SONET/SDH Wideband Cross-Connect
Product Highlights
• Multi-purpose SONET/SDH VT/TU and SONET/SDH STS/STM cross-
connect
• With a memory-switch architecture, implements a strictly non-
blocking switch that supports a VT/TU level fabric of up to
45 Gbit/s
• Supports 18 high-speed Enhanced SONET Serial Interface (ESSI)
CML links each independently configurable for STS-48/STM-16
at 2.488 Gbit/s or STS-12/STM-4 at 622.08 Mbit/s operation
• Supports system frame synchronization using an external frame
pulse or ESSI smart frame synchronization using the frame
boundary of the receive links
• Compensates for differences in frame boundary arrival times
between ingress ports using FIFOs and device level software
configurable delay registers
• Each SONET STS-1 or SDH VC3/VC4-TUG3 may be independently
configured as a single unit and/or as a container of VT/TUs. The
contents may be switched intact or switched as VT/TUs
• Allows each SONET VT Group to be independently configured
to carry VT1.5, VT2, VT3, or VT6 tributaries
• Allows each SDH TUG2 to be independently configured to carry
TU11, TU12, or TU2 tributaries
• Provides a device latency of 5.62 (+/-0.17) μs for 2.488 Gbit/s
links and 6.21 (+/-0.67) μs for 622 Mbit/s links
SONET/SDH Overhead Accessibility
• Supports extraction of the transport overhead (TOH) from the
ingress ports (both high and low-speed) as well as the insertion
of transport overhead into the egress ports via low bandwidth
two-bit 77.76 MHz interfaces
APS Features
• Supports a hardware-based Automatic Protection Switching
mechanism (MAPS) for centralized link protection control when
operating with other PMC-Sierra devices such as the PM5369
TUPP 9953
• Provides fully automatic protection switching for Class 1
protection services including 1+1 protection, UPSR, SNCP, and
static mesh protection services
• Provides hardware assists for Class 2 protection services
including 1:N protection, BLSR-2/4, MSSPRING-2/4, and dynamic
mesh protection schemes
I/O and General
• All high-speed ingress and egress links are 1.2 V CML and are
ELVDS-compatible with programmable pre-emphasis on
transmit, equalization on receive, and support for both AC and
DC coupled interfaces
• Each high-speed link supports SONET/SDH framed or unframed
PRBS-23 or PRBS-7 generation and monitoring for off-line link
verification
