2.5 Gbit/s
16:1 Multiplexer
GD16523
Preliminary
General Information
The GD16523 multiplexes sixteen data
inputs into a single data output, the bit
rates of the inputs are selectable (see
table below).
The data inputs are forward clocked by
the differential input (DCLKP / DCLKN).
The GD16523 tolerates up to 1.7 UI
PP
(155 MHz) jitter on the input data and for-
ward clock.
A double PLL system combined with an
elastic buffer ensures low output jitter.
Each PLL has a separate PCMOS lock-
detect output.

Functional Details
The GD16523 multiplexes the sixteen
data inputs (DIP/N0-15) into a single
data output (DOUT) with DIP/N0 as the
first bit to be output and DIP/N15 as the
last. The data inputs are differential
LVPECL type and the output is differen-
tial CML, driving 10 mA in a 50
Ω
load
connected to VCC. Furthermore the input
data is forward clocked by the DCLK
input.
To reduce noise on the output to a mini-
mum a double PLL system has been im-
plemented. The first PLL in addition to a
passive loop filter requires an external
crystal VCO (VCXO). The centre fre-
quency of the VCXI input which is driven
by the external VCXO can be selected to
be in either range 143 - 163 MHz or 72 -
81 MHz by the XSEL pin. The second
PLL requires only a passive external loop
filter typically consisting of a resistor and
a capacitor.
The noise performance on the output of
the chip depends on three noise generat-
ing sources, the forward clock (DCLK),
the external VCO (VCXO) and the inter-
nal VCO, see
Figure 1.
The output noise
is a combination of theese three curves.
First the noise follows the DCLK curve
until the loop-bandwidth of LPF1 then the
noise follows the curve of VCXO until the
loop-bandwidth of LPF2, and finally it fol-
lows the noise of the internal VCO, see
Figure 2.
Above the PLL1 loop-filter frequency the
noise performance is determined by the
VCXO therefore the PLL1 loop-filter fre-
quency should be set as low as possible.
At the same time the the jitter on the for-
ward clock integrated at frequencies
above the PLL1 loop-filter frequency may
not exceed 1.7 UI
PP
(155 MHz). The opti-
mum PLL1 loop bandwidth is therefore
the frequency above which the integrated
noise is just below 1.7 UI
PP
(155 MHz).
The optimum loop bandwidth of PLL2 is
the frequency where the VCO curve
crosses the VCXO curve, see
Figure 1.
A PCMOS lock detect output pin is avail-
able for each PLL, indicating if the corre-
sponding PLL is in lock. To enable this
function a 5 - 10 nF capacitor should be
connected to each of the NLDC pins.
This capacitor filters the NLDET signal
generated internally by XORing the two
signals going to the PFD and putting this
through a charge pump to the NLDC pin.
This filtering enables the NLOCK pin to
go low when the corresponding PLL is in
lock and high when out of lock.
A high level on the CSEL input bypasses
the PLL1 so that the write signal to the
elastic buffer goes directly to the PFD2. It
also bypasses the divider between the
Clock Generator and the PFD2. Note that
changing the bit rate in this mode
changes the loop-bandwidth of the PPL2.
The auxillary output SLBOP/SLBON is a
second data output to accommodate
near-end loop back. To save power in
normal operation and reduce noise in the
receiver the output can be turned off by
setting LSEL low.
The two bit rate select signals BRS1 and
BRS0 select the bit rate of the chip.

Application Details
PLL Loop Filters
The loop filters can be made as shown in
Figure 3.
The values in
Figure 3
are the
same as used in the production test sets.
For optimal jitter performance the values
of LPF1 should be adjusted according to
the jitter on the input data and the values
for LPF2 should be adjusted according to
the jitter on the VCXO.

For noise and jitter reasons it is important

Biasing the Data Inputs
All the data inputs are biased internally
on the chip with the resistive network as
shown in
Figure 4 .
The data inputs can be used both differ-
ential and single-ended without any ex-
ternal pull-ups/downs and can also be
AC-coupled.
The VBB input may be shorted to the
VBBS output and de-copled with at least
one external capacitor on either pin 23 or
61.
