MAX9234/MAX9236/ MAX9238 Hot-Swappable, 21-Bit, DC-Balanced LVDS Deserializers General Description The MAX9234/MAX9236/MAX9238 deserialize three LVDS serial-data inputs into 21 single-ended LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs. A parallel-rate LVDS clock received with the LVDS data streams provides timing for deserialization. The outputs have a separate supply, allowing 1.8V to 5V output logic levels. All these devices are hot-swappable and allow "on-the-fly" frequency programming. The MAX9234/MAX9236/MAX9238 feature DC balance, which allows isolation between a serializer and deserializer using AC-coupling. Each deserializer decodes data transmitted by one of the MAX9209/MAX9211/ MAX9213/MAX9215 serializers. The MAX9234 has a rising-edge output strobe. The MAX9236/MAX9238 have a falling-edge output strobe. The MAX9234/MAX9236/MAX9238 operate in DCbalanced mode only. The MAX9234/MAX9236 operate with a parallel input clock of 8MHz to 34MHz, while the MAX9238 operates from 16MHz to 66MHz. The transition time of the singleended outputs is increased on the low-frequency version parts (MAX9234/MAX9236) for reduced EMI. The LVDS inputs meet ISO 10605 ESD specification, 25kV for AirGap Discharge and 8kV Contact Discharge. The MAX9234/MAX9236/MAX9238 are available in 48-pin TSSOP packages and operate over the -40C to +85C temperature range.

The MAX9238 operates at a parallel clock frequency of 16MHz to 66MHz. The transition times of the single-ended outputs are increased on the MAX9234/MAX9236 for reduced EMI. DC Balance Data coding by the MAX9209/MAX9211/MAX9213/ MAX9215 serializers (which are companion devices to the MAX9234/MAX9236/MAX9238 deserializers) limits the imbalance of ones and zeros transmitted on each channel. If +1 is assigned to each binary 1 transmitted and -1 is assigned to each binary 0 transmitted, the variation in the running sum of assigned values is called the digital sum variation (DSV). The maximum DSV for the data channels is 10. At most, 10 more zeros than ones, or 10 more ones than zeros, are transmitted. The maximum DSV for the clock channel is five. Limiting the DSV and choosing the correct coupling capacitors maintains differential signal amplitude and reduces jitter due to droop on AC-coupled links. To obtain DC balance on the data channels, the serializer parallel data is inverted or not inverted, depending on the sign of the digital sum at the word boundary. Two complementary bits are appended to each group of 7 parallel input data bits to indicate to the MAX9234/ MAX9236/MAX9238 deserializers whether the data bits are inverted (see Figure 9). The deserializer restores the original state of the parallel data. The LVDS clock signal alternates duty cycles of 4/9 and 5/9, which maintain DC balance. AC-Coupling Benefits Bit errors experienced with DC-coupling can be eliminated by increasing the receiver common-mode voltage range by AC-coupling. AC-coupling increases the common-mode voltage range of an LVDS receiver to nearly the voltage rating of the capacitor. The typical LVDS driver output is 350mV centered on an offset voltage of 1.25V, making single-ended output voltages of 1.425V and 1.075V. An LVDS receiver accepts signals from 0 to 2.4V, allowing approximately 1V common-mode difference between the driver and receiver on a DC-coupled Maxim Integrated OUTPUT STROBE link (2.4V - 1.425V = 0.975V and 1.075V - 0V = 1.075V). Common-mode voltage differences may be due to ground potential variation or common-mode noise. If there is more than 1V of difference, the receiver is not guaranteed to read the input signal correctly and may cause bit errors. AC-coupling filters low-frequency ground shifts and common-mode noise and passes high-frequency data. A common-mode voltage difference up to the voltage rating of the coupling capacitor (minus half the differential swing) is tolerated. DC-balanced coding of the data is required to maintain the differential signal amplitude and limit jitter on an AC-coupled link. A capacitor in series with each output of the LVDS driver is sufficient for AC-coupling. However, two capacitors--one at the serializer output and one at the deserializer input--provide protection in case either end of the cable is shorted to a high voltage.

Power-Down Delay MAX9234/MAX9236/MAX9238 vs. MAX9210/MAX9220/MAX9222 The MAX9234/MAX9236/MAX9238 operate in DC-balance mode only. Pinouts are the same as the MAX9210/MAX9220/MAX9222 except that pin 6 on the MAX9234/MAX9236/MAX9238 is no connect (N.C.). DC balance allows AC-coupling with series capacitors. The MAX9234/MAX9236/MAX9238 are hot-swappable and the input frequency can be changed on the fly, but otherwise the specifications and functionality are the same as the MAX9210/MAX9220/MAX9222 operating in DCbalance mode. See Table 1. The RC network for an AC-coupled link consists of the LVDS receiver termination resistor (RT), the LVDS driver output resistor (RO), and the series AC-coupling capacitors (C). The RC time constant for two equal-value series capacitors is (C x (RT + RO)) / 2 (Figure 10). The RC time constant for four equal-value series capacitors is (C x (RT + RO)) / 4 (Figure 11). RT is required to match the transmission line impedance (usually 100) and RO is determined by the LVDS driver design (the minimum differential output resistance of 78 for the MAX9209/MAX9211/MAX9213/ MAX9215 serializers is used in the following example).

Four Capacitors per Link, AC-Coupled 10 Maxim Integrated MAX9234/MAX9236/MAX9238 Hot-Swappable, 21-Bit, DC-Balanced LVDS Deserializers In the following example, the capacitor value for a droop of 2% is calculated. Jitter due to this droop is then calculated assuming a 1ns transition time: C = - (2 x tB x DSV) / (ln (1 - D) x (RT + RO)) (Eq 1) where: C = AC-coupling capacitor (F). tB = bit time (s). DSV = digital sum variation (integer). ln = natural log. D = droop (% of signal amplitude). RT = termination resistor (). RO = output resistance (). Equation 1 is for two series capacitors (Figure 10). The bit time (tB) is the period of the parallel clock divided by 9. The DSV is 10. See equation 3 for four series capacitors (Figure 11). The capacitor for 2% maximum droop at 8MHz parallel rate clock is: C = - (2 x tB x DSV) / (ln (1 - D) x (RT + RO)) C = - (2 x 13.9ns x 10) / (ln (1 - 0.02) x (100 + 78)) C = 0.0773F Jitter due to droop is proportional to the droop and transition time: tJ = tT x D (Eq 2) where: tJ = jitter (s). tT = transition time (s) (0 to 100%). D = droop (% of signal amplitude). Jitter due to 2% droop and assumed 1ns transition time is: tJ = 1ns x 0.02 tJ = 20ps The transition time in a real system depends on the frequency response of the cable driven by the serializer. The capacitor value decreases for a higher frequency parallel clock and for higher levels of droop and jitter. Use high-frequency, surface-mount ceramic capacitors. Equation 1 altered for four series capacitors (Figure 11) is: C = - (4 x tB x DSV) / (ln (1 - D) x (RT + RO)) (Eq 3) Input Bias and Frequency Detection The inverting and noninverting LVDS inputs are internally connected to +1.2V through 42k (min) to provide biasing for AC-coupling (Figure 1). A frequency-detection circuit on the clock input detects when the input is not switching, or is switching at low frequency. In this case, all outputs are driven low. To prevent switching due to noise when the clock input is not driven, bias the clock input to differential +15mV by connecting a 10k 1% Maxim Integrated pullup resistor between the noninverting input and VCC, and a 10k 1% pulldown resistor between the inverting input and ground. These bias resistors, along with the 100 1% tolerance termination resistor, provide +15mV of differential input. Unused LVDS Data Inputs At each unused LVDS data input, pull the inverting input up to VCC using a 10k resistor, and pull the noninverting input down to ground using a 10k resistor. Do not connect a termination resistor. The pullup and pulldown resistors drive the corresponding outputs low and prevent switching due to noise. PWRDWN Driving PWRDWN low puts the outputs in high impedance, stops the PLL, and reduces supply current to 50A or less. Driving PWRDWN high drives the outputs low until the PLL locks. The outputs of two deserializers can be bused to form a 2:1 mux with the outputs controlled by PWRDWN. Wait 100ns between disabling one deserializer (driving PWRDWN low) and enabling the second one (driving PWRDWN high) to avoid contention of the bused outputs. Input Clock and PLL Lock Time There is no required timing sequence for the application or reapplication of the parallel rate clock (RxCLK IN) relative to PWRDWN, or to a power-supply ramp for proper PLL lock. The PLL lock time is set by an internal counter. The maximum time to lock is 32,800 clock periods. Power and clock should be stable to meet the lock-time specification. When the PLL is locking, the outputs are low. Power-Supply Bypassing There are separate on-chip power domains for digital circuits, outputs, PLL, and LVDS inputs. Bypass each VCC, VCCO, PLL VCC, and LVDS VCC pin with high-frequency, surface-mount ceramic 0.1F and 0.001F capacitors in parallel as close to the device as possible, with the smallest value capacitor closest to the supply pin. Cables and Connectors Interconnect for LVDS typically has a differential impedance of 100. Use cables and connectors that have matched differential impedance to minimize impedance discontinuities. Twisted-pair and shielded twisted-pair cables offer superior signal quality compared to ribbon cable and tend to generate less EMI due to magnetic field canceling effects. Balanced cables pick up noise as common mode, which is rejected by the LVDS receiver. 11 MAX9234/MAX9236/MAX9238 Hot-Swappable, 21-Bit, DC-Balanced LVDS Deserializers Board Layout Keep the LVTTL/LVCMOS outputs and LVDS input signals separated to prevent crosstalk. A four-layer PC board with separate layers for power, ground, LVDS inputs, and digital signals is recommended. ESD Protection The MAX9234/MAX9236/MAX9238 ESD tolerance is rated for IEC 61000-4-2 Human Body Model and ISO 10605 standards. IEC 61000-4-2 and ISO 10605 specifiy ESD tolerance for electronic systems. The Human Body Model discharge components are CS = 100pF and RD = 1.5k (Figure 12). For the Human Body Model, all pins are rated for 5kV contact discharge. The ISO 10605 discharge components are CS = 330pF and RD = 2k (Figure 13). For ISO 10605, the LVDS outputs are rated for 8kV contact and 25kV air discharge. The IEC 61000-4-2 discharge components are CS = 150pF and RD = 330 (Figure 14). For IEC 61000-4-2, the LVDS inputs are rated for 8kV Contact Discharge and 15kV Air-Gap Discharge. 5V Tolerant Input PWRDWN is 5V tolerant and is internally pulled down to GND.

The deserializer sampling uncertainty is accounted for and does not need to be subtracted from RSKM. The main outside contributors of jitter and skew that subtract from RSKM are interconnect intersymbol interference, serializer pulse position uncertainty, and pair-to-pair path skew. VCCO Output Supply and Power Dissipation The outputs have a separate supply (VCCO) for interfacing to systems with 1.8V to 5V nominal input-logic levels. The DC Electrical Characteristics table gives the maximum supply current for VCCO = 3.6V with 8pF load at several switching frequencies with all outputs switching in the worst-case switching pattern. The approximate incremental supply current for VCCO other than 3.6V with the same 8pF load and worst-case pattern can be calculated using: II = CTVI 0.5fC x 21 (data outputs) + CTVIfC x 1 (clock output) where: II = incremental supply current. CT = total internal (CINT) and external (CL) load capacitance. VI = incremental supply voltage. fC = output clock-switching frequency. 12 Figure 13.

IEC 61000-4-2 Contact Discharge ESD Test Circuit The incremental current is added to (for VCCO > 3.6V) or subtracted from (for VCCO < 3.6V) the DC Electrical Characteristics table maximum supply current. The internal output buffer capacitance is CINT = 6pF. The worst-case pattern-switching frequency of the data outputs is half the switching frequency of the output clock. In the following example, the incremental supply current is calculated for VCCO = 5.5V, fC = 34MHz, and CL = 8pF: VI = 5.5V - 3.6V = 1.9V CT = CINT + CL = 6pF + 8pF = 14pF Maxim Integrated MAX9234/MAX9236/MAX9238 Hot-Swappable, 21-Bit, DC-Balanced LVDS Deserializers where: II = CTVI 0.5FC x 21 (data outputs) + CTVIfC x 1 (clock output). II = (14pF x 1.9V x 0.5 x 34MHz x 21) + (14pF x 1.9V x 34MHz). the package power-dissipation rating. Do not exceed the maximum package power-dissipation rating. See the Absolute Maximum Ratings for maximum package power-dissipation capacity and temperature derating. II = 9.5mA + 0.9mA = 10.4mA. The maximum supply current in DC-balanced mode for VCC = VCCO = 3.6V at fC = 34MHz is 106mA (from the DC Electrical Characteristics table). Add 10.4mA to get the total approximate maximum supply current at VCCO = 5.5V and VCC = 3.6V. If the output supply voltage is less than VCCO = 3.6V, the reduced supply current can be calculated using the same formula and method. At high switching frequency, high supply voltage, and high capacitive loading, power dissipation can exceed The MAX9234 has a rising-edge output strobe, which latches the parallel output data into the next chip on the rising edge of RxCLK OUT. The MAX9236/MAX9238 have a falling-edge output strobe, which latches the parallel output data into the next chip on the falling edge of RxCLK OUT. The deserializer output strobe polarity does not need to match the serializer input strobe polarity. A deserializer with rising- or fallingedge output strobe can be driven by a serializer with a rising-edge input strobe.
