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.
