General Description
The VSC8147 is an electrical transceiver with an integrated clock recovery unit (CRU) and clock multiplier unit
(CMU) for use in SONET/SDH systems operating at STS-48/STM-16 and Forward Error Correction (FEC) data
rates.
The integrated CRU phase-locked loop (PLL) recovers the high-speed clock from the input data. The integrated CMU
PLL multiplies a low-speed reference clock to provide the high-speed serial line clock for internal logic and output
retiming. The parallel 4-bit LVDS interface incorporates an onboard FIFO, eliminating loop timing issues. The
VSC8147 supports Facility and Equipment Loopback modes.
The Loss of Lock (LOL) status signal indicates loss of lock of the PLL and the Loss of Signal (LOS) status signal
indicates the occurrence of an all-0s or an all-1s pattern. During a LOS condition, an all-0s data pattern is generated,
along with a SONET-quality clock (for SONET rates only).
If an LOS condition occurs, the PLL automatically switches to the reference clock and then switches back to the high-
speed input when the LOS signal is deasserted.
The VSC8147 operates using a single 2.5V supply with 800mW typical power dissipation and is available in a
thermally enhanced, 100-pin plastic LQFP package.

Functional Description
Receiver Operation
The on-chip receiver is composed of a CRU, a 1:4 demultiplexer, and I/O buffers to support SONET/SDH STS-48
and STS-48 FEC data rates.
Downloaded by spatni@partminer.com on November 22, 2006 from Vitesse.com
Clock Recovery Unit (CRU)
The CRU accepts high-speed NRZ data (RSDI) and recovers the clock for demultiplexer timing and downstream
devices. The on-chip PLL consists of a phase detector, loop filter, and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). When
there is a phase error between the incoming data and the on-chip VCO, the loop filter raises or lowers the control
voltage of the VCO to nullify the phase difference. One external filter capacitor (3.3µF, 1206 size, ceramic Y5V, 6-
10WVDC) connected from the loop filter pin (RFILT) to ground is required for normal operation of the CRU. This
circuit complies with SONET jitter tolerance requirements.
One reference clock, REFCLK, is provided as input to the VSC8147. The frequency of the REFCLK input to the
CRU is 155MHz to 166MHz. See
Table 1.

155.52MHz
STS-48 FEC

CRU Loss of Signal
A CRU LOS detector monitors the incoming high-speed data and detects within 2.3µs to 100µs if the signal is stuck in
a constant state (all 1s or 0s). Upon detection, the CRU generates an LVTTL-level LOS indicator (CRULOS LOW
indicates loss of signal) to reflect this condition. See
Table 2.
The CRU automatically locks to the selected REFCLK
input and presents all 0s on the low-speed parallel output data bus (RDO[0:15]). During this condition, the low-speed
receive clock output (RCLK16) provides a continuous clock phase and remains frequency-locked within ±20ppm to
the selected REFCLK input.
The CRU continuously monitors the high-speed data input to determine if data is present. When data is restored at the
high-speed input, the CRU automatically switches from locking on the reference clock to locking back on incoming
data signal within 125µs to 250µs. See
Table 2.
The performance of the CRU Loss of Signal detector is highly dependent on the operating environment. When used
with an optical transceiver module, it is recommended to use the LOS alarm from the module, rather than the CRU
LOS detector.

CRU Loss of Lock
To support system administrative and maintenance applications, a CRU LOL (CRULOL) detector indicates when the
internal PLL loses lock to the incoming data signal. This LOL condition occurs if the incoming high-speed data
signal is lost, severely degraded, or falls outside the lock range of the PLL. The low-speed receive clock output

condition. The CRULOL output pin is LVTTL level (CRULOL LOW indicates loss of lock).

RDO[0:3]
A ‘clean’ LOS operation occurs when the incoming optical receiver stops receiving the incoming signal (such as due
to a fiber cut) and the optical receiver electronics go to either a static logic 1 or logic 0 state.
A ‘dirty’ LOS operation can occur due to the same condition as a clean LOS occurrence except that the optical
receiver does not go to a static logic 1 or 0, but instead oscillates and generates random, unlockable data to the
downstream device. This occurrence will be seen as an LOL condition.
Demultiplexer, Serial-to-Parallel Conversion
A demultiplexer in the VSC8147 converts high-speed serial data (RSDI) into four low-speed parallel outputs
(RDO[0:3]). A divide-by-4 clock (RCLK4) provides timing of upstream devices and outputs a SONET-compliant
clock signal, provided REFCLK receives a SONET-compliant clock signal.
Transmitter Operation
The on-chip transmitter is comprised of a CMU, a 4:1 multiplexer, a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) Elastic Store buffer,
and all the I/O buffers to support SONET/SDH STS-48 and STS-48 FEC data rates.
Clock Multiplier Unit (CMU)
The CMU accepts the low-speed clock input and generates a high-speed clock output for serial retiming. The on-chip
PLL consists of a phase detector, a loop filter, and a VCO. Although the clock input to the CMU tolerates as much as
±100ppm, it must have a frequency accuracy of ±20ppm or better to ensure SONET/SDH compliance on the output.
This circuit complies with SONET jitter generation requirements. An external filter capacitor (3.3µF, 1206 size,

ceramic Y5V, 6-10WVDC), connected from the loop filter pin (MFILT) to ground, is required for operation of the
CMU.
One reference clock (REFCLK) is provided as input to the VSC8147. The frequency of the REFCLK input to the
CRU is 155MHz to 166MHz. See
Table 1,
page 3.
The CMU can use either the REFCLK input or the 155MHz internal clock output from the CRU as the low-speed
clock input. SONET jitter compliance is not guaranteed if CLK155 is used.

an active LOW signal.

Multiplexer, Parallel-to-Serial Conversion
The VSC8147 uses a multiplexer to convert 16 low-speed parallel inputs (TDI[0:13]) into high-speed serial clock
(TSCLKO) and data (TSDO) outputs. Most optical modules and laser drivers do not require a clock signal. If the
TSCLKO output is not required, it can be powered down by an external LVTTL control pin to reduce power
consumption (CLKPD HIGH disables TSCLKO). If no connection is made to CLKPD, the default setting is
TSCLKO on.
Figure 3
shows that when interfacing on the low-speed transmitter side, the upstream device should use the
TCLK16O as the timing source for its final output latch.
