Preliminary Data Sheet
VSC838
Functional Description
Input / Output Characteristics
are allowed as described under the Input Termination section. On-chip terminations are provided, with a nomi-
nal impedance of 100 differential. All input termination resistors float with an internal bias provided for AC-
coupling.

circuit is capable of driving external 50 far-end termination (recommended). The output back-terminations are
electronically switchable to enable a power savings of 1W (max) by reducing the output driver current.
Programming Interface
Parallel Mode
that will be routed to the specified output. OUTCHAN[5:0] is the numerical identifier of the output being pro-
grammed. A rising edge on the LOAD signal will transfer the programming data to the shadow register in the
program memory. Raising CONFIG (asynchronously) will transfer the programming data to the main latches in
the program memory and cause the internal select signals in the core to re-configure the multiplexer. Lowering
CONFIG will latch the main latches. CONFIG may be tied HIGH to enable programming to take effect instan-
taneously.

gramming proceeds as above.
serial mode via the scan function.
Serial Mode
pin becomes the serial clock SCLK (rising edge triggered). A serial word of the form [Output][Input] is shifted
into the internal shift register, and the LOAD pin is asserted (HIGH) coincident with the last bit of the data word
to signal that the word is to be applied. This transfers the input identifier to the shadow register of the addressed
output. CONFIG is then applied (asynchronously) to transfer one or more program commands to the main
latches of the program memories.
to chain the serial ports of several crosspoints, shift program data for all switches through such a chain, and
assert LOAD on all switches simultaneously to program all of the connections simultaneously.
The input field is 7 bits long, representing the numerical identifier of the input that will be routed to the speci-
fied output.
All input data must be differential and should be nominally biased to +2.0V or AC-coupled. Other levels
For direct interconnection of multiple VSC838 devices, a CML termination mode is provided by tying the
Data outputs are provided through differential current switches with on-chip back-termination. The output
In parallel mode (SERIAL=0), the binary word on INCHAN[5:0] is the numerical identifier of the input
This interface may be used with multiplexed address/data buses by using only INCHAN[5:0] without
No read-back capability is provided in parallel mode. Read-back for diagnostic purposes is provided in
In serial mode (SERIAL=1), the INCHAN[0] pin becomes the serial data input SDIN and the INCHAN[1]
The SDOUT pin follows the data on the INCHAN[0](SDIN) pin 14 clock cycles later. This enables the user
The output field is 7 bits long, representing the binary numerical identifier of the output to be programmed.
