S2046/S2050
GIGABIT ETHERNET CHIPSET
The SYNC output signal will go high whenever a
COMMA character (0011111XXX, positive running dis-
parity) is present on the parallel data outputs. The
SYNC output signal will be low at all other times. This
is true whether the S2050 is operating in 10-bit mode
or in 20-bit mode.

Lock Detect
The S2050 lock detect function indicates the state of
the phase-locked loop (PLL) clock recovery unit. The
PLL will indicate lock within 2.5µs after the start of
receiving serial data inputs. If the serial data inputs
have an instantaneous phase jump (from a serial
switch, for example) the PLL will not indicate an out-
of-lock state, but will recover the correct phase
alignment. If a run length of 80-160 bits is exceeded
the loop will declare loss of lock. Input data rate varia-
tion (compared to REFCLK) can also cause loss of
lock. Table 4 shows the response of the PLL loop
circuit to input data rate variation. When lock is lost,
the PLL will attempt to reacquire bit synchronization,
and will shift from the serial input data to the refer-
ence clock so that the correct frequency downstream
clocking will be maintained.

Reference Clock Input
The reference clock input must be supplied with a PECL
single-ended AC coupled crystal clock source at ±100 PPM
tolerance. See Table 3 for reference clock frequencies.
Framing
The S2050 provides SYNC character recognition and
data word alignment of the TTL level compatible out-
put data bus. During the data realignment process,
the RCLKN phase will be adjusted, and the byte pre-
vious to the comma character will be lost. No glitches
will occur in the RCLKN signal due to the realign-
ment. In systems where the SYNC detect function is
undesired, a LOW on the SYNCEN input disables the
SYNC function and the data will be “unframed”.

When framing is disabled by low SYNCEN, the S2050
simply achieves bit synchronization and begins to de-
liver parallel output data words whenever it has
received full transmission words. No attempt is made
to synchronize on any particular incoming character.
