Feature Description (continued)
7.3.13 Reference Clock In
REFCLK_IN pin 19 is for reference clock input. A 25-MHz oscillator should be connected to pin 19. See Electrical
Characteristics for the requirements on the 25-MHz clock. The frequency of the reference clock should always be
25 MHz no matter what data rate or mode of operation is used.
7.3.14 Reference Clock Out
REFCLK_OUT pin 42 is the reference clock output pin. The DS100RT410 drives a buffered replica of the
25-MHz reference clock input on this output pin. If there are multiple DS100RT410 in the system, the
REFCLK_OUT pin can be directly connected to the REFCLK_IN pin of another DS100RT410 in a daisy chain
connection. The other option is to connect the external 25-MHz oscillator to a clock fanout buffer to distribute the
25-MHz clock to each DS100RT410, which ensures there is a reference clock for the DS100RT410.
7.3.15 Daisy Chain of REFCLK_OUT to REFCLK_IN
When daisy chaining the device REFCLK_OUT to the REFCLK_IN of another device, the trace connection
should be less than 1.5 inches (about 5-pF trace capacitance) and it is possible to cascade up to 9 devices.
While in other systems with longer interconnecting trace or more capacitive loading, the daisy chain of multiple
devices should be reduced. In a system which requires longer daisy chain, it is recommended to place an
inverted gate after the sixth device. The pre-distorted duty cycle from the inverter allows longer daisy chain. A
better approach is to break the long daisy chain into shorter chains, each driven by a buffer version of the clock
distribution and with each chain kept to a maximum of 6 cascade devices. As an example, if there are 12 devices
in the system, the daisy chain connections can be divided into two groups of 6 devices and PCB trace length for
the reference clock output to input connection; each should be 1.5 inch or less.
7.3.16 INT
The INT line is an open-drain, 3.3-V tolerant, LVCMOS active-low output. The INT lines from multiple
DS100RT410 devices can be wired together and connected to an external controller.
The DS100RT410 generates an interrupt when it detects a loss of signal after previously detecting the presence
of a signal, or when it detects loss of lock after previously detecting phase lock. These interrupts are always
enabled. In addition, the horizontal eye opening/vertical eye opening (HEO/VEO) interrupt can be enabled using
SMBus control for each channel independently. This interrupt is disabled by default. The thresholds for horizontal
and vertical eye opening that will trigger the interrupt can be set using the SMBus control for each channel.
If any interrupt occurs, registers in the DS100RT410 latch in information about the event that caused the
interrupt. This can then be read out by the controller over the SMBus.
7.3.17 LOCK_3, LOCK_2, LOCK_1, and LOCK_0
Each channel of the DS100RT410 has an independent lock indication pin. These lock indication pins, LOCK_3,
LOCK_2, LOCK_1, and LOCK_0, are pin 16, pin 21, pin 40, and pin 45 respectively. These pins are shared with
the SMBus address strap lines. After the address values have been latched in on power-up, these lines revert to
their lock indication function.
When the corresponding channel of the DS100RT410 is locked to the incoming data stream, the lock indication
pin goes high. This pin can be used to drive an LED on the board, giving a visual indication of the lock status, or
it can be connected to other circuitry which can interpret the lock status of the channel.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
The DS100RT410 can be configured using two different methods.
• SMBus Master Configuration Mode
• SMBus Slave Configuration Mode
The configuration mode is selected by the state of the EN_SMB pin (pin 20) when the DS100RT410 is powered-
up. This pin should be either left floating or tied to the device V
DD
through an optional 1-kΩ resistor. The effect of
each of these settings is listed in Table 1.
