8T49N287
Datasheet
General Description
Features
The 8T49N287 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,
HCSL or LVCMOS output levels.
• 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
• Accepts up to two 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
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.
• Phase-Slope Limiting and Fully Hitless Switching options to
The 8T49N287 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.
control output phase transients
• Operates from a 10MHz to 40MHz fundamental-mode crystal
• Generates 8 LVPECL / LVDS / HCSL or 16 LVCMOS output
clocks
• Output frequencies ranging from 8kHz up to 1.0GHz (diff)
• Output frequencies ranging from 8kHz to 250MHz (LVCMOS)
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.
• Four General Purpose I/O pins with optional support for status &
control:
• Four Output Enable control inputs may be mapped to any of the
The 8T49N287 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.
eight outputs
• Lock, Holdover & Loss-of-Signal status outputs
• Open-drain Interrupt pin
• Nine programmable loop bandwidth settings for each PLL from
1.4Hz to 360Hz.
The device places no constraints on input to output frequency conver-
sion, supporting all FEC rates, including the new revision of ITU-T
Recommendation G.709 (2009), most with 0ppm conversion error.
• Optional Fast Lock function
• Programmable output phase delays in steps as small as 16ps
• Register programmable through I2C or via external I2C EEPROM
• Bypass clock paths for system tests
Each PLL has a register-selectable loop bandwidth from 1.4Hz to
360Hz.
• Power supply modes
Each output supports individual phase delay settings to allow
output-output alignment.
