Figure 3 and Figure 4 have NSE-20Gs, but only one instance of this device is required to connect
all the SBSs. A likely packaging of this combined system would place the NSE-20G (and a
standby NSE-20G) on separate fabric cards. In Figure 4, four PM8315 TEMUXs align paths to
transport frames. Note: Figure 3 assumes this alignment.

The T8TE block, in combination with the PISO and TXLV perform 8B/10B coding and emits the
LVDS bit streams. These provide all analog and digital functions to launch a full-duplex 777.6
MHz serial SBI336S bus or 777.6 MHz serial TelecomBus on LVDS.
The microprocessor bus interface and in-band signaling units (ILC) provide a clean (error
checked) channel between the NSE-20G and SBSs. This can be used to send messages between
the NSE-20G microprocessor-and the SBS microprocessors in a user defined format.

6 Description
The PM8620 NSE-20G is a monolithic CMOS integrated circuit packaged in a 480 ball UBGA
that performs DS0 and above granularity space switching on 32 SBI336 streams carried as serial
SBI336S in 8B/10B coding over LVDS at 777.6 Mbit/s. The NSE-20G also performs VT1.5/VT2
and above granularity switching on 32 STS-12/STM-4 SONET/SDH streams, carried as Serial
TelecomBus signals in 8B/10B coding over LVDS at 777.6 Mbit/s.
The NSE-20G is typically used with up to 32 PM8610 SBS or PM8611 SBS-lite devices to
provide Memory-Space-Memory switching systems. As each SBS supports either four SBI buses
at 19.44 MHz or one SBI336 bus at 77.76 MHz, the overall system supports any mixture of SBI
and SBI336 byte serial buses, ranging from 128 19.44 MHz SBI buses to 32 SBI336 77.76 MHz
buses that do not exceed an aggregate bandwidth of STS-384, or about 20 Gbit/s. In TelecomBus
mode, the SBS devices support the same range of flexibility for 128 19.44 MHz and 32 77.76
MHz TelecomBuses at VT1.5/VT2 granularity
Central to the NSE-20G is a 32 x 32 cross bar switch. At every clock cycle, the cross bar
switches a byte of data with control signals from each input port to an output port. The byte of
data may be a DS0 channel from a T1/E1 or may be one byte of a column comprising a T1, E1,
DS3, E3, VT1.5, VT2 or STS-1.
NSE-20G™ Standard Product Data Sheet
Preliminary
In order for switching to take place all input and output streams must be synchronized. This is
done via the RC1FP input signal. When switching T1s, E1s, VTs and other higher order units only
SBI336 multiframe alignment is required. The same applies for TelecomBus mode where only
frame alignment is required.
An in-band control link over the serial LVDS interface allows the NSE-20G to communicate with
the microprocessors attached to the SBS, SBS-lite or other serial SBI336S devices. The effective
bandwidth of each inband link to each device is 8 Mbit/s. The inband link provides error
detection on 32-byte user messages and some near realtime control signals between devices.
Using the near realtime control signals, the NSE-20G is able to synchronize page switching,
indicate switchover between working or protected links, and exchange three user defined signals
(software) and 8 Auxilliary signals (software). The user and auxilliary signals can be used to
indicates interrupts or initiate handshaking between the end point microprocessors. The message
format is left to the user of the devices. The only constraint is that each message is a maximum of
32 bytes long.

Receive Serial Data. The differential receive serial data
links (RP[31:0]/RN[31:0]) carry the receive SBI336S or
SONET/SDH STS-12 frame data from upstream sources
in bit serial format. Each differential pair RP[X]/RN[X]
carries a constituent SBI336 or STS-12 stream. Data on
RP[X]/RN[X] is encoded in an 8B/10B format extended
from IEEE Std. 802.3. The 8B/10B character bit ‘a’ is
transmitted first and the bit ‘j’ is transmitted last. All
RP[X]/RN[X] differential pairs must be frequency locked
and phase aligned (within a certain tolerance) to each
other. RP[31:0]/RN[31:0] are nominally 777.6 Mbit/s data
streams.
Any unused, but available inputs should be tied low

Receive Serial Interface Frame Pulse. The receive
serial interface frame pulse signal (RC1FP) provides
system timing for the receive serial interface. RC1FP is
supplied in common to all devices in a system containing
one or more NSE-20G devices. In TelecomBus mode
RC1FP is set high once every 4 frames, in SBI mode
without any DS0 switching, or when switching DS0s
(WITHOUT CAS) RC1FP is also set high once every 4
frames, or multiple thereof. When in SBI mode switching
DS0s WITH CAS RC1FP indicates signaling multiframe
alignment by pulsing once every 48 frames or multiples
thereof.
A software configurable delay from RC1FP is used to
indicate that the C1 multiframe boundary 8B/10B
characters have been delivered on all the receive serial
data links (RP[32:1]/RN[32:1]) and are ready for
processing by the time-space-time switching elements.
RC1FP is sampled on the rising edge of SYSCLK.
Connection Memory Page. The connection memory
page select signal (CMP) controls the selection of the
connection memory page in the NSE. When CMP is set
high, connection memory page 1 is selected. When CMP
is set low, connection memory page 0 is selected.
Changes to the connection memory page selection are
synchronized to the boundary of the next C1FP frame or
multiframe depending on the mode:
4-Frame SBI/SBI336 mode:
CMP is sampled at the C1 byte position of the incoming
bus on the first frame of the four-frame multiframe.
Changes to the connection memory page selection are
synchronized to the frame boundary (A1 byte position) of
the next four-frame multiframe.
48-Frame SBI/SBI336 mode:
CMP is sampled at the C1 byte position of the incoming
bus on the first frame of the 48-frame multiframe.
Changes to the connection memory page selection are
synchronized to the frame boundary (A1 byte position) of
the next 48-frame multiframe.
TelecomBus mode:
CMP is sampled at the C1 byte position of every frame
on the incoming bus. Changes to the connection memory
pate selection are synchronized to the frame boundary
(A1 byte position) of the next frame.
CMP is sampled on the rising edge of SYSCLK at the
RC1FP frame position.
Reset Enable Bar. The active low reset signal (RSTB)

Chip Select Bar. The active low chip select signal (CSB)
controls microprocessor access to registers in the NSE20G device. CSB is set low during NSE-20G
Microprocessor Interface Port register accesses. CSB is
set high to disable microprocessor accesses.
If CSB is not required (i.e. register accesses controlled
using RDB and WRB signals only), CSB should be
connected to an inverted version of the RSTB input.
Read Enable Bar. The active low read enable bar signal
(RDB) controls microprocessor read accesses to
registers in the NSE-20G device. RDB is set low and
CSB is also set low during NSE-20G Microprocessor
Interface Port register read accesses. The NSE-20G
drives the D[31:0] bus with the contents of the addressed
register while RDB and CSB are low.
Write Enable Bar. The active low write enable bar signal
(WRB) controls microprocessor write accesses to
registers in the NSE-20G device. WRB is set low and
CSB is also set low during NSE-20G Microprocessor
Interface Port register write accesses. The contents of
D[31:0] are clocked into the addressed register on the
rising edge of WRB while CSB is low.
