General Description
The VSC8169 is a 16:1 multiplexer with integrated clock generator for use in SONET/SDH systems oper-
ating at a standard 2.48832Gb/s data rate or a forward error correction (FEC) data rate up to 2.7Gb/s. The internal clock generator uses a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) to multiply either a 77.76MHz (up to 84.38MHz-FEC) or
a 155.52MHz (up to 168.75MHz -FEC ) reference clock in order to provide the 2.48832GH z (up to 2.7G Hz FEC) clock for internal logic and outp ut retiming. For use with th e VSC9210 FEC Encoder/ Decoder chipset
running at 2.654208Gb/s, a refer ence clo ck of 82.9 44MHz (seri al rate di vided by 32) should be used. The 16 -bit
parallel interface incorporates an on-board FIFO eliminating loop timing design issues by providing a flexible
parallel timing architecture. The device operates using a 3.3V power supply, and is packaged in a thermallyenhanced plastic package. The thermal performance of the 128-pin PQFP allows the use of the VSC8169 without a heat sink under most thermal conditions.
The Upstream Device should use the CLK16O as the timing source for its final output latch (see Figure 1).
The Upstream Device should then generate a CLK16I that is phase aligned with the data. The VSC8169 will
latch D[15:0]
CLK16I (see Table 2). In addition to the CLK16O clock output, there also exi sts a utili ty REFCLKO output signal, which is a clock with the same rate as that presented at the REFCLK input.
A FIFO exists within the VS C8169 to elimina te difficult system loop timing issues . Once the PLL h as
locked to the reference clock, RESET must be held low for a minimum of five CLK16 cycles to initialize the
FIFO, then RESET should be set high and held constant for continuous FIFO operation. For the transparent
mode of operation (no FIFO), simply hold RESET at a constant low state (see Figure 2).
The use of a FIFO permits the system designer to tolerate an arbitrary amount of delay between CLK16O
and CLK16I. Once RESET is asserted and the FIFO initialized, the delay betw een CLK16O and CLK16I can
decrease or increase up to one period of the low-speed clock (6.4ns). Should this delay drift exceed one period,
the write pointer and the read pointer could point to the same word in the FIFO, resulting i n a loss of transmitted
data (a FIFO overflow). In the event of a FIFO overflow, an active low FIFO_WARN signal is asserted (for a
minimum of five CLK16I cycles) which can be used to initiate a reset signal from an external controller.
The CLK16O
transmission line can be DC terminated with a split-end termin ation scheme (see Fig ure 3), or DC terminated by

Holding RESET “low” for a minimum of 5 CLK16 cycles, then setting “high” enables FIFO operation.

Clock Generator
An on-chip PLL generates the 2.48832GHz (or up to 2.7GHz for FEC) transmit clock from the externally
provided REFCLK input. The on-chip PLL uses a low phase noise reactance-based Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) with an on-chip loop filter. The loop bandwidth of the PLL is within the SONET specified limit of
2MHz.
The customer can select to provide either a 77.76MHz (up to 84.38MHz- FEC) reference (recommended),
or the 2x of that reference, 155.52MHz (up to 168.75MHz-FEC). REF_FREQSEL is used to select the desired
reference frequency. REF_FREQSEL = “0” designates REFCLK
input as 77.76MHz (up to 84.38MHz-FEC),
REF_FREQSEL = “1” designates REFCLK input as 155.52MHz (up to 168.75MHz - FEC) . For use with the
VSC9210 FEC Encoder/Decoder chipset running at 2.654208Gb/s, REF_FREQSEL = “0” should be selected
with the REFCLK
input as 82.944MHz (serial rate divided by 32).
The REFCLK should be of high quality since noise on the REFCLK below the loop band width of the PLL
will pass through the PLL and appear as jitter on the output. Preconditioning of the REFCLK signal with a
VCXO may be required to avoid passing REFCLK noise with greater than 4ps RMS of jitter to the output. The
VSC8169 will output the REFC LK noise in add ition to the intr insic jitte r from the VSC816 9 itself duri ng such
conditions.
Low-Speed Inputs
The incoming low-speed data and reference clock input are received by LVPECL inputs D[15:0] and REFCLK. Off-chip termination of these inputs is required. For AC-coupling, a bias voltage suitable for AC-coupling needs to be provided. See Figure 7 for external biasing resistor scheme..
In most situations these inputs will have high transition density and little DC offset. However, in cases
where this does not hol d, d irect DC con nect io n i s possi bl e. Al l ser ia l d at a i nputs have the same circuit topology,
as shown in Figure 7. If the input signal is dri ven dif feren tial ly and DC-cou pled to the part, t he mid-poi nt of the
V
input signal swing should be centered a bout this common mode reference voltage (
) and not exceed the
CMI
maximum allowable amplitude. For single -ended , DC-coupli ng operati ons, it is recommend ed that th e user provides an external reference voltage. The external reference should have a nominal value equivalent to the common mode switch point of the DC-coupled signal, and can be connected to either side of the differential gate.

Decoupling of the power supplies is a critical element in maintaining the proper operation of the part. It is
recommended that the V

If the device is being used in an ECL environment with a -3.3V supply, then all references to decoupling
V
must be changed to VEE, and all references to decoupling 3.3V must be changed to -3.3V.
