DESCRIPTION
phshft
Fig. 1. Functional Block Diagram
ASNT8160C-KMF is a half-rate integrated clock recovery (CR) circuit. The IC shown in Fig. 1 functions
in the CR mode covering a wide range of input data rates (fbit) by utilizing its three on-chip VCOs
(voltage-controlled oscillators). Selection of the desired working data rate and mode is accomplished
through pins vcos0 and vcos1 (see Table 1). An external low speed system clock c32p/c32n running at
1/32 the frequency of the active VCO must be applied to the low-speed LVDS clock input buffer (CLK
IB) for the IC to work properly.
The main function of the chip is to recover from an NRZ input data signal dp/dn with a bit rate of fbit
accepted by CML buffer (Data IB) a half-rate clock c2p/c2n that is delivered to the output by the CML
clock output buffer (COB). For example, a 30GHz clock signal will be generated from a 60Gb/s input
data signal. The signal phshft is used to properly set the phase of the internal clock.
Data IB can operate with either differential or single-ended input signals. It includes tuning pins
dcinp/dcinn for DC offset of the input signals in case of AC termination. When the buffer is operating
with a DC-terminated single ended input signal, a correct threshold voltage should be applied to the
unused input pin.
All CML I/Os provide on chip 50Ohm termination to vcc and may be used differentially, AC/DC
coupled, single-ended, or in any combination (see also POWER SUPPLY CONFIGURATION).
A loss of lock CMOS alarm signal lolp is generated by the CR to indicate its locking state. An off chip
passive filter is required by the CR, and should be connected to pin ftr (see CR section).
The clock recovery circuit is characterized for operation from 0°C to 125°C of junction temperature. The
package temperature resistance is 15°C /W.

Data IB
The Data Input Buffer (Data IB) can process an input CML data signal dp/dn in NRZ format. It provides
on-chip single-ended termination of 50Ohm to vcc for each input line. The buffer can also accept a singleended signal to one of its input ports dp or dn with a threshold voltage applied to the unused pin in case
of DC termination. In case of AC termination, tuning pins dcinp/dcinn allow for data common mode
adjustment. The tuning pins have 1KOhm terminations to vcc and allow the user to change the slicing
level before the data is sent to the clock recovery section. Tuning voltages from vcc to vee deliver 150mV
of DC voltage shift.
HS CIB
The High-Speed Clock Input Buffer (HS CIB) can process either differential or single-ended external
CML clock signals cep/cen. In single-ended mode, the clock is applied to one of the pins together with a
threshold voltage applied to the unused pin. The buffer utilizes on-chip single-ended termination of
50Ohm to vcc for each input line. This functionality is for test purposes only.
CLK IB
The Clock Input Buffer (CLK IB) consists of a proprietary universal input buffer (UIB) that exceeds
LVDS standards IEEE Std. 1596.3-1996 and ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-1995. UIB is designed to accept
differential signals with a speed up to 1Gb/s, DC common mode voltage variation between vcc and vee,
AC common mode noise with a frequency up to 5MHz, and voltage levels ranging from 0 to 2.4V. It can
also receive a DC-terminated single-ended signal with a threshold voltage between vcc and vee applied
to the unused pin. The input termination impedance is set to 100Ohm differential.
CR
The Clock Recovery Block (CR) contains both a phase and frequency acquisition loop. The frequency
loop works in concert with low-speed clock c32p/c32n while the phase loop utilizes data signal dp/dn.
The CR requires a single off-chip filter shown in Fig. 2 to be connected to pin ftr.

100pF

Fig. 2. External Loop Filter
The main function of the CR is to frequency-lock the selected on-chip VCO to the input data signal (clock
recovery). Using the external control voltage phshft within the range from vcc to vcc-1.0V, the phase of
the internal half rate clock needs to be lined up correctly with the incoming data in the phase loop to
ensure proper CR functionality.
By utilizing the 2.5V CMOS control pins vcos0 and vcos1, the desired working frequency of the CR can
be selected in accordance with Table 1 below.

LOL
The lock detect circuitry generates at its lolp output constant low and high voltage levels or low-speed
pulses between those levels. The high level indicates that a frequency difference exists between an applied
system reference clock c32p/c32n and a recovered half rate clock divided-by-32 that is greater than
±1000ppm. The low level or pulses indicate the lock state of CR.
The pulses may be converted into a constant voltage below 2V using a 1MHz low-pass filter. In this case,
a voltage above 2.1V indicates loss of lock and a voltage below 2V indicates the lock state.
COB
The Clock Output Buffer (COB) receives a half rate clock signal from CR and converts it into CML
output signal c2p/c2n. The buffer requires 50Ohm external termination resistors connected between vcc
and each output (usually supplied by the downstream chip that the buffer is driving).
POWER SUPPLY CONFIGURATION
The ASNT8160C-KMF can operate with either a negative supply (vcc = 0.0V = ground and vee = -3.3V),
or a positive supply (vcc = +3.3V and vee = 0.0V = ground). In case of a positive supply, all I/Os need
AC termination when connected to any devices with 50Ohm termination to ground. Different PCB layouts
will be needed for each different power supply combination.
All the characteristics detailed below assume vcc = 3.3V and vee = 0V (external
ground)
