The STC3500 is an integrated single chip
solution for the Synchronous Timing Source
in SONET/SDH network elements. The
device generates four synchronous clocks,
including BITS, and is fully compliant with
Telcordia GR-1244-CORE, GR-253-CORE
and ITU-T G.812/G.813.
• Supports Master/Slave operation
• Supports Free Run, Locked, and Hold Over
modes

• Accepts 8 reference inputs from 8 kHz to
77.76 MHz and one 8 kHz cross reference
The STC3500 can operate in Free Run,
locked or Hold Over mode. In the Free Run
mode, it locks on an OCXO or TCXO. In the
locked mode, it locks on one of 8 input
reference clocks. The frequency of each input
reference clock can be user selected or
automatically detected by the device. The
active reference can be automatically selected
by the device based on a priority table or
manually controlled by the user. All reference
switches are hit-less. In Hold Over mode, the
device generates outputs based on the
• Continuous input reference quality
monitoring
• Input reference frequencies are
automatically detected
• Automatic or manual selection for active
reference
• Supports hardwire pins to select active
reference
• Four output signals: one selectable up to
155.52 MHz, one fixed at 8 kHz, one multi-
frame sync fixed at 2 kHz, and 1.544 MHz
or 2.048 MHz BITS output
frequency history of the last locked reference.
The STC3500 supports the Master or Slave
mode of operation for redundant designs. In
master mode, the device operates in Free
Run, locked or Hold Over. In slave mode, the
output clocks are locked to the master’s
primary Sync_Clk or 8 kHz synchronous clock
output and are phase offset adjustable.
• Output phase is adjustable in slave mode
• Frequency ramp control during reference
switching
• Hit-less reference switching
• Configurable bandwidth filter
Parallel or serial bus interfaces are provided
to access STC3500 internal control and
status registers.
• Supports SPI and 8-bit parallel bus interface
• IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan
• Available in FBGA144 package
Major operations can be performed from either
the bus interface or external hardwire pins.
