9.8.2.1 SOME NOTES PRIOR TO STARTING THIS DISCUSSION:
Our simulation results indicate that Jitter Attenuator PLL (within the XRT75L03D LIU IC) will have no problem
handling and processing the "Data-Signal" and "Clock-Signal" from a Mapper IC/ASIC if no pre-processing has
been performed on these signals. In order words, our simulation results indicate that the Jitter Attenuator PLL
(within the LIU IC) will have no problem handling the "worst-case" of 59 consecutive bits of no clock pulses in
the "Clock-Signal (due to the Mapper IC processing the TOH bytes, an Incrementing Pointer-Adjustment-
induced "stuffed-byte", the POH byte, and the two fixed-stuff bytes within the STS-1 SPE, etc), immediately
followed be processing clusters of DS3 data-bits (as shown in Figure 37) and still comply with the "Category I
Intrinsic Jitter Requirements per Telcordia GR-253-CORE for DS3 applications.
NOTE: If this sort of "pre-processing" is already supported by the Mapper device that you are using, then no further action
is required by the user.
9.8.2.2 OUR PRE-PROCESSING RECOMMENDATIONS
For the time-being, we recommend that the customer implement the "pre-processing" of the DS3 "Data-Signal"
and "Clock-Signal" as described below. Currently we are aware that some of the Mapper products on the
Market do implement this exact "pre-processing" algorithm. However, if the customer is implementing their
Mapper Design in an ASIC or FPGA solution, then we strongly recommend that the user implement the
necessary logic design to realize the following recommendations.
Some time ago, we spent some time, studying (and then later testing our solution with) the PM5342 OC-3 to
DS3 Mapper IC from PMC-Sierra. In particular, we wanted to understand the type of "DS3 Clock" and "Data"
signal that this DS3 to OC-3 Mapper IC outputs.
During this effort, we learned the following.
1. This "DS3 Clock" and "Data" signal, which is output from the Mapper IC consists of two major "repeating"
patterns (which we will refer to as "MAJOR PATTERN A" and "MAJOR PATTERN B". The behavior of
each of these patterns is presented below.
MAJOR PATTERN A
MAJOR PATTERN A consists of two "sub" or minor-patterns, (which we will refer to as "MINOR PATTERN P1
and P2).
MINOR PATTERN P1 consists of a string of seven (7) clock pulses, followed by a single gap (no clock pulse).
An illustration of MINOR PATTERN P1 is presented below in Figure 58.

It should be noted that each of these clock pulses has a period of approximately 19.3ns (or has an
"instantaneously frequency of 51.84MHz).
MINOR Pattern P2 consists of string of five (5) clock pulses, which is also followed by a single gap (no clock
pulse). An illustration of Pattern P2 is presented below in Figure 59.
