4.3.1 External VCO
4.3.2 Loop Bandwidth
4.4 Serial Digital Loop-Through Output
The GS1559 requires the external GO1525 Voltage Controlled Oscillator as part of
the reclocker's phase-locked loop. This external VCO implementation was chosen
to ensure high quality reclocking.
Power for the external VCO is generated entirely by the GS1559 from an integrated
voltage regulator. The internal regulator uses +3.3V DC supplied via the CP_VDD
/ CP_GND pins to provide +2.5V DC on the VCO_VCC / VCO_GND pins.
The control voltage to the VCO is output from the GS1559 on the LF pin and
requires 4.7kΩ pull-up and pull-down resistors to ensure correct operation.
The GO1525 produces a 1.485GHz reference signal for the reclocker, input on the
VCO pin of the GS1559. Both LF and VCO signals should be referenced to the
supplied VCO_GND as shown in the recommended application circuit of
Section
The loop bandwidth of the integrated reclocker is nominally 1.4MHz, but may be
increased or decreased via the LB_CONT pin. It is recommended that this pin be
connected to VCO_GND through 39.2kΩ to maximize the input jitter tolerance of
the device.
The GS1559 contains an integrated current mode differential serial digital cable
driver with automatic slew rate control. When enabled, this serial digital output
provides an active loop-through of the input signal.
The integrated cable driver uses a separate power supply of +1.8V DC supplied via
the CD_VDD and CD_GND pins.
To enable the loop-through output, SDO_EN/DIS must be set HIGH by the
application layer. Setting the SDO_EN/DIS signal LOW will cause the SDO and
SDO output pins to become high impedance, resulting in reduced device power
consumption.
Gennum recommends using the GS1528A SDI Dual Slew-Rate Cable Driver to
meet SMPTE specifications.
