FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
MULTIRATE CLOCK AND DATA RECOVERY
The ADN2807 recovers clock and data from serial bit streams at
OC-3, OC-12 data rates as well as the 15/14 FEC rates. The
output of the 2.5 GHz VCO is divided down in order to support
the lower data rates. The data rate is selected by the SEL[2..0]
inputs (Table 5).
Table 5. Data Rate Selection
SEL[1..0] Rate Frequency (MHz)
00 OC-12 622.08
01 OC-3 155.52
10 OC-12 FEC 666.51
11 OC-3 FEC 166.63
LIMITING AMPLIFIER
The limiting amplifier has differential inputs (PIN/NIN) that
are internally terminated with 50 Ω to an on-chip voltage
reference (VREF = 0.6 V typically). These inputs are normally
ac-coupled, although dc-coupling is possible as long as the
input common-mode voltage remains above 0.4 V (Figure 24 to
Figure 26 in the Applications Information section). Input offset
is factory trimmed to achieve better than 4 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 ASE (amplified spontaneous emission) noise by
applying a differential voltage input of ±0.8 V to SLICEP/N
inputs. If no adjustment of the slice level is needed, SLICEP/N
must be tied to VCC.
LOSS-OF-SIGNAL (LOS) DETECTOR
The receiver front end level signal detect circuit indicates when
the input signal level has fallen below a user adjustable threshold.
The threshold is set with a single external resistor from THRADJ
(Pin 1) to GND. The LOS comparator trip point versus the
resistor value is illustrated in Figure 4 (this is only valid for
SLICEP = SLICEN = VCC). If the input level to the ADN2807
drops below the programmed LOS threshold, SDOUT (Pin 45)
will indicate the loss-of-signal condition with a Logic 1. The
LOS response time is ~300 ns by design but will be dominated
by the RC time constant in ac-coupled applications. If the LOS
detector is used, the quantizer slice adjust pins must both be tied to
VCC. This is to avoid interaction with the LOS threshold level.
Note that it is not expected to use both LOS and slice adjust at
the same time. Systems with optical amplifiers need the slice
adjust to evade ASE. However, a loss-of-signal in an optical link
that uses optical amplifiers causes the optical amplifier output
to be full-scale noise. Under this condition, the LOS would not
detect the failure. In this case, the loss-of-lock signal indicates
the failure because the CDR circuitry is unable to lock onto a
signal that is full-scale noise.
REFERENCE CLOCK
There are three options for providing the reference frequency to
the ADN2807: differential clock, single-ended clock, or crystal
oscillator. See Figure 15 to Figure 17 for example
configurations.
