Description
The CY7B951 Local Area Network ATM Transceiver is used in
SONET/SDH and ATM applications to recover clock and data
information from a 155.52 MHz or 51.84 MHz NRZ (Non
Return to Zero) or NRZI (Non Return to Zero Invert on ones)
serial data stream. This device also provides a bit-rate
Transmit clock, from a byte-rate source through the use of a
frequency multiplier PLL, and differential data buffering for the
Transmit side of the system (see Figure 1).
Operating Frequency
The CY7B951 operates at either of two frequency ranges. The
MODE input selects which of the two frequency ranges the
Transmit frequency multiplier PLL and the Receive clock and
data recovery PLL will operate. The MODE input has three
different functional selections. When MODE is connected to
V
CC
, the highest operating range of the device is selected. A
19.44 MHz ±1% source must drive the REFCLK input and the
two PLLs will multiply this rate by 8 to provide output clocks
that operate at 155.52 MHz ±1%. When the MODE input is
connected to ground (GND), the lowest operating range of the
device is selected. A 6.48 MHz ±1% source must drive the
REFCLK inputs and the two PLLs will multiply this rate by 8 to
provide output clocks that operate at 51.84 MHz ±1%. When
the MODE input is left unconnected or forced to approximately
V
CC
/2, the device enters Test mode.
Transmit Functions
The transmit section of the CY7B951 contains a PLL that takes
a REFCLK input and multiplies it by 8 (REFCLK⋅8) to produce
a PECL (Pseudo ECL) differential output clock (TCLK±). The
transmitter has two operating ranges that are selectable with
the three-level MODE pin as explained above. The CY7B951
Transmit frequency multiplier PLL allows low-cost byte rate
clock sources to be used to time the upstream serial data
transmitter, as shown in Figure 1.
The REFCLK± input can be configured three ways. When both
REFCLK+ and REFCLK– are connected to a differential
100K-compatible PECL source, the REFCLK input will behave
as a differential PECL input. When either the REFCLK– or the
REFCLK+ input is at a TTL LOW, the other REFCLK input
becomes a TTL-level input allowing it to be connected to a
low-cost TTL crystal oscillator. The REFCLK input structure,
therefore, can be used as a differential PECL input, a single
TTL input, or as a dual TTL clock multiplexing input.
The Transmit PECL differential input pair (TSER±) is buffered
by the CY7B951 yielding the differential data outputs (TOUT±).
These outputs can be used to directly drive transmission
media such as Printed Circuit Board (PCB) traces, optical
drivers, twisted pair, or coaxial cable.
Receive Functions
The primary function of the receiver is to recover clock
(RCLK±) and data (RSER±) from the incoming differential
PECL data stream (RIN±) without the need for external
buffering. These built-in line receiver inputs, as well as the
TSER± inputs mentioned above, have a wide common-mode
range (2.5V) and the ability to receive signals with as little as
50 mV differential voltage. They are compatible with all PECL
signals and any copper media.
The clock recovery function is performed using an embedded
PLL. The recovered clock is not only passed to the RCLK±
outputs, but also used internally to sample the input serial
stream in order to recover the data pattern. The Receive PLL
uses the REFCLK input as a byte-rate reference. This input is
multiplied by 8 (REFCLK⋅8) and is used to improve PLL lock
time and to provide a center frequency for operation in the
absence of input data stream transitions. The receiver can
recover clock and data in two different frequency ranges
depending on the state of the three-level MODE pin as
explained earlier. To ensure accurate data and clock recovery,
REFCLK⋅8 must be within 1000 ppm of the transmit bit rate.
The standards, however, specify that the REFCLK⋅8 frequency
accuracy be within 20−100 ppm.
The differential input serial data (RIN±) is not only used by the
PLL to recover the clock and data, but it is also buffered and
presented as the PECL differential output pair ROUT±. This
output pair can be used as part of the transmission line
interface circuit for base line wander compensation, improving
system performance by providing reduced input jitter and
increased data eye opening.
LOOP TTL In Loop Back Select. This input is used to select the input data stream source that the Receive PLL
uses for clock and data recovery. When the LOOP input is HIGH, the Receive input data stream
(RIN±) is used for clock and data recovery. When LOOP is LOW, the Transmit input data stream
(TSER±) is used by the Receive PLL for clock and data recovery.
MODE 3-Level In Frequency Mode Select. This three-level input selects the frequency range for the clock and data
recovery Receive PLL and the frequency multiplier Transmit PLL. When this input is held HIGH the
two PLLs operate at the SONET (SDH) STS-3 (STM-1) line rate of 155.52 MHz. When this input is
held LOW the two PLLs operate at the SONET STS-1 line rate of 51.84 MHz. The REFCLK±
frequency in both operating modes is 1/8 the PLL operating frequency. When the MODE input is left
floating or held at V
CC
/2 the TSER± inputs substitute for the internal PLL VCO for use in factory
testing.
