FEATURES

• Monolithic, SONET/SDH Transport Overhead Terminating Transceiver for use in STS-1, STS-3 (STM-1), or STS-12 (STM-4) applications.
• Operates in STS-1 bit-serial mode, STS-1 byte-serial mode, STS-3/STM-1 byte- serial mode, or STS-12/ATM-4 byte-serial mode.
• Compatible with PM5355 S/UNI-622 physical layer interface, PM5344 SPTX SONET/SDH Path Terminating Transceiver, and with commercially available 622 Mbit/s serial-to-parallel conversion devices.
• Performs byte-interleaved multiplexing of lower-rate, drop-side, SONET/SDH data streams.
• Optionally inserts the framing bytes (A1 and A2) and the STS identification bytes (C1) in to the transmit stream.
• Performs frame synchronous descrambling and scrambling.
• Compares the bit-interleaved parity error detection codes (B1 and B2) for the receive stream. Inserts B1 and B2 in the transmit stream.
• Inserts line Far-End Block Errors (FEBEs) into the Z2 growth byte based on received B2 errors.
• Accumulates near-end errors (B1 and B2) and far-end errors (Z2).
• Extracts and inserts the order wire channels (E1 and E2).
• Extracts and inserts the data communications channels (D1-D3 and D4-D12).
• Extracts and inserts the section user channel (F1).
• Extracts and inserts the Automatic Protection Switch (APS) channel (K1 and K2). The receive APS bytes are also filtered and extracted into internal registers.
• Detects Loss Of Signal (LOS), Out Of Frame (OOF), Loss Of Frame (LOF), Far- End Receive Failure (FERF), line Alarm Indication Signal (AIS), and protection switching byte failure alarms.
• Inserts FERF and AIS in the transmit stream.
• Provides LOS insertion, framing pattern error insertion, and coding violation insertion (B1 and B2) for diagnostic purposes. B1 and B2 error can also be generated “on-the-fly” using an error insertion mask.
• Provides a transmit and receive ring control port, allowing alarm and maintenance signal control and status to be passed between mate STTXs for applications in ring-based add/drop multiplexers.
• Low power, +5 V, CMOS technology. Device has TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs and outputs.
• Available in a high performance 208- pin copper slugged (28 by 28 mm) Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) package.
