TriQuint's Fibre Channel transmitter (TQ9501) and receiver (TQ9502) are
part of the FC531/FC1063 (Fibre Channel 531 and 1063 Megabaud) chip
set. In addition to the transmitter and receiver, TriQuint offers the ENcoder/
DECoder (TQ9303 ENDEC). The TQ9501, TQ9502, TQ9303 and a gigabit
fiber optic module set provide a complete solution for Fibre Channel's FC0
and FC1 layers as well as partial support for the FC2 layer.
The TQ9501 and TQ9502 are designed in TriQuint's proprietary 0.7-micron
GaAs process, enabling the transmitter and receiver to run at higher speeds
and lower power than with conventional processes. The transmitter and
receiver data interface has been selected to be 10 bits in order to conserve
input/output power and to reduce pin count and package size. The trans-
mitter performs the parallel-to-serial conversion and generates the internal
high-speed clock for the serial output. The receiver performs serial-to-
parallel conversion, recovers the clock and data from the serial input, and
detects the K28.5 character (Fibre Channel standard "SYNC" transmission
character).
The TQ9303 ENDEC implements 8b/10b encoding and decoding, ordered
set encoding and decoding, parity checking and generation, 32-bit CRC
checking and generation, and word synchronization as defined in the
Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface Standard (FC-PH).
Fibre Channel provides a high-speed physical layer for Intelligent
Peripheral Interface (IPI) and Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
upper-layer command sets, High-Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI)
data link layer, and other user-defined command sets. Fibre Channel
replaces the SCSI, IPI and HIPPI physical interfaces with a higher-
speed interface capable of driving longer distances.

Fibre Channel is optimized for predictable transfers of
large blocks of data, such as those used in file
transfers between processors (super computer,
mainframe, super-mini, etc.), storage systems (disk
and tape), and output-only devices such as laser
printers and raster scan graphics terminals.
The Fibre Channel protocol is implemented in
hardware, making it simple, efficient and robust. The
lower-level physical interface is decoupled from the
higher-level protocol allowing the Fibre Channel to be
configured with various topologies, including point-to-
point, multi-drop bus, ring, and cross point switch.
Fibre Channel supports distances up to 10 Km at baud
rates of 132.8125 Mbaud to 1.0625 Gbaud. Copper
media such as Coax and STP (Shielded Twisted Pair)
are used for shorter distances while fiber optic cables
are used for longer distances.
Applications for the TQ9501 and TQ9502 include serial
SCSI, IPI, HIPPI, point-to-point serial communication,
ATM and other networking applications.
Functional Description TQ9501 Transmitter
The TQ9501 serializes a 10-bit TTL input into a
differential PECL output. The TQ9501 is composed of
an input register, a parallel-to-serial converter, a PLL
clock generator, a differential output buffer and a PECL-
to-TTL translator, as illustrated in Figure 1.
The self-contained PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) clock
generator requires no external components. It
generates an internal high-speed bit clock for the serial
output, an internal byte clock for the parallel-to-serial
converter and BYTECLK, based on REFCLK (REFerence
CLocK). BYTECLK is used by the TQ9303 ENDEC to
generate TXCLK.
TXD0..9 are latched into the input register on the rising
edge of TXCLK. The parallel-to-serial converter
serializes the data into a differential PECL buffer. TXD9
is sent first and TXD0 is sent last.

The LOOPEN (LOOP ENable) pin selects between the
two differential output pairs, TLX and TLY, or TX and
TY. LOOPEN = 1 selects the differential output TLX and
TLY, setting TX = 0 and TY = 1. Conversely, LOOPEN =
0 selects TX and TY, setting TLX = 0 and TLY = 1. This
relationship is shown in Table 1.

The PECL-to-TTL translator block is a differential PECL-
to-TTL translator. It is normally used for translating
PECL signals generated by optical receivers to TTL
signals to drive control circuitry.

Functional Description TQ9502 Receiver
The TQ9502 consists of a clock and data recovery
circuit, a multiplexer, and a serial-to-parallel converter
block, as shown in Figure 3. The multiplexer selects
between the RX and RY inputs or the RLX and RLY
inputs. Outputs RTX, RTY, RLTX and RLTY, not shown
on Figure 3, are provided for Fly-By
TM
termination,
which allows termination resistors to be placed away
from the chip. The multiplexer output is selected by the
LOOPEN pin as shown in Table 1. The selected data
goes to the CDR (Clock/Data Recovery) block.
The clock and data recovery block has two modes:
clock recovery and frequency acquisition. In the clock
input, it automatically switches to the frequency
acquisition mode which causes the CDR to lock onto
the REFCLK signal. This prevents the PLL from drifting
away from the serial data rate and ensures that the
CDR will properly lock onto the input serial data when it
is reapplied.
The receiver synchronizes 1 ms after applying power,
REFCLK and data. The receiver synchronizes 200
s
after applying valid data if power and REFCLK has
already been applied. The output of this block is latched
into the output register. When SYNCEN is high
(SYNCronization ENable), the serial-to-parallel
converter monitors the serial data for the K28.5
character. When it sees a K28.5, it realigns the 10-bit
register to the K28.5 character and drives SYNC high.
The clock generate block also detects SYNC going high,
and delays the phase of the output RXCLK to coincide
with the new alignment. Some bits may be lost during
the realignment. When SYNCEN is low, SYNC is driven
low and the serial-to-parallel converter ignores the
K28.5 character.
The output register takes in the 10-bit-wide output
from the Serial-to-Parallel Converter and drives the
RXD0..9 outputs. RXD0..9 are strobed on the rising
edge of RXCLK. CLKPOL = 1 results in a longer setup
time and shorter hold time than CLKPOL = 0. The first
serial bit is placed in RXD9 and the tenth bit is placed
in RXD0.
Fibre Channel Interface
Figure 3 illustrates a typical Fibre Channel physical
layer block diagram using the TQ9501, TQ9502 and
TQ9303 chip set. The interface between the host and
ENDEC operates at 26.5625 MHz with a data width of
32-bits for the transmit path and a separate 32-bits for
the receive path. The ENDEC performs the 8b/10b
encoding and decoding; ordered set encoding and
decoding; parity checking and generation; 32-bit CRC
checking and generation; and word synchronization.
The interface between the TQ9303 and the TQ9501/
TQ9502 operates at 531.25 or 106.250 MHz with an
encoded data width of 10-bits. The serial interface
operates from 531.125 Mbaud or 1.0625 Gbaud
respectively, which is connected to an optical, coaxial
or twisted pair interface.
For additional information on the ENDEC, please refer
to the TQ9303 data sheet.

Note that the fast edge rates of the TQ9303 TX bus
outputs can affect the stability of the TQ9501 PLL.
These edge rates can be effectively "slowed" by adding
some series resistance of from 90 to 250 ohms to the
TX data bus lines (TXD0..9) as shown in Figure 4.
Resistance should also be added to TXCLK to maintain
the correct timing relationship with the data lines. The
resistors should be placed near the TQ9303.
In cases where the line capacitance of the bus traces is
less than 3 pF, it may also be necessary to add from
1 2 pf of capacitance to each trace near the TQ9501.
The purpose is to slow the edge rates enough to
prevent potential undershoot from disturbing the power
supplies in the PLL circuitry of the TQ9501.
