MULTI-RATE CLOCK RECOVERY
DATA_IN
PIN ASSIGNMENT (1.575 x 3.2 inch SMA)
The M844 Multi-Rate Clock Recovery module provides
low jitter clock recovery from NRZ or RZ input data
formats. Four data rates are digitally selectable: 9.953,
10.3125, 10.664, or 10.709Gb/s. Incoming data is first
amplified by a limiting amplifier. The data is then both:
a) provided as the module’s unretimed data output, and
b) applied to the clock recovery circuitry. A Phase
Locked Loop (PLL) incorporates frequency multipliers
and a SAW-based Voltage Control SAW Oscillator
(VCSO) to minimize clock jitter. The VCSO provides the
high Q, low noise, and high stability needed for the
narrow bandwidth PLL operation. Micro-strip bandpass
filters are used to produce sinusodal clock output with
low harmonic and sub-harmonic distortion.
