General Description
The VSC8164 is a 1:16 demultiplexer for use in SONET/SDH systems operating at a standard 2.488Gb/s
data rate or forward error correction (FEC) data rate up to 2.7Gb/s. The device operates using a single 3.3V
power supply, and is packaged in a thermally enhanced plastic package. The thermal performance of the
128PQFP allows the use of the VSC8164 without a heat sink under most thermal conditions.

The incoming 2.488Gb/s data (up to 2.7Gb/s for FEC applications) and input clock are received by high
speed inputs DI and HSC LKI. The da ta and clock inputs are in ternally te rminated by a ce nter-tapped resi stor
network. For differential input DC coupling, the network is terminated to the appropriate termination voltage

In most situations these inputs will have high transition density and little DC offset. However, in cases
where this does not hold, direct DC connection is possible. All serial dat a and clock inputs ha ve the same circuit
topology, as shown in Figure 4. The reference voltage is created by a resistor divider as shown. If the input signal is driven differentially and DC-coupled to the part, the mid-point of the input signal sw ing should be centered about this reference voltage and not exceed the maximum allowable amplitude (
