FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The S3017/S3018 SONET/SDH/ATM transmitter and
receiver chips are fully integrated serialization/
deserializationSONETOC-12(622.08Mbit/s)interface
devices. With architecture developed by PMC-Sierra,
Inc., the chipset performs all necessary serial-to-paral-
lel and parallel-to-serial functions in conformance with
SONET/SDH transmission standards. The devices are
suitable for SONET-based ATM applications. Figure 1
shows a typical network application.
• Complies with ANSI, Bellcore, and ITU-T
specifications
• On-chip high-frequency PLL for clock
generation and clock recovery
• Supports 622.08 Mbit/s (OC-12/STM-4)
• Reference frequency of 77.76 MHz
• Interface to both PECL and TTL logic
• 8-bit TTL datapath
• Compact 52 PQFP TEP package
• Diagnostic loopback mode
• Lock detect
On-chip clock synthesis is performed by the high-
frequency phase-locked loop on the S3017 transmitter
chip allowing the use of a slower external transmit clock
reference. Clock recovery is performed on the S3018
receiver chip by synchronizing its on-chip VCO directly
to the incoming data stream. The S3018 also performs
SONET/SDH frame detection. The chipset can be used
with a 19.44 or 77.76 MHz reference clock, in support of
existing system clocking schemes.
• Low jitter PECL interface
• < 2.0 Watt per set typically
APPLICATIONS
• SONET/SDH-based transmission systems
• SONET/SDH modules
• SONET/SDH test equipment
• ATM over SONET/SDH
• Section repeaters
• Add drop multiplexors
• Broad-band cross-connects
• Fiber optic terminators
The low jitter PECL interface guarantees compliance
with the bit-error rate requirements of the Bellcore,
ANSI, and ITU-T standards. The S3017 and S3018 are
packaged in a compact 52 PQFP, offering designers a
small package outline.
