FemtoClock® NG Octal Universal
Frequency Translator
8T49N286
Datasheet
General Description
The 8T49N286 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 eight 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,
HCSL or LVCMOS output levels.
• Gigabit and Terabit IP switches / routers including support of
Synchronous Ethernet
• SyncE (G.8262) applications
• Wireless base station baseband
• Data communications
• 100G Ethernet
Features
This functionality 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.
• Supports SDH/SONET and Synchronous Ethernet clocks
including all FEC rate conversions
• <0.3ps RMS Typical Jitter (including spurs), 12kHz to 20MHz
• Operating modes: locked to input signal, holdover and free-run
• Initial holdover accuracy of ±50ppb
The 8T49N286 accepts up to four 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. The
other two input clocks are intended for redundant backup of the
primary clocks and must be related in frequency to their primary.
• Accepts up to four LVPECL, LVDS, LVHSTL, HCSL 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 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.
• Phase-Slope Limiting and Fully Hitless Switching options to
control output phase transients
• Operates from a 10MHz to 40MHz fundamental-mode crystal
• Generates 8 LVPECL / LVDS / HCSL or 16 LVCMOS output
clocks
The 8T49N286 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.
• Output frequencies ranging from 8kHz up to 1.0GHz (diff)
• Output frequencies ranging from 8kHz to 250MHz (LVCMOS)
• Eight General Purpose I/O pins with optional support for status
and control
• Eight Output Enable control inputs
• Lock, Holdover and Loss-of-Signal status outputs
• Open-drain Interrupt pin
The device places no constraints on input to output frequency
conversion, supporting all FEC rates, including the new revision of
ITU-T Recommendation G.709 (2009), most with 0ppm conversion
error.
• Write-protect pin to prevent configuration registers being altered
Each PLL has a register-selectable loop bandwidth from 1.4Hz to
360Hz.
• Nine programmable loop bandwidth settings for each PLL from
1.4Hz to 360Hz.
Each output supports individual phase delay settings to allow
output-output alignment.
• Optional Fast Lock function
• Programmable output phase delays in steps as small as 16ps
• Register programmable through I2C / SPI or via external I2C
The device supports Output Enable inputs and Lock, Holdover and
LOS status outputs.
EEPROM
The device is programmable through an I2C interface. It also supports
I2C master capability to allow the register configuration to be read
from an external EEPROM. The user may select whether the
programming interface uses I2C protocols or SPI protocols, however
in SPI mode, read from the external EEPROM is not supported.
• Bypass clock paths for system tests
• Power supply modes:
VCC / VCCA / VCCO
3.3V / 3.3V / 3.3V
3.3V / 3.3V / 2.5V
3.3V / 3.3V / 1.8V (LVCMOS)
2.5V / 2.5V / 3.3V
2.5V / 2.5V / 2.5V
2.5V / 2.5V / 1.8V (LVCMOS)
Applications
• OTN or SONET / SDH equipment Line cards (up to OC-192, and
supporting FEC ratios)
• -40°C to 85°C ambient operating temperature
• Package: 72QFN, lead-free RoHs (6)
• OTN de-mapping (Gapped Clock and DCO mode)
