DS110DF111: Rate / Subrate VCO Programming Multirate Configuration

Part Number: DS110DF111
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DS125DF111

Hello

 We have several questions. Please understand that some of the questions appear obvious or redundant, we need to confirm our assumptions. Thank you for your time and efforts on this matter.

 1) Does the DS110DF111/DS125SD111 lock to the frequencies / data rates programmed in the Group 0 and Group 1 VCO frequency programming registers, 0x60 – 0x64?

 

2) Will the DS110DF111/DS125DF111 automatically lock to 1.25GHz, 10.3125Gb/s, 5.15625Gb/s, and 2.578125Gb/s per the information below.

 GROUP1 = 1.25Gb/s

GROUP0 = 10.3125Gb/s

 RATE   SUBRATE   GROUP0 DIVIDE RATIOS      GROUP1 DIVIDE RATIONS

----------------------------------------------------------------------

00       10            1, 2, 4                     1

 

 

3) If the DS110DF111 does not automatically lock, do we need to override the VCO divider select register 0x09 and configure the divder ration using register 0x18?

 

4) What are the default divider ratios for all Rate and Subrate configuration other than Rate 00 and Subrate 00?

 

5) Can you please advise if these data rates are possible with the DS110DF111 or DS125DF111

 a) 614.4 Mb/s

b) 768 Mb/s

c) 1.2288 Gb/s

d) 1.25 Gb/s

e) 1.536 Gb/s

f) 2.4576 Gb/s

g) 2.48832 Gb/s

h) 3.0720 Gb/s

i) 4.9152 Gb/s

j) 6.1440 Gb/s

k) 9.8304 Gb/s

l) 9.95328 Gb/s

m) 10.1376 Gb/s

n) 10.3125 Gb/s

o) 12.1651 Gb/s

i) 12.2880 Gb/s

 

6) Can you please help and advise on the Group 0 and Group 1 programming setting and divider rate selection. Is this possible

GROUP1 VCO = 10.1376 Gb/s

GROUP0 VCO = 9.8304 Gb/s

RATE   SUBRATE   GROUP0 DIVIDE RATIOS      GROUP1 DIVIDE RATIONS

----------------------------------------------------------------------

01       10            1, 2, 4, 8              1, 2, 4, 8

 Divider 1 (00 - 0x18)     9.8304 Gb/s           12.2880 Gb/s

Divider 2 (01 – 0x18)    4.9152 Gb/s            6.1440 Gb/s

Divider 4 (10 – 0x18)     2.4576 Gb/s            3.0720 Gb/s

Divider 8 (11 – 0x18)     1.2288 Gb/s               n/a

  • 1) Does the DS110DF111/DS125SD111 lock to the frequencies / data rates programmed in the Group 0 and Group 1 VCO frequency programming registers, 0x60 – 0x64?

    (Ans) Registers 0x60 - 0x64 control the exact VCO frequency ranges.  The available VCO divide ratios are programmed with Rate/Subrate settings.

    2) Will the DS110DF111/DS125DF111automatically lock to 1.25Gb/s, 10.3125Gb/s, 5.15625Gb/s, and 2.578125Gb/s per the information below.

    GROUP1 = 1.25Gb/s     GROUP0 = 10.3125Gb/s

    RATE   SUBRATE   GROUP0 DIVIDE RATIOS      GROUP1 DIVIDE RATIONS

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    00       10            1, 2, 4                     1

    (Ans)  Yes.  10.3125 / 5.15625 / 2.578 - Group 0 and 1.25 - Group 1

    3) If the DS110DF111 does not automatically lock, do we need to override the VCO divider select register 0x09 and configure the divder ration using register 0x18?

    (Ans) No. The DS110DF111 will transition between each of the VCO divide ratios given in the Group 0 and Group 1 settings.  Programming the divider directly is not required.

    4) What are the default divider ratios for all Rate and Subrate configuration other than Rate 00 and Subrate 00?

    (Ans) See DS110DF111 datasheet page 21 - Table 9.

    5)  List of datarates -

    (Ans)  Yes they are all possible, but not at the same time.

    6) Can you please help and advise on the Group 0 and Group 1 programming setting and divider rate selection. Is this possible

    GROUP1 VCO = 10.1376 Gb/s      GROUP0 VCO = 9.8304 Gb/s

    RATE   SUBRATE   GROUP0 DIVIDE RATIOS      GROUP1 DIVIDE RATIONS

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    01       10            1, 2, 4, 8              1, 2, 4, 8

     Divider 1 (00 - 0x18)     9.8304 Gb/s           12.2880 Gb/s

    Divider 2 (01 – 0x18)    4.9152 Gb/s            6.1440 Gb/s

    Divider 4 (10 – 0x18)     2.4576 Gb/s            3.0720 Gb/s

    Divider 8 (11 – 0x18)     1.2288 Gb/s               n/a

    (Ans):  Here are the Register Writes for Group 0 = 9.8304 GHz and Group 1 = 10.1376 GHz

    Register         Data         Comment

    0x2F               66'h          //* Program Rate/Subrate to 01 10

    0x60               26'h          //*  Group 0

    0x61               B1'h         //*  Group 0

    0x62               B0'h         //*  Group 1

    0x63               B2'h         //*  Group 1 

    0x64                FF'h       

    Note: The above info is based on Group 1 = 10.3176 GHz

    Note: The below infor is based on Group 1 = 12.2880 GHz

    Here are the Register Writes for Group 0 = 9.8304 GHz and Group 1 = 12.2880 GHz

    Register         Data         Comment

    0x2F               66'h          //* Program Rate/Subrate to 01 10
