• Six StarCore SC3850 DSP subsystems, each with an SC3850 DSP
core, 32 Kbyte L1 instruction cache, 32 Kbyte L1 data cache,
unified 512 Kbyte L2 cache configurable as M2 memory in
64 Kbyte increments, memory management unit (MMU),
extended programmable interrupt controller (EPIC), two
general-purpose 32-bit timers, debug and profiling support,
low-power Wait, Stop, and power-down processing modes, and
ECC/EDC support.
• Chip-level arbitration and switching system (CLASS) that
provides full fabric non-blocking arbitration between the cores
and other initiators and the M2 memory, shared M3 memory,
DDR SRAM controllers, device configuration control and status
registers, and other targets.
• 1056 Kbyte 128-bit wide M3 memory, 1024 Kbytes of which can
be turned off to save power.
• 96 Kbyte boot ROM.
• Three input clocks (one global and two differential).
• Five PLLs (three global and two Serial RapidIO PLLs).
• Two DDR controllers with up to a 400 MHz clock (800 MHz data
rate), 64/32 bit data bus, supporting up to a total 2 Gbyte in up to
four banks (two per controller) and support for DDR2 and DDR3.

Signal List By Ball Location
Table 1 presents the signal list sorted by ball number. When designing a board, make sure that the power rail for each signal is
appropriately considered. The specified power rail must be tied to the voltage level specified in this document if any of the
related signal functions are used (active)
Note:
The information in Table 1 and Table 2 distinguishes among three concepts. First, the power pins are the balls of the
device package used to supply specific power levels for different device subsystems (as opposed to signals). Second,
the power rails are the electrical lines on the board that transfer power from the voltage regulators to the device. They
are indicated here as the reference power rails for signal lines; therefore, the actual power inputs are listed as N/A
with regard to the power rails. Third, symbols used in these tables are the names for the voltage levels (absolute,
recommended, and so on) and not the power supplies themselves.

Notes:
1.
Reserved signals should be disconnected for compatibility with future revisions of the device. Non-user signals are reserved
for manufacturing and test purposes only. The assigned signal name is used to indicate whether the signal must be
unconnected (Reserved), pulled down (VSS), or pulled up (VDD).
2. Signal function during power-on reset is determined by the RCW source type.
3. Selection of TDM versus RGMII functionality is determined by the RCW bit values.
4. Selection of RapidIO, SGMII, and PCI Express functionality is determined by the RCW bit values.
5. Selection of the GPIO function and other functions is done by GPIO register setup. For configuration details, see the GPIO
chapter in the MSC8256 Reference Manual.
6. Open-drain signal.
7. Internal 20 KΩ pull-up resistor.
8. For signals with GPIO functionality, the open-drain and internal 20 KΩ pull-up resistor can be configured by GPIO register
programming. See the GPIO chapter of the MSC8256 Reference Manual for configuration details.
9. Connect to power supply via external filter. See Section 3.2, PLL Power Supply Design Considerations for details.
10. Pin types are: Ground = all VSS connections; Power = all VDD connections; I = Input; O = Output; I/O = Input/Output; NC =
not connected.

Electrical Characteristics
This document contains detailed information on power considerations, DC/AC electrical characteristics, and AC timing
specifications. For additional information, see the MSC8256 Reference Manual.
2.1
Maximum Ratings
In calculating timing requirements, adding a maximum value of one specification to a minimum value of another specification
does not yield a reasonable sum. A maximum specification is calculated using a worst case variation of process parameter values
in one direction. The minimum specification is calculated using the worst case for the same parameters in the opposite direction.
Therefore, a “maximum” value for a specification never occurs in the same device with a “minimum” value for another
specification; adding a maximum to a minimum represents a condition that can never exist.
Table 2 describes the maximum electrical ratings for the MSC8256.

High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) DC Electrical Characteristics
The MSC8256 features an HSSI that includes two 4-channel SerDes ports used for high-speed serial interface applications (PCI
Express, Serial RapidIO interfaces, and SGMII). This section and its subsections describe the common portion of the SerDes
DC, including the DC requirements for the SerDes reference clocks and the SerDes data lane transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx)
reference circuits. The data lane circuit specifications are specific for each supported interface, and they have individual
subsections by protocol. The selection of individual data channel functionality is done via the Reset Configuration Word High
Register (RCWHR) SerDes Protocol selection fields (S1P and S2P). Specific AC electrical characteristics are defined in
Section 2.6.2, “HSSI AC Timing Specifications.”
2.5.2.1
Signal Term Definitions
The SerDes interface uses differential signalling to transfer data across the serial link. This section defines terms used in the
description and specification of differential signals. Figure 4 shows how the signals are defined. For illustration purposes only,
one SerDes lane is used in the description. Figure 4 shows the waveform for either a transmitter output (SR[1–2]_TX and

Figure 4. Differential Voltage Definitions for Transmitter or Receiver
Using this waveform, the definitions are listed in Table 10. To simplify the illustration, the definitions assume that the SerDes
transmitter and receiver operate in a fully symmetrical differential signalling environment.
Table 10. Differential Signal Definitions
Term
Definition
Single-Ended Swing
The transmitter output signals and the receiver input signals SR[1–2]_TX, SR[1–2]_TX, SR[1–2]_RX
and SR[1–2]_RX each have a peak-to-peak swing of A – B volts. This is also referred to as each
signal wire’s single-ended swing.
Differential Output Voltage, VOD (or
Differential Output Swing):
The differential output voltage (or swing) of the transmitter, VOD, is defined as the difference of the
two complimentary output voltages: VSR[1–2]_TX – VSR[1–2]_TX. The VOD value can be either positive
or negative.
Differential Input Voltage, VID (or
Differential Input Swing)
The differential input voltage (or swing) of the receiver, VID, is defined as the difference of the two
complimentary input voltages: VSR[1–2]_RX – VSR[1–2]_RX. The VID value can be either positive or
negative.
Differential Peak Voltage, VDIFFp
The peak value of the differential transmitter output signal or the differential receiver input signal is
defined as the differential peak voltage, VDIFFp = |A – B| volts.
Differential Peak-to-Peak, VDIFFp-p
Since the differential output signal of the transmitter and the differential input signal of the receiver
each range from A – B to –(A – B) volts, the peak-to-peak value of the differential transmitter output
signal or the differential receiver input signal is defined as differential peak-to-peak voltage,
VDIFFp-p = 2 × VDIFFp = 2 × |(A – B)| volts, which is twice the differential swing in amplitude, or twice
of the differential peak. For example, the output differential peak-peak voltage can also be calculated
as VTX-DIFFp-p = 2 × |VOD|.
Differential Waveform
The differential waveform is constructed by subtracting the inverting signal (SR[1–2]_TX, for
example) from the non-inverting signal (SR[1–2]_TX, for example) within a differential pair. There is
only one signal trace curve in a differential waveform. The voltage represented in the differential
waveform is not referenced to ground. Refer to Figure 16 as an example for differential waveform.
Common Mode Voltage, Vcm
The common mode voltage is equal to half of the sum of the voltages between each conductor of a
balanced interchange circuit and ground. In this example, for SerDes output,
Vcm_out = (VSR[1–2]_TX + VSR[1–2]_TX) ÷ 2 = (A + B) ÷ 2, which is the arithmetic mean of the two
complimentary output voltages within a differential pair. In a system, the common mode voltage may
often differ from one component’s output to the other’s input. It may be different between the receiver
input and driver output circuits within the same component. It is also referred to as the DC offset on
some occasions.
MSC8256 Six-Core Digital Signal Processor Data Sheet, Rev. 5
28
Freescale Semiconductor
Electrical Characteristics
To illustrate these definitions using real values, consider the example of a current mode logic (CML) transmitter that has a
common mode voltage of 2.25 V and outputs, TD and TD. If these outputs have a swing from 2.0 V to 2.5 V, the peak-to-peak
voltage swing of each signal (TD or TD) is 500 mV p-p, which is referred to as the single-ended swing for each signal. Because
the differential signaling environment is fully symmetrical in this example, the transmitter output differential swing (VOD) has
the same amplitude as each signal single-ended swing. The differential output signal ranges between 500 mV and –500 mV. In
other words, VOD is 500 mV in one phase and –500 mV in the other phase. The peak differential voltage (VDIFFp) is 500 mV.
The peak-to-peak differential voltage (VDIFFp-p) is 1000 mV p-p.
2.5.2.2
SerDes Reference Clock Receiver Characteristics
The SerDes reference clock inputs are applied to an internal PLL whose output creates the clock used by the corresponding
SerDes lanes. The SerDes reference clock inputs are SR1_REF_CLK/SR1_REF_CLK or SR2_REF_CLK/SR2_REF_CLK.
Figure 5 shows a receiver reference diagram of the SerDes reference clocks.

Figure 5. Receiver of SerDes Reference Clocks
The characteristics of the clock signals are as follows:
•
•
•
•
The supply voltage requirements for VDDSXC are as specified in Table 3.
The SerDes reference clock receiver reference circuit structure is as follows:
— The SR[1–2]_REF_CLK and SR[1–2]_REF_CLK are internally AC-coupled differential inputs as shown in
Figure 5. Each differential clock input (SR[1–2]_REF_CLK or SR[1–2]_REF_CLK) has on-chip 50-Ω
termination to GNDSXC followed by on-chip AC-coupling.
— The external reference clock driver must be able to drive this termination.
— The SerDes reference clock input can be either differential or single-ended. Refer to the differential mode and
single-ended mode descriptions below for detailed requirements.
The maximum average current requirement also determines the common mode voltage range.
— When the SerDes reference clock differential inputs are DC coupled externally with the clock driver chip, the
maximum average current allowed for each input pin is 8 mA. In this case, the exact common mode input voltage
is not critical as long as it is within the range allowed by the maximum average current of 8 mA because the input
is AC-coupled on-chip.
— This current limitation sets the maximum common mode input voltage to be less than 0.4 V (0.4 V / 50 = 8 mA)
while the minimum common mode input level is 0.1 V above GNDSXC. For example, a clock with a 50/50 duty
cycle can be produced by a clock driver with output driven by its current source from 0 mA to 16 mA (0–0.8 V),
such that each phase of the differential input has a single-ended swing from 0 V to 800 mV with the common mode
voltage at 400 mV.
— If the device driving the SR[1–2]_REF_CLK and SR[1–2]_REF_CLK inputs cannot drive 50 Ω to GNDSXC DC or
the drive strength of the clock driver chip exceeds the maximum input current limitations, it must be AC-coupled
externally.
The input amplitude requirement is described in detail in the following sections.

DC-Level Requirements for SerDes Interfaces
The following subsections define the DC-level requirements for the SerDes reference clocks, the PCI Express data lines, the
Serial RapidIO data lines, and the SGMII data lines.
2.5.3.1
DC-Level Requirements for SerDes Reference Clocks
The DC-level requirement for the SerDes reference clock inputs is different depending on the signaling mode used to connect
the clock driver chip and SerDes reference clock inputs, as described below:
•
Differential Mode
— The input amplitude of the differential clock must be between 400 mV and 1600 mV differential peak-peak (or
between 200 mV and 800 mV differential peak). In other words, each signal wire of the differential pair must have
a single-ended swing of less than 800 mV and greater than 200 mV. This requirement is the same for both external
DC-coupled or AC-coupled connection.
— For an external DC-coupled connection, the maximum average current requirements sets the requirement for
average voltage (common mode voltage) as between 100 mV and 400 mV. Figure 7 shows the SerDes reference
clock input requirement for DC-coupled connection scheme.

Freescale Semiconductor
Electrical Characteristics
— For an external AC-coupled connection, there is no common mode voltage requirement for the clock driver.
Because the external AC-coupling capacitor blocks the DC-level, the clock driver and the SerDes reference clock
receiver operate in different command mode voltages. The SerDes reference clock receiver in this connection
scheme has its common mode voltage set to GNDSXC. Each signal wire of the differential inputs is allowed to
swing below and above the command mode voltage GNDSXC. Figure 8 shows the SerDes reference clock input
requirement for AC-coupled connection scheme.

•
Single-Ended Mode
— The reference clock can also be single-ended. The SR[1–2]_REF_CLK input amplitude (single-ended swing)
must be between 400 mV and 800 mV peak-peak (from VMIN to VMAX) with SR[1–2]_REF_CLK either left
unconnected or tied to ground.
— The SR[1–2]_REF_CLK input average voltage must be between 200 and 400 mV. Figure 9 shows the SerDes
reference clock input requirement for single-ended signalling mode.
— To meet the input amplitude requirement, the reference clock inputs may need to be DC- or AC-coupled
externally. For the best noise performance, the reference of the clock could be DC- or AC-coupled into the unused
phase (SR[1–2]_REF_CLK) through the same source impedance as the clock input (SR[1–2]_REF_CLK) in use.

tCISKEW represents the total amount of skew consumed by the controller between MDQS[n] and any corresponding bit that is
captured with MDQS[n]. Subtract this value from the total timing budget.
At recommended operating conditions with VDDDDR (1.8 V or 1.5 V) ± 5%
The amount of skew that can be tolerated from MDQS to a corresponding MDQ signal is called tDISKEW.This can be
determined by the following equation: tDISKEW = ±(T ÷ 4 – abs(tCISKEW)) where T is the clock period and abs(tCISKEW) is the
absolute value of tCISKEW.

The symbols used for timing specifications follow the pattern of t(first two letters of functional block)(signal)(state) (reference)(state) for
inputs and t(first two letters of functional block)(reference)(state)(signal)(state) for outputs. Output hold time can be read as DDR timing
(DD) from the rising or falling edge of the reference clock (KH or KL) until the output went invalid (AX or DX). For example,
tDDKHAS symbolizes DDR timing (DD) for the time tMCK memory clock reference (K) goes from the high (H) state until outputs
(A) are setup (S) or output valid time. Also, tDDKLDX symbolizes DDR timing (DD) for the time tMCK memory clock reference (K)
goes low (L) until data outputs (D) are invalid (X) or data output hold time.
All MCK/MCK referenced measurements are made from the crossing of the two signals.
ADDR/CMD includes all DDR SDRAM output signals except MCK/MCK, MCS, and MDQ/MECC/MDM/MDQS.
Note that tDDKHMH follows the symbol conventions described in note 1. For example, tDDKHMH describes the DDR timing (DD)
from the rising edge of the MCK(n) clock (KH) until the MDQS signal is valid (MH). tDDKHMH can be modified through control of
the DQSS override bits in the TIMING_CFG_2 register. This will typically be set to the same delay as the clock adjust in the
CLK_CNTL register. The timing parameters listed in the table assume that these two parameters have been set to the same
adjustment value. See the MSC8256 Reference Manual for a description and understanding of the timing modifications
enabled by use of these bits.
Determined by maximum possible skew between a data strobe (MDQS) and any corresponding bit of data (MDQ), ECC
(MECC), or data mask (MDM). The data strobe should be centered inside of the data eye at the pins of the MSC8256.
At recommended operating conditions with VDDDDR (1.5 V or 1,8 V) ± 5%.
For the ADDR/CMD setup and hold specifications in Table 21, it is assumed that the clock control register is set to
adjust the memory clocks by ½ applied cycle.

Measured from –200 mV to +200 mV on the differential waveform (derived from SR[1–2]_REF_CLK minus
SR[1–2]_REF_CLK). The signal must be monotonic through the measurement region for rise and fall time. The 400 mV
measurement window is centered on the differential zero crossing. See Figure 16.

Matching applies to rising edge for SR[1–2]_REF_CLK and falling edge rate for SR[1–2]_REF_CLK. It is measured using a
200 mV window centered on the median cross point where SR[1–2]_REF_CLK rising meets SR[1–2]_REF_CLK falling. The
median cross point is used to calculate the voltage thresholds that the oscilloscope uses for the edge rate calculations. The
rise edge rate of SR[1–2]_REF_CLK should be compared to the fall edge rate of SR[1–2]_REF_CLK; the maximum allowed
difference should not exceed 20% of the slowest edge rate. See Figure 17.

Each UI is 400 ps ± 300 ppm. UI does not account for spread spectrum clock dictated variations. No test load is necessarily
associated with this value.
The maximum transmitter jitter can be derived as TTX-MAX-JITTER = 1 – TTX-EYE = 0.3 UI.
Specified at the measurement point into a timing and voltage compliance test load as shown in Figure 8 and measured over
any 250 consecutive Tx UIs. A TTX-EYE = 0.70 UI provides for a total sum of deterministic and random jitter budget of
TTX-JITTER-MAX = 0.30 UI for the transmitter collected over any 250 consecutive Tx UIs. The TTX-EYE-MEDIAN-to-MAX-JITTER
median is less than half of the total Tx jitter budget collected over any 250 consecutive Tx UIs. It should be noted that the
median is not the same as the mean. The jitter median describes the point in time where the number of jitter points on either
side is approximately equal as opposed to the averaged time value. Jitter is defined as the measurement variation of the
crossing points (VTX-DIFFp-p = 0 V) in relation to a recovered Tx UI. A recovered Tx UI is calculated over 3500 consecutive
unit intervals of sample data.
Jitter is measured using all edges of the 250 consecutive UI in the center of the 3500 UI used for calculating the Tx UI.
All transmitters shall be AC-coupled. The AC coupling is required either within the media or within the transmitting component
itself. The SerDes transmitter does not have built-in Tx capacitance. An external AC coupling capacitor is required.

Each UI is 400 ps ± 300 ppm. UI does not account for spread spectrum clock dictated variations. No test load is necessarily
associated with this value.
The maximum interconnect media and transmitter jitter that can be tolerated by the receiver can be derived as
TRX-MAX-JITTER = 1 – TRX-EYE = 0.6 UI.
Specified at the measurement point and measured over any 250 consecutive UIs. The test load in Figure 8 should be used as
the Rx device when taking measurements. If the clocks to the Rx and Tx are not derived from the same reference clock, the
Tx UI recovered from 3500 consecutive UI must be used as a reference for the eye diagram.
A TRX-EYE = 0.40 UI provides for a total sum of 0.60 UI deterministic and random jitter budget for the transmitter and
interconnect collected any 250 consecutive UIs. The TRX-EYE-MEDIAN-to-MAX-JITTER specification ensures a jitter distribution in
which the median and the maximum deviation from the median is less than half of the total. UI jitter budget collected over any
250 consecutive Tx UIs. It should be noted that the median is not the same as the mean. The jitter median describes the point
in time where the number of jitter points on either side is approximately equal as opposed to the averaged time value. If the
clocks to the Rx and Tx are not derived from the same reference clock, the Tx UI recovered from 3500 consecutive UI must
be used as the reference for the eye diagram.
Jitter is defined as the measurement variation of the crossing points (VRX-DIFFp-p = 0 V) in relation to a recovered Tx UI. A
recovered Tx UI is calculated over 3500 consecutive unit intervals of sample data. Jitter is measured using all edges of the
250 consecutive UI in the center of the 3500 UI used for calculating the Tx UI. It is recommended that the recovered Tx UI is
calculated using all edges in the 3500 consecutive UI interval with a fit algorithm using a minimization merit function. Least
squares and median deviation fits have worked well with experimental and simulated data.

The symbols used for timing specifications follow the pattern t(first two letters of functional block)(signal)(state)(reference)(state) for inputs
and t(first two letters of functional block)(reference)(state)(signal)(state) for outputs. For example, tHIKHOX symbolizes the output internal
timing (HI) for the time tserial memory clock reference (K) goes from the high state (H) until outputs (O) are invalid (X).
Output values are based on 30 pF capacitive load.
Inputs are referenced to the sampling that the TDM is programmed to use. Outputs are referenced to the programming edge
they are programmed to use. Use of the rising edge or falling edge as a reference is programmable. TDMxTCK and TDMxRCK are
shown using the rising edge.
All values are based on a maximum TDM interface frequency of 62.5 MHz.

Program the GE_MDC frequency (fMDC) to a maximum value of 2.5 MHz (400 ns period for tMDC). The value depends on the
source clock and configuration of MIIMCFG[MCS] and UPSMR[MDCP]. For example, for a source clock of 400 MHz to
achieve fMDC = 2.5 MHz, program MIIMCFG[MCS] = 0x4 and UPSMR[MDCP] = 0. See the MSC8256 Reference Manual for
configuration details.
The value depends on the source clock. For example, for a source clock of 267 MHz, the delay is 70 ns. For a source clock of
333 MHz, the delay is 58 ns.

The symbols used for timing specifications follow the pattern of t(first two letters of functional block)(signal)(state)
(reference)(state) for inputs and t(first two letters of functional block)(reference)(state)(signal)(state) for outputs. For example,
tNIKHOX symbolizes the internal timing (NI) for the time SPICLK clock reference (K) goes to the high state (H)
until
outputs (O) are invalid (X).
Output specifications are measured from the 50% level of the rising edge of SPICLK to the 50% level of the signal.

Hardware Design Considerations
The following sections discuss areas to consider when the MSC8256 device is designed into a system.
3.1
Power Supply Ramp-Up Sequence
The following subsections describe the required device initialization sequence.
3.1.1
Clock, Reset, and Supply Coordination
Starting the device requires coordination between several inputs including: clock, reset, and power supplies. Follow this
guidelines when starting up an MSC8256 device:
•
•
•
PORESET and TRST must be asserted externally for the duration of the supply ramp-up, using the VDDIO supply.
TRST deassertion does not have to be synchronized with PORESET deassertion. However, TRST must be deasserted
before normal operation begins to ensure correct functionality of the device.
CLKIN should toggle at least 32 cycles before PORESET deassertion to guarantee correct device operation. The 32
cycles should only be counted from the time after VDDIO reaches its nominal value (see timing 1 in Figure 33).
CLKIN should either be stable low during ramp-up of VDDIO supply (and start its swings after ramp-up) or should
swing within VDDIO range during VDDIO ramp-up, so its amplitude grows as VDDIO grows during ramp-up.
Figure 33 shows a sequence in which VDDIO ramps-up after VDD and CLKIN begins to toggle with the raise of VDDIO supply.

3.1.2
Power-On Ramp Time
This section describes the AC electrical specification for the power-on ramp rate requirements for all voltage supplies (including
GVDD/SXPVDD/SXCVDD/QVDD/GVDD/NVDD, all VDD supplies, MVREF, and all AVDD supplies). Controlling the
power-on ramp time is required to avoid falsely triggering the ESD circuitry. Table 39 defines the power supply ramp time
specification.

V/s
Ramp time is specified as a linear ramp from 10% to 90% of nominal voltage of the specific voltage supply. If the ramp is
non-linear (for example, exponential), the maximum rate of change from 200 to 500 mV is the most critical because this range
might falsely trigger the ESD circuitry.
Required over the full recommended operating temperature range (see Table 3).
All supplies must be at their stable values within 50 ms.
The GVDD pins can be held low on the application board at powerup. If GVDD is not held low, then GVDD will rise to a
voltage level that depends on the board-level impedance-to-ground. If the impedance is high (that is, infinite), then
theoretically, GVDD can rise up close to the VDD levels.
Power Supply Guidelines
Use the following guidelines for power-up sequencing:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Couple M3VDD with the VDD power rail using an extremely low impedance path.
Couple inputs PLL1_AVDD, PLL2_AVDD and PLL3_AVDD with the VDD power rail using an RC filter (see Figure
37).
There is no dependency in power-on/power-off sequence between the GVDD1, GVDD2, NVDD, and QVDD power
rails.
Couple inputs M1VREF and M2VREF with the GVDD1 and GVDD2 power rails, respectively. They should rise at
the same time as or after their respective power rail.
There is no dependency between RapidIO supplies: SXCVDD1, SXCVDD2, SXPVDD1 and SXPVDD2 and other
MSC8256 supplies in the power-on/power-off sequence
Couple inputs SR1_PLL_AVDD and SR2_PLL_AVDD with SXCVDD1 and SXCVDD2 power rails, respectively,
using an RC filter (see Figure 38).
External voltage applied to any input line must not exceed the I/O supply voltage related to this line by more than 0.6 V at any
time, including during power-up. Some designs require pull-up voltages applied to selected input lines during power-up for
configuration purposes. This is an acceptable exception to the rule during start-up. However, each such input can draw up to
80 mA per input pin per MSC8256 device in the system during power-up. An assertion of the inputs to the high voltage level
before power-up should be with slew rate less than 4 V/ns.
The device power rails should rise in the following sequence:
1.
VDD (and all coupled supplies)

2.
After the above rails rise to 90% of their nominal voltage, the following I/O power rails may rise in any sequence (see
Figure 34): QVDD, NVDD, GVDD1, and GVDD2.

If the M3 memory is not used, M3VDD can be tied to GND.
If the HSSI port1 is not used, SXCVDD1and SXPVDD1 must be connected to the designated power supplies.
If the HSSI port2 is not used, SXCVDD2 and SXPVDD2 must be connected to the designated power supplies.
If the DDR port 1 interface is not used, it is recommended that GVDD1 be left unconnected.
If the DDR port 2 interface is not used, it is recommended that GVDD2 be left unconnected.

PLL Power Supply Design Considerations
Each global PLL power supply must have an external RC filter for the PLLn_AVDD input (see Figure 37) in which the
following components are defined as listed:
•
•
•
Note:
R = 5 Ω ± 5%
C1 = 10 µF ± 10%, 0603, X5R, with ESL ≤ 0.5 nH, low ESL Surface Mount Capacitor.
C2 = 1.0 µF ± 10%, 0402, X5R, with ESL ≤ 0.5 nH, low ESL Surface Mount Capacitor.
A higher capacitance value for C2 may be used to improve the filter as long as the other C2 parameters do not change.
All three PLLs can connect to a single supply voltage source (such as a voltage regulator) as long as the external RC filter is
applied to each PLL separately. For optimal noise filtering, place the circuit as close as possible to its PLLn_AVDD inputs.

Each SerDes PLL power supply must be filtered using a circuit similar to the one shown in Figure 38, to ensure stability of the
internal clock. For maximum effectiveness, the filter circuit should be placed as closely as possible to the SRn_PLL_AVDD ball
to ensure it filters out as much noise as possible. The ground connection should be near the SRn_PLL_AVDD ball. The 0.003 μF
capacitor is closest to the ball, followed by the two 2.2 μF capacitors, and finally the 1 Ω resistor to the board supply plane. The
capacitors are connected from SRn_PLL_AVDD to the ground plane. Use ceramic chip capacitors with the highest possible
self-resonant frequency. All trances should be kept short, wide, and direct.

Clock and Timing Signal Board Layout Considerations
When laying out the system board, use the following guidelines:
•
•
3.4
Keep clock and timing signal paths as short as possible and route with 50 Ω impedance.
Use a serial termination resistor placed close to the clock buffer to minimize signal reflection. Use the following
equation to compute the resistor value:
Rterm = Rim – Rbuf
where Rim = trace characteristic impedance
Rbuf = clock buffer internal impedance.

Connectivity Guidelines
Although the package actually uses a ball grid array, the more conventional term pin is used to denote signal
connections in this discussion.
First, select the pin multiplexing mode to allocate the required I/O signals. Then use the guidelines presented in the following
subsections for board design and connections. The following conventions are used in describing the connectivity requirements:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Note:
GND indicates using a 10 kΩ pull-down resistor (recommended) or a direct connection to the ground plane. Direct
connections to the ground plane may yield DC current up to 50 mA through the I/O supply that adds to overall power
consumption.
VDD indicates using a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor (recommended) or a direct connection to the appropriate power supply.
Direct connections to the supply may yield DC current up to 50 mA through the I/O supply that adds to overall power
consumption.
Mandatory use of a pull-up or pull-down resistor is clearly indicated as “pull-up/pull-down.” For buses, each pin on
the bus should have its own resistor.
NC indicates “not connected” and means do not connect anything to the pin.
The phrase “in use” indicates a typical pin connection for the required function.
Please see recommendations #1 and #2 as mandatory pull-down or pull-up connection for unused pins in case of
subset interface connection.

Guide to Selecting Connections for Remote Power Supply
Sensing
To assure consistency of input power levels, some applications use a practice of connecting the remote sense signal input of an
on-board power supply to one of power supply pins of the IC device. The advantage of using this connection is the ability to
compensate for the slow components of the IR drop caused by resistive supply current path from on-board power supply to the
pins layer on the package. However, because of specific device requirements, not every ball connection can be selected as the
remote sense pin. Some of these pins must be connected to the appropriate power supply or ground to ensure correct device
functionality. Some connections supply critical power to a specific high usage area of the IC die; using such a connection as a
non-supply pin could impact necessary supply current during high current events. The following balls can be used as the board
supply remote sense output without degrading the power and ground supply quality:
•
•
•
VDD: W10, T19
VSS: J18, Y10
M3VDD: None
Do not use any other connections for remote sensing. Use of any other connections for this purpose can result in application and
device failure.
