DESCRIPTION
The 82V3911 Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) Two-channel PLL is a
jitter attenuating device with rate conversion and reference switching
capabilities; its ultra-low jitter output clocks are used to directly synchro-
nize 10GBASE-R/10GBASE-W and OC-192/STM-64 PHYs and
40GBASE-R PHYs in Synchronous Ethernet and SONET/SDH equip-
ment. When the 82V3911 is locked to a Synchronous Equipment Timing
Source (SETS) that meets the requirements of ITU-T G.8262, G.813 or
Telcordia GR-253-CORE Stratum 3 or SONET Minimum Clock the
clocks generated by the 82V3911 will also meet those requirements.
The two 82V3911 timing channels are defined by independent Digital
PLLs (DPLLs) with embedded clock synthesizers. The two independent
timing channels allow the 82V3911 to synchronize transmit interfaces
with the selected system backplane clock, and to simultaneously provide
a recovered clock from a selected receive interface to the system back-
plane. DPLL1 is preferred for synchronizing transmit interfaces because
it has the more sophisticated holdover mode.
Both DPLLs support three primary operating modes: Free-Run,
Locked and Holdover. In Free-Run mode the DPLLs generate clocks
based on the master clock alone. In Locked mode the DPLLs filter refer-
ence clock jitter with one of the following selectable bandwidths: 18 Hz
or 35 Hz. In Locked mode the long-term DPLL frequency accuracy is the
same as the long term frequency accuracy of the selected input refer-
ence. In Holdover mode the DPLL uses frequency data acquired while in
Locked mode to generate accurate frequencies when input references
are not available.
The 82V3911 requires a 12.8 MHz master clock for its reference
monitors and other digital circuitry. The frequency accuracy of the mas-
ter clock determines the frequency accuracy of the DPLLs in Free-Run
mode. The frequency stability of the master clock determines the fre-
quency stability of the DPLLs in Free-Run mode and in Holdover mode.
The 82V3911 provides four single ended reference inputs and two
differential reference inputs that can operate at common Ethernet,
SONET/SDH and PDH frequencies and other frequencies. The refer-
ences are continually monitored for loss of signal and for frequency off-
set per user programmed thresholds. All of the references are available
to both DPLLs. The active reference for each DPLL is determined by
forced selection or by automatic selection based on user programmed
priorities and locking allowances and based on the reference monitors.
The 82V3911 can accept a clock reference and a phase locked
external sync signal as a pair. DPLL1 can lock to the reference clock
input and align its frame sync and multi-frame sync outputs with the
paired external sync input. The device provides to two external sync
inputs that can be associated with any of the six reference inputs to cre-
ate up to two pairs. The external sync signals can have a frequency of 1
Hz, 2 kHz or 8 kHz. This feature enables DPLL1 to phase align its frame
sync and multi-frame sync outputs with an external sync input without
the need use a low bandwidth setting to lock directly to an external sync
input.
The clocks synthesized by the 82V3911 DPLLs can be passed
through either of the two independent voltage controlled crystal oscillator
(VCXO) based jitter attenuating analog PLLs (APLLs). Both APLLs drive
two independent dividers that have differential outputs. The APLLs use
external crystal resonators with resonant frequencies equal to the APLL
base frequency divided by 25. Both APLLs can be provisioned with one
or two selectable crystal resonators to support up to two base frequen-
cies per APLL. The output clocks generated by the APLLs exhibit jitter
below 0.30ps RMS over the integration range 10 kHz to 20 MHz for most
output frequencies.
