175MHZ, FEMTOCLOCKS™ VCXO BASED
SONET/SDH JITTER ATTENUATOR
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ICS843002I-40 is a member of the • (2) Differential LVPECL outputs
ICS
HiperClockS™ family of high performance clock
solutions from ICS.The ICS843002I-40 is a PLL
based synchronous clock generator that is
optimized for SONET/SDH line card applications
• Selectable CLKx, nCLKx differential input pairs
HiPerClockS™
• CLKx, nCLKx pairs can accept the following differential
input levels: LVPECL, LVDS, LVHSTL, SSTL, HCSL or
single-ended LVCMOS or LVTTL levels
where jitter attenuation and frequency translation is needed.
The device contains two internal PLL stages that are cascaded
in series.The first PLL stage uses a VCXO which is optimized
to provide reference clock jitter attenuation and to be jitter
tolerant, and to provide a stable reference clock for the 2nd
PLL stage (typically 19.44MHz). The second PLL stage
provides additional frequency multiplication (x32), and it
maintains low output jitter by using a low phase noise
FemtoClock VCO. PLL multiplication ratios are selected
from internal lookup tables using device input selection pins.
The device performance and the PLL multiplication ratios are
optimized to support non-FEC (non-Forward Error Correction)
SONET/SDH applications with rates up to OC-48 (SONET)
• Maximum output frequency: 175MHz
• FemtoClock VCO frequency range: 560MHz - 700MHz
• RMS phase jitter @ 155.52MHz, using a 19.44MHz crystal
(12kHz to 20MHz): 0.81ps (typical)
• Full 3.3V or mixed 3.3V core/2.5V output supply voltage
• -40°C to 85°C ambient operating temperature
or STM-16 (SDH).The VCXO requires the use of an external, PIN ASSIGNMENT
inexpensive pullable crystal.VCXO PLL uses external passive
loop filter components which are used to optimize the PLL
loop bandwidth and damping characteristics for the given
line card application.
The ICS843002I-40 includes two clock input ports. Each one
can accept either a single-ended or differential input. Each
input port also includes an activity detector circuit, which
reports input clock activity through the LOR0 and LOR1 logic
output pins.The two input ports feed an input selection mux.
“Hitless switching” is accomplished through proper filter
tuning. Jitter transfer and wander characteristics are
influenced by loop filter tuning, and phase transient
performance is influenced by both loop filter tuning and
alignment error between the two reference clocks.
