ACS8527 MUXPLL
Line Card Protection Switch for PDH, SONET
or SDH Systems
ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS
Description
FINAL
Features
DATASHEET
The ACS8527 is a highly integrated, single-chip, MUX with
PLL solution for protection switching between two SECs
(SDH/SONET Equipment Clocks) from Master and Slave
SETS (Synchronous Equipment Timing Source) clock
cards, for line cards in a PDH, SONET or SDH Network
Element. The ACS8527 has fast activity monitors on the
inputs and will raise a flag on a pin if there is a loss of
activity on the currently selected input. The protection
switching between the input reference clock sources is
controlled by an external pin.

High performance DPLL/APLL solution
Output jitter compliant to STM-1
Two independent SEC inputs ports (TTL)
Four independent output ports:
Two clock ports: one LVDS, one TTL
Two Syncs (TTL): 8 kHz FrSync & 2 KHz MFrSync
I/O frequencies configurable via hardware pins:
The ACS8527 has two SEC reference clock input ports,
configured for expected frequency by setting hardware
pins.
TTL I/O ports: spot frequencies 1.544 MHz to
77.76 MHz
LVDS output port: spot frequencies 19.44 MHz to
The ACS8527 can perform frequency translation,
converting, for example, an 8 kHz SEC input clock from a
backplane into a 155.52 MHz clock for local line cards.
155.52 MHz
Digital Holdover mode on input failure
“Loss of activity” on selected input flagged on
The ACS8527 generates two independent SEC clock
outputs, one on a LVDS port and one on a TTL/CMOS port,
at spot frequencies configured by hardware pins. The spot
frequencies range from 1.544 MHz up to 155.52 MHz.
The ACS8527 also provides an 8 kHz Frame Sync output
and 2 kHz Multi-Frame Sync output.
