Receive Loss of Signal
Each of the serial NRZ transmit timing modes can be
configured in HW mode or SW mode as shown in
the table below.
The 78P2351 includes a Loss of Signal (LOS)
detector. When the peak value of the received
signal is less than approximately 19dB below
nominal for approximately 110 UI, Receive Loss of
Signal is asserted. The Rx LOS signal is cleared
when the received signal is greater than
approximately 18dB below nominal for 110 UI.

In ECL mode, the LOS signal will be asserted when
there are no transitions for longer than 2.3µs. The
signal is cleared when there are more than 4
transitions in 32 UI. It is generally recommended to
use the LOS status signal from the optical
transceiver module.

Synchronous (Re-timing) Tx Serial Modes
During Rx LOS conditions, the receive clock will
remain on the last phase tap of the Rx DLL
outputting a stable clock while the receive data
outputs are squelched and held at logic ‘0’.
In Figure 1, serial NRZ transmit data is input to the
SIDP/N pins at LVPECL levels. By default, the data
is latched in on the rising edge of SICKP. An
integrated FIFO decouples the on chip and off chip
clocks and re-clocks the data using a clean
synthesized clock generated from the provided

Modes.
reference clock.
As such, the SICKP/N clock
provided by the framer/mapper IC must be source
synchronous with the provided reference clock when
the FIFO is to be used.
Receive Loss of Lock
The 78P2351 includes an optional Receiver Loss of
Lock detector that will flag if the recovered Rx clock
frequency differs from the reference clock by more
than ±100ppm in an interval greater than 420µs.
This condition is cleared when the frequencies are
less than ±100ppm off for more than 500µs.

(Tx CDR bypassed, FIFO enabled)
If an off-chip serial transmit clock is not available, as
in Figure 2, the 78P2351 can recover a Tx clock
from the serial NRZ data input and pass the data
through the clock decoupling FIFO. The data is then
re-clocked or re-timed using a clean synthesized
clock generated from the provided reference clock.
In this mode, the NRZ transmit data must be source
synchronous with the reference clock applied at
CKREFP/N.
TRANSMITTER OPERATION
At the media interface, the transmit driver generates
an analog signal for transmission through either a
transformer and 75Ω coaxial cable or directly to a
fiber optics transceiver for electrical to optical
conversion.
At the host interface, the 78P2351 provides a
number interface options for compatibility with most
