Features

General Description

The VSC852 is a monolithic 64x64 asynchronous crosspoint switch, designed to carry broadband data
streams up to 1.6Gb/s. Typical applications include Gigabit Fibre Channel/Ethernet and HDTV. The non­blocking switch core is programmed through a serial port interface that allows random access programming of
each output port. A high degree of signal integrity is maintained throughout the chip via fully differential signal
paths.

The crosspoint function is based on a multiplexer tree architecture. Each data output is driven by a 64:1
multiplexer tree that can be programmed to one and only one of its 64 inputs. The signal path is unregistered, so
no clock is required for the data inputs. The signal path is asynchronous, so there are no restrictions on the
phase, frequency, or signal pattern at each input. (Note: the maximum frequency for any data line is 1.6Gb/s.)

Each output driver is a fully differential switched current driver with on-die back-terminations for maxi­mum signal integrity. Data inputs are terminated on die through 50Ω resistors to an external VTT supply.

The serial port interface uses TTL levels and provides separate pins for data input and output. Core pro­gramming can be sequential for each address or multiple program assignments can be queued and issued simul­taneously.

Functional Diagram

Functional Description

Input/Output Characteristics

All input data must be differential and biased to PECL levels. On-chip terminations are provided, with a
nominal impedance of 50Ω. All input termination resistors are tied to V

TERM

. To minimize power dissipation,

the V

TERM

supply should be biased within ±100mV of the input common-mode voltage (nominally 2.0V). The

V

TERM

supply can be biased below the input common-mode voltage at the expense of increased on-chip power

dissipation.

Data outputs are provided through differential current switches with on-chip back-terminations. The drive
level of the output circuit is designed to handle external 50Ω termination. Although external termination is not
required for correct functional operation, it is strongly recommended to assure proper signal levels and mini­mize reflections.

Programming Interface

The switch core is programmed through a serial interface circuit that allows sequential reads or writes to
the program memory array. The program memory array is buffered to allow multiple programming instructions
to be loaded simultaneously with the CONFIG pin.

The program data is composed of two parts: output pin address and input pin address. The output pin
address, denoted by A0 through A6, specifies which output channel is to be programmed. Address bit A6 is
reserved for future expansion. The input pin address, denoted by D0 through D5, specifies which input port the

switch slice should connect to. The format of the program data is simple binary, where the binary value maps
directly to the switch slice position and/or input port number. For example, program data 0000100/010110
would direct output channel Y4 to connect to input channel A22.

To program the switch core, the address and data (13 bits total) for the given output port must be serially
clocked into the SDIN input. The LOAD pin must be asserted with the last serial program bit to load the pro­gram data into the on-chip program register. The program data will be held in the register until it is either repro­grammed or the chip is powered off. The last step to programming the switch core is to transfer the program
data to the registers that control the state of each switch slice. The transfer is completed by asserting the CON­FIG pin. The CONFIG pin can be used as a strobe to allow multiple program commands to be implemented
simultaneously. The CONFIG pin can also be tied HIGH (always asserted) so the core will reprogram after
every LOAD pulse. See Figure 1.

To read the current programming of the switch core, the desired address to query must be clocked into the
chip’s SDIN port. The format of the program data is the same as for writing. Because of the depth of the on-chip
registers, the address bits must be followed by another 6 CLK cycles so the address data is correctly positioned
in the internal register. The dummy bits that are clocked in during the last 6 bits of the program data will be
overwritten when READ is asserted. As the last dummy bit is clocked in, the READ pin must be asserted to
load the on-chip program data into the shift register used for the serial interface logic. See Figure 2.
