STS-12/STM-4 OR STS-3/STM-1 SONET/SDH TRANSCEIVER
JUNE 2007
REV. 1.0.3
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT91L32 is a fully integrated SONET/SDH
transceiver for SONET/SDH 622.08 Mbps STS-12/
STM-4 or 155.52 Mbps STS-3/STM-1 applications.
The transceiver includes an on-chip Clock Multiplier
Unit (CMU), which uses a high frequency PhaseLocked Loop (PLL) to generate the high-speed
transmit serial clock from a slower external clock
reference. It also provides Clock and Data Recovery
(CDR) function by synchronizing its on-chip Voltage
Controlled Oscillator (VCO) to the incoming serial
data stream. The internal CDR unit can be disabled
and bypassed in lieu of an externally recovered
received clock from the optical module. Either the
internally recovered clock or the externally recovered
clock can be used for loop timing applications. The
chip provides serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial
converters using an 8-bit wide LVTTL system
interface in both receive and transmit directions.
The transmit section includes an option to accept a
parallel clock signal from the framer/mapper to
synchronize the transmit section timing. The device
can internally monitor Loss of Signal (LOS) condition
and automatically mute received data upon LOS. An
on-chip SONET/SDH frame byte and boundary
detector and frame pulse generator offers the ability
recover SONET/SDH framing and to byte align the
receive serial data stream into the 8-bit parallel bus.
APPLICATIONS

• Add/Drop Multiplexers
• Cross Connect Equipment
• ATM and Multi-Service Switches, Routers and

Transmit Parallel Data Input
Transmit Parallel Clock Output Operation
The 77.76 Mbps (STS-12/STM-4) / 19.44 Mbps (STS-3/STM-1)
8-bit parallel transmit data should be applied to the transmit
parallel bus and simultaneously referenced to the rising edge of
the TXPCLK_IO clock output. The 8-bit parallel interface is multiplexed into the transmit serial output interface with the MSB
first (TXDI[7:0]).
Alternate Transmit Parallel Clock Input Operation
When operating is this mode, TXPCLK_IO is no longer a parallel clock output reference but reverses direction and serves as
the parallel transmit clock input reference for the PISO (Parallel
Input to Serial Output) block. The 77.76 Mbps (STS-12/STM-4)
/ 19.44 Mbps (STS-3/STM-1) 8-bit parallel transmit data should
be applied to the transmit parallel bus and simultaneously referenced to the rising edge of the TXPCLK_IO clock input.

1.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT91L32 transceiver is designed to operate with a SONET Framer/ASIC device and provide a highspeed serial interface to optical networks. The transceiver converts 8-bit parallel data running at 77.76 Mbps
(STS-12/STM-4) or 19.44 Mbps (STS-3/STM-1) to a serial Differential LVPECL bit stream at 622.08 Mbps or
155.52 Mbps and vice-versa. It implements a clock multiplier unit (CMU), SONET/SDH serialization/deserialization (SerDes), receive clock and data recovery (CDR) unit and a SONET/SDH frame and byte
boundary detection circuit. The transceiver is divided into Transmit and Receive sections and is used to
provide the front end component of SONET equipment, which includes primarily serial transmit and receive
functions.
1.1
STS-12/STM-4 and STS-3/STM-1 Mode of Operation
Functionality of the transceiver can be configured by using the appropriate signal level on the STS-12/STS-3
pin. STS-3/STM-1 mode is selected by pulling STS-12/STS-3 "Low" as described in the Hardware Pin
Descriptions. However, if STS-12/STM-4 mode is desired, it is selected by pulling STS-12/STS-3 "High."
Therefore, the following sections describe the functionality rather than how each function is controlled. Hence,
the hardware Pin and the Register Bit Descriptions focus on device configuration.
1.2
Clock Input Reference for Clock Multiplier (Synthesizer) Unit
The XRT91L32 can accept both a 19.44 MHz or a 77.76 MHz Differential LVPECL clock input at REFCLKP/N
or a Single-Ended LVTTL clock at TTLREFCLK as its internal timing reference for generating higher speed
clocks. The REFCLKP/N or TTLREFCLK input should be generated from an LVPECL/LVTTL crystal oscillator
which has a frequency accuracy better than 20ppm in order for the transmitted data rate frequency to have the
necessary accuracy required for SONET systems. The reference clock can be provided with one of two
frequencies chosen by CMUFREQSEL. The reference frequency options for the XRT91L32 are listed in
Table 1.

2.0 RECEIVE SECTION
The receive section of XRT91L32 include the inputs RXIP/N, followed by the clock and data recovery unit
(CDR) and receive serial-to-parallel converter. The receiver accepts the high speed Non-Return to Zero (NRZ)
serial data at 622.08 Mbps or 155.52 Mbps through the input interfaces RXIP/N. The clock and data recovery
unit recovers the high-speed receive clock from the incoming scrambled NRZ data stream. The recovered
serial data is converted into an 8-bit-wide, 77.76 Mbps or 19.44 Mbps parallel data and presented to the
RXDO[7:0] parallel interface. This parallel interface is designed for Single-Ended LVTTL operation. A divideby-8 version of the high-speed recovered clock RXPCLKOP/N, is used to synchronize the transfer of the 8-bit
RXDO[7:0] data with the receive portion of the framer/mapper device. Upon initialization or loss of signal or
loss of lock, the external reference clock signal of 19.44 MHz or 77.76 MHz is used to start-up the clock
recovery phase-locked loop for proper operation. In certain applications, the CDR block on the XRT91L32 can
be disabled and bypassed by enabling the CDRDIS pin to permit the flexibility of using an externally recovered
receive clock thru the XRXCLKIP/N pins.7
2.1
Receive Serial Input
The receive serial inputs are applied to RXIP/N. The receive serial inputs can be AC or DC coupled to an
optical module or an electrical interface. A simplified AC coupling block diagram is shown in Figure 3.(Also,

Receive Clock and Data Recovery
The clock and data recovery (CDR) unit accepts the high speed NRZ serial data from the Differential LVPECL
receiver and generates a clock that is the same frequency as the incoming data. The clock recovery can either
utilize the transmitter’s CMU reference clock from either REFCLKP/N or TTLREFCLK or it can use
independent clock source CDRAUXREFCLK to train and monitor its clock recovery PLL. Initially upon startup,
the PLL locks to the local reference clock within ±500 ppm. Once this is achieved, the PLL then attempts to
lock onto the incoming receive data stream. Whenever the recovered clock frequency deviates from the local
reference clock frequency by more than approximately ±500 ppm, the clock recovery PLL will switch and lock
back onto the local reference clock. Whenever a Loss of Lock or a Loss of Signal event occurs, the CDR will
continue to supply a receive clock (based on the local reference) to the framer/mapper device. When the
LOSEXT is asserted by the optical module or when LOS is detected, the receive parallel data output will be
forced to a logic zero state for the entire duration that a LOS condition is detected. This acts as a receive data
mute upon LOS function to prevent random noise from being misinterpreted as valid incoming data. When the
LOSEXT becomes inactive and the recovered clock is determined to be within ±500 ppm accuracy with respect
to the local reference source and LOS is no longer declared, the clock recovery PLL will switch and lock back
onto the incoming receive data stream. Table 5 shows Clock and Data Recovery reference clock settings.
Table 6 specifies the Clock and Data Recovery Unit performance characteristics.
