Description
The Si5540 is a fully integrated low-power transmitter for high-speed serial
communication systems. It combines high speed clock generation with a 16:1
multiplexer to serialize data for OC-192/STM-64 applications. The Si5540 is based
on Silicon Laboratories’ DSPLL
filter components required by traditional clock multiplier units. In addition,
selectable loop filter bandwidths are provided to ensure superior jitter performance
while relaxing the jitter requirements on external clock distribution subsystems.
Support for data streams up to 10.7 G bps is also provided for applications that
employ forward error correction (FEC).
The Si5540 represents a new standard in low jitter, low power and small size for
10 Gbps serial transmitters. It operates from a single 1.8 V supply over the
industrial t em perature range (–40°C to 85°C).

Functional Description
Si5540
The Si5540 is a fully integrated, low power, SONET/
SDH transmitter for OC-192/STM-64 applications. It
combines a high performance clock multiplier unit
(CMU) with a 16:1 serializer that has a low-speed
interface compliant with the Optical Interface Forum
(OIF) SFI-4 standard.
The CMU uses a phase-locked loop (PLL) architecture
based on Silicon Laboratories’ proprietary DSPLL
technology. This technology is used to generate u ltralow jitter clock and data outputs that provide significant
margin to the SONET/SDH specificati ons. The DSPLL
architecture also utilizes a digitally implemented loop
filter that eliminates the need for external loop filter
components. As a result, sensitive noise coupling nodes
that typically cause degraded jitter performance in
crowded PCB environments are removed .
The DSPLL also reduces the complexity and
performance requirements of reference clock
distribution strategies for OC-192/STM-64 optical port
cards. This is possible because the DSPLL provides
selectable wideband and narrowband loop filter settings
that allow the user to set the jitter attenuation
characteristics of the CMU t o accommodate reference
clock sources that have a high jitter content. Unlike
traditional analog PLL implementations, the loop filter
bandwidth is controlled by a digital filter inside the
DSPLL and can be changed without any modification to
external components.
™
DSPLL™ Clock Multiplier Unit
The Si5540’s clock multiplier unit (CMU) uses Silicon
Laboratories’ proprietary DSPLL technology to generate
a low jitter, high frequency clock source capable of
producing a high speed serial clock and data output with
significant margin to the SONET/SDH specifications.
This is achieved by using a digital signal processing
(DSP) algorithm to replace the loop filter commonly
found in analog PLL design s. This algorithm processes
the phase detector error term and generates a digital
control value to adjust the frequency of the voltage
controlled oscillat or (VCO). B ecause external loop filter
components are not required, sensitive noise entry
points are eliminated, thus making the DSPLL less
susceptible to board-level noise sources. Therefore,
SONET/SDH jitter compliance is easier to attain in the
application.
Programm able Loop Filt er B andwidth
The digital loop filter in the Si5530 provides two
bandwidth settings that support either wideband or
narrowband jitter transfer characteristics. The filter
bandwidth is selected via t he BWSEL control input. In
traditional P LL implementation s, changing the loop filter
bandwidth would require changing the values of
external loop filter co mpo nents.
In narrowband mode, a loop filter cutoff of 12 kHz is
provided. This set ting makes the Si5540 more tolerant
of jitter on th e reference clock source. As a re sult, the
complexity of the clock distribution circuitry used to
generate the physical layer reference clocks can be
simplified without compromising jitter margin to the
SONET/SDH specific ati on.
In wideband mode, the loop filter provides a cutoff of
50 kHz. This setting i s desirable in applications where
the reference clock is provided by a low jitter source like
the Si5364 Clock Synchronization IC or Si5320
Precision Clock Multiplier/Jitter Attenuator IC. This
allows the DSPLL to more closely track the precision
reference source resulting in the best possible jitter
performance.
Reference Clock
The CMU within the Si5530 i s designed to operat e with
reference c lock sourc es that ar e eith er 1/16t h or 1/64th
the desired output data rate. The CMU will support
operation with data rates between 9.9 Gbps and
10.7 Gbps and the reference clock should be scaled
accordingly. For example, to support 10.66 Gbps
operation the reference clock source would be
approximately 167 MHz or 666 MHz. The REFRATE
input pin is used to configure the device for operation
with one of the two supported reference clock
submultiples of the data rate.
The Si5540 supports operation with two selectable
reference c lock s our ces . The first configuration uses an
externally provided reference clock that is input via
REFCLK. The second configuration uses the parallel
data clock, TXCLK16IN, as the reference clock source.
When using TXCLK16IN as the reference source, the
narrowband loop filter setting may be preferable to
remove jitter that may be present on the data clock. The
selection of reference clock configuration is controlled
via the REFSEL input. The Si5540 will drive the TXLOL
output high to indicate the DSPLL has locked to the
selected reference sou rce.
Serialization
The Si5540 includes serialization circuitry that
combines a FIFO wit h a parallel to serial shift register.
Low speed data on the parallel input bus, T XDIN[15:0],
is latched into the FIFO on the rising edge of
TXCLK16IN. The data in the FIFO is clocked into the

Si5540
shift register by an output clock, TXCLK16 OUT, that is
produced by dividing down the high speed transmit
clock, TXCLKOUT , by a factor of 16. The TXCLK16OUT
clock output is provided to su ppor t 16 bit word trans fe rs
between the Si5540 and upstream devices using a
counter clocking scheme. The high-speed serial data
stream is clocked out of the shift register using
TXCLKOUT.
Input FIFO
The Si5540 integrates a FIFO to decouple data
transferred into the FIFO via TXCLK16IN from data
transferred into th e s hift r egister via TXCLK16O UT. The
FIFO is eight parallel words deep and accommodates
any static phase delay tha t may be i ntroduc ed between
TXCLK16OUT and TXCLK16IN in counter clocking
schemes. Further, the FIFO will accommodat e a phase
drift or wander between TXCLK16IN and TXCLK16OUT
of up to three parallel data words.
The FIFO circuitry indicates an overflow or underflow
condition by ass erting FIFOERR high. This ou tput can
be used to recenter the FIFO read/write pointers by
tieing it directly to the FIFORST input. The Si5540 w ill
also recenter the read/ write pointers after the device’s
power on reset, external reset via RESET
time the DSPLL transitions from an out of lock state to a
locked state (TXLOL
Parallel Input To Serial Output Relationship
The Si5540 provides the c apability to select the order in
which data on the par allel input b us is transmi tted serially. Data on this bus can be transmitted MSB first or
LSB first depending on the setting of TXMSBSEL. If
TXMSBSEL is tied low, TXDIN0 is transmitted first followed in order by TXDIN1 through TXDIN15. If TXMSBSEL is tied high, TXDIN15 is transmitted first followed in
order by TXDIN14 th ro ugh TXDIN0. This feat ur e s im plifies board rout ing when I Cs are mounte d on bot h sides
of the PCB.
