GD16591A/GD16592A
General Description
The GD16591A and GD16592A is a
front-end transmitter/receiver chip set de-
signed for multiple line interfaces:
u
STM-4 / OC-12
u
STM-1 / OC-3
u
PDH E4
This chip set is designed to interconnect
the high speed line interface to standard
CMOS ASICs providing low speed data
interface.
The GD16591A and GD16592A devices
are designed for use in both electrical
and optical line interface modules. The
devices support line speeds of:
u
140/155 Mbit/s NRZ mode for E4/
OC-3/STM-1 for an optical line inter-
face.
u
280/311 Mbit/s for E4/OC-3/STM-1 in
CMI mode for electrical line interface,
where en-/decoding is made at the
system site.
u
622 Mbit/s NRZ mode line speed for
OC-12/STM-4 operation.
The on-chip VCO and PLL blocks for
clock generation eliminate the need for
an external high-speed clock signal.
The GD16592A comprises a Limiting In-
put Amplifier (LIA), Clock & Data Recov-
ery, and a configurable DeMUX circuit.
The LIA offers a differential input sensi-
tivity of 10 mV peak to peak for the high-
speed serial input. A Lock Detect output
monitors the PLL locked onto the re-
ceived serial data.
The low-speed interface I/O麓s are
LVTTL-level, and the high-speed I/O麓s
are differential LVPECL levels (The LIA
input is usable as LVPECL input).
System (local) Loop-back and Line (re-
mote) Loop-back functions offer simpli-
fied manufacturing and field testing.
Low power consumption is achieved by
the 3.3 V single power supply and by
omitting all circuitry, which can easily be
implemented in the low speed system
ASIC, thus reducing the overall power
consumption.
The devices are housed in 48 pin
EDQUAD TQFP盲 plastic packages.
