SY58627L
DC-to-6.4Gbps Backplane Receive Buffer with
Four Stage Programmable Equalization
and DC-Offset Control
General Description
The SY58627L high-speed, low jitter receive buffer is
optimized for backplane and transmission line data-path
management applications. The SY58627L is capable of
receiving serial data up to 6.4Gbps across up to 36
inches of FR4.
The SY58627L differential input includes Micrel’s
unique, 3-pin input termination architecture that directly
interfaces to any differential signal as small as 100mVpk
(AC- or DC-coupled) without any termination resistor
networks in the signal path. The outputs are 50Ω
source-terminated CML optimized to drive 400mVpk into
50Ω (100Ω load across the output pair). The I/O
termination is connected to a dedicated VTT pin for
added bias flexibility.
The SY58627L receiver input provides four levels of
equalization to compensate for degraded signals
resulting from transmission losses. The equalization is
programmed with a three-bit interface.
The SY58627L operates at 3.3V ±10% supply and is
guaranteed over the full industrial temperature range of
-40°C to +85°C. The SY58627L is part of Micrel’s high®
speed, Precision Edge product line.

Pin Name
Pin Function
RXIN, /RXIN
Differential receiver input pair: This input pair is the differential signal input to the
device. It accepts AC- or DC-coupled signals as small as 100mV (200mVPP). The
signal detect (SD Level) includes a small amount of hysteresis to prevent the signal
detect output from oscillating when no signal is present. RXIN and /RXIN internally
terminate to the VTTIN pin through 50Ω. Please refer to the “Input Interface
Applications” section for more details. RXIN, /RXIN differential inputs recommended
be ≥ 90mVPK to ensure valid outputs. Consider disabling the outputs when the
differential input is not present, or < 90mVPK (e.g.: Hot Swap Applications).
VTTIN
Input termination center-tap: RXIN and /RXIN terminate to VTTIN. The VTTIN pin
provides a center-tap to the internal termination network for maximum interface
flexibility, and DC-offset capability. Please refer to the “Input Interface Applications”
section for more details.
VREF-AC
Reference voltage: This output biases to VCC-0.84V. It is used for AC-coupling the
input pair (RXIN, /RXIN). Connect VREF-AC directly to the VTTIN pin. Bypass with
0.01µF low ESR capacitor to VCC. Maximum sink/source current is ±1.5mA. Due to
the limited drive capability, the VREF-AC pin is only intended to drive the VTTIN pin.
Leave VREF-AC pin floating when not used. Please refer to the “Input Interface
Applications” section for more details.
VTH
Input logic threshold control voltage for logic control threshold settings other than
LVTTL/CMOS. This input control pin can be externally biased to set the proper
threshold for all the logic control pins, /RXEN, LBSEL, 3-bit equalization control, and
/RXLBEN. For standard LVTTL/CMOS control, simply leave the VTH pin floating
and the threshold voltage defaults to VCC/2 (When VEE = 0V). For LVPECL
thresholds, set VTH to VCC-1.3V.
/RXEN
TTL/CMOS (or VTH controlled) compatible control input for the RXQ output pair.
When pulled HIGH, the RXQ output pair is disabled. This input is internally
connected to a 25kΩ pull-down resistor and will default to a logic LOW state
(Enable) if left open. When disabled, the RXQ output goes LOW, and /RXQ output
goes HIGH. Default threshold is VCC/2 when VTH pin is floating.
/RXLBEN
TTL/CMOS (or VTH controlled) compatible control input for RXLBQ output pair.
When pulled HIGH, the RXLBQ output pair is disabled. This input is internally
connected to a 25kΩ pull-down resistor and will default to a logic LOW state
(Enable) if left open. When disabled, the RXLBQ output goes LOW, and /RXLBQ
output goes HIGH. Default threshold is VCC/2 when VTH pin is floating. In normal
operating mode when the RXLBQ output pair is not needed, disable the RXLBQ
output pair (/RXLBEN = HIGH) to minimize noise.
LBSEL
TXLBIN,
/TXLBIN
Loopback MUX select control: The TTL/CMOS (or VTH controlled) compatible input
selects the input to the Loopback mode multiplexer. When LBSEL input is logic
HIGH, Loopback mode is selected, and the TXLBIN input pair is selected to pass
through the RXQ and RXLBQ output pairs. Note that the LBSEL pin is internally
connected to a 25kΩ pull-down resistor and will default to a logic LOW state if left
open (normal operation). The Loopback MUX includes internal input isolation to
minimize crosstalk.
Loopback differential input pair: AC-coupled, CML-compatible input. This input pair
includes internal termination connected to an internal VBB for an AC-coupled bias
configuration. For local Loopback operation, the TXLBIN input pair receives a signal
from the SY58626L transmitter TXLBQ output pair. The input signal from TXLBIN
does not have any equalization. When the SY58627L Loopback mode is selected
(LBSEL = HIGH), the signal at TXLBIN is directed to the RXQ and RXLBQ output
pairs.

Pin Name
Pin Function
Receiver loopback CML compatible output pair. When the SY58627L is in local
Loopback mode (LBSEL = 1), RXLBQ output is directed from TXLBIN (no
equalization). When the SY58627L is in normal mode (LBSEL = LOW) and the
RXLBQ output is not required, disable the RXLBQ output (/RXLBEN = HIGH) to
minimize switching noise. This differential output pair is optimized to drive 400mVPK
swing into a 50Ω load (100Ω across the pair). The RXLBQ output pair includes 50Ω
internal source termination resistors.
RXLBQ,
/RXLBQ
Receiver differential CML compatible output pair: This CML-compatible output pair is
the equalized signal seen at the RXIN input pair and is optimized to drive 400mVPK
swing into a 50Ω load (100Ω across the pair). The RXQ output pair includes 50Ω
internal source termination resistors. When the SY58627L is in Loopback mode
(LBSEL = HIGH), the RXQ output signal is directed from the unequalized TXLBIN
input.
RXQ,
/RXQ
Loss-of-Signal output. This LVTTL/CMOS output signal switches LOW when the
signal is valid and switches HIGH when the signal is not valid. This open-collector
output includes an internal 5kΩ pull-up resistor.
Input signal valid, LOS = LOW, RXIN swing is >110mVPK (220mVPP).
Input signal not valid, LOS = HIGH, RXIN swing is 100mV; TA = 25°C, RL = 100Ω across output pair; unless otherwise stated.
