GENERAL DESCRIPTION :

The VSC9182 is a 64x64 STS-12/STM-4 Time Slot Interchange Switch IC. A single device provides 40Gb/s of non-blocking STS-1 connectivity (768x768 STS-1) with support for concatenated tributaries. All STS-12/STM-4 inputs and outputs are differential serial signals running at 622 Mb/s for efficiency in switch card and system backplane design. Backplane BER monitoring and deskew are integrated, and the connection matrix can be hitlessly reconfigured. Path AIS or UNEQ can be optionally inserted into all 768 outgoing STS-1 tributaries. A standard asynchronous CPU interface with event interrupts is also supported.

FEATURES :

Interconnection Matrix

► Time & Space Switches any STS-(n) [n= 1, 3c, 12c] Signal of an Incoming STS-12 into any Byte Position of any STS-12 Output

► Single Stage Non-blocking Structure of the Switch Allows for Multicast and Full Broadcast

► Hitless Switching: Programming is Queued and Takes Effect After user Intervention During the Next Frame Boundary

► Unequipped or AIS Signals can be Substituted into any of the Outgoing STS-1 Timeslots.

► Provides a Capability to Read out the Switch Configuration (address map)

Input Backplane Interface

► Serial 622.08 Mb/s Differential LVDS STS-12/STM-4 Inputs

► Receives 64 Serial 622.08 Mb/s STS-12/STM-4 Signals

► Input Signals are Presumed Frequency Synchronous and Frame aligned to Within +/- 3 Time Slots of the System SYNC Input

► Provides On-chip Data Recovery De-skewing Functionality to Bit-align, Byte-align and Frame-align all Incoming STS-12s (Within the above Tolerance) to the Local Clock

► Flags Out-of-frame (OOF), Loss-of-signal (LOS) and Parity Errors

► Checks B1 Parity of Incoming Data

► Inserts Unequipped or AIS When Channel is in OOF, LOS or Unprovisioned State and Inhibits Alarms

► Optionally De-scrambles Incoming SONET Data VSC9182

Output Backplane Interface
