[SI-LIST] Re: LVDS to TTL converter

Venkat.

In the telecom world in order to get from NRZ data ( clock and data ) to a bit 
error analyzer 3 more circuits are needed in the main path. Here is how it 
works for 45Mb/s DS3 US or 34Mb/s European Telecom data. The process is very 
similar at 622MB/s OC-12.

1st start with: NRZ data ( scrambled ) signaling

2nd circuit: B3ZS Decoder circuit to RZ data ( data+ and data- with embedded 
clock )  

3rd circuit: RZ data to balanced 110 ohm to 75 ohm transformer and unity gain 
buffer. With a 75 ohm output you can go to BER analyzer with 1 cable. This 
signal is bipolar with embedded clock and DC balanced.  The DS3 signal ready 
for BER analyzer!!

The bit error analyzer has a the reverse signaling process ( with RZ to NRZ 
Encoder ) to get back to NRZ data for BER analysis.  One can also make a simple 
bit error counter with NRZ data but this has to be implemented into the 
scrambler circuit.  ie: take the scrambler output and with 1 exclusive or gate 
compare the scrambled data to incoming data to count single bit errors. 

NRZ and scrambled DATA >> NRZ to RZ Decoder circuit >> Balanced RZ data to 75 
ohm ( transformer ) circuit>> BER analyzer. 

Here is an example of how to design a B3ZS encoder decoder circuit for 45Mb/s 
to get the basic idea.
