MSO-N35AC200V7.5KW - MITSUBISHI SEMICONDUCTOR

General Description

The MAX9206/MAX9208 deserializers transform a high-

speed serial bus low-voltage differential signaling

(BLVDS) data stream into 10-bit-wide parallel LVCMOS/

LVTTL data and clock. The deserializers pair with seri-

alizers such as the MAX9205/MAX9207, which gener-

ate a serial BLVDS signal from 10-bit-wide parallel

data. The serializer/deserializer combination reduces

interconnect, simplifies PCB layout, and reduces board

size.

The MAX9206/MAX9208 receive serial data at

450Mbps and 600Mbps, respectively, over board

traces or twisted-pair cables. These devices combine

frequency lock, bit lock, and frame lock to produce a

parallel-rate clock and word-aligned 10-bit data.

Serialization eliminates parallel bus clock-to-data and

data-to-data skew.

A power-down mode reduces typical supply current to

less than 600µA. Upon power-up (applying power or

driving PWRDN high), the MAX9206/MAX9208 estab-

lish lock after receiving synchronization signals or serial

data from the MAX9205/MAX9207. An output enable

allows the outputs to be disabled, putting the parallel

data outputs and recovered output clock into a high-

impedance state without losing lock.

The MAX9206/MAX9208 operate from a single +3.3V

supply and are specified for operation from -40°C to

+85°C. The MAX9206/MAX9208 are available in 28-pin

SSOP packages.

Detailed Description

The MAX9206/MAX9208 deserialize a BLVDS serializ-

er's output into 10-bit wide parallel LVCMOS/LVTTL

data and a parallel rate clock. The MAX9206/MAX9208

include a PLL that locks to the frequency and phase of

the serial input, and digital circuits that deserialize and

deframe the data. The MAX9206/MAX9208 have high-

input jitter tolerance while receiving data at speeds

from 160Mbps to 600Mbps. Combination with the

MAX9205/MAX9207 BLVDS serializers allows data

transmission across backplanes using PCB traces, or

across twin-ax or twisted-pair cables.

The MAX9206/MAX9208 deserializers provide a power-

saving, power-down mode when PWRDN is driven low.

The output enable, REN, allows the parallel data out-

puts (ROUT_) and recovered clock (RCLK) to be

enabled or disabled while maintaining lock to the serial

input. LOCK, along with RCLK, indicates when data is

valid at ROUT_. Parallel, deserialized data at ROUT_ is

strobed out on the selected strobe edge of RCLK. The

strobe edge of RCLK is programmable. The falling

edge is selected when RCLK_R/Fis low and the rising

edge is selected when RCLK_R/Fis high.

The interface may be point-to-point or a heavily loaded

bus. The characteristic impedance of the media and

connections can range from 100Ωfor a point-to-point

interface to 54Ωfor a heavily loaded bus. A double-ter-

minated point-to-point interface uses a 100Ωtermina-

tion resistor at each end of the interface, resulting in a

total load of 50Ω. A heavily loaded bus with a termina-

tion as low as 54Ωat each end of the bus (resulting in a

total load of 27Ω) can be driven.

A high state bit and a low state bit, added by the

BLVDS serializer, frame each 10 bits of serial data and

create a guaranteed transition for clock recovery. The

high bit is prepended at the start and the low bit is

appended at the end of the 10-bit data. The rising edge

formed at the end/start bit boundary functions as an

embedded clock. Twelve serial bits (10 data + 2 frame)

are transmitted by the serializer and received by the

deserializer for each 10 bits of data transferred. The

MAX9206 accepts a 16MHz to 45MHz reference clock,

and receives serial data at 160Mbps (10 data bits x

16MHz) to 450Mbps (10 data bits x 45MHz). The

MAX9208 accepts a 40MHz to 60MHz reference clock,

and receives serial data at a rate of 400Mbps to

600Mbps.

Initialization

Initialize the MAX9206/MAX9208 before receiving data.

When power is applied, with REFCLK stable and

PWRDN high, RCLK and ROUT_ are held in high

impedance, LOCK goes high, and the on-chip PLL

locks to REFCLK in 2048 cycles. After locking to REF-

CLK, ROUT_ is active, RCLK tracks REFCLK, and

LOCK remains high. If transitions are detected at the

serial input, the PLL locks to the phase and frequency

of the serial input, finds the frame bits, and drives

LOCK low. If the serial input is sync patterns, LOCK

goes low in 42 or fewer cycles of RCLK. When LOCK

goes low, RCLK switches from tracking REFCLK to

tracking the serializer reference clock (TCLK).

Deserialized data at ROUT_ is valid on the second

selected strobe edge of RCLK after LOCK goes low.

Initialization restarts when power is cycled or on the ris-

ing edge of PWRDN.

Lock to Pseudorandom Data

The MAX9206/MAX9208 lock to pseudorandom serial

input data by deductively eliminating rising edges due

to data until the embedded end/start edge is found.

The end/start edge is identified unless the data con-

tains a permanent, consecutive, frame-to-frame rising

edge at the same bit position. Send sync patterns to

guarantee lock. A sync pattern is six consecutive ones

followed by six consecutive zeros, repeating every

RCLK period with only one rising edge (at the end/start

boundary). The MAX9205/MAX9207 serializers gener-

ate sync patterns when SYNC1 or SYNC2 is driven

high.

Since sending sync patterns to initialize a deserializer

disrupts data transfer to all deserializers receiving the

same serial input (Figure 11, for example), lock to

pseudorandom data is preferred in many applications.

Lock to pseudorandom data allows initialization of a

deserializer after hot insertion without disrupting data

communication on other links.

The MAX9206/MAX9208s’ deductive algorithm pro-

vides very fast pseudorandom data lock times. Table 1

compares typical lock times for pseudorandom and

sync pattern inputs.

Power-Down

Drive PWRDN low to enter the power-down mode. In

power-down, the PLL is stopped and the outputs

(ROUT_, RCLK, and LOCK) are put in high impedance,

disabling drive current and also reducing supply cur-

rent.

Output Enable

When the deserializer is initialized and REN is high,

ROUT_ is active, RCLK tracks the serializer reference

clock (TCLK), and LOCK is low. Driving REN low dis-

ables the ROUT_ and RCLK output drivers and does

not affect state machine timing. ROUT_ and RCLK go

MAX9206/MAX9208

10-Bit Bus LVDS Deserializers

_______________________________________________________________________________________ 9

into high impedance but LOCK continues to reflect the

status of the serial input. Driving REN high again

enables the ROUT_ and RCLK drivers.

Losing Lock on Serial Data

If one embedded clock edge (rising edge formed by

end/start bits) is not detected, LOCK goes high, RCLK

tracks REFCLK, and ROUT_ stays active but with

invalid data. LOCK stays high for a minimum of two

RCLK cycles. Then, if transitions are detected at the

serial input, the PLL attempts to lock to the serial input.

When the PLL locks to serial input data, LOCK goes

low, RCLK tracks the serializer reference clock (TCLK),

and ROUT_ is valid on the second selected strobe

edge of RCLK after LOCK goes low. A minimum of two

embedded clock edges in a row are required to regain

lock to the serial input after LOCK goes high.

For automatic resynchronization, LOCK can be con-

nected to the MAX9205/MAX9207 serializer SYNC1 or

SYNC2 input. With this connection, when LOCK goes

high, the serializer sends sync patterns until the deseri-

alizer locks to the serial input and drives LOCK low.

Input Fail-Safe

When the serial input is undriven (a disconnected cable

or serializer output in high impedance, for example) an

on-chip fail-safe circuit (Figure 2) drives the serial input

high. The response time of the fail-safe circuit depends

on interconnect characteristics. With an undriven input,

LOCK may switch high and low until the fail-safe circuit

takes effect. The undriven condition of the link can be

detected in spite of LOCK switching since LOCK is

high long enough to be sampled (LOCK is high for at

least two RCLK cycles after a missed clock edge and

RCLK keeps running, allowing sampling). If it is

required that LOCK remain high for an undriven input,

the on-chip fail-safe circuit can be supplemented with

external pullup bias resistors.

Deserializer Jitter Tolerance

The tJT parameter specifies the total zero-to-peak input

jitter the deserializer can tolerate before a sampling

error occurs (Figure 9). Zero-to-peak jitter is measured

from the mean value of the deterministic jitter distribu-

tion. Sources of jitter include the serializer (supply

noise, reference clock jitter, pulse skew, and intersym-

bol interference), the interconnect (intersymbol interfer-

ence, crosstalk, within-pair skew, ground shift), and the

deserializer (supply noise). The sum of the zero-to-peak

individual jitter sources must be less than or equal to

the minimum value of tJT.

For example, at 40MHz, the MAX9205 serializer has

140ps (p-p) maximum deterministic output jitter. The

zero-to-peak value is 140ps/2 = 70ps. If the intercon-

nect jitter is 100ps (p-p) with a symmetrical distribution,

the zero-to-peak jitter is 50ps. The MAX9206 deserializ-

er jitter tolerance is 720ps at 40MHz. The total zero-to-

peak input jitter is 70ps + 50ps = 120ps, which is less

than the jitter tolerance. In this case, the margin is

720ps - 120ps = 600ps.

Applications Information

Power-Supply Bypassing

Bypass each supply pin with high-frequency surface-

mount ceramic 0.1µF and 0.001µF capacitors in paral-

lel as close to the device as possible, with the smaller

valued capacitor the closest to the supply pin.

Differential Traces and Termination

Trace characteristics affect the performance of the

MAX9206/MAX9208. Use controlled-impedance media.

Avoid the use of unbalanced cables such as ribbon or

simple coaxial cable. Balanced cables such as twisted

pair offer superior signal quality and tend to generate

less EMI due to canceling effects. Balanced cables

tend to pick up noise as common mode, which is

rejected by a differential receiver.

Eliminate reflections and ensure that noise couples as

common mode by running differential traces close

together. Reduce skew by matching the electrical

length of the traces. Excessive skew can result in a

degradation of magnetic field cancellation.

Maintain a constant distance between the differential

traces to avoid discontinuities in differential impedance.

Avoid 90°turns and minimize the number of vias to fur-

ther prevent impedance discontinuities.

Topologies

The MAX9206/MAX9208 deserializers can operate in a

variety of topologies. Examples of double-terminated

point-to-point and point-to-point broadcast are shown

in Figures 10 and 11. Use 1% surface-mount termina-

tion resistors.

A point-to-point interface terminated at each end in the

characteristic impedance of the cable or PCB traces is

shown in Figure 10. The total load seen by the serializer

is 50Ω. The double termination typically reduces reflec-

tions compared to a single 100Ωtermination. A single

100Ωtermination at the deserializer input is feasible

and makes the differential signal swing larger.

A point-to-point version of a multidrop bus is shown in

Figure 11. The low-jitter MAX9150 10-port repeater is

used to reproduce and transmit the serializer output

over 10 double-terminated point-to-point links.

Compared to a bus, more interconnect is traded for

robust hot-plug capability.

The repeater eliminates nine serializers compared to 10

individual point-to-point serializer-to-deserializer con-

nections. Since repeater jitter is a component of the

total jitter seen at the deserializer input (along with

other sources of jitter), a low-jitter repeater is essential

in most high data-rate applications.

Board Layout

A four-layer PCB providing separate power, ground,

and signal layers is recommended. Keep the

LVTTL/LVCMOS inputs and outputs separated from the

BLVDS inputs to prevent coupling into the BLVDS lines.
