Anomolous operation of the RDOOLV bit (Register 0x07, bit 3 on page 50 of
the Issue 6 datasheet) has been noticed. Under certain circumstances, the
RDOOLV bit may falsely indicate data out of lock.
It is recommended that spurious RDOOLV indications be ignored, and that
the RDOOLE bit (Register 0x07, bit 1 on page 50 of the Issue 6 datasheet)
be programmed to '0' in order to permanently disable RDOOLV interrupts.
The RDOOLV bit should only be examined as a diagnostic aid in situations
where other major on-chip alarms are indicated.
Note: The anomolous RDOOLV only occurs in revisions prior to 'Revision D'
of the PM5346 S/UNI-155 LITE. Subsequent revisions, starting with
'Revision D' have this problem corrected. Software work-arounds as
indicated above will work with all revisions. For details on identifying the
device revision, please refer to the Branding Diagram.

An extensive analysis of loop filter requirements on the S/UNI-LITE was
performed. As a result of this analysis, the following changes are required to
the Issue 6 datasheet:
3.1 Page 111
On Page 111 of the Issue 6 datasheet, make the following changes:
Clock Recovery
Figures 14a) and 14b) are is an abstractions of the clock recovery phase
lock loop illustrating the connections to external components.
Figure 14a illustrates the asymmetrical loop filter application where the
external passive components (R1, R2, C1, C2) are set to different values
to account for the finite output impedance of the integral op-amp in the
S/UNI-LITE. The asymmetrical loop filter circuit provides maximum jitter
tolerance without jitter peaking and is recommended for all designs. does
not have good jitter transfer properties and is not re commended for new
designs.
Figure 14b illustrates the unity gain buffer loop filter application where the
integral op-amp output is buffered through a unity gain amplifier to
minimize the effect of its finite output impedance on the transfer function
of the PLL. The unity gain buffer loop filter circuit exceeds SONET/SDH
jitter tolerance and jitter transfer specifications and is recommended for
new designs.
Additional analysis of jitter transfer and jitter tolerance issues for the
S/UNI-LITE can be found in PMC's ATM Design Notes "Meeting
SONET/SDH WAN Interface Jitter Transfer Requirements with the S/UNILITE", PMC-950139

The capacitors (C1, C2) determine the amount of "peaking" in the jitter transfer
curve. The capacitor values can be ±10%. The capacitors should be nonpolarized because when the S/UNI-LITE is held in reset, the capacitors are
reverse-biased at approximately 2.0V. Also, for some process extremes, the
capacitors may operate with a D.C. reverse-bias of up to 1.0V.
The recommended values for the capacitors are not readily available in nonpolarized versions. Therefore, two polarized capacitors can be connected "backto-back" (in series, anode-to-anode) to implement each capacitance in Figure

14b. Since these back-to-back capacitors will be in series, they should be of
twice the value of the desired capacitance. This back-to-back configuration
effectively creates a "bi-polar" capacitor.

On Page 47 of the Issue 6 datasheet, make the following changes (under
LOOPT bit description):
The LOOPT bit selects the source of timing for the transmit section of the
S/UNI-LITE. When LOOPT is a logic zero, the transmitter timing is derived
from inputs TRCLK+ and TRCLK-.
When LOOPT is a logic one, the transmitter timing is derived form the
receiver inputs RXD+ and RXD- when clock recovery is enabled and from
RRCLK+ and RRCLK- when clock recover is disabled.
