General Description
The VSC7146 is a 2.5Gb/s Transceiver optimized for ease-of-use and efficiency in high-performance data
transmission systems. The VSC7146 accepts two 10-bit 8b/10b encoded transmit characters, latches them on
the rising edge of Transmit Byte Clock (TBC) and serializes the data onto the TX+/- differential outputs at a
baud rate, which is 20 times the TBC frequency. The VSC7146 also samples serial receive data on the RX+/differential inputs, recovers the clock and data, deserializes it onto two 10-bit receive characters, outputs a
recovered clocks at one-twentieth of the incoming baud rate and detects Fibre Channel “comma” characters.
The VSC7146 contains on-chip Phase-Lock Loop (PLL) circuitry for synthesis of the baud-rate transmit clock,
and extraction of the clock from the received serial stream. These circuits are fully monolithic and require no
external components.

VSC7146
2.5Gb/s, 20-Bit Transceiver
Functional Description
Clock Synthesizer
The VSC7146 clock synthesizer multiplies the 125MHz reference frequency provided on the REF input by
20 to achieve a baud rate clock at 2.5GHz. The clock synthesizer contains a fully monolithic PLL which
requires no external components. An additional 125MHz clock, TBC, should be provided to clock in the data
bus. Since TBC is only used for the purpose of clocking data in, it is not required to have the same jitter
constraints as REF. REF clock and TBC should preserve certain phase margins and be of the same frequency.
Serializer
The VSC7146 accepts TTL input data as two parallel 10-bit characters on the T[0:19] bus which is latched
into the input latch on the rising edge of a 125MHz clock at TBC. This data will be serialized and transmitted on
the TX differential outputs at a baud rate of 20 times the frequency of the TBC input, with bit T0 transmitted
first. User data should be encoded for transmission using the 8B/10B block code described in the Fibre Channel
specification, or an equivalent, edge rich, DC-balanced code. If EWRAP is HIGH, the transmitter will be
disabled with TX+ HIGH and TX- LOW. If EWRAP is LOW, the transmitter outputs serialized data. The
phases of REF clock and TBC can be identical, but there is a phase relationship between the two input clocks
which must be maintained.
Transmission Character Interface
In Fibre Channel, an encoded byte is 10 bits and is referred to as a transmission character. The 20-bit
interface on the VSC7146 corresponds to two transmission characters. This mapping is shown in Figure 1.

Clock Recovery
The VSC7146 accepts differential high-speed serial inputs on the RX+/RX- pins, (when EWRAP is LOW),
extracts the clock and retimes the data. The serial bit stream should be encoded so as to provide DC balance and
limited run length by a Fibre Channel-compatible 8B/10B transmitter or equivalent. The VSC7146 clock
recovery circuitry is completely monolithic and requires no external components. For proper operation, the
baud rate of the data stream to be recovered should be within 200ppm of twenty times the REF frequency. This
allows oscillators on either end of the link to be 125MHz +/- 100ppm.

2.5Gb/s, 20-Bit Transceiver
Deserializer
The retimed serial bit stream is converted into two 10-bit parallel output characters. The VSC7146 provides
a TTL recovered clock, RBC, at one twentieth of the serial baud rate. The clock is generated by dividing down
the high-speed clock which is phase-locked to the serial data. The serial data is retimed by the internal highspeed clock, and deserialized. The resulting parallel data will be captured by the adjoining protocol logic on the
rising edge of RBC.
If serial input data is not present, or does not meet the required baud rate, the VSC7146 will continue to
produce a recovered clock and RBC will automatically lock to the REF reference clock. This eliminates the
need for a Lock-to-Reference input pin and simplifies the support software for that function.
Word Alignment
The VSC7146 provides 7-bit Fibre Channel “comma” character recognition and data word alignment. Word
synchronization is enabled by asserting EN_CDET HIGH. When synchronization is enabled, the VSC7146
constantly examines the serial data for the presence of the Fibre Channel “comma” character. This pattern is
“0011111XXX”, where the leading zero corresponds to the first bit received. The “comma” sequence is not
contained in any normal 8B/10B coded data character or pair of adjacent characters. It occurs only within
special characters, known as K28.1, K28.5 and K28.7, which are defined specifically for synchronization in
Fibre Channel systems. Improper alignment of the “comma” character is defined as either of the following
conditions:
1) The “comma” is not aligned within the 10-bit transmission character such that T0...T6 = “0011111.”
2) The “comma” straddles the boundary between two 10-bit transmission characters.
When EN_CDET is HIGH and an improperly aligned “comma” is encountered, the internal data is shifted
in such a manner that the “comma” character is aligned properly in R[0:6] as shown in Figure 1. This results in
proper character and word alignment. When the parallel data alignment changes in response to a improperly
aligned “comma” pattern, some data which would have been presented on the parallel output port may be lost.
However, the synchronization character and subsequent data will be output correctly and properly aligned.
When EN_CDET is LOW, the current alignment of the serial data is maintained indefinitely, regardless of data
pattern.
On encountering a “comma” character, COM_DET is driven HIGH to inform the user that realignment of
the parallel data field may have occurred. The COM_DET pulse is presented simultaneously with the “comma”
character and has a duration equal to the data. The COM_DET signal is timed such that it can be captured by the
adjoining protocol logic on the rising edge of RBC. Functional waveforms for synchronization are shown in
Figure 2 and Figure 3. Figure 2 shows the case when a “comma” character is detected and no phase adjustment
is necessary. It illustrates the position of the COM_DET pulse in relation to the “comma” character on R[0:6].
Figure 3 shows the case where the K28.5 is detected, but it is out-of-phase and a change in the output data
alignment is required. Note that up to three characters prior to the “comma” character may be corrupted by the
realignment process.

2.5Gb/s, 20-Bit Transceiver
Dual Data Rate Operation
The VSC7146 performs at two data rates, full-speed (2.5 Gb/s on the serial link, 125MHz on the parallel
20-bit data bus) and half-speed (1.25 Gb/s on the serial link, 62.5 Mb/s on the parallel 20-bit data bus). To
accommodate for this, the user is provided with 3 signal pins for data rate control: TXRATE, RXRATE and
BCMN. The usage of these signals is as follows:
If BCMN = 0 (Backwards Compatibility Mode), TXRATE controls both the serializer and deserializer
speeds. TXRATE should be HIGH for full-speed operation and LOW for half-speed operation.
If BCMN = 1, TXRATE controls the serializer speed and RXRATE controls the deserializer speed.
TXRATE and/or RXRATE must be HIGH for full-speed operation and/or LOW for half-speed operation.

For “comma” character (K28.5) detection, it is recommended not to use differing RXRATE inputs to actual
RX rate data reception, as shown in the Table 2 (assumes EN_CDET = 1):

Similarly, it is recommended not to use differing TXRATE inputs to actual TX rate data reception. The
T[19:0] data bus, TBC and REF clock inputs must be at 125Mb/s rates if TXRATE = 1 and 62.5Mb/s if
TXRATE = 0. It is important to note that the PLL will not lock otherwise.
Along with the 20-bit data input to the serializer, the user will also have to send the appropriate transmit
byte clock signal (TBC)—that is, 125MHz when TXRATE = 1 and 62.5MHz when TXRATE = 0. REF and
TBC should be frequency-locked in all cases and should maintain a certain phase relationship as shown in
Figure 6. The output recovered clocks (RBC/RBCN), the output deserialized data (R[19:0]) and the internal
VCO high-speed clock multiplier will be automatically adjusted by the TXRATE and RXRATE signals.
The baud rate of the data stream to be recovered in the deserializer should be within 200ppm of the REF
frequency. In other words: F REF – TX – F REF – RX ≤ 200ppm

TXRATE
INPUT - TTL:
Transmitter Dual Rate Selector. LOW for half-speed operation (1.25Gb/s). HIGH for
full-speed operation (2.5 Gbps).
79
RXRATE
INPUT - TTL:
Receiver Dual Rate Selector. LOW for half-speed operation (1.25Gb/s). HIGH for
full-speed operation (2.5Gb/s).
BCMN
INPUT - TTL:
Backwards Compatibility Mode Selector. LOW to allow operation in previous version compatibility (no separate rate controls for transmitter and receiver). HIGH to
allow operation with separate rate controls for transmitter and receiver.
36
EWRAP
INPUT - TTL:
Enable Internal WRAP Mode. LOW for Normal Operation. When HIGH, an internal
loopback path from the transmitter to the receiver is enabled, TX+ = HIGH and TXis LOW.

OUTPUTS - Differential (AC-coupling recommended):
Transmitter Serial Outputs. These pins output the serialized transmit data when
EWRAP is LOW. When EWRAP is HIGH, TX+ is HIGH and TX- is LOW.
INPUTS - Differential (AC-coupling recommended):
Receive Serial Inputs. The receiver inputs when EWRAP is LOW.
OUTPUT - TTL:
Recovered Byte Clock. Recovered clock and complement derived from 1/20th of the
RX+/- data rate. The rising edge of RBC corresponds to a new word on R[0:19].
34
INPUT - TTL: ENable Comma DETect. Enables COM_DET and word resynchroniEN_CDET zation when HIGH. When LOW, keeps current word alignment and disables
COM_DET.
37
OUTPUT - TTL:
COM_DET COMma DETect. This output goes HIGH to indicate that R[0:6] contains a “comma”
character (‘0011111’). COM_DET can be sampled on the rising edge of RBC.
