Advance Information VN16218 2.5 Gigabit SERDES Transceiver Applications *= Fast serial backplane transceiver *= High-speed point-to-point links General Description The VN16218 is a low power single chip, 2.5GBd transceiver. It provides a 2.5GBd serial link interface in the physical layer and includes a Serialize/Deserialize (SERDES) capability. Other functions include clock generation, clock data recovery, and word synchronization. In addition, an internal loopback function is provided for system debugging. The VN16218 is ideal for 2.5 Gigabit, serial backplane and proprietary point-to-point applications. The device supports both fiber-optic and copper media. The transmitter section of the VN16218 accepts 20-bit wide TTL data and latches it on the rising edge of the incoming Transmit Byte Clock (TBC) and serializes the data onto the TX differential outputs, at a baud rate that is twenty times the TBC frequency. The data is converted to a high-speed serial data stream. The transmit PLL locks to the 125 MHz TBC. This clock is then multiplied by 20 to supply a 2.5 GHz serial clock for parallel-to-serial conversion. The high-speed serial outputs can interface directly with copper cables or PCB traces. Where optical transmission is required, the outputs can connect to a separate optical module. When copper lines are the medium, equalization is available for improved performance. The receiver section of the VN16218 accepts a serial data stream of 2.5 GBd and recovers 20 bit parallel data. The receiver PLL locks on to the incoming serial signal and recovers the high-speed incoming clock and data. The serial data is converted back into 20-bit parallel data format. Byte alignment is accomplished by optional recognition of the K28.5+ comma character. The recovered parallel data is sent to CMOS outputs, together with two 125 MHz clocks, RBC and RBCN, that are 180 degrees out of phase from each other.

User should tie this pin to GND for normal operation Legend: I = Input O = Output P = Power supply connection Functional Block Description PLL Clock Multiplier The VN16218 employs a user-supplied 125 MHz clock both as a reference clock and as a Transmit Byte Clock (TBC). The PLL Clock Multiplier multiplies the TBC by 20 to generate a baud rate clock of 2.5 GHz. The TBC also clocks in the incoming parallel data. Serializer (Parallel-to-Serial Converter) Input data arrives at the T[0:19] bus as two parallel 10 bit characters and is latched into the input latch on the rising edge of TBC. The data is serialized and transmitted on the TX differential outputs at a baud rate of twenty times the frequency of TBC. Bit T0 is transmitted first. Incoming data is already encoded for transmission using either the 8B/10B block code, as specified in the Fibre Channel specification, or an equivalent edge-rich, DC-balanced code. If EWR is HIGH, the transmitter will be disabled, with TX+ HIGH and TX- LOW. If EWR is LOW, the transmitter outputs serialized data. According to the fibre channel specification, a transmission character is an encoded byte of 10 bits. The 20 bit interface of the VN16218 corresponds to two transmission characters, as shown in Table 2 below. Table 2.

The equalizer compensates for distortion introduced by the cable, in order to maintain a low bit-error rate. Input Latch The transmitter accepts 20 bits wide single-ended parallel input T[0:19]. The TBC provided by the sender of the transmit data is used as the transmit byte clock. The T[0:19] and TBC signals must be aligned as shown in Figure 5. The T[0:19] data is latched on the rising edge of TBC. Clock Recovery When EWR is LOW, the VN16218 accepts differential high-speed inputs on the RX+ and RX- pins, extracts the clock and retimes the data. The serial bit stream should be encoded in a Fibre Channel compatible 8B/10B, or equivalent format, in order to accomplish DC-balance and limited run length. Clock recovery circuitry is self-contained and does not require external components. The baud rate of the data stream to be recovered should be within 200 ppm of twenty times the TBC frequency. This allows oscillators at either end of the link to be 125 MHz 100ppm. Deserializer (Serial-to-Parallel Converter) The re-timed serial bit stream is converted into two 10-bit parallel output characters. The VN16218 provides a TTL recovered clock (RBC) at one-twentieth the serial baud rate. This is accomplished by dividing down the high-speed clock that is phase locked to the serial data. The serial data is re-timed by the internal highspeed clock and deserialized. Parallel data results, and is captured by the adjoining protocol logic on the rising edge of RBC Word Alignment The VN16218 has 7-bit Fibre Channel comma character recognition, and data word alignment. Word synchronization (with EN_CD HIGH), causes the VN16218 to constantly search the serial data for the presence of the Fibre Channel `comma' character. This pattern is `0011111XX': the leading zero corresponds to the first bit received. The comma sequence occurs only within special characters (K28.1, K28.5 and K28.7) that are defined specifically for synchronization in Fibre Channel systems. Improper alignment condition of the comma character is defined as; 1. The comma is not aligned within the 10 bit transmission character such that T0...T6 = `0011111' 2. The comma straddles the boundary between two 10-bit transmission characters. When EN_CD is HIGH and an improperly aligned comma is encountered, the internal data is shifted so that the comma character is aligned properly in R0:6, as shown in Table 2. The result is proper character and word alignment. When an improperly aligned comma pattern causes changes in parallel data alignment, some data that would have been presented at the parallel output port may be lost. However, the synchronization character and subsequent data will be sent correctly and properly aligned. With EN_CD LOW, the current alignment of the serial data is maintained indefinitely, regardless of data pattern. A `comma' character drives COM_DET HIGH to notify the user that realignment of the parallel data field may have occurred. The COM_DET pulse occurs simultaneously with the `comma' character and has a duration equal to that of the data. The COM_DET pulse is timed so that it is captured by the adjoining protocol logic, on the rising edge of RBC. Figures 3 and 4 show functional waveforms for synchronization. Figure 3 illustrates the situation when a `comma' character is detected, but no phase adjustment is necessary. The position of the COM_DET pulse is shown in relation to the `comma' character on R0:6. Figure 4 illustrates the situation when K28.5 is detected, but is out- of-phase, and a change in the output data alignment is required. It should be noted that up to three characters before the `comma' character may be corrupted by the realignment process. 2001-11-09 Page 5 MDSN-0003-00 www.vaishali.com Vaishali Semiconductor 747 Camden Avenue, Suite C Campbell CA 95008 Ph. 408.377.6060 Fax 408.377.6063 VN16218 Advance Information COM_DET Figure 3.
