The CYP15G0401DXA Quad HOTLink II™ Transceiver is a
point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communications building
block allowing the transfer of data over high-speed serial links
(optical fiber, balanced, and unbalanced copper transmission
lines) at signaling speeds ranging from 200-to-1500 MBaud
per serial link. The multiple channels in each device may be
combined to allow transport of wide buses across significant
distances with minimal concern for offsets in clock phase or
link delay.
Each transmit channel accepts parallel characters in an Input
Register, encodes each character for transport, and converts
it to serial data. Each receive channel accepts serial data and
converts it to parallel data, decodes the data into characters,
and presents these characters to an output register. Figure 1
illustrates typical connections between independent host systems and corresponding CYP15G0401DXA parts. As a second-generation HOTLink device, the CYP15G0401DXA extends the HOTLink family with enhanced levels of integration
and faster data rates, while maintaining serial-link compatibility
(data, command, and BIST) with other HOTLink devices.

PRELIMINARY
The transmit section of the CYP15G0401DXA Quad HOTLink
II consists of four byte-wide channels that can be operated
independently or bonded to form wider buses. Each channel
can accept either 8-bit data characters or pre-encoded 10-bit
transmission characters. Data characters are passed from the
Transmit Input Register to an embedded 8B/10B Encoder to
improve their serial transmission characteristics. These encoded characters are then serialized and output from dual
Positive ECL (PECL) compatible differential transmission-line
drivers at a bit-rate of either 10- or 20-times the input reference
clock.
The receive section of the CYP15G0401DXA Quad HOTLink
II consists of four byte-wide channels that can be operated
independently or synchronously bonded for greater bandwidth. Each channel accepts a serial bit-stream from one of
two PECL-compatible differential line receivers and, using a
completely integrated PLL Clock Synchronizer, recovers the
timing information necessary for data reconstruction. Each recovered bit-stream is deserialized and framed into characters,
8B/10B decoded, and checked for transmission errors. Recovered decoded characters are then written to an internal Elasticity Buffer, and presented to the destination host system. The
integrated 8B/10B encoder/decoder may be bypassed for systems that present externally encoded or scrambled data at the
parallel interface.
CYP15G0401DXA
For those systems using buses wider than a single byte, the
four independent receive paths can be bonded together to allow synchronous delivery of data across a two-byte-wide (16bit) path, or across all four bytes (32-bit). Multiple
CYP15G0401DXA devices may be bonded together to provide
synchronous transport of buses wider than 32 bits.
The parallel I/O interface may be configured for numerous
forms of clocking to provide the highest flexibility in system
architecture. In additional to clocking the transmit path interfaces from one or multiple sources, the receive interface may
be configured to present data relative to a recovered clock
(output) or to a local reference clock (input).
Each transmit and receive channel contains independent
Built-In Self-Test (BIST) pattern generators and checkers. This
BIST hardware allows at-speed testing of the high-speed serial data paths in each transmit and receive section, and
across the interconnecting links.
HOTLink-II devices are ideal for a variety of applications where
parallel interfaces can be replaced with high-speed, point-topoint serial links. Some applications include interconnecting
workstations, backplanes, servers, mass storage, and video
transmission equipment.

LVTTL Output,

Transmit Path Parity Error. Active HIGH. Asserted (HIGH) if parity checking is enabled
and a parity error is detected at the encoder. This output is HIGH for one transmit
character clock period to indicate detection of a parity error in the character presented
to the encoder.
If a parity error is detected, the character in error is replaced with a C0.7 character to
force a corresponding bad-character detection at the remote end of the link. This replacement takes place regardless of the encoded/non-encoded state of the interface.
When BIST is enabled for the specific transmit channel, BIST progress is presented on
these outputs. Once every 511 character times (plus a 16-character Word Sync Sequence when the receive channels are clocked by a common clock), the associated
TXPERx signal will pulse HIGH for one transmit-character clock period to indicate a
complete pass through the BIST sequence.
These outputs also provide indication of a transmit Phase-Align Buffer underflow or
overflow. When the transmit Phase-Align Buffers are enabled (TXCKSEL ≠ LOW, or
TXCKSEL = LOW and TXRATE = HIGH), if an underflow or overflow condition is detected, TXPERx for the channel in error is asserted and remains asserted until either an
atomic Word Sync Sequence is transmitted or TXRST is sampled LOW to re-center the
transmit Phase-Align Buffers.

TXCLKA↑ or

Signal Description
Transmit Clock Phase Reset, active LOW. When LOW, the transmit Phase-Align Buffers
are allowed to adjust their data-transfer timing (relative to the selected input clock) to
allow clean transfer of data from the input register to the encoder or transmit shift register. When TXRST is deasserted (HIGH), the internal phase relationship between the
associated TXCLKx and the internal character-rate clock is fixed and the device operates normally.
When configured for half-rate REFCLK sampling of the transmit character stream (TXCKSEL = LOW and TXRATE = HIGH), assertion of TXRST is only used to clear phase
align buffer faults caused by highly asymmetric REFCLK periods or REFCLKs with
excessive cycle-to-cycle jitter.
During this alignment period, one or more characters may be added to or lost from all
the associated transmit paths as the transmit Phase-Align Buffers are adjusted.
TXRST must be sampled LOW by a minimum of two consecutive rising edges of TXCLKA (or one REFCLK↑) to ensure the reset operation is initiated correctly on all channels.
This input is not interpreted when both TXCKSEL and TXRATE are LOW.
SCSEL
LVTTL Input,
synchronous,
internal pull-down,
sampled by
TXCLKA↑
or REFCLK↑ [1]
Special Character Select. Used in some transmit modes along with TXCTx[1:0] to encode special characters or to initiate a Word Sync Sequence. When the transmit paths
are configured for independent inputs clocks (TXCKSEL = MID), SCSEL is captured
relative to TXCLKA↑.
Transmit Path Clock and Clock Control
TXCKSEL
3-Level Select [2]
Static Control Input
Transmit Clock Select. Selects the transmit clock source, used to write data into the
transmit input register, for the transmit channel(s).
When LOW, all four input registers are clocked by REFCLK↑ [1].
When MID, TXCLKx↑ is used as the input register clock for TXDx[7:0] and TXCTx[1:0].
When HIGH, TXCLKA↑ is used to clock data into the input register of each channel.
TXCLKO±
LVTTL Output
Transmit Clock Output. This true and complement output clock is synthesized by the
transmit PLL and operates synchronous to the internal transmit character clock. It operates at either the same frequency as REFCLK, or at twice the frequency of REFCLK
(as selected by TXRATE). TXCLKO± is always equal to the transmit VCO bit-clock
frequency ÷10. This output clock has no direct phase relationship to REFCLK or any
recovered character clock.
TXRATE
LVTTL Input,
Transmit PLL Clock Rate Select. When TXRATE = HIGH, the Transmit PLL multiplies
Static Control input, REFCLK by 20 to generate the serial bit-rate clock. When TXRATE = LOW, the transmit
internal pull-down
PLL multiples REFCLK by 10 to generate the serial bit-rate clock. See Table 11 for a list
of operating serial rates.
When REFCLK is selected for clocking of the receive parallel interfaces (RXCKSEL =
LOW), the TXRATE input also determines if the clock on the RXCLKA± and RXCLKC±
outputs is a full or half-rate clock. When TXRATE = HIGH, these output clocks are halfrate clocks and follow the frequency and duty cycle of the REFCLK input. When TXRATE
= LOW, these output clocks are full-rate clocks and follow the frequency and duty cycle
of the REFCLK input.
TXCLKA
TXCLKB
TXCLKC
TXCLKD
LVTTL Clock Input,
internal
pull-down
Transmit path input clocks. These clocks must be frequency-coherent to TXCLKO±, but
may be offset in phase. The internal operating phase of each input clock (relative to
REFLCK) is adjusted when TXRST = LOW and locked when TXRST = HIGH.
Note:
2. 3-Level select inputs are used for static configuration. They are ternary (not binary) inputs that make use of non-standard logic levels of LOW, MID, and HIGH.
The LOW level is usually implemented by direct connection to VSS (ground). The HIGH level is usually implemented by direct connection to VCC (power). When
not connected or allowed to float, a 3-Level select input will self-bias to the MID level.

Receive Character clock output or clock select input. When the receive Elasticity Buffers

are output continuously at either the dual-character rate (1/20th the serial bit-rate) or
character rate (1/10th the serial bit-rate) of the data being received, as selected by
RXRATE.
When configured such that all output data paths are clocked by REFCLK instead of a
recovered clock (RXCKSEL = LOW), the RXCLKA± and RXCLKC± output drivers
present a buffered form of REFCLK, and RXCLKB+ and RXCLKD+ are static control
inputs used to select the master channel for bonding and status control. RXCLKA± and
RXCLKC± are buffered forms of REFCLK that are slightly different in phase. This phase
difference allows the user to select the optimal setup/hold timing for their specific interface.
When dual-channel bonding is enabled and a recovered clock is used to present data
(RXCKSEL = HIGH), RXCLKA± drives the recovered clock from either receive channel
A or receive channel B as selected by RXCLKB+, and RXCLKC± drives the recovered
clock from either receive channel C or receive channel D as selected by RXCLKD+.

mode, and the type of framing character selected.
When LOW, the low-latency framer is selected. This will frame on each occurrence of
the selected framing character(s) in the received data stream. This mode of framing
stretches the recovered clock for one or multiple cycles to align that clock with the
recovered data.
When MID, the Cypress-mode multi-byte parallel framer is selected. This requires a pair
of the selected framing character(s), on identical 10-bit boundaries, within a span of 50
bits, before the character boundaries are adjusted. The recovered character clock remains in the same phasing regardless of character offset.
When HIGH, the alternate mode multi-byte parallel framer is selected. This requires
detection of the selected framing character(s) of the allowed disparities in the received
data stream, on identical 10-bit boundaries, on four directly adjacent characters. The
recovered character clock remains in the same phasing regardless of character offset.

CYP15G0401DXA HOTLink-II Operation
The CYP15G0401DXA is a highly configurable device designed to support reliable transfer of large quantities of data,
using high-speed serial links, from one or multiple sources to
one or multiple destinations. This device supports four singlebyte or single-character channels that may be combined to
support transfer of wider buses.
CYP15G0401DXA Transmit Data Path
Operating Modes
The transmit path of the CYP15G0401DXA supports four
character-wide data paths. These data paths are used in multiple operating modes as controlled by the TXMODE[1:0] inputs.
Input Register
Within these operating modes, the bits in the Input Register for
each channel support different bit assignments, based on if the
character is unencoded, encoded with two control bits, or encoded with three control bits. These assignments are shown
in Table 1.

SCSEL
Each input register captures a minimum of eight data bits and
two control bits on each input clock cycle. When the encoder
is bypassed, the control bits are part of the pre-encoded 10-bit
character.
When the Encoder is enabled (TXMODE[1] ≠ L), the
TXCTx[1:0] bits are interpreted along with the associated
TXDx[7:0] character to generate the specific 10-bit transmission character. When TXMODE[0] ≠ H, an additional special
character select (SCSEL) input is also captured and interpreted. This SCSEL input is used to modify the encoding of the
associated characters. When the transmit input registers are
clocked by a common clock (TXCLKA↑ or REFCLK↑), this
SCSEL input can be changed on a clock-by-clock basis and
effects all four channels.
When operated with a separate input clock on each transmit
channel, this SCSEL input is sampled synchronous to
CYP15G0401DXA
TXCLKA↑. While the value on SCSEL still effects all channels,
it is interpreted when the character containing it is read from
the transmit Phase-Align Buffer (where all four paths are internally clocked synchronously).
Phase-Align Buffer
Data from the input registers is passed either to the encoder
or to the associated Phase-Align buffer. When the transmit
paths are operated synchronous to REFCLK↑ (TXCKSEL = L
and TXRATE = LOW), the Phase-Align Buffers are bypassed
and data is passed directly to the parity check and encoder
blocks to reduce latency.
When an Input-Register clock with an uncontrolled phase relationship to REFCLK is selected (TXCKSEL ≠ L) or if data is
captured on both edges of REFCLK (TXRATE = HIGH), the
Phase-Align Buffers are enabled. These buffers are used to
absorb clock phase differences between the presently selected input clock and the internal character clock.
Initialization of these phase-align buffers takes place when the
TXRST input is sampled LOW by TXCLKA↑. When TXRST is
returned HIGH, the present input clock phase relative to
REFCLK↑ is set. TXRST is an asynchronous input, but is sampled internally to synchronize it to the internal transmit path
state machines. TXRST must be sampled LOW by a minimum
of two consecutive TXCLKA↑ clocks to ensure the reset operation is initiated correctly on all channels.
Once set, the input clocks are allowed to skew in time up to
half a character period in either direction relative to REFCLK↑;
i.e., ±180°. This time shift allows the delay paths of the character clocks (relative to REFLCK↑) to change due to operating
voltage and temperature, while not affecting the design operation.
If the phase offset, between the initialized location of the input
clock and REFCLK↑, exceeds the skew handling capabilities
of the Phase-Align Buffer, an error is reported on the associated TXPERx output. This output will indicate a continuous
error until the Phase-Align Buffer is reset. While the error remains active, the transmitter for the associated channel will
output a continuous C0.7 character to indicate to the remote
receiver that an error condition is present in the link.
In specific transmit modes it is also possible to reset the
Phase-Align Buffers individually and with minimal disruption of
the serial data stream. When the transmit interface is configured for generation of atomic Word Sync Sequences
(TXMODE[1] = M) and a Phase-Align Buffer error is present,
the transmission of a Word Sync Sequence will re-center the
buffer and clear the error condition.
NOTE: One or more K28.5 characters may be added or lost
from the data stream during this reset operation. When
used with non-Cypress devices that require a complete 16character Word Sync Sequence for proper receive Elasticity Buffer alignment, it is recommend that the sequence be
followed by a second Word Sync Sequence to ensure proper operation.
Parity Support
In addition to the ten data and control bits that are captured at
each channel, a TXOPx input is also available on each channel. This allows the CYP15G0401DXA to support ODD parity
Note:

all operating modes (including Encoder Bypass). The specific
mode of parity checking is controlled by the PARCTL input,

When PARCTL is MID (open) and the encoders are enabled
(TXMODE[1] ≠ L), only the TXD[7:0] data bits are checked for
ODD parity along with the associated TXOPx bit. When
PARCTL = HIGH with the encoder enabled (or MID with the
encoder bypassed), the TXDx[7:0] and TXCTx[1:0] inputs are
checked for ODD parity along with the associated TXOPx bit.
When PARCTL = LOW, parity checking is disabled.
When parity checking and the encoder are both enabled
(TXMODE[1] ≠ L), the detection of a parity error causes a C0.7
character of proper disparity to be passed to the transmit
shifter. When the encoder is bypassed (TXMODE[1] = L), detection of a parity error causes a positive disparity version of a
C0.7 transmission character to be passed to the transmit
shifter.
Encoder
The character, received from the input register or phase-align
buffer and parity check logic, is then passed to the Encoder
logic. This block interprets each character and any associated
control bits, and outputs a 10-bit transmission character.
Depending on the configured operating mode, the generated
transmission character may be
• the 10-bit pre-encoded character accepted in the input register
• the 10-bit equivalent of the 8-bit Data character accepted in
the input register
• the 10-bit equivalent of the 8-bit Special Character code
accepted in the input register
• the 10-bit equivalent of the C0.7 SVS character if parity
checking was enabled and a parity error was detected
Raw data, as received directly from the Transmit Input Register, is seldom in a form suitable for transmission across a serial
link. The characters must usually be processed or transformed
to guarantee
• a minimum transition density (to allow the serial receive PLL
to extract a clock from the data stream)
• a DC-balance in the signaling (to prevent baseline wander)
• run-length limits in the serial data (to limit the bandwidth of
the link)
• the remote receiver a way of determining the correct character boundaries (framing).
When the Encoder is enabled (TXMODE[1] ≠ L), the characters to be transmitted are converted from Data or Special
Character codes to 10-bit transmission characters (as selected by their respective TXCTx[1:0] and SCSEL inputs), using
an integrated 8B/10B encoder. When directed to encode the
character as a Special Character code, it is encoded using the
Special Character encoding rules listed in Table 25. When directed to encode the character as a Data character, it is encoded using the Data Character encoding rules in Table 24.
The 8B/10B encoder is standards compliant with ANSI/NCITS
ASC X3.230-1994 (Fibre Channel), IEEE 802.3z (Gigabit
Ethernet), the IBM ESCON and FICON channels, and
ATM Forum standards for data transport.
Many of the Special Character codes listed in Table 25 may be
generated by more than one input character. The
CYP15G0401DXA is designed to support two independent
(but non-overlapping) Special Character code tables. This allows the CYP15G0401DXA to operate in mixed environments
with other CYP15G0401DXAs using the enhanced Cypress
command code set, and the reduced command sets of other
non-Cypress devices. Even when used in an environment that
normally uses non-Cypress Special Character codes, the selective use of Cypress command codes can permit operation
where running disparity and error handling must be managed.
Following conversion of each input character from 8 bits to a
10-bit transmission character, it is passed to the Transmit
Shifter and is shifted out LSB first, as required by ANSI and
IEEE standards for 8B/10B coded serial data streams.
Transmit Modes
The operating mode of the transmit path is set through the
TXMODE[1:0] inputs. These 3-level select inputs allow one of
nine transmit modes to be selected. Within each of these operating modes, the actual characters generated by the Encoder logic block are also controlled both by these and other static
Note:

These bits combine to control the interpretation of the
TXDx[7:0] bits and the characters generated by them. These
bits are interpreted as listed in Table 5.
TX Mode 0—Encoder Bypass
When the Encoder is bypassed, the character captured in the
TXDx[7:0] and TXCTx[1:0] inputs is passed directly to the
transmit shifter without modification. If parity checking is enabled (PARCTL ≠ LOW) and a parity error is detected, the 10bit character is replaced with the 1001111000 pattern (+C0.7
character) regardless of the running disparity of the previous
character.
With the encoder bypassed, the TXCTx[1:0] inputs are considered part of the data character and do not perform a control
function that would otherwise modify the interpretation of the
TXDx[7:0] bits. The bit usage and mapping of these control bits
when the Encoder is bypassed is shown in Table 4.
TXCTx[0]
The encoded modes (TX Modes 3 through 8) support multiple
encoding tables. These encoding tables vary by the specific
combinations of SCSEL, TXCTx[1], and TXCTx[0] that are
used to control the generation of data and control characters.
These multiple encoding forms allow maximum flexibility in interfacing to legacy applications, while also supporting numerous extensions in capabilities.

When TXCKSEL = M, all transmit channels capture data into
their input registers using independent TXCLKx clocks. The
SCSEL input is sampled only by TXCLKA↑. When the character (accepted in the Channel-A Input Register) has passed
through the Phase-Align Buffer and any selected parity validation, the level captured on SCSEL is passed to the Encoder of
the remaining channels during this same cycle.
To avoid the possible ambiguities that may arise due to the
uncontrolled arrival of SCSEL relative to the characters in the
alternate channels, SCSEL is often used as a static configuration input.
Word Sync Sequence
TX Mode 3—Atomic Word Sync and SCSEL Control of Special
Codes
When TXCTx[1:0] = 11, a 16-character sequence of K28.5
characters, known as a Word Sync Sequence, is generated on
the associated channel. This sequence of K28.5 characters
may start with either a positive or negative disparity K28.5 (as
determined by the current running disparity and the 8B/10B
coding rules). The disparity of the second and third K28.5
characters in this sequence are reversed from what normal
8B/10B coding rules would generate. The remaining K28.5
characters in the sequence follow all 8B/10B coding rules. The
disparity of the generated K28.5 characters in this sequence
would follow a pattern of either ++––+–+–+–+–+–+– or
––++–+–+–+–+–+–+.
When configured in TX Mode 3, the SCSEL input is captured
along with the associated TXCTx[1:0] data control inputs.
When TXMODE[1] = M (open, TX modes 3, 4, and 5), the
generation of this character sequence is an atomic (non-inter-
In this mode the SCSEL input is not interpreted. All clocking
modes interpret the data the same, with no internal linking

If parity checking is enabled, the character used to start the
Word Sync Sequence must also have correct ODD parity. This
is true even though the contents of the TXDx[7:0] bits do not

Sync Sequence. Once the sequence is started, parity is not

cannot be stopped until all 16 characters have been generated. The content of the associated input register(s) is ignored
for the duration of this 16-character sequence. At the end of
this sequence, if the TXCTx[1:0] = 11 condition is sampled
again, the sequence restarts and remains uninterruptible for
the following 15 character clocks.

alternate channels, SCSEL is often used as a static configuration input.
When TXMODE[1] = H (TX modes 6, 7, and 8), the generation
of the Word Sync Sequence becomes an interruptible operation. In TX Mode 6, this sequence is started as soon as the
TXCTx[1:0] = 11 condition is detected on a channel. In order
for the sequence to continue on that channel, the TXCTx[1:0]
inputs must be sampled as 00 for the remaining 15 characters
of the sequence.
TX Mode 4 also supports an Atomic Word Sync Sequence.
Unlike TX Mode 3, this sequence is started when both SCSEL
and TXCTx[0] are sampled HIGH. With the exception of the
combination of control bits used to initiate the sequence, the
generation and operation of this Word Sync Sequence is the
same as that documented for TX Mode 3.
If at any time a sample period exists where TXCTx[1:0] ≠ 00,
the Word Sync Sequence is terminated, and a character representing the associated data and control bits is generated by
the Encoder. This resets the Word Sync Sequence state machine such that it will start at the beginning of the sequence at
the next occurrence of TXCTx[1:0] = 11.
TX Mode 5—Atomic Word Sync, No SCSEL
When parity checking is enabled and TXMODE[1] = H, all
characters (including those in the middle of a Word Sync Sequence) must have correct parity. The detection of a character
with incorrect parity during a Word Sync Sequence (regardless of the state of TXCTx[1:0]) will interrupt that sequence
and force generation of a C0.7 SVS character. Any interruption
of the Word Sync Sequence causes the sequence to terminate.
For non-bonded operation, the TXCTx[1:0] inputs for each
channel control the characters generated by that channel. The
specific characters generated by these bits are listed in
Table 7.
TX Mode 4—Atomic Word Sync and SCSEL Control of
Word Sync Sequence Generation
When configured in TX Mode 4, the SCSEL input is captured
along with the associated TXCTx[1:0] data control inputs.
These bits combine to control the interpretation of the
TXDx[7:0] bits and the characters generated by them. These
bits are interpreted as listed in Table 6.
When TXCKSEL = M, all transmit channels operate independently. The SCSEL input is sampled only by TXCKA↑. When
the character accepted in the Channel-A Input Register has
passed any selected validation and is ready to be passed to
the Encoder, the level captured on SCSEL is passed to the
encoders of the remaining channels during this same cycle.

When TXCKSEL = L, the input registers for all four transmit
channels are clocked by REFCLK [1]. When TXCKSEL = H,
the input registers for all four transmit channels are clocked
with TXCLKA↑. In these clock modes all four sets of
TXCTx[1:0] inputs operate synchronous to the SCSEL input.
When configured in TX Mode 5, the SCSEL signal is not used.
In addition to the standard character encodings, both with and
without atomic Word Sync Sequence generation, two additional encoding mappings are controlled by the Channel Bonding

TX Mode 5 also has the capability of generating an Atomic
Word Sync Sequence. For the sequence to be started, the
TXCTx[1:0] inputs must both be sampled HIGH. With the exception of the combination of control bits used to initiate the
sequence, the generation and operation of this Word Sync Sequence is the same as that documented for TX Mode 3.
Two additional encoding maps are provided for use when receive channel bonding is enabled. When dual-channel bonding is enabled (RXMODE[1] = M), the CYP15G0401DXA is
configured such that channels A and B are bonded together to
form a two-character-wide path, and channels C and D are
bonded together to form a second two-character-wide path.
When operated in this two-channel bonded mode, the
TXCTA[0] and TXCTB[0] inputs control the interpretation of the
data on both the A and B channels, while the TXCTC[0] and
TXCTD[0] inputs control the interpretation of the data on both
the C and D channels. The characters on each half of these

16-character word sync on channels C and D
Note especially that any time TXCTB[0] is sampled HIGH, both
channels A and B start generating an Atomic Word Sync Sequence, regardless of the state of any of the other bits in the
A or B input registers (with the exception of any enabled parity
checking). In a similar fashion, anytime TXCTD[0] is sampled
HIGH, both the C and D channels start generation of an Atomic Word Sync Sequence.
When RXMODE[1] = H, the CYP15G0401DXA is configured
for quad-channel bonding, such that channels A, B, C, and D
are bonded together to form a four-character-wide path. When
operated in this mode, the TXCTA[0] and TXCTB[0] inputs
control the interpretation of the data on all four channels. The
characters generated on these bonded channels are controlled by the associated TXCTx[1] bit. The specific characters
generated by these bits are listed in Table 9.
Unlike dual-channel modes, when all four channels are bonded together, the TXCTC[0] and TXCTD[0] inputs are not interpreted.
Transmit BIST
The transmitter interfaces contain internal pattern generators
that can be used to validate both device and link operation.
These generators are enabled by the associated BOE[x] signals listed in Table 10 (when the BISTLE latch enable input is
HIGH). When enabled, a register in the associated transmit
channel becomes a signature pattern generator by logically
converting to a Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR). This
LFSR generates a 511-character sequence that includes all
Data and Special Character codes, including the explicit viola-
Document #: 38-02002 Rev. *B
tion symbols. This provides a predictable yet pseudo-random
sequence that can be matched to an identical LFSR in the
attached Receiver(s).
When the BISTLE signal is HIGH, any BOE[x] input that is
LOW enables the BIST generator in the associated transmit
channel (or the BIST checker in the associated receive channel). When BISTLE returns LOW, the values of all BOE[x] signals are captured in the BIST Enable Latch. These values remain in the BIST Enable Latch until BISTLE is returned high
to open the latch again. All captured signals in the BIST Enable
Latch are set HIGH (i.e., BIST is disabled) following a a device
reset (TRSTZ is sampled LOW).
All data and data-control information present at the associated
TXDx[7:0] and TXCTx[1:0] inputs are ignored when BIST is
active on that channel. If the receive channels are configured
for common clock operation (RXCKSEL ≠ MID) each pass is
preceded by a 16-character Word Sync Sequence to allow
Elasticity Buffer alignment and management of clock-frequency variations.
Serial Output Drivers
The serial interface Output Drivers make use of high-performance differential CML (Current Mode Logic) to provide a
source-matched driver for the transmission lines. These drivers accept data from the Transmit Shifters. These outputs
have signal swings equivalent to that of standard PECL drivers, and are capable of driving AC-coupled optical modules or
AC-coupled transmission lines.

drivers for all enabled ports are configured to drive a static

Each output can be enabled or disabled separately through the
BOE[7:0] inputs, as controlled by the OELE latch-enable signal. When OELE is HIGH, the signals present on the BOE[7:0]
inputs are passed through the Serial Output Enable latch to

When OELE is HIGH and BOE[x] is HIGH, the associated serial driver is enabled to drive any attached transmission line.
When OELE is HIGH and BOE[x] is LOW, the associated driver is disabled and internally configured for minimum power dissipation. If both outputs for a channel are in this disabled state,

the associated internal logic for that channel is also configured
for lowest power operation. When OELE returns LOW, the values present on the BOE[7:0] inputs are latched in the Output

opened the latch again.
Note: When a disabled transmit channel (i.e., both outputs

not meet all timing specifications for up to 10 ms.
Transmit PLL Clock Multiplier
The Transmit PLL Clock Multiplier accepts a character-rate or
half-character-rate external clock at the REFCLK input, and
multiples that clock by 10 or 20 (as selected by TXRATE) to
generate a bit-rate clock for use by the transmit shifter. It also
provides a character-rate clock used by the transmit paths.
The clock multiplier PLL can accept a REFCLK input between
10 MHz and 150 MHz, however, this clock range is limited by
the operating mode of the CYP15G0401DXA clock multiplier
(controlled by TXRATE) and by the level on the SPDSEL input.
SPDSEL is a 3-level select[2] (ternary) input that selects one
of three operating ranges for the serial data outputs and inputs. The operating serial signaling-rate and allowable range
of REFCLK frequencies are listed in Table 11.
The REFCLK± input is a non-standard input. It is implemented
as a differential input with each input internally biased to
VCC/2. If the REFCLK+ input is connected to a TTL, LVTTL, or
LVCMOS clock source, the input signal is recognized when it
passes through the internally biased reference point.
When both the REFCLK+ and REFCLK− inputs are connected, the clock source must be a differential clock. This can be

a differential LVTTL or LVCMOS clock.
By connecting the REFCLK− input to an external voltage
source or resistive voltage divider, it is possible to adjust the
reference point of the REFCLK+ input for alternate logic levels.
When doing so it is necessary to ensure that the 0V-differential
crossing point remain within the parametric range supported
by the input.

Analog Amplitude
While the majority of these signal monitors are based on fixed
constants, the analog amplitude level detection is adjustable
to allow operation with highly attenuated signals, or in highnoise environments. This adjustment is made through the
SDASEL signal, a 3-level select[2] (ternary) input, which sets
the trip point for the detection of a valid signal at one of three
levels, as listed in Table 12. This control input effects the analog monitors for all receive channels.
CYP15G0401DXA Receive Data Path
The Signal Detect monitors are active for the present line receiver, as selected by the associated INSELx input. When configured for local loopback (LPEN = HIGH), no line receivers are
selected, and the LFI output for each channel reports only the
receive VCO frequency out-of-range and transition density
status of the associated transmit signal. When local loopback
is active, the analog amplitude monitors are disabled.
Serial Line Receivers
Transition Density
Two differential line receivers, INx1± and INx2±, are available
on each channel for accepting serial data streams. The active
line receiver on a channel is selected using the associated
INSELx input. The serial line receiver inputs are all differential,
and can accommodate wire interconnect and filtering losses
or transmission line attenuation greater than 16 dB
(VDIF > 100 mV, or 200 mV peak-to-peak differential) or can be
DC- or AC-coupled to +3.3V powered fiber-optic interface
modules (any ECL/PECL logic family, not limited to 100K
PECL) or AC-coupled to +5V powered optical modules. The
common-mode tolerance of these line receivers accommodates a wide range of signal termination voltages. Each receiver provides internal DC-restoration, to the center of the receiver’s common mode range, for AC-coupled signals.
The transition detection logic checks for the absence of any
transitions spanning greater than six transmission characters
(60 bits). If no transitions are present in the data received on
a channel (within the referenced period), the transition detection logic for that channel will assert LFIx. The LFIx output
remains asserted until at least one transition is detected in
each of three adjacent received characters.
The local loopback input (LPEN) allows the serial transmit data
outputs to be routed internally back to the Clock and Data Recovery circuit associated with each channel. When configured
for local loopback, all transmit serial driver outputs are forced
to output a differential logic-1. This prevents local diagnostic
patterns from being broadcast to attached remote receivers.
Signal Detect / Link Fault
Each selected Line Receiver (i.e., that routed to the Clock and
Data Recovery PLL) is simultaneously monitored for
• analog amplitude
• transition density
• range controls report the received data stream inside normal frequency range (± 200 ppm)
• receive channel enabled
All of these conditions must be valid for the Signal Detect block
to indicate a valid signal is present. This status is presented on
the LFIx (Link Fault Indicator) output associated with each receive channel, which changes synchronous to the selected
receive interface clock.
Document #: 38-02002 Rev. *B
Range Controls
The receive-VCO range-control monitors do more than just
report the frequency status of the received signal. They also
determine if the receive Clock/Data Recovery circuits (CDR)
should align the receive VCO clock to the data stream or to the
local REFCLK input. This function prevents the receive VCO
from tracking an out-of-specification received signal.
When the range-control monitor for a channel indicates that
the signaling rate is within specification, the phase detector in
the receive PLL is configured to track the transitions in the
received data stream. In this mode the LFIx output for the associated channel is HIGH (unless one of the other status monitors indicates that the received signal is out of specification).
If the range-control monitor indicates that the received data
stream signaling-rate is out of specification, the phase detector
is configured to track the local REFCLK input, and the associated LFIx output is asserted LOW.
The specific trip points for this compare function are listed in
Table 13. Because the compare function operates with two
asynchronous clocks, there is a small uncertainty in the measurement. The switch points are asymmetric to provide hysteresis to the operation.
Receive Channel Enabled
The CYP15G0401DXA contains four receive channels that
can be independently enabled and disabled. Each channel
can be enabled or disabled separately through the BOE[7:0]
inputs, as controlled by the RXLE latch-enable signal. When
RXLE is HIGH, the signals present on the BOE[7:0] inputs are

passed through the Receive Channel Enable latch to control
the PLLs and logic of the associated receive channel. The
BOE[7:0] input associated with a specific receive channel is
listed in Table 10.
When RXLE is HIGH and BOE[x] is HIGH, the associated receive channel enabled to receive and decode a serial stream
from the selected line receiver. When RXLE is HIGH and
BOE[x] is LOW, the associated receive channel is disabled and
internally configured for minimum power dissipation. If a single
channel of a bonded-pair or bonded-quad is disabled, this will
impact the ability of the receive channels to bond correctly. In
addition, if the disabled channel is selected as the master
channel for insert/delete functions, or for recovered clock select, these functions will not work correctly. Any disabled channel will indicate a constant /LFIx output. When RXLE returns
LOW, the values present on the BOE[7:0] inputs are latched in
the Receive Channel Enable Latch, and remain there until
RXLE returns HIGH to opened the latch again.
Note: When a disabled receive channel is re-enabled, the
status of the associated LFIx output and data on the parallel
outputs for the associated channel may be indeterminate
for up to 10 ms.
Clock/Data Recovery
The extraction of a bit-rate clock and recovery of bits from each
received serial stream is performed by a separate Clock/Data
Recovery (CDR) block within each receive channel. The clock
extraction function is performed by high-performance embedded phase-locked loops (PLLs) that track the frequency of the
transitions in the incoming bit streams and align the phase of
their internal bit-rate clocks to the transitions in the selected
serial data streams.
Each CDR accepts a character-rate (bit-rate ÷ 10) or halfcharacter-rate (bit-rate ÷ 20) reference clock from the
REFCLK input. This REFCLK input is used to
• ensure that the VCO (within each CDR) is operating at the
correct frequency (rather than some harmonic of the bitrate)
• to improve PLL acquisition time
• and to limit unlocked frequency excursions of the CDR VCO
when no data is present at the selected serial inputs.
Regardless of the type of signal present, the CDR will attempt
to recover a data stream from it. If the frequency of the recovered data stream is outside the limits set by the range control
CYP15G0401DXA
monitors, the CDR PLL will track REFCLK instead of the data
stream. When the frequency of the selected data stream returns to a valid frequency, the CDR PLL is allowed to track the
received data stream. The frequency of REFCLK is required
to be within ± 200 ppm of the frequency of the clock that drives
the REFCLK input of the remote transmitter to ensure a lock
to the incoming data stream.
For systems using multiple or redundant connections, the LFIx
output can be used to select an alternate data stream. When
an LFIx indication is detected, external logic can toggle selection of the associated INx1± and INx2± inputs through the associated INSELx input. When a port switch takes place, it is
necessary for the receive PLL for that channel to reacquire the
new serial stream and frame to the incoming character boundaries. If channel bonding is also enabled, a channel alignment
event is also required before the output data may be considered usable.
Deserializer/Framer
Each CDR circuit extracts bits from the associated serial data
stream and clocks these bits into the Shifter/Framer at the bitclock rate. When enabled, the Framer examines the data
stream looking for one or more COMMA or K28.5 characters
at all possible bit positions. The location of this character in the
data stream is used to determine the character boundaries of
all following characters.
Framing Character
The CYP15G0401DXA allows selection of one of three combinations of framing characters to support requirements of different interfaces. The selection of the framing character is
made through the FRAMCHAR input.
FRAMCHAR is a 3-level select [2] input that allows selection of
one of three different framing characters or character combinations. The specific bit combinations of these framing characters are listed in Table 14. When the specific bit combination
of the selected framing character is detected by the framer, the
boundaries of the characters present in the received data
stream are known.

Framer
The framer on each channel operates in one of three different
modes, as selected by the RFMODE input. In addition, the
framer itself may be enabled or disabled through the RFEN
input. When RFEN = LOW, the framers in all four receive paths
are disabled, and no combination of bits in a received data
stream will alter the character boundaries. When RFEN =
HIGH, the framer selected by RFMODE is enabled on all four
channels.
Note:
7. The standard definition of a COMMA contains only seven bits. However, since all valid COMMA characters within the 8B/10B character set also have the 8th
bit as an inversion of the 7th bit, the compare pattern is extended to a full eight bits to reduce the possibility of a framing error.
Document #: 38-02002 Rev. *B
Page 22 of 48
PRELIMINARY
When RFMODE = LOW, the low-latency framer is selected.
This framer operates by stretching the recovered character
clock until it aligns with the received character boundaries. In
this mode the framer starts its alignment process on the first
detection of the selected framing character. To reduce the impact on external circuits that make use of a recovered clock,
the clock period is not stretched by more than two bit-periods
in any one clock cycle. When operated in with a character-rate
output clock (RXRATE = LOW), the output of properly framed
characters may be delayed by up to nine character-clock
cycles from the detection of the selected framing character.
When operated with a half-character-rate output clock
(RXRATE = HIGH), the output of properly framed characters
may be delayed by up to 14 character-clock cycles from the
detection of the selected framing character.
When RFMODE is MID (open) the Cypress-mode multi-byte
framer is selected. The required detection of multiple framing
characters makes the associated link much more robust to incorrect framing due to aliased SYNC characters in the data
stream. In this mode, the framer does not adjust the character
clock boundary, but instead aligns the character to the already
recovered character clock. This ensures that the recovered
clock will not contain any significant phase changes or hops
during normal operation or framing, and allows the recovered
clock to be replicated and distributed to other external circuits
or components using PLL-based clock distribution elements.
In this framing mode the character boundaries are only adjusted if the selected framing character is detected at least twice
within a span of 50 bits, with both instances on identical 10-bit
character boundaries.
When RFMODE = HIGH, the alternate-mode multi-byte framer
is enabled. Like the Cypress-mode multi-byte framer, multiple
framing characters must be detected before the character
boundary is adjusted. In this mode, the data stream must contain a minimum of four of the selected framing characters, received as consecutive characters, on identical 10-bit boundaries, before character framing is adjusted.
NOTE: Except for the K29.7 character, the 8B/10B running
disparity rules prohibit the presence of multiple COMMA+
characters as consecutive characters. Because of this, the
combination of FRAMCHAR LOW and RFMODE = HIGH is
not recommended. While framing can still take place while
following all 8B/10B coding rules, this configuration prevents framing to the K28.5 character.
NOTE: The receive Elasticity Buffers require detection of
four of the selected framing character to enable buffer alignment and centering. Because these characters must occur
as consecutive characters, the combination of FRAMCHAR
LOW and RFMODE = HIGH is not recommended for receive modes that use the Elasticity Buffers.
Framing for all channels is enabled when RFEN = HIGH. If
RFEN = LOW, the framer for each channel is disabled. When
the framers are disabled, no changes are made to the recovered character boundaries on any channel, regardless of the
presence of framing characters in the data stream.
10B/8B Decoder Block
The decoder logic block performs three primary functions:
• decoding the received transmission characters back into
Data and Special Character codes,
• comparing generated BIST patterns with received characters to permit at-speed link and device testing,
Document #: 38-02002 Rev. *B
CYP15G0401DXA
• and generation of ODD parity on the decoded characters.
10B/8B Decoder
The framed parallel output of each deserializer shifter is
passed to the 10B/8B Decoder where, if the Decoder is enabled (DECMODE ≠ LOW), it is transformed from a 10-bit
transmission character back to the original Data and Special
Character codes. This block uses the 10B/8B decoder patterns in Table 24 and Table 25 of this data sheet. Valid data
characters are indicated by a 000b bit-combination on the associated RXSTx[2:0] status bits, and Special Character codes
are indicated by a 001b bit-combination on these same status
outputs. Framing characters, Invalid patterns, disparity errors, and
synchronization status are presented as alternate combinations of
these status bits.
The 10B/8B decoder operates in two normal modes, and can
also be bypassed. The operating mode for the decoder is controlled by the DECMODE input.
When DECMODE = LOW, the decoder is bypassed and raw
10-bit characters are passed to the output register. In this
mode, channel bonding is not possible, the receive Elasticity
Buffers are bypassed, and RXCKSEL must be MID. This clock
mode generates separate RXCLKx± outputs for each receive
channel.
When DECMODE is MID (or open), the 10-bit transmission
characters are decoded using Tables 24 and 25. Received
Special Code characters are decoded using the Cypress column of Table 25.
When DECMODE = HIGH, the 10-bit transmission characters
are decoded using Table 24 and Table 25. Received Special
Code characters are decoded using the Alternate column of
Table 25.
In all settings where the decoder is enabled, the receive paths
may be operated as separate channels or bonded to form various multi-channel buses.
Receive BIST Operation
The receiver interfaces contain internal pattern generators that
can be used to validate both device and link operation. These
generators are enabled by the associated BOE[x] signals listed in Table 10 (when the BISTLE latch enable input is HIGH).
When enabled, a register in the associated receive channel
becomes a signature pattern generator and checker by logically converting to a Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR).
This LFSR generates a 511-character sequence that includes
all Data and Special Character codes, including the explicit
violation symbols. This provides a predictable yet pseudo-random sequence that can be matched to an identical LFSR in
the attached Transmitter(s). When synchronized with the received data stream, the associated receiver checks each character in the Decoder with each character generated by the
LFSR and indicates compare errors and BIST status at the
RXSTx[2:0] bits of the output register.
When the BISTLE signal is HIGH, any BOE[x] input that is
LOW enables the BIST generator/checker in the associated
receive channel (or the BIST generator in the associated transmit channel). When BISTLE returns LOW, the values of all
BOE[x] signals are captured in the BIST Enable Latch. These
values remain in the BIST Enable Latch until BISTLE is returned high to open the latch again. All captured signals in the
BIST Enable Latch are set HIGH (i.e., BIST is disabled) following a device reset (TRSTZ is sampled LOW).
Page 23 of 48
PRELIMINARY
The specific status reported by the BIST state machine are
listed in Table 21. These same codes are reported on the receive status outputs regardless of the state of DECMODE.
The specific patterns checked by each receiver are described
in detail in the Cypress application note “HOTLink Built-In SelfTest.” The sequence compared by the CYP15G0401DXA is
identical to that in the CY7B933 and CY7C924DX, allowing
interoperable systems to be built when used at compatible serial signaling rates.
If the number of invalid characters received ever exceeds the
number of valid characters by 16, the receive BIST state machine aborts the compare operations and resets the LFSR to
the D0.0 state to look for the start of the BIST sequence again.
When the receive paths are configured for common clock operation (RXCKSEL ≠ MID) each pass must be preceded by a
16-character Word Sync Sequence to allow output buffer
alignment and management of clock frequency variations.
This is automatically generated by the transmitter when its local RXCKSEL ≠ MID.
The BIST state machine requires the characters to be correctly
framed for it to detect the BIST sequence. If the framer is enabled and configured for low-latency operation (RFMODE =
LOW), the framer can align to characters within the BIST sequence. If either of the multi-byte framers are enabled
(RFMODE ≠ LOW), it is generally necessary to frame the receiver before BIST is enabled. If the receive outputs are
clocked relative to REFCLK (RXCKSEL = LOW), the transmitter precedes every 511 character BIST sequence with a 16character Word Sync Sequence. This sequence will frame the
receiver regardless of the setting of RFMODE.
Receive Elasticity Buffer
Each receive channel contains an Elasticity Buffer that is designed to support multiple clocking modes. These buffers allow
data to be read using an Elasticity Buffer read-clock that is
asynchronous in both frequency and phase from the Elasticity
Buffer write clock, or to use a read clock that is frequency coherent but with uncontrolled phase relative to the Elasticity
Buffer write clock.
Each Elasticity Buffer is a minimum of 10-characters deep, and
supports a 12-bit wide data path. It is capable of supporting a
decoded character, three status bits, and a parity bit for each
character present in the buffer. The write clock for these buffers
is always the recovered clock for the associated read channel.
The read clock for the Elasticity Buffers may come from one of
three selectable sources. It may be a
Document #: 38-02002 Rev. *B
Receive Modes
The operating mode of the receive path is set through the
RXMODE[1:0] inputs. These RXMODE[1:0] inputs are only interpreted when the decoder is enabled (DECMODE ≠ LOW).
These modes determine the type (if any) of channel bonding
and status reporting. The different receive modes are listed in
Table 15.

Independent Channel Modes
In independent channel modes (RX Modes 0 and 2, where
RXMODE[1] = LOW), all four receive paths may be clocked in
any clock mode selected by RXCKSEL.
When RXCKSEL = LOW, all four receive channels are clocked
by REFCLK. RXCLKB± and RXCLKD± outputs are disabled
(High-Z), and the RXCLKA± and RXCLKC± outputs present a
buffered and delayed form of REFCLK. In this mode, the receive Elasticity Buffers are enabled. For REFCLK↑ clocking,
the Elasticity Buffers must be able to insert K28.5 characters
and delete framing characters as appropriate.
The insertion of a K28.5 or deletion of a framing character can
occur at any time on any channel, however, the actual timing
on these insertions and deletions is controlled in part by the
how the transmitter sends its data. Insertion of a K28.5 character can only occur when the receiver has a framing character
in the Elasticity Buffer. Likewise, to delete a framing character,
one must also be in the Elasticity Buffer. To prevent a receive
buffer overflow or underflow on a receive channel, a minimum
density of framing characters must be present in the received
data streams.
Prior to reception of valid data, at least one Word Sync Sequence (or that portion of one necessary to align the receive
buffers) must be received to allow the receive Elasticity Buffer
to be centered. The Elasticity buffer may also be set by a device reset operation initiated through the TRSTZ input, however, following such an event the CYP15G0401DX will normally
Page 24 of 48

require a framing event before it will correctly decode characters.
When RXCKSEL is MID (or open), each received channel output register is clocked by the recovered clock for that channel.
Since no characters may be added or deleted, the receiver
Elasticity Buffer is bypassed.
When RXCKSEL = HIGH, all channels are clocked by the selected recovered clock. This selection is made using the
RXCLKB+ and RXCLKD+ signals as inputs per Table 16. This
selected clock is always output on RXCLKA± and RXCLKC±.
In this mode the receive Elasticity Buffers are enabled. When
data is output using a recovered clock (RXCKSEL = HIGH),
receive channels are not allowed to insert and delete characters, except as necessary for Elasticity Buffer alignment.

Buffers must be able to insert K28.5 characters and delete
framing characters as appropriate. While these insertions and
deletions can take place at any time, they must occur at the
same time on both channels that are bonded together. This is
necessary to keep the data in the bonded channel-pairs properly aligned. This insert and delete process is controlled by the
channel selected using the RXCLKB+ and RXCLKD+ inputs
using the decodes listed in Table 17.
When RXCKSEL = HIGH, the A and B channels are clocked
by the selected recovered clock, and the C and D channels are
clocked by the selected recovered clock, as shown in
Table 17. The output clock for the channel A/B bonded-pair is
output continuously on RXCLKA±. The clock source for this
output is selected from the recovered clock for channel A or
channel B using the RXCLKB+ input. The output clock for the
channel C/D bonded-pair is output continuously on RXCLKC±.
The clock source for this output is selected from recovered
clock for channel C or channel D using the RXCLKD+ input.

Prior to reception of valid data, at least one Word Sync Sequence (or that portion of one necessary to align the receive
buffers) must be received to allow the receive Elasticity Buffers
to be centered. The Elasticity buffer may also be set by a device reset operation initiated through the TRSTZ input, however, following such an event the CYP15G0401DXA will normally
require a framing event before it will correctly decode characters. Since the Elasticity buffer is not allowed to insert or delete
framing characters, the transmit clocks on the channels must
all be from a common source.
Dual-Channel Bonded Modes
In dual-channel bonded modes (RX Modes 3 and 5, where
RXMODE[1] = MID or open), the associated receive channel
pair output registers must be clocked by a common clock. This
mode does not operate when RXCKSEL = MID.
Proper operation in this mode requires that the associated
transmit data streams are clocked from a common reference
with no long-term character slippage between the bonded
channels. In dual-channel mode this means that channels A
and B must be clocked from a common reference, and channels C and D must be clocked from a common reference
(all four transmit channels may be clocked from the same
source, but that is not a requirement).
Prior to reception of valid characters, at least one Word Sync
Sequence (or that portion of one necessary to align the receive
buffers) must be received on the bonded channels (within the
allowable inter-channel skew window) to allow the receive
Elasticity Buffers to be centered. While normal characters may
be output prior to this alignment event, they are not necessarily
aligned within the same boundaries that they were transmitted.
When RXCKSEL = LOW, all four receive channels are clocked
by REFCLK. RXCLKB± and RXCLKD± outputs are disabled
(High-Z), and RXCLKA± and RXCLKC± present a buffered
and delayed form of REFCLK. In this mode, the receive Elasticity Buffers are enabled. For REFCLK clocking, the Elasticity

When data is output using a recovered clock (RXCKSEL =
HIGH), receive channels are not allowed to insert and delete
characters, except as necessary for Elasticity Buffer alignment.
Quad Channel Modes
In quad-channel modes (RX modes 6 and 7, where
RXMODE[1] = HIGH), all four receive channel output registers
must be clocked by a common clock. This mode does not operate when RXCKSEL = MID.
Proper operation in this mode requires that the four transmit
data streams are clocked from a common reference with no
long-term character slippage between the bonded channels.
In quad-channel modes this means that the transmit channels
A, B, C, and D must all be clocked from a common reference.
Prior to reception of valid data, at least one Word Sync Sequence (or that portion of one necessary to align the receive
buffers) must be received on all four bonded channels (within
the allowable inter-channel skew window) to allow the receive
Elasticity Buffers to be centered and aligned.
When RXCKSEL = LOW, all four receive channels are clocked
by the internal derivative of REFCLK. RXCLKB± and
RXCLKD± outputs are disabled (High-Z), and RXCLKA± and
RXCLKC± present a buffered and delayed form of REFCLK.
In this mode the receive Elasticity Buffers are enabled. For
REFCLK clocking, the Elasticity Buffers must be able to insert
K28.5 characters and delete framing characters as appropriate. While these insertions and deletions can take place at any
time, they must occur at the same time on all four channels.
This is necessary to keep the data in the four bonded channels
properly aligned. This insert and delete process is controlled
by the channel selected using the RXCLKB+ and RXCLKD+
inputs using the decode listed in Table 16.
Page 25 of 48

When RXCKSEL = HIGH, all four receive-channel output registers are clocked by the selected recovered clock. The clock
select for quad channel mode is the same as that for independent channel operation. This selection is made using the
RXCLKB+ and RXCLKD+ inputs, as shown in Table 16. The
output clock for the four bonded channels is output continuously on RXCLKA± and RXCLKC±.
When data is output using a recovered clock (RXCKSEL =
HIGH), receive channels are not allowed to insert and delete
characters, except as necessary for Elasticity Buffer alignment.

In this mode, the BONDST[1:0] signals are used to pass channel bonding status between the different devices. This is necessary to keep the data on all bonded devices in common
alignment. One device must be selected as the controlling device by driving the MASTER pin on that device LOW. All other
devices must have their MASTER pin HIGH to prevent having
multiple active drivers on the BONDST bus. Within the master
device, a single receive channel is selected as the controlling
channel for generation of the different BONDST[1:0] status.
This selection is made using the RXCLKB+ and RXCLKD+
inputs, as shown in Table 16. This allows the master channel
selection to be dynamically changed through external control
of the MASTER, RXCLKB+, and RXCLKD+ inputs.
NOTE: Any change in master device or channel should be
followed by assertion of TRSTZ to properly initialize the devices.
Output Bus
Each receive channel presents a 12-signal output bus consisting of
• an 8-bit data bus
• a 3-bit status bus
• a parity bit
The signals present on this output bus are modified by the
present operating mode of the CYP15G0401DXA as selected
by DECMODE. This mapping is shown in Table 18.
When the 10B/8B decoder is bypassed (DECMODE = LOW),
the framed 10-bit value is presented to the associated output
register, along with a status output indicating if the character
in the output register is one of the selected framing characters.
The bit usage and mapping of the external signals to the raw
10B coded character is shown in Table 19.
The COMDETx status outputs operate the same regardless of
the bit combination selected for character framing by the
FRAMCHAR input. They are HIGH when the character in the
output register contains the selected framing character at the
proper character boundary, and LOW for all other bit combinations.
When the low-latency framer and half-rate receive port clocking are also enabled (RFMODE = LOW, RXRATE = HIGH, and

RXCKSEL ≠ LOW), the framer will stretch the recovered clock
to the nearest 20-bit boundary such that the rising edge of
RXCLKx+ occurs when COMDETx is present on the associated output bus.
When the standard framer is enabled and half-rate receive
port clocking are also enabled (RFMODE ≠ LOW and RXRATE
= HIGH), the output clock is not modified when framing is detected, but a single pipeline stage may be added or subtracted
from the data stream by the framer logic such that the rising
edge of RXCLKx+ occurs when COMDET is present on the
associated output bus.
This adjustment only occurs when the framer is enabled
(RFEN = HIGH). When the framer is disabled, the clock boundaries are not adjusted, and COMDETx may be active during
the rising edge of RXCLKx– (if an odd number of characters
were received following the initial framing).
Parity Generation
In addition to the eleven data and status bits that are presented
by each channel, an RXOPx parity output is also available on
each channel. This allows the CYP15G0401DXA to support
ODD parity generation for each channel. To handle a wide
Note:
8. The RXOPx outputs are also driven from the associated output register, but their interpretation is under the separate control of PARCTL.

PRELIMINARY
range of system environments, the CYP15G0401DXA supports multiple different forms of parity generation (in addition
to no parity). When the decoders are enabled (DECMODE ≠
LOW), parity can be generated on
• the RXDx[7:0] character
• the RXDx[7:0] character and RXSTx[2:0] status
When the decoders are bypassed (DECMODE = LOW), parity
can be generated on
• the RXDx[7:0] and RXSTx[1:0] bits
• the RXDx[7:0] and RXSTx[2:0] bits
These modes differ in the number bits which are included in
the parity calculation. For all cases, only ODD parity is provided which ensures that at least one bit of the data bus is always
a logic-1. Those bits covered by parity generation are listed in
Table 20.
Parity generation is enabled through the 3-level select
PARCTL input. When PARCTL = LOW, parity checking is disabled, and the RXOPx outputs are all disabled (High-Z).
When PARCTL is MID (open) and the decoders are enabled
(DECMODE ≠ LOW), ODD parity is generated for the received
and decoded character in the RXDx[7:0] signals and is presented on the associated RXOPx output. When PARCTL is
MID (open) and the decoders are bypassed
(DECMODE = LOW), ODD parity is generated for the received
and decoded character in the RXDx[7:0] and RXSTx[1:0] bit
positions.
When PARCTL = HIGH with the decoder enabled (or bypassed), ODD parity is generated for both the received and
decoded character, and for the associated RXSTx[2:0] status
bits.
When interface clocking is such that the decoded character is
passed through the receive Elasticity Buffer prior to the addition of the RXSTx[2:0] status bits, the generation of output
parity becomes a two-step process. The first parity calculation
takes place as soon as the character is framed and decoded.
This generates proper parity for the data portion of the decoded character which is then written to the Elasticity Buffer. When
the parity calculation also includes the associated RXSTx[2:0]
status bits (PARCTL = HIGH), a second parity calculation is
made prior to loading the data and status bits into the receive
Output Register. This is necessary because the status bits associated with a character in the Output Register are not necessarily determined until after the character is read from the
receive Elasticity Buffer.
This second parity calculation is based only on the content of
the status bits, and the singular parity bit associated with the
character read from the Elasticity Buffer.
CYP15G0401DXA
Receive Status Bits
When the 10B/8B decoder is enabled (DECMODE ≠ LOW),
each character presented at the output register includes three
associated status bits. These bits are used to identify
• if the contents of the data bus are valid,
• the type of character present,
• the state of receive BIST operations (regardless of the state
of DECMODE),
• character violations,
• and channel bonding status.
These conditions normally overlap; i.e., a valid data character
received with incorrect running disparity is not reported as a
valid data character. It is instead reported as a decoder violation of some specific type. This implies a hierarchy or priority
level to the various status bit combinations. The hierarchy and
value of each status is listed in Table 21.

Within these status decodes, there are three forms of status
reporting. The two normal or data status reporting modes
(Type A and Type B) are selectable through the RXMODE[0]
input. These status types allow compatibility with legacy systems, while allowing full reporting in new systems. The third
status type is used for reporting receive BIST status and
progress. These status values are generated in part by the
Receive Synchronization State Machine, and are listed in
Table 21.

channels are configured for channel bonding (RXMODE[1] ≠

Some of these state can respond with only one status value,
while others can respond with multiple status types.
BIST Status State Machine
When a receive path is enabled to look for and compare the
received data stream with the BIST pattern, the RXSTx[2:0]
bits identify the present state of the BIST compare operation.
The BIST state machine has multiple states, as shown in
Figure 4 and Table 21. When the receive PLL detects an outof-lock condition, the BIST state is forced to the Start-of-BIST
state, regardless of the present state of the BIST state machine. If the number of detected errors ever exceeds the number of valid matches by greater than 16, the state machine is
forced to the WAIT_FOR_BIST state where it monitors the in-
Document #: 38-02002 Rev. *B
terface for the first character of the next BIST sequence (D0.0).
Also, if the Elasticity Buffer ever hits and overflow/underflow
condition, the status is forced to the BIST_START until the
buffer is recentered (approximately nine character periods).
To ensure compatibility between the source and destination
BIST operating modes, the sending and receiving ends of the
BIST sequence must both have RXCKSEL = MID or both have
RXCKSEL ≠ MID.
JTAG Support
The CYP15G0401DXA contains a JTAG port to allow system
level diagnosis of device interconnect. Of the available JTAG
modes, only boundary scan is supported. This capability is
present only on the LVTTL inputs and outputs and the
REFCLK± clock input. The high-speed serial inputs and outputs are not part of the JTAG test chain.

Notes:
21. The duty cycle specification is a simultaneous condition with the tREFH and tREFL parameters. This means that at faster character rates the REFCLK duty
cycle cannot be as large as 30%-70%,
22. REFCLK has no phase or frequency relationship with the recovered clock(s) and only acts as a centering reference to reduce clock synchronization time.
REFCLK must be within ±200 PPM (±0.02%) of the transmitter PLL reference (REFCLK) frequency, necessitating a ±100-PPM crystal.

Notes:
25. Static alignment is a measure of the alignment of the Receiver sampling point to the center of a bit. Static alignment is measured by sliding one bit edge in
3,000 nominal transitions until a character error occurs.
26. Receiver UI (Unit Interval) is calculated as 1/(fREF * 20) (when RXRATE = HIGH) or 1/(fREF * 10) (when RXRATE = LOW) if no data is being received, or 1/(fREF * 20)
(when RXRATE = HIGH) or 1/(fREF * 10) (when RXRATE = LOW) of the remote transmitter if data is being received. In an operating link this is equivalent to tB.
27. Error Free Window is a measure of the time window between bit centers where a transition may occur without causing a bit sampling error. EFW is measured
over the operating range, input jitter < 50% Dj.

X3.230 Codes and Notation Conventions
Information to be transmitted over a serial link is encoded eight
bits at a time into a 10-bit Transmission Character and then
sent serially, bit by bit. Information received over a serial link is
collected ten bits at a time, and those Transmission Characters
that are used for data (Data Characters) are decoded into the
correct eight-bit codes. The 10-bit Transmission Code supports all 256 8-bit combinations. Some of the remaining Transmission Characters (Special Characters) are used for functions other than data transmission.
The primary rationale for use of a Transmission Code is to
improve the transmission characteristics of a serial link. The
encoding defined by the Transmission Code ensures that sufficient transitions are present in the serial bit stream to make
clock recovery possible at the Receiver. Such encoding also
greatly increases the likelihood of detecting any single or multiple bit errors that may occur during transmission and reception of information. In addition, some Special Characters of the
Transmission Code selected by Fibre Channel Standard consist of a distinct and easily recognizable bit pattern (the Special
Character COMMA) that assists a Receiver in achieving word
alignment on the incoming bit stream.
Notation Conventions
The documentation for the 8B/10B Transmission Code uses
letter notation for the bits in an 8-bit byte. Fibre Channel Standard notation uses a bit notation of A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H for
the 8-bit byte for the raw 8-bit data, and the letters a, b, c, d, e,
i, f, g, h, j for encoded 10-bit data. There is a correspondence
between bit A and bit a, B and b, C and c, D and d, E and e, F
and f, G and g, and H and h. Bits i and j are derived, respectively, from (A,B,C,D,E) and (F,G,H).
The bit labeled A in the description of the 8B/10B Transmission
Code corresponds to bit 0 in the numbering scheme of the FC2 specification, B corresponds to bit 1, as shown below.
FC-2 bit designation—
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
HOTLink D/Q designation— 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
8B/10B bit designation—
H G F E D C B A
To clarify this correspondence, the following example shows
the conversion from an FC-2 Valid Data Byte to a Transmission
Character (using 8B/10B Transmission Code notation)
FC-2 45
Bits: 7654 3210
0100 0101
Converted to 8B/10B notation (note carefully that the order of
bits is reversed):
Data Byte Name
D5.2
Bits:ABCDEFGH
10100 010
Translated to a transmission Character in the 8B/10B Transmission Code:
Bits: abcdeifghj
1010010101
Each valid Transmission Character of the 8B/10B Transmission Code has been given a name using the following convention: cxx.y, where c is used to show whether the Transmission
Character is a Data Character (c is set to D, and SC/D = LOW)
or a Special Character (c is set to K, and SC/D = HIGH). When c is
set to D, xx is the decimal value of the binary number composed of
Document #: 38-02002 Rev. *B
CYP15G0401DXA
the bits E, D, C, B, and A in that order, and the y is the decimal value
of the binary number composed of the bits H, G, and F in that order.
When c is set to K, xx and y are derived by comparing the encoded
bit patterns of the Special Character to those patterns derived from
encoded Valid Data bytes and selecting the names of the patterns
most similar to the encoded bit patterns of the Special Character.
Under the above conventions, the Transmission Character
used for the examples above, is referred to by the name D5.2.
The Special Character K29.7 is so named because the first six
bits (abcdei) of this character make up a bit pattern similar to
that resulting from the encoding of the unencoded 11101 pattern (29), and because the second four bits (fghj) make up a
bit pattern similar to that resulting from the encoding of the
unencoded 111 pattern (7).
Note: This definition of the 10-bit Transmission Code is based
on (and is in basic agreement with) the following references,
which describe the same 10-bit transmission code.

8B/10B Transmission Code
The following information describes how the tables shall be
used for both generating valid Transmission Characters (encoding) and checking the validity of received Transmission
Characters (decoding). It also specifies the ordering rules to
be followed when transmitting the bits within a character and
the characters within the higher-level constructs specified by
the standard.
Transmission Order
Within the definition of the 8B/10B Transmission Code, the bit
positions of the Transmission Characters are labeled a, b, c, d,
e, i, f, g, h, j. Bit “a” shall be transmitted first followed by bits b,
c, d, e, i, f, g, h, and j in that order. (Note that bit i shall be
transmitted between bit e and bit f, rather than in alphabetical
order.)
Valid and Invalid Transmission Characters
The following tables define the valid Data Characters and valid
Special Characters (K characters), respectively. The tables are
used for both generating valid Transmission Characters (encoding) and checking the validity of received Transmission
Characters (decoding). In the tables, each Valid-Data-byte or
Special-Character-code entry has two columns that represent
two (not necessarily different) Transmission Characters. The
two columns correspond to the current value of the running
disparity (“Current RD−” or “Current RD+”). Running disparity
is a binary parameter with either the value negative (−) or the
value positive (+).
After powering on, the Transmitter may assume either a positive or negative value for its initial running disparity. Upon
transmission of any Transmission Character, the transmitter
will select the proper version of the Transmission Character
Page 40 of 48
PRELIMINARY
based on the current running disparity value, and the Transmitter shall calculate a new value for its running disparity
based on the contents of the transmitted character. Special
Character codes C1.7 and C2.7 can be used to force the transmission of a specific Special Character with a specific running
disparity as required for some special sequences in X3.230.
CYP15G0401DXA
be used as the Transmitter’s current running disparity for the
next Valid Data byte or Special Character byte to be encoded
and transmitted. Table 22 shows naming notations and examples
of valid transmission characters.
Use of the Tables for Checking the Validity of Received
Transmission Characters
After powering on, the Receiver may assume either a positive
or negative value for its initial running disparity. Upon reception
of any Transmission Character, the Receiver shall decide
whether the Transmission Character is valid or invalid according to the following rules and tables and shall calculate a new
value for its Running Disparity based on the contents of the
received character.
The column corresponding to the current value of the Receiver’s running disparity shall be searched for the received Transmission Character. If the received Transmission Character is
found in the proper column, then the Transmission Character
is valid and the associated Data byte or Special Character
code is determined (decoded). If the received Transmission
Character is not found in that column, then the Transmission
Character is invalid. This is called a code violation. Independent of the Transmission Character’s validity, the received
Transmission Character shall be used to calculate a new value
of running disparity. The new value shall be used as the Receiver’s current running disparity for the next received Transmission Character.
The following rules for running disparity shall be used to calculate the new running-disparity value for Transmission Characters that have been transmitted (Transmitter’s running disparity) and that have been received (Receiver’s running
disparity).
Running disparity for a Transmission Character shall be calculated from sub-blocks, where the first six bits (abcdei) form one
sub-block and the second four bits (fghj) form the other subblock. Running disparity at the beginning of the 6-bit sub-block
is the running disparity at the end of the previous Transmission
Character. Running disparity at the beginning of the 4-bit subblock is the running disparity at the end of the 6-bit sub-block.
Running disparity at the end of the Transmission Character is
the running disparity at the end of the 4-bit sub-block.

the 4-bit sub-block is 0011.

2. Running disparity at the end of any sub-block is negative if
the sub-block contains more zeros than ones. It is also negative at the end of the 6-bit sub-block if the 6-bit sub-block
is 111000, and it is negative at the end of the 4-bit sub-block
if the 4-bit sub-block is 1100.
3. Otherwise, running disparity at the end of the sub-block is
the same as at the beginning of the sub-block.
Use of the Tables for Generating Transmission Characters
Detection of a code violation does not necessarily show that
the Transmission Character in which the code violation was
detected is in error. Code violations may result from a prior
error that altered the running disparity of the bit stream which
did not result in a detectable error at the Transmission Character in which the error occurred. Table 23 shows an example
of this behavior.
The appropriate entry in the table shall be found for the Valid
Data byte or the Special Character byte for which a Transmission Character is to be generated (encoded). The current value of the Transmitter’s running disparity shall be used to select
the Transmission Character from its corresponding column.
For each Transmission Character transmitted, a new value of
the running disparity shall be calculated. This new value shall

Notes:
33. All codes not shown are reserved.
34. Notation for Special Character Code Name is consistent with Fibre Channel and ESCON naming conventions. Special Character Code Name is intended to
describe binary information present on I/O pins. Common usage for the name can either be in the form used for describing Data patterns (i.e., C0.0 through
C31.7), or in hex notation (i.e., Cnn where nn = the specified value between 00 and FF).
35. Both the Cypress and alternate encodings may be used for data transmission to generate specific Special Character Codes. The decoding process for received
characters generates Cypress codes or Alternate codes as selected by the RXMODE[1:0] configuration inputs.
36. These characters are used for control of ESCON interfaces. They can be sent as embedded commands or other markers when not operating using ESCON
protocols.
37. The K28.5 character is used for framing operations by the receiver. It is also the pad or fill character transmitted to maintain the serial link when no user data
is available.
38. Care must be taken when using this Special Character code. When a C7.0 is followed by a D11.x or D20.x, or when an SVS (C0.7) is followed by a D11.x,
an alias K28.5 sync character is created. These sequences can cause erroneous framing and should be avoided while RFEN = HIGH.
39. C2.1 = Transmit either −K28.5+ or +K28.5− as determined by Current RD and modify the Transmission Character that follows, by setting its least significant
bit to 1 or 0. If Current RD at the start of the following character is plus (+) the LSB is set to 0, and if Current RD is minus (−) the LSB becomes 1. This
modification allows construction of X3.230 “EOF” frame delimiters wherein the second data byte is determined by the Current RD.
For example, to send “EOFdt” the controller could issue the sequence C2.1−D21.4− D21.4−D21.4, and the HOTLink Transmitter will send either K28.5−D21.4−
D21.4−D21.4 or K28.5−D21.5− D21.4−D21.4 based on Current RD. Likewise to send “EOFdti” the controller could issue the sequence C2.1−D10.4−D21.4−
D21.4, and the HOTLink Transmitter will send either K28.5−D10.4−D21.4− D21.4 or K28.5−D10.5−D21.4− D21.4 based on Current RD.
The receiver will never output this Special Character, since K28.5 is decoded as C5.0, C1.7, or C2.7, and the subsequent bytes are decoded as data.
40. C0.7 = Transmit a deliberate code rule violation. The code chosen for this function follows the normal Running Disparity rules. Transmission of this Special
Character has the same effect as asserting TXSVS = HIGH. The receiver will only output this Special Character if the Transmission Character being decoded
is not found in the tables.
41. C1.7 = Transmit Negative K28.5 (−K28.5+) disregarding Current RD. The receiver will only output this Special Character if K28.5 is received with the wrong
running disparity. The receiver will output C1.7 if −K28.5 is received with RD+, otherwise K28.5 is decoded as C5.0 or C2.7.
42. C2.7 = Transmit Positive K28.5 (+K28.5−) disregarding Current RD. The receiver will only output this Special Character if K28.5 is received with the wrong
running disparity. The receiver will output C2.7 if +K28.5 is received with RD−, otherwise K28.5 is decoded as C5.0 or C1.7.
43. C4.7 = Transmit a deliberate code rule violation to indicate a Running Disparity violation. The receiver will only output this Special Character if the Transmission
Character being decoded is found in the tables, but Running Disparity does not match. This might indicate that an error occurred in a prior byte.
44. Supported only for data transmission. The receive status for these conditions will be reported by specific combinations of receive status bits.
