Description
The ACS8515 is a highly integrated, single-chip
solution for 聭hit-less聮 protection switching of SEC
clocks from Master and Slave SETS clockcards
in a SONET or SDH Network Element. The
ACS8515 has fast activity monitors on the in-
puts and will implement automatic system pro-
tection switching against master clock failure.
A further input is provided for an optional standby
SEC clock. The ACS8515 is fully compliant with
the required specifications and standards.
The ACS8515 can perform frequency translation
from a SEC input clock distributed along a back
plane to a different local line card clock, e.g.
8 kHz distributed on the back plane and
19.44 MHz generated on the line cards.
An SPI
(1)
compatible serial port is incorporated,
providing access to the configuration and status
registers for device setup.
The ACS8515 can utilise either a low cost XO
oscillator module, or a TCXO with full tempera-
ture calibration - as required by the application.
Rev2.1 adds choice of edge alignment for 8kHz
input, as well as a low jitter n x E1/DS1 output
mode. Other minor changes are made, with all
described in Appendix A.
