4 APPLICATION EXAMPLES
When designing communication equipment such as access switches,
multiplexers, wireless base stations, and base station controllers the equipment
architect is faced with a common problem: how do I efficiently connect a large
number of lower speed ports to a small number of high speed ports? Typically, a
number of line-side ports (analog modems, xDSL modems ATM PHYs, or RF
modems) are terminated on each line card. Numerous line cards are then
slotted into one or more shelves and backplane traces or inter-shelf cables are
used to connect the line cards to a centralized (often 1:1 protected) common
card, hereafter referred to as the core card. The core card normally includes one
or more high speed WAN up-link ports that transport traffic to and from a high
speed broadband network.
A block diagram of a 1:1 redundant system is shown in Fig. 1.

In this type of equipment the majority (perhaps all) user traffic goes from WAN
port to line port, or from line port to WAN port. Although the individual ports on
the line cards are often relatively low speed interfaces such as T1, E1, or xDSL,
there may be many ports per line card and many line cards per system, resulting
in hundreds or even thousands of lines terminating on a single WAN up-link. In
the upstream direction (from line card to WAN up-link), the equipment must have
capacity to buffer and intelligently manage bursts of upstream traffic
simultaneously from numerous line cards.

In the downstream direction the equipment must handle a similar issue, the “big
pipe feeding little pipe” problem. When a large burst of traffic destined for a
single line port is received at the high speed WAN port it must be buffered and
managed as it queues up waiting for the much lower speed line port to clear.
The line cards are always the most numerous cards in this type of equipment.
An individual line card, even if it terminates a few dozen low speed ports, does
not generate or receive enough traffic to justify putting complex buffering and
traffic management devices on it. The ideal architecture has low cost “dumb”
line cards and a feature rich, “smart” core card. In order to enhance fault
tolerance, the architecture should also inherently support 1:1 protection using a
redundant core card and WAN up-link without significantly increasing line card
complexity.
A system architecture that keeps buffering and traffic management off the line
card will typically exhibit the following features:
1. Connection setup is simpler both in terms of programming and during
execution because there is minimal or no requirement for line card
intervention during the connection setup process.
2. In-service feature upgrades are simpler because feature complexity is
limited to the common equipment.
3. Component costs are reduced, while system reliability increases due
to reduced component count.
In this type of architecture there are often three stages of signal concentration or
multiplexing, as shown in Fig. 2.

The first stage resides on the line card and spans only those ports physically
terminated by that card. Since it is confined to a single card, this first stage of
multiplexing readily lends itself to a simple parallel bus based multiplex topology.
The second stage of concentration occurs between the core card(s) and the line
cards, including line cards that are on a separate shelf. This second stage is
best served by a redundant serial point-to-point technology. The third stage of
multiplexing is optional and resides on the core card. This third stage is used in
systems with a large number of line cards that require several S/UNI-VORTEX
devices to terminate the second stage of aggregation. Since the third stage of
aggregation is confined to the core card, it lends itself readily to a parallel bus
implementation. This three stage approach is implemented directly by the
S/UNI-VORTEX and its sister device, the S/UNI-DUPLEX.
The S/UNI-DUPLEX acts as the line card’s bus master. It implements the first
stage of multiplexing by routing traffic from the PHYs and transmitting the traffic
simultaneously over two high speed (up to 200 Mbps) serial 4-wire LVDS links.
One serial link attaches to the active core card, the other to the standby core

card.1 In the downstream direction the S/UNI-DUPLEX demultiplexes traffic from
the active core card’s LVDS serial link and routes this traffic to the appropriate
PHYs. If the active core card (or its LVDS link) should fail, protection switching
commands embedded in the spare LVDS link will direct the S/UNI-DUPLEX to
start receiving its traffic from this spare link.
The S/UNI-VORTEX resides on the core card and terminates up to 8 LVDS links
connected to 8 S/UNI-DUPLEX devices. The S/UNI-VORTEX implements the
second stage of multiplexing. More than one S/UNI-VORTEX will be required if
more than 8 links are required – as will be the case for a system with more than
8 line cards. The S/UNI-VORTEX device(s) share a high speed parallel bus with
the core card’s traffic management and OA&M layers, as implemented by
devices such as PMC-Sierra’s S/UNI-APEX and the S/UNI-ATLAS. This is the
third stage of multiplexing.

A single core card implementation is also supported, of course.

PM7351 S/UNI-VORTEX
6 DESCRIPTION
The PM7351 S/UNI-VORTEX is a monolithic integrated circuit typically used with
its sister device, the S/UNI-DUPLEX, to implement a point-to-point serial
backplane interconnect architecture.
Up to sixteen S/UNI-VORTEX devices can reside on a common cell processing
card along side a traffic management device. The traffic management device
exchanges cells with the S/UNI-VORTEX via 16-bit SCI-PHY or Any-PHY
interfaces. Flow control is effected across this interface via cell available signals
generated by the S/UNI-VORTEX. In the downstream direction, the availability
of a buffer for each logical channel can be polled by the traffic management
device. In the upstream direction, an indication is provided whether there is one
or more cells queued in the S/UNI-VORTEX for transfer.
Each S/UNI-VORTEX can be connected to eight line cards via 100 to 200 Mb/s
serial links. Each upstream link has its own queue. If a queue becomes nearly
full, a flow control indication is sent downstream. In the downstream direction,
each logical channel has a dedicated cell buffer to avoid head of line blocking.
The serialization of cells from the cell buffers is throttled by flow control
information sent from the line card via the upstream high-speed link.
A microprocessor port provides access to internal configuration and monitoring
registers. The port may also be used to insert and extract cells in support of a
control channel.
LVDS INTERFACES, BOTH DIRECTIONS
• 8 independent 4-wire LVDS serial transceivers each operating at up to 200
Mbps across PCB or backplane traces, or across up to 10 meters of 4-wire
twisted pair cabling for inter-shelf communications.
• Usable bandwidth (excludes system overhead) of 186 Mbps per direction per
LVDS link.
• Full integrated LVDS clock synthesis and recovery. No external analog
components are required.
LVDS RECEIVE DIRECTION
• Weighted round robin multiplex of cell streams from the 8 LVDS links into a
single cell stream which is transferred to the parallel bus under control of the
bus master.

PM7351 S/UNI-VORTEX
• LVDS link and S/UNI-VORTEX identifiers are added to each cell (along with
the PHY identifier already added by S/UNI-DUPLEX) for use by ATM layer to
identify the cell source.
• Back-pressure sent to far end to prevent overflow of receiver FIFO.
LVDS TRANSMIT DIRECTION
• Per PHY and microprocessor port back-pressure used on each of the 8 links
to prevent overflow of downstream buffers.
• Device polling: provides Utopia-like TCA status for 264 PHYs (includes 8
control channels) based on back-pressure from the LVDS links.
• Cell transfer: Bus master adds a PHY address to each cell via a 12 bit
identifier. S/UNI-Vortex decodes and accepts cells for its links based on
software configured base addresses.
PARALLEL BUS INTERFACE:
• Both directions: 16 bit wide, 50 MHz max clock rate, bus slave.
• Cells transferred to the bus: Utopia L2 compatible with optional expanded
length cells. Appears as single PHY, with a cell prepend identifying the
source PHY ID of each cell. Alternatively, Utopia L2 compliance is supported
by placing the PHY ID inside the UDF/HEC fields of a standard ATM cell.
• Cells received from the bus: The Any-PHY bus is similar to Utopia L2 but with
optional expanded length cells and expanded addressing capabilities. The
S/UNI-VORTEX appears to the bus master as a 264 port multi-PHY device (8
links, each with 32 PHYs & communication channel). PHY address is added
as cell prepend or optionally in HEC/UDF field when standard length cells are
desired.
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACE
• 8 bit data bus, 8 bit address bus.
• Provides read/write access to all configuration and status registers.
• Provides CRC32 calculation and cell transfer registers to support an
embedded microprocessor to microprocessor communication channel
over the LVDS link.

The high-speed receive data (RXD0+/- - RXD7+/-)
inputs present NRZ data from a serial backplane.
These are truly differential inputs offering superior
common-mode noise rejection. They have sufficient
sensitivity and common-mode range to support LVDS
signals.
These inputs are high-impedance. An external
resistor must be connected between the two pins of a
signal pair to terminate the transmission line. D.C. or

high-speed serial links.
The rising edge of RX8K is accurate to the nearest
byte boundary of the high-speed serial link; therefore,
a small amount of jitter is present. At a link rate of
155.52 Mb/s, the jitter is 63ns peak-to-peak.
Pulses on RX8K are always 16 high-speed serial link
bit periods wide (two REFCLK periods).

If RANYPHY is logic low, the interface complies to the
SCI-PHY specification. As such, all outputs have a
single cycle latency.
If RANYPHY is logic high, the interface complies to
the Any-PHY specification. Relative to SCI-PHY, all
outputs have an additional cycle of latency.
RANYPHY is an asynchronous input and is expected
to be held static.
RCLKInputD17The Receive FIFO clock (RCLK) is used to read words
from the S/UNI-VORTEX upstream cell buffer. RCLK
must cycle at a 52 MHz or lower instantaneous rate.
RSOP, RPA, RPRTY and RDAT[15:0] are updated on

queued for transfer.
Upon sampling a RADR[4:0] value that equals the
value on VADR[4:0], the S/UNI-VORTEX drives the
RPA with the cell availability status immediately if
RANYPHY is logic low. If RANYPHY is logic high,
RPA has an additional cycle of latency. RPA will be a
one if at least one entire cell is available.
RPA is high-impedance when not polled.

RENBInputA19The active low read enable (RENB) output is used to
initiate the transfer of cells from the S/UNI-VORTEX to
a traffic management device.
When RENB is sampled low and the S/UNI-VORTEX
has been selected, a word is output on bus
RDAT[15:0]. Selection occurs when RENB is last
sampled high if the RADR[4:0] value equals the state
of VADR[4:0]. RENB must be low for between 27 and
29 cycles to transfer an entire cell depending on
whether the cell contains prepended words or the
H5/UDF word.
If RANYPHY is logic low, valid data is driven
immediately upon sampling RENB low. If RANYPHY
is logic high, the RSX, RSOP, RDAT[15:0] and RPRTY
outputs have an additional cycle of latency.
It is permissible to pause a cell transfer by deasserting
RENB high. If RANYPHY is logic low, the S/UNIVORTEX’s address must be presented on RADR[4:0]
the last cycle RENB is high to reselect the device. If
RANYPHY is logic high, the cell transfer resumes
unconditionally when RENB is asserted low again. In
either case, a cell transfer must be completed before
another device on the bus is selected.
The Any-PHY protocol supports autonomous
deselection. If RANYPHY is logic high, the outputs
become high impedance after the last word of a cell is
transferred until the S/UNI-VORTEX is reselected. If
RANYPHY is logic low, a subsequent cell is
transferred (provided one is available) if RENB is held
low beyond the end of a cell.
When RENB is sampled high or the S/UNI-VORTEX
is not selected, no read is performed and outputs
RDAT[15:0], RPRTY, RSX and RSOP become high
impedance.
The RENB input is sampled on the rising edge of
RCLK.

The RADR[4:0] signals are used to address up to
sixteen S/UNI-VORTEX devices for the purposes of
polling and selection for cell transfer.
When a RADR[4:0] value is sampled that equals the
state of VADR[4:0], the RPA output is driven to
indicate whether a cell is available for transfer. If
RANYPHY is logic high, RPA has an additional cycle
of latency.
If the RADR[4:0] value equals the state of VADR[4:0]
when the RENB is last sampled high, the S/UNIVORTEX will initiate a cell transfer. If RANYPHY is
logic low, the device must be reselected to resume a
cell transferred that has been halted by deasserting
RENB high.
The RADR[4:0] bus is sampled on the rising edge of
RCLK.
The device identification address (VADR[4:0]) inputs
are the most-significant bits of the upstream polling
address space which this S/UNI-VORTEX occupies.
When the VADR[4:0] inputs match the value sampled
on RADR[4:0] inputs, the S/UNI-VORTEX drives RPA
to indicate the existence of queued cells. Otherwise,
RPA is high impedance.
VADR[4:0] are expected to be held static.

RSOPOutputB18The Receive Start of Packet (RSOP) marks either the
first or second word of the cell on the RDAT[15:0] bus.
When RSOP is high and RANYPHY is low, the first
word of the cell structure is present on the RDAT[15:0]
stream. When RSOP and RANYPHY are both high,
the second word of the cell structure is present on the
RDAT[15:0] stream.
RSOP is updated on the rising edge of RCLK and
considered valid only when the S/UNI-VORTEX
device was selected after the polling process and the
RENB signal is sampled low. If RANYPHY is logic low
RSOP is driven immediately upon sampling RENB
low, but it has an additional cycle latency when
RANYPHY is logic high. RSOP becomes high
impedance upon sampling RENB high or if the S/UNIVORTEX device is not selected for transfer.
When RANYPHY is high, autonomous deselection
occurs after the last word of a cell resulting in setting
RSOP high-impedance until reselection.
RSXOutputC17The Receive Start of Transfer (RSX) is only active
when the RANYPHY input is logic high. When
RANYPHY is logic low, RSX is low during cell
transfers or high-impedance otherwise.
RSX marks the start of the cell on the RDAT[15:0]
bus. When RSX is high, the first word of the cell
structure is present on the RDAT[15:0] stream.
RSX is updated on the rising edge of RCLK and
considered valid only when the RENB signal was
sampled low in the previous cycle and the S/UNIVORTEX device was selected after the polling
process. RSX becomes high impedance (with a cycle
latency) upon sampling RENB high or if the S/UNIVORTEX device is not selected for transfer.
When RANYPHY is high, autonomous deselection
occurs after the last word of a cell resulting in setting
RSX high-impedance until reselection.
