At medium jitter frequencies, the gain and tuning range of the
VCO are not large enough to track input jitter. In this case, the
VCO control voltage becomes large and saturates, and the VCO
frequency dwells at one extreme of its tuning range or the other.
The size of the VCO tuning range, therefore, has only a small
effect on the jitter accommodation. The delay-locked loop
control voltage is now larger, so the phase shifter takes on the
burden of tracking the input jitter. The phase shifter range, in
UI, can be seen as a broad plateau on the jitter tolerance curve.
The phase shifter has a minimum range of 2 UI at all data rates.
The gain of the loop integrator is small for high jitter frequencies
so that larger phase differences are needed to make the loop
control voltage big enough to tune the range of the phase
shifter. Large phase errors at high jitter frequencies cannot be
tolerated. In this region, the gain of the integrator determines
the jitter accommodation. Because the gain of the loop integra-
tor declines linearly with frequency, jitter accommodation is
lower with higher jitter frequency. At the highest frequencies,
the loop gain is very small, and little tuning of the phase shifter
can be expected. In this case, jitter accommodation is determined
by the eye opening of the input data, the static phase error, and
the residual loop jitter generation. The jitter accommodation is
roughly 0.5 UI in this region. The corner frequency between the
declining slope and the flat region is the closed loop bandwidth
of the delay-locked loop, which is roughly 3 MHz at OC-48.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
FREQUENCY ACQUISITION
The ADN2812 acquires frequency from the data over a range of
data frequencies from 12.3 Mb/s to 2.7 Gb/s. The lock detector
circuit compares the frequency of the VCO and the frequency
of the incoming data. When these frequencies differ by more
than 1000 ppm, LOL is asserted. This initiates a frequency
acquisition cycle. The VCO frequency is reset to the bottom
of its range, which is 12.3 MHz. The frequency detector then
compares this VCO frequency and the incoming data frequency
and increments the VCO frequency, if necessary. Initially, the
VCO frequency is incremented in large steps to aid fast acquisi-
tion. As the VCO frequency approaches the data frequency, the
step size is reduced until the VCO frequency is within 250 ppm
of the data frequency, at which point LOL is deasserted.
Once LOL is deasserted, the frequency-locked loop is turned
off. The PLL/DLL pulls in the VCO frequency the rest of the
way until the VCO frequency equals the data frequency.
The frequency loop requires a single external capacitor between
CF2 and CF1 (Pin 14 and Pin 15). A 0.47 µF ± 20%, X7R ceramic
chip capacitor with <10 nA leakage current is recommended.
Leakage current of the capacitor can be calculated by dividing
the maximum voltage across the 0.47 µF capacitor, ~3 V, by the
insulation resistance of the capacitor. The insulation resistance
of the 0.47 µF capacitor should be greater than 300 MΩ.
LIMITING AMPLIFIER
The limiting amplifier has differential inputs (PIN/NIN), which
are internally terminated with 50 Ω to an on-chip voltage reference
(VREF = 2.5 V typically). The inputs are typically accoupled
externally, although dc coupling is possible as long as the input
common-mode voltage remains above 2.5 V (see Figure 28,
Figure 29, and Figure 30). Input offset is factory trimmed to
achieve better than 6 mV typical sensitivity with minimal drift.
The limiting amplifier can be driven differentially or single-
ended.
SLICE ADJUST
The quantizer slicing level can be offset by ±100 mV to mitigate
the effect of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise or
duty cycle distortion by applying a differential voltage input of
up to ±0.95 V to the SLICEP/SLICEN inputs. If no adjustment
of the slice level is needed, SLICEP/SLICEN should be tied to
VEE. The gain of the slice adjustment is ~0.1 V/V.
LOS DETECTOR
The receiver front-end LOS detector circuit detects when the
input signal level has fallen below a user-adjustable threshold.
The threshold is set with a single external resistor from Pin 9
(THRADJ) to VEE. The LOS comparator trip point-vs.-resistor
value is illustrated in Figure 5. If the input level to the ADN2812
drops below the programmed LOS threshold, the output of the
LOS detector, LOS (Pin 22), is asserted to a Logic 1. The LOS
detectors response time is ~500 ns by design but is dominated
by the RC time constant in ac-coupled applications. The LOS
pin defaults to active high. However, by setting Bit CTRLC[2]
to 1, the LOS pin is configured as active low.
Typically, 6 dB of electrical hysteresis is designed into the LOS
detector to prevent chatter on the LOS pin. This means that if
the input level drops below the programmed LOS threshold
causing the LOS pin to assert, the LOS pin is not deasserted
until the input level increases to 6 dB (2×) above the LOS
threshold (see Figure 19).

The LOS detector and the SLICE level adjust can be used simul-
taneously on the ADN2812. This means that any offset added to
the input signal by the SLICE adjust pins does not affect the
LOS detectors measurement of the absolute input level.
LOCK DETECTOR OPERATION
The lock detector on the ADN2812 has three modes of operation:
normal mode, REFCLK mode, and static LOL mode.
Normal Mode
In normal mode, the ADN2812 is a continuous rate CDR that
locks onto any data rate from 12.3 Mb/s to 2.7 Gb/s without the
use of a reference clock as an acquisition aid. In this mode, the
lock detector monitors the frequency difference between the
VCO and the input data frequency and deasserts the loss of
lock signal appearing on LOL (Pin 16) when the VCO is within
250 ppm of the data frequency. This enables the D/PLL, which
pulls the VCO frequency in the remaining amount and also
acquires phase lock. Once locked, if the input frequency error
exceeds 1000 ppm (0.1%), the loss of lock signal is reasserted
and control returns to the frequency loop, which begins a new
frequency acquisition starting at the lowest point in the VCO
operating range, 12.3 MHz. The LOL pin remains asserted until
the VCO locks onto a valid input data stream to within 250 ppm
frequency error. This hysteresis is shown in Figure 20.

LOL Detector Operation Using a Reference Clock
(REFCLK Mode)
In REFCLK mode, a reference clock is used as an acquisition
aid to lock the ADN2812 VCO. Lock to reference mode is
enabled by setting CTRLA[0] to 1. The user also needs to
write to the CTRLA[7:6] and CTRLA[5:2] bits in order to set
the reference frequency range and the divide ratio of the data
rate with respect to the reference frequency. For more details,
see the Reference Clock (Optional) section. In this mode, the
lock detector monitors the difference in frequency between
the divided down VCO and the divided down reference clock.
The loss of lock signal, which appears on LOL (Pin 16), is deas-
serted when the VCO is within 250 ppm of the desired frequency.
This enables the D/PLL, which pulls the VCO frequency in the
remaining amount with respect to the input data and also acquires
phase lock. Once locked, if the input frequency error exceeds
1000 ppm (0.1%), the loss of lock signal is reasserted and
control returns to the frequency loop, which reacquires with
respect to the reference clock. The LOL pin remains asserted
until the VCO frequency is within 250 ppm of the desired
frequency. This hysteresis is shown in Figure 20.
Static LOL Mode
The ADN2812 implements a static LOL feature, which indicates
if a loss of lock condition has ever occurred and remains asserted,
even if the ADN2812 regains lock, until the static LOL bit is manu-
ally reset. The I
2
C register bit, MISC[4], is the static LOL bit. If
there is ever an occurrence of a loss of lock condition, this bit is
internally asserted to logic high. The MISC[4] bit remains high
even after the ADN2812 has reacquired lock to a new data rate.
This bit can be reset by writing a 1 followed by 0 to I
2
C Register
Bit CTRLB[6]. Once reset, the MISC[4] bit remains deasserted
until another loss of lock condition occurs.
Writing a 1 to I
2
C Register Bit CTRLB[7] causes the LOL pin
(Pin 16) to become a static LOL indicator. In this mode, the
LOL pin mirrors the contents of the MISC[4] bit and has the
functionality described in the previous paragraph. The CTRLB[7]
bit defaults to 0. In this mode, the LOL pin operates in the normal
operating mode, that is, it is asserted only when the ADN2812
is in acquisition mode and deasserts when the ADN2812 has
reacquired lock.
HARMONIC DETECTOR
The ADN2812 provides a harmonic detector, which detects
whether the input data has changed to a lower harmonic of the
data rate onto which the VCO is currently locked. For example,
if the input data instantaneously changes from OC-48, 2.488 Gb/s,
to an OC-12, 622.080 Mb/s bit stream, this could be perceived
as a valid OC-48 bit stream because the OC-12 data pattern is
exactly 4× slower than the OC-48 pattern. So, if the change in
data rate is instantaneous, a 101 pattern at OC-12 would be per-
ceived by the ADN2812 as a 111100001111 pattern at OC-48. If
the change to a lower harmonic is instantaneous, a typical CDR
could remain locked at the higher data rate.
The ADN2812 implements a harmonic detector that automati-
cally identifies whether the input data has switched to a lower
harmonic of the data rate onto which the VCO is currently
locked. When a harmonic is identified, the LOL pin is asserted
and a new frequency acquisition is initiated. The ADN2812
automatically locks onto the new data rate, and the LOL pin
is deasserted.
However, the harmonic detector does not detect higher har-
monics of the data rate. If the input data rate switches to a
higher harmonic of the data rate that the VCO is currently
locked onto, the VCO loses lock, the LOL pin is asserted,
and a new frequency acquisition is initiated. The ADN2812
automatically locks onto the new data rate.
The time to detect lock to harmonic is
16,384 × (T
d
/ρ)
where:
1/T
d
is the new data rate. For example, if the data rate is
switched from OC-48 to OC-12, then T
d
= 1/622 MHz.
ρ is the data transition density. Most coding schemes seek
to ensure that ρ = 0.5, for example, PRBS, 8B/10B.
When the ADN2812 is placed in lock to reference mode,
the harmonic detector is disabled.
SQUELCH MODE
Two squelch modes are available with the ADN2812.
Squelch DATAOUT and CLKOUT mode is selected
when CTRLC[1] = 0 (default mode). In this mode, when
the squelch input (Pin 27) is driven to a TTL high state,
both the clock and data outputs are set to the zero state to
suppress downstream processing. If the squelch function
is not required, Pin 27 should be tied to VEE.
Squelch DATAOUT or CLKOUT mode is selected when
CTRLC[1] is 1. In this mode, when the squelch input is
driven to a high state, the DATAOUT pins are squelched.
When the squelch input is driven to a low state, the CLKOUT
pins are squelched. This is especially useful in repeater appli-
cations, where the recovered clock may not be needed.
