General Description
The VSC8113 is an ATM/SONET/SDH compatible transceiver integrating an on-chip Clock Multiplication
Unit (PLL) for the high speed clock as well as a clock and data recovery unit (CRU) with 8 bit serial-to-parallel
and parallel-to-serial data conversion. The PLL clock is used for serialization in the transmit direction (Mux).
The recovered clock is used for deserializatio n in the receive direction (Demux). Th e demultiplexer contains
SONET/SDH frame detection and recovery. The device provides both facility and equipment loopback modes
and two loop timing modes. The part is packa ged in a 100PQFP with integrat ed hea t sp reader fo r opt i mum t her mal performance and reduced cost. The VSC8113 provides an integrated solution for ATM physical layers and
SONET/SDH systems applications.
Functional Description
The VSC8113 is designed to provide a SONET/SDH compliant interface between the high spee d optical
networks and the lower speed User Network Interface devices such as the PM5355 S/UNI-622. The VSC8113
converts 8 bit parallel data at 77.76Mb/s or 19Mb/s to a serial bit stream at 622.08Mb/s or 155.52Mb/s respectively. The device also provides a Facility Loopback function which loops the received high speed data and
clock (optionally recovered on-chip) directly to the high speed transmit outputs. A Clock Multiplier Unit
(CMU) is integrated into the transmit circuit to generate the high speed clock for the serial output data stream
from input reference frequencies of 19.44, 38.88, 51.84 or 77.76 MHz. The CMU can be bypassed with the
received/recovered clock in loop timing mode thus synchronizin g the entire part to a sing le clock. The blo ck
diagram on page 2 shows the major functional blocks associated with the VSC8113.
The receive section provides the serial-to-parallel c onversion, converting the 155.52Mb/s or 622Mb/s bit
stream to an 8 bit parallel o utput at 19.44Mb /s or 77. 76MHz respectively. A Clock Reco v ery Unit (CRU) is integrated into the receive circuit to recover the high speed clock from the received serial data stream. The receive
section provides an Equipment Loopback function which will loop the low speed transmit data and clock back
through the receive section to the 8 bit par allel data bus and clock outputs.The V SC8113 also pr ovides the
option of selecting between either its internal CRU’s recovered clock and data signals or optics containing a

Transmit Section
Byte-wide data is presented to TXIN[7:0] and is clocked into the part on the rising edge of TXLSC KIN.
See Figure 1. The data is then serialized (MSB leading) and presented at the TXDATAOUT+/- pins.
TXDATAOUT is clocked out on the falling edge of TXCLKOUT+. The serial output stream is synchronized to
the CMU generated clock whic h is a phase locked and frequen cy scaled version of the inp ut reference cloc k.
External control inputs B0-B2 and STS-12 select the multiply ratio of the CMU for either STS-3 (155MbS) or
STS-12 (622Mb/s) transmission (see Table 12). A divide-by-8 version of the CMU clock (TXLSCKOUT)
should be used to synchronize the transmit interface of the UNI device to the transmit input registers on the
VSC8113 (see Application Notes, p. 20).

Receive Section
High speed Non-Return to Zero (NRZ) serial data at 155Mb/s or 622Mb/s are received by the RXDATAIN
inputs. The CRU recovers the high speed clock from the serial data input. The serial data is converted to bytewide parallel data and presented on RXOUT[7:0] pins. A divide-by-8 version of the high-speed clock
(RXLSCKOUT) should be used to synch r onize t he byte-serial RXOUT[7:0] data with the receive portion of the
UNI device. The on-chip CRU is by-passed by setting the DSBLCRU input high. In this mode, the serial input
data and corresponding clock are received by the RXDATAIN and RXCLKIN inputs respectively. RXDATAIN
is clocked in on the rising edge of RXCLKIN+. See Figure 2.
The receive section also includes frame detection a nd recovery circuitry which detec ts the SONET/SDH
frame, aligns the received serial data on byte boundaries, and initiates a frame pulse on FP coincident with the
byte aligned data. The frame recovery is initiated when OOF is held high which must occur at lea s t 4 byte clock
cycles before the A1A2 boundary. The OOF input control is a level-sensitive signal, and th e VSC8113 will continually perform frame detection and recovery as long as this pin is held high even if 1 or more frames has been
detected. Frame detection and recovery occurs when a series of three A1 bytes followed by three A2 bytes has
been detected. The paralle l outp ut data on R XOUT[7:0] wil l be b yt e alig ned startin g on the thi rd A2 b yte. Wh en
a frame is detected, a single byte clock pe riod long pulse is g enerated o n FP which i s synchronize d with the
byte-aligned third A2 byte on RXOUT[7:0]. The frame detector sends a FP pulse only if OOF is high.

Loss of Signal
The VSC8113 features Loss of Signal (LOS) detection. Loss of Signal is declared if the incoming serial
data stream has no transition continuously for more than 128 bits. During an LOS condition, the VSC 8113
forces the receive data low which is an indication for an y do wnstre am equipment that an optical interfac e fail ure
has occurred. The receive section continues to be clocked by the CRU as it is now locked to the “CRUREFCLK” unless “DSBLCRU” is active in which case it will be clocked by the CMU. This LOS condition will be
removed when the part detects more than 16 transitions in a 128 bit time window. This LOS detection feature
can be disabled by applying a high level to LOSDETEN_ input. The VSC8113 also has a TTL input LOSTTL
and a PECL input LOSPECL to force the part into a Loss of Signal state. Most optics have a PECL output usually called “SD” or “FLAG” indicating a lack of or presence of optical power. Depending on the optics manufactured this signal is either active high or active low. The LOSTTL and LOSPECL inputs are XNOR’d to
generate an internal LOS control signal. See Figure 2. The optics “SD” output should be connected to
LOSPECL. The LOSTTL input should be tied low if the optics “SD” output is active high. If it’s active low tie
LOSTTL high. The inverse is true if the optics use “FLAG” for loss of signal.

The Facility Loopback function is controlled by the FACLOOP signal. When the FACLOOP signal is set

at the high speed transmit output (TXDATAOUT). See Figure 3. In addition, the high speed received/recovered
clock is selected and p resented at the high speed tra nsmit clock outp ut (TXCLKOUT). In Facility Loopback
mode the high speed recei v e dat a (RXDATAIN) is also co nverted to parall el data and presented at the low speed

Equipment Loopback
The Equipment Loopback function is controlled by the EQULOOP signal. When the EQULOOP signal is
set high, the Equipment Loopback mode is activated and the high speed transmit data generated from the parallel to serial conversion of the low speed data (TXIN[7:0]) is selected and converted back to parallel data in the
receiver section and presented at the low speed parallel outputs (RXOUT[7:0]). See Figure 4. The internally
generated 155/622MHz clock i s used t o g enerate t he low speed receive clock output (RXLSCKOUT). In Equipment Loopback mode the transmit data (TXIN[7:0]) is serialized and presented at the high speed output
(TXDATAOUT) along with the high speed transmit clock (TXCLKOUT) which is generated by the on-chip
clock multiplier unit.
CRU Equipment Loopback
Exactly the same as equipment loopback, the point where the transmit data is looped back is moved all the
way back to the high speed I/O. When the CRUEQLP signal is set high, transmit data is looped back to the
CRU, replacing RXDATAIN±

Split Loopback
Equipment and facility loopback modes can be enabled simultaneously. In this case, high-speed serial data
received (RXDATAIN) and received/recovered clock are mux’d through to the high-speed serial outputs
(TXDATAOUT) and (TXCLKOUT). The low-speed transmit byte wide bus(TXIN[7:0]) and (TXLSCKIN) are

Loop Timing
LOOPTIM0 mode bypasses the CMU when the LOOPTIM0 input is asserted high. In this mode the CMU
is bypassed by using the receive clock (RXCLKIN), and the entire part is synchronously clocked from a single
external source.
LOOPTIM1 mode bypasses the REFCLK input and uses the divide-by-8 version of the receive clock as the
reference input to the CMU. This mode is selected by asserting the LOOPTIM1 input high. The part is forced
out of this mode if it is in the Loss of Signal state or in Equipment Loopback to prevent the CMU from feeding
its own clock back.
Clock Synthesis
The VSC8113 uses an integrated phase-locked loop (PLL) for c lock synthesis of the 622MHz hig h speed
clock used for serialization in the transmitter section. The PLL is comprised of a phase-frequency detector
(PFD), an integrating operation amplifier and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) configured in classic feedback system. The PFD compa res the s elected divided down versio n of the 622M Hz VCO (select pi ns B0-B2
select divide-b y ra tios of 8, 12 , 16 a nd 32, see Table 12) and the reference clock. The int egrat or pro vi des a transfer function betw een inp ut phase e rror and out put v olta ge contr ol. T he VCO port ion o f the PLL is a v olt age controlled ring-oscillator with a center frequency of 622MHz.
The reactive elements of the integrator are located off-chip and are connected to the feedback loop of the
amplifier through the CP1, CP2, CN1 and CN2 p ins. The configuration of thes e external surface moun ted
capacitors is shown in Figure 6. Table 1 shows the recommended external capacitor values for the configurable
reference frequencies.

SC8113
Good analog design practices should be applied to the board design for these external components. Tightly
controlled analog ground and power planes should be provided for the PLL portion of the circuitry. The dedicated PLL power (VDDANA) and ground (VSSANA) pins should have quiet supply planes to minimize jitter
generation within the clock synthesis unit. This is accomplished by either using a ferrite bead or a C-L-C choke
(π filter) on the (VDDANA) power pins. Note: Vitesse recommends a (π filter) C-L-C choke over using a ferrite
bead. All ground planes should be tied together using multiple vias.
The VSC8113 features a lock detect function for the CMU, called “CMULOCKDET”. It generates low
going pulses when the CMU is locked to the incoming REFCLK. This is accomplished by comparing the phase
of the synthesized clock to the reference clock. If the “CMULOCKDET” output remains high for >
CMU is locked.
Reference Clocks
To improve jitter performance and to provide flexibility, an additional differential PECL reference clock
input is provided. This reference clock is internally XNOR’d with a TTL reference clock input to generate the
reference for the CMU. Vitesse reco mmends u s ing t he di fferential PECL i nput and tieing the unused TTL r efer ence clock low. If the TTL reference clock is used the positive side of the differential PECL reference clock
“REFCLKP+” should be tied to ground. “REFCLKP+/-” are internally biased with on-chip resistors to 1.65
volts, see figure 14 for schematic of internal biasing of differential I/O’s.
The CRU has the option of either using the CMU’s reference clock or its own independent reference clock
“CRUREFCLK”. If the CMU reference clock is used, it must be 78MHz. This is accomplished with the control
signal “CRUREFSEL”. The “CRUREFCLK” should be used if the system is being operated in either a regeneration or looptiming mode. In either of these modes the quality of the “CRUREFCLK” is not a concern, thus it
can be driven by a simple 77.76MHz crystal, the key is its’ independent of the CMU’s reference clock.

Clock Recovery
The fully monolithic Clock Recovery Unit (CRU) consists of a Phase Detector, a Frequency Detector, a
Loop Filter and a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). The phase detector compares the phase information of
the incoming data with the recovered clock. The frequency detector compares the frequency component of the
data input with the recovered clock to provide the pull in energy during lock acquisition. The LoopFilter integrates the phase information from the phase and frequency detectors and provides the control voltage to the
VCO.
The CRU provides a lock detect function. If the frequencies of the serial data stream and the CRU’s recovered clock are different, a data bit in the seri al data stream wil l occasional ly be dropped. If the Fre quenc y Detector does not detect this condition in a moving 1.5 µs window, the CRULOCKDET output is asserted to signal
that the CRU is frequency locked to the serial data stream. This output is forced low if it detects that a data bit is
dropped or if the recovered clock frequency drifts more than 5% from the CMU’s output frequency.

Jitter Tolerance
Jitter Tolerance is the ability of the Clock Recovery Unit to track timing variation in the received data
stream. The bellcore and ITU specifications allow the received optical data to conta in jitter. The amount that
must be tolerated is a functio n of the f requenc y of t he jitter. At high frequencies the specifications do not r equire
the CRU to tolerate large amounts, wh er eas at l ow frequen cies many unit i nt e rvals (bit t i me s) of jitter ha ve to be
tolerated. The CRU is designed to tolerate th is jitter with margin over the specification limits, see Fi gure 7. The
CRU obtains and maintains lock ba sed on the data t ransition informa tion. W hen t here is no tra nsition on the
data stream, the recovered clock frequency can drift. The VSC811 3 can maintain lock over 100 bits of no
switching on data stream.

Application Notes
Interconnecting the Byte Clocks (TXLSCKOUT and TXLSCKIN)
The byte clock (TXLSCKOUT and TXLSCKIN) on the VSC8113 has been brought off-chip to allow as
much flexibility in system-level clocking schemes as po ssible. Sin ce the b yte clo ck (TXLSCK OUT) clock s both
the VSC8113 and the UNI devices, it is important to pay close attention to the routing of this signal. The UNI
device in general is a CMOS part which can have very wide spreads in timing (1-11ns clock in to parallel data
out for the PM5355), which utilizes most of the 12.86ns p eriod (at 78MH z), leaving little for the trace delays
and set-up times required to interconnect the 2 devices.
The VSC8113 and the UNI device should be placed as close to each other as possible to provide maximum
setup and hold time margin at the inputs of the VSC8113. Figure 12 suggests two different ways of routing the
TXLSCKOUT-to-TXLSCKIN clock trace when used in a 622 MHz mode, which ever method is used the transmission line trace impedance should be no lower than 75 ohms.

(2) TXLSCKOUT is daisy chained to the UNI device and then routed back to the VSC8113 along with the
byte data. This interface provides a setup and hold time margin for the TXIN input of

to be less than 0.43ns (~3 inches).
The general recommendation is to apply option (1) and place the VSC8113 and PM5355 as close to each
other as possible. If the one-way trace delay cannot be kept less than 0.43ns with a 50 pf load, daisy-chaining
(option 2) should be applied - close attention must be paid to signal routing in this case because of the lack of
hold time margin.

Important note: The 11 ns max Tpd on the PM5355 assumes a 50pf load @ 6 0ps/pf, therefore 3 ns of the
max delay is due to loading . The VSC811 3 inpu t (TXLSCKIN) plus pac kage is a bout 6p f. Assumin g about 1 p f/
inch of 75 ohm trace on FR4 plus the VSC8113 6pf load, the user would in most cases choose option 1.
DC Coupling and Terminating High-speed PECL I/Os
The high speed signals on the VSC8113 (RXDATAIN , RXCLKIN, TXDATAOUT, TXCLKOUT, REFCLKP, LOSPECL) use 3.3/5V programmable PECL I/Os which can be direct coupled to either +3.3V PECL or
+5V PECL signals from the optics. These PECL levels are essentially ECL levels shifted positive by 3.3 volts or
5 volts. These PECL I/Os are referenced to t he V
these I/Os for either 3.3V or 5V interface, the 3 V
supplies accordingly.
AC Coupling and Terminating High-speed PECL I/Os
If the optics modules provide ECL level interface, the high speed sig nals can be AC coupled to the
VSC8113 as well. The PECL receiver inputs of the VSC8113 are internally biased at VDD/2. The refore, ACcoupling to the VSC8113 inputs is accomplished by providing the pull-down resistor for the open-source PECL
output and an AC-coupling capacitor used to eliminate the DC component of the output signal. This capacitor
allows the PECL receivers of the VSC8113 to self-bias via its internal resistor divider network (see Figure 13).
The PECL output drivers are capable of sourcing current but not sinking it. To establish a LOW output
level, a pull-down resistor, traditionally connected to VDD-2.0V, is needed when the output FET is turned off.
Since VDD-2.0V is usually not present in the system, the resistor could be terminated to ground for convenience. The VSC8113 output drivers should be either AC-coupled to the 5.0V PECL inputs of the optics module, or translated (DC le v el shift ). Appropr iate bia sing techniques f or setti ng the DC-l e v el of th ese input s should
be employed.
The dc biasing and 50 ohm termination requirements can easily be integrated together using a thevenin
equivalent circuit as shown in Figure 14. The figure shows the appropria te termin ation values wh en interfac ing
3.3V PECL to 5.0V PECL. This network provides the equivalent 50 ohm termination fo r the high speed I/Os
and also provides the requi red dc biasin g for the rec ei v ers of the opt ics modu le. Table 18 contains recommended
values for each of the components.

TTL Input Structure
The TTL inputs of the VSC8113 are 3.3V TTL which can accept 5.0V TTL levels within a given set of tolerances (see Table 5). The input structure, shown in Figure 14, uses a current limiter to avoid overdriving the
input FETs.

Layout of the High Speed Signals
Data Sheet
VSC8113
The routing of the High Speed signals should be done using good high speed design practices. This would
include using controlle d impedance lines and keep ing the distance between com ponents to an absolu te minimum. In addition, stubs should be kept at a minimum as well as any routing discontinuities. This will help minimize reflections and ringing on the high sp eed lines and insur e the maximum eye opening. I n addition the
output pull down resistor should be placed as close to the VSC8113 pin a s possible while the AC-coupling
capacitor and the biasing resistors should be placed as close as possible to the optics input pin. The same is true
on the receive circuit side. Using small outline components and minimum pad sizes also helps in reducing discontinuities.
Ground Planes
The ground plane for the components used in the High Speed interface should be continuous and not sectioned in an attempt to provide isolation to various components. Sectioning of the ground planes tends to interfere with the ground return currents on the signal lines. In addition, the smaller the ground plane s the less
effecti ve they are in redu cin g ground bounce noise and the more dif ficult to decouple. Sect ion in g of the positive
supplies can provide some isolation benefits.
