Product Description
The VSC9210 provides forward error
correction for any data rate and protocol operating up to 2.5Gb/s using a
block oriented Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (FEC) algorithm
RS(255,241). The device can be configured as a FEC encoder or a FEC
decoder utilizing two 16-bit differential PECL I/O ports to interface with
an external high speed multiplexer/
demultiplexer pair. Clock dividers are
provided on chip to facilitate control
of external PLL circuitry.
For the Encoder, the 1:16
Demultiplexer is used to convert the
incoming 2.5Gb/s STS-48 information
to a 16 bit parallel data at 155MHz to
interface with the VSC9210. After the
encoding process, the 16 bit parallel output data from the VSC9210 is obtained
at 165MHz and is converted to a
2.65Gb/s data stream using the 16:1
Multiplexer. In the case of the Decoder
configuration, the Demultiplexer operates on a 2.65Gb/s data stream while
the Multiplexer provides the 2.5Gb/s
STS-48 information stream. Clock dividers are incorporated within the
VSC9210 to provide control of an external PLL circuit for synthesizing the
necessary reference clock for the Multiplexer. In the case of the Bypass mode,
the input and output rates are identical
and both the Multiplexer and
Demultiplexer operate at 2.5Gb/s.

The User Channel is an 8 bit TTL
interface operating at 1.296MHz resulting in an aggregate data rate of
10.368Mb/s. This data channel is
encoded and decoded along with the
16-bit STS data, i.e. errors occurring
in this User Channel are also corrected.

The VSC9210 can be operated at or
below unencoded and encoded data
rates of 155Mb/s and 165Mb/s respectively. The ratio of the two input
clocks (INCLK and OUTCLK) must be
15/16 for Encoder operation, and 16/
15 for Decoder operation.
