X3T11 at 1.0 Gbits/s and
1.25 Gbits/s.
Each of the four transceivers independently provides
complete serialize/deserialize (SERDES) and transmit and receive functions. The device is available in a
217-pin PBGA package.
The transmitter section accepts TTL compatible data
at the 10-bit parallel input port. The parallel input
data is latched on the rising edge of TXCLKx. It also
accepts the low-speed, TTL compatible system
clock, REFCLK, and uses this clock to synthesize the
internal high-speed serial bit clock. The serialized
data is then available at the differential PECL outputs, terminated in 50 Ω or 75 Ω to drive eit her an
optical transmitter or coaxial media.
The receive section receives high-speed serial data
at its differential PECL input port. This data is fed to
the digital clock recovery section, which generates a
recovered clock and retimes the data. The retimed
data is deserialized and presented as 10-bit parallel
data on the output port. A divided-down version of
the recovered clock, synchronous with parallel data
bytes, is also available as a TTL compatible output.
The receive section recognizes the comma character
and aligns the comma-containing byte on the word
boundary, when ENCDET = 1.

LU5X34FPreliminary Data Sheet

Transmitter Section
The transmitter accepts 8b/10b encoded bits in 10-bit
parallel form and converts to serial format for up to
1.25 Gbits/s transmission. The serial nonreturn to zero
(NRZ) bits are then shifted out of the device at a maximum rate of 1.25 Gbits/s. Internally, the device uses
two parallel shift registers that operate at half rate (i.e.,
a maximum of 625 MHz) for reduced power consumption. The two shift registers drive the PECL output
buffer in an interleaved manner to construct the
1.25 Gbits/s output data stream.
The typical transmit-and-receive, high-speed I/O inter-
facing for a single-channel backplane application is
shown in Figure 9.
The transmit shift register and other circuits are driven
with clocks generated from a 500 MHz—625 MHz internal clock. This internal clock is sourced from a voltagecontrolled oscillator (VCO) that is locked to the external
reference of 100 MHz—125 MHz. The internal transmit
phase- lock loop multiplies the frequency of the input
reference clock by a factor of 5, and controls the transmit jitter bandwidth with appropriate design of the jitter
transfer function. The transmit phase-lock loop generates multiple clock phases that are all used by each of
the four receiver circuits. The clock phases are derived
from the transmit VCO.

Receiver Section
Each of the quad receiver circuits recovers clock from
and retimes the serial input data. The data is input to
the receiver on differential PECL buffers. External termination resistors are supplied by the user in accordance with
differential inputs, HDINP and HDINN, are ac-coupled
to the device and internally biased to the PECL input
common-mode range center. See Figure 9 for the typical application and termination of the transmission
lines.
The receiver data-retiming circuit uses a digital timing
recovery loop that compares the phase of the input
data to multiple phases of the on-device VCO in the
transmit section. One of the phases is chosen to retime
the receive data. A digital low-pass filter is used in the
timing recovery loop to reject jitter from the data input.
A novel phase interpolation circuit permits the retiming
clock’s phase to be stepped with fine resolution for precise alignment of the sampling clock within the data
eye. Use of this digital data locking scheme for each
receiver advantageously avoids the use of multiple
analog phase-lock loops on-device that can potentially
injection lock to one another. Additionally, the digital
data locking loop maintains precise loop dynamics,
hence, the jitter transfer function is process and temperature independent.

Lock to Reference
The receive circuit has two modes of operation: lock to
reference, and lock to data with retiming. When no data
or invalid data is present on the HDINP and HDINN
input pins, the user can program the device to ignore
the input data by setting LCKREFN equal to logic 0. In
this mode, neither the PECL input buffer nor the RX
parallel data bus toggles. In normal operation, the
LCKREFN is a logic 1 and the receiver attempts to lock
to the incoming data. If the input data is invalid or outside the nominal ± frequency range, the receive digital
PLL will simply ramp the phase of the output clock until
it locks to data.

Parallel Output Port
Timing for the parallel output data and the 50 MHz to
62.5 MHz receive-byte clock is given in Table 14.
Two low data rate receive-byte clocks are available as
TTL compatible outputs during use of the parallel output port in 10-bit mode. RXCLK1 is the receive byte
clock used by the protocol device to register bytes 0
and 2. RXCLK0 is the receive-byte clock used by the
protocol device to register bytes 1 and 3, and it is
180 degrees out of phase with RXCLK1. Both RXCLK1
and RXCLK0 can be stretched during byte alignment
but not truncated or slivered. The maximum allowable
frequency of these two clocks under all circumstances,
excluding start-up, will not exceed 80 MHz. The startup time is specified as 1 ms.
Loopback Mode Operation
A control signal input, EWRAP, selects between two
possible sets of inputs: normal data
internal loopback data. When EWRAP = 1, the serial
output ports, HDOUTP and HDOUTN, remain active.
