描述 Description

The ACS8525 is a highly integrated, single-chip solution for “Hit-less” protection switching of SEC (SDH/SONET Equipment Clock) + Sync clock “Groups”, from Master and Slave SETS clock cards and a third (Stand-by) source, for Line Cards in a SONET or SDH Network Element. The ACS8525 has fast activity monitors on the SEC clock inputs and will implement automatic system protection switching against the Master clock failure. The selection of the Master/Slave input can be forced by a Force Fast Switch pin. If both the Master and Slave input clocks fail, the Stand-by “Group” is selected or, if no Stand-by is available, the device enters Digital Holdover mode.

特性 Features

◆ SONET/SDH applications up to OC-3/STM-1 bit rates

◆ Switches between grouped inputs (SEC/Sync pairs)

◆ Inputs: three SECs at any of 2, 4, 8 kHz (and N x 8 kHz multiples up to 155.52 MHz), plus Frame Sync/MultiFrame Sync

◆ Outputs: two SEC clocks at any of several spot frequencies from 2 kHz up to 77.76 MHz via the TTL/CMOS port and up to 311.04 MHz via the PECL/LVDS port

◆ Selectable clock I/O port technologies
