GS2986 Datasheet, PDF (20/41 Pages) Gennum Corporation – Standards indication in Auto mode

The new LOS detector uses a measure of both signal amplitude and duration to minimize false
detection of the impulse like signals that are characteristic of cross-talk. In this mode, the signal
is tapped off at the output of the equalizer stage, prior to the high gain buffers.
The threshold setting within the detector can be adjusted to increase or decrease its sensitivity.
Gennum recommends using the least sensitive threshold level. This provides the most margin
against false de-assertion of LOS.

The LOS mode can be selected by using the host interface, in register TOP_1 (address 0x02).
4.7 Serial Digital Reclocker
The output of the Equalizer is fed to the reclocker. The function of the reclocker is to re-time the
input signal and to generate system clocks.
The reclocker operates at three frequencies; 2.97Gb/s, 1.485Gb/s and 270Mb/s, and provides a
minimum input jitter tolerance of 0.8UI to square-wave-modulated jitter at these rates.
When there is no serial input signal, the internal clock maintains a frequency close to the
expected incoming data rate by locking to the external reference crystal.
4.8 Lock Detection
The lock detect block indicates, via the active-high LOCKED signal, when the device has
achieved lock to the incoming data stream.
The lock logic within the GS2986 includes a system that monitors the frequency and the phase
of the incoming data, as well as a monitor to detect harmonic lock.
