FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The OQ2541 recovers data and clock signals from an incoming high speed bitstream. The input signal on pins DIN and DINQ is buffered and amplified by the input circuitry (see Fig.1). The signal is then fed to the Alexander phase detector where the phase of the incoming data signal is compared with that of the internal clock. If the signals are out of phase, the phase detector generates correction pulses (up or down) that shift the phase of the Voltage Controlled Ring Oscillator (VCRO) output in discrete amounts (∆ϕ) until the clock and data signals are in phase. The technique used is based on principles first proposed by J.D.H. Alexander, hence the name of the phase detector.
Data sampling
The eye pattern of the incoming data is sampled at three instants A, T and B (see Fig.3). When clock and data signals are synchronized (locked):
A is the centre of the data bit
T is in the vicinity of the next transition
B is in the centre of the bit following the transition.
If the same level is recorded at both A and B, a transition has not occurred and no action is taken regardless of the level T. However, if levels A and B are different a transition has occurred and the phase detector uses level T to determine whether the clock was too early or too late with respect to the data transition.
If levels A and T are the same, but different from level B, the clock was too early and needs to be slowed down a little. The Alexander phase detector then generates a down pulse which stretches a single output pulse from the ring oscillator by approximately 0.25% which is 1 ps of the 400 ps bit period in the STM16/OC48 mode. This forces the VCRO to run at a slightly lower frequency for one bit period. The phase of the clock signal is thus shifted fractionally with respect to the data signal.
Fig.3 Data sampling.

DATADATA
CLOCK
ATB
If, on the other hand, levels B and T are the same but different from level A, the clock was too late and needs to be speeded up for synchronization. The phase detector generates an up pulse forcing the VCRO to run at a slightly higher frequency (+0.25%) for one bit period. The phase of the clock signal is shifted with respect to the data signal (as above, but in the opposite direction). Only the proportional path is active while these phase adjustments are being made. Because the instantaneous frequency of the VCRO can be changed only in one of two discrete steps (±0.25%), this type of loop is also known as a Bang/Bang Phase-Locked Loop (PLL).
If not only the phase but also the frequency of the VCRO is incorrect, a long train of up or down pulses will be generated. This pulse train is integrated to generate a control voltage that is used to shift the centre frequency of the VCRO. Once the correct frequency has been established, only the phase will need to be adjusted for synchronization. The proportional path adjusts the phase of the clock signal, whereas the integrating path adjusts the centre frequency.
Frequency window detector
The frequency window detector checks the VCRO frequency which must be within a 1000 ppm (parts per million) window around the required frequency.
It compares the output of frequency divider 2 with the reference frequency on pins CREF and CREFQ (19.44 or 38.88 MHz; see Table 2). If the VCRO frequency is found to be outside this window, the frequency window detector disables the Alexander phase detector and forces the VCRO output to a frequency within the window. The phase detector then starts acquiring lock again. Because of the loose coupling of 1000 ppm, the reference frequency does not need to be highly accurate or stable. Any crystal based oscillator that generates a reasonably accurate frequency (e.g. 100 ppm) will do.
Since sampling point A is always in the centre of the eye pattern when the data and clock signals are in phase (locked), the values recorded at this point are taken as the retrieved data. The data and clock signals are available at the CML output buffers, which are capable of driving a 50 load.

Power supply and power control loop
The OQ2541 contains an on-board voltage regulator. An external power transistor is needed to deliver the supply to this circuit. The required external circuit is straightforward, and can be built using a few components. A suitable circuit with a power supply of4.5 V is illustrated in Fig.6.
A different configuration could be used, as long as the power supply rejection ratio is greater than 60 dB for all frequencies. The inductor is a RF choke with an impedance greater than 50 at frequencies higher than 2 MHz. Any transistor with a β > 100 and enough current sink capability can be used.
The OQ2541 can also be used with a power supply of
5.0 or 5.2 V. The only adaptation to be made to the power control circuit is to change the emitter resistor R1 (see Table 1).

Output amplitude reference
The voltage swing at the CML compatible output stages (pins DOUT, DOUTQ, COUT, COUTQ, DLOOP, DLOOPQ, CLOOP and CLOOPQ) can be controlled by adjusting the voltage on pin AREF (see Fig.7). An internal voltage divider of 500 and 16 k connected between ground and VEE initially fixes this level.
In most applications the outputs will be DC-coupled to a load of 50 . The output level regulation circuit will maintain a 200 mV (p-p) single-ended swing across this load. The voltage on pin AREF is half the single-ended peak-to-peak value of the output signal (100 mV). No adjustments are necessary with DC-coupling.
If the outputs are AC-coupled, the voltage on pin AREF is half the single-ended peak-to-peak value of the output
signal multiplied by a factor

L
is the external load and Ro is the output
impedance of the OQ2541 (100 ).

External capacitor for loop filter
The loop filter is an integrator with a built-in capacitance of 2 × 130 pF. An external capacitance of 200 nF must be connected between pins CAPUPQ and CAPDOQ to ensure loop stability while the frequency window detector is active.
Loop mode enable
The loop mode is provided for system testing (see Fig.8). The loop mode is enabled by applying a voltage lower than
0.8 V (TTL LOW-level) to pin
ENL. This selects the loop mode: the outputs on pins DLOOP, DLOOPQ, CLOOP and CLOOPQ are switched on.
If a voltage higher than 2.0 V (TTL HIGH-level) is applied to pin ENL, then pins DOUT, DOUTQ, COUT and COUTQ are switched on while pins DLOOP, DLOOPQ, CLOOP and CLOOPQ are disabled to minimize power consumption.
If pin ENL is connected to VEE(3.3 V), all outputs are enabled.
Lock detection
Pin LOCK should be interpreted as an indication for the presence of the reference clock on pin CREF and for properly functioning of the acquisition aid (frequency window detector).

Pin LOCK is an open-collector TTL output and should be pulled up with a 10 k resistor to a positive supply voltage. If the VCO frequency is within a 1000 ppm window around the desired frequency, pin LOCK will remain at a HIGH-level. If no reference clock is present, or the VCO is outside the 1000 ppm window, pin LOCK will be at a LOW-level. The logic level on pin LOCK does not indicate locking of the PLL to the incoming data; this is indicated by the signal on pin LOS.
Loss of signal detection
The Loss Of Signal (LOS) function is closely related to the functionality of the Alexander phase detector; see Fig.3 for the meaning of A, B and T in this section.
In the functional description it is described that the phase detector does not take any action if the value at sample points A and B are the same, because there has not been any transition. However, if levels A and B are the same but different from level T, this still means there has not been any transition, but level T has got the wrong level somehow. This is probably due to noise or bad signal integrity, which will lead to a bit error. Hence the occurrence of this particular situation is an indication for bit errors. If too many of these bit errors occur per time and the PLL is gradually losing lock, the LOS alarm is asserted. The LOS alarm assert level is around a Bit Error Rate (BER) for BER = 5 10
2
and the de-assert level is around
BER = 1 10−3. The LOS function will only work properly if the input signal
is larger than the input offset of the OQ2541; otherwise, the signal will be masked by the input offset and interpreted as consecutive bits of the same sign, thus obstructing a proper LOS detection. In practice an optical front-end device with a noise level (RMS value) larger than the specified offset of the OQ2541 will ensure a proper LOS indication.
The LOS detection is BER related, but neither dependent on the data stream content, nor protocol. Therefore, an SDH/SONET data stream is no prerequisite for a proper LOS function. Since the LOS function of the OQ2541 is derived from digital signals, it is a good supplement to an analog, amplitude based, LOS indication.
Pin LOS is an open-collector TTL compatible output. A pull-up resistor should be connected to a positive supply voltage.
Pin LOS will be at a HIGH-level (TTL) if the data signal is absent on pins DIN and DINQ or if BER > 5 10−2; otherwise pin LOS will be at a LOW-level if BER < 1 10−3.

Reference frequency select
A reference clock signal of 19.44 or 38.88 MHz must be connected to pins CREF and CREFQ. It should be noted that the reference frequency should be either
39.0625 MHz or 19.53125 MHz in a Gigabit Ethernet system. Pins DREF19 and DREF39 are used to select the appropriate output frequency at frequency divider 2 (see Table 2).
To minimize the adverse influence of reference clock crosstalk, a differential signal with an amplitude from 75 to 150 mV (p-p) is advised.
Since the reference clock is only used as an acquisition aid for the PLL of the frequency window detector, the quality of the reference clock (i.e. phase noise) is not important. There is no phase noise specification imposed on the reference clock generator and even frequency stability may be in the order of 100 ppm. In general, most inexpensive crystal based oscillators are suitable.
When the OQ2541 is used in an application with a fixed reference clock frequency, it is best to connect the planes of pins DREF19 and DREF39 with a short trace or a via to the plane of pin GND or pin V
EE
. If a selectable reference clock frequency is required in the application, the pins can be controlled through low ohmic switching FETs, e.g. BSH103 or equivalent (low R
DSon
).

Due to the nature of the PLL, the very wide tuning range is a necessity for proper lock behaviour over the guaranteed temperature range, aging and batch to batch spread.
Though it might seem that the OQ2541 is capable of recovering other bit rates than SDH/SONET and Gigabit Ethernet rates (STM1/OC3, STM4/OC12, STM16/OC48 and 1250 Mbits/s), the behaviour can not be guaranteed.
The required SDH/SONET bit rate is selected by connecting pins DOUT155, DOUT622 and DOUT1250 to ground or to the supply voltage VEE (see Table 3):
For STM16/OC48 (2488.32 Mbits/s) operation: all three pins must be connected to ground
For Gigabit Ethernet (1250 Mbits/s) operation: pin DOUT1250 must be connected to V
EE
For STM4/OC12 (622.08 Mbits/s) operation: pins DOUT1250 and DOUT622 must be connected to VEE (the dividers are daisy chained)
For STM1/OC3 (155,52 Mbits/s) operation: all three pins must be connected to VEE.
The connections to VEE and ground carry a current of a few milliamperes and should have low resistance and inductance, so short printed-circuit board tracks are recommended. In some cases a decoupling capacitor near the selection pins can be necessary to provide a clean return path for RF signals.
When the OQ2541 is used in an application with a fixed data rate, it is best to connect the planes of pins DOUT155, DOUT622 and DOUT1250 with a short trace or a via to the plane of pin GND or pin VEE. If a selectable reference clock frequency is required in the application, the pins can be controlled through low-ohmic switching FETs, e.g. BSH103 or equivalent (low R

Application with positive supply voltage
Due to the versatile design of the OQ2541 the device can also operate in a positive supply voltage application, although some pins have a different mode of operation.
This section deals with these differences and supports the user with achieving a successful application of the OQ2541 in a +5 V environment.
A
PPLICATION DIAGRAM
A sample application diagram can be found in Fig.29. It should be noted that all pins GND are now connected to VCC and all pins VEE are connected to the regulated voltage from the power controller.
O
UTPUT SELECTION
In a positive supply voltage application, the loop mode is the default RF output. Due to the decoding logic on pin ENL, it is only possible to select the loop mode outputs or enable all the outputs.
If pin ENL is connected to VCC (+5 V), only the loop mode outputs are active (see Table 4). When pin ENL is connected to VEE (the voltage is approximately 3.3 V below VCC) all outputs become active. In the positive supply voltage application the normal mode outputs can not be selected, unless the voltage on pin ENL is 2 V above the positive supply voltage (VCC).
CAUTION
Do not to connect pin ENL to ground, because this will destroy the IC.
LOSS OF SIGNAL AND LOCK DETECTION In the negative supply application, pins LOS and LOCK
are open-collector outputs that require pull-up resistors to a positive supply voltage.
In the positive supply application, the pull-up voltage would need to be higher then the positive supply voltage and the signals on pins LOS and LOCK would not be TTL compatible any more. However, the internal circuit on pins LOS and LOCK can be used in a current mirror configuration (see Fig.9). This requires only an external PNP transistor (e.g. BC857 or equivalent) to mirror the current. A 10 k pull-down resistor from the collector of the external transistor to ground yields a TTL compatible signal again, albeit inverted. Table 5 shows the meaning of the LOS and LOCK flag, when used in the positive supply application.
