GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The S3028 SONET/SDH transceiver chip is a fully
integrated serialization/deserialization SONET
OC-12 (622.08 Mbit/s) and OC-3 (155.52 Mbit/s) in-
terface device. The chip performs all necessary
serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial functions in
conformance with SONET/SDH transmission stan-
dards. The device is suitable for SONET-based ATM
applications and can be used in conjunction with
AMCC’s S3026 Clock Recovery Unit (CRU). Figure
1 shows a typical network application.
On-chip clock synthesis is performed by the high-
frequency phase-locked loop on the S3028
transceiver chip allowing the use of a slower external
transmit clock reference. The S3028 also performs
SONET/SDH frame detection. The chip can be used
with a 19.44, 38.88, 51.84 or 77.76 MHz reference
clock, in support of existing system clocking
schemes.
The low jitter PECL interface guarantees compliance
with the bit-error rate requirements of the Bellcore
and ITU-T standards. The S3028 is packaged in a
64 PQFP, offering designers a small package out-
line.
Since the S3028 jitter generation is better than the
ITU-T requirements over all reference frequencies,
the designer can meet the overall system require-
ment including the optical interface devices (refer to
Table 9 for jitter generation specifications).
