Notes on Operation
1. Clock synthesizer (PLL)
The CXB1585N has a PLL-based clock recovery circuit for recovering the clock from the serial data. This clock
recovery circuit requires an external loop filter and an external resistor which determines the VCO center
frequency. The external part circuit and recommended constant values are shown in the figure below. The
parasitic capacitance attached to the IC pins (Pins 12, 13 and 14) which are used to connect external parts
should be kept as small as possible in order to obtain the good PLL characteristics. In addition, capacitor C1
should have a small temperature coefficient to reduce the temperature dependence of the VCO oscillation
frequency.

2. ECL input circuit
The ECL differential input pins are biased to VBB (VCC – 1.3V) via an 18kΩ resistor in the IC. See the figures
below for ECL differential input methods.

4. SDIN, SDIN∗inputs
Normally, the VCO performs frequency comparison with the SDIN and SDIN∗serial data. When there is no
input to SDIN and SDIN∗, frequency comparison is executed with REFCLK. However, the frequency may not
be compared to REFCLK if the noise and others are detected as a signal for no signal state because the both
phases of the ECL differential inputs are internally biased to VBB shown below. As countermeasure to this,
connect either of the differential inputs to VCC via a resistor to generate the voltage difference for the both
phases.
