Synchronous Clock for SETS

Data sheet

General Description

Application

The STC5455 is a single chip solution for the syn-

chronous clock in SDH (SETS), SONET, and Syn-

chronous Ethernet network elements. The device is

fully compliant with ITU-T G.813 (option1 and

option2), G.8262 EEC (option1 and option2) Telcordia

GR1244, and GR253 (Stratum3/4E/4/SMC). Its highly

integrated design implements all necessary reference

selection, monitoring, filtering, synthesis, and control

functions. An external oscillator (e.g., high precision

OCXO or TCXO) completes a system level solution

(see Functional Block Diagram, Figure 1). The

STC5455 has four options for frequency of external

oscillator. The STC5455 supports multiple-master

operations for redundant application.

Overview

The STC5455 accepts 5 reference inputs and gener-

ates 4 synchronized clock outputs, including 2 frame

pulse clock outputs at 8kHz and 2kHz. Two indepen-

dent PLL-based timing generators, T0 and T4, pro-

vide the essential functions for Synchronous

Equipment Timing Sources (SETS). T0 controls syn-

thesizers G1, G2, and synthesizer F. T4 controls syn-

thesizer GT4. Clock outputs CLK1 and CLK2 can be

derived from synthesizer G1 and G2, respectively.

CLK2 can also be derived from synthesizer F through

T0 path or synthesizer GT4 through T4 path. Frame

pulse clock outputs are derived from synthesizer F.

The STC5455 incorporates a SPI interface, providing

access to status registers.

Chip Master Clock

The STC5455 operates with an external oscillator

(e.g., OCXO or TCXO) as its master clock. The

device supports four different frequencies of master

clock with programming: 10MHz, 12.8MHz, 19.2MHz,

and 20MHz. Initial default accepted frequency is

12.8MHz.

Reference Inputs and External

Sync Inputs

REF1~REF3 and 2 LVPECL/LVDS REF4~REF5. The

5 reference inputs arFeucnocnttiinounouasllySapceticviitfyicaandtioqunal-

ity monitored. The reference inputs may be selected

to accept either the auto-detect acceptable reference

frequency which can be automatically detected by

STC5455 or manually acceptable reference fre-

quency. The activity monitoring is implemented with a

programmable leaky bucket algorithm. A reference is

designated as âqualifiedâ if it is active and its fractional

frequency offset is within the programmed range for a

programmed soaking time. An auto reference elector

elects the most appropriate one from the reference

inputs according to the revertivity status, and each

referenceâs priority and qualification. Revertivity

determines whether a higher priority qualified refer-

ence should preempt a qualified current selected ref-

erence. If none of the references input is qualified,

holdover or freerun mode will be elected depending

on the availability of the holdover history.

Reference selection may be automatic, manual, or

hard-wired manual. In automatic reference selection

mode, the most appropriate one elected from the auto

reference elector will be the selected reference input.

In manual reference selection mode, user may spec-

ify any of the reference inputs as the selected refer-

ence input for external timing or holdover/freerun for

self-timing. In hard-wired manual mode, user can fast

switch using control pin SRCSW between two pre-

programmed reference inputs. The reference input

elected from the auto reference elector will not affect

the selected reference input in manual or hard-wired

manual mode.

In manual reference selection mode, the timing gen-

erator T4 may accept T0âs synchronized output as its

input.

External Frame Sync Inputs

The STC5455 has three external frame sync inputs at

2kHz or 8kHz on the pin EX_SYNC1, EX_SYNC2,

and EX_SYNC3 respectively. The frequency of the

external frame sync inputs are auto-detected.

To achieve frame alignment, any one of the three

external sync inputs may be selected as frame refer-

ence for T0 selected REF1 to REF5 individually.

Reference Inputs

The STC5455 accepts 5 reference inputs. 3 LVCMOS
