Empowering Intelligent Optical Networks

Description
The S3455 SONET/SDH transceiver
chip is a fully integrated serialization/
deserialization SONET OC-48 (2.488
Gbps – 2.670 Gbps) interface device.
The
S3455
receives
scrambled Non-Return to Zero (NRZ)
signal and recovers the clock from the
data. The chip performs all necessary
serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial
functions in conformance with SONET/
SDH transmission standards. The device
is suitable for SONET-based WDM
applications. Figure 1 shows a typical
network application.

OC-48
On-chip clock synthesis is performed by
the high-frequency Phase-Locked Loop
(PLL) on the S3455 transceiver chip
allowing the use of a slower external
transmit clock reference. The chip can
be used with a 155.52 MHz (or
166.62 MHz) reference clock in support
of existing system clocking schemes.
The low jitter LVDS interface is compliant
with the bit-error rate requirements of the
Bellcore and ITU-T standards. The
S3455 is packaged in a 196 Pin PBGA,
offering designers a small package
outline.
Overview
The S3455 transceiver implements
SONET/SDH serialization/deserializa-
tion, and transmission functions. The
block diagram in Figure 2 shows the
basic operation of the chip. This chip can
be used to implement the front end of
SONET equipment, which consists pri-
marily of the serial transmit interface and
the serial receive interface. The chip
handles all the functions of these two
elements, including parallel-to-serial and
serial-to-parallel conversion, clock gen-
eration, and system timing. The system
timing circuitry consists of management
of the data stream and clock distribution
throughout the front end. The table
below shows the suggested interface
devices for the S3455.
