description
The TLK4250 device is a four-channel, multi-gigabit transceiver used in high-speed bidirectional point-to-point
data transmission systems. The four channels in the transceiver are configured as four separate links. The
transceiver supports an effective serial interface speed of 1.0 Gbps to 2.5 Gbps per channel, providing up to
2.25 Gbps of data bandwidth per channel.
The primary application of the transceiver is to provide high-speed I/O data channels for point-to-point baseband
data transmission over controlled impedance media of approximately 50 Ω. The transmission media can be a
printed-circuit board, copper cables, or fiber-optic cable. The maximum rate and distance of data transfer
depend on the attenuation characteristics of the media and the noise coupling to the environment.
The transceiver can also replace parallel data transmission architectures by providing a reduction in the number
of traces, connector pins, and transmit/receive pins. Parallel data loaded into the transmitter is delivered to the
receiver over a serial channel, which can be a coaxial copper cable, a controlled impedance backplane, or an
optical link. The data is then reconstructed into its original parallel format. It offers significant power and cost
savings over current solutions, as well as scalability for higher data rate in the future.
The transceiver performs the data parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel conversions. The clock extraction
functions as a physical layer interface device. The serial transceiver interface operates at a maximum data rate
of 2.5 Gbps. Each transmitter latches 18-bit parallel data at a rate based on the supplied reference clock
(GTx_CLK). The 18-bit parallel data is internally encoded into 20 bits by framing the 18-bit data with start and
stop bits. The resulting 20-bit frame is then transmitted differentially at 20 times the reference clock (GTx_CLK)
rate.
The receiver section performs the serial-to-parallel conversion on the input data, synchronizing the resulting
20-bit wide parallel data to the recovered clock (Rx_CLK). It then extracts the 18 bits of data from the 20-bit wide
data resulting in 18 bits of parallel data at the receive data terminals (RDx[0:17]). This results in an effective data
payload of 0.9 Gbps to 2.25 Gbps (18 bits data x GTx_CLK frequency) per channel.
The transceiver provides an internal loopback capability for self-test purposes. Serial data from the serializer
is passed directly to the deserializer, allowing the protocol device a functional self-check of the physical
interface.

The transceiver is designed to be hot plug capable. An on-chip power-on reset circuit holds the Rx_CLK low
during power up. This circuit also places the parallel side output signal terminals, DOUTTxP and DOUTTxN,
into a high-impedance state during power up.
The transceiver uses a 2.5-V supply. The I/O section is 3-V compatible. With the 2.5-V supply, the transceiver
is power efficient, consuming less than 1700 mW typically. The transceiver is characterized for operation from
−40°C to 85°C.

DESCRIPTION
Serial receive inputs. DINRxP and DINRxN together are the differential serial
inputs that interface from a copper or an optical I/F module.
Output
(high-z
power up)
Serial transmit outputs. DOUTTxP and DOUTTxN are differential serial outputs
that interface to copper or an optical I/F module. These terminals transmit NRZ
data at a rate of 20 times the GTx_CLK value. DOUTTxP and DOUTTxN are
put in a high-impedance state when LOOPENx is high and are active when
LOOPENx is low. During power-on reset these terminals are high impedance.
Input
(w/pullup)
Device enable. When this terminal is held low, the device is placed in
power-down mode. When asserted high while the device is in power-down
mode, the transceiver goes into power-on reset before beginning normal
operation.
Input
Reference clock. GTx_CLK is a continuous external input clock that
synchronizes the transmitter interface TDx. The frequency range of GTx_CLK
is 50 MHz to 125 MHz.
The transmitter uses the rising edge of this clock to register the 18-bit input
data (TDx) for serialization.
Input
(w/pulldown)
Fast synchronization. When asserted high, the transmitter substitutes the
18-bit pattern 111111111000000000 so that when the start/stop bits are framed
around the data, the receiver can immediately detect the proper deserialization
boundary. This is typically used during initialization of the serial link.
Input
(w/pulldown)
Loop enable. When LOOPENx is active high, the internal loop-back path is
activated. The transmitted serial data is directly routed internally to the inputs
of the receiver. This provides a self-test capability with the protocol device. The
DOUTTxP and DOUTTxN outputs are held in a high-impedance state during
the loop-back test. LOOPENx is held low during standard operational state
with external serial outputs and inputs active.
Output
Receiver lock. When this signal is asserted low, it indicates that the receiver
has acquired bit synchronization on the data stream and has located the
start/stop bits so that the deserialized data presented on the parallel receive
bus is properly received.
Input
Preemphasis. When asserted, the serial transmit outputs have extra output
swings on the first bit of any run length of save value bits. If the run length of
output bits is one, then that bit has larger output swings.

transmit interface
The transmitter portion registers valid incoming 18-bit-wide data (TDx[0:17]) on the rising edge of GTx_CLK.
The data is then framed with start and stop bits, serialized, and transmitted sequentially over the differential
high-speed I/O channel. The clock multiplier multiplies the reference clock (GTx_CLK) by a factor of 10, creating
a bit clock. This internal bit clock is fed to the parallel-to-serial shift register, which transmits data on both the
rising and falling edges of the bit clock providing a serial data rate that is 20 times the reference clock. Data is
transmitted LSB (TDx0) first.
transmit data bus
The transmit bus interface accepts 18-bit-wide, single-ended, TTL parallel data at the TDx[0:17] terminals. Data
is valid on the rising edge of GTx_CLK. The GTx_CLK is used as the word clock. The data and clock signals
must be properly aligned as shown in Figure 1. Detailed timing information can be found in the TTL input
electrical characteristics table.

transmission latency
The data transmission latency of the transceiver is defined as the delay from the initial 18-bit word on the parallel
transmit interface to the serial transmission of the start bit of the 20-bit frame containing the 18-bit word. The
transmit latency is fixed once the link is established. However, due to silicon process variations and
implementation variables, such as supply voltage and temperature, the exact delay varies slightly. Figure 2
illustrates the timing relationship between the transmit data bus, GTx_CLK, and the serial transmit terminals.

start/stop framing logic
All true serial interfaces require a method of encoding to ensure minimum transition density so that the receiving
PLL has a minimal number of transitions in which to stay locked onto the data stream. The signal encoding also
provides a mechanism for the receiver to identify the word boundary for correct deserialization. The TLK4250
transceiver wraps a start bit (1) and a stop bit (0) around the 18-bit data payload as shown in Figure 3. This is
transparent to the user, as the transceiver internally adds the framing bits to the data such that the user reads
and writes actual 18-bit data.

parallel-to-serial
The parallel-to-serial shift register takes in the 20-bit-wide frame multiplexed from the framing logic and converts
it to a serial stream. The shift register is clocked on both the rising and falling edges of the internally generated
bit clock, which is 10 times the GTx_CLK input frequency. The LSB (TDx0) is first out after the start bit as shown
in Figure 3.
high-speed data output
The high-speed data output driver consists of a PECL-compatible differential pair that can be optimized for a
particular transmission line impedance and length. The line can be directly coupled or ac coupled. See Figure 10
and Figure 11 for termination details. No external pullup or pulldown resistors are required.
The transceiver provides a selectable signal preemphasis option for driving lossy media. When signal
preemphasis is enabled, the first bit of a run length of same-value bits (e.g., 111...) is driven to a larger output
swing, which precompensates for signal inter-symbol interference (ISI) in lossy media, such as copper cables
or printed circuit board traces.

receive interface
The receiver portion of the TLK4250 accepts 20-bit framed differential serial data. The interpolator and clock
recovery circuit locks to the data stream and extracts the bit rate clock. This recovered clock retimes the input
data stream. The serial data is then aligned to the 20-bit frame by finding the start and stop bits and the 18-bit
data is output on a 18-bit wide parallel bus synchronized to the extracted receive clock (Rx_CLK).
receive data bus
The receive bus interface drives 18-bit-wide, single-ended, TTL parallel data at the RDx[0:17] terminals. Data
is valid on the rising edge of Rx_CLK. The Rx_CLK is used as the recovered word clock. The data and clock
signals are aligned as shown in Figure 4. Detailed timing information can be found in the TTL output switching

SWRS025C − APRIL 2004 − REVISED JULY 2007
synchronization mode
The deserializer must synchronize to the serializer in order to receive valid data. Synchronization can be
accomplished in one of two ways.
rapid synchronization
The serializer has the capability to send specific SYNC patterns consisting of 9 ones and 9 zeros, switching at
the input clock rate. The transmission of SYNC patterns enables the deserializer to lock to the serializer signal
within a deterministic time frame. The transmission of SYNC patterns is selected via the SYNC input on the
serializer. On receiving a valid SYNC pulse (wider than 6 clock cycles), 1026 cycles of SYNC pattern are sent.
When the deserializer detects edge transitions at the serial input, it attempts to lock to the embedded clock
information. The deserializer LOCKBx output remains inactive while its clock/data recovery (CDR) locks to the
incoming data or SYNC patterns present on the serial input. When the deserializer locks to the serial data, the
LOCKBx output goes active. When LOCKBx is active, the deserializer outputs represent incoming serial data.
One approach is to tie the deserializer LOCKBx output directly to the SYNCx input of the transmitter. This
ensures that enough SYNC patterns are sent to achieve deserializer lock.
random lock synchronization
The deserializer can attain lock to a data stream without requiring the serializer to send special SYNC patterns.
This allows the transceiver to operate in open-loop applications. Equally important is the deserializer’s ability
to support hot insertion into a running backplane. In the open-loop or hot-insertion case, it is assumed the data
stream is essentially random. Therefore, because lock time varies due to data stream characteristics, the exact
lock time cannot be predicted. The primary constraint on the random lock time is the initial phase relation
between the incoming data and the GTx_CLK when the deserializer powers up.
The data contained in the data stream can also affect lock time. If a specific pattern is repetitive, the deserializer
could enter false lock—falsely recognizing the data pattern as the start/stop bits. This is referred to as repetitive
multitransition (RMT). This occurs when more than one low-high transition takes place per clock cycle over
multiple clock cycles. In the worst case, the deserializer could become locked to the data pattern rather than
the clock. Circuitry within the deserializer can detect that the possibility of false lock exists. On detection, the
circuitry prevents the LOCKBx from becoming active until the potential false-lock pattern changes. Notice that
the RMT pattern only affects the deserializer lock time, and once the deserializer is in lock, the RMT pattern does
not affect the deserializer state as long as the same data boundary happens each cycle. The deserializer does
not go into lock until it finds a unique data boundary that consists of four consecutive cycles of data boundary
(start/stop bits) at the same position.
The deserializer stays in lock until it cannot detect the same data boundary (start/stop bits) for four consecutive
cycles. Then the deserializer goes out of lock and hunts for the new data boundary (start/stop bits). In the event
of loss of synchronization, the LOCKBx terminal output goes inactive and the outputs (including Rx_CLK) enter
a high-impedance state. The user’s system must monitor the LOCKBx terminal in order to detect a loss of
synchronization. On detection of loss of lock, sending SYNC patterns for resynchronization is desirable if
reestablishing lock within a specific time is critical. However, the deserializer can lock to random data as
previously noted. LOCKBx is held inactive for at least nine cycles after loss of lock is detected.
recommended power-up sequence
When powering up the device, it is recommended to first set the ENABLEx terminal low. Set the ENABLEx
terminal to high once sufficient time has passed to allow the power supply to stabilize.
power-down mode
When the ENABLEx terminal is deasserted low, the transceiver goes into a power-down mode. In the
power-down mode, the serial transmit terminals (DOUTTxP, DOUTTxN) and the receive data bus terminals
(RDx[0:17]) go into a high-impedance state.

reference clock input
The reference clock (GTx_CLK) is an external input clock that synchronizes the transmitter interface. The
reference clock is then multiplied in frequency 10 times to produce the internal serialization bit clock. The internal
serialization bit clock is frequency locked to the reference clock and clocks out the serial transmit data on both
its rising and falling edges, providing a serial data rate that is 20 times the reference clock.
The receiver tracking logic uses clock phases from the internal PLL as it aligns the recovered clock phase with
the incoming serial data stream; therefore, the input reference clock (GTX_CLK) is needed even if the transmit
function of the TLK4250 is not being used. The receiver function has the ability to track an incoming serial data
stream that is within ±200 ppm of the data rate that is set by GTX_CLK. This allows the use of clock sources
with ±100 ppm frequency tolerance.
operating frequency range
The transceiver may operate at a serial data rate between 1.0 Gbps to 2.5 Gbps. GTx_CLK must be within
±100 PPM of the desired parallel data rate clock. Each individual channel may operate at a different rate.
testability
The transceiver has a comprehensive suite of built-in self-tests. The loopback function provides for at-speed
testing of the transmit/receive portions of the circuitry. The ENABLEx terminal allows for all circuitry to be
disabled so that a quiescent current test can be performed.
loop-back testing
The transceiver can provide a self-test function by enabling (LOOPENx) the internal loop-back path. Enabling
this terminal causes serial transmitted data to be routed internally to the receiver. The parallel data output can
be compared to the parallel input data for functional verification. (The external differential output is held in a
high-impedance state during the loop-back testing.)
power-on reset
On application of minimum valid power, the transceiver generates a power-on reset. During the power-on reset,
the RDx terminals are 3-stated and Rx_CLK is held low. The length of the power-on reset cycle depends on the
GTx_CLK frequency, but is less than 1 ms in duration.
