General Description
The VSC8173 consists of a 16:1 mul-
tiplexer and a clock generator for use
in SONET STS-192/SDH STM-64 sys-
tems. The 16:1 multiplexer accepts 16
parallel LVDS inputs at a data rate of
622.08Mb/s to 669.31Mb/s. This par-
allel data stream is then serialized into
a 9.953Gb/s to 10.709Gb/s output.
Both 311MHz and 622MHz data clock
input modes are supported. The clock
generator creates the 9.953GHz to
10.709GHz clock signal used to re-
time the transmitted serialized data.
The clock generator requires a 155 to
168MHz or 622 to 670MHz PECL ref-
erence clock input. To ease timing con-
straints on the parallel interface, a 16-
bit wide FIFO is included. A divided-
by-16 or divide-by-64 LVDS clock out-
put is available for use as a clock input
to the parallel data source. Additional
features include Bit Order Swap and
Data Polarity Invert. To assist in moni-
toring device operation a Loss-of-Lock
alarm and internal temperature sens-
ing are provided. The device is pack-
aged in a modified 90-Ball Grid Array
(BGA).
