Preliminary Specifications
M831 Series
9.953 Gbit OC-192 Clock & Data Recovery Receiver Module
DESCRIPTION
The M831 Series is specifically designed to
regenerate the spectral component from an in-
coming NRZ data stream and output a low-jitter
clock and retimed complementary data.
The module utilizes a phase-lock loop architecture
incorporating a high-stability, low noise SAW VCO
to provide extremely low jitter clock and data
outputs. The incoming data is frequency doubled to
recover the clock component. The clock signal is
then filtered by a microwave band pass filter to
remove wide band noise and spurious signals. This
signal is further filtered using the wide band SAW
VCO based PLL to minimize the noise close to the
carrier. The low jitter clock is then used to retime
the data and serves as the module’s clock output.
The module provides user controlled clock phase
shifter and output data crossover adjustments to
optimize system performance.
PLL lock-in range and loop transfer characteristics
are optimized for minimal jitter in accordance with
ITU and Bellcore standards for SONET/SDH
systems.

Preliminary Specifications
The MNC clock and data recovery module has a SAW
VCO based phase-lock loop architecture. The
1.244GHz fundamental VCO is implemented as a
transmission oscillator. The oscillator loop includes
the SAW resonator that has a linear phase with
frequency characteristic, a linear voltage controlled
phase shifter, loop amplifier, and power divider to
couple signal from the loop. The oscillator is
frequency doubled to 2.488GHz and band pass
filtered. The 2.488GHz is then multiplied by four to the
final frequency of 9.953GHz. The output of the VCO is
power divided to provide an input to the phase
detector and a clock signal.
The input data is power divided to provide inputs to
the decision circuit and the clock recovery circuitry.
The input to the clock recovery circuit is amplified and
applied to an analog frequency doubler to extract a
clock spectral component from NRZ data input
stream. The 9.953GHz doubler output is band pass
filtered and amplified.
One VCO output and the clock extracted from the
input data serve as inputs to a microwave phase
detector. The phase detector output is applied to an
integrator circuit. The integrator output controls the
phase shifter in the SAW VCO, completing the phase-
locked loop. The phase-locked loop causes the low
noise VCO output to be phase locked to the clock
signal extracted from the NRZ input data, providing a
low jitter clock signal.
The clock signal is applied to a phase shifter that
allows the timing between the input data and clock to
be adjusted for optimum performance. The phase
shifter output is amplified and band pass filtered to
provide a low jitter and low spurious clock. The clock
is power divided to provide the clock output of the
module and the clock input to the decision circuit.
The decision circuit is a high speed D flip-flop. In
addition to the clock and data inputs, a user
adjustable decision threshold voltage is available. This
voltage is used to optimize the retimed data. The CDR
threshold and phase shifter do not require adjustment
over the temperature and input data level ranges.
The clock output of the CDR is a low spurious
sinusoidal signal and the complementary data outputs
are AC coupled ECL signals. DC coupled ECL
compatible data outputs are available.
