General Description
Designed for high-density communication solutions, the VSC9670 is the 28channel T1 Framer in Vitesse’
TimeStream™ product family. The
VSC9670 is a high-performance framer
device, with extended features for
highly integrated voice and data applications. The VSC9670 is capable of
terminating a single channelized DS3
interface or back-hauling 28 T1 lines.
Unique Scalable Time-sliced
Architecture
The VSC9670 uses a unique, patent
pending, scalable time-sliced state
machine architecture with internal context RAM to share logic for framing,
error and performance monitoring, fa-
cility data link (FDL), robbed-bit signaling, slip buffers and other functions. The
advantage of a shared state machine
and shared RAM architecture are
scalabilty and reduced gate count, resulting in a high density low power
design. The VSC9670 provides 3
methods for system connection:
Features:
• Integrates 28 independent T1
Framers in a single device
• Supports SF, ESF, pass-through
and Japanese J1 formats
• Encodes and decodes AMI and
B8ZS line coding
• Supports local, line, and per DS0
channel loopback
• High performance RX side robbed-
bit signaling FIFO interface to the
CPU
• Detects Loss of Frame (LOF),
Loss of Signal (LOS), Red, SF
Yellow and ESF Yellow and AIS
alarms
• Transmits Yellow and AIS alarms
• Programmable idle code substitu-
tion and data inversion
• Per DS1 channel jitter attenuators
(compliant with AT&T TR 62411)
• Detect and transmit in-band loop-
up and loop-down codes
• Provides line-quality statistics:
CRC-6, COFA, framing errors, and
BPVs
• Full and fractional T1 BERT in 64K
or 56K modes
• T erminates and generates ESF fa-
cility data link with a per-channel
128-byte FIFO interface to the
CPU
• Optional 2 frame slip buffers per
DS1 on transmit & receive side
