APPLICATIONS
Cable equalization plus clock and data recovery for all high
speed serial digital interface applications involving SMPTE
259M-C.
DESCRIPTION
The GS7025 provides automatic cable equalization and
high performance clock and data recovery for serial digital
signals. The GS7025 receives either single-ended or
differential serial digital data and outputs differential clock
and retimed data signals at PECL levels (800mV). The onboard cable equalizer provides up to 35dB of gain at
135MHz which typically results in equalization of greater
than 350m of high quality cable at 270Mb/s.
The GS7025 requires only one external resistor to set the
VCO centre frequency and provides adjustment free
operation.
The GS7025 has dedicated pins to indicate signal
strength, carrier detect, and LOCK. Optional external
resistors allow the carrier detect threshold level to be
customized to the user's requirement. In addition, the
GS7025 provides an 'Output Eye Monitor Test' (OEM_TEST)
for diagnostic testing of signal integrity after equalization,
prior to reslicing. The serial clock outputs can also be
disabled to reduce power. The GS7025 operates from a
single +5 or -5 volt supply.

CONTROL RANGE
The GS7025 Serial Digital Receiver is a bipolar integrated
circuit containing a built-in cable equalizer and reclocker.
Serial digital signals are applied to either the analog
SDI/SDI
SDI/SDI
or digital DDI/DDI inputs. Signals applied to the
inputs are equalized and then passed to a
multiplexer. Signals applied to the DDI/DDI
the equalizer and go directly to the multiplexer. The
analog/digital select pin (A/D
then passed to the reclocker.
Packaged in a 44 pin MQFP, the receiver operates from a
single 5V supply at a data rate of 270Mb/s.
1. CABLE EQUALIZER
The automatic cable equalizer is designed to equalize a
serial digital data rate of 270Mb/s.
The serial data signal is connected to the input pins
(SDI/SDI
) either differentially or single-endedly. The input
signal passes through a variable gain equalizing stage
whose frequency response closely matches the inverse
cable loss characteristic. In addition, the variation of the
frequency response with control voltage imitates the
variation of the inverse cable loss characteristic with cable
length. The gain stage provides up to 35dB of gain at
135MHz which typically results in equalization of greater
than 350m of Belden 8281 cable at 270Mb/s.
The edge energy of the equalized signal is monitored by a
detector circuit which produces an error signal
corresponding to the difference between the desired edge
energy and the actual edge energy. This error signal is
integrated by an external differential AGC filter capacitor
(AGC+/AGC-) providing a steady control voltage for the
gain stage. As the frequency response of the gain stage is
automatically varied by the application of negative
feedback, the edge energy of the equalized signal is kept
at a constant level which is representative of the original
edge energy at the transmitter.
The equalized signal is also DC restored, effectively
restoring the logic threshold of the equalized signal to its
corrective level irrespective of shifts due to AC coupling.
1-1. Signal Strength Indica tion/Carrier Detect
The GS7025 incorporates an analog signal strength
indicator/carrier detect (SSI/CD) output indicating both the
presence of a carrier and the amount of equalization
applied to the signal. The voltage output of this pin versus
cable length (signal strength) is shown in Figure 2 and
Figure 8.
With 0m of cable (800mV input signal levels), the SSI/CD
output voltage is approximately 4.5V. As the cable length
increases, the SSI/CD voltage decreases linearly providing
accurate correlation between the SSI/CD voltage and cable
length.
GENNUM CORPORATION
inputs bypass
) determines which signal is
Fig. 8 SSI/CD Voltage vs. Cable Length
When the signal strength decreases to the level set at the
"Carrier Detect Threshold Adjust" pin, the SSI/CD voltage
goes to a logic "0" state (0.8 V) and can be used to drive
other TTL/CMOS compatible logic inputs. In addition, when
loss of carrier is detected, the SDO/SDO
outputs are muted
(set to a known static state).
1-2. Carrier Detect Threshold Adjust
This feature has been designed for use in applications such
as routers where signal crosstalk and circuit noise cause
the equalizer to output erroneous data when no input signal
is present. The use of a Carrier Detect function with a fixed
internal reference does not solve this problem since the
signal to noise ratio on the circuit board could be
significantly less than the default signal detection level set
by the on chip reference. To alleviate this problem, the
GS7025 provides a user adjustable threshold to meet the
unique conditions that exist in each user's application.
Override and internal default settings have also been
provided to give the user total flexibility.
The threshold level at which loss of carrier is detected is
adjustable via external resistors at the CD_ADJ pin (
Figure 4
simple resistor divider circuit (
Circuit
). The control voltage at the CD_ADJ pin is set by a
see Typical Application
). The threshold level is adjustable from 200m to
350m. By default (no external resistors), the threshold is
typically 320m. In noisy environments, it is not
recommended to leave this pin floating. Connecting this pin
to V
disables the SDO/SDO muting function and allows for
EE
maximum possible cable length equalization.
1-3. Output Eye Monitor Test
The GS7025 also provides an 'Output Eye Monitor Test'
(OEM_TEST) which allows the verification of signal integrity
after equalization, prior to reslicing. The OEM_TEST pin is
an open collector current output that requires an external
50Ω pullup resistor. When the pullup resistor is not used,
the OEM_TEST block is disabled and the internal
OEM_TEST circuit is powered down. The OEM_TEST

provides a 100mVp-p
signal when driving a 50Ω
oscilloscope input. Due to additional power consumed by
this diagnostic circuit, it is not recommended for continuous
operation.
2. RECLOCKER
The reclocker receives a differential serial data stream from
the internal multiplexer. It locks an internal clock to the
incoming data. It outputs the differential PECL retimed data
signal on SDO/SDO
SCO
. The timing between the output and clock signals is

2-2. VCO
The VCO is a differential low phase noise, factory trimmed
oscillator that provides increased immunity to PCB noise
and precise control of the VCO centre frequency. The VCO
has a pull range of ±15% about the centre frequency. A

applications is 365Ω.
When the input data stream is removed for an excessive
period of time
(see AC electrical characteristics table),
the
VCO frequency can drift from the 270Mb/s centre frequency
to the limits shown in Table1.

The reclocker contains three main functional blocks: the
Phase Locked Loop, Frequency Acquisition, and Logic
Circuit.
2-1. Phase Locked Loop (PLL)
The Phase Locked Loop locks the internal PLL clock to the
incoming data rate. A simplified block diagram of the PLL is
shown below. The main components are the VCO, the
phase detector, the charge pump, and the loop filter.

2-3. Phase Detector
The phase detector compares the phase of the PLL clock
with the phase of the incoming data signal and generates
error correcting timing pulses. The phase detector design
provides a linear transfer function which maximizes the
input jitter tolerance of the PLL.
2-4. Charge Pump
The charge pump takes the phase detector output timing
pulses and creates a charge packet that is proportional to
the system phase error. A unique differential charge pump
design insures that the output phase does not drift when
data transitions are sparse. This makes the GS7025 ideal
for SMPTE 259M-C applications where pathological signals
have data transition densities of 0.05.
2-5. Loop Filter
The loop filter integrates the charge pump packets and
produces a VCO control voltage. The loop filter is
comprised of three external components which are
connected to pins LF+, LFS, and LF-. The loop filter design
is fully differential giving the GS7025 increased immunity to
PCB board noise.
The loop filter components are critical in determining the
loop bandwidth and damping of the PLL. Choosing these
component values is discussed in detail in the PLL DESIGN
GUIDELINES section. Recommended values for SMPTE
259M-C applications are shown in the Typical Application
Circuit. No further changes from the recommended GS7025
loop filter components are necessary.

3. FREQUENCY ACQUISITION
The core PLL is able to lock if the incoming data rate and
the PLL clock frequency are within the PLL capture range
(which is slightly larger than the loop bandwidth). To assist
the PLL to lock, the GS7025 uses a frequency acquisition
circuit.
The frequency acquisition circuit sweeps the VCO control
voltage so that the VCO frequency changes from -10% to
+10% of the centre frequency. Figure 11 shows a typical
sweep waveform.

The VCO frequency starts at point A and sweeps up
attempting to lock. If lock is not established during the up
sweep, the VCO is then swept down. The system is
designed such that the probability of locking within one
cycle period is greater than 0.999. If the system does not
lock within one cycle period, it will attempt to lock in the
subsequent cycle.

4. LOCKING
The GS7025 indicates valid lock when the following three
conditions are satisfied:
1. Input data is detected.
2. The incoming data signal and the PLL clock are phase
locked.
3. The system is not locked to an integer-multiple harmonic
of a 270Mb/s SMPTE 259M-C signal.
The GS7025 defines the presence of input data when at
least one data transition occurs every 1µs.
The GS7025 assumes that it is NOT locked to a harmonic if
the pattern ‘101’ or ‘010’ (in the reclocked data stream)
occurs at least once every t
/3 seconds. Using the
sys
recommended component values, this corresponds to
approximately 150µs. In a harmonically locked system, all
bit cells are double clocked and the above patterns
become ‘110011’ and ‘001100’, respectively.
4-1. Lock Time
Synchronous switching refers to the case where the input
data is changed from one source to another source which is
at the same data rate (but different phase).
When input data to the GS7025 is removed, the GS7025
latches the current state. Therefore, when data is reapplied,
the GS7025 begins the lock procedure at the previous
locked data rate. As a result, in synchronous switching
applications, the GS7025 locks very quickly. The nominal
lock time depends on the switching time and is summarized
in the Table 3.

3-1. Logic Circuit
The GS7025 is controlled by a finite state logic circuit which
is clocked by an asynchronous system clock. That is, the
system clock is completely independent of the incoming
data rate. The system clock runs at low frequencies, relative
to the incoming data rate, and thus reduces interference to
the PLL.The period of the system clock is set by the C

typical SMPTE 259M-C application is approximately 1.3ms.
The GS7025 has a dedicated LOCK output (pin 39)
indicating when the device is locked. It should be noted
that in synchronous switching applications where the
switching time is less than 0.5µs, the LOCK output will NOT
be de-asserted and the data outputs will NOT be muted.

5. OUTPUT DATA MUTING

GS7025
The GS7025 internally mutes the SDO and SDO outputs
when the device is not locked. When muted, SDO/SDO
are
latched providing a logic state to the subsequent circuit
and avoiding a condition where noise could be amplified
and appear as data.
1. Input signal amplitudes are between 200 and 2000mV.
2. The common mode input voltage range is as specified
in the DC Characteristics table.
Commonly used interface examples are shown in Figures

7. STRESSFULL DATA PATTERNS
outputs to VCC.
All PLL's are susceptible to stressful data patterns which
can introduce bit errors in the data stream. PLL's are most
sensitive to patterns which have long run lengths of 0's or
1's (low data transition densities for a long period of time).
The GS7025 is designed to operate with low data transition
densities such as the SMPTE 259M-C pathological signal
(data transition density = 0.05).
8. I/O DESCRIPTION

)
DDI/DDI are high impedance inputs which accept
differential or single-ended input drive. Two conditions must
be observed when interfacing to these inputs:
Figure 14 illustrates the simplest interface to the GS7025
digital inputs. In this example, the driving device generates
the PECL level signals (800mV amplitudes) having a
common mode input range between 0.4 and 4.6V. This
scheme is recommended when the trace lengths are less
than 1in. The value of the resistors depends on the output
driver circuitry.
Fig. 14
When trace lengths become greater than 1in, controlled
impedance traces should be used. The recommended
interface is shown in Figure 15. In this case, a parallel
resistor (R
) is placed near the GS7025 inputs to
LOAD
terminate the controlled impedance trace. The value of
R
should be twice the value of the characteristic
LOAD
impedance of the trace. In addition, place series resistors
(R
) near the driving chip to serve as source

terminations. They should be equal to the value of the trace
impedance. Assuming 800mV output swings at the driver,

SDO/SDO and SCO/SCO are current mode outputs that
require external pullups (

swings are 800mV when 75Ω resistors are used. To shift the
signal levels down by approximately 0.7 volts, place a
diode between V
and the pullups. When the output traces

are longer than 1in, use controlled impedance traces. Place
the pullup resistors at the end of the output traces as they
