CLC014
Adaptive Cable Equalizer for High-Speed Data Recovery
General Description
National's CLC014 adaptive cable equalizer is a low-cost monolithic solution for equalizing data transmitted over cable (or any media with similar dispersive loss characteristics). The CLC014 simplifies the task of high-speed data recovery with a one-chip solution and a minimal number of external components. The equalizer automatically adapts to equalize any cable length from zero meters to lengths that attenuate the signal by 40 dB at 200 MHz. This corresponds to 300 meters of Belden 8281 or 120 meters of Category 5 UTP (unshielded twisted pair).
The CLC014 provides superior jitter performance: 180pspp for 270 Mbps data that has passed through 200 meters of Belden 8281 cable. This exceptional performance provides wide error margin in digital data links.
The equalizer operates on a single supply with a power consumption of only 290 mW. The small 14-pin SOIC package allows for high-density placement of components for multichannel applications such as routers. The equalizer operates over a wide range of data rates from less than 50 Mbps to rates in excess of 650 Mbps.
The equalizer is flexible in allowing either single-ended or differential input drive. Its high common mode rejection provides excellent immunity to interference from noise sources. On-chip quantized feedback eliminates baseline wander.
Additional features include a carrier detect output and an output mute pin which, when tied together, mute the output when no signal is present. A buffered eye monitor output is provided, for viewing the equalized signal prior to the comparator. Differential AEC pins allow the user to set the inter-
nal adaptive loop time constant with one external capacitor. Also, the CLC014 is insensitive to the pathological patterns inherent in the video industry standards.

Note 1: ªAbsolute Maximum Ratingsº are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. They are not meant to imply that the devices should be operated at these limits. The table of ªElectrical Characteristicsº specifies conditions of device operation.
Note 2: Min/max ratings are based on product characterization and simulation. Individual parameters are tested as noted. Outgoing quality levels are determined from tested parameters.
Note 3: J-level: spec. is 100% tested at +25ÊC.
Note 4: These specifications assume an 800 mVpp signal at the cable input. Levels above and below 800 mV are allowable, but performance may vary. The cable will attenuate the signal prior to entering the equalizer.
Note 5: Peak-to-peak jitter is defined as 6 times the rms jitter.
Note 6: For more information, see ªCLC014 Operationº and ªDesign Guidelinesº.
Note 7: 50% eye opening.
Note 8: Time from application of a valid signal to when the CD output asserts high.
Note 9: Time from the removal of a valid signal to when the CD output asserts low.
Note 10: Time from assertion of MUTE to when the output responds.
Note 11: Device only. Does not include typical pc board parasitics.
Note 12: Includes typical pc board parasitics.
Note 13: This sets the maximum cable length for the equalizer.
Note 14: Human body model, 1.5 kΩ in series with 100 pF; based on limited test data.
Note 15: To maintain specified performance, do not reduce DO/DO below this level.
