APPLICATION INFORMATION
Data Inputs
The differential IN/IN inputs of the NB7VPQ16M can
accept LVPECL, CML, and LVDS signal levels. The
limitations for a differential input signal (LVDS, LVPECL,
or CML) is a minimum input swing of 100 mV
(singleended measurement). Within this condition, the
input HIGH voltage, VIH, can range from VCC down to
1.1 V. Example interfaces are illustrated in Figure
17.
Serial Data Interface
The Serial Data Interface (SDI) logic is implemented with
a 5bit shift register scheme. The register shifts once per
rising edge of the SCLKIN input. The serial data input SDIN
must meet setup and hold timing as specified in the AC table.
The configuration latches will capture the value of the shift
register on the LowtoHigh edge of the SLOAD input. The
most significant bit (MSB) is loaded first. See the
programming timing diagram for more information.
SDIN / SCLKIN
SDIN is the Serial Data input pin; SCLKIN is the Serial
Clock input pin.
SLOAD
The SLOAD pin performs the DAC latch function. When
LOW or left open, the DAC latch will pass the shift register
outputs to the input of the DAC and the EQualizer ENable
bit (EQEN). On the LowtoHIGH transition of SLOAD,
the input to the 4bit DAC is locked to the state prior to when
SLOAD went HIGH, and will set the EQualizer ENable bit.
The DAC does not get programmed until SLOAD goes
HIGH. The SLOAD pin must remain in a HIGH state to
maintain the DAC PreEmphasis and the EQEN settings. A
LOW or open state resets the DAC to 0 db PreEmphasis
setting and disables the EQEN bit, regardless of SDIN and
SCLKIN values. The SLOAD function is asynchronous.

PreEmphasis Selection
The PreEmphasis buffer is controlled using a serial bus
via the SDIN (Serial Data In) and SCLKIN (Serial Clock In)
control inputs and contains circuitry which provides sixteen
programmable preemphasis levels to control the output
compensation. The 4bits (D3:D0) digitally select 0 dB
through 12 dB of PreEmphasis compensation (see
Table
1). The default state at startup is PE = 0 dB.
EQualization ENable (EQEN)
The EQualizer ENable (EQEN) allows for enabling the
Equalizer function. The control of the Equalizer function is
realized by setting the 5th bit, EQEN, of the 5bit serial data.
When EQEN is set Low (or open), the IN/IN inputs bypass
the Equalizer. When EQEN is set High, the IN/IN inputs
flow through the Equalizer. The default state at startup is
EQEN = LOW.
Q/Q Outputs
The differential outputs of the NB7VPQ16M, Q and Q,
utilize Common Mode Logic (CML) architecture. The
outputs are designed to drive differential transmission lines
with nominal 50
W characteristic impedance. External
termination with a 50
W resistor to VCC is recommended.
See Figures
22 and
23 for output termination scheme.
Alternatively, 100
W linetoline termination is also
acceptable.
Power Supply Bypass information
A clean power supply will optimize the performance of
the NB7VPQ16M. The device provides separate VCCD and
VCC power supply pins for the digital circuitry and CML
outputs. Placing a 0.01
mF to 0.1 mF bypass capacitor on
each VCC and VCCD Pin to ground will help ensure a noise
free power supply. The purpose of this design technique is
to isolate the CMOS digital switching noise from the high
speed input/output path.
