4-BIT PARALLEL-TO-SERIAL CONVERTER Micrel, Inc. SY100E446 DESCRIPTION FEATURES On-chip clock /4 and /8 Extended 100E VEE range of -4.2V to -5.5V SY10E446 SY100E446 SY10E446 The SY10/100E446 are integrated 4-bit parallel-toserial data converters. These devices are designed to operate for NRZ data rates of up to a minimum of 1.3Gb/ s. The chips generate a divide-by-4 and a divide-by-8 clock for both 4-bit conversion and a two-chip 8-bit conversion function. The conversion sequence was chosen to convert the parallel data into a serial stream from bit D0 to D3. A serial input is provided to cascade two E446 devices for 8-bit conversion applications. The SYNC input will asynchronously reset the internal clock circuitry. This pin allows the user to reset the internal clock conversion unit and, thus, select the start of the conversion process. The MODE input is used to select the conversion mode of the device. With the MODE input LOW (or open) the device will function as a 4-bit converter. When the mode input is driven HIGH, the internal load clock will change on every eighth clock cycle, thus allowing for an 8-bit conversion scheme using two E446s. When cascaded in an 8-bit conversion scheme, the devices will not operate at the 1.3Gb/s data rate of a single device. Refer to the applications section of this data sheet for more information on cascading the E446. For lower data rate applications, a V BB reference voltage is supplied for single-ended inputs. When operating at clock rates above 500MHz, differential input signals are recommended. For single-ended inputs, the VBB pin is tied to the inverting differential input and bypassed via a 0.01F capacitor. The VBB provides the switching reference for the input differential amplifier. The VBB can also be used to AC couple an input signal. 1.6Gb/s typical data rate capability Differential clock and serial inputs VBB output for single-ended use Asynchronous data synchronization Mode select to expand to 8 bits Internal 75K input pulldown resistors Fully compatible with Motorola MC10E/100E446 Available in 28-pin PLCC package PIN NAMES Pin Function SIN, SIN Differential Serial Data Input D0 - D3 Parallel Data Input SOUT, SOUT Differential Serial Data Output CLK, CLK Differential Clock Input CL/4, CL/4 Differential 4 Clock Output CL/8, CL/8 Differential 8 Clock Output MODE Conversion Mode, 4-bit/8-bit SYNC Conversion Synchronizing Input VCCO VCC to Output M9999-032206 hbwhelp@micrel.com or (408) 955-1690 1 Rev.: F Amendment: /0 Issue Date: March 2006 SY10E446 SY100E446 Micrel, Inc.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The SY10E/100E446 are integrated 4:1 parallel-to-serial converters. The chips are designed to work with the E445 device to provide both transmission and receiving of a highspeed serial data path. The E446 can convert 4 bits of data into a 1.3Gb/s NRZ data stream. The device features a SYNC input which allows the user to reset the internal clock circuitry and restart the conversion sequence (see Timing Diagram A). Note that SOUT is triggered by negative clock edges. The E446 features a differential serial input and internal divide-by-eight circuitry to facilitate the cascading of two devices to build an 8:1 multiplexer. Figure 1 illustrates the architecture for an 8:1 multiplexer using two E446s (see Timing Diagram B). Notice the serial outputs (SOUT) of the lower order converter feed the serial inputs of the higher order device. This feed through of the serial inputs bounds the upper end of the frequency of operation. The clock-toserial output propagation delay, plus the set-up time of the serial input pins, must fit into a single clock period for the cascade architecture to function properly. Using the worst case values for these two parameters from the data sheet, tPD CLK to SOUT = 1600ps and ts for SIN = -200ps, yields a minimum period of 1400ps or a clock frequency of 700MHz. The clock frequency is somewhat lower than that of a single converter. In order to increase this frequency, it is recommended that the clock edge feeding the E446A be delayed with respect to the E446B, as shown in Figure 2. Perhaps the easiest way to delay the second clock relative to the first is to take advantage of the differential clock inputs of the E446. By connecting the clock for E446A to the complimentary clock input pin, the device will clock a half a clock period after E446B (Figure 2). Utilizing this simple technique will raise the potential conversion frequency up to the maximum 1.3GHz of a stand-alone E446.
