Description
The GS2985 is a multi-rate serial digital reclocker designed to
automatically recover the embedded clock from a digital video
signal and retime the incoming video data. It will recover the
embedded clock signal and retime the data from a SMPTE 424M,
SMPTE 292M, or SMPTE 259M-C compliant digital video signal.
A serial host interface provides the ability to configure and
monitor multiple GS2985 devices in a daisy-chain configuration.
Adjustable input trace equalization (EQ) for up to 40” of FR4 trace
losses, and adjustable output de-emphasis (DE) for up to 20” of
FR4 trace losses, can be configured via the host interface.
The GS2985 can operate in either auto or manual rate selection
mode. In Auto mode, the device will automatically detect and lock
onto incoming SMPTE SDI data signals at any supported rate. For
single rate data systems, the GS2985 can be configured to operate
in Manual mode. In both modes, the device requires only one
external crystal to set the VCO frequency when not locked and
provides adjustment free operation.
The GS2985 accepts industry-standard differential input levels
including LVPECL and CML. The differential data and clock
outputs feature selectable output swing via the host interface,
ensuring compatibility with most industry-standard, terminated
differential receivers.
The GS2985 features dual differential outputs. The second output
can be configured to emit either the recovered clock signal or the
re-timed video data. This output can also be disabled to save
power.
In systems which require passing of non-SMPTE data rates, the
GS2985 can be configured to either automatically or manually
enter a bypass mode in order to pass the signal without reclocking.
The GS2985 is Pb-free, and the encapsulation compound does not
contain halogenated flame retardant. This component and all
homogeneous sub-components are RoHS compliant.

4. Detailed Description
The GS2985 is a multi-standard reclocker for serial digital SDTV signals operating at 270Mb/s,
and HDTV signals operating at 1.485Gb/s, 1.485/1.001Gb/s, 2.97Gb/s and 2.97/1.001Gb/s.
4.1 Serial Data Input
The GS2985 features four differential input buffers.
The serial data input signal is connected to the DDI0/DDI0, DDI1/DDI1, DDI2/DDI2 and
DDI3/DDI3 input pins of the device.
Input signals can be single-ended or differential, DC or AC-coupled.
The input circuit is self-biasing, to allow for simple AC or DC-coupling of input signals to the
device.
The serial digital data inputs are also compatible when DC-coupled with LVPECL or CML
differential outputs from crosspoint switches which operate from 3.3V or 2.5V supplies. This
includes but is not limited to: GS2974A, GS2974B, and GS2984 equalizers.
4.2 Modes of Operation
The GS2985 has two modes of operation: Legacy Mode (HIF = HIGH) and SPI Mode (HIF = LOW).
In Legacy Mode, chip functions are controlled via pins only, and offers limited control of input
equalization and output de-emphasis.
In SPI mode, access is gained to additional EQ and DE settings as well as access to additional
features such as LOS adjustment, polarity invert, auto-mute, etc.
4.3 Input Trace Equalization
The GS2985 features adjustable trace equalization to compensate for PCB trace dielectric losses
at 1.5GHz.
The trace equalization has three peak-gain settings. The maximum peak gain value is optimized
for compensating the high-frequency losses associated with 25 inches of 5-mil stripline in FR4
material. For boards with different striplines or materials, users can experiment to find the EQ
setting which optimizes their system performance.
These settings are accessible via the serial host interface.
Each serial digital input; DDI, DDI includes a pin EQn_EN to turn its trace equalizer on or off.
When a pin EQn_EN is tied LOW or left unconnected, the trace equalization for input n is set to
the Low Range.
When an EQn_EN pin is tied HIGH, and input n is selected, the trace equalization for input n is
set to the Medium Range.

Proprietary & Confidential
The default peak-gain setting upon power-up is optimized for compensating the
high-frequency losses associated with approximately 10 inches of 5-mil stripline in FR4
material.
The EQn_EN pins are multiplexed with the serial host interface pins. The EQn_EN functionality
is enabled when pin HIF is tied HIGH, as shown in Table 4-2:
4.4 4:1 Input Mux
The GS2985 incorporates a 4:1 input mux, which allows the connection of four independent
streams of video/data. There are four differential inputs (DDI[3:0] / DDI[3:0]). The active channel
can be selected via the DDI_SEL[1:0] pins as shown in Table 4-3.
The DDI_SEL pins include internal pull-downs, which pull the input voltage LOW if either pin
is unconnected. Active circuitry associated with the input buffers and trace EQ can only be
turned on for the selected input. Inputs which are not selected have their input buffers and trace
EQs turned OFF to save power. Unused inputs can be either left floating, or tied to VCC.

4.5 Crystal Buffer
The GS2985 features a crystal buffer supporting a Gennum recommended external 27MHz
crystal. The GS2985 requires an external 27MHz reference clock for correct operation. This
reference clock is generated by connecting a crystal to the XTAL- and XTAL+ pins of the device.
Alternately, a 27MHz external clock source can be connected to the XTAL- pin of the device,
while the XTAL+ pin should be left floating.
4.6 LOS (Loss Of Signal) Detection
The LOS (Loss Of Signal) status pin is an active-high output that indicates when the serial digital
input signal selected at the 4:1 input mux is invalid. In order for this output to be asserted,
transitions must not be present for a period of tLA = 5 - 10μs. After this output has been asserted,
LOS will de-assert within tLD = 0 - 5μs after the appearance of a transition at the DDIx input. See
Figure 4-1.
This signal is HIGH (signal lost), when the number of data edges within a window is below a
defined threshold. The output is automatically muted when LOS is detected.
This signal is LOW (signal valid), when the number of data edges within a window is above a
defined threshold. See Table 4-4.
The LOS function is operational for all operating modes of the device.
Figure 4-1: LOS Signal Timing
The LOS detector has two major modes. In legacy mode, a simple edge-based detector is used to
monitor the received signal at the output of the data slicer. Since the incoming signal has
undergone considerable gain by this point, the legacy detector can be more susceptible to false
de-assertion of LOS for unused channels which experience significant cross-talk from adjacent
active channels.

Proprietary & Confidential
The new LOS detector uses a measure of both signal amplitude and duration to minimize false
detection of the impulse like signals that are characteristic of cross-talk. In this mode, the signal
is tapped off at the output of the equalizer stage, prior to the high gain buffers.
The threshold setting within the detector can be adjusted to increase or decrease its sensitivity.
Gennum recommends using the least sensitive threshold level. This provides the most margin
against false de-assertion of LOS.
The LOS mode can be selected by using the host interface, in register TOP_1 (address 0x02).
4.7 Serial Digital Reclocker
The output of the Equalizer is fed to the reclocker. The function of the reclocker is to re-time the
input signal and to generate system clocks.
The reclocker operates at three frequencies; 2.97Gb/s, 1.485Gb/s and 270Mb/s, and provides a
minimum input jitter tolerance of 0.8UI to square-wave-modulated jitter at these rates.
When there is no serial input signal, the internal clock maintains a frequency close to the
expected incoming data rate, by locking to the external reference crystal.
4.8 Lock Detection
The lock detect block indicates, via the active-high LOCKED signal, when the device has
achieved lock to the incoming data stream.
The lock logic within the GS2985 includes a system that monitors the frequency and the phase
of the incoming data, as well as a monitor to detect harmonic lock.
The LOCKED output signal is also available via the host interface.

4.8.1 Lock Detect and Asynchronous Lock
The reference crystal is used to assist the PLL in achieving a short lock time. The lock detection
algorithm is a continuous process, which begins at device power up or after a system reset, and
continues until the device is powered down.
The asynchronous lock time is defined as the time it takes the device to lock when a video signal
is first applied to the serial digital inputs, or when the digital video signal rate changes.
The synchronous lock time is defined as the time it takes the device to lock to a signal which has
been momentarily interrupted.
4.9 Serial Data Output
The GS2985 features two current-mode differential output drivers, each capable of driving a
maximum of 800mVpp, differential, into an external 100Ω differential load.
Each of the GS2985's output buffers include two on-chip, 50Ω termination resistors.
4.9.1 Output Signal Interface Levels
The serial digital outputs of the GS2985 are compatible when DC-coupled with all Gennum
serial digital interface products that feature a differential LVPECL or CML receiver designed for
SDI applications and operate from 3.3V or 2.5V supplies. This includes but is not limited to:
GS2978, GS2988, and GS2989 cable drivers.
4.9.2 Adjustable Output Swing
It is possible, via the host interface, to force the output swing to 400mVpp or 800mVpp
differential, when the outputs are terminated with 50Ω loads.
The default output swing upon power-up is 400mVpp differential.
4.9.3 Output De-emphasis
The GS2985 features adjustable output de-emphasis to compensate for PCB trace dielectric
losses.
The output de-emphasis has eight settings, evenly distributed from a minimum of 0dB (output
de-emphasis OFF) to a peak de-emphasis setting that is optimized for compensating the
high-frequency losses associated with approximately 20 inches of 5-mil stripline in FR4
material. These settings are accessible via the serial host interface.
The action of the de-emphasis settings is to attenuate the trailing edge of the output data
waveform relative to the output swings set through the host interface.
Each serial digital output DDOn, DDOn includes a DEn_EN pin to turn its output de-emphasis
on or off. De-emphasis is also turned OFF when in Bypass mode.

When DEn_EN is set LOW or left unconnected, the de-emphasis for output n is OFF. When HIF
is HIGH, these DE_EN controls select between OFF and a setting that compensates for roughly
five inches of trace.
All other settings are available only via the host interface.
When a DEn_EN pin is tied HIGH, the output de-emphasis for output n is ON.
The default de-emphasis setting upon power-up is 0dB (OFF).
NOTE: Changing the de-emphasis setting will vary both V1 & V2 (see Figure 4-2).
Figure 4-2: De-emphasis Waveform
4.10 Automatic and Manual Data Rate Selection
The GS2985 can be configured to manually lock to a specific data rate or automatically search
for and lock to the incoming data rate. The AUTO/MAN pin selects Automatic data rate
detection mode (AUTO mode) when HIGH and manual data rate selection mode (MANUAL
mode) when LOW.
In AUTO mode, the SS[1:0] bi-directional pins become outputs and the bit pattern indicates the
data rate at which the PLL is currently locked to (or previously locked to). The search algorithm

cycles through the data rates and starts over if that data rate is not found (see Figure 4-3).
A “search algorithm” cycles through the supported data rates until lock is achieved, as
shown in Figure 4-3 below.
Figure 4-3: GS2985 Automatic Mode Search Algorithm
In MANUAL mode, the SS[1:0] pins become inputs and the data rate can be programmed.
In this mode, the search algorithm is disabled and the GS2985's PLL will only lock to the
data rate selected in accordance with Table 4-8.
4.11 SD/HD Indication
The SD/HD signal indicates the output data rate of the device and can be connected to
the SD/HD input pin of dual slew rate cable drivers such as the GS2988.
When this signal is HIGH, the data rate is 270Mb/s. This signal is LOW for all other data
rates.
This signal is also LOW when the device is operating in bypass mode (Auto-bypass and
User-bypass).
The SD/HD signal is LOW when the device is not locked.

4.12 Bypass Mode
In bypass mode, the GS2985 passes the data at the inputs, directly to the output. There
are two pins that control the bypass function: BYPASS and AUTOBYPASS.
The BYPASS pin is an active-high signal which forces the GS2985 into bypass mode for
as long as the pin is asserted HIGH.
The AUTOBYPASS pin is an active-high signal that places the GS2985 into bypass mode
only when the PLL has not locked to a data rate.
Note that if BYPASS is HIGH, this will override the AUTOBYPASS functionality.
When the GS2985's PLL is not locked and BYPASS = LOW and AUTOBYPASS = LOW, the
serial digital output DDO/DDO will produce invalid data.
The AUTOBYPASS function will bypass unsupported (non-reclocked) SMPTE SDI signal
rates without producing bit errors: 143Mb/s, 177Mb/s, 360Mb/s, 540Mb/s.
4.13 DVB-ASI
The GS2985 also reclocks DVB-ASI signals at 270Mb/s. In auto mode, the device will
automatically lock to the incoming 270Mb/s signal. In manual mode, the SS[1:0] bits
must be set to 01 (270Mb/s) to ensure proper operation.
4.14 Output Mute and Data/Clock Output Selection
The DATA_MUTE pin is provided to allow muting of the serial digital data output.
Setting DATA_MUTE = LOW will force the serial digital outputs DDO/DDO to mute
(statically latch HIGH) under all conditions and operating modes.
The DDO1_DISABLE pin is provided to allow the second data/clock output to be
powered down.
When DDO1_DISABLE is set LOW, the serial digital clock outputs DDO1/RCO and
DDO1/RCO are muted and the driver is powered-down.
The DATA/CLOCK pin is provided to allow the second output to emit a copy of the
reclocked serial data or the recovered clock.

4.15 Host Interface
4.15.1 Introduction
The GS2985 offers a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) to access advanced features and
programmability. The polarity of the HIF pin tells the GS2985 whether or not the host
interface is active (HIF = 0) or in legacy mode (HIF = 1).
Using the host interface, it is possible to override the control pin settings, and such
settings will persist until the device has been powered-down and/or reset. The host
interface is capable of reading hard-wired pin configuration, pin override settings and
the values of all status monitoring pins.
There is an optional 3-state feature available in the Control Status Registers (CSR) that
puts the SPI SDO to high-impedance when it’s not being used (Register: TOP_1, Bit: 2).
The maximum operating speed of the SPI is 10MHz.
4.15.2 Legacy Mode & Start-up
In legacy mode, basic configuration of the device (including a subset of equalizer and
de-emphasis settings) are available at the pin level. In this mode, register settings are
automatically set to default so that the GS2985 is live at power-up.
4.15.3 Host Interface Mode & Start-up
In host interface mode, the user gains access to Control and Status Registers (CSRs) that
manage advanced features. In this mode, equalizer and de-emphasis settings are set
through the CSR.
The SPI control port is functional at start-up without the need for a separate, external
reset signal. However, all internal registers must be set to their default state by issuing a
required Reset Command via the SPI.

This is done by setting the RST bit low in the command word. This will guarantee the CSR
will not start up in a random state.
A simple way to issue the required reset of the CSR is to hold the slave device’s SDI input
LOW for an entire 64 cycle WRITE communication. Details of the WRITE operation are
found in section 4.15.6 below.
4.15.4 Clock & Data Timing
The SPI signals are Serial Data Input (SDI), Serial Data Output (SDO), Active Low Chip
Select (CS), and Serial Clock Input (SCK). The host interface operates in SPI Mode 0, i.e.
the SDI input will latch data in on the rising edge of SCK. The SDO data output will
transition on falling edges of SCK. Data is transmitted or received on the SPI port MSB
first LSB last.
Figure 4-4: Data Clock Alignment
4.15.5 Single Device Operation
For applications with a single device or applications with multiple devices where daisy
chaining is not desired, the chain position bits C[6:0] should always be set to 0. As a
by-product of the daisy chaining feature, Read and Write operations experience a 32
SCK cycle latency from SDI to SDO. For more details on daisy-chaining, refer to
Section 4.15.8 on page 32.

4.15.8 Daisy Chain Operation
For applications with multiple GS2985 devices, it is possible to daisy-chain up to 127 parts in
serial. In this configuration, the first device SDI should be connected to the SPI Master SDO. The
serial data output of each device is then connected to the serial data input of the following
device, and so on. The last device's SDO connects to the Master's SDI. Connecting devices in
serial reduces the number of I/O ports required by the master by removing the need for
additional chip select lines.
Figure 4-10: Daisy Chained SPI Bus
The position of each GS2985 device in the serial chain is referred to as its Chain Position, with 0
corresponding to the first device. The Chain Position in the SPI command word is decoded by
each slave to know which device the master is talking to.
Each GS2985 slave is designed to output a replica of what it receives at its input after a delay of
32 cycles. The Chain Position part of the command is decremented by one in the duplicated
command word at the output. Each device in the chain will only execute the issued command
if it verifies that the current chain position is set to 0.

4.15.9 Read & Write Operation - Daisy Chained Devices
In a serial daisy chain configuration, Read and/or Write operations can be performed to
multiple devices in the chain via consecutive operations. Figure 4-12 below shows a simple 3
device configuration.
Figure 4-12: Three Devices in Daisy Chain Configuration
4.15.10 Writing to all Devices
When writing to all devices in the chain, a Write Command and corresponding Data is required
for each device. When the devices are being configured in the same way, all of them will have
the same command and data with the exception of the Chain Position bits. This example
assumes a 3-device daisy chain. A command is issued to the last device in the chain first,
although it is possible to talk to the devices in any order.
Figure 4-13: Daisy Chain Write
1. The first command issued in time is the command for the last device in the chain (chain
position = 2). When the first device receives this command it will recognize that the Chain
Position is 2 and will not execute the command. It will duplicate the command and data
word at its output and decrement the Chain Position by one.
2. Consecutive commands are issued for each device in the chain as shown.

4.15.11 Writing to a Single Device in the Chain
The following example shows how to write to a single device in a chain:
Figure 4-14: Daisy Chain Write to a Single Device
1. The command is issued to Chain Position N.
2. 32xN cycles are required to shift the command through N devices. The device at chain
position N executes the command.
3. 32 additional cycles are required to complete the communication.
4.15.12 Reading from all Devices
To read from all devices in the chain, a Read command is issued for each device consecutively.
After each command, the data is held HIGH for 16 cycles. Once a device recognizes it is being
talked to, it will output data from the register requested. Clock needs to be applied to cycle the
output data through all devices in the chain.
Figure 4-15: Daisy Chain Read
1. Read command is issued to the last device in the chain, followed by Read commands to the
lower chain positions.
2. Clock is applied to cycle the output data through the chain.

The following example shows how to read from a single device in a chain:
Figure 4-16: Daisy Chain Read from a Single Device
1. Read command and 16 cycles of data held HIGH are issued to chain position N.
2. 32xN cycles are applied with data HIGH to cycle the command through N devices in the
chain (NOTE: N is 0 for first device in chain). Device N executes the command.
3. With K representing the total number of devices in the chain, 32x(K-N-1) cycles are applied
to bring the return data through the rest of the chain.
4. 16 additional cycles are applied until the Data from device N is available on the Master SDI.

4.16 Device Power-up
In host mode (HIF pin tied LOW), control & status registers (CSRs) may start up in a
random state. There is a bit in the command word RST which will reset the CSR when set
LOW.
In non-host mode (HIF pin tied HIGH), the HIF pin is used to trigger an internal reset
signal to place all registers in a deterministic, default state upon power-up.
In either host mode or non-host mode, other internal state machines (e.g. offset
correction and PLL) automatically recover from any state at start-up with no reset
required. It takes ~10μs for the device to lock after start-up.
4.17 Standby
The purpose of Standby mode is to allow operating power to be reduced when the
device's functionality is not required, and to have a rapid and simple transition to full
operation when the device is required.
In order to achieve this, the device can be powered-down by writing a ‘1’ to the ‘Power
Down’ bit located in register address 0x02.
