The Si5013 represents a new standard in low jitter, low power, small size,
and integration for high-speed LA/CDRs. It operates from a 3.3 V supply
over the industrial temperature range (–40 to 85 °C).

LOS
The Si5013 is a fully-integrated, high-performance limiting amplifier (LA)
and clock and data recovery (CDR) IC for high-speed serial
communication systems. It derives timing information and data from a
serial input at OC-12/3 and STM-4/1 rates. Use of an external reference
clock is optional. Silicon Laboratories DSPLL® technology eliminates
sensitive noise entry points, thus making the PLL less susceptible to
board-level interaction and helping to ensure optimal jitter performance.

4. Functional Description
The Si5013 integrates a high-speed limiting amplifier
with a multi-rate CDR unit. No external reference clock
is required for clock and data recovery. The limiting
amplifier magnifies very low-level input data signals so
that accurate clock and data recovery can be
performed. The CDR uses Silicon Laboratories DSPLL®
technology to recover a clock synchronous to the input
data stream. The recovered clock retimes the incoming
data, and both are output synchronously via currentmode logic (CML) drivers. Silicon Laboratories’ DSPLL
technology ensures superior jitter performance while
eliminating the need for external loop filter components
found in traditional phase-locked loop (PLL)
implementations.
traditional methods, and it eliminates performance
degradation caused by external component aging. In
addition, because external loop filter components are
not required, sensitive noise entry points are eliminated,
thus making the DSPLL less susceptible to board-level
noise sources and making SONET/SDH jitter
compliance easier to attain in the application.
4.3. Multi-Rate Operation
The Si5013 supports clock and data recovery for OC12/3 and STM-4/1 data streams.
Multi-rate operation is achieved by configuring the
device to divide down the output of the VCO to the
desired data rate. The divide factor is configured by the
RATESEL pin. The RATESEL configuration and
associated data rates are given in Table 7.
The limiting amplifier includes a control input for
adjusting the data slicing level and provides a loss-ofsignal level alarm output. The CDR includes a bit error
rate performance monitor which signals a high bit error
rate condition (associated with excessive incoming
jitter) relative to an externally adjustable bit error rate
threshold.
The optional reference clock minimizes the CDR
acquisition time and provides a stable reference for
maintaining the output clock when locking to a reference
is desired.
4.1. Limiting Amplifier
The limiting amplifier accepts the low-level signal output
from a transimpedance amplifier (TIA). The low-level
signal is amplified to a usable level for the CDR unit. The
minimum input swing requirement is specified in Table 2
on page 7. Larger input amplitudes (up to the maximum
input swing specified in Table 2) are accommodated
without degradation of performance. The limiting
amplifier ensures optimal data slicing by using a digital
dc offset cancellation technique to remove any dc bias
introduced by the amplification stage.
4.2. DSPLL®
The Si5013 PLL structure (shown in the "1. Detailed
Block Diagram" on page 4) utilizes Silicon Laboratories'
DSPLL technology to maintain superior jitter
performance while eliminating the need for external loop
filter
components
found
in
traditional
PLL
implementations. This is achieved using a digital signal
processing (DSP) algorithm to replace the loop filter
commonly found in analog PLL designs. This algorithm
processes the phase detector error term and generates
a digital control value to adjust the frequency of the
voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). This technology
enables CDR with far less jitter than is generated using

4.4. Operation Without an External Reference
The Si5013 can perform clock and data recovery
without an external reference clock. Tying the
REFCLK+ input to VDD and the REFCLK– input to
GND configures the device to operate without an
external reference clock. Clock recovery is achieved by
monitoring the timing quality of the incoming data
relative to the VCO frequency. Lock is maintained by
continuously monitoring the incoming data timing quality
and adjusting the VCO accordingly. Details of the lock
detection and the lock-to-reference functions while in
this mode are described in their respective sections
below.
Note: Without an external reference the acquisition of data is
dependent solely on the data itself and typically
requires more time to acquire lock than when a reference is applied.
4.5. Operation With an External Reference
The Si5013 can also perform clock and data recovery
with an external reference. The device’s optional
external reference clock centers the DSPLL, minimizes
the acquisition time, and maintains a stable output clock
(CLKOUT) when lock-to-reference (LTR) is asserted.
When the reference clock is present, the Si5013 uses
the reference clock to center the VCO output frequency
so that clock and data is recovered from the input data
stream. The device self configures for operation with
one of three reference clock frequencies. This
Rev. 1.6
Si5013
When an external reference clock is provided, the circuit
compares the frequency of a divided-down version of
the recovered clock with the frequency of the applied
reference clock (REFCLK). If the recovered clock
frequency deviates from that of the reference clock by
the amount specified in Table 4 on page 9, the PLL is
declared out of lock, and the loss-of-lock (LOL) pin is
asserted. In this state, the PLL will periodically try to
reacquire lock with the incoming data stream. During
reacquisition, the recovered clock frequency (CLKOUT)
drifts over a ±600 ppm range relative to the applied
reference clock and the LOL output alarm may toggle
until the PLL has reacquired frequency lock. Due to the
low noise and stability of the DSPLL, there is the
possibility that the PLL will not drift enough to render an
out-of-lock condition, even if the data is removed from
inputs.
Note: The LOS circuit is designed to only work with pseudorandom, dc-balanced data.

In the absence of an external reference, the lock detect
circuitry uses a data quality measure to determine when
frequency lock has been lost with the incoming data
stream. During reacquisition, CLKOUT may vary by
approximately ±10% from the nominal data rate.

4.7. Lock-to-Reference
When an external reference clock is present, assertion
of LTR forces the DSPLL to lock CLKOUT to the
provided reference. If no external reference clock is
used, LTR forces the DSPLL to hold the digital
frequency control input to the VCO at the last value.
This produces a stable output clock as long as supply
and temperature are constant.
40mV/V
0 mV
In applications requiring a more stable output clock
during out-of-lock conditions, the lock-to-reference
(LTR) input can be used to force the PLL to lock to the
externally supplied reference.
The LTR input can be used to force a stable output
clock when an alarm condition, like LOS, exists. In
typical applications, the LOS output is tied to the LTR
input to force a stable output clock when the input data
signal is lost. When LTR is asserted, the DSPLL is
prevented from acquiring the data signal present on
DIN. The operation of the LTR control input depends on
which reference clocking mode is used.

The Si5013 provides lock-detect circuitry that indicates
whether the PLL has achieved frequency lock with the
incoming data. The operation of the lock-detector
depends on the reference clock option used.
The Si5013 indicates a loss-of-signal condition on the
LOS output pin when the input peak-to-peak signal level
on DIN falls below an externally controlled threshold.
The LOS threshold range is specified in Table 3 on
page 8 and is set by applying a voltage on the LOS_LVL
pin. The graph in Figure 6 illustrates the LOS_LVL
mapping to the LOS threshold. The LOS output is
asserted when the input signal drops below the
programmed peak-to-peak value. If desired, the LOS
function may be disabled by grounding LOS_LVL or by
adjusting LOS_LVL to be less than 1 V.

LOS Alarm
Figure 7. LOS Signal Hysteresis
In many applications it is desirable to produce a fixed
amount of signal hysteresis for an alarm indicator such
as LOS, since a marginal data input signal could cause
intermittent toggling, leading to false alarm status.
When it is anticipated that very low-level DIN signals will
be encountered, the introduction of an adequate
amount of LOS hysteresis is recommended to minimize
any undesirable LOS signal toggling. Figure 7 illustrates
a simple circuit that may be used to set a fixed level of
Rev. 1.6

Si5013
LOS signal hysteresis for the Si5013 CDR. The value of
R1 may be chosen to provide a range of hysteresis from
3 to 8 dB where a nominal value of 800  adjusts the
hysteresis level to approximately 6 dB. Use a value of
500  or 1000  for R1 to provide 3 dB or 8 dB of
hysteresis, respectively.
Hysteresis is defined as the ratio of the LOS deassert
level (LOSD) and the LOS assert level (LOSA). The
hysteresis in decibels is calculated as 20log(LOSD/
LOSA).
4.9. Bit Error Rate (BER) Detection
The Si5013 uses a proprietary Silicon Laboratories
algorithm to generate a bit-error-rate (BER) alarm on
the BER_ALM pin if the observed BER is greater than a
user programmable threshold. Bit error detection relies
on the input data edge timing; edges occurring outside
of the expected event window are counted as bit errors.
The BER threshold is programmed by applying a
voltage to the BER_LVL pin between 500 mV and
2.25 V corresponding to a BER of approximately 10–10
and 10–6, respectively. The voltage present on
BER_LVL maps to the BER as follows: log10(BER) = (4
x BER_LVL) – 13. (BER_LVL is in volts; BER is in bits
per second.).
4.10. Data Slicing Level
The Si5013 provides the ability to externally adjust the
slicing level for applications that require bit error rate
(BER) optimization. Adjustments in slicing level of
±15 mV (typical, relative to the internally set input
common mode voltage) are supported. The slicing level
is set by applying a voltage between 0.75 and 2.25 V to
the SLICE_LVL input. See Figure 8 for the operation
levels of the slice circuit.
When SLICE_LVL is driven below 500 mV, the slicing
level adjustment is disabled, and the slicing level is set
to the cross-point of the differential input signal.
Note: The slice circuit is designed to only work with pseudorandom, dc-balanced data.
4.11. PLL Performance
The PLL implementation used in the Si5013 is fully
compliant with the jitter specifications proposed for
SONET/SDH equipment by Bellcore GR-253-CORE,
Issue 3, September 2000 and ITU-T G.958.
4.11.1. Jitter Tolerance
The Si5013’s tolerance to input jitter exceeds that of the
Bellcore/ITU mask shown in Figure 8. This mask
defines the level of peak-to-peak sinusoid jitter that
must be tolerated when applied to the differential data
input of the device.

4.11.2. Jitter Transfer
The Si5013 exceeds all relevant Bellcore/ITU
specifications related to SONET/SDH jitter transfer.
Jitter transfer is defined as the ratio of output signal jitter
to input signal jitter as a function of jitter frequency.
These measurements are made with an input test signal
that is degraded with sinusoidal jitter whose magnitude
is defined by the mask in Figure 9.

4.14. Data Squelch
The Si5013 provides a data squelching pin (DSQLCH)
that is used to set the recovered data output (DOUT) to
binary zero. When the DSQLCH pin is asserted, the
DOUT+ signal is held low and the DOUT– signal is held
high. This pin can be is used to squelch corrupt data
during LOS and LOL situations. Care must be taken
when ac coupling these outputs; a long string of zeros
or ones will not be held through ac coupling capacitors.
4.15. Device Grounding
20 dB/Decade
Slope
The Si5013 uses the GND pad on the bottom of the 28pin micro leaded package (QFN) for device ground. This
pad should be connected directly to the analog supply
ground. See Figure 15 on page 19 and Figure 16 on
page 23 for the ground (GND) pad location.

The Si5013 makes use of an external resistor to set
internal bias currents. The external resistor allows
precise generation of bias currents which significantly
reduces power consumption versus traditional
implementations that use an internal resistor. The bias
generation circuitry requires a 10 k (1%) resistor
connected between REXT and GND.

4.11.3. Jitter Generation
The Si5013 exceeds all relevant specifications for jitter
generation proposed for SONET/SDH equipment. The
jitter generation specification defines the amount of jitter
that may be present on the recovered clock and data
outputs when a jitter free input signal is provided. The
Si5013 typically generates less than 3.0 mUIrms of jitter
when presented with jitter-free input data.
4.12. RESET/DSPLL Calibration
The Si5013 achieves optimal jitter performance by
automatically calibrating the loop gain parameters within
the DSPLL on powerup. Calibration may also be
initiated by a high-to-low transition on the RESET/CAL
pin. The RESET/CAL pin must be held high for at least
1 µs. When RESET/CAL is released (set to low) the
digital logic resets to a known initial condition,
recalibrates the DSPLL, and begins to lock to the
incoming data stream. For a valid reset to occur when
using Reference mode, a proper, external reference
clock frequency must be applied.
4.13. Clock Disable
The Si5013 provides a clock disable pin (CLK_DSBL)
that is used to disable the recovered clock output
(CLKOUT). When the CLK_DSBL pin is asserted, the
4.17. Voltage Regulator
The Si5013 operates from a 3.3 V external supply
voltage. Internally the device operates from a 2.5 V
supply. The Si5013 regulates 2.5 V internally down from
the external 3.3 V supply.
In addition to supporting 3.3 V systems, the on-chip
linear regulator offers better power supply noise
rejection versus a direct 2.5 V supply.
4.18. Differential Input Circuitry
The Si5013 provides differential inputs for both the highspeed data (DIN) and the reference clock (REFCLK)
inputs. An example termination for these inputs is
shown in Figures 10 and 11, respectively. In
applications where direct dc coupling is possible, the
0.1 µF capacitors may be omitted. (LOS operation is
only guaranteed when ac coupled.) The data input
limiting amplifier requires an input signal with a
differential peak-to-peak voltage as specified in Table 2
on page 7 to ensure a BER of at least 10–12. The
REFCLK input differential peak-to-peak voltage
requirement is also specified in Table 2.
