GENLINX ™II GS9025A
Serial Digital Receiver
PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET
DESCRIPTION
• SMPTE 259M compliant
The GS9025A provides automatic cable equalization and
high performance clock and data recovery for serial digital
signals. The GS9025A receives either single-ended or
differential serial digital data and outputs differential clock
and retimed data signals at PECL levels (800mV). The onboard cable equalizer provides up to 40dB of gain at
200MHz which typically results in equalization of greater
than 350m of high quality cable at 270Mb/s.
• operational to 540Mb/s
• automatic cable equalization (typically greater than
350m of high quality cable at 270Mb/s)
• adjustment-free operation
• auto-rate selection (5 rates) with manual override
• single external VCO resistor for operation with five
input data rates
The GS9025A operates in either auto or manual data rate
selection mode. In both modes, the GS9025A requires only
one external resistor to set the VCO centre frequency and
provides adjustment free operation.
• data rate indication output
• serial data outputs muted and serial clock remains
active when input data is lost
• operation independent of SAV/EAV sync signals
• signal strength indicator output
• carrier detect with programmable threshold level
• power savings mode (output serial clock disable)
APPLICATIONS
Cable equalization plus clock and data recovery for all high
speed serial digital interface applications involving SMPTE
259M and other data standards.
The GS9025A has dedicated pins to indicate signal
strength/carrier detect, LOCK and data rate. Optional
external resistors allow the carrier detect threshold level to
be customized to the user's requirement. In addition, the
GS9025A provides an 'Output Eye Monitor Test'
(OEM_TEST) for diagnostic testing of signal integrity after
equalization, prior to reslicing. The serial clock outputs can
also be disabled to reduce power. The GS9025A operates
from a single +5 or -5 volt supply.

The edge energy of the equalized signal is monitored by a
detector circuit which produces an error signal
corresponding to the difference between the desired edge
energy and the actual edge energy. This error signal is
integrated by an external differential AGC filter capacitor
(AGC+/AGC-) providing a steady control voltage for the
gain stage. As the frequency response of the gain stage is
automatically varied by the application of negative
feedback, the edge energy of the equalized signal is kept
at a constant level which is representative of the original
edge energy at the transmitter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The GS9025A Serial Digital Receiver is a bipolar integrated
circuit containing a built-in cable equalizer and reclocker.
5
SSI/CD OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V)
Serial digital signals are applied to either the analog
SDI/SDI or digital DDI/DDI inputs. Signals applied to the
SDI/SDI inputs are equalized and then passed to a
multiplexer. Signals applied to the DDI/DDI inputs bypass
the equalizer and go directly to the multiplexer. The
analog/digital select pin (A/D) determines which signal is
then passed to the reclocker.
Packaged in a 44 pin MQFP, the receiver operates from a
single 5V supply to data rates of 540Mb/s. Typical power
consumption is 575mW.

1. CABLE EQUALIZER
Fig. 16 SSI/CD Voltage vs. Cable Length
The automatic cable equalizer is designed to equalize
serial digital data signals from 143Mb/s to 540Mb/s.
When the signal strength decreases to the level set at the
"Carrier Detect Threshold Adjust" pin, the SSI/CD voltage
goes to a logic "0" state (0.8 V) and can be used to drive
The serial data signal is connected to the input pins
(SDI/SDI) either differentially or single-ended. The input

signal passes through a variable gain equalizing stage
whose frequency response closely matches the inverse
cable loss characteristic. In addition, the variation of the
frequency response with control voltage imitates the
variation of the inverse cable loss characteristic with cable
length. The gain stage provides up to 40dB of gain at
200MHz which typically results in equalization of greater
than 350m at 270Mb/s of Belden 8281 cable.

other TTL/CMOS compatible logic inputs. In addition, when
loss of carrier is detected, the SDO/SDO outputs are muted
(set to a known static state).
SDO
1-2. Carrier Detect Threshold Adjust
The threshold level at which loss of carrier is detected is
adjustable via external resistors at the CD_ADJ pin. The
control voltage at the CD_ADJ pin is set by a simple resistor
divider circuit (see Typical Application Circuit). The
threshold level is adjustable from 200m to 350m. By default
(no external resistors), the threshold is typically 320m. In
noisy environments, it is not recommended to leave this pin
floating. Connecting this pin to VEE disables the SDO/SDO
muting function and allows for maximum possible cable
length equalization.
SCO
GS9025A
This feature has been designed for use in applications such
as routers where signal crosstalk and circuit noise cause
the equalizer to output erroneous data when no input signal
is present. The use of a Carrier Detect function with a fixed
internal reference does not solve this problem since the
signal to noise ratio on the circuit board could be
significantly less than the default signal detection level set
by the on chip reference. To alleviate this problem, the
GS9025A provides a user adjustable threshold to meet the
unique conditions that exist in each user's application.
Override and internal default settings have also been
provided to give the user total flexibility.

The reclocker contains four main functional blocks: the
Phase Locked Loop, Auto/Manual Data Rate Select,
Frequency Acquisition, and Logic Circuit.
2-1. Phase Locked Loop (PLL)
The Phase Locked Loop locks the internal PLL clock to the

1-3. Output Eye Monitor Test
The GS9025A also provides an 'Output Eye Monitor Test'
(OEM_TEST) which allows the verification of signal integrity
after equalization, prior to reslicing. The OEM_TEST pin is
an open collector current output that requires an external
50Ω pullup resistor. When the pullup resistor is not used,
the OEM_TEST block is disabled and the internal
OEM_TEST circuit is powered down. The OEM_TEST
provides a 100mVp-p signal when driving a 50Ω
oscilloscope input. Due to additional power consumed by
this diagnostic circuit, it is not recommended for continuous
operation.

2. RECLOCKER
2-2. VCO
The reclocker receives a differential serial data stream from
the internal multiplexer. It locks an internal clock to the
incoming data. It outputs the differential PECL retimed data
signal on SDO/SDO. It outputs the recovered clock on SCO/
SCO. The timing between the output and clock signals is
shown in Figure 17.
The VCO is a differential low phase noise, factory trimmed
design that provides increased immunity to PCB noise and
precise control of the VCO centre frequency. The VCO
operates between 30 and 540Mb/s and has a pull range of
±15% about the centre frequency. A single low impedance
external resistor, RVCO, sets the VCO centre frequency (see
Figure 19). The low impedance RVCO minimizes thermal
noise and reduces the PLL's sensitivity to PCB noise.
For a given RVCO value, the VCO can oscillate at one of two
frequencies. When SMPTE = SS0 = logic 1, the VCO centre
frequency corresponds to the ƒL curve. For all other
SMPTE/SS0 combinations, the VCO centre frequency
corresponds to the ƒH curve (ƒH is approximately 1.5 x ƒL).

RVCO (Ω)
Fig. 19 RVCO vs. VCO Centre Frequency
The recommended RVCO value for auto rate SMPTE 259M
applications is 365Ω.
The VCO and an internal divider generate the PLL clock.
Divider moduli of 1, 2, and 4 allow the PLL to lock to data
rates from 143Mb/s to 540Mb/s. The divider modulus is set
by the AUTO/MAN, SMPTE, and SS[2:0] pins (for further
details, see section 4, Auto/Manual Data Rate Select). In
addition, a manually selectable modulus 8 divider allows
operation at data rates as low as 30Mb/s.
When the input data stream is removed for an excessive
period of time (see AC electrical characteristics table), the
VCO frequency can drift from the previously locked
frequency to the limits shown in Table1.
The loop filter components are critical in determining the
loop bandwidth and damping of the PLL. Choosing these
component values is discussed in detail in the PLL DESIGN
GUIDELINES
section.
Recommended
values
for
SMPTE259M applications are shown in the Typical
Application Circuit.
3. FREQUENCY ACQUISITION
The core PLL is able to lock if the incoming data rate and
the PLL clock frequency are within the PLL capture range
(which is slightly larger than the loop bandwidth). To assist
the PLL to lock to data rates outside of the capture range,
the GS9025A uses a frequency acquisition circuit.
The frequency acquisition circuit sweeps the VCO control
voltage so that the VCO frequency changes from -10% to
+10% of the centre frequency. Figure 20 shows a typical
sweep waveform.

2-3. Phase Detector
The phase detector compares the phase of the PLL clock
with the phase of the incoming data signal and generates
error correcting timing pulses. The phase detector design
provides a linear transfer function which maximizes the
input jitter tolerance of the PLL.
2-4. Charge Pump
The VCO frequency starts at point A and sweeps up
attempting to lock. If lock is not established during the up
sweep, the VCO is then swept down. The system is
designed such that the probability of locking within one
cycle period is greater than 0.999. If the system does not
lock within one cycle period, it will attempt to lock in the
subsequent cycle. In manual mode, the divider modulus is
fixed for all cycles. In auto mode, each subsequent cycle is
based on a different divider moduli as determined by the
internal 3-bit counter.
The charge pump takes the phase detector output timing
pulses and creates a charge packet that is proportional to
the system phase error. A unique differential charge pump
design insures that the output phase does not drift when
data transitions are sparse. This makes the GS9025A ideal

An internal system clock determines tsys (see section 3-1,
Logic Circuit).
3-1. Logic Circuit
The GS9025A is controlled by a finite state logic circuit
which is clocked by an asynchronous system clock. That is,
the system clock is completely independent of the incoming
data rate. The system clock runs at low frequencies, relative
to the incoming data rate, and thus reduces interference to
the PLL.The period of the system clock is set by the COSC
capacitor and is:

t sys = 9.6 × 10 × C OSC [ sec onds ]
The recommended value for tsys is 450µs (COSC = 4.7nF)
4. AUTO/MANUAL DATA RATE SELECT
The GS9025A can operate in either auto or manual data
rate select mode. The mode of operation is selected by a
single input pin (AUTO/MAN).

GS9025A
The nominal sweep time is approximately 121µs when
CLF1 = 15nF and ΙCP = 165µA (RVCO = 365Ω).
TABLE 2.
The GS9025A defines the presence of input data when at
least one data transition occurs every 1µs.
The GS9025A internally mutes the SDO and SDO outputs
when the device is not locked. When muted, SDO/SDO are
latched providing a logic state to the subsequent circuit
and avoiding a condition where noise could be amplified
and appear as data.
The output data muting timing is shown in Figure 21.
NO DATA TRANSITIONS
DDI
5-1. Lock Time
The lock time of the GS9025A depends on whether the
input data is switching synchronously or asynchronously.
Synchronous switching refers to the case where the input
data is changed from one source to another source which is
at the same data rate (but different phase). Asynchronous
switching refers to the case where the input data is
changed from one source to another source which is at a
different data rate.

7. CLOCK ENABLE
When input data to the GS9025A is removed, the GS9025A
latches the current state of the counter (divider modulus).
Therefore, when data is reapplied, the GS9025A begins the
lock procedure at the previous locked data rate. As a result,
in synchronous switching applications, the GS9025A locks
very quickly. The nominal lock time depends on the
switching time and is summarized in the Table 4.

SWITCHING TIME

When CLK_EN is high, the GS9025A SCO/SCO outputs are
enabled. When CLK_EN is low, the SCO/SCO outputs are
tri-stated and float to VCC. Disabling the clock outputs
results in a power savings of 10%. It is recommended that
the CLK_EN input be hard wired to the desired state. For
applications which do not require the clock output, connect
CLK_EN to Ground and connect the SCO/SCO outputs to
VCC.
8. STRESSFULL DATA PATTERNS
In asynchronous switching applications, including power
up, the lock time is determined by the frequency acquisition
circuit (see section 3, Frequency Acquisition Circuit).
To acquire lock in manual mode, the frequency acquisition
circuit may have to sweep over an entire cycle depending
on initial conditions. Maximum lock time is 2Tcycle + 2tsys.
To acquire lock in auto tune mode, the frequency
acquisition circuit may have to cycle through 5 possible
counter states depending on initial conditions. Maximum
lock time is 6Tcycle + 2tsys.
All PLL's are susceptible to stressful data patterns which
can introduce bit errors in the data stream. PLL's are most
sensitive to patterns which have long run lengths of 0's or
1's (low data transition densities for a long period of time).
The GS9025A is designed to operate with low data
transition densities such as the SMPTE 259M pathological
signal (data transition density = 0.05).
9. PLL DESIGN GUIDELINES
The reclocking performance of the GS9025A is primarily
determined by the PLL. Thus, it is important that the system
designer is familiar with the basic PLL design equations.
A model of the GS9025A PLL is shown in Figure 22. The
main components are the phase detector, the VCO, and the
external loop filter components.
The nominal value of Tcycle for the GS9025A operating in a
typical SMPTE 259M application is approximately 1.3ms.
The GS9025A has a dedicated LOCK output (pin 39)
indicating when the device is locked. It should be noted
that in synchronous switching applications where the
switching time is less than 0.5µs, the LOCK output will NOT
be de-asserted and the data outputs will NOT be muted.
13
GENNUM CORPORATION

GS9025A
The GS9025A assumes that it is NOT locked to a harmonic
if the pattern ‘101’ or ‘010’ (in the reclocked data stream)
occurs at least once every tsys/3 seconds. Using the
recommended component values, this corresponds to
approximately 150µs. In a harmonically locked system, all
bit cells are double clocked and the above patterns
become ‘110011’ and ‘001100’, respectively.

10-2. High Speed Digital Inputs (DDI/DDI)
DDI/DDI are high impedance inputs which accept
differential or single-ended input drive. Two conditions must
be observed when interfacing to these inputs:
1. Input signal amplitudes are between 200 and 2000 mV
2. The common mode input voltage range is as specified
in the DC Characteristics table.
Commonly used interface examples are shown in Figures
27 to 29.
Figure 27 illustrates the simplest interface to the GS9025A
digital inputs. In this example, the driving device generates
the PECL level signals (800mV amplitudes) having a
common mode input range between 0.4 and 4.6V. This
scheme is recommended when the trace lengths are less
than 1in. The value of the resistors depends on the output
driver circuitry.
Fig. 29
When the DDI and the DDI inputs are not used, saturate
one input of the differential amplifier for improved noise
immunity. To saturate, connect either pins 44 and 1 or pins
2 and 3 to VCC. Leave the other pair floating.
10-3. High Speed Outputs (SDO/SDO and SCO/SCO)
SDO/SDO and SCO/SCO are current mode outputs that
require external pullups (see Figure 30). The output signal
swings are 800mV when 75Ω resistors are used. To shift the
signal levels down by approximately 0.7 volts, place a
diode between VCC and the pullups. When the output traces
are longer than 1in, use controlled impedance traces. Place
the pullup resistors at the end of the output traces as they
terminate the trace in its characteristic impedance (75Ω).

When trace lengths become greater than 1in, controlled
impedance traces should be used. The recommended
interface is shown in Figure 29. In this case, a parallel
resistor (RLOAD) is placed near the GS9025A inputs to
terminate the controlled impedance trace. The value of
RLOAD should be twice the value of the characteristic
impedance of the trace. In addition, place series resistors
(RSOURCE) near the driving chip to serve as source
terminations. They should be equal to the value of the trace
impedance. Assuming 800mV output swings at the driver,
RLOAD = 100Ω, RSOURCE = 50Ω and ZO = 50Ω.
