General Description
The GD16591A and GD16592A is a
front-end transmitter/receiver chip set de-
signed for multiple line interfaces:
uSTM-4 / OC-12
uSTM-1 / OC-3
uPDH E4
This chip set is designed to interconnect
the high speed line interface to standard
CMOS ASICs providing low speed data
interface.
The GD16591A and GD16592A devices
are designed for use in both electrical
and optical line interface modules. The
devices support line speeds of:
u140/155 Mbit/s NRZ mode for E4/
OC-3/STM-1 for an optical line inter-
face.
u280/311 Mbit/s for E4/OC-3/STM-1 in
CMI mode for electrical line interface,
where en-/decoding is made at the
system site.
u622 Mbit/s NRZ mode line speed for
OC-12/STM-4 operation.
The on-chip VCO and PLL blocks for
clock generation eliminate the need for
an external high-speed clock signal.
The GD16592A comprises a Limiting In-
put Amplifier (LIA), Clock & Data Recov-
ery, and a configurable DeMUX circuit.
The LIA offers a differential input sensi-
tivity of 10 mV peak to peak for the high-
speed serial input. A Lock Detect output
monitors the PLL locked onto the re-
ceived serial data.
The low-speed interface I/O´s are
LVTTL-level, and the high-speed I/O´s
are differential LVPECL levels (The LIA
input is usable as LVPECL input).
System (local) Loop-back and Line (re-
mote) Loop-back functions offer simpli-
fied manufacturing and field testing.
Low power consumption is achieved by
the 3.3 V single power supply and by
omitting all circuitry, which can easily be
implemented in the low speed system
ASIC, thus reducing the overall power
consumption.
The devices are housed in 48 pin
EDQUAD TQFPäplastic packages.

Functional Details
General
The Transmitter and Receiver functional
blocks are split up into two devices in or-
der to reduce cross talk and pin count
per device.
The telecommunication system (line
speed group) is choosen by the select
pin (SELPDH):
uFor SDH/SONET
(622/311/155 Mbit/s) set SELPDH
High.
uFor PDH (280/140 Mbit/s)
set SELPDH Low.
The devices can operate in different line
and system speed modes; selected by
DSEL1, DSEL2 and SELPDH,
see Table 1.
The bit order on the low speed parallel
interface is defined with bit 0 as the first
bit transferred (ID0 for the transmitter
and OD0 for the receiver).
The bit rate per connection can be kept
at 78(70) Mbit/s regardless of the line
speed. In addition a separate low speed
1:8 mode support the transmission of
155(140) Mbit/s serial to 19(17) Mbit/s,
8 bit parallel. All data pins are used.
Both devices have a selectable clock di-
vider for the system reference clock,
which allows the circuits to be driven
from either 19 (17), 38(35), or
78(70) MHz reference, independantly of
the line and system speed. The refer-
ence clock frequency is selected by
RSEL1, RSEL2, and SELPDH,
see table 2.
Connecting the differential Line Loop Sig-
nals and Clocks (LLxxx) between
GD16591A and GD16592A allows clock
recovered loop-back of the received line
signal, when LLB on both devices is low.
Connecting the differential System Loop
Signals (SLSxx) between GD16591A and
GD16592A allows system loop-back,
when SLB on both devices is low.
Both circuits comprise fully integrated
PLL functions for re-timing data at the
transmit site, and for clock and data re-
covery at the receive site.
A passive loop filter (consisting of a re-
sistor and a capacitor) is used for both
devices. The external loop filter connect-
ing OUCHP to VCTL is shown in Figure 1
(for the transmitter GD16591A) and Fig-
ure 2 (for the receiver GD16592A).
The loop filter values are optimized at the
evaluation board GD90591/592.
The optimal values depends on the ac-
tual application. The suggested values in
Figures 1 and 2are optimized for best
jitter transfer at the evaluation board.
The loop filter values should be opti-
mized for the actual application.

The Transmitter - GD16591A
The schematic block diagram of
GD16591A is shown in Figure 3.
By the select signal (CSEL) two different
reference clock inputs can be selected
(CKR0/CKR1). This allows for line timing
in normal operation with a selection of a
separate reference when the received
line input data is flawed. Thus, allowing
forwarding alarm status in the event of a
loss of received data.
Forward Clocking
Co-directional timing for input data is pro-
vided. The phase can with the select pins
PSEL1-2 be set to 0°/90°/ 180°/ 270°dif-
ference between data input sampling and
reference clock (CKR0/CKR1).
When forward clocking, the frequency of
the reference clock must be identical to
the input data bit rate.
I.e. for 78(70) Mbit/s use 78(70) MHz ref-
erence clock, and for 19(17) Mbit/s use
19(17) MHz reference clock. Refer to AC
Characteristics on page 12.
Counter Clocking
In addition, contra directional timing is
provided. The phase between input and
CKOUT is adjustable with (0°/90°/180°/
270°). Refer to AC Characteristics on
page 12.
CKOUT is kept synchronous to the refer-
ence clock by the Phase Frequency
Comparator (PFC).
Outputs
The outputs from the multiplexer is fed to
differential LVPECL output stages. See
Figures 4 and 5for output temination.
The serial data output (SOP/SON) are
accompanied by a serial clock output
(COP/CON). See timing data on
page 12.
SLSOP/SLSON is enabled when SLB is
low. When SLB is high (e.g. by internal
pull-up resistor) SLSOP=0and
SLSON = 1; thus avoiding noise injection
at normal operation.

The Receiver - GD16592A
The schematic block diagram of
GD16592A is shown in Figure 6.
Lock Detect Circuit
The lock detect circuit continuously moni-
tors the frequency difference between
the reference clock and the divided VCO
clock. If the reference clock and the di-
vided VCO frequency differs by more
than 500 ppm (or 2000 ppm, selectable),
it switches the PFC into the PLL in order
to pull the VCO back inside the lock-in
range. This mode is called the acquisi-
tion mode.
The PFC is used to ensure predictable
lock up conditions for the GD16592A by
locking the VCO to an external reference
clock source. It is only used during acqui-
sition and pulls the VCO into the lock
range where the Bang-Bang phase de-
tector is capable of acquiring lock to in-
coming data. The PFC is made with
digital set/reset cells giving it a true
phase and frequency characteristic.
Once the VCO is inside the lock-range
the lock-detection circuit switches the
Bang-Bang phase detector into the PLL
in order to lock to the data signal. This
mode is called CDR mode.
Figure 6. The GD16592A Multifunction
Receiver.
Bang-Bang Phase Detector
The Bang-Bang phase detector is used
in CDR mode as a true digital type de-
tector, producing a binary output. It sam-
ples the incoming data twice each bit
period: once in the transition of the (pre-
vious) bit period and once in the middle
of the bit period. When a transition oc-
curs between 2 consecutive bits - the
value of the sample in the transition be-
tween the bits will show whether the
VCO clock leads or lags the data. Hence
the PLL is controlled by the bit transition
point, thereby ensuring that data is sam-
pled in the middle of the eye, once the
system is in CDR mode. The external
loop filter components control the chara-
cteristics of the PLL.
The binary output of either the PFC or
the Bang-Bang phase detector (depend-
ing of the mode of the lock-detection cir-
cuit) is fed to a charge pump capable of
sinking or sourcing current or tristating.
The output of the charge pump is filtered
through the loop filter and controls the
tuning-voltage of the VCO.
As a result of the continuous monitoring
lock-detect circuit the VCO frequency
never deviates more than 500 ppm
(2000 ppm) from the reference clock be-
fore the PLL is considered to be Out of
Lock. Hence the acquisition time is pre-
dictable and short and the output clock
CKOUT is always kept within the
500 ppm (2000 ppm) limits, ensuring
safe clocking of down stream circuitry.
The LOCK Signal
The status of the lock-detection circuit is
given by the LOCK signal. In CDR mode
LOCK is steady high. In acquisition mode
LOCK is alternating indicating the con-
tinuous shifts between the Bang-Bang
Detector (high) and the PFC (low).
The LOCK output may be used to gener-
ate a pseudo Loss Of Signal (LOS). The
time for LOCK to assert is predictable
and short, equal to the time to go into
lock, but the time for LOCK to de-assert
must be considered. When the line is
down (i.e. no information received) the
optical receiver circuit may produce ran-
dom noise. It is possible that this random
noise will keep the GD16592A within the
500 ppm (2000 ppm) range of the line
frequency, hence LOCK will remain as-
serted for a non-deterministic time. This
may be prevented by injecting a small
current at the loop filter node, which ac-
tively pulls the PLL out of the lock range
when the output of the phase detector
acts randomly.
The negligible penalty paid is a static
phase error on the sampling time in the
decision gate. However, due to the na-
ture of the phase detector the error will
be small (few degrees), forcing the loop
to be at one edge of the error-function
shaped transfer characteristic of the de-
tector.
Inputs
The input amplifier (pin SIP / SIN) is de-
signed as a limiting amplifier with a sen-
sitivity of 10 mV (differential). Standard
LVPECL levels may be applied as well.
The inputs may be either AC or DC cou-
pled. If the inputs are AC coupled the
amplifier features an internal offset can-
celling DC feedback. Notice that the off-
set cancellation will only work when the
input is differential and AC-coupled as
shown in the Figures 7 and 8on page 5.
The serial input SLSIP/SLSIN is selected
when SLB is low.
Outputs
The CKOUT provides the necessary con-
trol for clocking the received data into the
system ASIC. The phase can be ad-
justed with PSEL1-2 (0°/90°/180°/270°).

Practical Considerations
The PCB must be designed with shortest
possible conductors for the signals to the
line interfaces. These connections should
be designed as transmission lines.
De-coupling capacitors should be applied
to each power supply pin. Care should
be taken to reduce ground bounce.
The line loop signal and clock must be
terminated close to the transmitter device
(GD16591A).
The system loop signal must be termi-
nated close to the receiver device
(GD16592A).

JT Jitter Transfer Note 4 0.0 0.1 dB
Note 1: T equals the period time for CKOUT, which is the bit period for the parallel data; i.e. 12.9 ns for 78 Mbit/s or 51.4 ns for
19 Mbit/s.
Note 2: Measured at VTH = 1.4 V. It is the rising edge, which is used for the timing and frequency comparison. The 20% - 80%
rise time should be less than 1 ns to minimise jitter at the reference clock inputs.
Note 3: Set-up and Hold times with respect to the delay TRC.
Note 4: PLL 3 dB bandwidth 12 kHz to N ×125 kHz for STM-N. Peaking and bandwidth depends on actual loop filter values.
Note 5: Valid for 78 MHz forward clocking. For 19 MHz forward clocking the setup and hold windows are delayed 9.6 ns.
Note 6: TRC19 is actually TRC + 9.6 ns.
