APPLICATIONS
Application with Fiber Optic Receivers/Transceivers
The AD6816 receiver (adaptive equalizer and baseline restore
loop) can be configured to receive a signal from a fiber optic
receiver or transceiver that provides full PECL or ECL outputs.
By properly adjusting the common mode and amplitude level,
the AD6816 receiver will be essentially transparent to the
(P)ECL inputs. The common-mode input voltage should be
between 1.5 V and 1.9 V referred to V
CC
. The differential input
amplitude should be between 0.7 V and 1.1 V. The common-
mode issue can be addressed simply by ac coupling. The ampli-
tude of the (P)ECL signal should be attenuated by two to meet
the above requirement.
Figure 18 provides a simple solution that satisfies the above
requirements as well as providing proper 50
terminations for
transmission lines when needed. The circuit also allows a conve-
nient way to double pad a PC board for either fiber or copper
cable applications.

Generation of 19.44 MHz TTL-Level Byte Clock from
155.52 MHz Recovered Clock
Some applications require that a local master clock at 19.44 MHz
be generated from the 155.52 MHz recovered clock. Figure 19
shows a circuit schematic for such an application. The circuit
uses one ECL (PECL) IC to divide the recovered 155 MHz clock
by eight, and one ECL/TTL converter IC to deliver the
19.44 MHz TTL output.

Jitter caused by variations of density of data transitions (pattern
jitter) is virtually eliminated by use of a new phase detector
(patented). Briefly, the measurement of zero phase error does
not cause the VCO phase to increase to above the average run
rate set by the data frequency. The jitter created by a 2
7
-1
pseudo random code is 1/2 degree; this is small compared to
random jitter.
The jitter bandwidth for the PLL is 0.07% of the center fre-
quency. This figure is chosen so that sinusoidal input jitter at
110 kHz will be attenuated by 3 dB.
The damping ratio of the PLL is user programmable with a
single external capacitor. At 155 MHz, a damping ratio of 5 is
obtained with a 0.15
μ
F capacitor. More generally, the damping
ratio scales as (

1/2
.
A lower damping ratio allows a faster frequency acquisition;
generally the acquisition time scales directly with the capacitor
value. However, at damping ratios approaching one, the acquisi-
tion time no longer scales directly with capacitor value. The ac-
quisition time has two components: frequency acquisition and
phase acquisition. The frequency acquisition always scales with
capacitance, but the phase acquisition is set by the loop band-
width of the PLL and is independent of the damping ratio.
Thus, the 0.07% fractional loop bandwidth sets a minimum ac-
quisition time of 2000 bit periods. Note the acquisition time for
a damping factor of one 15,000 bit periods. This comprises
13,000 bit periods for frequency acquisition and 2,000 bit peri-
ods for phase acquisition. Compare this to the 400,000 bit peri-
ods acquisition time for a damping ratio of 5; this consists
entirely of frequency acquisition, and the 2,000 bit periods of
phase acquisition is negligible.
While a lower damping ratio affords faster acquisition, it also al-
lows more peaking in the jitter transfer response (jitter peaking).
For example, with a damping ratio of 10 the jitter peaking is
0.02 dB, but with a damping ratio of 1, the peaking is 2 dB.
