Description
The HDMP-0552 is a Quad Port
Bypass Circuit (PBC) with Clock
and Data Recovery (CDR) and
data valid detection capability
included. See Figure 1 for block
diagram. This device minimizes
part count, cost and jitter
accumulation while repeating
incoming signals. Port Bypass
Circuits are used in hard disk
arrays constructed in Fibre
Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL)
configurations. By using Port
Bypass Circuits, hard disks may
be pulled out or swapped while
other disks in the array are
available to the system.
A PBC consists of multiple 2:1
multiplexers daisy chained along
with a CDR. Each port has two
modes of operation: “disk in
loop” and “disk bypassed.” When
the “disk in loop” mode is
selected, the loop goes into and
out of the disk drive at that port.
For example, data goes from the
HDMP-0552’s TO_NODE[n]±
differential output pins to the
Disk Drive Transceiver IC (for
example, an HDMP-263x) Rx±
differential input pins. Data from
the Disk Drive Transceiver IC
Tx± differential output pins goes
to HDMP-0552’s FM_NODE[n]±
differential input pins. Figure 2
and Figure 3 show connection
diagrams for disk drive array
applications. When the “disk
bypassed” mode is selected, the
disk drive is either absent or
nonfunctional, and the loop
bypasses the hard disk.
Multiple HDMP-0552’s may be
cascaded or connected to other
members of the HDMP-04xx
family through the FM_LOOP and
TO_LOOP pins to create loops for
arrays of disk drives greater than
4. See Table 3 to identify which
of the 5 cells (0:4) provides
FM_LOOP, TO_LOOP pins (cell
connected to cable).
CAUTION: As with all semiconductor ICs, it is advised that normal static precautions be taken in the handling and assembly of
this component to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
