The Si5020 is a fully-integrated low-power clock and data recovery (CDR)
IC designed for high-speed serial communication systems. It extracts timing
information and data from a serial input at OC-48/12/3, STM-16/4/1, or
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) rates. Support for 2.7 Gbps data streams is also
provided for OC-48/STM-16 applications that employ forward error
correction (FEC). DSPLL technology eliminates sensitive noise entry points,
making the PLL less susceptible to board-level interaction and helping to
ensure optimal jitter performance.

swing of the signal applied to the active input must exceed the specified minimum Differential Input Voltage Swing (VID
min) and the unused input must be ac coupled to ground. When driving differentially, the difference between the positive
and negative input signals must exceed VID min. (Each individual input signal needs to swing only half of this range.) In
either case, the voltage applied to any individual pin (DIN+, DIN–, REFCLK+, or REFCLK–) must not exceed the
specified maximum Input Voltage Range (VIS max).

4. Functional Description
The Si5020 utilizes a phase-locked loop (PLL) to
recover a clock synchronous to the input data stream.
This clock is used to retime the data, and both the
recovered clock and data are output synchronously via
current mode logic (CML) drivers. Optimal jitter
performance is obtained by using Silicon Laboratories'
DSPLL technology to eliminate the noise entry points
caused by external PLL loop filter components.
4.1. DSPLL™
The PLL structure (shown in Figure 1 on page 5) utilizes
Silicon Laboratories' DSPLL technology to eliminate the
need for external loop filter components found in
traditional PLL implementations. This is achieved by
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).
Because external loop filter components are not
required, sensitive noise entry points are eliminated,
making the DSPLL less susceptible to board-level noise
sources that make SONET/SDH jitter compliance
difficult to attain.
4.2. PLL Self-Calibration
The Si5020 achieves optimal jitter performance by
using self-calibration circuitry to set the loop gain
parameters within the DSPLL. For the self-calibration
circuitry to operate correctly, the power supply voltage
must exceed 2.25 V when calibration occurs. For best
performance, the user should force a self-calibration
once the supply has stabilized on powerup.
A self-calibration can be initiated by forcing a high-tolow transition on the powerdown control input, PWRDN/
CAL, while a valid reference clock is supplied to the
REFCLK input. The PWRDN/CAL input should be held
high at least 1 s before transitioning low to guarantee a
self-calibration. Several application circuits that could be
used to initiate a power-on self-calibration are provided
in Silicon Laboratories’ “AN42: Controlling DSPLL™
Self-Calibration for the Si5020/5018/5010 CDR Devices
and Si531x Clock Multiplier/Regenerator Devices.”
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
RATESEL0-1 pins. The RATESEL0-1 configuration and
associated data rates are given in Table 7.

4.4. Reference Clock Detect
The Si5020 CDR requires an external reference clock
applied to the REFCLK input for normal device
operation. When REFCLK is absent, the LOL alarm will
always be asserted when it has been determined that
no activity exists on REFCLK, indicating the frequency
lock status of the PLL is unknown. Additionally, the
Si5020 uses the reference clock to center the VCO
output frequency so that clock and data can be
recovered from the input data stream. The device self
configures for operation with one of three reference
clock frequencies. This eliminates the need to externally
configure the device to operate with a particular
reference clock.
The reference clock centers the VCO for a nominal
output of between 2.5 GHz and 2.7 GHz. The VCO
frequency is centered at 16, 32, or 128 times the
reference clock frequency. Detection circuitry
continuously monitors the reference clock input to
determine whether the device should be configured for
a reference clock that is 1/16, 1/32, or 1/128 the
nominal VCO output. Approximate reference clock
frequencies for some target applications are given in
Table 8.
Table 8. Typical REFCLK Frequencies
4.3. Multi-Rate Operation
The Si5020 supports clock and data recovery for OC-48
and STM-16 data streams. In addition, the PLL was
designed to operate at data rates up to 2.7 Gbps to
support OC-48/STM-16 applications that employ
forward error correction (FEC).

The Si5020 supports FEC in SONET OC-48 (SDH
STM-16) applications for data rates up to 2.7 Gbps. In
FEC applications, the appropriate reference clock
frequency is determined by dividing the input data rate
by 16, 32, or 128. For example, if an FEC code is used
that produces a 2.70 Gbps data rate, the required
reference clock would be 168.75, 84.375, or 21.09 MHz.

4.6. Lock Detect
The Si5020 provides lock-detect circuitry that indicates
whether the PLL has achieved frequency lock with the
incoming data. 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 7, the PLL is declared out-of-lock, and the loss-oflock (LOL) pin is asserted high. In this state, the PLL will
periodically try to reacquire lock with the incoming data
stream. During reacquisition, the recovered clock may
drift 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, under the
condition where data is removed from the inputs, there
is the possibility that the PLL will not drift enough to
render an out-of-lock condition.
If REFCLK is removed, the LOL output alarm will always
be asserted when it has been determined that no
activity exists on REFCLK, indicating the frequency lock
status of the PLL is unknown.
Note: LOL is not asserted during PWRDN/CAL.
4.7. PLL Performance
The PLL implementation used in the Si5020 is fully
compliant with the jitter specifications proposed for
SONET/SDH equipment by Bellcore GR-253-CORE,

4.7.2. Jitter Transfer
The Si5020 is fully compliant with the 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 (see
Figure 5). These measurements are made with an input
test signal that is degraded with sinusoidal jitter whose
magnitude is defined by the mask in Figure 4.
4.7.3. Jitter Generation
The Si5020 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
Si5020 typically generates less than 3.0 mUIrms of jitter
when presented with jitter-free input data.
4.7.1. Jitter Tolerance
The Si5020’s tolerance to input jitter exceeds that of the
Bellcore/ITU mask shown in Figure 4. 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.
Note: There are no entries in the mask table for the data rate
corresponding to OC-24 as that rate is not specified by
either GR-253 or G.958.

When PWRDN/CAL is released (set to low) the digital
logic resets to a known initial condition, recalibrates the
DSPLL, and will begin to lock to the data stream.

4.9. Device Grounding
0.1 dB
The Si5020 uses the GND pad on the bottom of the 20pin micro leaded package (MLP) for device ground. This
pad should be connected directly to the analog supply
ground. See Figures 10 and 12 for the ground (GND)
pad location.

4.10. Bias Generation Circuitry
The Si5020 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.

4.8. Powerdown
The Si5020 provides a powerdown pin, PWRDN/CAL,
that disables the output drivers (DOUT, CLKOUT).
When the PWRDN/CAL pin is driven high, the positive
and negative terminals of CLKOUT and DOUT are each
tied to VDD through 100  on-chip resistors. This
feature is useful in reducing power consumption in
applications that employ redundant serial channels.
The Si5020 provides differential inputs for both the highspeed data (DIN) and the reference clock (REFCLK)
inputs. An example termination for these inputs is
shown in Figure 6. In applications where direct dc
coupling is possible, the 0.1 F capacitors may be
omitted. The DIN and REFCLK input amplifiers require
an input signal with a minimum differential peak-to-peak
voltage listed in Table 2 on page 6.

4.12. Differential Output Circuitry
The Si5020 utilizes a current mode logic (CML) architecture to output both the recovered clock (CLKOUT) and data
(DOUT). An example of output termination with ac coupling is shown in Figure 9. In applications in which direct dc
coupling is possible, the 0.1 F capacitors may be omitted. The differential peak-to-peak voltage swing of the CML
architecture is listed in Table 2 on page 6.

3. The center thermal pad is to be Solder Mask Defined (SMD).
4. Thermal/Ground vias placed in the center pad should be no less than 0.2 mm (8 mil) diameter and tented from the top to prevent
solder from flowing into the via hole.
5. The stencil aperture should match the pad size (1:1 ratio) for the perimeter pads. A 3x3 array of 0.5 mm square stencil openings, on a
0.65 mm pitch, should be used for the center thermal pad.
6. A stencil thickness of 5 mil is recommended. The stencil should be laser cut and electropolished, with trapezoidal walls to facilitate
paste release.
7. A “No-Clean”, Type 3 solder paste should be used for assembly. Nitrogen purge during reflow is recommended.
8. Do not place any signal or power plane vias in these “keep out” regions.
