Replacing the CLC016 Reclocker with the LMH0026 Replacing the CLC016 Reclocker with the LMH0026 National Semiconductor Application Note 2004 Gary Melchior October 13, 2009 Introduction The LMH0026 SD-SDI reclocker can replace the CLC016 reclocker in many applications. The LMH0026 and CLC016 are both reclockers designed to recover and retime data, primarily for the SMPTE 259M interface. Both reclockers are rated for industrial temperature range operation (-40°C to +85°C). The LMH0026, the newer generation SDI reclocker, has advanced features and is pin compatible with the LMH0046 HDSDI reclocker and the LMH0346 3G-SDI reclocker. This allows a forward migration path from SD to HD to 3G. The LMH0026 offers improved performance and extremely low output jitter (half the output jitter of the CLC016 at 270 Mbps). The LMH0026 also offers a lower supply voltage (3.3V), enabling system designers to migrate to lower-power designs. The LMH0026 provides a 37% power savings over the CLC016, with typical power of 330 mW in comparison with 525 mW for the CLC016. Table 1 shows the key differences between the CLC016 and LMH0026. TABLE 1. CLC016 and LMH0026 Key Differences CLC016 Power Supply (VCC) Package Data Rates Output Jitter ESD Rating Input Interface Output Structure Loop Filter Rate Selection Other Features 5.0V 28-pin PLCC or TSSOP 40 to 400 Mbps 150 psP-P LMH0026 3.3V 20-pin e-TSSOP 270 Mbps 74 psP-P ≥±2 kV HBM 2.5V to 5.0V common mode Open collector, requires external 75Ω pullups to 5V Three Components: 0.1 µF capacitor, 82 pF capacitor, 500Ω resistor Four selectable rates, auto or manual rate select Carrier detect 3. ≥±7 kV HBM 1.2V to 3.3V common mode CML with internal 50Ω pullups (to 3.3V) Single 56 nF capacitor Single 270 Mbps rate operation, automatically bypasses other rates Bypass/Auto Bypass, choice of 2nd reclocked data output or clock Removed the 75Ω pullups on the output and replace with a 100Ω differential termination located at the input of the next stage. The outputs may also be AC coupled, but no pullups are required. 4. Change the loop filter circuit to a single 56 nF capacitor between LF1 and LF2. 5. Add a 27 MHz crystal or suitable external clock reference. Connect the crystal between the XTAL IN/ EXT CLK and XTAL OUT pins along with the 39 pF capacitors as shown in the typical application in the datasheet, or simply connect the 27 MHz external clock to the XTAL IN/EXT CLK pin. Figure 1 shows the typical application for the CLC016, and Figure 2 shows the typical application for the LMH0026. How To Replace the CLC016 with the LMH0026 Replacing the CLC016 with the LMH0026 requires a few simple steps. The device packages and pinouts are quite different so this change requires a new PCB layout. To replace the CLC016 with the LMH0026, follow these steps: 1. Change the power supply from 5V to 3.3V. 2. Replace the input termination with a single 100Ω differential termination, located close to the LMH0026 input pins. Check the output common mode voltage of the driving device to determine if it is compatible with the LMH0026 input common mode range—if not, add AC coupling capacitors in series with the input, prior to the 100Ω termination.

LMH0026 Typical Application INPUT INTERFACE The input common mode voltage range of the CLC016 is between 2.5V and VCC (5V), and the minimum differential input amplitude is 200 mV. When the CLC016 input is driven by an equalizer such as the CLC014 (with its open collector output), the CLC016 input interface will typically consist of 75Ω pullups to VCC, as shown in Figure 1. The LMH0026 input interface is similar to that of the CLC016, but better suited for interfacing to the 3.3V and lower supply voltages of current generation devices. The input common mode voltage range of the LMH0026 is from 1.2V to VCC www.national.com 2 (3.3V), with the same minimum differential input amplitude as the CLC016. This input common mode voltage range allows DC coupling to many 3.3V and 2.5V devices. OUTPUT INTERFACE The CLC016 outputs are open collector and require 75Ω pullups to 5V to generate an output voltage. This structure has some limitations when interfacing to non-5V systems. The CLC016 outputs are essentially cut off if the SDO output voltage drops below VCC-1.6V (typically 3.4V), so this prevents DC-coupling to other 3.3V devices. AN-2004 The LMH0026 provides much more flexibility. The LMH0026 outputs are CML with internal 50Ω pullups to 3.3V. They may be DC coupled to many more types of inputs, including the LMH0001 cable driver. Typically only a far-end differential termination (a simple resistor) is required. If the LMH0026 output common mode voltage is not compatible with the input common mode voltage of the receiving device, the outputs may be AC coupled. The outputs do not require pullups to VCC. LOOP FILTER The CLC016 external loop filter circuit typically consists of a 1.0 µF capacitor, an 82 pF capacitor, and a 500Ω resistor. These components define the overall jitter transfer function and control the acquisition performance of the PLL, and may be changed to affect these parameters. For the LMH0026, the external loop filter should consist of a single 56 nF capacitor only. The LMH0026 loop filter was designed and optimized for a 56 nF capacitor and it should not be changed. RATE SELECTION The CLC016 can be configured to recognize up to four different data rates (between 40 Mbps and 400 Mbps) using external resistors, and can further be set to automatically detect between these four rates or manually configured for the desired rate. The LMH0026 supports a single 270 Mbps data rate, and bypasses other data rates up to 1.5 Gbps. The LMH0026 also requires an external 27 MHz reference clock (crystal or suitable external reference) which is not necessary for the CLC016, but this allows for its superior performance: the LMH0026 has typical output jitter of 0.02 UI at 270 Mbps (with 0.2 UI input jitter) vs. typical output jitter of 0.04 UI at 270 Mbps for the CLC016. OTHER FEATURES The CLC016 includes an input Carrier Detect (CD) signal to indicate the presence of transitions at the input. In typical CLC016 applications, CD is tied to MUTE to latch the output when no input signal is present. The LMH0026 does not provide an input carrier detector, but it does provide a robust LOCK DETECT signal to indicate that data is being received and the PLL is locked. LOCK DETECT may be connected to OUTPUT MUTE to mute the data and clock outputs when no valid data is being received. The LMH0026 includes advanced features not present in the CLC016. The LMH0026 includes a BYPASS/AUTO BYPASS function which can be used to either force the reclocker to output all data without reclocking it, or automatically bypass only unsupported data rates while reclocking 270 Mbps data. The LMH0026 also provides the option of either a second reclocked data output or the serial data rate clock (the CLC016 only provides the clock and has no option for a second data output). LMH0026 Enhancements over the CLC016 The LMH0026 is a solid upgrade and good replacement for the CLC016. It is designed in a newer, more advanced process. The LMH0026 offers lower power, lower jitter, better ESD protection, a more flexible output interface, and new features such as a reclocker bypass and a second reclocked data output. The LMH0026’s smaller, space-saving package allows for more compact designs. The PCB layout is simpler as the LMH0026 requires less PCB components overall than the CLC016. In addition, the LMH0026’s pin compatibility with HD-SDI and 3G-SDI equalizers offers an easy upgrade path and allows future-proof designs. 3 www.national.com Replacing the CLC016 Reclocker with the LMH0026 Notes For more National Semiconductor product information and proven design tools, visit the following Web sites at: Products Amplifiers Audio Clock and Timing Data Converters Interface LVDS Power Management Switching Regulators LDOs LED Lighting Voltage Reference PowerWise® Solutions Temperature Sensors Wireless (PLL/VCO) www.national.com/amplifiers www.national.com/audio www.national.com/timing www.national.com/adc www.national.com/interface www.national.com/lvds www.national.com/power www.national.com/switchers www.national.com/ldo www.national.com/led www.national.com/vref www.national.com/powerwise WEBENCH® Tools App Notes Reference Designs Samples Eval Boards Packaging Green Compliance Distributors Quality and Reliability Feedback/Support Design Made Easy Solutions Mil/Aero PowerWise® Design University Design Support www.national.com/webench www.national.com/appnotes www.national.com/refdesigns www.national.com/samples www.national.com/evalboards www.national.com/packaging www.national.com/quality/green www.national.com/contacts www.national.com/quality www.national.com/feedback www.national.com/easy www.national.com/solutions www.national.com/milaero www.national.com/solarmagic www.national.com/training Serial Digital Interface (SDI) www.national.com/sdi www.national.com/wireless www.national.com/tempsensors SolarMagic™ THE CONTENTS OF THIS DOCUMENT ARE PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION (“NATIONAL”) PRODUCTS.
