STRATUM 3 SIMPLIFIED CONTROL
TIMING MODULES (MSTM-S3-INT)
DESCRIPTION
MSTM-S3 PIN ASSIGNMENT
The Connor-Winfield Stratum 3 Simplified Control
Timing Module acts as a complete system clock module for general
Stratum 3 timing applicationsꢀ The MSTM is designed for
external control functionsꢀ Full external control input allows for
selection and monitoring of any of four possible operating states:
1) Holdover, 2) External Reference #1, 3) External Reference
#2, and 4) Free Runꢀ The table below illustrates the control signal
inputs and corresponding operational states:

In the absence of External Control Inputs (A,B), the
MSTM enters the Free Run mode and signals an External Alarmꢀ
The MSTM will enter other operating modes upon application of
a proper control signalꢀ Mode 1 operation (A=1, B=0) results in
an output signal that is phase locked to the External Reference
Input #1ꢀ Mode 2 operation (A=0, B=1) results in an output signal
that is phase locked to External Reference Input #2ꢀ Holdover
mode operation (A=1, B=1) results in an output signal at or near
the frequency as determined by the latest (last) locked-signal input
values and the holdover performance of the MSTMꢀ

Alarm signals are generated at the Alarm Output during
Holdover and Free Run operationꢀ Alarm Signals are also
generated by loss-of-lock, loss of Reference, and by a Tune-Limit
indication from the PLLꢀ A Tune-Limit alarm signal indicates
that the VCXO tuning voltage is approaching within 10% the limits
of its lock capability and that the External Reference Input may
be erroneousꢀ A high level indicates an alarm conditionꢀ Real-
time indication of the operational mode is available at unique
operating mode outputs on pins 1-4ꢀ
