Description
The MARS1G2 T-LT SONET/SDH overhead and path processor provides a versatile solution for quad OC-3 and
dual OC-12, linear and ring datacom/telecom applications. Constructed using COM2 CMOS modular process, this
device incorporates integrated SONET/SDH section/line/path termination, pointer processing, and cross connect
blocks.
Communication with the MARS1G2 T-LT device is accomplished through a generic microprocessor interface. The
device supports separate address and data buses.
With this device, support for different types of applications for OC-3/OC-12 data equipment is possible, enabling
dramatic system cost reduction and the ease of development of extremely competitive solutions.
The interface rates supported are dual STS-12/STM-4 and quad STS-3/STM-1. The concatenation levels sup-
ported by this device are STS-1, STS-3c, STS-6c, STS-9c, STS-12c, STS-15c, . . . , STS-21c, and STS-24c.
