DS110DF111- CDR Bypass mode for STM1, STM4

Hello,

One of my customer is using this retimer for his front port optical application. The data baud rate is OC-192(9.95G) mainly. The device also needs to support STM1- 155.52 Mbps and STM4- 622 Mbps for which the CDR bypass mode is sufficient.

To put the device in CDR bypass, 

0x09[5] = 1'b to over ride the setting

0x1E[7:5] = 000'b to set it to raw data.

Is there any other register write needed to ensure the raw mode? Does the VCO rate/subrate register need to be configured to the corresponding rate(STM-64 = 9.953G) to operate in bypass?

  • Hi Mahesh,

    In addition you should disable the Lock Monitoring, SBT, PPM, and  FLD checks in the registers

    Add register writes

    0x0C[3] = 0'b to disable SBT

    0x2F[2] = 0'b to disable PPM

    0x2F[1] = 0'b to disable FLD

    0x3E[7] = 0'b to disable Lock monitoring

    I would program the VCO rate/subrate to = STM-64 (9.953G) so only the above registers would need to be re-programmed for the higher datarate.
