MAXIM MAX9209ETM

19-2828; Rev 2; 2/04
Programmable DC-Balanced
21-Bit Serializers
Features
The MAX9209/MAX9211/MAX9213/MAX9215 serialize
21 bits of LVTTL/LVCMOS parallel input data to three
LVDS outputs. A parallel rate clock on a fourth LVDS
output provides timing for deserialization.
The MAX9209/MAX9211/MAX9213/MAX9215 feature
programmable DC balance, which allows isolation
between the serializer and deserializer using AC-coupling. The DC balance circuits on each channel code
the data, limiting the imbalance of transmitted ones and
zeros to a defined range. The companion MAX9210/
MAX9212/MAX9214/MAX9216 deserializers decode the
data. When DC balance is not programmed, the serializers are compatible with non-DC-balanced, 21-bit serializers like the DS90CR215 and DS90CR217.
♦ Programmable DC-Balanced or Non-DC-Balanced
Operation
♦ DC Balance Allows AC-Coupling for Ground-Shift
Tolerance
♦ As Low as 8MHz Operation
Two frequency ranges and two DC-balance default
conditions are available for maximum replacement flexibility and compatibility with existing non-DC-balanced
serializers.
The MAX9209/MAX9211/MAX9213/MAX9215 are available in TSSOP and space-saving thin QFN packages,
and operate from a single +3.3V supply over the -40°C
to +85°C temperature range.
Applications

10MHz to 40MHz in non-DC-balanced mode. The
MAX9213/MAX9215 operate at a parallel clock frequency of 16MHz to 66MHz in DC-balanced mode and
20MHz to 85MHz in non-DC-balanced mode.
DC-balanced or non-DC-balanced operation is controlled by the DCB/NC pin (see Table 1). In non-DCbalanced mode, each channel serializes 7 bits every
cycle of the parallel clock. In DC-balanced mode, 9 bits
are serialized every clock cycle (7 data bits + 2 DC-balance bits). The highest data rate in DC-balanced mode
for the MAX9213 or MAX9215 is 66MHz x 9 =
594Mbps. In non-DC-balanced mode, the maximum
data rate is 85MHz x 7 = 595Mbps. A bit time is 1 divided by the data rate, for example, 1/595Mbps = 1.68ns.
DC Balance
Through data coding, the DC-balance circuits limit the
imbalance of ones and zeros transmitted on each channel. If +1 is assigned to each binary one transmitted
and -1 is assigned to each binary zero transmitted, the

To obtain DC balance on the data channels, the parallel
input data is inverted or not inverted, depending on the
sign of the digital sum at the word boundary. Two complementary bits are appended to each group of 7 parallel input data bits to indicate to the MAX9210/MAX9212/

Figure 14. Two Capacitors per Link, AC-Coupled, DC-Balanced Mode
Common-mode voltage differences may be due to
ground potential variation or common-mode noise. If
there is more than ±1V of difference, the receiver is not
guaranteed to read the input signal correctly and may
cause bit errors. AC-coupling filters low-frequency
ground shifts and common-mode noise and passes
high-frequency data. A common-mode voltage difference up to the voltage rating of the coupling capacitor
(minus half the differential swing) is tolerated. DC-balanced coding of the data is required to maintain the differential signal amplitude and limit jitter on an
AC-coupled link. A capacitor in series with each output
of the LVDS driver is sufficient for AC-coupling. However,
two capacitors—one at the serializer output and one at
the deserializer input—provide protection in case either
end of the cable is shorted to a high voltage.
5V Tolerant Inputs
All signal and control inputs except DCB/NC are 5V tolerant and are internally pulled down to GND. The
DCB/NC pin has a pulldown on MAX9211/MAX9215
and a pullup on the MAX9209/MAX9213.
DCB/NC Pin Default Conditions
The MAX9209/MAX9211/MAX9213/MAX9215 have programmable DC balance/non-DC balance. See Table 1
for DCB/NC default settings and operating modes.

Figure 15. Four Capacitors per Link, AC-Coupled, DC-Balanced Mode
Applications Information
Selection of AC-Coupling Capacitors
Voltage droop and the DSV of transmitted symbols
cause signal transitions to start from different voltage
levels. Because the transition time is finite, starting the
signal transition from different voltage levels causes
timing jitter. The time constant for an AC-coupled link
needs to be chosen to reduce droop and jitter to an
acceptable level.
The RC network for an AC-coupled link consists of the
LVDS receiver termination resistor (RT), the LVDS driver
output resistor (RO), and the series AC-coupling capacitors (C). The RC time constant for two equal-value
series capacitors is (C x (RT + RO))/2 (Figure 14). The
RC time constant for four equal-value series capacitors
is (C x (RT + RO))/4 (Figure 15).
14
RT is required to match the transmission line impedance (usually 100Ω) and RO is determined by the LVDS
driver design, with a minimum value of 78Ω (see the DC
Electrical Characteristics table). This leaves the capacitor selection to change the system time constant.
In the following example, the capacitor value for a
droop of 2% is calculated. Jitter due to this droop is
then calculated assuming a 1ns transition time:
C = -(2 x tB x DSV) / (ln (1 - D) x (RT + RO)) (Eq 1)
where:
C = AC-coupling capacitor (F)
tB = bit time (s)
DSV = digital sum variation (integer)
ln = natural log
D = droop (% of signal amplitude)
RT = termination resistor (Ω)
______________________________________________________________________________________
Programmable DC-Balanced
21-Bit Serializers
The capacitor for 2% maximum droop at 8MHz parallel
rate clock is:
C = -(2 x tB x DSV) / (ln (1 - D) x (RT + RO))
C = -(2 x 13.9ns x 10) / (ln (1 - .02) x (100Ω + 78Ω))
C = 0.0773µF
Jitter due to droop is proportional to the droop and
transition time:
tJ = tT x D (Eq 2)
where:
tJ = jitter (s)
tT = transition time (s) (0% to 100%)
D = droop (% of signal amplitude)
Jitter due to 2% droop and assumed 1ns transition time is:
tJ = 1ns x 0.02
tJ = 20ps
The transition time in a real system depends on the frequency response of the cable driven by the serializer.
The capacitor value decreases for a higher frequency
parallel clock and for higher levels of droop and jitter.
Use high-frequency, surface-mount ceramic capacitors.
Equation 1 altered for four series capacitors (Figure 15) is:
C = -(4 x tB x DSV) / (ln (1 - D) x (RT + RO)) (Eq 3)
Integrated Termination
The MAX9209/MAX9211/MAX9213/MAX9215 have an
integrated output termination resistor across each of
the four LVDS outputs. These resistors damp reflections
from induced noise and mismatches between the transmission line impedance and termination resistor at the
deserializer input. In DC-balanced mode, the differential output resistance is part of the RC time constant. In
non-DC-balanced mode, the output termination is
increased to 410Ω (typ) to reduce power. In powerdown mode (PWRDWN = low) or when the power supply is off, the output resistor is switched out and the
LVDS outputs are high impedance.
lock to the input clock and switches in the output termination resistors. The LVDS outputs are not driven until
the PLL locks. The differential output resistance pulls
the outputs together and the LVDS outputs are high
impedance to ground. If the power supply is turned off,
the output resistors are switched out and the LVDS outputs are high impedance.
PLL Lock Time
The PLL lock time is set by an internal counter. The maximum time to lock is 32,800 clock periods. Power and
clock should be stable to meet the lock-time specification. When the PLL is locking, the LVDS outputs are not
active and have a differential output resistance of RO.
Power-Supply Bypassing
There are separate power domains for LVDS, PLL, and
digital circuits. Bypass each LVDS VCC, PLL VCC, and
VCC pin with high-frequency surface-mount ceramic
0.1µF and 0.001µF capacitors in parallel as close to the
device as possible, with the smallest value capacitor
closest to the supply pin.
LVDS Outputs
The LVDS outputs are current sources. The voltage
swing is proportional to the load impedance. The outputs are rated for a differential load of 100Ω ±1%.
Cables and Connectors
Interconnect for LVDS typically has a differential impedance of 100Ω. Use cables and connectors that have
matched differential impedance to minimize impedance
discontinuities.
Twisted-pair and shielded twisted-pair cables offer
superior signal quality compared to ribbon cable and
tend to generate less EMI due to magnetic field canceling effects. Balanced cables pick up noise as common
mode, which is rejected by the LVDS receiver.
Board Layout
Keep the LVTTL/LVCMOS input and LVDS output signals separated to prevent crosstalk. A four-layer PC
board with separate layers for power, ground, LVDS
outputs, and digital signals is recommended.
PWRDWN and Power-Off
Driving PWRDWN low stops the PLL, switches out the
integrated output termination resistors, puts the LVDS
outputs in high impedance, and reduces supply current
to 50µA or less. Driving PWRDWN high starts the PLL
