SY58627L DC-to-6.4Gbps Backplane Receive Buffer with Four Stage Programmable Equalization and DC-Offset Control General Description The SY58627L high-speed, low jitter receive buffer is optimized for backplane and transmission line data-path management applications. The SY58627L is capable of receiving serial data up to 6.4Gbps across up to 36 inches of FR4. The SY58627L differential input includes Micrel’s unique, 3-pin input termination architecture that directly interfaces to any differential signal as small as 100mVpk (AC- or DC-coupled) without any termination resistor networks in the signal path. The outputs are 50Ω source-terminated CML optimized to drive 400mVpk into 50Ω (100Ω load across the output pair). The I/O termination is connected to a dedicated VTT pin for added bias flexibility. The SY58627L receiver input provides four levels of equalization to compensate for degraded signals resulting from transmission losses. The equalization is programmed with a three-bit interface. The SY58627L operates at 3.3V ±10% supply and is guaranteed over the full industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The SY58627L is part of Micrel’s high® speed, Precision Edge product line.

SY58627L Pin Description Pin Number 3, 4 6 7 27 23 15 10 11, 12 January 2006 Pin Name Pin Function RXIN, /RXIN Differential receiver input pair: This input pair is the differential signal input to the device. It accepts AC- or DC-coupled signals as small as 100mV (200mVPP). The signal detect (SD Level) includes a small amount of hysteresis to prevent the signal detect output from oscillating when no signal is present. RXIN and /RXIN internally terminate to the VTTIN pin through 50Ω. Please refer to the “Input Interface Applications” section for more details. RXIN, /RXIN differential inputs recommended be ≥ 90mVPK to ensure valid outputs. Consider disabling the outputs when the differential input is not present, or < 90mVPK (e.g.: Hot Swap Applications). VTTIN Input termination center-tap: RXIN and /RXIN terminate to VTTIN. The VTTIN pin provides a center-tap to the internal termination network for maximum interface flexibility, and DC-offset capability. Please refer to the “Input Interface Applications” section for more details. VREF-AC Reference voltage: This output biases to VCC-0.84V. It is used for AC-coupling the input pair (RXIN, /RXIN). Connect VREF-AC directly to the VTTIN pin. Bypass with 0.01µF low ESR capacitor to VCC. Maximum sink/source current is ±1.5mA. Due to the limited drive capability, the VREF-AC pin is only intended to drive the VTTIN pin. Leave VREF-AC pin floating when not used. Please refer to the “Input Interface Applications” section for more details. VTH Input logic threshold control voltage for logic control threshold settings other than LVTTL/CMOS. This input control pin can be externally biased to set the proper threshold for all the logic control pins, /RXEN, LBSEL, 3-bit equalization control, and /RXLBEN. For standard LVTTL/CMOS control, simply leave the VTH pin floating and the threshold voltage defaults to VCC/2 (When VEE = 0V). For LVPECL thresholds, set VTH to VCC-1.3V. /RXEN TTL/CMOS (or VTH controlled) compatible control input for the RXQ output pair. When pulled HIGH, the RXQ output pair is disabled. This input is internally connected to a 25kΩ pull-down resistor and will default to a logic LOW state (Enable) if left open. When disabled, the RXQ output goes LOW, and /RXQ output goes HIGH. Default threshold is VCC/2 when VTH pin is floating. /RXLBEN TTL/CMOS (or VTH controlled) compatible control input for RXLBQ output pair. When pulled HIGH, the RXLBQ output pair is disabled. This input is internally connected to a 25kΩ pull-down resistor and will default to a logic LOW state (Enable) if left open. When disabled, the RXLBQ output goes LOW, and /RXLBQ output goes HIGH. Default threshold is VCC/2 when VTH pin is floating. In normal operating mode when the RXLBQ output pair is not needed, disable the RXLBQ output pair (/RXLBEN = HIGH) to minimize noise. LBSEL TXLBIN, /TXLBIN Loopback MUX select control: The TTL/CMOS (or VTH controlled) compatible input selects the input to the Loopback mode multiplexer. When LBSEL input is logic HIGH, Loopback mode is selected, and the TXLBIN input pair is selected to pass through the RXQ and RXLBQ output pairs. Note that the LBSEL pin is internally connected to a 25kΩ pull-down resistor and will default to a logic LOW state if left open (normal operation). The Loopback MUX includes internal input isolation to minimize crosstalk. Loopback differential input pair: AC-coupled, CML-compatible input. This input pair includes internal termination connected to an internal VBB for an AC-coupled bias configuration. For local Loopback operation, the TXLBIN input pair receives a signal from the SY58626L transmitter TXLBQ output pair. The input signal from TXLBIN does not have any equalization. When the SY58627L Loopback mode is selected (LBSEL = HIGH), the signal at TXLBIN is directed to the RXQ and RXLBQ output pairs. 4 M9999-010606-A [email protected] or (408) 955-1690 Micrel, Inc. SY58627L Pin Description (Continued) Pin Number 13, 14 21, 19 26 20 Pin Name Pin Function Receiver loopback CML compatible output pair. When the SY58627L is in local Loopback mode (LBSEL = 1), RXLBQ output is directed from TXLBIN (no equalization). When the SY58627L is in normal mode (LBSEL = LOW) and the RXLBQ output is not required, disable the RXLBQ output (/RXLBEN = HIGH) to minimize switching noise. This differential output pair is optimized to drive 400mVPK swing into a 50Ω load (100Ω across the pair). The RXLBQ output pair includes 50Ω internal source termination resistors. RXLBQ, /RXLBQ Receiver differential CML compatible output pair: This CML-compatible output pair is the equalized signal seen at the RXIN input pair and is optimized to drive 400mVPK swing into a 50Ω load (100Ω across the pair). The RXQ output pair includes 50Ω internal source termination resistors. When the SY58627L is in Loopback mode (LBSEL = HIGH), the RXQ output signal is directed from the unequalized TXLBIN input. RXQ, /RXQ Loss-of-Signal output. This LVTTL/CMOS output signal switches LOW when the signal is valid and switches HIGH when the signal is not valid. This open-collector output includes an internal 5kΩ pull-up resistor. Input signal valid, LOS = LOW, RXIN swing is >110mVPK (220mVPP). Input signal not valid, LOS = HIGH, RXIN swing is <90mVPK (180mVPP) LOS Output termination center-tap: Each side of the RXQ differential output pair terminates to the VTTOUT pin through 50Ω. The VTTOUT pin provides a center-tap to the output termination network for maximum interface flexibility, and DC-offset capability. Please refer to the “CML Output Interface Applications” section for more details. VTTOUT TTL/CMOS (or VTH controlled) compatible, 3-bit control interface. There are four levels of equalization, as shown in the “Equalization Select Truth Table.” When the MSB is logic HIGH, the RXQ output pair will not include any equalization. 28 EQ2( MSB) 29 EQ1 001 = medium equalization setting 30 EQ0 010 = medium-high equalization setting 000 = lowest equalization setting 011 = highest equalization setting 100 = equalization bypass 1, 8, 9, 16, 17, 24, 25 VCC 2, 5, 18, 22, 31, 32 VEE, Exposed Pad Positive Power Supply: Connect to +3.3V power supply.

SY58627L Loopback The SY58627L features a loopback test mode, activated by setting LBSEL to logic HIGH. Using the SY58627L with the SY58626L enables local loopback and link side loopback, shown in Figures 2b and 2c. This mode enables an external loopback path, bypassing circuitry on both local and link side. Please refer to Table 1 and Figure 3 for Loopback Control information. Detailed Description The SY58627L is a high speed, low jitter receive buffer with integrated loopback capability. This buffer also provides input signal detect and output disable. Four selectable levels of equalization are included with the receiver. Equalization allows for faster data rates and longer distances by reducing the effects of intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by long cable and trace lengths. Input equalization supports data rates up to 6.4Gbps. DC-Offset Capability The SY58627L transmitter includes the VTTIN and VTTOUT pin for maximum interface flexibility and DCoffset capability for the input and output, respectively. This feature allows for interfacing with different logic families without the use of AC-coupling. The output buffer has internal 50Ω source terminated CML outputs for minimizing round-trip reflections. Transmitter Disable and Shutdown The SY58627L disable function is initiated by pulling /RXEN to logic HIGH. In disable mode, RXQ goes to a LOW state and /RXQ goes to a HIGH state. The threshold for /RXEN is set with the VTH pin. When the VTH pin is floating, the VTH levels are TTL/CMOS compatible with a threshold voltage at VCC/2 (VEE = 0V). For PECL compatible levels, apply a VCC-1.3V voltage at the VTH pin. Please refer to the “Typical Operating Characteristics” for more details. Figure 2a. Normal Operation Loss-of-Signal The SY58627L RXIN input pair provides a TTL signal detect output. The LOS output de-asserts LOW when the swing at RXIN is greater than 110mVPK (220mVPP). SD output asserts HIGH when RXIN swing is less than 90mVPK (180mVPP). Hysteresis is included in the LOS output to prevent oscillation when no signal is present at the RXIN input. LOS can be tied to /RXEN and /RXLBEN to provide a valid output when input amplitude is <90mVPK or disabled. Figure 2b.
