7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The DS125BR401A compensates for lossy FR-4 printed circuit board backplanes and balanced cables. The DS125BR401A operates in 3 modes: Terminal Control Mode (ENSMB = 0), SMBus Slave Mode (ENSMB = 1) and SMBus Master Mode (ENSMB = float) to load register information from external EEPROM; please refer to SMBus Master Mode for additional information.

7.2.1 Functional Datapath Blocks

The Channel-B datapath is designed to handle higher levels of input attenuation and includes an output with a soft-limiting function to provide some transparency for Rx-Tx training in SAS-3 and other standards. The Channel-A datapath has less input equalization coupled with a linear driver. This combination has a high level of transparency, achieving greater drive distance in SAS-3 applications which utilize Rx-Tx training. The asymmetrical channel design follows the application diagram in .

The Channel-A and Channel-B data-paths are optimized to work as a transparent driver and a transparent receiver. The typical DS125BR401A system placement breaks a long transmission line into two pieces. This often leads to one short and one long piece, this unequal partition places different demands on A and B-Channels. To maximize channel extension with the DS125BR401A, connect the A-Channel Inputs to the channel segment with the lowest attenuation to the SAS-3 Tx.

7.3 Feature Description

The 4-level input Terminals utilize a resistor divider to help set the 4 valid levels and provide a wider range of control settings when ENSMB=0. There is an internal 30K pull-up and a 60K pull-down connected to the package Terminal. These resistors, together with the external resistor connection combine to achieve the desired voltage level. Using the 1K pull-up, 1K pull-down, no connect, and 20K pull-down provide the optimal voltage levels for each of the four input states.

Table 1. 4–Level Control Terminal Settings

Level Setting 3.3V Mode 2.5V Mode
0 Tie 1kΩ to GND 0.10 V 0.08 V
R Tie 20kΩ to GND 1/3 x VIN 1/3 x VDD
Float Float (leave Terminal open) 2/3 x VIN 2/3 x VDD
1 Tie 1kΩ to VIN or VDD VIN - 0.05 V VDD - 0.04 V

Typical 4-Level Input Thresholds

  • Level 1 - 2 = 0.2 * VIN or VDD
  • Level 2 - 3 = 0.5 * VIN or VDD
  • Level 3 - 4 = 0.8 * VIN or VDD

In order to minimize the startup current associated with the integrated 2.5V regulator the 1K pull-up / pull-down resistors are recommended. If several 4 level inputs require the same setting, it is possible to combine two or more 1K resistors into a single lower value resistor. As an example; combining two inputs with a single 500 Ohm resistor is a good way to save board space.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

7.4.1 Terminal Control Mode:

When in Terminal mode (ENSMB = 0), equalization and de-emphasis can be selected via Terminal for each side independently. When de-emphasis is asserted VOD is automatically adjusted per Table 7. For PCIe applications, the RXDET Terminals provides automatic and manual control for input termination (50Ω or >50KΩ). MODE_B setting is also Terminal controllable with Terminal selections (Gen 1/2, auto detect, and SAS-3 / PCIe Gen 3). The receiver electrical signal detect threshold is also adjustable via the SD_TH Terminal. For A-Side Channels this can only be used for status information, on B-Side Channels this threshold will determine when the output state, Mute if no signal is present or active with a valid input signal detected .

7.4.2 SMBus Mode:

When in SMBus mode (ENSMB = 1), the VOD (output amplitude), equalization, de-emphasis, and termination disable features are all programmable on a individual lane basis, instead of grouped by A or B as in the Terminal mode case. Upon assertion of ENSMB, the EQx and DEMx functions revert to register control immediately. The EQx and DEMx Terminals are converted to AD0-AD3 SMBus address inputs. The other external control Terminals (MODE_B, RXDET and SD_TH) remain active unless their respective registers are written to and the appropriate override bit is set, in which case they are ignored until ENSMB is driven low (Terminal mode). On power-up or when ENSMB is driven low all registers are reset to their default state. If PWDN is asserted while ENSMB is high, the registers retain their current state.

Equalization settings accessible via the Terminal controls were chosen to meet the needs of most high speed applications. If additional fine tuning or adjustment is needed, additional equalization settings can be accessed via the SMBus registers. Each input has a total of 256 possible equalization settings. The tables show the 16 settings when the device is in Terminal mode. When using SMBus mode, the equalization, VOD and de- Emphasis levels are set by registers.

The 4-level input Terminals utilize a resistor divider to help set the 4 valid levels and provide a wider range of control settings when ENSMB=0. There is an internal 30K pull-up and a 60K pull-down connected to the package Terminal. These resistors, together with the external resistor connection combine to achieve the desired voltage level. Using the 1K pull-up, 1K pull-down, no connect, and 20K pull-down provide the optimal voltage levels for each of the four input states.

7.4.3 MODE operation with SMBus Registers

When in SMBus mode (Slave or Master), the MODE Terminal retains control of the output driver characteristics. In order to override this control function, Register 0x08[2] must be written with a "1". Writing this bit enables MODE control of each channel individually using the channel registers defined in Table 9. For Channel-A outputs the MODE control bit is not functional. The outputs are always in a linear mode of operation. Changing these bits while Register 0x08[2]=1 will dramatically reduce the output amplitude.

(1) The VOD output amplitude is set with the DEMA[1:0] Terminals. For SAS-3 operation the DEM level is typically left at 0 dB (SMBus control = 000'b) in order to keep the output dynamic range as large as possible. DEM settings other than 0 dB or 000'b will decrease the output dynamic range and act to limit the OUTA VOD. When operating in Terminal Mode in a SAS3 environment it is recommended to use DEMA[1:0] = 10'b.

7.6 Programming

The DS125BR401A device supports reading directly from an external EEPROM device by implementing SMBus Master mode. When using the SMBus master mode, the DS125BR401A will read directly from specific location in the external EEPROM. When designing a system for using the external EEPROM, the user needs to follow these specific guidelines.

  • Maximum EEPROM size is 8 kbits (1024 x 8-bit).
  • Set ENSMB = Float — enable the SMBus master mode.
  • The external EEPROM device address byte must be 0xA0'h and capable of 400 kHz operation at 2.5V and 3.3V supply.
  • Set the AD[3:0] inputs for SMBus address byte. When the AD[3:0] = 0000'b, the device address byte is B0'h.

When tying multiple DS125BR401A devices to the SDA and SCL bus, use these guidelines to configure the devices.

  • Use SMBus AD[3:0] address bits so that each device can loaded it's configuration from the EEPROM. Example below is for 4 devices. The first device in the sequence must be address 0xB0'h, subsequent devices must follow the address order listed below.
    • U1: AD[3:0] = 0000 = 0xB0'h,
    • U2: AD[3:0] = 0001 = 0xB2'h,
    • U3: AD[3:0] = 0010 = 0xB4'h,
    • U4: AD[3:0] = 0011 = 0xB6'h
  • Use a pull-up resistor on SDA and SCL; value = 2k ohms
  • Daisy-chain READEN# (Terminal 26) and ALL_DONE# (Terminal 27) from one device to the next device in the sequence so that they do not compete for the EEPROM at the same time.
    1. Tie READEN# of the 1st device in the chain (U1) to GND
    2. Tie ALL_DONE# of U1 to READEN# of U2
    3. Tie ALL_DONE# of U2 to READEN# of U3
    4. Tie ALL_DONE# of U3 to READEN# of U4
    5. Optional: Tie ALL_DONE# output of U4 to a LED to show the devices have been loaded successfully

Below is an example of a 2 kbits (256 x 8-bit) EEPROM in hex format for the DS125BR401A device. The first 3 bytes of the EEPROM always contain a header common and necessary to control initialization of all devices connected to the I2C bus. CRC enable flag to enable/disable CRC checking. If CRC checking is disabled, a fixed pattern (8’hA5) is written/read instead of the CRC byte from the CRC location, to simplify the control. There is a MAP bit to flag the presence of an address map that specifies the configuration data start in the EEPROM. If the MAP bit is not present the configuration data start address is derived from the DS125BR401A address and the configuration data size. A bit to indicate an EEPROM size > 256 bytes is necessary to properly address the EEPROM. There are 37 bytes of data size for each DS125BR401A device.

Note: CRC_EN = 0, Address Map = 1, >256 byte = 0, Device Count[3:0] = 3. Multiple devices can point to the same address map. Maximum EEPROM size is 8 kbits (1024 x 8-bits).

7.7 Register Maps

The System Management Bus interface is compatible to SMBus 2.0 physical layer specification. ENSMB = 1kΩ to VDD to enable SMBus slave mode and allow access to the configuration registers.

The DS125BR401A has the AD[3:0] inputs in SMBus mode. These Terminals are the user set SMBus slave address inputs. The AD[3:0] Terminals have internal pull-down. When left floating or pulled low the AD[3:0] = 0000'b, the device default address byte is B0'h. Based on the SMBus 2.0 specification, the DS125BR401A has a 7-bit slave address. The LSB is set to 0'b (for a WRITE). The device supports up to 16 address byte, which can be set with the AD[3:0] inputs. Below are the 16 addresses.

Table 11. Device Slave Address Bytes

AD[3:0] Settings Address Bytes (HEX)
0000 B0
0001 B2
0010 B4
0011 B6
0100 B8
0101 BA
0110 BC
0111 BE
1000 C0
1001 C2
1010 C4
1011 C6
1100 C8
1101 CA
1110 CC
1111 CE

The SDA, SCL Terminals are 3.3V tolerant, but are not 5V tolerant. External pull-up resistor is required on the SDA. The resistor value can be from 1 kΩ to 5 kΩ depending on the voltage, loading and speed. The SCL may also require an external pull-up resistor and it depends on the Host that drives the bus.

7.7.1 Transfer Of Data Via The SMBus

During normal operation the data on SDA must be stable during the time when SCL is High.

There are three unique states for the SMBus:

START: A High-to-Low transition on SDA while SCL is High indicates a message START condition.

STOP: A Low-to-High transition on SDA while SCL is High indicates a message STOP condition.

IDLE: If SCL and SDA are both High for a time exceeding tBUF from the last detected STOP condition or if they are High for a total exceeding the maximum specification for tHIGH then the bus will transfer to the IDLE state.

7.7.2 SMBus Transactions

The device supports WRITE and READ transactions. See Table 12 for register address, type (Read/Write, Read Only), default value and function information.

7.7.3 Writing a Register

To write a register, the following protocol is used (see SMBus 2.0 specification).

  1. The Host drives a START condition, the 7-bit SMBus address, and a “0” indicating a WRITE.
  2. The Device (Slave) drives the ACK bit (“0”).
  3. The Host drives the 8-bit Register Address.
  4. The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
  5. The Host drive the 8-bit data byte.
  6. The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
  7. The Host drives a STOP condition.

The WRITE transaction is completed, the bus goes IDLE and communication with other SMBus devices may now occur.

7.7.4 Reading a Register

To read a register, the following protocol is used (see SMBus 2.0 specification).

  1. The Host drives a START condition, the 7-bit SMBus address, and a “0” indicating a WRITE.
  2. The Device (Slave) drives the ACK bit (“0”).
  3. The Host drives the 8-bit Register Address.
  4. The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
  5. The Host drives a START condition.
  6. The Host drives the 7-bit SMBus Address, and a “1” indicating a READ.
  7. The Device drives an ACK bit “0”.
  8. The Device drives the 8-bit data value (register contents).
  9. The Host drives a NACK bit “1”indicating end of the READ transfer.
  10. The Host drives a STOP condition.

The READ transaction is completed, the bus goes IDLE and communication with other SMBus devices may now occur.
