APPLICATION INFORMATION

16-BIT BUS EXTENSION

In a 16-bit bus application (Figure 10), TTL data and clock coming from bus transceivers that interface the

backplane bus arrive at the Tx parallel inputs of the LVDS serdes transmitter. The clock associated with the bus

is also connected to the device. The on-chip PLL synchronizes this clock with the parallel data at the input. The

data is then multiplexed into three different line drivers which perform the TTL to LVDS conversion. The clock is

also converted to LVDS and presented to a separate driver. This synchronized LVDS data and clock at the

receiver, which recovers the LVDS data and clock, performs a conversion back to TTL. Data is then

demultiplexed into a parallel format. An on-chip PLL synchronizes the received clock with the parallel data, and

then all are presented to the parallel output port of the receiver.

16-BIT BUS EXTENSION WITH PARITY

In the previous application we did not have a checking bit that would provide assurance that the data crosses the

link. If we add a parity bit to the previous example, we would have a diagram similar to the one in Figure 11. The

device following the SN74FB2032 is a low cost parity generator. Each transmit-side transceiver/parity generator

takes the LVTTL data from the corresponding transceiver, performs a parity calculation over the byte, and then

passes the bits with its calculated parity value on the parallel input of the LVDS serdes transmitter. Again, the

on-chip PLL synchronizes this transmit clock with the eighteen parallel bits (16 data + 2 parity) at the input. The

synchronized LVDS data/parity and clock arrive at the receiver.

The receiver performs the conversion from LVDS to LVTTL and the transceiver/parity generator performs the

parity calculations. These devices compare their corresponding input bytes with the value received on the parity

bit. The transceiver/parity generator will assert its parity error output if a mismatch is detected.
