Functional Description
The VSC8061 and VSC8062 are high-speed interface devices capable of data rates up to 2.5Gb/s. The
devices are fabricated in gallium arsenide using the Vitesse H-GaAs E/D MESFET process to achieve highspeed and low power dissipation. For ease of system design using these products, both devices use industrystandard -5.2V and -2V power supplies, and have ECL-compatible I/O for parallel data interfaces. Typical
applications include telecommunication transmission and instrumentation.
VSC8061 Multiplexer
The VSC8061 consists of a 16:1 multiplexer circuit, a phase detector, and a timing circuit which generates
a divide-by-16 clock from the high-speed clock input. The 16:1 multiplexer accepts 16 parallel single-ended
ECL compatible inputs (D0...D15) at data rates up to 156Mb/s and bitwise serializes them into a 2.5Gb/s serial
output (DO/DON). The internal timing of the VSC8061 is referenced to the negative going edge of the highspeed clock true input (CLK). This clock is divided by 16 and is provided as an output (CLK16/CLK16N). The
setup and hold time of the parallel inputs (D[0:15]) are specified with respect to the falling edge of CLK16, so
that CLK16/CLK16N can be used to clock the data source of D[0:15]. The on-chip phase detector monitors the
phase relationship between the internally generated divide-by-16 clock and an externally supplied low-speed
reference clock input (DCLK/DCLKN). Phase difference between these two clock signals generates an up or
down output (U, D) for phase lock applications. The phase detector can be used as part of an external Phase
Locked Loop (PLL) to implement a clock multiplication function.
In applications where a 2.5GHz system clock is provided, and the phase detector function is not required, it
is recommended to connect one side of the DCLK/DCLKN input to VTT through a 50Ω resistor. The U and D
output can be left open and unused.
VSC8062 Demultiplexer
The VSC8062 consists of a 1:16 demultiplexer and timing circuitry which generates a divide-by-16 clock
from the high-speed clock input. The demultiplexer accepts a serial data stream input (DI/DIN) at up to 2.5Gb/s
and deserializes it into 16 parallel single-ended ECL compatible outputs (D[0:15]) at data rates up to 156 Mb/s.
The internal timing of the VSC8062 is referenced to the negative going edge of the high-speed clock true input
(CLK). This clock is divided by 16 and provided as an output (CLK16/ CLK16N). The timing parameters of the
parallel data outputs (D[0:15]) are specified with respect to the falling edge of CLK16, so that CLK16/CLK16N
can be used to clock the destination of D[0:15].

The internal phase detector of the VSC8061 compares the phase difference between the internally generated divide-by-16 clock and the DCLK input. If both inputs (CLK16 and DCLK) to the phase detector are in
phase, the U and D outputs will both be low. If the rising edge of CLK16 precedes DCLK, a series of pulses
with pulse widths proportional to the phase difference will be present at the U output. Conversely, if DCLK precedes CLK16, then a series of pulses with widths proportional to the phase difference will be present at the D
output. The other output will remain low. The Phase Detector ignores phase differences for falling edges. This
circuitry is useful for implementing a Clock Multiplier Unit (CMU) function with the VSC8061. For example,
the DLCK can be the system reference clock at the parallel data rate. An external Voltage Controlled Oscillator
(VCO) at 16x the frequency of the reference clock can be used as the CLK input for the VSC8061. The phase
detector outputs (U and D) can then be used by an external integrator to generate an output that controls the
VCO. The generated 16x clock from the VCO will be phase-locked to the reference clock.

ESD Ratings
For performance considerations, minimum ESD protection is provided for the high-speed input pins. Therefore, proper procedures should be used when handling these products. The VSC8061/8062 are rated to the following ESD voltages based on the human body model:
1. All high-speed input pins are rated at or above 500V.
2. All other pins are rated at or above 2000V.
The above ratings apply to both “F” and “QH” packages.
CIN typ = 0.1µF
CSE typ = 0.1µF for single-ended applications
(Capacitor values are selected for DCLK = 155Mb/s.)
DCLK, DCLKN Inputs
Internal biasing will position the reference voltage of approximately -1.32V on both the true and complement inputs. This input can either be DC-coupled or AC-coupled; it can also be driven single-ended or differentially. Figure 7 shows the configuration for a single-ended, AC-coupling operation. In the case of direct
coupling and single-ended input, it is recommended that a stable V
for ECL levels be used for the comple-
REF
mentary input.
High-Speed Clock and Serial Data Inputs
It is recommended that all high-speed clock and serial data inputs (CLK/CLKN for the VSC8061; DI/DIN
and CLK/CLKN for the VSC8062) be AC-coupled. Figure 8 shows the configuration for a single-ended ACcoupling operation.
In most situations, these inputs will have high transition density and little DC offset. However, in cases
where this does not hold, direct DC connection is possible. The following is to assist in this application.
All serial data and clock inputs have the same circuit topology, as shown in Figure 8. The reference voltage
is created by a resistor divider as shown. If the input signal is driven differentially and DC-coupled to the part,
the mid-point of the input signal swing should be centered about this reference voltage and not exceed the maximum allowable amplitude. For single-ended, DC-coupling operations, it is recommended the user provide an
external reference voltage which has better temperature and power supply noise rejection than the on-chip resistor divider. The external reference should have a nominal value as indicated in the table and can be connected to
either side of the differential gate.
The VSC8061 and VSC8062 are available in ceramic LDCC and thermally enhanced plastic quad flatpacks. These packages have been enhanced to improve thermal dissipation through low thermal resistance paths
from the die to the exposed surface of the heat spreader. The thermal resistance of the two packages is shown in
the following table

Thermal Resistance with Airflow
Shown in Table 10 is the thermal resistance with airflow. This thermal resistance value reflects all the thermal paths including through the leads in an environment where the leads are exposed. The temperature difference between the ambient airflow temperature and the case temperature should be the worst case power of the
device multiplied by the thermal resistance.
