_______________General Description
The MAX3270 is a complete Clock Recovery and Data Retiming IC for 155Mbps and 622Mbps SDH/SONET and ATM applications. The MAX3270 meets Bellcore and CCITT jitter tolerance specifications ensuring error­free data recovery. Recovered clock and data are phase aligned using a fully integrated phase-locked loop (PLL). An output frequency monitor (FM) is includ­ed to detect loss of PLL acquisition or a loss of input data.
The MAX3270 has differential ECL input and output interfaces, so it is less susceptible to noise in a high­frequency environment. The fully integrated PLL includes an integrated phase-frequency detector that eliminates the need for external references.

_______________Detailed Description
The block diagram of Figure 1 shows the MAX3270’s architecture. The phase-locked loop (PLL) consists of a phase/frequency detector (PFD), a loop filter amplifier, and a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO).
Phase Detector
The phase detector produces a voltage proportional to the phase difference of the incoming data and the out­put of the recovered clock. Because of its feedback nature, the PLL will drive the error voltage to zero, mak­ing the phase difference zero and aligning the recov­ered clock to the incoming data. An external phase-adjustment pin (PHADJ) allows the user to vary phase alignment.
Frequency Detector
A frequency detector is also incorporated into the PLL. Frequency detection aids in the acquisition of the input data; this frequency-aided acquisition is necessary dur­ing start-up conditions, since the input data stream and VCO difference frequency may be outside the PLL
bandwidth. The input data stream is sampled by quad­rature components of the VCO clock, generating a dif­ference frequency. Depending on the rotation of the difference frequency, the PFD will drive the VCO so that the difference frequency is driven to zero. Once fre­quency acquisition is obtained, the frequency detector will return to a neutral state.
Loop Filter and VCO
The PLL is a second-order transfer function whose bandwidth is set by the loop filter. The VCO is integrat­ed into the PLL and always operates at 622MHz. The center frequency is tightly controlled by laser trimming, limiting frequency drift when lock is lost. 155Mbps or 622Mbps mode is selected by the clock-rate select (CRS) pin. CRS selects the inputs to multiplexer MUX2.
The internal VCO can be bypassed with an external clock applied to the EXC input. The external clock select (EXCS) controls the input selections to multiplex­ers MUX1 and MUX2.

__________________Design Procedure
Selecting the Data Rate
The MAX3270 is intended for use in SDH/SONET sys­tems operating at 155.52Mbps or 622.08Mbps data rates. TTL inputs (CRS and EXCS) are provided for selecting the recovered clock rate (Table 1). It is also possible to switch to an externally supplied clock by enabling the EXC input. The EXC input is a high-speed single-ended ECL interface capable of handling serial clock rates of 155MHz and 622MHz.
Setting the Loop Filter
The loop filter within the PLL consist of a transconduc­tance amplifier and the external filter elements Rf and Cf (Figure 2). The closed-loop bandwidth of a PLL can be approximated by:
KDKOGm Rf
where KDis the gain of the phase detector, KO is the gain of the VCO, and Gm is the transconductance of the filter amplifier. Because this filter is an integrator, a zero in the open-loop gain is required for stability. This zero is set by the following equation:
wz= 1 / (Rf Cf)
where the recommended external values are Rf = 20 and Cf = 2.2µF. To decrease the PLL’s closed-loop bandwidth, reduce the value of Rf. Decreasing this bandwidth will improve the MAX3270’s jitter transfer performance but reduce jitter tolerance. The MAX3270 has been designed (using the recommended values of Rf and Cf) to meet the Bellcore and CCITT specifica­tions for jitter tolerance of a Network Element. Carefully consider the application if a reduction in loop band­width is desired. By reducing Rf an order of magnitude, the PLL’s bandwidth becomes more sensitive to the internal tolerances of the IC. As a result, the loop band­width may have a wider variation. If Rf is reduced, then Cf should also be increased to maintain loop stability and minimize jitter peaking.
The MAX3270 is optimally designed to acquire lock and to provide a bit-error rate (BER) of less than 10
-12
for long strings of consecutive zeros or ones. Using the recommended external values for Rf = 20and Cf =
2.2µF, measured results show that the MAX3270 can tolerate more than 200 consecutive ones or zeros. Figure 3 shows a bit stream of 213- 1 PRBS with 200 consecutive ones.

Input and Output Termination
The MAX3270 data and clock I/Os (SDIP, SDIN, RDOP, RDON, RCOP, RCON, and EXC) are open emitters, designed to interface with ECL signal levels. It is impor­tant to bias these ports appropriately. A circuit that pro­vides a Thevenin equivalent of 50to -2V should be used with fixed-impedance transmission lines for prop­er termination. Figure 4 shows some typical input and output termination methods.
The serial data input signals (SDIP and SDIN) are the differential inputs to an emitter coupled pair. As a result, the MAX3270 can accept differential input signal levels as low as 250mV. The serial input (SDIP) can also be driven single-ended by externally biasing SDIN to the center of the voltage swing (approximately -1.3V). Make sure that the differential inputs and outputs each see the same termination impedance for balanced operation.
CRP is also an open-emitter ECL output, but it requires a termination resistor of 450to -4.5V. If this output is not used, reduce power by connecting CRP to V
EE
through a resistor valued at 10kor more. The MAX3270’s performance can be greatly affected
by circuit board layout and design. Use good high-fre­quency design techniques, including minimizing ground inductances and using fixed-impedance trans­mission lines on the data and clock signals. Power-
supply decoupling should be placed as close to the VEE and VTTL pins as possible. AVEE1, AVEE2 and GVEE should each have their own bypass/decoupling elements, independent of each other and any other -
4.5V supply. Make sure to isolate the inputs from the outputs to reduce feedthrough.
__________Applications Information
Lock Detection
The MAX3270 has an output (FM) that monitors the input voltage to the VCO. FM is an analog output that can be used as a flag to indicate that the PLL is locked. Under normal operation, the loop is locked and the FM output is approximately equal to 0V. When the PLL is unlocked, the VCO will drift. The FM output monitors this drift and will equal approximately ±1V in the limit.
Phase Adjust
In some applications, the optimum alignment point between the recovered clock and the serial data is not at the center of the eye diagram. The MAX3270 has a PHADJ input that can be used in these applications to introduce a phase difference between the recovered clock and the serial data. When no phase difference is desired, this input should be set to 0V. The VR pin is the reference input for PHADJ and is normally tied to GND.
