FOUR PORT BYPASS AND REPEATER FOR FC-AL
S2072
February 18, 2000 / Revision D
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The S2072 provides a port bypass function for up to 4
nodes in an FC-AL circuit, with low jitter accumulation.
An integrated repeater reduces jitter and restores sig-
nal amplitude levels for optimal signal integrity. Jitter
performance of the PLL is specified by jitter tolerance
and jitter transfer. In accordance with ANSI X3T11,
jitter tolerance is divided into random, deterministic,
and frequency dependent jitter. Figure 3 illustrates the
components of random, deterministic, and frequency
dependent jitter that must be tolerated to be ANSI
X3T11 compliant.
Frequency Dependent Jitter Tolerance
Frequency Dependent Input jitter tolerance is defined
as the peak to peak amplitude of sinusoidal jitter ap-
plied on the input signal that causes the clock recovery
to violate BER specifications. See Figure 4.
Random Jitter Tolerance
Random Jitter Tolerance is the amount of jitter with a
gaussian distribution that the clock recovery PLL must
tolerate.
Deterministic Jitter Tolerance
Deterministic Jitter Tolerance is the amount of Deter-
ministic jitter that the clock recovery PLL must tolerate.
Jitter transfer
Jitter transfer is defined as the ratio of jitter on the
output signal to the jitter applied on the input signal
versus frequency. Jitter transfer requirements are
shown in Figures 4 and 5. The measurement condition
is that input sinusoidal jitter up to the mask level in
Figure 4 is applied and the output jitter is measured for
compliance to the mask of Figure 5. The jitter transfer
mask includes specifications for both jitter peaking and
bandwidth.
Lock detect
The S2072 lock detect circuit monitors the selected
input signal to detect the presence of the channel. This
is done by monitoring the frequency content of the in-
coming data. The frequency monitor circuit checks the
difference between the divided down recovered clock
and the externally supplied reference clock (REFCLK).
If the frequency difference between the recovered
clock and the reference clock varies by more than
±
100 ppm the part will be declared out of lock. In the out
of lock state, the PLL will lock to the local reference
clock and periodically poll the serial data inputs looking
for data with valid frequency content.
