Description

The MARS2G5 P-Pro SONET/SDH interface device provides a versatile solution for quad OC-3, quad OC-12, and for single OC-48 linear datacom/telecom applications. Constructed using COM2 CMOS modular process, this device incorporates integrated SONET/SDH framing, section/line/path termination, pointer processing, and data engine blocks.

Features

■ One of the next-generation, system-on-a-chip devices of Agere Systems’ multiservice access & rate solutions MARSTM family of framers.
■ Transmission convergence and SONET/SDH terminal functionality for linear networks.
■ Versatile IC supports 155/622/2488 Mbits/s SONET/SDH interface solutions for packet over SONET (POS), packet over fiber (POF), or asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) applications.
■ Low-power 1.6 V/3.3 V operation.

SONET/SDH Interface

■ Termination of quad STS-3/STM-1, quad STS-12/STM-4, or single STS-48/STM-16.
■ Supports overhead processing for transport and path overhead bytes.
■ Optional insertion and extraction of overhead bytes via serial overhead interface.
■ STS pointer processing to align the receive frame to the system frame.
■ Support for 1 + 1 and 1:1 linear networks.
■ Full path termination and SPE extraction/insertion.
■ SONET/SDH compliant condition and alarm reporting.
■ Handles all concatenation levels of STS-3c to STS-48c (in multiples of 3: e.g., 3c, 6c, 9c, etc.).
■ Built-in diagnostic loopback modes.
