FemtoClock® NG Octal Universal
Frequency Translator
8T49N283
Datasheet
General Description
Features
The 8T49N283 has two independent, fractional-feedback PLLs that
can be used as jitter attenuators and frequency translators. It is
equipped with six integer and two fractional output dividers, allowing
the generation of up to 8 different output frequencies, ranging from
8kHz to 1GHz. Four of these frequencies are completely
independent of each other and the inputs. The other four are related
frequencies. The eight outputs may select among LVPECL, LVDS or
LVCMOS output levels.
• Supports SDH/SONET and Synchronous Ethernet clocks
including all FEC rate conversions
• Two differential outputs meet jitter limits for 100G Ethernet and
STM-256/OC-768
• <0.3ps RMS (including spurs): 12kHz to 20MHz
• All outputs <0.5ps RMS (including spurs) 12kHz to 20MHz
• Operating modes: locked to input signal, holdover and free-run
• Initial holdover accuracy of ±50ppb
This makes it ideal to be used in any frequency translation
application, including 1G, 10G, 40G and 100G Synchronous
Ethernet, OTN, and SONET/SDH, including ITU-T G.709 (2009) FEC
rates. The device may also behave as a frequency synthesizer.
• Accepts up to two LVPECL, LVDS, LVHSTL or LVCMOS input
clocks
• Accepts frequencies ranging from 8kHz up to 875MHz
• Auto and manual input clock selection with hitless switching
• Clock input monitoring, including support for gapped clocks
The 8T49N283 accepts up to two differential or single-ended input
clocks and a crystal input. Each of the two internal PLLs can lock to
different input clocks which may be of independent frequencies. Each
PLL can use the other input for redundant backup of the primary
clock, but in this case, both input clocks must be related in frequency.
• Phase-Slope Limiting and Fully Hitless Switching options to
control output phase transients
• Operates from a 10MHz to 40MHz fundamental-mode crystal
• Generates eight LVPECL / LVDS or sixteen LVCMOS output
The device supports hitless reference switching between input
clocks. The device monitors all input clocks for Loss of Signal (LOS),
and generates an alarm when an input clock failure is detected.
Automatic and manual hitless reference switching options are
supported. LOS behavior can be set to support gapped or un-gapped
clocks.

The 8T49N283 supports holdover for each PLL. The holdover has an
initial accuracy of ±50ppB from the point where the loss of all
applicable input reference(s) has been detected. It maintains a
historical average operating point for each PLL that may be returned
to in holdover at a limited phase slope.

ITU-T Recommendation G.709 (2009), most with 0ppm conversion
error.

512Hz.
• Power supply modes
Each output supports individual phase delay settings to allow
output-output alignment.
