MAXIM MAX3991

19-3486; Rev 0; 11/04
10Gbps Clock and Data Recovery
with Limiting Amplifier
The MAX3991 is a 10Gbps clock and data recovery
(CDR) with limiting amplifier IC for XFP optical receivers.
The MAX3991 and the MAX3992 (CDR with equalizer)
form a signal conditioner chipset for use in XFP transceiver modules. The chipset is XFI compliant and offers
multirate operation for data rates from 9.95Gbps to
11.1Gbps.
The MAX3991 has 7mVP-P input sensitivity (BER ≤ 10-12),
which allows direct connection to a transimpedance
amplifier without the use of a stand-alone limiting amplifier. The phase-locked loop (PLL) is optimized for jitter tolerance and provides 0.6UI of high-frequency tolerance
in SONET, Ethernet, and Fibre-Channel applications. The
MAX3991 output provides 27% margin to the XFP eye
mask specification.
An AC-based power detector toggles the loss-of-signal
(LOS) output when the input signal swing is below the
user-programmed assert threshold. An external reference clock, with frequency equal to 1/64 or 1/16 of the
serial data rate is used to aid in frequency acquisition. A
loss-of-lock (LOL) indicator is provided to indicate the
lock status of the receiver PLL.
The MAX3991 is available in a 4mm x 4mm, 24-pin QFN
package. It consumes 350mW from a single +3.3V supply
and operates over the 0°C to +85°C temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX3991 clock and data recovery with limiting
amplifier restores data to XFI specifications. It consists of
a limiting amplifier with LOS power detector, and a PLL
data retimer with LOL indicator. An optional recovered
clock may also be enabled for performance testing.
8
Limiting Amplifier
The SDI inputs of the MAX3991 accept serial NRZ data
from the optical receiver assembly. The limiting amplifier
accepts signals as small as 7mVP-P and amplifies them
to allow recovery by the CDR. The limiting amplifier uses
an offset cancellation circuit to compensate for device
mismatch within the gain stages. The low-frequency cutoff of the offset cancellation loop is typically 30kHz.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
10Gbps Clock and Data Recovery
with Limiting Amplifier
Reference Clock Input
The REFCLK inputs are internally terminated and selfbiased to allow AC-coupling. The input impedance is
100Ω single-ended (200Ω differential). The REFCLK
inputs of the MAX3991 and MAX3992 should be connected close together in parallel. The impedance looking into the parallel combination is 100Ω differential.
This allows both the MAX3991 and MAX3992 to easily
interface with one reference clock without using additional components. See Figure 5.
Loss-of-Lock Monitor
Design Procedure
The LOL output indicates that the frequency difference
between the recovered clock and the reference clock is
excessive. LOL may assert due to excessive jitter at the
data input, incorrect frequency, or loss of input data.
The LOL detector monitors the frequency difference
between the recovered clock and the reference clock.
The LOL output is asserted high when the frequency
difference exceeds 650ppm.
Loss-of-Signal Monitor
The LOS output indicates low, receive-signal power.
The LOS output is asserted high when the input signal
is below the threshold set by VTH.
VTH = 10 x VLOS_ASSERT(mVP-P) (typ)
The hysteresis value of the LOS detector is internally
fixed at 1.5. Hysteresis values above 1.5 can be
achieved using external resistors as shown in Figure 4.
The new hysteresis value is:
Hysteresis = 1.5 ×
3 × R1 + VREF × R2
0.2 × R1 + VREF × R2
Resistor R2 is selected to prevent loading of the LOS
pin. A value of >40kΩ is recommended. Refer to applications note HFDN 34-0.

Modes of Operation
The MAX3991 has a standby mode, jitter test mode,
and squelch mode in addition to its normal operating
mode. Standby is used to conserve power. In the
standby mode, the power consumption of the MAX3991
falls below 40% of the normal-operation power consumption. The jitter test mode enables the SCLK outputs to clock a BERT when testing jitter generation,
jitter transfer, and jitter tolerance. In the squelch mode,
the SDO± outputs are held static at VCC. The FCTL1
and FCTL2 TTL inputs are used to select the mode of
operation as shown in Table 3.
Serial Data Rate and
Reference Clock Frequency
Input Configuration
The SDI± inputs of the MAX3991 are current-mode
logic (CML) compatible. The inputs have internal 50Ω
terminations for minimum external components. See
Figure 6 for the input structure. AC-coupling is recommended. The common-mode levels of DC-coupled
parts must be matched. For additional information on
logic interfacing, refer to Maxim Application Note HFAN
1.0: Introduction to LVDS, PECL, and CML.
Output Configuration
The MAX3991 uses CML for its high-speed digital outputs (SDO± and SCLKO±). The configuration of the output circuit includes internal 50Ω back terminations to
VCC. See Figure 7 for the output structure. CML outputs
may be terminated by 50Ω to VCC, or by 100Ω differential impedance. The relation of the output polarity to input
can be reversed using the POL pin (see Figure 8).
For additional information on logic interfacing, refer to
Maxim Application Note HFAN 1.0: Introduction to LVDS,
PECL, and CML.

PLL Retimer
The integrated PLL recovers a synchronous clock,
which is used to retime the input data. Connect a
0.047µF capacitor between CFIL and VCC to provide
PLL dampening. The external reference connected to
REFCLK aids in frequency acquisition. Because the reference clock is only used for frequency acquisition, a
low-quality reference clock can be used with no penalty
in performance. The reference clock should be within
±100ppm of the bit rate divided by 16 or 64.

Applications Information
Exposed Pad (EP) Package
The exposed pad, 24-pin QFN incorporates features
that provide a very low thermal-resistance path for heat
removal from the IC. The pad is electrical ground on the
MAX3991 and must be soldered to the circuit board for
proper thermal and electrical performance.

Layout Considerations
For best performance, use good high-frequency layout
techniques. Filter voltage supplies, keep ground connections short, and use multiple vias where possible.
Use controlled-impedance transmission lines to interface with the MAX3991 high-speed inputs and outputs.
Power-supply decoupling should be placed as close to
VCC as possible. To reduce feedthrough, take care to
isolate the input signals from the output signals.
