DS32ELX0421: Line Rate / Pattern Requirement when DC Balancing and Remote Sensing are off

Part Number: DS32ELX0421
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DS32ELX0124,

We are testing a loopback DS32ELX0124 to DS32ELX0421 where DC Balancing and Reomte Sensing are not used.

The datasheet specifies CML Line Rate of 1.25 to 3.125Gbps with an alternating pattern 1-0 pattern. This is an ideal pattern but unusual.

What is the minimum required transitions (in total and per 10 Bits) for a reliable PLL lock at the receiver side?

Do you have a recommendation for a power-up sequence?

  • Hi Joachim,

    Which signal are you referring to about the minimum transitions? Is it TxCLKIN? The requirements for the input DDR clock are in the "LVDS Timing Specifications" section.

    I will check whether we have power-up sequence recommendations and get back to you.

    Best regards,
    Ikram
