VSC8021/VSC8022
2.5Gb/s SONET-Compatible
8-Bit MUX/DEMUX Chipset
VSC8022
The VSC8022 contains both a 1:8 demultiplexer and SONET frame recovery circuitry. The 1:8 demultiplexer
accepts a serial data input (DI, DIN) at rates up to 2.5Gb/s and converts it into 8 parallel differential ECL data outputs
(D1-D8, D1N-D8N) at rates up to 312.5Mb/s. Valid parallel data outputs are indicated by the divide by 8 differential
clock outputs BYCKO, BYCKON.
The VSC8022 also contains a SONET frame recovery circuit. The frame recovery circuits are enabled by a fall-
ing edge on the OOFN ECL input when the FDIS input is low. Once enabled, the frame recovery circuit starts look-
ing for the SONET framing sequence. Once the frame is detected, the word boundary is realigned, a confirmation
signal is sent off-chip through the FP ECL output and the frame recovery circuits are disabled. While the frame
aligner is hunting for the frame, BYCKO, BYCKON and parallel data are invalid.

Frame recovery circuits are disabled by frame detection (resulting in FP) or by a falling edge on the OOFN
input while FDIS is high.
