CLC012 Adaptive Cable Equalizer for ITU-T G.703 Data Recovery November 2003 CLC012 Adaptive Cable Equalizer for ITU-T G.703 Data Recovery General Description National’s CLC012 adaptive cable equalizer is a low-cost monolithic solution for equalizing data transmitted over cable (or any media with similar dispersive loss characteristics). The CLC012 simplifies the task of high-speed data recovery with a one-chip solution and a minimal number of external components. The equalizer automatically adapts to equalize any cable length from zero meters to lengths that attenuate the signal by 40 dB at 200 MHz. This corresponds to 300 meters of Belden 8281 or 120 meters of Category 5 UTP (unshielded twisted pair). The CLC012 provides superior jitter performance: 180pspp for 270 Mbps data that has passed through 200 meters of Belden 8281 cable. This exceptional performance provides wide error margin in digital data links. The equalizer operates on a single supply with a power consumption of only 290 mW. The small 14-pin SOIC package allows for high-density placement of components for multi-channel applications such as routers. The equalizer operates over a wide range of data rates from less than 50 Mbps to rates in excess of 650 Mbps. The equalizer is flexible in allowing either single-ended or differential input drive. Its high common mode rejection provides excellent immunity to interference from noise sources. On-chip quantized feedback eliminates baseline wander. Additional features include a Loss of Signal output and an output mute pin which, when tied together, mute the output when no signal is present. A buffered eye monitor output is provided, for viewing the equalized signal prior to the comparator. Differential AEC pins allow the user to set the internal adaptive loop time constant with one external capacitor.

BLOCK DESCRIPTION The CLC012 is an adaptive equalizer that reconstructs serial digital data received from transmission lines such as coaxial cable or twisted pair. Its transfer function approximates the reciprocal of the cable loss characteristic. The block diagram in Figure 2 depicts the main signal conditioning blocks for equalizing digital data at the receiving end of a cable. The CLC012 receives baseband differential or single-ended digital signals at its inputs DI and DI. The Equalizer block is a two-stage adaptive filter. This filter is capable of equalizing cable lengths from zero meters to lengths that require 40 dB of boost at 200 MHz. The Quantized Feedback Comparator block receives the differential signals from the equalizer filter block. This block includes two comparators. The first comparator incorporates a self-biasing DC restore circuit. This is followed by a second high-speed comparator with output mute capability. The second comparator receives and slices the DC-restored data. Its outputs DO and DO are taken from the collectors of the output transistors. MUTE latches DO and DO when a TTL logic low level is applied. The Adaptive Servo Control block produces the signal for controlling the filter block, and outputs a voltage proportional to cable length. It receives differential signals from the output of the filter block and from the quantized-feedback comparator (QFBC) to develop the control signal. The servo loop response is controlled by an external capacitor placed across the AEC+ and AEC− pins. Its output voltage, as measured differentially across AEC+ and AEC−, is roughly proportional to the length of the transmission line. For Belden 8281 coaxial cable this differential voltage is about 1.5 mV/meter. Once this voltage exceeds 500 mV, no additional equalization is provided. The Loss of Signal (LOS) block monitors the signal power out of the equalizing filter and compares it to an internal reference to determine if a valid signal is present. A CMOS high output indicates that data is present. The output of LOS can be connected to the MUTE input to automatically latch the outputs (DO and DO), preventing random transitions when no data is present. The Output Eye Monitor (OEM) provides a single-ended buffered output for observing the equalized eye pattern. The OEM output is a low impedance high-speed voltage driver capable of driving an AC-coupled 100Ω load.

CLC012 Equalizer Application Circuit FIGURE 2. CLC012 Block Diagram www.national.com 8 CLC012 Operation DEVICE TESTING (Continued) Performance or compliancy testing of the CLC012 with Cable Clones is not allowed. Use of these devices is contrary to the product’s specifications and test procedures. Testing for product specifications or performance using cable clones is invalid since cable clones have a different frequency response than the actual cable. Testing with full length cable samples is recommended. Input Interfacing 10014524 The CLC012 accepts either differential or single-ended input voltage specified in Static Performance. The following sections show several suggestions for interfaces for the inputs and outputs of the CLC012. SINGLE-ENDED INPUT INTERFACE: 75Ω Coaxial Cable The input is connected single-ended to either DI or DI as shown in Figure 3. Balancing unused inputs helps to lessen the effects of noise. Use the equivalent termination of 37.4Ω to balance the input impedance seen by each pin. It also helps to terminate grounds at a common point. Resistors Rx and R y are recommended for optimum performance. The equalizer inputs are self-biasing. Signals should be AC coupled to the inputs as shown in Figure 3. FIGURE 4. Twisted Pair Input Interface Output Interfacing The outputs DO and DO produce ECL logic levels when the recommended output termination networks are used. The DO and DO pins are not complementary emitter coupled logic outputs. Instead, the outputs are taken off of the collectors of the transistors. Therefore, care must be taken to meet the interface threshold levels required by ECL families. Recommended interfaces for standard ECL families are shown in the following circuits. DIFFERENTIAL LOAD-TERMINATED OUTPUT INTERFACE Figure 5 shows a recommended circuit for implementing a differential output that is terminated at the load. A diode or 75Ω resistor provides a voltage drop from the positive supply (+5V for PECL or Ground for ECL operation) to establish proper ECL levels. The resistors terminate the cable to the characteristic impedance. The output voltage swing is determined by the CLC012 output current (10 mA) times the termination resistor. For the circuit in Figure 5, the nominal output voltage swing is 750 mV. 10014522 FIGURE 3. Single-Ended 75Ω Cable Input Interface DIFFERENTIAL INPUT INTERFACE: Twisted Pair A recommended differential input interface is shown in Figure 4. Proper voltage levels must be furnished to the input pins and the proper cable terminating impedance must be provided. For Category 5 UTP this is approximately 100Ω. Figure 4 shows a generalized network which may be used to receive data over a twisted pair. Resistors R1 and R2 provide the proper terminating impedance and signal level adjustment. The blocking capacitors provide AC coupling of the attenuated signal levels. The plots in the Typical Performance Characteristics section demonstrate various equalized data rates using Category 5 UTP at 100 meter lengths. A full schematic of a recommended driver and receiver circuit for 100Ω Category 5 UTP is provided in the Typical Applications section with further explanation. FIGURE 5. Differential Load Terminated Output Interface 10014525 9 www.national.com CLC012 Output Interfacing (Continued) Design Guidelines SELECTING THE AUTOMATIC EQUALIZER CAPACITOR The AEC capacitor sets the loop time constant τ for the equalizer’s adaptive loop response time. The following formula is used to set the loop time constant: τ = R • CAEC • 10 −6 R is a conversion factor that is set by internal equalizer parameters and cable length. For Belden 8281 coaxial cable, the R values are (τ = µs, CAEC in pF): Cable Length 100 meters 200 meters 300 meters R Value (Ohms) 15000 20000 32000 DIFFERENTIAL SOURCE-TERMINATED OUTPUT INTERFACE Figure 6 is similar to Figure 5 except that the termination is provided at the source. This configuration may also be used for single-ended applications. However, the unused output must still be terminated as shown. For example, a CAEC value of 100 pF results in an adaptive loop time constant of 2 µs at 200 meters of cable. CONNECTION AND OPERATION OF LOS AND MUTE Loss of Signal (LOS) is a CMOS output that indicates the presence of equalized data from the filter. This LOS output can be connected to MUTE to suspend changes in the data outputs DO and DO, if no valid signal exists. This simple configuration prevents random output transitions due to noise. For sparse transition patterns it is recommended that a capacitor be connected to LOS as shown in Figure 1. Add a capacitor to pin 5 to slow the response time of Loss of Signal when LOS is connected to MUTE. The capacitor reduces sensitivity to pathological patterns. Pathological patterns are defined as sparse data sequences with few transitions. OUTPUT EYE MONITOR OEM CONNECTIONS The OEM is a high-speed, buffered output for monitoring the equalized eye pattern prior to the output comparator. Its output is designed to drive an AC-coupled 50Ω coaxial cable with a series 50Ω backmatch resistor. The cable should be terminated with 50Ω at the oscilloscope. Figure 1 shows a schematic with a typical connection. MINIMUM DATA TRANSITIONS The CLC012 specifies a minimum transition rate. For the CLC012 this sets the minimum data rate for transmitting data through any cable medium. The CLC012 minimum average transition density is found in the Electrical Characteristics section of the datasheet. POWER SUPPLY OPERATION AND THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS The CLC012 operates from either +5V or −5.2V single supplies. Refer to Figure 1 when operating the part from +5V. When operating with a −5.2V supply, the VEE pins should be bypassed to ground. The evaluation board and associated literature provide for operation from either supply. Maximum power dissipation occurs at minimum cable length. Under that condition, ICC = 58 mA. Total power dissipated: PT = (58 mA)(5V) = 290 mW Power in the load: PL = (0.7V)(11 mA) + (37.5)(11 mA)2 = 12 mW Maximum power dissipated on the die: 10 10014526 FIGURE 6. Differential Source Terminated Output Interface TERMINATING PHYSICALLY SEPARATED OUTPUTS When the two outputs must be routed to physically separate locations, the circuit in Figure 6 may be applied. Alternatively, if load termination is desired, the circuit in Figure 7 may be used. The resistive divider network provides 75Ω termination and establishes proper ECL levels. This circuit consumes slightly more power than the previous circuits. 10014527 FIGURE 7. Alternative Load Terminated Output Interface www.national.com CLC012 Design Guidelines PDMAX = PT–PL = 278 mW (Continued) 4. 5. Route outputs away from inputs. Keep ground plane ≥ 0.025” (0.06mm) away from the input and output pads. Junction Temperature = (θJA)(278 mW) + TA = T A + 26˚C Layout and Measurement The printed circuit board layout for the CLC012 requires proper high-speed layout to achieve the performance specifications found in the datasheet. The following list contains a few rules to follow: 1. Use a ground plane. 2. Decouple power pins with 0.1 µF capacitors placed ≤ 0.1” (3mm) from the power pins. 3. Design transmission strip lines from the CLC012’s input and output pins to the board connectors. Figure 8 shows a block level measurement diagram, while Figure 15 on depicts a detailed schematic. A pseudo-random pattern generator with low output jitter was used to provide a NRZI pattern to create the eye diagrams shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. Since most pattern generators have a 50Ω output impedance, a translation can be accomplished using a CLC005 Cable Driver as an impedance transformer. A wide bandwidth oscilloscope is needed to observe the high data rate eye pattern. When monitoring a single output that is terminated at both the equalizer output and the oscilloscope, the effective output load is 37.4Ω. Consequently, the signal swing is half that observed for a single-ended 75Ω termination. 10014528 FIGURE 8. Typical Measurement Block Troubleshooting with scope probes can affect the equalization. For high data rates, use a low capacitance probe with less than 2 pF probe capacitance. Evaluation boards and literature are available for quick prototyping and evaluation of the CLC012 Adaptive Cable Equalizer. The CLC012 contains CMOS devices and operators should use grounding straps when handling the parts. Figure 9 shows the CLC012’s internal power supply routing. Bypass VCC (pin 4) by: • Monolithic capacitor of about 0.1 µF placed less than 0.1” (3mm) from the pin • Tantalum capacitor of about 6.8 µF for large current signal swings placed as close as convenient to the CLC012 10014529 FIGURE 9. Power Package Routing Fixture To minimize ringing at the CLC012’s inputs, place a 100Ω resistor in series with the input. This resistor reduces inductance effects. 11 www.national.com CLC012 Layout and Measurement (Continued) CABLE EMULATION BOXES Some cable emulation boxes will not mimic cables correctly. When evaluating the CLC012, it is strongly recommended that actual cable be used to determine the various performance parameters. Several layout techniques can improve high speed performance: • Keep input, output and AEC traces well separated • Use balanced input termination’s • Avoid routing traces close to the CLC012’s input trace • Maintain common return points for components • Use guard traces The input lines of the CLC012 use a 100Ω series resistors at the input pins. This decreases the inductive effects internal to the part to reduce ringing on fast rise and fall times. Refer to the evaluation board layout for further suggestions on layout for the CLC012 Adaptive Equalizer. EQUALIZATION CURVE The CLC012 Adaptive Cable Equalizer has a maximum equalization response as shown in Figure 10. This response may be obtained by forcing > 0.5V differentially at the AEC pins. Typical Applications COAXIAL CABLE RECEIVER (Page 1) The CLC012 equalizer application shown on page 1 will equalize a variety of coaxial cables up to lengths that attenuate the signal by 40 dB at 200 MHz. The application shows the proper connection for a single cable driven with a CLC005 driver. Loss of Signal (LOS) is connected to MUTE to latch outputs DO and DO in the absence of an input signal to the equalizer. Refer to the CLC012’s evaluation board layout for additional suggestions. National can supply most of the major components required to design a transmission line repeater. Figure 11 shows a typical repeater design using the CLC005, CLC012, and the CLC016. The design functions supported by each chip are: CLC005: Cable connection chip Boosts drive for transmission to next repeater or final destinations CLC012: Receive serialized digital data from incoming transmission lines Equalizes the incoming data CLC016: Retimes the equalized data (improving jitter) The CLC016 is a multi-rate data retiming PLL. The circuit (Figure 11) will work at up to 4 different data rates with no additional components or manual tuning. 10014530 FIGURE 10. Maximum Equalization Response www.national.com 12 CLC012 Typical Applications (Continued) 10014531 FIGURE 11. Typical Repeater Design DIGITAL VIDEO (SDV) ROUTERS The CLC012 provides performance that complies with the ITU-T G.703 standard for serial digital data transmission over coaxial cable. One common application is in routers, which provide a switching matrix for connecting source equipment to destination equipment. Figure 12 shows a typical configuration for a router, including equalizers, a crosspoint switch, data retimers, and cable drivers. The CLC012 is used in its standard configuration in this application, and automatically equalizes cable lengths from zero meters to greater than 300 meters at 360 MHz (see plots in Typical Performance Characteristics section). The equalized outputs are connected to the differential inputs of the crosspoint switch. The CLC016 Data Retimer receives the data from the crosspoint and performs the clock and data recovery functions, further reducing jitter. Finally, the retimed data is driven into the coaxial cable by a CLC005 ITU-T G.703 Cable Driver (with two amplitude-adjustable outputs). TWISTED PAIR DRIVER A low-cost medium for transmitting data is twisted pair. Category 5 UTP has an attenuation characteristic similar to Belden 8281 coaxial cable but scaled in length: 120 meters of Category 5 UTP is roughly equivalent to 300 meters of Belden 8281 cable. When properly implemented, the CLC012 will equalize data rates up to 625 Mbps over Category 5 UTP. The maximum data rate depends upon the cable length. A plot of Maximum Data Rate vs Cable Length is found in the Typical Performance Characteristics section for Belden 8281, and can be scaled as stated above to estimate maximum cable lengths and data rates for UTP. Category 5 UTP has a characteristic impedance of approximately 100Ω. The CLC005 in Figure 13 is used to drive the twisted pair AC-coupled with a series 0.1 µF capacitor and a 50Ω resistor in each differential output. The CLC012 Adaptive Equalizer requires 800 mVpp from the transmit side of the cable. A voltage divider is necessary to scale the voltage to the required level at the input of the CLC012. This resistor network also provides the correct impedance match for twisted pair. For Category 5 UTP, the approximate AEC voltage per length is 3.75 mV/m (see Block Description). The CLC005 provides a trim adjust for fine tuning the output signal with the resistor R. Refer to the CLC005 datasheet for tuning directions. 10014532 FIGURE 12.
