2.5 Gbit/s
16:1 Multiplexer
GD16523
General Information
The GD16523 is a multirate (STM 1/4/16
plus 1.25 Gbit/s bit-rates) 16:1 re-timing
multiplexer with jitter clean-up capability.
The data inputs are forward clocked into
a 2 bit elastic buffer enabling a very low
jitter transfer by using a double PLL sys-
tem.
The GD16523 tolerates up to 1.7 UI
PP
(155 MHz) jitter on the input data and for-
ward clock relative to the jitter output
clock.
Each of the PLLs has a separate
PCMOS lock- detect output.
The VCXO reference clock input is differ-
ential and the frequency is selectable
78 MHz or 155 MHz.
Data inputs are differential LVPECL in-
puts. 2.5 GHz clock and data outputs are
differential CML with internal 50
W
termi-
nations.
The GD16523 operates from a single
+3.3 V supply voltage using 800 mW
(typical).
The GD16523 is available in a 100 pin
TQFP package (14 × 14 mm) with a heat
slug on bottom surface.

Functional Details
The GD16523 multiplexes the 16 data in-
puts (DIP/N0-15) into a single data out-
put (DOUT) with DIP/N0 as the first bit to
be output and DIP/N15 as the last. The
data inputs are forward clocked by the
DCLK input. The data inputs are differen-
tial LVPECL type and the output is differ-
ential CML, driving 10 mA in a 50
W
load
connected to VCC.
In order to reduce jitter on the data out-
put a 2 bit elastic buffer combined with a
double PLL system has been imple-
mented. The first PLL consists of an ex-
ternal passive loop filter and an external
crystal VCO (VCXO). The centre fre-
quency of the external VCXO can be
selected to be in either range 150 -
169 MHz or 75 - 85 MHz by the XSEL
pin. The second PLL requires only a pas-
sive external loop filter consisting of a re-
sistor and a capacitor.
The jitter performance on the output of
the chip depends on three phase noise
contributing sources: the forward clock
(DCLK), the external VCO (VCXO) and
the internal VCO, see
Figure 1.
The out-
put noise is a combination of these three
curves. First the noise follows the DCLK
curve until the loop-bandwidth of LPF1
then the noise follows the curve of the
VCXO until the loop-bandwidth of LPF2,
and finally it follows the noise of the inter-
nal 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 jitter difference be-
tween the forward clock and output clock
may not exceed 1.7 UI
PP
(155 MHz). The
optimum bandwidth of PLL1 is therefore
the bandwidth where just below 1.7 UI
PP
of jitter is filtered away from the forward
clock.
The optimum loop bandwidth of PLL2 is
the frequency where the VCO curve
crosses the VCXO curve, see
Figure 1.
A no-lock detect output pin is available
for each PLL, indicating if the corre-
sponding PLL is out of 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 PLL2.
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.
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 ad-
justed according to the jitter on the
VCXO.

For noise and jitter reasons it is important
that the capacitor (C2) is connected to
VCCA close to the VCTL pin.

Biasing the Data Inputs
All the data inputs are biased internally
on the chip with the 5 kW resistive net-
work to VBB 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 be
AC-coupled as well.
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.
