CLC005 ITU-T G.703 Cable Driver with Adjustable Outputs General Description Key Specifications National’s Comlinear CLC005 is a monolithic, high-speed cable driver designed for the ITU-T G.703 serial digital data transmission standard. The CLC005 drives 75Ω transmission lines (Belden 8281 or equivalent) at data rates from DC to over 622 Mbps. Output signal waveforms produced by the CLC005 comply with G.703 specifications. Controlled output rise and fall times (650 ps typical) minimize transitioninduced jitter. The output voltage swing, typically 2.0V, set by an accurate, low-drift internal bandgap reference, delivers a 1.0V swing to back-matched and terminated 75Ω cable. Output swing is adjustable from 0.7 Vp-p to 2.2 Vp-p using external resistors. The CLC005’s class AB output stage consumes less power than other designs, 185 mW with both outputs terminated, and requires no external bias resistors. The differential inputs accept a wide range of digital signals from 200 mVp-p to G.703 levels within the specified common-mode limits. All this make the CLC005 an excellent general purpose high speed driver for digital applications. The CLC005 is powered from a single +5V or −5.2V supply and comes in an 8-pin SOIC package. n n n n 650 ps rise and fall times Data rates to 622 Mbps 200 mV differential input Low residual jitter (25 pspp ) Features n n n n n No external pull-down resistors Adjustable output amplitude Differential input and output Low power dissipation Single +5V or −5.2V supply Applications n n n n n ITU-T G.703, Sonet/SDH, and ATM compatible driver Digital routers and distribution amplifiers Coaxial cable driver for digital transmission line Twisted pair driver Buffer applications Typical Application DS100144-2 © 1998 National Semiconductor Corporation DS100144 www.national.com CLC005 ITU-T G.703 Cable Driver with Adjustable Outputs August 1998 Typical Performance Characteristic DS100144-1 Connection Diagram (8-Pin SOIC) DS100144-3 Order Number CLC005AJE See NS Package Number M08A www.national.com 2 Absolute Maximum Ratings (Note 1) Package Thermal Resistance θ JA Surface Mount AJE θJC Surface Mount AJE Reliability Information Transistor count MTTF If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the National Semiconductor Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and specifications.

The input D.C. common-mode voltage range is 0.8V to 2.5V below the positive power supply (VCC). Input signals plus bias should be kept within the specified common-mode range. For an 800 mVP-P input signal, typical input bias levels range from 1.2V to 2.1V below the positive supply. The CLC005 has high impedance, emitter-follower buffered, differential inputs. Single-ended signals may also be input. Transmission lines supplying input signals must be properly terminated close to the CLC005. Either A.C. or D.C. coupling as in Figure 2 or Figure 3 may be used.

DC Coupled Input OUTPUT INTERFACING The CLC005’s class AB output stage, Figure 6, requires no standing current in the output transistors and therefore requires no biasing or pull-down resistors. Advantages of this arrangement are lower power dissipation and fewer external components. The output may be either D.C. or A.C. coupled to the load. A bandgap voltage reference sets output voltage levels which are compatible with F100K and 10K ECL when correctly terminated. The outputs do not have the same output voltage temperature coefficient as 10K. Therefore, noise margins will be reduced over the full temperature range when driving 10K ECL. Noise margins will not be affected when interfacing to F100K since F100K is fully voltage and temperature compensated. DS100144-7 FIGURE 4. Single Ended 50Ω ECL Input DS100144-8 FIGURE 5.

It may be necessary to empirically select resistances used to set output levels when the D.C. loading on the CLC005 differs appreciably from 150Ω. OUTPUT AMPLITUDE ADJUSTMENT The high and low output levels of the CLC005 are set by a circuit shown simplified in Figure 8. Output high and low levels may be set independently with external resistor networks connected between REXT-H (pin 3), REXT-L (pin 4) and the power supplies. The resistor networks affect the high and low output levels by changing the internally generated bias voltages, VH and V L. The nominal high and low output levels are VCC−1.7V and VCC−3.7V, respectively, when the pins REXT-H and REXT-L are left unconnected. Though the internal components which determine output voltage levels have accurate ratios, their absolute values may be controlled only within about ± 15% of nominal. Even so, without external adjustment, output voltages are well controlled. A final design should accommodate the variation in externally set output voltages due to the CLC005’s part-to-part and external component tolerances. Output voltage swing may be reduced with the circuit shown in Figure 9. A single resistance chosen with the aid of the graph, Figure 10, is connected between pins 3 and 4. Output voltage swing may be increased with the circuit of Figure 11. Figure 12 is used to estimate a value for resistor R. Note that both of these circuits and the accompanying graphs assume that the CLC005 is loaded with the standard 150Ω.

Resistance Pins 3 to 4 vs Output Voltage Increased Output @ 150Ω Load OUTPUT RISE AND FALL TIMES Output load capacitance can significantly affect output rise and fall times. The effect of load capacitance, stray or otherwise, may be reduced by placing the output back-match resistor close to the output pin and by minimizing all interconnecting trace lengths. Figure 13 shows the effect on risetime of parallel load capacitance across a 150Ω load. DS100144-16 FIGURE 13.

The artwork includes trace, silk screen and ground layers. The individual printed circuit board is available unassembled from National Semiconductor. To order this evaluation board, part number CLC730056, contact your local sales representative or the National Semiconductor Customer Response Center in your area. (This evaluation board is identical to that for the CLC007 for which some of the listed parts are not required.) The evaluation board is a guide to proper circuit layout and makes prototyping and measurement-taking easy. Since the board is designed to accommodate many of the application circuits possible with the CLC005, your particular application may not require all of the listed parts or may require different values. The evaluation board may be powered from standard ECL supply voltages by installing the two jumpers in the locations labeled “−5”. For PECL supply voltages, install the jumpers in the locations labeled “+5”. PCB Layout Recommendations Printed circuit board layout affects the performance of the CLC005. The following guidelines will aid in achieving satisfactory device performance. • Use a ground plane or power/ground plane sandwich design for optimum performance. • Bypass device power with a 0.01 µF monolithic ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 6.8 µF tantalum electrolytic capacitor located no more than 0.1″ (2.5 mm) from the device power pins. • Provide short, symmetrical ground return paths for: — inputs, — supply bypass capacitors and — the output load. • Provide short, grounded guard traces located — under the centerline of the package, — 0.1″ (2.5 mm) from the package pins — on both top and bottom of the board with connecting vias.
