♦ Differential Input Range: 100mVP-P to 1.2VP-P
The MAX3953 includes TTL-compatible loss-of-lock
(LOL) and sync-error (SYNC_ERR) indicators that allow
the user to verify that the part has locked on to incoming
data. In case the incoming data becomes invalid, a
clock holdover function is provided to maintain a valid
reference clock to the upstream device. For proper
operation, a reference clock of baud rate/64 or baud
rate/16 is required.

♦ 10mm ✕ 10mm 68-Pin QFN Package
The MAX3953 operates from a single +3.3V power supply and typically dissipates 1.5W. The operating temperature range is from 0°C to +85°C. The MAX3953 is
available in a 68-pin QFN package.

MAX3953
General Description
The MAX3953 is a 9.953Gbps/10.3125Gbps 1:16 deserializer with clock recovery for 10Gbps Ethernet and
OC192 SONET applications. The integrated phaselocked loop (PLL) recovers a clock from the serial data
input, and the data is then retimed and demultiplexed
into 16 parallel LVDS outputs. Using Maxim’s SiGe
bipolar process, the MAX3953 can achieve 0.75UI of
high-frequency jitter tolerance comprised of 0.50UI of
deterministic jitter and 0.25UI of random jitter.

MAX3953
Pin Description
MAX3953
10Gbps 1:16 Deserializer with Clock Recovery
Detailed Description
The MAX3953 deserializer with clock recovery converts
9.953Gbps/10.3125Gbps serial data into 16-bit wide,
622Mbps/644Mbps parallel data. The device combines a
fully integrated phase-locked loop (PLL), TTL-compatible
status monitors, input amplifier, data retiming block,
16-bit demultiplexer, clock dividers, and LVDS output
buffers. The PLL consists of a phase/frequency detector (PFD), a loop filter, and voltage-controlled oscillator
(VCO). The PLL recovers the serial clock from the input
data stream and retimes the data. The demultiplexer
generates a 16-bit-wide 622Mbps/644Mbps parallel
data output. The MAX3953 is designed to deliver the
best jitter performance by using differential signal
architecture and low-noise design techniques.
Input Amplifier
The serial data input (SDI) amplifier accepts differential
input amplitudes from 100mVP-P to 1200mVP-P.
Phase-Frequency Detector
The digital phase-frequency detector (PFD) aids frequency acquisition during startup conditions. Depending on
the polarity of the frequency input difference between
REFCLK and the VCO clock, the PFD drives the VCO until
the frequency difference is reduced to zero. False locking
is eliminated by this digital phase-frequency detector.
The data phase detector is optimized to achieve 0.75UI
high-frequency jitter tolerance.
Loop Filter and VCO
The phase detector and frequency detector outputs are
summed into the loop filter. A 0.047µF capacitor (CF) is
required to set the PLL damping ratio. The loop filter
output controls the on-chip VCO.
Loss-of-Lock Monitor
A loss-of-lock (LOL) monitor is included in the MAX3953
frequency detector. A loss-of-lock condition is signaled
with a TTL low. When the PLL is frequency locked, LOL
switches to TTL high in approximately 56µs.
LOL signals a TTL low when the VCO frequency is
more than 1000ppm from the reference clock frequency. LOL signals a TTL high when the VCO frequency is
within 500ppm of the reference clock frequency.
Applications Information
Clock Holdover Mode
The clock holdover mode is designed to provide an
accurate parallel clock in the event of a loss-of-lock
(LOL) or loss-of-signal (LOS) condition. The activation of
the holdover mode is controlled by the SYNC_ERR,
LOS_IN, and CLKSEL pins. CLKSEL is an input signal
used to select the VCO to lock on to the incoming data
(SDI) or the reference clock (REFCLK). The architecture
of the holdover mode is shown in Figure 4. Holdover
mode is activated by connecting SYNC_ERR to CLKSEL.
Consecutive Identical Digits (CIDs)
The MAX3953 has a low phase and frequency drift in the
absence of data transitions. As a result, long runs of consecutive zeros and ones can be tolerated while maintaining a BER of 1 ✕ 10-12. The CID tolerance is tested using
a 213 - 1 pseudorandom bit stream (PRBS), substituting a
long run of zeros to simulate worst case. A CID tolerance
of greater than 2,000 bits is typical.
Exposed-Pad Package
The exposed pad, 68-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 MAX3953 and should be soldered to the circuit
board for proper thermal and electrical performance.
See Maxim Application Note HFAN-08.1: Thermal
Considerations of QFN and Other Exposed-Paddle
Packages for further information.
Layout Techniques
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 MAX3953 high-speed inputs and outputs.
Power-supply decoupling should be placed as close to
the VCC as possible. To reduce feed-through, isolate
input signals from output signals.
Low-Voltage Differential Signal (LVDS)
Outputs
The MAX3953 features LVDS outputs for interfacing with
high-speed circuitry. The LVDS standard is based on the
IEEE 1596.3 LVDS specification. This technology uses
500mVP-P to 800mVP-P differential low-voltage swings to
achieve fast transition times, minimize power dissipation,
and improve noise immunity.
