The fully integrated phase-locked loop (PLL) recovers a synchronous clock signal from the serial NRZ data input. The data is retimed by the recovered clock. Differential CML 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 TTL-compatible loss-of-lock (LOL) monitor. The MAX3876 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.

Functional Diagram Detailed Description The MAX3876 consists of a fully integrated phaselocked loop (PLL), input amplifier, data retiming block, and CML 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 DC-coupled differential input amplitudes from 50mVp-p up to 1000mVp-p. With AC-coupling, differential input signal amplitudes can be increased to a maximum of 1600mVp-p. The bit error rate is better than 1 · 10-10 for input signals as small as 10mVp-p, though the jitter tolerance performance will be degraded. For interfacing with PECL signal levels, see Applications Information. Phase Detector The phase detector incorporated in the MAX3876 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. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 5 MAX3876 Pin Description (continued) Frequency Detector HO(j2πf) (dB) OPEN-LOOP GAIN 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 the rising edge 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. CF = 1.0µF fZ = 2.6kHz CF = 0.1µF fZ = 26kHz 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. See 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 1.5psRMS within a jitter bandwidth of 12kHz to 20MHz. Loss-of-Lock Monitor A loss-of-lock (LOL) monitor is incorporated in the MAX3876 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. Note: The LOL monitor is valid only when a data stream is present on the inputs to the MAX3876. As a result, LOL does not detect a loss-of-power condition due to loss of the incoming signal. f (kHz) 1 100 10 1000 Figure 4.

Closed-Loop Transfer Function Design Procedure Setting the Loop Filter The MAX3876 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 1.5MHz. 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: fz = 6 1 2π 60 CF 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 is 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. ( ) _______________________________________________________________________________________ 2.5Gbps, Low-Power, +3.3V Clock Recovery and Data Retiming IC PECL Input Levels When interfacing with differential PECL input levels, it is important to attenuate the signal while still maintaining 50Ω termination (Figure 7). AC-coupling is also required to maintain the input common-mode level. Jitter Tolerance and Input Sensitivity Trade-Offs When the received data amplitude is higher than 50mVp-p, the MAX3876 provides a typical jitter tolerance of 0.51UI at jitter frequencies greater than 10MHz. The SDH/SONET jitter tolerance specification is 0.15UI, leaving a jitter allowance of 0.36UI for receiver preamplifier and postamplifier design. The BER is better than 1 · 10-10 for input signals greater than 10mVp-p. At this input level, 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. See the Typical Operating Characteristics for Jitter Tolerance and BER vs. Input Amplitude graphs. Jitter Tolerance vs. Pulse-Width Distortion The MAX3876 can typically tolerate up to 0.20UI of pulse-width distortion (PWD) and still exceed ITU and Bellcore specifications for sinusoidal jitter tolerance. Refer to the Typical Operating Characteristics for Jitter Tolerance and PWD vs. Jitter Frequency graphs. Layout The MAX3876’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. VCC 50Ω 50Ω SDO+ SDO- MAX3876 Figure 6. CML Outputs Applications Information Consecutive Identical Digits (CIDs) The MAX3876 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 2500 bits is typical. System Loopback The MAX3876 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 MAX3876 for system diagnostics. To select the SLBI± inputs, apply a TTL logic high to the SIS pin. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 MAX3876 Input and Output Terminations The MAX3876’s digital outputs (SDO+, SDO-, SCLKO+, SCLKO-) are internally terminated with 50Ω to V CC (Figure 6). See the DC Electrical Characteristics for signal swing and common-mode voltage levels. 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.
