HD-LINX ™ GS1515
HDTV Serial Digital Reclocker
PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET
DESCRIPTION
• SMPTE 292M compliant
The GS1515 HDTV Serial Digital Reclocker is designed to
automatically recover the embedded clock signal and retime the data from a SMPTE 292M compliant digital video
signal.
• fully automatic adjustment free reclocker for HDTV
signals
• 1.485Gb/s and 1.485/1.001Gb/s operation
An internal low pass filter removes the high frequency jitter
components from the bit-serial stream. 100Ω differential
input termination is on-chip for seamless matching to 50Ω
transmission lines. A dual SMPTE 292M compliant output
Cable Driver is also included on-chip. The GS1515 uses the
GO1515 external VCO connected to the internal PLL
circuitry in order to achieve ultra low noise PLL
performance.
• dual 75Ω co-axial cable driver outputs
• reclocker bypass mode
• seamless input Interface to the GS1504 HD adaptive
equalizer
• low power
• lock detect
• +5V or -5V power supply operation
• 44 pin MQFP
Two diagnostic features are included in the GS1515 for
robust system design. The Input Jitter Indicator (IJI)
indicates excessive input jitter before the Serial Digital
outputs are muted and the Jitter Demodulator Function
(DM) helps to debug systems and locate the source of jitter.
APPLICATIONS
SMPTE 292M Serial Digital Routers; SMPTE 292M Serial
Digital Distribution Amplifiers.
The GS1515 is packaged in a 44 pin MQFP package and
requires a single 5V power supply. The GS1515 typically
draws 100mA of current.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Lastly, because most of the PLL circuitry is digital, it is very
robust similar to any other digital systems which are
generally more robust than their analog counterparts.
Additionally signals like DM/DM which represent the internal
functionality can be generated without adding additional
artifacts. Thus, system debugging is also possible with
these features. The complete slew PLL is made up of
several blocks including the phase detector, the charge
pump and an external Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO).
For the device descriptions, reference should be made to
the Functional Block Diagram on the cover page of the data
sheet.
The GS1515 is a single standard re-timer for serial digital
HDTV signals at 1.485Gb/s and 1.485/1.001Gb/s.
A unique feature of the GS1515 is the innovative slew phase
lock loop (S-PLL). When a step phase change is applied to
the PLL, the output phase gains constant rate of change
with respect to time. This behavior is termed slew. Figure 13
shows an example of input and output phase variation over
time for slew and linear (conventional) PLLs. Since the
slewing is a non-linear behavior, the small signal analysis
cannot be done in the same way as it is done for the
standard PLL. However, it is still possible to plot input jitter
transfer characteristics at a constant input jitter modulation.
INPUT BUFFER
The input buffer is a self-biased circuit. On-chip 50Ω
termination resistors provide a seamless interface for other
HD-LINX™ products such as the GS1504 Adaptive Cable
Equalizer.

PHASE DETECTOR
OUTPUT
The phase detector portion of the slew PLL used in GS1515
is a bi-level digital phase detector. It indicates whether the
data transition occurred before or after with respect to the
falling edge of the internal clock. When the phase detector
is locked, the data transition edges are aligned to the falling
edge of the clock. The input data is then sampled by the
rising edge of the clock, as shown in Figure 14. In this
manner, the allowed input jitter is 1UI p-p in an ideal
situation. However, due to setup and hold time, the GS1515
typically achieves 0.8UI p-p input jitter tolerance without
causing any errors in this block. When the signal is locked
to the internal clock, the control output from the phase
detector is refreshed at the transition of each rising edge of
the data input. During this time, the phase of the clock drifts
in one direction.

Slew PLLs offer several advantages such as excellent noise
immunity. Because of the infinite bandwidth for an infinitely
small input jitter modulation (or jitter introduced by VCO),
the loop corrects for that immediately thus the small signal
noise of the VCO is cancelled. The GS1515 uses an
extremely clean, external VCO called the GO1515
(reference should be made to the GO1515 Data Sheet). In
addition, the bi-state digital phase detector provides
constant loop bandwidth that is independent of the data
transition density. The loop bandwidth of a conventional tristable charge pump drops with reducing data transitions.
During pathological signals, the data transition density
reduces from 0.5 to 0.05, but the slew PLL’s performance
does not change.

relationship between input jitter modulation index and
bandwidth when RCP1 and CCP3 are not used. See the
Typical Application Circuit artwork for the location of RCP1
and CCP3 .
During pathological signals, the amount of jitter that the
phase detector will add can be calculated. By choosing the
proper loop bandwidth, the amount of phase detector
induced jitter can also be limited. Typically, for a 1.41MHz
loop bandwidth at 0.2UI input jitter modulation, the phase
detector induced jitter is about 0.015UIp-p. This is not very
significant, even for the pathological signals.
The charge pump in a slew PLL is different from the charge
pump in a linear PLL. There are two main functions of the
charge pump. One function is to hold the frequency
information of the input data. This information is held by
CCP1, which is connected between LFS and LFS. The other
capacitor, CCP2 between LFS and LFA_GND is used to
remove common mode noise. Both CCP1, CCP2 should be
the same value. The second function of the charge pump is
to provide a binary control voltage to the VCO depending
upon the phase detector output. The output pin, LFA
controls the VCO. Internally there is a 500Ω pull-up resistor,
which is driven with a 100µA current called ΙP. Another
analog current ΙF, with 5mA maximum drive proportional to
the voltage across the CCP1 is applied at the same node.
The voltage at the LFA node is VLFA_VCC - 500(ΙP+ΙF) at any
time.

The product of the input jitter modulation (IJM) and the
bandwidth (BW) is a constant. In this case, it is 282.9kHzUI.
The loop bandwidth automatically reduces with increasing
input jitter, which helps in cleaning up the signal as much
as possible.
Using a series combination of RCP1 and CCP3 in parallel to
an on-chip resistor (as shown in the Typical Application
Circuit) can reduce the loop bandwidth of the GS1515. The
parallel combination of the resistor is directly proportional to
the bandwidth factor. For example, the on-chip 500Ω
resistor yields 282.9kHzUI. If a 50Ω resistor is connected in
parallel, the effective resistance will be (50 || 500) 45.45Ω.
This
resistance
yields
a
bandwidth
factor
of
[282.9 X (45.45/500)] = 25.72kHzUI. The capacitance CCP3
in series with the RCP1 should be chosen such that the RC
factor is 50µF. For example, RCP1=50Ω would require
CCP3=1µF.
Because of the integrator, ΙF changes very slowly, whereas
ΙP could change at the positive edge of the data transition
as often as a clock period. In the locked position, the
average voltage at the LFA (VLFA_VCC – 500(ΙP/2+ΙF)) is such
that VCO generates frequency ƒ, equal to the data rate
clock frequency. Since ΙP is changing all the time between
0A and 100µA, there will be two levels generated at the LFA
output.

The synchronous lock time increases with reduced
bandwidth. Nominal synchronous lock time is equal to
The GO1515 is an external hybrid VCO, which has a centre
frequency of 1.485GHz and is also guaranteed to provide
1.485/1.001GHz within the control voltage (3.1V – 4.65V) of
the GS1515 over process, power supply and temperature.
The GO1515 is a very clean frequency source and because
of the internal high Q resonator, it is an order of magnitude
more immune to external noise as compared to on-chip
VCOs.
[ 0.25 × 2 /Bandwidth factor]. That is, the default
bandwidth factor (282.9kHzUI) would yield 1.25µs. For
25.72kHzUI,
the
synchronous
lock
time
is
0.3535/25.72k=13.75µs. Since the CCP1, CCP2 and CCP3 are
also charged, it is measured to be about 11µs which is
slightly less than the calculated value of 13.75µs.
The Kƒ of the VCO (GO1515) is specified with a minimum of
11MHz/V and maximum of 21MHz/V which is about ±32%
variation. The 500 x ΙP/2 will vary about ±10%. The resulting
bandwidth factor would approximately vary by ±45% when
no RCP1 and CCP3 are used. ΙP by itself may vary by 30% so
the variability for lower bandwidths will increase by an
additional ±30%.
The VCO gain, Kƒ, is nominally 16MHz/V. The control
voltage around the average LFA voltage will be 500 x ΙP/2.
This will produce two frequencies off from the centre by
ƒ=Kƒ x 500 x ΙP/2.
LOOP BANDWIDTH OPTIMIZATION
Since the feed back loop has only digital circuits, the small
signal analysis does not apply to the system. The effective
loop bandwidth scales with the amount of input jitter
modulation index. The following table summarizes the
The CCP1 and CCP2 capacitors should be changed with
reduced bandwidths. Smaller CCP1 and CCP2 capacitors
would result in jitter peaking, lower stability, less probability
of locking but at the same time lowering the asynchronous

Bandwidths lower than 129kHz at 0.2UI modulation have
not been characterized, but it is believed that the
bandwidth could be further lowered. Since a lower
bandwidth has less correction for noise, extra care should
be taken to minimize board noise. Figures 16 and 17 show
the two measured loop bandwidths at these two settings.
Table 1 summarizes the two bandwidth settings.
lock time. Therefore, there is a trade-off between
asynchronous lock time and jitter peaking/stability. These
capacitors should be as large as possible for the allowable
lock time and should be no smaller than the allowed value.
With the recommended values, jitter peaking of less than
0.1dB has been measured at the lower loop bandwidth as
shown in Figure 15. At higher loop bandwidths, it is difficult
to measure jitter peaking because of the limitation of the
measurement unit.
Fig. 16 Typical Jitter Transfer Curve
at setting A in Table 1
Fig. 15 Typical Jitter Peaking
However, because relatively larger CCP1 and CCP2
capacitors can be used, over-damping
of the loop
response occurs. An accurate jitter peaking measurement
of 0.1dB for the GS1515 requires the modulation source to
have a constant amount of jitter modulation index (within
0.1dB or 1.2%) over the frequency range beyond the loop
bandwidth.
It has been determined that for 282.9kHzUI, the minimum
value of the CCP1 and CCP2 capacitors should be no less
than 0.5µF. For added margin, 1µF capacitors are
recommended. The 1µF value gives a lock time of about
60ms in one attempt. For 25.72kHzUI, these capacitors
should be no less than 5.6µF. This would result in 340ms of
lock time. If needed, extra margin could be built by
increasing these capacitors at the expense of a longer
asynchronous lock time.

average of the ratio of the transitions inside the quadrature
clock and outside the quadrature is available at the PLCAP/
PLCAP pins. A signal, IJI, which is the buffered signal
available at the PLCAP is provided so that loading does not
effect the filter circuit. The signal at IJI is referenced with the
power supply such that the factor VIJI /V CC is a constant over
process and power supply for a given input jitter
modulation. The IJI signal has 10kΩ output impedance.

If the signal is not locked, the data transition phase could
be anywhere with respect to the internal clock or the
quadrature clock. In this case, the normalized filtered
sample of the quadrature clock will be 0.5. When VCO is
locked to the incoming data, data will only sample the
quadrature clock when it is logic high. The normalized
filtered sample quadrature clock will be 1.0. We chose a
threshold of 0.66 to generate the phase lock signal.
Because the threshold is lower than 1, it allows jitter to be
bigger than 0.5UI before the phase lock circuit reads it as
“not phase locked”.
INPUT JITTER INDICATOR (IJI)
This signal indicates the amount of excessive jitter (beyond
the quadrature clock window 0.5UI), which occurs beyond
the quadrature clock window (see Figure 18). All the input
data transitions occurring outside the quadrature clock
window, will be captured and filtered by the low pass filter
as mentioned in the Phase Lock section. The running time

LOCK LOGIC
Logic is used to produce the PLL_LOCK signal which is
based on the LFS signal and phase lock signal. When there
is not any data input, the integrator will charge and
eventually saturate at either end. By sensing the saturation
of the integrator, it is determined that no data is present. If
either data is not present or phase lock is low, the lock
signal is made low. Logic signals are used to acquire the
frequency by sweeping the integrator. Injecting a current

GS1515
The phase lock circuit is used to determine the phase
locked condition. It is done by generating a quadrature
clock by delaying the in-phase clock (the clock whose
falling edge is aligned to the data transition) by 166ps
(0.25UI at 1.5GHz) with the tolerance of 0.05UI. When the
PLL is locked, the falling edge of the in-phase clock is
aligned with the data edges as shown in Figure 18. The
quadrature clock is in a logic high state in the vicinity of
input data transitions. The quadrature clock is sampled and
latched by positive edges of the data transitions. The
generated signal is low pass filtered with an RC network.
The R is an on-chip 20kΩ resistor and CPL is an external
capacitor (recommended value 10nF). The time constant is
about 67µs, or more than a video line.
into the summing node of the integrator achieves the
sweep. The sweep is disabled once phase lock is asserted.
The direction of the sweep is also changed once LFS
saturates at either end.
When the outputs are used to differentially drive some other
device such as the GS1508, it is recommended to use 50Ω
transmission lines with the smallest possible signal swing
while allowing 10% variation at the output swing to select
the right choice of the RSET resistor. To drive the GS1508,
the recommended RSET resistor is 150Ω. There is no need to
compensate for the return-loss in this situation. The
uncompensated waveform at the output is shown in Figure
21.
The logic controls the mute block whenever the PLL_LOCK
signal has a LOW logic state. Whenever the mute signal is
asserted, previous state of the output is latched.
BYPASS
The BYPASS block bypasses the re-clocked/mute path of
the data whenever a logic low input is applied to the
BYPASS input. In the bypass mode, the mute does not
have any effect on the outputs. Also, in the bypass mode,
the internal PLL still locks to a valid HDTV signal and would
show PLL_LOCK.
CABLE DRIVER
The output of the GS1515 is a dual/complimentary current
mode cable driver stage. The output swing and impedance
can be varied. The following table may be used to select
the RSET resistor for the desired line impedance. Linear
interpolation can be used to determine the specific value of
the resistor for a given output swing at the load impedance.
For linear interpolation, either Figure 20 or the information in
Table 2 should be used. The admittance should be found
and then, by inverting the admittance, a resistor value for
the RSET can be found. The output can be used as dual
0.8V 75Ω cable drivers. It can also be used as a differential
transmission line driver. In this case, the pull-up resistor
should match the impedance of the transmission line
because the pull-up resistor acts as the source impedance.
When it is used in this case, a higher value of RSET resistor
could be used in order to reduce the swing and to save
power. Other HD-LINX™ products can handle such low
input swings. It should be noted that the minimum RSET
resistor cannot be less than 50Ω for reliability reasons
because of higher current density.

JITTER DEMODULATION (DM)
The differential jitter demodulation (DM) signal is available
at the DM and DM pins. This signal is the phase correction
signal of the PLL loop, which is amplified and buffered. If
the input jitter is modulated, the PLL tracks the jitter if it is
within loop bandwidth. To track the input jitter, the VCO has
to be adjusted by the phase detector via the charge pump.
Thus, the signal which controls the VCO contains the
information of the input jitter modulation. The jitter
demodulation signal is only valid if the input jitter is less
than 0.5UIp-p. The DM/DM signals have 10kΩ output
impedance, which could be low pass filtered with
appropriate capacitors to eliminate high frequency noise.
DFT_VEE should be connected to GND to activate DM/DM
signals.
The DM signals can be used as diagnostic tools. Assume
there is an HDTV SDI source, which contains excessive
noise during the horizontal blanking because of the
transient current flowing in the power supply. In order to
discover the source of the noise, one could probe around
the source board with a low frequency oscilloscope
(Bandwidth < 20MHz) that is triggered with an appropriately
filtered DM/DM signal. The true cause of the modulation will
be synchronous and will appear as a stationary signal with
respect to the DM/DM signal.

POWER SUPPLY NOISE REDUCITON
See Application Note 522-61.
Figure 23 shows an example of such a situation. An HDTV
SDI signal is modulated with a modulation signal causing
about 0.2UI jitter in Figure 23 (Channel 1). The GS1515
receives this signal and locks to it. Figure 23 (Channel 2)
shows the DM signal. Notice the wave shape of the DM
signal, which is synchronous to the modulating signal. The
DM/DM signal could also be used to compare the output
jitter of the HDTV signal source.

GO1515
The figure above shows the recommended application
circuit for the GS1515. The external VCO is the GO1515
and is specifically designed to be used with the GS1515.
Figures 24 through 28 show an example PC board layout of
the GS1515 IC and the GO1515 VCO. This application
board layout does not reflect every detail of the typical
application circuit but is used as a general guide to the
location of the critical parts. For further circuit and layout
details, refer to the EB1504/15 Evaluation Board Application

EXTERNAL PCB AFFECTS
RETURN LOSS
In the application where the GS1515 directly drives a cable,
it is possible to achieve an output return loss (ORL) of about
17dB to 1.485GHz. Care should be taken with the PCB
layout. It is suggested to use the EB1515 as a reference
layout. The use of very small ‘608’ surface mount
components and short distances between the components
will help in designing high frequency circuits. Openings in
the ground plane helps reduce PCB parasitic capacitance.
For best matching, a 10nH inductor in parallel with a 75Ω
resistor and a 1.5pF capacitor matches the 75Ω cable
impedance. The inductor and resistor cancel the parasitic
capacitance while the capacitor cancels the inductive effect
of the bond wire. In order to verify the performance of any
layout, a return loss measurement should be done by
shorting the inductor with a piece of wire, without the
GS1515 installed.
Unless the artwork is an exact copy of the recommended
layout, every design should be verified for output return
loss. Changes in the layout should be tweaked until a return
loss of 25dB is attained while the GS1515 is not mounted
and LCOMP is shorted. Once the device is mounted, different
inductors should be used to match the parasitic
capacitance of the IC. When the right inductor is used,
maximum return loss between 5MHz to 800MHz is
achievable. Then the shunt capacitor between of 0.5pF to
1.5pF should be tried to increase the return loss between
800MHz and 1.5GHz. The larger inductor causes slower
rise/fall time. The larger shunt capacitor causes a kink in the
output waveform. Thus, the waveform must be verified to
meet SMPTE 292M specifications.
Since there are two levels at the output, depending upon
the output state (logic high or low), measurement should be
done by latching the outputs in both states. Since the actual
output node voltages are different when a stream of data
passing as compared to the static situation created to
measure return loss, an interpolation is necessary. See the
GS1508 Preliminary Data Sheet for more information.

In applications where an adaptive equalizer is used with the
GS1515, extra care should be taken to avoid any noise
coupling between these two devices. The following
recommendations should be followed as layout guides
lines. Please refer to the layouts of the EB1515/04 and note
the following:
GS1515
OTHER LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
The GS1515 is a robust re-timing solution. The layout
should be done such that VCO (GO1515) is close to the
chip minimizing LFA and VCO traces between GS1515 and
GO1515. It is recommended to use the other side of the
PCB board whenever possible. The short trace of LFA will
reduce noise coupling to the control pin of the VCO. The
VCO trace should also be short to reduce EMI radiation
from a 1.5GHz clock source. Digital switching noise from
CMOS chips should be avoided for best performance. This
could be done by providing a moat of at least 50mil wide in
all the planes (the GND, VCC and signal layers) (One should
be able to see through the moat when the PCB is
fabricated). The power supply to the GS1515 Island should
be provided through ferrite beads to reject the power
supply spikes.
1. The use of power supply islands for GS1504 Adaptive
Equalizer.
2. The position of ferrite beads for power supply noise
filtering.
3. The ground under the transmission line for GS1504 and
GS1515 interface.
4. The transmission line decoupling at the GS1515 end to
the transmission line ground.
5. The isolation moat around the transmission line
reference ground.

POSSIBLE REASON
Wrong way of measuring jitter.
Follow jitter measuring procedure as shown in Fig
12.
Bad source / trigger reference signal.
Follow jitter measuring procedure as shown in Fig
12.
Power supply noise generated either by on board
digital circuit or switch mode DC power supply.
Shut down the digital circuit and power the board
from clean voltage regulated supply. The
acceptable noise in the VCC is 5mVp-p. If the
problem is resolved, filter high frequency noise with
ferrite beads and low frequency noise with Inductor
and Capacitor. The source of jitter could also be
found using diagnostic signal DM as mentioned in
the section JITTER DEMODULATION.
Bypass mode activated.
Apply logic high at the BYPASS pin.
Bad input jitter.
A.
Configure into bypass mode and look for
output jitter under infinite persistence for
about 5 minutes in a sampling scope, if total
jitter including random shots is more than
0.5UI, input jitter is out of specification. Debug
circuit, which is driving GS1515.
B.
Probe IJI by a low frequency digital scope to
capture any glitch. If glitches are not
identified, remove the 10nF PLCAP between
PLCAP and PLCAP. If glitches are identified,
then the sum of jitter of the reclocker and the
source is more than 0.5UI. Achieve reclocker
jitter around 0.1UI or less and reduce the
source jitter less than 0.4UI.
