Functional Overview
The VSC9142 is a dual mode SONET/SDH to Packet/ATM framing device that integrates the physical
layer components of 2.5 Gbps clock and data recovery and serialization/deserialization into a single device. In
the Packet over SONET (POS) mode, this device can be used in equipment interconnecting IP/PPP/HDLC data
over public or private SONET/SDH networks. Similarly, in the ATM over SONET (ATM) mode, this device
can be used in equipment interconnecting ATM switches. In addition, the VSC9142 can be used in various
applications involving LAPS (X.85/Y.1321) and Ethernet over SONET/SDH protocols.
Features of the VSC9142 include: Full insertion/extraction of the transport overhead, bit error rate and
extensive SONET/packet/cell performance monitoring, packet/cell filtering and discarding functionalities,
transmit and receive, JTAG TAP controller, and an 8-bit CPU interface with 8 general purpose I/O ports.
The high-speed component provides data and clock in the transmit direction, and selectable reference clock
frequencies and sources for both the transmit and receive directions. The VSC9142 can facilitate both internal
and external looptiming applications and also provides a 4-bit LVDS interface in both transmit and receive
direction for use in STS-192 applications. When using the 4-bit interface, the serializing/deserializing blocks of
the VSC9142 can be shut down for power savings.
This highly integrated device provides a complete low-power physical layer solution on a single chip for
Packet/ATM over SONET/SDH at the STS-48 rate.
