3.3V 32-175Mbps AnyRate(R) CLOCK AND DATA RECOVERY Use lower-power SY87700AL for new designs Micrel, Inc. FEATURES SY87700L SY87700L DESCRIPTION Industrial temperature range (-40C to +85C) 3.3V power supply SONET/SDH/ATM compatible Clock and data recovery from 32Mbps up to 175Mbps NRZ data stream, clock generation from 32Mbps to 175Mbps Two on-chip PLLs: one for clock generation and another for clock recovery Selectable reference frequencies Differential PECL high-speed serial I/O Line receiver input: no external buffering needed Link Fault indication 100k ECL compatible I/O Complies with Bellcore, ITU/CCITT and ANSI specifications for applications such as OC-1 and OC-3 as well as proprietary applications Available in 32-pin EPAD-TQFP and 28-pin SOIC packages (28-pin SOIC is available, but is not recommended for new designs.) The SY87700L is a complete Clock Recovery and Data Retiming integrated circuit for data rates from 32Mbps up to 175Mbps NRZ. The device is ideally suited for SONET/SDH/ATM applications and other high-speed data transmission systems. Clock recovery and data retiming is performed by synchronizing the on-chip VCO directly to the incoming data stream. The VCO center frequency is controlled by the reference clock frequency and the selected divide ratio. On-chip clock generation is performed through the use of a frequency multiplier PLL with a byte rate source as reference. The SY87700L also includes a link fault detection circuit.

SY87700L PIN DESCRIPTIONS Pin Number SOIC Pin Number TQFP Pin Name 4 5 2 3 RDINP, RDINN Serial Data Input (Differential PECL): These built-in line receiver inputs are connected to the differential receive serial data stream. An internal receive PLL recovers the embedded clock (RCLK) and data (RDOUT) information. The incoming data rate can be within one of five frequency ranges depending on the state of the FREQSEL pins. See "Frequency Selection" table. 7 5 REFCLK Reference Clock (TTL Inputs): This input is used as the reference for the internal frequency synthesizer and the "training" frequency for the receiver PLL to keep it centered in the absence of data coming in on the RDIN inputs. 27 26 CD Carrier Detect (PECL Input): This input controls the recovery function of the Receive PLL and can be driven by the carrier detect output of optical modules or from external transition detection circuitry. When this input is HIGH the input data stream (RDIN) is recovered normally by the Receive PLL. When this input is LOW the data on the inputs RDIN will be internally forced to a constant LOW, the data outputs RDOUT will remain LOW, the Link Fault Indicator output LFIN forced LOW and the clock recovery PLL forced to look onto the clock frequency generated from REFCLK. 6 8 9 4 6 7 FREQSEL1, FREQSEL2, FREQSEL3 3 26 32 25 DIVSEL1, DIVSEL2 Divider Select (TTL Inputs): These inputs select the ratio between the output clock frequency (RCLK/TCLK) and the REFCLK input frequency as shown in the "Reference Frequency Selection" table. 17 16 CLKSEL Clock Select (TTL Inputs): This input is used to select either the recovered clock of the receiver PLL (CLKSEL = HIGH) or the clock of the frequency synthesizer (CLKSEL = LOW) to the TCLK outputs. 2 31 LFIN Link Fault Indicator (TTL Output): This output indicates the status of the input data stream RDIN. Active HIGH signal is indicating when the internal clock recovery PLL has locked onto the incoming data stream. LFIN will go HIGH if CD is HIGH and RDIN is within the frequency range of the Receive PLL (1000ppm). LFIN is an asynchronous output. 25 24 24 23 RDOUTP, RDOUTN 22 21 21 20 RCLKP, RCLKN Clock Output (Differential PECL): These ECL 100k outputs represent the recovered clock used to sample the recovered data (RDOUT). 19 18 18 17 TCLKP, TCLKN Clock Output (Differential PECL): These ECL 100k outputs represent either the recovered clock (CLKSEL = HIGH) used to sample the recovered data (RDOUT) or the transmit clock of the frequency synthesizer (CLKSEL = LOW). 11 12 9 10 PLLSP, PLLSN Clock Synthesis PLL Loop Filter.

Receive Data Output (Differential PECL): These ECL 100k outputs represent the recovered data from the input data stream (RDIN). This recovered data is specified against the rising edge of RCLK.

SY87700L FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Lock Detect The SY87700L contains a link fault indication circuit which monitors the integrity of the serial data inputs. If the received serial data fails the frequency test, the PLL will be forced to lock to the local reference clock. This will maintain the correct frequency of the recovered clock output under loss of signal or loss of lock conditions. If the recovered clock frequency deviates from the local reference clock frequency by more than approximately 1000ppm, the PLL will be declared out of lock. The lock detect circuit will poll the input data stream in an attempt to reacquire lock to data. If the recovered clock frequency is determined to be within approximately 1000ppm, the PLL will be declared in lock and the lock detect output will go active. Clock Recovery Clock Recovery, as shown in the block diagram generates a clock that is at the same frequency as the incoming data bit rate at the Serial Data input. The clock is phase aligned by a PLL so that it samples the data in the center of the data eye pattern. The phase relationship between the edge transitions of the data and those of the generated clock are compared by a phase/frequency detector. Output pulses from the detector indicate the required direction of phase correction. These pulses are smoothed by an integral loop filter. The output of the loop filter controls the frequency of the Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), which generates the recovered clock. Frequency stability without incoming data is guaranteed by an alternate reference input (REFCLK) that the PLL locks onto when data is lost. If the Frequency of the incoming signal varies by greater than approximately 1000ppm with respect to the synthesizer frequency, the PLL will be declared out of lock, and the PLL will lock to the reference clock. The loop filter transfer function is optimized to enable the PLL to track the jitter, yet tolerate the minimum transition density expected in a received SONET data signal. This transfer function yields a 30s data stream of continuous 1's or 0's for random incoming NRZ data. The total loop dynamics of the clock recovery PLL provides jitter tolerance which is better than the specified tolerance in GR-253-CORE.

SY87700L CHARACTERISTICS Jitter Transfer Jitter transfer function is defined as the ratio of jitter on the output OC-N/STS-N signal to the jitter applied on the input OC-N/STS-N signal versus frequency. Jitter transfer requirements are shown in Figure 2. Performance The SY87700L PLL complies with the jitter specifications proposed for SONET/SDH equipment defined by the Bellcore Specifications: GR-253-CORE, Issue 2, December 1995 and ITU-T Recommendations: G.958 document, when used with differential inputs and outputs. Jitter Generation The jitter of the serial clock and serial data outputs shall not exceed .01 U.I. rms when a serial data input with no jitter is presented to the serial data inputs. Input Jitter Tolerance Input jitter tolerance is defined as the peak-to-peak amplitude of sinusoidal jitter applied on the input signal that causes an equivalent 1dB optical/electrical power penalty. SONET input jitter tolerance requirement condition is the input jitter amplitude which causes an equivalent of 1dB power penalty.

SY87700L APPENDIX A Layout and General Suggestions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Establish controlled impedance stripline, microstrip, or co-planar construction techniques. Signal paths should have, approximately, the same width as the device pads. All differential paths are critical timing paths, where skew should be matched to within 10ps. Signal trace impedance should not vary more than 5%. If in doubt, perform TDR analysis of all high-speed signal traces. Maintain compact filter networks as close to filter pins as possible. Provide ground plane relief under filter path to reduce stray capacitance. Be careful of crosstalk coupling into the filter network. Maintain low jitter on the REFCLK input. Isolate the XTAL oscillator from power supply noise by adequately decoupling. Keep XTAL oscillator close to device, and minimize capacitive coupling from adjacent signals. Higher speed operation may require use of fundamental-tone (third-overtone typically have more jitter) crystal based oscillator for optimum performance. Evaluate and compare candidates by measuring TXCLK jitter. All unused outputs must be terminated. To conserve power, unused PECL outputs can be terminated with a 1k resistor to VEE.
