FIN24C µSerDes™Low-Voltage 24-Bit Bi-Directional Serializer/Deserializer tm Features General Description ■ Low power for minimum impact on battery life The FIN24C µSerDes™ is a low-power Serializer/ Deserializer (SerDes) that can help minimize the cost and power of transferring wide signal paths. Through the use of serialization, the number of signals transferred from one point to another can be significantly reduced. Typical reduction is 4:1 to 6:1 for unidirectional paths. For bi-directional operation, using half duplex for multiple sources, it is possible to increase the signal reduction to close to 10:1. Through the use of differential signaling, shielding and EMI filters can also be minimized, further reducing the cost of serialization. The differential signaling is also important for providing a noise-insensitive signal that can withstand radio and electrical noise sources. Major reduction in power consumption allows minimal impact on battery life in ultra-portable applications. A unique word boundary technique assures that the actual word boundary is identified when the data is deserialized. This guarantees that each word is correctly aligned at the deserializer on a word-by-word basis through a unique sequence of clock and data that is not repeated except at the word boundary. A single PLL is adequate for most applications, including bi-directional operation. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ – Multiple power-down modes – AC coupling with DC balance 100nA in standby mode, 5mA typical operating conditions Cable reduction: 25:4 or greater Bi-directional operation 50:7 reduction or greater Up to 24 bits in either direction Up to 20MHz parallel interface operation Voltage translation from 1.65V to 3.6V Ultra-small and cost-effective packaging High ESD protection: >7.5kV HBM Parallel I/O power supply (VDDP) range between 1.65V to 3.6V Applications ■ Micro-controller or pixel interfaces ■ Image sensors ■ Small displays – LCD, cell phone, digital camera, portable gaming, printer, PDA, video camera, automotive Ordering Information Order Number Package Number Pb-Free FIN24CGFX BGA042 Yes 42-Ball Ultra Small Scale Ball Grid Array (USS-BGA), JEDEC MO-195, 3.5mm Wide FIN24CMLX MLP040 Yes 40-Terminal Molded Leadless Package (MLP), Quad, JEDEC MO-220, 6mm Square Package Description Pb-Free package per JEDEC J-STD-020B.

This value only changes if the device is once again turned around into a deserializer and the values are overwritten. The FIN24C has four signals that are selectable as two unidirectional inputs and two unidirectional outputs, or as four unidirectional inputs or four unidirectional outputs. These are often used by applications for control signals. The mode signals S1 and S2 determine the direction of the DP[21:24] data signals. The 00 state provides for a power-down state where all functionality of the device is disabled or reset. The DIRI terminal controls the direction of the device in Modes 1 and 3. When in Mode 2, the direction is controlled by both the DIRI and STROBE signals. Table 1 provides a complete description of the various modes of operation. For unidirectional operation, the DIRI terminal should be hardwired to a valid logic level and the DIRO terminal should be left floating. For bidirectional operation, the DIRO of the master device should be connected to the DIRI of the slave device. When the device is in Mode 2 (S2 = 1, S1 = 0), the direction of operation is dependent upon both the STROBE signal and the DIRI signal. At power-up, the mode select signals are both LOW and the DIRO signal is the inversion of the DIRI signal. After power-up, the DIRI and STROBE signal should initially both be HIGH. When STROBE goes LOW the device is configured as a serializer and DIRO will be forced LOW. The device remains a serializer until the DIRI signal goes LOW. When DIRI goes LOW, the device is re-configured as a deserializer and the DIRO signal is asserted HIGH. When operating the SerDes in pairs, not all operating modes are compatible. Regardless of the mode of operation, the serializer is always sending 24 bits of data and two word boundary bits. The deserializer is always receiving 24 bits of data and two word boundary bits. For some modes of operation, not all of the data bits are valid because some pins are dedicated inputs or outputs. A value of “0” is sent in the serial stream for all invalid data bits. When operating in a bi-directional mode, the turn-around functionality is dependent on the mode of the device. For Modes 1 and 3, the device asynchronously passes and inverts the DIRI signal through the device to the DIRO signal. Care must be taken during design to ensure that no contention occurs between the deserializer outputs and the other devices on this port. Optimally the peripheral device driving the serializer should be in a HIGHimpedance state prior to the DIRI signal being asserted. Table 1.

When operating in this mode, 24 data and control bits can be sent from the master to the slave and 20 data bits can be sent from the slave to the master. Unidirectional control signals should be connected to DP[21:24]. Mode 0 is used for powering down and resetting the device. When both of the mode signals are driven to a LOW state, the PLL and references are disabled, differential input buffers are shut off, differential output buffers are placed into a HIGH-impedance state, LVCMOS outputs are placed into a HIGH-impedance state, LVCMOS inputs are driven to a valid level internally, and all internal circuitry is reset. The loss of CKREF state is also enabled to ensure that the PLL only powers up if there is a valid CKREF signal. 2-Bit Control Mode When operating in 2-bit control mode, both devices must be configured in MODE 3 (S2 = S1 = “1”). In this mode, 22 bits can be sent in either direction. When operating in a 2-bit control mode, serialized bits 21 and 22 appear on outputs 23 and 24 of the deserializer. ©2005 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation FIN24C Rev. 1.0.2 In a typical application, the device only changes between the power-down mode and the selected mode of operation. This allows for system-level power-down functionality to be implemented via a single wire for a SerDes pair. The S1 and S2 selection signals that have their operating mode driven to a “logic 0” should be hardwired to GND. The S1 and S2 signals that have their operating mode driven to a “logic 1” should be connected to a system level power-down signal. www.fairchildsemi.com 6 FIN24C µSerDes™Low-Voltage 24-Bit Bi-Directional Serializer/Deserializer 4-Bit Control Mode The serializer configuration is described in the following sections. The basic serialization circuitry works essentially the same in these modes, but the actual data and clock streams differ depending on if CKREF is the same as the STROBE signal or not. When CKREF equals STROBE, the CKREF and STROBE signals are hardwired together as one signal. When CKREF does not equal STROBE, each signal is distinct and CKREF must be running at a frequency high enough to avoid any loss of data condition. CKREF must never be a lower frequency than STROBE. Serializer Operation: (Figure 4) DIRI = 1, CKREF = STROBE The Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) must receive a stable CKREF signal to achieve lock prior to any valid data being sent. The CKREF signal can be used as the data STROBE signal, provided that data can be ignored during the PLL lock phase. Once the PLL is stable and locked, the device can begin to capture and serialize data. Data is captured on the rising edge of the STROBE signal and then serialized. The serialized data stream is synchronized and sent source synchronously with a bit clock with an embedded word boundary. Serialized data is sent at 26 times the CKREF clock rate. Two additional data bits are sent that define the word boundary. When in this mode, the internal deserializer circuitry is disabled; including the serial clock, serial data input buffers, the bidirectional parallel outputs, and the CKP word clock. The CKP word clock is driven HIGH. DPI[1:24] WORD n-1 WORD n WORD n+1 CKREF b24 b25 b26 DSO b1 b2 b3 b4 b22 b23 b24 b25 b26 b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 CKS0 WORD n-2 WORD n-1 WORD n Figure 4. Serializer Timing Diagram (CKREF equals STROBE) Serializer Operation: (Figure 5), DIRI = 1, CKREF does not = STROBE If the same signal is not used for CKREF and STROBE, the CKREF signal must be run at a higher frequency than the STROBE rate to serialize the data correctly. The actual serial transfer rate remains at 26 times the CKREF frequency. A data bit value of zero is sent when no valid data is present in the serial bit stream. The operation of the serializer otherwise remains the same. The exact frequency that the reference clock needs is dependent upon the stability of the CKREF and STROBE signal. If the source of the CKREF signal implements spread spectrum technology, the maximum frequency of this spread spectrum clock should be used in calculating the ratio of STROBE frequency to the CKREF frequency. Similarly if the STROBE signal has significant cycle-tocycle variation, the maximum cycle-to-cycle time needs to be factored into the selection of the CKREF frequency.

This mode is enabled by grounding the CKREF signal and driving the DIRI signal HIGH. At power-up, the device is configured to accept a serialization clock from CKSI. If a CKREF is received, the device enables the CKREF serialization mode. The device remains in this mode even if CKREF is stopped. To re-enable this mode, the device must be powered down and powered back up with “logic 0” on CKREF.

The following two sections describe the operation of the deserializer under two distinct serializer source conditions. References to the CKREF and STROBE signals refer to the signals associated with the serializer device used in generating the serial data and clock signals that are inputs to the deserializer. When operating in this mode, the internal serializer circuitry is disabled, including the parallel data input buffers. If there is a CKREF signal provided, the CKSO serial clock continues to transmit bit clocks. Upon device power-up (S1 or S2 = 1), all deserializer output data pins are driven LOW until valid data is passed through the deserializer. Deserializer Operation: DIRI = 0 (Serializer Source: CKREF = STROBE) When the DIRI signal is asserted LOW, the device is configured as a deserializer. Data is captured on the serial port and deserialized through use of the bit clock sent with the data. The word boundary is defined in the actual clock and data signal. Parallel data is generated at the time the word boundary is detected. The falling edge of CKP occurs approximately six bit times after the next falling edge of CKSI. The rising edge of CKP goes HIGH approximately 13 bit times after CKP goes LOW. When no embedded word boundary occurs, no pulse is generated on CKP and CKP remains HIGH.

Deserializer Timing Diagram (Serializer Source: CKREF equals STROBE) Deserializer Operation: DIRI = 0 (Serializer Source: CKREF does not = STROBE) The logical operation of the deserializer remains the same if the CKREF is equal in frequency to the STROBE or at a higher frequency than the STROBE. The actual serial data stream presented to the deserializer, however, differs because it has non-valid data bits sent between words. The duty cycle of CKP varies based on the ratio of the frequency of the CKREF signal to the STROBE signal. The frequency of the CKP signal is equal to the STROBE frequency. The falling edge of CKP occurs six bit times after the data transition. The LOW time of the CKP signal is equal to half (13 bit times) of the CKREF period. The CKP HIGH time is equal to STROBE period – half of the CKREF period. Figure 8 is representative of a waveform that could be seen when CKREF is not equal to STROBE. If CKREF is significantly faster, additional non-valid data bits occur between data words.

If a FIN24C devices is configured as an unidirectional serializer, unused data I/O can be treated as unused inputs. If the FIN24C is hardwired as a deserializer, unused date I/O can be treated as unused outputs. The FIN24C sends and receives serial data source synchronously with a bit clock. The bit clock has been modified to create a word boundary at the end of each data word. The word boundary has been implemented by skipping a LOW clock pulse. This appears in the serial clock stream as three consecutive bit times where signal CKSO remains HIGH. From Deserializer To implement this sort of scheme, two extra data bits are required. During the word boundary phase, the data toggles either HIGH-then-LOW or LOW-then-HIGH dependent upon the last bit of the actual data word. Table 2 provides some examples of the actual data word and the data word with the word boundary bits added. Note that a 24-bit word is extended to 26 bits during serial transmission. Bit 25 and Bit 26 are defined with-respect-to Bit 24. Bit 25 is always the inverse of Bit 24 and Bit 26 is always the same as Bit 24. This ensures that a “0” → “1” and a “1” → “0” transition always occurs during the embedded word phase where CKSO is HIGH. DP[n] To Serializer From Control Figure 9. LVCMOS I/O Differential I/O Circuitry The FIN24C employs FSC proprietary CTL I/O technology. CTL is a low-power, low-EMI differential swing I/O technology. The CTL output driver generates a constant output source and sink current. The CTL input receiver senses the current difference and direction from the output buffer to which it is connected. This differs from LVDS, which uses a constant current source output, but a voltage sense receiver. Like LVDS, an input source termination resistor is required to properly terminate the transmission line. The FIN24C device incorporates an internal termination resistor on the CKSI receiver and a gated internal termination resistor on the DS input receiver. The gated termination resistor ensures proper termination regardless of direction of data flow. The relatively greater sensitivity of the current sense receiver of CTL allows it to work at much lower current drive and a much lower voltage. The serializer generates the word boundary data bits and the boundary clock condition and embeds them into the serial data stream. The deserializer looks for the end of the word boundary condition to capture and transfer the data to the parallel port. The deserializer only uses the embedded word boundary information to find and capture the data. These boundary bits are stripped prior to the word being sent out the parallel port. LVCMOS Data I/O The LVCMOS input buffers have a nominal threshold value equal to half VDDP. The input buffers are only operational when the device is operating as a serializer. When the device is operating as a deserializer, the inputs are gated off to conserve power. The LVCMOS 3-STATE output buffers are rated for a source/sink current of 2mAs at 1.8V. The outputs are active when the DIRI signal is asserted LOW. When the DIRI signal is asserted HIGH, the bi-directional LVCMOS I/Os are in a HIGH-Z state. Under purely capacitive load conditions, the output swings between GND and VDDP. During power-down mode, the differential inputs are disabled and powered down and the differential outputs are placed in a HIGH-Z state. CTL inputs have an inherent fail-safe capability that supports floating inputs. When the CKSI input pair of the serializer is unused, it can reliably be left floating. Alternately both of the inputs can be connected to ground. CTL inputs should never be connected to VDD. When the CKSO output of the deserializer is unused, it should be allowed to float. Unused LVCMOS input buffers must be tied off to either a valid logic LOW or a valid logic HIGH level to prevent static current draw due to a floating input. Unused LVCMOS outputs should be left floating. Unused Table 2.

Bi-Directional Differential I/O Circuitry PLL Circuitry An alternate way of powering down the PLL is by stopping the CKREF signal either HIGH or LOW. Internal circuitry detects the lack of transitions and shuts the PLL and serial I/O down. Internal references, however, are not disabled, allowing the PLL to power-up and re-lock in a lesser number of clock cycles than when exiting Mode 0. When a transition is seen on the CKREF signal, the PLL is reactivated. The CKREF input signal is used to provide a reference to the PLL. The PLL generates internal timing signals capable of transferring data at 26 times the incoming CKREF signal. The output of the PLL is a bit clock sent with the serial data stream. There are two ways to disable the PLL: by entering the Application Mode Diagrams MODE = 3: Unidirectional Data Transfer BIT CK Gen.

Wait the specified number of clock cycles prior to capturing valid data into the parallel port. When the µSerDes chipset transitions from a power-down state (S1, S2 = 0, 0) to a powered state (example S1, S2 = 1, 1), CKP on the deserializer transitions LOW for a short duration, then returns HIGH. Following this, the signal level of the deserializer at CKP corresponds to the serializer signal levels.

The following best practices should be used when developing the flex cabling or Flex PCB: ■ Keep all four differential wires the same length. ■ Allow no noisy signals over or near differential serial wires. Example: No LVCMOS traces over differential wires. ■ Use only one ground plane or wire over the differential serial wires. Do not run ground over top and bottom. ■ Do not place test points on differential serial wires. ■ Use differential serial wires a minimum of 2cm away from the antenna. ©2005 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation FIN24C Rev. 1.0.2 www.fairchildsemi.com 12 FIN24C µSerDes™Low-Voltage 24-Bit Bi-Directional Serializer/Deserializer REFCK The “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed.

Typical Values are given for VDD = 2.775V and TA = 25°C. Positive current values refer to the current flowing into device and negative values refer to current flowing out of pins. Voltage is referenced to GROUND unless otherwise specified (except ΔVOD and VOD). 5. Skew is measured from either the rising or falling edge of CKSO clock to the rising or falling edge of data (DSO). Signals are edge aligned. Both outputs should have identical load conditions for this test to be valid. 6. The power-down time is a function of the CKREF frequency prior to CKREF being stopped HIGH or LOW and the state of the S1/S2 mode pins. The specific number of clock cycles required for the PLL to be disabled varies based on the operating mode of the device. 7. Signals are transmitted from the serializer source synchronously. In some cases, data is transmitted when the clock remains at a high state. Skew should only be measured when data and clock are transitioning at the same time. Total measured input skew is a combination of output skew from the serializer, load variations, and ISI and jitter effects. 8. Rising edge of CKP appears approximately 13 bit times after the falling edge of the CKP output. Falling edge of CKP occurs approximately eight bit times after a data transition or six bit times after the first falling edge of CSKO. Variation of the data with respect to the CKP signal is due to internal propagation delay differences of the data and CKP path and propagation delay differences on the various data pins. If the CKREF is not equal to STROBE for the serializer, the CKP signal does not maintain a 50% duty cycle. The low time of the CKP remains 13 bit times.
