Functional Description
The VSC8021 and VSC8022 are high-speed SONET interface devices capable of handling serial data at
rates up to 2.5Gb/s. These devices can be used for STS-3 through STS-48 SONET applications.
These products are fabricated in gall ium arsenide usi ng the Vitesse H-GaAs
achieves high-speed and low power dissipation. These products are packaged in a ceramic 52-pin leaded
ceramic chip carrier.
E/D MESFET process which
VSC8021
The VSC8021 contain s an 8: 1 multiplexer and a self-positioni ng t ime r. The 8:1 multip lex er ac cept s 8 parallel differential ECL data inputs (D1-D8, D1N-D8N) at rates up to 312.5Mb/s and multiplexes them into a serial
differential bit stream output (DO, DON) at rates up to 2.5Gb/s.
The internal timing of the VSC8021 is built around the high-speed clock (up to 2.5GHz) delivered onto the
chip through a differential input (CLKI, CLKIN). Thi s si gnal i s subsequently echoed at the high-speed differential output (CO, CON).
The parallel data inputs are clocked to on-chip input registers with an externally supplied differential ECL
input (BYCLK, BYCLKN) operating at the same rate as the data inputs. An internal byte clock, which is a
divide-by-8 version of the high-speed clock, is used to transfer the data to a set of buffer registers. This internal
byte clock is brought off chip at the ECL output CLK8, CLK8N.
Internal circuitry monitors the in ternal and ext ernal byte cloc ks and gene rates an ERR sign al if a timing
violation is detected. Thi s sign al ca n be gated to the SYNC input which is edge sensitive high. An active SYNC
input allows the VSC8021 timing to shift, positioning it properly against the external byte clock, CLK8,
CLK8N. When a CLK8 timing switch is made, normal data flow will be invalid for 1 byte.
There are two clock inputs, CLKI and BYCLK, going into the VSC8021. These two clocks serve as timing
references for different parts of the VSC8021. The BYCLK is used to trigger the input registers for the parallel
data inputs, while the CLKI is used to trigger the high-speed serial output register as well as some of the timing
circuitry for the parallel to serial conversion. Furthermore, in order to make this part easy to use, the user is not
required to assume a known phase relationship between CLKI and the BYCLK.
An internal Phase Detector and Phase Adjust Circuit are used to facilitate the two asynchronous circuits to
work with each other. The Phase Detector and the Phase Adjust Circuit work together to adjust the internal
clock CLK8 to make sure the set up and hold conditions are met for the inter nal regi sters. CLK8 is derived from
CLKI and the RCLK is a non-phase varying byte clo ck output. The edge sensitiv e SYNC signal is simply the
control signal that enables the Phase Detector circuitry.
As a summary, the CLKI is the high-speed clock input. The BYCLK is the external byte clock. The CLK8
is the internal byte clock deriv ed from C LKI, phase-adjusted if SYNC is enabled. The RCLK is a no n-phaseadjusted divided-by-8 clock generated from CLKI. The phase of RCLK, RCLKN is not affected by the selfadjusting circuitry, therefore it can be used as a system reference cl ock . RCLK, RCLKN can be use d by the system designer to generate BYCLK, BYCLKN. The self-posit i oni ng timer and R CLK, RCLKN allow for the creation of very tight parallel data timing for the VSC8021.

NOTES:
1) Negative edge is active edge.
2) The parallel data outputs only begin showing valid data after the last A2 of the SONET framing sequen ce. Th e exam ple
waveforms shown above use an STS-3 framing sequence for convenience, thus valid data is output after the third
