The SK10/100E445 is an integrated 4-bit serial-to-
parallel data converter.
The device is designed to
operate for NRZ data rates of up to 2.0 Gb/s.
The
chip generates a divide by 4 and a divide by 8 clock
for both 4-bit conversion and a two chip 8-bit conversion
function.
The conversion sequence was chosen to
convert the first serial bit to Q0, the second to Q1,
etc.
The start bit for conversion can be moved using the SYNC
input. A single pulse applied asynchronously for at least
two input clock cycles shifts the start bit for conversion
from Qn to Qn–1. For each additional shift required, an
additional pulse must be applied to the SYNC input.
Asserting the SYNC input will force the internal clock
dividers to “swallow” a clock pulse, effectively shifting a
bit from the Qn to the Qn–1 output (see Timing Diagram
B).
The MODE input is used to select the conversion mode
of the device. With the MODE input LOW, or open, the
device will function as a 4-bit converter.
When the
MODE input is driven HIGH, the data on the output will
change on every eighth clock cycle, thus allowing for
an 8-bit conversion scheme using two E445’s. When
cascaded in an 8-bit conversion scheme, the devices
will not operate at the 2.0 Gb/s data rate of a single
device. Refer to the applications section of this data
sheet for more information on cascading the E445.
For lower data rate applications, a VBB reference voltage
is supplied for single-ended inputs. When operating at
clock rates above 500 MHz, differential input signals
are recommended. For single-ended inputs, the VBB pin
is tied to the inverting differential input and bypassed
via a 0.01 F capacitor. The VBB provides the switching
reference for the input differential amplifier. The VBB
can also be used to AC couple an input signal.
Upon power-up, the internal flip-flops will attain a random
state. To synchronize multiple E445’s in a system, the
master reset must be asserted.
