General Description
The VSC8151 is a 2.488Gb/s Section Termination device which both monitors and modifies the section and
line overhead of a received SONET/SDH signal, and can generate AIS-L maintenance signals for trouble sec-
tionalization. These features allow all section termination requirements to be supported for Operations, Admin-
istration, Management, and Provisioning (OAM&P) functions in SONET/SDH terminal and optical networking
applications. An integrated 2.488Gb/s serial transceiver isolates the SONET/SDH signal interface, allowing
protocol information to be exchanged with programmable logic using a low-speed TTL interface.

Functional Overview
The VSC8151 is divided into two logic sections, a monitoring section and a modification section, each
interfaced externally through both 2.5Gb/s serial interfaces as well as 16-bit parallel interfaces. Incoming
SONET/SDH data is demultiplexed, framed, descrambled, and the 27 bytes of the section and line overhead are
output. The BIP parity of the incoming signal is calculated and compared with the received B1 and B2 bytes for
calculating received parity errors. The byte aligned data, calculated B1/B2 parity, and frame boundary location
