The Si5018 is a fully-integrated low-power clock and data recovery (CDR)
IC designed for high-speed serial communication systems. It extracts
timing information and data from a serial input at OC-48/STM-16 data
rates. In addition, support for 2.7 Gbps data streams is also provided for
applications that employ forward error correction (FEC). DSPLL™
technology eliminates sensitive noise entry points thus making the PLL
less susceptible to board-level interaction and helping to ensure optimal
jitter performance.
The Si5018 represents a new standard in low jitter, low power, and small
size for high speed CDRs. It operates from a single 2.5 V supply over the
industrial temperature range (–40 to 85 °C).

4. Functional Description
The Si5018 utilizes a phase-locked loop (PLL) to
recover a clock synchronous to the input data stream.
This clock is used to retime the data, and both the
recovered clock and data are output synchronously via
current mode logic (CML) drivers. Optimal jitter
performance is obtained by using Silicon Laboratories'
DSPLL™ technology to eliminate the noise entry points
caused by external PLL loop filter components.
4.1. DSPLL™
The phase-locked loop structure (shown in "Typical
Application Schematic‚" on page 9) utilizes Silicon
Laboratories' DSPLL™ technology to eliminate the
need for external loop filter components found in
traditional PLL implementations. This is achieved by
using a digital signal processing (DSP) algorithm to
replace the loop filter commonly found in analog PLL
designs. This algorithm processes the phase detector
error term and generates a digital control value to adjust
the frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO).
Because external loop filter components are not
required, sensitive noise entry points are eliminated
thus making the DSPLL less susceptible to board-level
noise sources that make SONET/SDH jitter compliance
difficult to attain.
no activity exists on REFCLK, indicating the lock status
of the PLL is unknown. Additionally, the Si5018 uses the
reference clock to center the VCO output frequency at
the OC-48/STM-16 data rate. The device will selfconfigure for operation with one of three reference clock
frequencies. This eliminates the need to externally
configure the device to operate with a particular
reference clock.
The reference clock centers the VCO for a nominal
output between 2.488 GHz and 2.7 GHz. The VCO
frequency is centered at 16, 32, or 128 times the
reference clock frequency. Detection circuitry
continuously monitors the reference clock input to
determine whether the device should be configured for
a reference clock that is 1/16, 1/32, or 1/128 the
nominal VCO output. Approximate reference clock
frequencies are given in Table 7.

4.2. PLL Self-Calibration
4.4. Forward Error Correction (FEC)
The Si5018 achieves optimal jitter performance by
using self-calibration circuitry to set the loop gain
parameters within the DSPLL. For the self-calibration
circuitry to operate correctly, the power supply voltage
must exceed 2.25 V when calibration occurs. For best
performance, the user should force a self-calibration
once the supply has stabilized on powerup.
The Si5018 supports FEC in SONET OC-48 (SDH
STM-16) applications for data rates up to 2.7 Gbps. In
FEC applications, the appropriate reference clock
frequency is determined by dividing the input data rate
by 16, 32, or 128. For example, if an FEC code is used
that produces a 2.7 Gbps data rate, the required
reference clock would be 168.75 MHz, 84.375 MHz, or
21.09 MHz.
A self-calibration can be initiated by forcing a high-tolow transition on the power-down control input,
PWRDN/CAL, while a valid reference clock is supplied
to the REFCLK input. The PWRDN/CAL input should be
held high at least 1 μs before transitioning low to
guarantee a self-calibration. Several application circuits
that could be used to initiate a power-on self-calibration
are provided in Silicon Laboratories’ “AN42: Controlling
DSPLL™ Self-Calibration for the Si5020/5018/5010
CDR Devices and Si531x Clock Multiplier/Regenerator
Devices.”

The Si5018 CDR requires an external reference clock
applied to the REFCLK input for normal device
operation. When REFCLK is absent, the LOL alarm will
always be asserted when it has been determined that

4.5. Lock Detect
The Si5018 provides lock-detect circuitry that indicates
whether the PLL has achieved frequency lock with the
incoming data. The circuit compares the frequency of a
divided-down version of the recovered clock with the
frequency of the applied reference clock (REFCLK). If
the recovered clock frequency deviates from that of the
reference clock by the amount specified in Table 4 on
page 7, the PLL is declared out of lock, and the loss-oflock (LOL) pin is asserted high. In this state, the PLL will
Reference
Clock Detect
periodically try to reacquire lock with the incoming data
stream. During reacquisition, the recovered clock may
drift over a ±600 ppm range relative to the applied
reference clock, and the LOL output alarm may toggle
until the PLL has reacquired frequency lock. Due to the
Rev. 1.3
Si5018
low noise and stability of the DSPLL, under the
condition where data is removed from the inputs, there
is the possibility that the PLL will not drift enough to
render an out-of-lock condition.

If REFCLK is removed, the LOL output alarm is always

Bellcore/ITU mask shown in Figure 4. This mask
defines the level of peak-to-peak sinusoid jitter that
must be tolerated when applied to the differential data

4.6.2. Jitter Transfer
The Si5018 is fully compliant with the relevant Bellcore/
ITU specifications related to SONET/SDH jitter transfer.
Jitter transfer is defined as the ratio of output signal jitter
to input signal jitter as a function of jitter frequency (see
Figure 5). These measurements are made with an input
test signal that is degraded with sinusoidal jitter whose
magnitude is defined by the mask in Figure 4.

Si5018 generates less than 3.0 mUIrms of jitter when
presented with jitter free input data.

4.7. Powerdown
The Si5018 provides a powerdown pin, PWRDN/CAL,
that disables the output drivers (DOUT, CLKOUT).
When the PWRDN/CAL pin is driven high, the positive
and negative terminals of CLKOUT and DOUT are each
tied to VDD through 100 Ω on-chip resistors. This
feature is useful in reducing power consumption in
applications that employ redundant serial channels.
When PWRDN/CAL is released (set to low) the digital
logic resets to a known initial condition, recalibrates the
DSPLL, and will begin to lock to the data stream.
4.8. Device Grounding
The Si5018 uses the GND pad on the bottom of the 20-
Rev. 1.3
11
Si5018
pin micro leaded package (MLP) for device ground. This
pad should be connected directly to the analog supply
ground. See Figures 10 and 11 for the ground (GND)
pad location.
4.9. Bias Generation Circuitry
The Si5018 makes use of an external resistor to set
internal bias currents. The external resistor allows
precise generation of bias currents which significantly
reduces power consumption versus traditional
implementations that use an internal resistor. The bias
generation circuitry requires a 10 kΩ (1%) resistor
connected between REXT and GND.
4.10. Differential Input Circuitry
The Si5018 provides differential inputs for both the high
speed data (DIN) and the reference clock (REFCLK)
inputs. An example termination for these inputs is
shown in Figure 6. In applications where direct dc
coupling is possible, the 0.1 μF capacitors may be
omitted. The DIN and REFCLK input amplifiers require
an input signal with a minimum differential peak-to-peak
voltage listed in Table 2 on page 6.

coupling is possible, the 0.1 μF capacitors may be omitted. The differential peak-to-peak voltage swing of the CML

Differential Data Output.
The data output signal is a retimed version of the
data recovered from the signal present on DIN. It is
phase aligned with CLKOUT and is updated on the
rising edge of CLKOUT.
External Bias Resistor.
This resistor is used by onboard circuitry to establish bias currents within the device. This pin must
be connected to GND through a 10 kΩ (1%) resistor.

Powerdown.
To shut down the high-speed outputs and reduce
power consumption, hold this pin high. For normal
operation, hold this pin low.
Calibration.
To initiate an internal self-calibration, force a highto-low transition on this pin. (See "PLL Self-Calibration‚" on page 10.)
Note: This input has a weak internal pulldown.

Differential Clock Output.
The output clock is recovered from the data signal
present on DIN. In the absence of data, the output
clock is derived from REFCLK.

Notes:
1. All dimensions listed are in millimeters (mm).
2. The perimeter pads are to be Non-Solder Mask Defined (NSMD). Solder mask openings should be designed to leave 60-75 mm
separation between solder mask and pad metal, all the way around the pad.
3. The center thermal pad is to be Solder Mask Defined (SMD).
4. Thermal/Ground vias placed in the center pad should be no less than 0.2 mm (8 mil) diameter and tented from the top to prevent
solder from flowing into the via hole.
5. The stencil aperture should match the pad size (1:1 ratio) for the perimeter pads. A 3x3 array of 0.5 mm square stencil openings, on a
0.65 mm pitch, should be used for the center thermal pad.
6. A stencil thickness of 5 mil is recommended. The stencil should be laser cut and electropolished, with trapezoidal walls to facilitate
paste release.
7. A “No-Clean”, Type 3 solder paste should be used for assembly. Nitrogen purge during reflow is recommended.
8. Do not place any signal or power plane vias in these “keep out” regions.
9. Suggest four 0.38 mm (15 mil) vias to the ground plane.
