+3.3V, 2.5Gbps/2.7Gbps, SDH/SONET 4:1
Serializer with Clock Synthesis
General Description
The MAX3892 serializer is ideal for converting 4-bit-
wide, 622Mbps parallel data to 2.5Gbps serial data in
DWDM and SONET/SDH applications. A 4
✕
4-bit FIFO
allows for any static delay between the parallel output
clock and parallel input clock. Delay variation up to a
unit interval (UI) is allowed after reset. A fully integrated
phase-locked loop (PLL) synthesizes an internal
2.5GHz serial clock from a 622MHz, 155.5MHz,
77.8MHz, or 38.9MHz reference clock. A selectable
dual VCO allows excellent jitter performance at both
SONET and forward-error correction (FEC) data rates.
Operating from a single 3.3V supply, this device
accepts low-voltage differential-signal (LVDS) clock and
data inputs for interfacing with high-speed digital circuit-
ry, and delivers current-mode logic (CML) serial data
and clock outputs. A loopback data output is provided
to facilitate system diagnostic testing. The MAX3892 is
available in the extended temperature range (-40°C to
+85°C) in 44-pin QFN and TQFN packages.

Specifications at -40°C are guaranteed by design and characterization.
Measured with SLBO/CLK622 and SCLK outputs disabled and CML outputs open.
AC characteristics are guaranteed by design and characterization.
In 622MHz clock mode, the parallel data is clocked in by the rising edge of the 622MHz/666MHz parallel clock input. In the
311MHz clock mode, the parallel data is clocked in on both the rising and falling edges of the clock. The parallel input
setup and hold time increases by 60ps if the duty cycle is between 48% to 52% in 311MHz mode (Figure 1).
Relative to the falling edge of the SCLKO.
Measurement bandwidth is BW = 12kHz to 20MHz.
Measured with 00001111 pattern, RCLK to PCLKI/PDI[3:0] phase approximately 40ps. See the
Jitter Generation vs. RCLK to
PCLK/PDI[3:0] Phase
plot in the
Typical Operating Characteristics
section.
Deterministic jitter includes pattern-dependent jitter and pulse-width distortion. Measured using a 2
7
- 1 PRBS pattern with
96 consecutive identical digits.
