Clock Recovery and Data Retiming IC
Features
The MAX3875 is a compact, low-power clock recovery
and data retiming IC for 2.488Gbps SDH/SONET applications. The fully integrated phase-locked loop recovers a synchronous clock signal from the serial NRZ
data input, which is retimed by the recovered clock.
Differential PECL-compatible outputs are provided for
both clock and data signals, and an additional
2.488Gbps serial input is available for system loopback
diagnostic testing. The device also includes a TTLcompatible loss-of-lock (LOL) monitor.
The MAX3875 is designed for both section-regenerator
and terminal-receiver applications in OC-48/STM-16
transmission systems. Its jitter performance exceeds all
of the SONET/SDH specifications.

Figure 3. Functional Diagram
Detailed Description
The MAX3875 consists of a fully integrated phaselocked loop (PLL), input amplifier, data retiming block,
and PECL output buffer (Figure 3). The PLL consists of
a phase/frequency detector (PFD), a loop filter, and a
voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO).
This device is designed to deliver the best combination
of jitter performance and power dissipation by using a
fully differential signal architecture and low-noise
design techniques.
Input Amplifier
Input amplifiers are implemented for both the main data
and system loopback inputs. These amplifiers accept a
differential input amplitude from 50mVp-p up to
800mVp-p. The bit error rate is better than 1 · 10-10 for
input signals as small as 10mVp-p, although the jitter
tolerance performance will be degraded. For interfacing
with PECL signal levels, see Applications Information.
Phase Detector
The phase detector incorporated in the MAX3875 produces a voltage proportional to the phase difference
between the incoming data and the internal clock.
Because of its feedback nature, the PLL drives the
error voltage to zero, aligning the recovered clock to
the center of the incoming data eye for retiming. The
external phase adjust pins (PHADJ+, PHADJ-) allow the
user to vary the internal phase alignment.

Pin Description (continued)
Frequency Detector
The digital frequency detector (FD) aids frequency
acquisition during start-up conditions. The frequency
difference between the received data and the VCO
clock is derived by sampling the in-phase and quadrature VCO outputs on both edges of the data input signal. Depending on the polarity of the frequency
difference, the FD drives the VCO until the frequency
difference is reduced to zero. Once frequency acquisition is complete, the FD returns to a neutral state. False
locking is completely eliminated by this digital frequency detector.

Loop Filter and VCO
The phase detector and frequency detector outputs are
summed into the loop filter. An external capacitor, CF,
is required to set the PLL damping ratio. Refer to
Design Procedure for guidelines on selecting this
capacitor.
The loop filter output controls the on-chip LC VCO running at 2.488GHz. The VCO provides low phase noise
and is trimmed to the correct frequency. Clock jitter
generation is typically 1.2psRMS within a jitter bandwidth of 12kHz to 20MHz.

Note that the LOL monitor is only valid when a data
stream is present on the inputs to the MAX3875. As a
result, LOL does not detect a loss-of-power condition
resulting from a loss of the incoming signal.
Design Procedure
Setting the Loop Filter
The MAX3875 is designed for both regenerator and
receiver applications. Its fully integrated PLL is a classic second-order feedback system, with a loop bandwidth (fL) fixed at 1.1MHz. The external capacitor, CF,
can be adjusted to set the loop damping. Figures 4 and
5 show the open-loop and closed-loop transfer functions.
The PLL zero frequency, fZ, is a function of external
capacitor CF, and can be approximated according to:

Loss-of-Lock Monitor
A loss-of-lock (LOL) monitor is incorporated in the
MAX3875 frequency detector. A loss-of-lock condition
is signaled immediately with a TTL low. When the PLL is
frequency locked, LOL switches to TTL high in approximately 800ns.

Figure 5. Closed-Loop Transfer Function
For an overdamped system (fZ/fL) < 0.25, the jitter peaking (MP) of a second-order system can be approximated by:
 f 
MP = 20log 1+ Z 
 fL 
For example, using CF = 0.1µF results in a jitter peaking
of 0.2dB. Reducing CF below 0.01µF may result in PLL
instability. The recommended value for CF = 1.0µF to
guarantee a maximum jitter peaking of less than 0.1dB.
CF must be a low TC, high-quality capacitor of type
X7R or better.

System Loopback
The MAX3875 is designed to allow system loopback
testing. The user can connect a serializer output in a
transceiver directly to the SLBI+ and SLBI- inputs of the
MAX3875 for system diagnostics. To select the SLBI±
inputs, apply a TTL logic high to the SIS pin.
Jitter Tolerance and Input
Sensitivity Trade-Offs
When the received data amplitude is higher than
50mVp-p, the MAX3875 provides a typical jitter tolerance of 0.45UI at jitter frequencies greater than 10MHz.
The SDH/SONET jitter tolerance specification is 0.15UI,
leaving a jitter allowance of 0.3UI for receiver preamplifier and postamplifier design.
The BER is better than 1 · 10-10 for input signals greater
than 10mVp-p. At 10mVp-p, jitter tolerance will be
degraded, but will still be above the SDH/SONET
requirement. The user can make a trade-off between jitter tolerance and input sensitivity according to the specific application. Refer to the Typical Operating
Characteristics for Jitter Tolerance and BER vs. Input
Amplitude graphs.
PECL Input Levels
When interfacing with differential PECL input levels, it is
important to attenuate the signal while still maintaining
50Ω termination (Figure 6). AC coupling is also
required to maintain the input common-mode level.
Layout
The MAX3875’s performance can be significantly
affected by circuit board layout and design. Use good
high-frequency design techniques, including minimizing ground inductance and using fixed-impedance
transmission lines on the data and clock signals.
Power-supply decoupling should be placed as close to
VCC as possible. Take care to isolate the input from the
output signals to reduce feedthrough.

50Ω
Consecutive Identical Digits (CID)
The MAX3875 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 · 10-10. The CID tolerance is
tested using a 213 - 1 PRBS, substituting a long run of
zeros to simulate the worst case. A CID tolerance of
2000 bits is typical.

The internal clock is aligned to the center of the data
eye. For specific applications this sampling position
can be shifted using the PHADJ inputs to optimize BER
performance. The PHADJ inputs operate with differential input voltages up to ±1.5V. A simple resistor-divider
with a bypass capacitor is sufficient to set these levels.
When the PHADJ inputs are not used, they should be
tied directly to VCC.

Input and Output Terminations
The MAX3875’s digital outputs (SDO+, SDO-, SCLKO+,
SCLKO-) are designed to interface with PECL signal
levels. It is important to bias these ports appropriately.
A circuit that provides a Thevenin equivalent of 50Ω to
VCC - 2V can be used with fixed impedance transmission lines for proper termination. To ensure best performance, the differential outputs must have balanced
loads. The input termination can be driven differentially,
or can be driven single-ended by externally biasing
SDI- or SLBI- to the center of the voltage swing.
