This user’s guide describes the MC92602 design verification board, Rev. B and higher. The design
verification board (DVB) facilitates the full evaluation of the MC92602 Quad Reduced Interface SerDes.
It should be read in conjunction with the MC92602 Quad 1.25 Gbaud Reduced Interface SerDes Reference Guide. This design verification board is intended for evaluation and testing purposes only. Freescale does
not guarantee its performance in a production environment.
This board was designed to be used with laboratory equipment (pattern generators, data analyzers, BERT,
scopes, etc.) or connected to other evaluation boards. Access to the MC92602 device (verification chip) is
through connectors to each pin, to allow complete in-depth ‘design verification’ testing of the chip design.
This allows the user to check any or all features/functions of the MC92602 device.
The four parallel data input ports and all configuration/control signal pins, are accessed through common
2 × 10, 0.100" male connectors (headers). The parallel data output ports are accessed through 2 × 20, 0.100"
connectors. Device JTAG port signals are also accessed with a separate connector.
The MC92602 high-speed serial receivers and transmitters are accessed via SMA coaxial connectors for
signal integrity measurements.
A single 5.0-V power source is required for the DVB operation. All necessary voltages are generated by
regulators onboard. The reference clock for the MC92602 chip may be provided using either an external
clock or the onboard crystal oscillator. Clock drivers on the DVB provide additional clock signals for
triggering analyzer instrumentation and scopes.
1.2Design Verification Board Features
The functional, physical, and performance features of the MC92602DVB are as follows:
•A single external 5.0-V to onboard regulators supply power to all onboard circuitry.
•Reference clock source is a 250-MHz crystal oscillator or an external clock source.
•Parallel data and control interfaces accessible through standard 0.100", 2 row connectors for data
generators and analyzers.
•The full-duplex differential data links accessible through SMA connectors.
•Two pairs of 50-Ω test traces with SMA connections facilitate TDR measurements of the
characteristic impedance of representative board traces.
This chapter provides unpacking, hardware preparation, configuration-installation instructions, and
description of the interface components for the MC92602DVB.
2.1Unpacking Instructions
Unpack the board from the shipping carton. Refer to the packing list and verify that all items are present.
Save the packing material for storing and reshipping of the equipment.

2.3Hardware Preparation
Operation of the MC92602DVB requires proper setup of the power supply and voltage regulators as well
as the reference clock. Figure 2-1 depicts the location of the major components on the board. The
following sections describe proper setup of the MC92602DVB.
2.3.1Setting the Power Supply and Voltage Regulators
The MC92602DVB requires a single +5.0-V supply. Fully operational, the board will draw a maximum
current less than 2.0 amps from the +5.0-V supply. Actual current consumption depends on the user set
voltage levels, clock frequencies, and the MC92602 operating mode. The board contains two +5.0-V
connection posts and two ground connection posts. These duplicate connections simplify using a four-wire
supply: supply and ground, force and sense.
Freescale has begun the transition of marking Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) with the Freescale
Semiconductor signature/logo. PCBs may have either Motorola or Freescale markings during the
transition period. These changes will have no impact on form, fit, or function of the current product.
Figure 2-1. Top Side Part Location Diagram
2.3.2Setting the Voltage Regulators
The +5.0-V supply is used to power 3 onboard voltage regulators, VR33, VR18, and VR15. These
regulators generate +3.3, +1.8, and +1.5/1.8 V (V
to the oscillator and clock buffer chips. This supply can be varied over the range +3.3
R12V potentiometer.
The +1.8-V supply is used to power the MC92602 core logic, transceivers, and on-chip phase-locked loop
(PLL). This regulator can be adjusted over the range +1.8 V
The +1.5-V (HSTL) V
supply powers the MC92602 control signal, parallel input, and output interface
DDQ
circuitry. This voltage level is determined by the desired logic interface. The +1.5-V supply can be adjusted
using a R22V1 potentiometer from +1.5 V + 0.45 V/– 0.15 V. If desired, the +1.5-V regulator can be
adjusted to match the +1.8-V range for evaluation in those systems that do not contain a separate +1.5-V
supply.
supplies are accessible via connection posts. Note that these regulators
DDQ
should be set to voltage limits within the operating ranges described in the MC92602 Quad 1.25 Gbaud Reduced Interface SerDes Reference Guide. Failure to operate within these ranges could cause damage to
the MC92602. Freescale will not guarantee MC92602 operation beyond the ranges specified. The R12V,
R22V, and R22V1 potentiometers will be factory set for +3.3, +1.8, and +1.5
V, respectively.
2.3.3HSTL Voltage Reference Regulator
The HSTL I/O has a voltage reference that must be adjusted to set the logic high/low switch point. For a
nominal +1.5 V on the +1.5-V, V
supply, R22V2 should be set such that the voltage at the
DDQ
HSTL_VREF test point is +0.75 V. For those systems whose HSTL voltage will be +1.8 V, t h i s
potentiometer should be set to +0.9 V. The R22V2 potentiometer is typically factory set for +0.8 V.
2.4Reference Clock Source
Through a combination of clock buffers, a reference clock is supplied to the MC92602 and several SMA
output connectors. The input reference clock for the MC92602 can be supplied using either an onboard
crystal oscillator, or by directly driving an external reference clock into the board’s clock buffer circuit via
SMA connector, CLK_IN. The clock circuitry for the MC92602DVB is shown in Figure 2-2.
There are two available positions for using onboard oscillators. A standard 14-pin DIP socket is available
on the board to allow the user to easily change frequencies by swapping in crystal oscillators with other
values. The onboard oscillators must be two times (2×) the desired MVC92602 reference clock frequency.
The default reference clock frequency oscillator supplied with the board is 250 MHz.
Crystal oscillators used with this board should have +3.3-V complementary PECL outputs capable of
driving a line terminated with 50 Ω . Oscillators conforming to these specifications are also available in
J-lead SMT packages and can be soldered onto the underside of the MC92602DVB at location Y2. This
oscillator, Y2, can then be enabled by placing SW1 switch 1 in the ‘off’ position. Both types of crystal
oscillators are available from external vendors in a variety of frequencies. Once either type of oscillator is
installed, SW1 switch 2 must be placed in the ‘on’ position to select the onboard oscillator.
2.4.2External Reference Clock Source
The input reference clock can also be supplied by using an external reference clock into the clock buffer
circuit on the board via the CLK_IN SMA connector. To supply an external reference clock, switch
number 2 on SW1 must be set to the ‘off’ position. The user must then supply a 1.0-Vp-p input clock via
the SMA connector. The CLK_IN input is AC coupled on the board and, therefore, does not require any
DC biasing of the input signal. This external clock input is also terminated with a 50-Ω impedance.
2.4.3Supplying a Clock to the MC92602
The input reference clock, from either the onboard oscillator or an external source, is applied to a
MC100ES6222 clock buffer. This buffer has an input clock select multiplexer, and a programmable
divide-by-one/divide-by-two function. The buffer also contains a master reset (Enable). It is recommended
that this reset, found on SW1 switch 4, be activated, then deactivated after changing the divide-by-xx
switch. This will ensure proper frequency generation.
Between the MC100ES6222 output and the MC92602 reference clock inputs, REF_CLK_P and
REF_CLK_N, is an MC100ES8111 which performs a PECL to HSTL level shift. It also drives two SMA
connectors, 1.5V_CLK_OUT5 and 1.5V_CLK_OUT6, with HSTL level clock signals.
NOTE
The outputs of the MCP100ES8111 expect to see a DC 50-Ω path to ground.
Therefore, if a DC blocker is being used with the 1.5V_CLK_OUT5 or
1.5V_CLK_OUT6 outputs as a trigger or signal to an oscilloscope, a 50-Ω
feed through termination must be placed in line before the DC blocker and
before the attachment to the oscilloscope. A 3dB attenuator may be used in
place of the 50-Ω feed through termination.
Four single-ended, 3.3-V level, clock signals are available on SMA connectors to drive other instruments.
Between the MC100ES8111 output and the 4 SMAs, is an MPC9456 which performs a differential PECL
to single-ended +3.3-V LVTTL/CMOS level shift. These CMOS outputs are series terminated on the
board, then connect to the SMA connectors labeled 3.3V_CLK_OUT1, 3.3V_CLK_OUT2,
3.3V_CLK_OUT3, and 3.3V_CLK_OUT4. All of the outputs of the MPC9456 can be disabled by setting
the DIP switch SW1, switch 7 to the ‘off’ position.
2.4.5Clock Frequency Selection
To accommodate the fact that the MC92602 can receive data on both edges of the reference clock (DDR),
of which many pieces of test equipment are single-edge triggered (SDR), the MC92602DVB clock outputs
can be programmed to be either the same as the supplied frequency or half the supplied frequency by
setting SW1, switches 3, 5, and 6 to either ‘on’ (divide-by-one) or to ‘off’ (divide-by-2). This allows the
interface between the board and the bench to be either single data rate (SDR) with a double speed clock,
or double data rate (DDR) with a single speed clock.
The 1.5V_CLK_OUTn SMA outputs will always follow the clock supplied to the MC92602 and the
frequency is programmed via SW1, switch 3. SMA outputs 3.3V_CLK_OUT1 and 3.3V_CLK_OUT2 can
be programmed by setting SW1, switch 5 and 3.3V_CLK_OUT3 and 3.3V_CLK_OUT4 can be
programmed by setting SW1, switch 6. Table 2-2 lists the switch positions and output frequencies. The
input frequency, CLK_IN refers to either the onboard oscillator frequency or the externally applied clock
source frequency.
NOTE
Only those frequencies listed in the MC92602 Quad 1.25 Gbaud Reduced
Interface SerDes Reference Guide are considered valid. Freescale does not
guarantee operation of the MC92602 at frequencies other than those listed
in the reference Guide.
Figure 2-3 depicts SW1 settings for using an onboard oscillator with the divide-by-two function set for the
MC92602 and 3.3V_CLK_OUTn SMA outputs. The 3.3V_CLK_OUT1 and 3.3V_CLK_OUT2 SMA
outputs are enabled and set to the divide-by-one function. The 3.3V_CLK_OUT3 and 3.3V_CLK_OUT4
SMA outputs are also enabled and are set to the divide-by-two function.

2.5.1.1Parallel Inputs
The parallel inputs, both data and control, are accessible via 2 × 10, 0.100" connectors. Figure 2-4 depicts
the 2 × 10, 0.100" connector numbering scheme, with pin 1 being labeled on the board. A complete
mapping of the MC92602 inputs to the 2 × 10, 0.100" connectors is listed in Appendix A, “Connector
Signals.” Note that all even number pins are connected to ground.
All parallel outputs, both data and status bits, are present at four 2 × 20, 0.100" connectors. Figure 2-5
depicts the 2 × 20, 0.100" output connector numbering scheme, with pin 1 labeled on the board. The parallel
output signals of the MC92602 are 1.5- or 1.8-V HSTL compatible depending on the setting of the V
regulator. A complete mapping of the MC92602 outputs to the 2

DDQ
The MC92602DVB also has two 2 × 8, 0.100" connectors, PG12 and PG14, with dedicated connections to
the +1.5-V V
cables. All of the odd number pins (1, 3, 5, and 7) are connected to the V
and ground planes. These are useful for biasing parallel input signals using jumper
DDQ
plane. All of the even number
DDQ
pins (2, 4, 6, and 8) are connected to the ground (0.0 V) plane.
2.5.3Serial Inputs and Outputs
All MC92602 high-speed serial differential inputs and differential outputs are connected to appropriately
labeled pairs of SMA connectors through board traces with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω (100-Ω
differential). The output driver requires a 50-Ω parallel termination to mid-rail (+0.9 V nominal for +1.8-V
supply). If the termination voltage is not +0.9 V, the signal must be AC coupled. There is no AC coupling
(DC blocking) of the serial outputs on the board. If needed, AC coupling must be done in-line before any
termination.
During all testing, the serial transmitter outputs should be terminated with 50 Ω . This can be done by
connecting the serial transmitter outputs to serial receiver inputs, to any laboratory equipment with 50-Ω
input impedance through in-line AC coupling, or by terminating the outputs with 50-Ω SMA terminations.
2.6Special Test Connection
The MC92602DVB also contains an oscilloscope PCB test socket, labeled TPA. When the MC92602 is
configured in a PLL factory test mode, this test socket enables special access to the PLL.
This test mode is for factory testing purposes only. There are no system
applications for this mode and test socket TPA should remain unconnected
at all times.
Chapter 3
Laboratory Equipment and Quick Setup Evaluation
This chapter begins with a listing of the recommended test equipment needed to perform complete
evaluations on the MC92602. Chapter 4, “Test Setups,” covers specific setup configurations for this
equipment depending on the desired feature under test.
The quick setup evaluation procedures outlined below describe how the MC92602DVB can be used to
evaluate the data ‘eye diagram’ and a simple error rate test using the internal test features of the MC92602
with a minimal amount of test equipment. Only a power supply and sampling oscilloscope are required.
Details of testing in specific systems is left to the user. For more information regarding the MC92602
feature set, refer to the MC92602 Quad 1.25 Gbaud Reduced Interface SerDes Reference Guide.
3.1Recommended Laboratory Equipment
Evaluation of the MC92602 feature set is possible using the MC92602DVB evaluation kit in conjunction
with several pieces of test equipment. The quick setup evaluations and other tests listed in this guide utilize
the basic set of test equipment listed in Table 3-1. Equivalent instrumentation may be substituted. Not all
pieces of test equipment are necessary for all tests.
3.2.1Quick Setup Data-Eye Generation and Observation
A transmitted data-eye can be observed at any of the serial outputs of the MC92602 using its integrated,
23rd order, pseudo-noise (PN) pattern generator. The implementation of the 23-bit PN generator uses the
following polynomial.

1x5x
++=
Stimulus from this generator is 8B/10B encoded and may also be used for further system testing. Refer to
the MC92602 Quad 1.25 Gbaud Reduced Interface SerDes Reference Guide, for more information.
3.2.1.1Equipment Setup
Generation and observation of the data-eye produced by the on-chip PN generator requires only the
MC92602DVB, a power supply, a high-speed digital sampling scope, 0.100" shunts, and single pin
receptacle patch cords. The shunts and patch cords are provided with the MC92602DVB evaluation kit.
The MC92602DVB and test equipment should be connected as depicted in Figure 3-1. Configure clock
circuits with SW2 as shown in Figure 2-3.
NOTE
All unconnected serial transmitter outputs should be terminated to 50 Ω .
This can be done by connecting the serial transmitter outputs to the serial
receiver inputs or to 50 Ω SMA terminations through in-line AC coupling
(DC blocking).
The basic eye diagram will be generated by biasing the parallel inputs according to Table 3-4. Ground
connections can be made using the 0.100" shunts. Connections to +1.5 V V
square pin receptacle patch cords and jumpering to the odd numbered pins of headers PG12 and PG14. All
even number pins on the connector headers are connected to the board’s ground plane. All unlisted pins
are not connected.
Tabl e 3-4. Data-Eye Generation Parallel Input Biasing
1. Connect the MC92Q602DVB and test equipment as described in Figure 3-1 and Table 3-4. This
will place the MC92602 in PN generation mode with the MC92602 in reset.
Step 2 and 3 may be skipped if previously performed when setting up the DVB.
2. Apply +5.0 V to the evaluation board. Verify voltage levels of +3.3 V, +1.8 V, and +V
DDQ
(1.5 V)
regulators at connectors T10, T7, and T6, respectively. If necessary, adjust R12V, R22V, and
R22V1 to obtain desired voltage levels.
3. Verify that the reference clock frequency at CLK_OUT5 is 125 MHz
(period = 8 ns).
4. Observe XMIT_x_P or XMIT_x_N output. Since the chip is in reset, the transmitter should show
a constant output level at ground.
5. Connect the RESET (connector CTRL_SIG_0, Pin 11) to a V
access connection. This releases
DDQ
the RESET signal.
6. Observe XMIT_x_P or XMIT_x_N. The transmitter should now be outputting random data.
Setting the digital sampling oscilloscope to infinite persistence mode will display a data-eye. An
example of a data-eye is shown in Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2. MC92602 Data-Eye Using Recommended Test Setup
In addition to having an integrated PN generator, the MC92602 also has a bit error rate checker (BERC).
An integrated 23rd order signature analyzer, that is synchronized to the incoming PN stream is used to
count code group mismatch errors relative to the internal PN reference pattern. The following test
procedure will describe how to use this BIST feature. For more information concerning the MC92602
BIST, refer to the MC92602 Quad 1.25 Gbaud Reduced Interface SerDes Reference Guide.
3.2.3.1Equipment Setup
Connect the MC92602DVB as shown in Figure 3-3, connecting the transmitter outputs of the link under
test (XLINK_x_P/N) to the receiver under test (RLINK_x_P/N).
NOTE
The receiver signature analyzers assume all four channels are being
exercised. If BIST testing is being performed between devices, or by means
of external loopback on selected channels, the unused channel receivers
must be disabled or the analyzers will not go into the PN Sync state. That is,
receivers not having a PN stimulus must have XCVR_x_DISABLE
asserted.
The bias connections for the parallel inputs to perform the quick setup BERC test are the same as those for
the quick setup eye-diagram and shown in Table 3-4.
The parallel outputs are connected to a data analysis system. The data analyzer may be used to observe the
start up sequence and the status and errors detected by the internal data analyzers.
3.2.3.3Quick Setup BERC Test Procedure
1. Connect the MC92602DVB and test equipment as described in Section 3.2.3.1, “Equipment
Setup.” This will place the MC92602 in PN generation mode with the MC92602 held in reset and
set the receivers to BERC mode using the recovered clock.
Steps 2 and 3 may be skipped if previously performed when setting up the DVB.
2. Apply +5.0 V to the evaluation board. Verify voltage levels of +3.3 V, +1.8 V, and +V
DDQ
(1.5 V)
regulators at connectors T10, T7, and T6, respectively. If necessary, adjust R12V, R22V, and
R22V1 to obtain desired voltage levels.
3. Verify that the reference clock frequency at CLK_OUT1 is 156.25 MHz
(period = 6.4 ns).
4. Connect the RESET (connector CTRL_SIG_0, pin 11) to a +1.5 V V
access connection. This
DDQ
releases the RESET signal.
5. Observe the parallel outputs on the data analyzer. As described in the MC92602 Quad 1.25 Gbaud Reduced Interface SerDes Reference Guide, the MC92602 will start and lock the PLL, initialize
the receivers, perform byte alignment, and reset the bit error counter.
6. When the receivers are locked and BIST is running, the recovered clock is observable on
RECV_x_RCLK. Refer to Table 3-5 for the receiver state sequence, which will occur on each
receiver’s status output. See Figure 3-4 for an example of a receiver start-up and error detection
sequence.

error during that byte time. The value of RECV_x_[4:0] remains constant until another error is
detected or the system is reset. If the receiver counter fills with errors, all bits of RECV_x_[4:0]
stay a logic high (11111111) until the receiver is reset. Refer to the MC92602 Quad 1.25 Gbaud Reduced Interface SerDes Reference Guide for more detail.

This chapter outlines the laboratory test equipment setup and procedure to evaluate the features of the
MC92602 in more depth than those outlined in the previous chapter. These setups are meant to be
guidelines only and are not implied to be complete. Details of testing in specific system applications are
left to the user.
4.1Serial Link Verification Using a Serial Bit Error Rate Tester
(BERT)
This test setup is used to observe the rate at which the MC92602 produces errors given either
pseudo-random (PRBS) patterns or user-defined pattern sets generated by the serial bit error rate tester
(BERT). The MC92602 is placed in repeater mode, REPE = high, thereby disabling the parallel receiver
and transmitter buses. Testing performed using the ten-bit interface mode does not require the insertion of
idle characters for word recognition or byte alignment. If verification using the 8B/10B encoder or other
MC92602 features is required, then appropriate idle insertion and timing requirements as outlined in the
MC92602 Quad 1.25 Gbaud Reduced Interface SerDes Reference Guide, must be followed.
Figure 4-1 depicts the test setup for MC92602 in full-speed mode (HSE = ‘0’). The control bits are set as
follows:
•REPE = ‘1’
•TBIE = ‘1’
All other control bits are set to ‘0,’ except RESET, which is initially set to ‘0,’ then transitioned to ‘1’ to
start the MC92602.

Serial link testing may also be performed using half-speed mode (HSE = ‘1’). This reduces all frequencies
in the setup by a factor of two. Figure 4-2 depicts the serial link test setup for using HSE and using a
divide-by-10 prescaler.
The following tests are guidelines for verifying the performance of the MC92602 in ‘noisy’ conditions.
Results will vary depending on input reference frequencies, MC92602 mode of operation, test setup and
equipment, and test environment.
4.2.1Jitter Test System Calibration
Before beginning any type of jitter measurements, the system must first be calibrated, as shown in
Figure 4-3, to produce the desired frequency and amplitude modulation of the jittered source. The
amplitude of modulation is then translated into jitter in units of peak-to-peak unit intervals (UIp-p).
Different synthesized sweepers have different characteristics at different frequencies. It is possible that
certain frequencies will produce spurious side lobes which will affect jitter characterization. It is strongly
advised that a bandpass filter centered on the carrier frequency be used at the input to the microwave
transition analyzer. Refer to the synthesized sweeper reference Guide for more details.
This test setup is used to observe the amount of jitter placed on the reference clock that is transferred to
the data outputs. Example frequencies were chosen to match narrow bandpass filters available with the
Agilent 71500C jitter analysis system. The control bits are set as follows:
•TBIE = ‘1’
All other control inputs are set to ‘0.’
The parallel data inputs must be set to the pattern shown in Figure 4-4. This data pattern appears as a
625-MHz clock signal at the serial outputs.

The test setup, as shown in Figure 4-5, is used to observe the amount of jitter placed on the reference clock
that does not produce errors on the serial data outputs as compared to the input serial data stream. The
MC92602 is placed in ten-bit interface mode (TBIE) and repeater mode (REPE). The serial data stream
can be set to either PRBS or user-defined data. The control bits are set as follows:
•REPE = ‘1’

Figure 4-5. Reference Clock Jitter Tolerance Test Setup
The test setup, as shown in Figure 4-6, is used to observe the amount of jitter placed on the serial data
inputs that does not produce errors on the serial data outputs. The MC92602 is placed in ten-bit interface
mode (TBIE) and repeater mode (REPE). The serial data stream can be set to either PRBS or user-defined
data. The control bits are set as follows:
The parallel data input and output signals of the MC92602DVB design verification board are listed in the
following tables. All the connection test points use the common 2 row 0.100" spaced 3-M type connectors.
A.1Input: 2 × 10 (0.100") Connectors
The configuration, control, data, and test inputs to the MC92602 are via 2 row by 10 connectors. There are
a total of 12 input connectors on the DVB.
On each connector, the even pin numbers (2, 4, ..., to 20) are connected to the ground plane. The signal
inputs (on the odd pin numbers) do not have pull-up resistors on the DVB board. Therefore, if the
configuration requires a ‘high’ or logic 1, the pin must be jumper connected to +1.5 V (V
access connectors PG12 or PG14. If the input is required to be ‘low,’ a shorting jumper may be installed.
The signal name, description, and the MC92602 device ‘ball’ (pin) number are listed in the following
tables for each of the input connectors.
A.1.1Control Signal Input Connectors
The signals on connectors CTRL_SIG_0, CTRL_SIG_1, and CTRL_SIG_2 (PG1–PG3, respectively) are
control input signals that set the basic configuration to the MC92602. These signals and corresponding
connector pins are listed in Table A-1, Table A-2, and Table A-3, respectively.
The MC92602 transmitter parallel data input signals for channels A through D are mapped to the 2 × 10
connectors as listed in the tables below. Table A-4 shows the 4-bit data (DDR) input for transmitter
channels A through D, respectively, on A_XMIT0 to D_XMIT0 (PG8, PG10, PG6, and PG4) connectors.

The MC92602 receiver parallel data outputs are connected to 2 × 20, 0.100" connectors. A mapping of
these signals are contained in Table A-6.
Table A-6 lists the signals for the A_RECV–D_RECV (LA1–LA4, respectively) connectors. Note that the
receive data clock, RECV_x_RCLK, is brought out to two connector pins. Care should be exercised when
connecting to both these pins not to exceed the drive capacity of the chip output. Refer to the MC92602 Quad 1.25 Gbaud Reduced Interface SerDes Reference Guide, for more details.

Table A-7 lists the signals for the connector TEST_0 (PG13). This is the MC92602 test access port, TAP,
interface for IEEE Std 1149 JTAG testing.
NOTE
There are 10-KΩ internal pull-ups on TMS, TDI, and TRST. If TRST is not
held low during power up or does not receive an active low preset after
power up, the test logic may assume an indeterminate state disabling some
of the normal transceiver functions. It is recommended that TRST be
terminated in one of the following ways:
•TRST be driven by a TAP controller that provides a reset after power up.
•Connect TRST to RESET.
•Terminate TRST with a 1-KΩ resistor (or hardwire) to ground.
It is important to use a shorting jumper on the TRST input to comply with the above note. For more
information on the test access port, see Section 5.1 in the MC92602 Quad 1.25 Gbaud Reduced Interface SerDes Reference Guide, for more details.
Evaluating jitter in a system requires that all clocks within the system be based on one common source.
For this reason, it is often necessary to use prescalers to derive the needed reference clock. Freescale has
developed a small programmable prescaler with a maximum input frequency of 4.4 GHz which can be
assembled using commercially available parts. Figure C-1 depicts the block diagram of this prescaler.

The input to the prescaler can be either through a divide-by-2 or directly into the 5-bit programmable
counter. The bank 1 and bank 2 DIP switches can be used to select a variety of prescaler values based on
the following formula:

where A = 1 to 31 and N = 2, 4, or 8.
