Fig. 1. Functional Block Diagram
The ASNT8142-KMC SiGe IC shown in Fig. 1 provides a selectable full 32767-bit or 127-bit long
pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) signal according to either a (x15 + x14 + 1), or a (x7 + x6 + 1)
polynomial respectively, where xD represents a delay of D clock cycles. This is implemented as a linear
feedback shift register (LSFR) in which the outputs of either the fifteenth and fourteenth, or seventh and
sixth flip-flops are combined together by an XOR function, and provided as an input to the first flip-flop
of the register. The polynomial is selected through the external control signal off15.
The LSFR-based PRBS generator produces binary states, excluding the “all zeros” state that is illegal for
the XOR-based configuration. To eliminate this state that locks the LSFR and prevents PRBS generation,
an asynchronous external active-low preset signal rstnp/rstnn is implemented in the circuit. When the
preset is asserted, LSFR is set to the All-“1” state that is enough for activation of the PRBS generation.
When the preset is released, the chip delivers one consecutive bit of the PRBS signal to output pins qp/qn
per each rising edge of clock clkp/clkn, starting from the above mentioned state.
An additional copy of the same PRBS signal delayed by half of the sequence period is delivered to pins
qxorp/qxorn, and can be used to double the frequency of the output signal using an external multiplexer
(e.g. ASNT5150 part) as shown in Fig. 2.

All I/O stages are back terminated to vcc with on-chip 50Ohm resistors and may be used in either DC or
AC coupling modes (see also POWER SUPPLY CONFIGURATION). In the first mode, the input
signal’s common mode voltage should comply with the specifications shown in ELECTRICAL
CHARACTERISTICS. In the second mode, the input termination provides the required common mode
voltage automatically. The differential DC signaling mode is recommended for optimal performance.
POWER SUPPLY CONFIGURATION
The part 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 = 0.0V and vee = -3.3V.
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Caution: Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may cause damage to this product and/or lead to
reduced reliability. Functional performance is specified over the recommended operating conditions for
power supply and temperature only. AC and DC device characteristics at or beyond the absolute
maximum ratings are not assumed or implied. All min and max voltage limits are referenced to ground
(assumed vcc).

PACKAGE INFORMATION
The chip die is housed in a custom 24-pin CQFP package shown in Fig. 4. The package provides a center
heat slug located on its back side to be used for heat dissipation. ADSANTEC recommends for this
section to be soldered to the vcc plain, which is ground for a negative supply, or power for a positive
supply.
The part’s identification label is ASNT8142-KMC. The first 8 characters of the name before the dash
identify the bare die including general circuit family, fabrication technology, specific circuit type, and part
version while the 3 characters after the dash represent the package’s manufacturer, type, and pin out
count.
This device complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) per 2011/65/EU for all ten
substances.
