VSC8173
General Description
The VSC8173 consists of a 16:1 multiplexer and a clock generator for use
in SONET STS-192/SDH STM-64 systems. The 16:1 multiplexer accepts 16
parallel LVDS inputs at a data rate of
622.08Mb/s to 669.31Mb/s. This parallel data stream is then serialized into
a 9.953Gb/s to 10.709Gb/s output.
Both 31 1MHz and 622MHz data clock
input modes are supported. The clock
generator creates the 9.953GHz to
10.709GHz clock signal used to retime the transmitted serialized data.
The clock generator requires a 155 to
168MHz or 622 to 670MHz PECL reference clock input. T o ease timing constraints on the parallel interface, a 16bit wide FIFO is included. A dividedby-16 or divide-by-64 LVDS clock output is available for use as a clock input
to the parallel data source. Additional
features include Bit Order Swap and
Data Polarity Invert. To assist in monitoring device operation a Loss-of-Lock
alarm and internal temperature sensing are provided. The device is packaged in a modified 90-Ball Grid Array
(BGA).
