Design Constraints Overview
R
To calculate the blocking capacitor value, several factors must be known:
•
t
r
: The rise time of the signal
•
T: The bit period
•
N
CID
: The maximum number of consecutive identical digits (CIDs)
•
PDJ: The amount of pattern dependent jitter that can be tolerated by the system
From
it can be seen that PDJ can be estimated by:
Equation 11-1
The voltage drop can be calculated using
:
Equation 11-2
where:
•
τ
is the RC time constant (C is the ac coupling capacitor, R = 2 x R
TERM
).
•
t is the total discharge time, which is equal to N
CID
T.
Equation 11-3
Substituting
and solving for C gives:
Equation 11-4
To demonstrate the use of
, calculate the blocking capacitor value needed for
a serial link running at 3.125 Gb/s using 8B/10B line coding. This example uses the
following assumptions:
•
Bit period (T) = 3.200 x 10
-10
(3.125 Gb/s)
•
Signal rise time (t
r
) = 6.400 x 10-11 (0.2 UI)
•
Pattern Dependent Jitter (PDJ) = 3.200 x 10-12 (0.01 UI)
•
Consecutive Identical Digits (N
CID
) = 5 (guaranteed by 8B/10B)
•
Termination Resistance (R
TERM
) = 75
Ω
