General Description
The VSC9180 is a SONET/SDH backplane transceiver with support for working and protection hitless backplane
1+1 protection. It is designed to serialize four STS-12/STM-4 signals, or byte interleaved SONET/SDH/OTN data
from 4-bit 622MHz or 16-bit 155MHz parallel buses onto redundant 2.5Gb/s serial backplane outputs. It receives two
synchronous and serial STS-48/STM-16 signals or G.709 OTU1 signals, recovers the clock, deskews them and then
hitlessly selects between the two. Hitless selection criteria can be derived from BER monitoring or signal integrity
monitoring. The selected signal is deserialized to a 4-bit 622MHz bus, a 16-bit 155MHz bus or quad STS-12s operat-
ing at 622Mb/s.
