Description

The 8T49N286 has two independent, fractional-feedback PLLs that

can be used as jitter attenuators and frequency translators. It is

equipped with six integer and two fractional output dividers, allowing

the generation of up to eight different output frequencies, ranging

from 8kHz to 1GHz. Four of these frequencies are completely

independent of each other and the inputs. The other four are related

frequencies. The eight outputs may select among LVPECL, LVDS,

HCSL or LVCMOS output levels.

This functionality makes it ideal to be used in any frequency

translation application, including 1G, 10G, 40G and 100G

Synchronous Ethernet, OTN, and SONET/SDH, including ITU-T

G.709 (2009) FEC rates. The device may also behave as a frequency

synthesizer.

The 8T49N286 accepts up to four differential or single-ended input

clocks and a crystal input. Each of the two internal PLLs can lock to

different input clocks which may be of independent frequencies. The

other two input clocks are intended for redundant backup of the

primary clocks and must be related in frequency to their primary.

The device supports hitless reference switching between input

clocks. The device monitors all input clocks for Loss of Signal (LOS),

and generates an alarm when an input clock failure is detected.

Automatic and manual hitless reference switching options are

supported. LOS behavior can be set to support gapped or ungapped

clocks.

The 8T49N286 supports holdover for each PLL. The holdover has an

initial accuracy of ±50ppB from the point where the loss of all

applicable input reference(s) has been detected. It maintains a

historical average operating point for each PLL that may be returned

to in holdover at a limited phase slope.

The device places no constraints on input to output frequency

conversion, supporting all FEC rates, including the new revision of

ITU-T Recommendation G.709 (2009), most with 0ppm conversion

error.

Each PLL has a register-selectable loop bandwidth from 1.4Hz to

360Hz.

Each output supports individual phase delay settings to allow

output-output alignment.

The device supports Output Enable inputs and Lock, Holdover and

LOS status outputs.

The device is programmable through an I2C interface. It also supports

I

2C master capability to allow the register configuration to be read

from an external EEPROM. The user may select whether the

programming interface uses I2C protocols or SPI protocols, however

in SPI mode, read from the external EEPROM is not supported.
