SDH/SONET/ATM Transceiver
Datasheet
The Cortina Systems® LXT6155 155 Mbps SDH/SONET/ATM Transceiver (LXT6155 Transceiver) is a
high speed fully integrated transceiver designed for 155 Mbps SDH/SONET/ATM transmission system
applications. The LXT6155 Transceiver provides a LVPECL interface for fiber optics modules, and a CMI
interface for coax cable drive. These circuits are implemented using Cortina Systems, Inc.’s proven low
power 3.3V CMOS analog and digital circuits. The transmitter incorporates a parallel-to-serial converter,
a frequency multiplier PLL, CMI line encoders, and line interfaces for both coax cable and optical fiber.
The receiver incorporates an adaptive equalizer, a clock recovery PLL, Loss of Signal (LOS) detector,
CMI and NRZ decoders, a serial-to-parallel converter, and an SDH/SONET frame byte detector/aligner.
At the system interface, the LXT6155 Transceiver offers both parallel 8-bit and serial differential
interfaces. The LXT6155 Transceiver also operates in either Hardware stand-alone mode or Software
mode. Software mode is controlled by a serial microprocessor (µP) to program formats and operating/
test modes.

Functional Description
The LXT6155 Transceiver is a front-end transceiver designed for 155 Mbps OC3/STM1/
ATM transmission applications. Table 2 lists the standards with which the LXT6155
Transceiver is compliant.
The LXT6155 Transceiver interfaces to either a fiber transceiver or a coax cable on the
line side, and on the system side, to an SDH/SONET Overhead Terminator or an ATM
UNI. As shown in Figure 3, the LXT6155 Transceiver can function in Hardware standalone mode, or in Software mode controlled through an industry standard Motorola
compatible 4-wire serial microprocessor interface.

The LXT6155 Transceiver can be set to operate in either CMI mode for the 75 coax
interface or NRZ mode for the optical transceiver interface. The operating mode can be
set in either hardware mode by using the MODE pin, or software mode by using Primary
Control Register, bit 0.
3.1
Transmitter
In serial mode, the LXT6155 Transceiver accepts both data (TPOS, TNEG) and clock
signals (TSICLKP, TSICLKN). Serial clock signals are required for the LXT6155
Transceiver to run internal logic, reshape the line transmit pulses and generate the lowjitter clocks for Tx data generation.
In parallel mode, the LXT6155 Transceiver accepts data TPID and clock TPICLK.
TPICLK is internally multiplied by 8 to yield the 155.52 MHz clock for Tx data generation.
Both serial and parallel clocks (TSICLKP/TSICLKN and TPICLK) must conform to the
SONET/SDH standard frequency accuracy requirements.
Depending on whether the selected media interface is coax or fiber, the data is CMI or
NRZ encoded respectively, and passed to the appropriate line drivers. The LXT6155
Transceiver line drivers are high-speed buffers that meet the CMI templates and industry
standard LVPECL signal requirements. The CMI output pins are TTIP0 and TRING0, and
the NRZ LVPECL pins, TTIP1 and TRING1.

3.1.2
Coax Based G.703/GR-253 Transmission Systems
The LXT6155 Transceiver encodes and decodes CMI signals that are transmitted onto a
75 coax cable compliant with STM1/STS-3 CMI templates. Please refer to the CMI
templates shown in Figure 24 on page 45 and Figure 25 on page 46.
3.1.2.1
CMI Encoding
Coded Mark Inversion (CMI) is an encoding scheme adopted by SONET STS-3 and SDH
STM1 standards. CMI encoding guarantees at least one transition per bit, thereby
enhancing the clock recovery process. CMI encodes a “0” with a midpoint positive
transition, and a “1” as Low or High, in opposite polarity to the previous encoded “1”. Refer
to Figure 4, Figure 24 on page 45 and Figure 25 on page 46 for encoding and pulse
template information.

3.2 Receiver
Tx Clock Monitoring
The LXT6155 Transceiver provides transmit clock monitoring for both serial and parallel
operating modes. When using the crystal clock as a reference, the LXT6155 Transceiver
monitors the TSICLKP/TSICLKN or the TPICLK input(s) for transitions. If no transition is
seen within 200 ns, the tx_clk_alarm flag will be set (reg #15) and the transmitter outputs
ttip1/tring1 or ttip0/tring0 will stop sending data to the line. This condition will remain until
the LXT6155 Transceiver detects clock transitions at the transmitter input(s) TSICLKP/
TSICLKN or TPICLK. Transmit clock monitoring can be disabled in software mode only.
In remote loopback, transmit clock monitoring is disabled in SW and HW mode. In SW
mode, when using transmit clocks as the receive PLL reference, the user must disable
transmit clock monitoring by setting reg #1 bit low.
3.2
Receiver
3.2.1
Analog Front End and Timing Recovery
3.2.1.1
CMI Mode
Received data on RTIP/RRING goes through an adaptive equalizer. An adaptive f
equalizer and adaptive Automatic Gain Control (AGC) compensate the frequency-andcable length dependent loss in data signal, and reshapes the signal to the optimal
waveform. A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) then performs clock recovery operation,
comparing the reshaped data phase against the receive output clock phase. The receive
PLL requires an external reference (e.g. transmit input clock or XTAL clock) to start up the
clock recovery process. This clock can be derived from XTALIN, TPICLK or TSICLK (8).
The recovered clock is used to retime the CMI signals, and to decode CMI to NRZ. Coding
errors are detected and flagged via the CMIERR pin in HW mode with the frame detect
disabled or in serial mode. In software mode (HWSEL = High) CMI coding errors are
indicated via the P interface interrupt register: Reg #15, mode 05.
3.2.1.2
NRZ Mode
The on chip adaptive equalizer is bypassed. Data goes straight to the clock recovery
phase locked loop. The PLL then performs clock recovery operation, comparing the data
phase against the clock phase. This clock can be derived from XTALIN, TPICLK or
TSICLK (8). The receive PLL requires an external reference (for example, a transmit
input clock or XTAL clock) to start up the clock recovery process.
The recovered clock is used to retime the data signals. When the recovered clock is within
488 ppm of the reference clock, the LOCK signal asserts. This alarm is also accessible on
the P interface as a status bit (Reg #15, mode 0) and as an interrupt (Reg #15, mode
05). Once the recovered clock has been obtained and the NRZ data has been recovered,
the LXT6155 Transceiver performs frame-detect-and-byte-alignment, and serial-toparallel conversion. The LXT6155 Transceiver optionally provides output data
RPOD aligned to the SDH/SONET byte boundary. The user has the option to
enable/disable the frame-alignment function in both hardware and software mode. The
frame detect/byte alignment function generates the receive output frame pulse (ROFP). In
HW mode (HWSEL = Low) ROFP asserts (high) on the third A2 byte. In SW mode
(HWSEL = High) this position is programmable via register #13, bits . When byte
alignment is disabled and the LXT6155 Transceiver is in CMI mode, the ROFP pin
indicates CMI coding errors including polarity errors for ones and inversion errors for
zeroes.

The clock recovery PLL’s center frequency comes from either the local crystal or a stable
transmit input clock (TSICLKP/TSICLKN or TPICLK). If operated in loop-timed mode or
remote loopback mode, an external reference clock must be used to center the internal
PLL clock. In remote loopback, the receive reference remains either XTALIN or TSICLK or
TPICLK, depending on the control selection. If an independent and stable transmit clock is
available, the designer has the option of applying this clock to pin XTALIN to center the
PLL, without the external crystal.
The user can also replace the crystal by connecting the TPICLK (19.44 MHz) signal to the
XTALIN pin. However, a local crystal is recommended for “keep alive” purposes in case
the clock becomes unavailable.
3.2.2
Receive Frame Detect and Byte Alignment
Receive Frame Detection only operates in parallel mode, if Frame Detection is enabled.
The LXT6155 Transceiver provides aligned bytes RPOD following the distinct
SONET OC3/STM1 frame marker word, 3 x A1, followed by 3 x A2, where A1=F6h and
A2=28h. The Receive Output Frame Pulse (ROFP) asserts during the third A2 byte, and
de-asserts after one complete RPOCLK clock period. If this feature is used, it can be
enabled in register #12 bit in software mode1, or by setting the RIFE (pin 15) high in
hardware mode prior to applying data to Rtip/Rring. Two consecutive frames with correct
frame words (A1… A1 A2…A2) are required to change from an out-of-frame state (OOF) to
an in-frame state. The OOF alarm is accessible in SW mode (HWSEL = High) as a status
or interrupt signal (Reg #15). To declare an OOF condition, four consecutive frames with
incorrect frame words are required. Byte alignment occurs when entering the in-frame
state. In case of an OOF event, the byte alignment and frame pulse position are frozen.
The ROFP output continues unchanged until re-entering the in-frame state.

Loss of Signal (LOS)
Loss of Signal provides an alarm signal indicating incoming signal voltage is weak or
incoming data does not contain enough transitions. This signal is available in HW mode
on pin #45 and in SW mode as status and interrupt (Reg #15, modes 00 and 05).
During power-up, the LOS state machine may be stuck in an incorrect state until the
LXT6155 Transceiver receives a transmit clock (TPICLK or TSICLKP/TSICLKN). For
correct initialization in serial mode, a clock or local crystal should also be applied on
XTALIN. The LOS alarm should be ignored until the clock(s) is in place.
3.2.2.2
Coax Interface
Loss of Signal provides an alarm output that indicates weak line input signal. The LOS
signal asserts when the incoming signals fall below a specified loss threshold, and deasserts when the line signal rises nominally 2 dB above the assert threshold, as shown in
Figure 7 on page 18. The threshold is adjustable in SW mode (HWSEL = High) via the
Processor interface.

3.2.2.3
Fiber Interface
If no transition is detected during any 3112 bit times (20 sec), LOS asserts. LOS is
cleared when two consecutive frame words with no LOS events between then are
received. In SW mode (HWSEL = High) the assertion window is programmable from 128
bits to 4096 bits in four steps. The de-assertion criteria can also be configured to 12.5%
transition density. The 12.5% density is determined by receipt of at least 4 transitions
during a 32-bit sliding window.

Clocks
3.3.1
Parallel Mode
3.3 Clocks
The LXT6155 Transceiver accepts TPICLK synchronized with transmit input parallel data
TPID. The data is serialized and transmitted at TTIP0/TRING0 or TTIP1/TRING1
depending on which line encoding mode is selected. The LXT6155 Transceiver in turn
produces the receive output parallel clock RPOCLK, that is recovered from incoming line
data RTIP/RRING, and is synchronized with receive output parallel data RPOD.
3.3.1.1
Transmit Parallel Input Clock (TPICLK)
TPICLK is the transmit parallel input clock provided by the systems interface. This clock
must be nominally 19.44 MHz, synchronized with parallel input data TPID. This
clock is then internally multiplied by 8 to produce a serial clock, used for parallel-to-serial
conversion, line drivers, and pulse reshaping. In HW mode (HWSEL = Low), TPID data is
sampled on the falling edge of TPICLK. In SW mode (HWSEL = High), the clock polarity
can be inverted (Reg #0, bit #3).
3.3.1.2
Receive Parallel Output Clock (RPOCLK)
RPOCLK is the parallel output clock that is recovered from the line input data RTIP/
RRING. This clock is at 19.44 MHz, synchronized with parallel output data RP0D. In
HW mode (HWSEL = Low), the RPOCLK clock rising edge is at the center of eye opening
of RPOD as shown in Figure 21. In SW mode (HWSEL = High), the clock polarity
can be inverted (Reg #0, bit #2). Under LOS (LOS=High) or Rx PLL loss of lock
(LOCK=Low) conditions RPOCLK is switched to the reference selected by the CIS control
in HW mode, or Reg #0 bit #5 in SW mode. Also, the parallel output is forced to all zeros.
This feature can be disabled in SW mode (HWSEL = High) via register #10, bit #7.
3.3.2
Serial Mode
At the transmit systems interface, the LXT6155 Transceiver accepts the transmit input
clock TSICLKP/TSICLKN that is synchronized to incoming serial differential data TPOS/
TNEG. At the line interface, the LXT6155 Transceiver accepts RTIP/RRING data and
produces the clocks RSOCLKP/RSOCLKN synchronized to receive output data RPOS/
RNEG. RSOCLKP/RSOCLKN clock edges are at the center of RPOS/RNEG.
3.3.2.1
Transmit Serial Input Clock (TSICLKP/TSICLKN)
TSICLKP/TSICLKN is the serial input clock from the overhead terminator. This
155.52 MHz clock is rising edge centered with input serial data on TPOS and TNEG.
These clock pins should be left open when the LXT6155 Transceiver operates in parallel
mode.
3.3.2.2
Receive Serial Output Clock (RSOCLKP/RSOCLKN)
RSOCLKP/RSOCLKN is the serial clock recovered from the line input data on RTIP/
RRING. This 155.52 MHz clock is falling edge centered with receive serial output data on
RPOS/RNEG. These clock pins should be left open when the LXT6155 Transceiver
operates in parallel mode. Under LOS (LOS=High) or Rx PLL loss of lock (LOCK=Low)
conditions RSOCLK P/N is switched to the Tx serial clock. Also the serial output data is
forced to all zeros. This feature can be disabled in SW mode (HWSEL = High) via register
#10, bit #7.

3.4 Jitter
Crystal Reference Clock (XTALIN/XTALOUT)
An optional 19.44 MHz crystal can be connected across the XTALIN and XTALOUT pins.
This crystal reference provides an onchip clock that is independent of the external system
clock (TSICLKP/TSICLKN or TPICLK). The main functions of the crystal reference clock
are threefold: (1) to center the receive PLL at 155 MHz, (2) to keep the PLL centered at
155 MHz when LOS asserts, and (3) In the event incoming data is lost, to provide a
reference clock for other devices which require it. The designer has the option to use this
crystal reference clock or the transmit input clock (TSICLKP/TSICLKN or TPICLK) to
center the receive PLL.
Refer to Section Section 3.2.2.1, Loss of Signal (LOS), on page 18 for clock requirements
relating to the LOS alarm signal.
3.4
Jitter
The Bellcore GR-253 standard defines jitter as the “short-term variations of a digital
signal’s significant instants from their ideal positions in time”. Significant instants are the
optimum data sampling instants. Jitter parameters can be measured at the line interface,
with system interface in loopback mode, yielding jitter accumulated in both transmitter and
receiver. Isolated jitter measurements for transmitter and receiver can also be performed.
Jitter specs are divided into three categories: jitter tolerance, jitter generation, and jitter
transfer. Jitter values, in effect, measure the performance of the receive PLL and the
transmit synthesizer PLL.
3.4.1
Jitter Tolerance
Jitter tolerance is the peak-to-peak amplitude of sinusoidal jitter applied at the line
interface input that causes an equivalent 1 dB SNR loss measured as BER = 10-10. Refer
to Figure 26 on page 47 for the LXT6155 Transceiver performance.
3.4.2
Jitter Generation (Intrinsic Jitter)
Jitter generation is the amount of transmit jitter at the output of the equipment with a jitterfree transmit input data and clock. For SONET/SDH, jitter generation is less than 0.01 UI
rms, measured with a band-pass filter from 12 kHz to 1.3 MHz. Refer to Figure 27 on
page 48 for the LXT6155 Transceiver performance.
3.4.3
Jitter Transfer
Jitter transfer is defined as the ratio of output jitter to input jitter amplitude versus jitter
frequency for a given bit rate. Input jitter amplitude is shown in the Jitter Tolerance curve.
Output jitter is under the Jitter Transfer template. Refer to Figure 27 on page 48 and
Figure 28 on page 48 for the LXT6155 Transceiver performance.
3.5
Operational Modes
The LXT6155 Transceiver functions in both Hardware standalone and Software modes.
The operating mode is set by the state of the HWSEL pin.

3.5 Operational Modes
XTAL
XTAL is an optional clock, created using an external crystal, connected across the XTALIN
and XTALOUT pins. The crystal provides an independent and stable clock source. This
clock is also used as the reference for the Tx clock monitoring circuitry and the Rx LOS
state machine.
3.5.1.2
Loopback Test (RLIS and LLIS pins)
The LXT6155 Transceiver allows two types of loopback test: Remote loopback and Local
loopback. In Remote loopback, the received data and clock are looped back to the
transmit line interface. The LXT6155 Transceiver still outputs recovered data and clock at
the system interface. In Local loopback, the transmit data is looped back to the receive
input at the line interface. The LXT6155 Transceiver also transmit data onto the line
interface while looping back. For descriptive diagrams, please refer to Figure 14 on
page 26 and Figure 15 on page 26.

Description
Low
Sets LVPECL NRZ mode to interface to a fiber optic module. CMI related blocks (e.g. input/output
buffers, equalizer) are disabled.
High
Sets CMI mode to interface to a transformer and a 75 coax cable. NRZ related input/output
buffers are disabled.
Parallel/Serial Mode Selection (SP pin)
In Hardware Mode, HWSEL = Low, the LXT6155 Transceiver can be set to operate in
serial or parallel data mode, depending on how the Serial/Parallel SP pin is set.
Setting the SP pin = High sets the LXT6155 Transceiver to an 8-bit parallel mode. Parallel
pins TPID, TPICLK, RPOD, ROFP, RPOCLK, LOCK and LOS are be used.
Serial pins TPOS, TNEG, TSICLKP, TSICLKN, RPOS, RNEG, RSOCLKP, RSOCLKN are
unused and should be left open.
Setting the SP pin = Low sets the LXT6155 Transceiver to serial mode. Pins TPOS,
TNEG, TSICLKP, TSICLKN, RPOS, RNEG, RSOCLKP, RSOCLKN, LOCK and LOS are

3.5 Operational Modes
Tx Amplitude Trim
In Hardware, serial, coax mode, the line driver output amplitude can be controlled via pins
16 to 20. Setting TXTRIMENA (pin #20) high enables the trim capability. The trim range is
-21% to +24% in 3% steps controlled by TXTRIM0-TXTRIM3. The minimum amplitude is
at 0000 and the maximum amplitude is at 1111. This is the same control range as in SW
mode.
3.5.2
Software Mode
When HWSEL = High, the LXT6155 Transceiver operates in Software Mode. Control is
through an external serial P interface. Figure 9 shows the pins used in Software Mode.
The LXT6155 Transceiver uses four pins for the industry standard Serial Control Interface
(SCP) bus: SCLK, CS, SDI and SDO. SCLK is the serial input control clock pin. CS is the
chip select input. SDI is the serial data input pin, and SDO is the serial data output pin.
Figure 10 and Figure 11 show the serial interface data structure. A data transaction is
initiated by a falling edge on the Chip Select pin CS. A High-to-Low transition on CS is
required for each access to the control registers. The first bit is a read/write bit (R/W),
followed by seven address bits (A), and eight data bits (D). Every data
transaction requires 16 SCLK cycles to complete. If R/W = High (Read), the LXT6155
Transceiver outputs a data byte D on the SDO pin. If R/W = Low (Write), the
LXT6155 Transceiver accepts a data byte D on the SDI pin, while tristating SDO pin.
It is recommended in SW mode operation, the registers are first initialized by writing a “0”
to register #11 bit #6 (reset).
3.5.2.1
Serial Input Clock (SCLK)
This pin accepts a clock up to 4.096 MHz for data transactions between the LXT6155
Transceiver and the SCP bus. The LXT6155 Transceiver clocks SDO data out on the
falling edge, and clocks SDI data in on the rising edge of SCLK (see Figure 10 and
Figure 11).
3.5.2.2
Chip Select Input (CS)
On the falling edge of CS, the LXT6155 Transceiver starts data transactions. On the rising
edge of CS, the LXT6155 Transceiver stops data transaction. The CS pin must be held
Low for at least 16 SCLK cycles to complete a full Read or Write data transaction. If CS is
held Low less than 16 SCLK cycles, then the data transaction is ignored. At the end of
each Write/Read transaction, CS must return High, between the 16th and 17th clock
edges.
3.5.2.3
Serial Input Word (SDI)
Figure 11 shows the serial interface input data word structure. When the first input bit R/W
= Low, a Write operation is performed. The SCLK clocks data in on the SDI pin during the
second 8 bits D of the Write operation. Data is clocked in on the rising edge of
SCLK. During the entire 16 bit operation, SDO remains tristated. Refer to Table 6 on
page 27 through Table 23 on page 33 for control register descriptions.
3.5.2.4
Serial Output Word (SDO)
The serial output word structure is shown in Figure 10. When the first input bit R/W =
High, a Read operation is specified. SDO becomes active after A0 has been clocked in.
The first bit out of SDO changes the state of SDO from High-Z to a Low/High. SDO is
clocked out on the falling edge of SCLK.

3.8 Loopback Modes
Loopback Modes
The LXT6155 Transceiver provides two loopback modes that can be executed in either
hardware or software mode: local loopback and remote loopback. In remote loopback
mode, the crystal reference clock is used to center the receive PLL to prevent illegal clock
looping.
3.8.1
Local Loopback
Local loopback routes the transmit line output signals (TTIP and TRING) back to the
receive line inputs (RTIP and RRING). In this mode, the line transmit output signals are
active (see Figure 14).
3.8.2
Remote Loopback
Remote loopback routes the receive system output signals, both data and clock, to the
transmit system input (see Figure 15 on page 26). In this mode, system outputs
(RPOD or RPOS/RNEG) are still active.

The following provides application examples of interfacing the LXT6155 Transceiver to the
line side and the overhead terminator side. Line side encoding schemes can be one of
two types: LVPECL NRZ encoded for a fiber optic module, or CMI encoded for a 75
coax cable. On the systems side, serial differential or parallel eight-bit modes can be
used. All signals are TTL level compatible, except serial interface signals (TPOS, TNEG,
TSICLKP, TSICLKN, RSOCLKP, RSOCLKN, RPOS, and RNEG) which are 3.3 V LVPECL
compatible.
5.1
Fiber Optic Module Interface
The LXT6155 Transceiver is designed to directly drive a 3.3 V LVPECL fiber optic
transceiver. The LVPECL drivers require the proper transmission line impedance to
correctly drive the fiber module. Signal traces should be 50 controlled impedance lines
and should be biased to the appropriate level. Please refer to Figure 16 on page 35 for the
proper interface.
To interface the LXT6155 Transceiver LVPECL signals to a 5 V PECL fiber optic module,
please refer to the Cortina Systems® LXT6155 155 Mbps SDH/SONET/ATM Transceiver
Application Note (document number 249280).

Coax Interface
As shown in Figure 17 on page 36, the LXT6155 Transceiver directly drives a transformer
connected to a 75 coaxial cable with up to 12.7 dB cable loss at 78 MHz. This is
approximately 110 m of RG59U. Please refer to manufacturers specifications for
maximum cable lengths. Output CMI waveform conform to the ITU G.703 specifications.
Rise and fall times are less than 2.0 ns.
Caution:
Be careful to decouple the system side center tap of the transformer, as shown in
Figure 17 on page 36. Also any additional protection against line overvoltage must be
applied symmetrically in order to preserve the balanced operation of the LXT6155
Transceiver input and output stage.
