340 Gbps STS-1 Time Slot Interchange Switch
• Monitors cross-connect program memory integrity
Features
• Detects loss of signal (LOS) and checks input parity;
inserts output parity, scrambling, and descrambling
• 136
non-blocking, 6528
×
136 time slot interchange (TSI) switch with

• Transparent mode enables switching between ports at
2.488 Gbps independent of protocol
Signal level 1 (STS-1) switch matrix yields 340 Gigabits
per second (Gbps) of aggregate bandwidth
• Static bitslice and merge device capability supports other
VSC9295 devices in a bitsliced fabric
• Bitsliced switching mode provides 13056
× 13056
connectivity at half bandwidth (68 68 ports), making it
×
possible to construct a single-stage 680 Gbps fabric using
just four switches
Applications
• High-speed serial TSI-to-Framer interface (TFI-5)
operates at 2.488 Gbps with both equalization and
pre-emphasis and legacy STS-12 622.08 Mbps support
• Monolithic switching
• Central switch or bitslicing engine in 340 Gbps STS-1
grooming fabrics
• Provides hitless automatic reconfiguration of
TSI mapping
• Ingress or egress device for large, multi-terabit STS-1
grooming switch fabrics
• Supports split frame domain (two domains per device)
• Supports two overhead ports for dropping and adding
overhead bytes for automatic protection switching and
in-band messaging
• Synchronous transparent crosspoint switching for generic
circuit or packet communications
General Description
The VSC9295 is a 136-port, non-blocking time slot interchange (TSI) switch. It is typically used as either an interconnection
matrix or as an input or output backplane interface.
The device incorporates a fully non-blocking STS-1 switching matrix surrounded by serial backplane interfaces that provide
fully integrated clock recovery and synthesis, input equalization, and output pre-emphasis. It supports the high-speed
TSI-to-Framer Interface Level 5 standard (TFI-5, which is an STS-48-like frame) on each of its differential serial inputs and
outputs with optional STS-12 (622 Mbps) support on a per channel basis. It can also be user-configured to operate in
configurations with 68 × 68 ports with 4x bitslicing, 136 × 34 ports with 4x bitslicing, or as a static slice and merge device in
support of other Vitesse TSI devices in a bitsliced fabric application.
Additional ports on the device provide convenient access to TFI5/SONET/SDH-compliant scrambling, framing, deskew, and
alarm capabilities, as well as overhead byte dropping or insertion. Device configuration and status monitoring are provided
using a multimode, 53 MHz CPU interface.
