General Description:
The ACS101A is a complete controller, driver and receiver IC, supporting full­duplex asynchronous transmission from DC to 76.8kbps and synchronous data rates up to 512kbps over one optical fiber. The ACS101A also supports two additional low frequency asynchronous channels or RS-232 handshake signals, RTS, CTS, DTR and DSR.
The ACS101A employs data compression and time compression techniques, affording high launch power in short bursts, leading to a low average power consumption. The advantage of this approach is that high link budgets can be achieved with inexpensive optical components.
Communicating optical modems automatically maintain synchronisation with each other such that the receive phase of one modem is lined-up with the transmit phase of the other, compensating for the propagation delay presented by the link. Link lengths from zero to maximum distance are catered for automatically. In 'standard' mode, the fiber may be up to 2.5km

Inter-IC Encoding Technique
The 3B4B encoding method is used for communication between ACS101A, thus ensuring that there is no DC component in the signal. The encoding and decoding is transparent to the user.
Transmitter and Receiver Functions
The TxD input data of the transmitting modem is compressed, filtered, and 3B4B encoded. In the receiving modem, 3B4B encoding ensures easy extraction of the bit-clock. The received data is filtered, decoded, then stored in an output memory. The memory provides time expansion, de-jittering and frequency compensation. Finally, the data is filtered again to improve BER then directed to the RxD output pin.
Transmit Current
The transmit current to the LED can be defined by the Transmit Current pin (TRC). The current is set to the maximum value (~100mA) when TRC is unconnected. The current is set to the minimum value (~10mA) when TRC is connected directly to ground. To obtain current values between minimum and maximum TRC is connected to ground through a resistor. The resistor value R is given by:

Modem Control Signals
RSS.
RTS, CTS, DTR and DSR signals may be used in either of two modes, depending on the RSS setting:
RSS = Low; data transmission mode RSS = High; modem handshake mode
RSS Low - Data Transmission Mode.
In data transmission mode the inputs RTS and DTR are sampled continuously at (crystal freq.) / 1536, 6.0kHz with a crystal of
9.216MHz. The outputs appear at CTS and DSR respectively.
RSS High - Modem Handshake Mode.
In modem handshake mode the control signals are used as conventional handshake signals between the DTE (terminal) and the DCE (modem):
DSR (Data Set Ready) DCE
The DCE is powered up and asserts a Low (active level) on DSR. The DTE is informed that it is connected to a “live” DCE.
DTR (Data Terminal Ready) DTE
The DTE is powered-up and asserts a Low (active level) on DTR. The DCE is informed that it is connected to a “live” DTE. If DTR is set High, the DCE responds by asserting DCDB High.
RTS (Request to Send) DTE
The DTE recognises that synchronisation has been achieved (DCDB active) and asserts a Low (active level) on RTS. This constitutes a request by the DTE to send data to the far-end modem.
CTS (Clear to Send) DCE
The DCE recognises the active RTS signal and responds by asserting a Low (active level) on CTS. If RTS is set High the DCE responds by bringing CTS High.
DCDB (Data Carrier Detect) DCE
When synchronisation is achieved between DCEs the DCDB signal is set Low (active level). If synchronisation is lost the DCE sets DCDB and CTS High.
Crystal Clock
A crystal may be connected between the pins XLI and XLO. Alternatively, XLI may be driven directly by an external clock. The operational frequency range is 5MHz to 19MHz, though communicating devices must be driven at the same nominal frequency with a tolerance of 100ppm. In synchronous mode the frequency should be 9.216MHz, resulting in the standard range of synchronous communication frequencies selected by DR1-DR4.

For asynchronous operation, the choice of clock frequency dictates the sample rate of the asynchronous data appearing at the input TxD, and consequently the jitter on the output RxD. The sample frequency is always 1/36 of the chosen clock frequency in 'standard' mode and 1/72 in 'double' mode.
enables the system designer to use the ACS101A for the transmission of packets of data with blank periods between packets. The minimum quanta of data that can be sent over the link is three bits.
In asynchronous mode the RxCL clock is turned off.
Integrating Capacitor
The ACS101A requires the use of an integrating ceramic capacitor of value 10nF - 33nF between pins CNT and GND for a crystal oscillator frequency range from 18MHz to 5MHz respectively.
PORB
The PORB pin is a single-pin alternative to the reset combination DM3 = 0, DM2 = 0, and DM1 = 1. If left unconnected the input pulls High to the operational state. Selecting reset using DM1­DM3 or holding PORB Low turns off the LED and most of the digital logic. The device has been designed to power-up correctly and operate without the aid of PORB.
Transmission Clock TxCL
The ACS101A gives a choice between internally and externally generated transmission clocks (see Figure 3. Timing diagrams for set-up and hold specifications).
When the CKC pin is held Low, TxCL is configured as an output producing a clock at the frequency defined by DR1-DR4. Data is clocked into the device on the rising edge of the internally supplied clock.
When the CKC pin is held High, TxCL is configured as an input, and will accept an externally produced transmission clock with a tolerance of up to 500ppm with respect to the transmission rate determined by DR1-DR4.
Diagnostic/Operational Modes
The diagnostic/operational modes input pins DM1-DM3 may be changed asynchronously within a window of (crystal clock period ) * 1536. The diagnostic mode signals are sampled 1536 * (crystal clock period) after a change is detected on any of the DM inputs. The sampled value is taken as the valid diagnostic mode.
Diagnostic Mode Lock DM3 D M2 DM1
Full-duplex drift 0 0 0 Reset 0 0 1 Remote loopback active 0 1 0 Full-duplex ra ndom 0 1 1 Local loopback drift 1 0 0 Full-duplex slave active 1 0 1 Full-duplex master drift 1 1 0 Full-duplex active 1 1 1
Full-Duplex
In full-duplex configuration the RxCL clock of both devices tracks the average frequency of the TxCL clock of the opposing end of the link. The receiving Digital Phase-Lock Loop (DPLL) system makes periodic adjustments to the RxCL clock to ensure that the average frequency is exactly the same as the far-end TxCL clock. In this mode each TxCL is an independent master clock and each RxCL a slave clock.
2
The ACS101A performance is at its best when external changes on input pins are synchronised with internal clocks. Therefore, superior performance is likely when using the internally generated data transmission clock. If however, the externally generated transmission clock is used, then TxCL and TxD are generally asynchronous to the ACS101A internal clocks, performance in this case will be enhanced by limiting the edge speed of the TxCL and TxD signals so that they are greater than 150 ns. The modem has been designed to cope with very slow edges on inputs, without fear of metastability problems.
Receive Clock RxCL
In synchronous mode data is valid on the rising edge of RxCL clock (see Figure 3. Timing diagrams). To ensure that the average receive frequency is the same as the transmitted frequency RxCL is generated from a Digital Phase-Lock Loop (DPLL) system. The DPLL makes periodic corrections to the output RxCL clock to compensate for differences in the crystal values, and in the case of an externally supplied transmission clock, TxCL, compensation is also made for differences in frequency between this supplied data clock and the selected clock rate (DR1-DR4). The DPLL is adaptive and will minimise the frequency of correction and jitter when the crystal values and transmission clocks are tightly toleranced.
If the ACS101A receive FIFO empties (e.g. transmissions at far­end are halted) the RxCL clock stops, therefore rising edges of the RxCL clock always correspond to valid received data bits. This
Full-Duplex Slave
In slave mode the TxCL and the RxCL clock is derived from the TxCL clock of the opposing side of the link, such that the average frequency is exactly the same. It is therefore essential that only one modem is configured in slave mode at a time. The CKC pin is overridden such that TxCL is always configured as an output.
Full-Duplex Master
In master mode, the local RxCL clock is internally generated from the local TxCL clock. The local TxCL clock may be internally or externally generated. Master mode is only valid if the far-end device is configured in slave mode or if the far-end TxCL clock is derived from the far-end RxCL clock. Only one modem within a communicating pair may be configured as a master.
Local Loopback
In local loopback mode data is looped back inside the near-end modem and is output at its own RxD output. The data is also sent to the far-end modem; synchronisation between the modems is maintained. In local loopback mode data received from the far­end device is ignored, except to maintain lock. When local loopback is activated the DCDB signal assumes the logic High state. If concurrent requests occur for local and remote loopback, local loopback is selected.
When RSS = 0, RTS and DTR are looped back to CTS and DSR respectively.

Remote Loopback
In remote loopback mode the near-end modem sends a request to the far-end modem to loopback its received data, thus returning the data. The far-end modem also outputs the received data at its RxD. Both modems are exercised completely, as well as the LEDs and the fiber optic link. Once remote loopback is established, the DCDB of the near-end (initiating) modem is Low, and DCDB on the far-end modem is set High. Any data appearing on the TxD input of the far-end modem is ignored.
When RSS = 0, RTS and DTR are looped back to CTS and DSR respectively.
Drift Lock
Communicating modems attain a stable state where the 'transmit window' of one modem coincides with the 'receive window' of the other allowing for delay through the optical link. Adjustments to machine cycles are made automatically during operation to compensate for differences in crystal frequencies which cause loss of synchronisation.
Using drift lock, synchronisation described above depends on a difference in the crystal frequencies at each end of the link, the greater the difference the faster the locking. Therefore, if the difference between crystal frequencies is very small (a few ppm), automatic locking may take tens of seconds.
Active Lock Mode
Active lock mode may be used to accelerate synchronisation of a pair of communicating modems. This mode synchronises the modems with less than 250 ms delay, by adjusting the machine cycles of the modem. Active lock reduces the machine cycle of the device by 0.5 % ensuring rapid lock. After synchronisation the machine cycle reverts to normal.
Note that only one device can be configured in active lock at any one time, and thus the DM pins must not be permanently wired High on both devices in a production system. Active lock mode is usually invoked on power-up.
One common way of temporarily invoking active lock is to adopt the standard RC time-constant method. This is achieved on the ACS101A by connecting DM1, DM2 and DM3 together, and attaching that node to an RC arrangement, i.e. with the capacitor to 5V and the resistor to ground. This creates a 5V à 0V ramp on power-up. The RC time-constant should be Ca. 1 second.
random lock will be the preferred mode. The effect of mixing locking modes on locking speed is tabulated below:
Device A Device B Locking Speed Mode Mode
Drift Drift Drift Drift Active Active Drift Random Random Active Active Not allowed Active Random Random Random Random Random
LIN (Lock Indicator)
LIN goes High when synchronisation or “lock” is achieved. Lock is normally an invert of DCDB. But unlike DCDB is not affected by the status of RTS and DTR, or the selected diagnostic mode.
ERD (Error Detector)
This signal can be used to give an indication of the quality of the optical link. Even when a DC signal is applied to the TxD and TxCL inputs, the ACS101A transmits approximately 256 kbps over the link in each direction. This control data is used to maintain the timing and the relative positioning of transmit and receive windows. The transmit data and the control data is constantly monitored to make sure it is compatible with the 3B4B coding rules. If an infringement of the rules is detected then ERD will go High and will remain High until reset. ERD may be initialised by applying reset (DM1-DM3) or PORB, or by removing the fiber-optic cable from one side of the link thereby forcing the device temporarily out of lock. ERD is only an indication and should not be considered as a substitute for Bit Error Rate (BER) tests.
LED Considerations
Since LEDs from different suppliers may emit different wavelengths, it is recommended that the LEDs in a communicating pair of modems are obtained from the same supplier. The emission spectrum of an LED is a function of temperature, so a temperature difference between the ends of a link reduces the responsivity of the receiving diode. This results in a reduction in the link budget. Information is given in the LED suppliers’ data sheets. The following manufacturers have LEDs that have been successfully tested with the ACS101A, and Acapella will be glad to assist with contact names and addresses on request:
Random Lock
This is a new mode of operation (over the ACS100), both ends of a link can be permanently configured in this mode (i.e. with hard­wired DM1-DM3 pins), which will achieve lock in typically 1 second, and worst case 5 seconds.
Like active lock, random lock will operate even when both ends of the link are driven by identical clock frequencies (0ppm difference). Random lock mode is compatible with drift lock available on the ACS100.
Mixing Lock modes
It is possible to mix all combinations of locking modes once the modems are locked, however, prior to synchronisation two modems configured in active lock will not operate. Normally,

Most suppliers support the standard range of fiber e.g. ST, SMA & FC.
Power Supply Decoupling
The ACS101A contains a highly sensitive amplifier, capable of responding to extremely low current levels. To exploit this sensitivity it is important to reduce external noise to a low level compared to the input signal from the LED. The modem should have an independent power trace to the point where power enters the board.

Figure 4. shows the recommended power supply decoupling. The LED should be sited very close to the LDN and LDP pins. A generous ground plane should be provided, especially around the sensitive LDN and LDP pins. The modem should be protected from EMI/RFI sources in the standard ways.
Link Budgets
TxD Inputs
There is a choice of pins for TxD, pins 8 and 27. Only one input should be used. The other input will pull-up to VDD via an internal resistor. Pin 8 is the recommended choice since it is further away from the sensitive analogue pins. However, pin 27 is available for designers wishing to maintain compatibility with the ACS100.
The link budget is the difference between the power coupled to the fiber via the transmit LED and the power required to realise a current of 500 nA (minimum amplifier sensitivity) via the receive LED. The link budget is normally specified in dB or dBm, and represents the maximum attenuation allowed between communicating LEDs. The budget is utilised in terms of the cable length, cable connectors and splices. It usually includes an operating margin to allow for degradation in LED performance.
The power coupled to the cable is a function of the efficiency of the LED, the current applied to the LED and the diameter of the fiber optic cable. The larger the cable diameter the greater the power coupled. The conversion current produced by the receive diode is a function of the LED efficiency and the cable diameter. The conversion efficiency is measured in terms of its ability to convert the available power to current, known as the responsivity, given by (A/W). Some examples of link budgets are given in Note 7: Link Budget Examples. High quality LEDs can offer > 12dB link budget on 50µm fiber.
Maximum Link Length
The internal timing chain within the ACS101A supports a maximum link length of 5km, with 2 modes giving provision for the link length to 2.5km ('standard' mode) and 5km ('double' mode) with a crystal frequency of 9.216MHz. However, the maximum link length as determined by the ACS101A timing chain is inversely proportional to the crystal frequency. Hence with a 18.4MHz crystal the range is decreased to 1.25km. The maximum link length of 5km in 'double' mode is subject to the optical link budget that is available.
Digital Mode
The ACS101A may be used as a controller and data buffer, with external analogue circuitry for data transmission and reception. This external circuitry could be used to create a higher­performance fiber link, or allow the ACS101A to be used in non-fiber applications such as wire or RF interfaces.
The digital interface mode is selected by connecting pins 5 (DP2) and pin 6 (DP3) to ground and pin 2 (DP1) to VD+. In this mode the data to be sent over the link is produced on pin 17 and the received data from the link is input on pin 18, instead of using the LDN and LDP pins. A simple digital connection is also possible with pin 17 of the first I.C. driving into pin 18 of the second I.C. and pin 17 of the second I.C. driving into pin 18 of the first I.C.
In addition, in digital mode, to aid data reception with external amplifiers or AGCs, pin 26 produces a signal which indicates the data reception time of the data burst over the link. After the data burst is sent, the data output on pin 17 goes high.
Figure 5 shows the inter IC wiring connections for a simple digital communications link using the digital interface mode. This example shows a single wire connection between the two ICs (two including ground) for data to and from each IC. This only demonstrates how a simple single medium interface can be used, because each IC transmits it's data at different times, automatically interleaving it's transmitted data with the data from the other IC. Any other medium for connecting the ICs could be used, such as RF, twisted pair or mains power carrier for example.

Note 4: The LED is switched on for approximately 1/5th of the time, with a cycle of 160 µs a t
9.216MHz.
Note 5: The ACS101A is at its best with low capacitance LEDs - Acapella is able to supply LEDs with
lower than 20pF capacitance.
Note 6: The ACS101A incorporates a differential receiver front end. Single ended reception,
compatible with the ACS101 is still selectable by connecting VG, pin 38, low, in which case the LED reverse bias will be as specified for the ACS101, 1.3 to 1.8v.
