Description
The TA16 transponder performs the parallel-to-serial-
to-optical transport and optical transport-to-serial-to-
parallel function of the SONET/SDH protocol. The
TA16 transmitter performs the bit serialization and
optical transmission of SONET/SDH OC-48/STM-16
data that has been formatted into standard SONET/
SDH compliant, 16-bit parallel format. The TA16
receiver performs the optical-to-electrical conversion
function and is then able to detect frame and byte
boundaries and demultiplex the serial data into 16-bit
parallel OC-48/STM-16 format.
Note:
The TA16 transponder does not perform byte-
level multiplexing or interleaving.
Figure 1 shows a simplified block diagram of the
TA16-type transponder. This device is a bidirectional
module designed to provide a SONET or SDH com-
pliant electro-optical interface between the SONET/
SDH photonic physical layer and the electrical sec-
tion layer. The module contains a 2.5 Gbits/s optical
transmitter and a 2.5 Gbits/s optical receiver in the
same physical package along with the electronics
necessary to multiplex and demultiplex sixteen
155 Mbits/s electrical channels. Clock synthesis and
clock recovery circuits are also included within the
module.
In the transmit direction, the transponder module
multiplexes sixteen 155 Mbits/s LVPECL electrical
data signals into an optical signal at 2488.32 Mbits/s
for launching into optical fiber. An internal 2.488 GHz
reference oscillator is phase-locked to an external
155 MHz data timing reference.
The TA16-Type transponders integrate up to 15 discrete ICs
and optical components, including a 2.5 Gbits/s optical trans-
mitter and receiver pair, all in a single, compact package.

TA16-Type 2.5 Gbits/s Transponder with
16-Channel 155 Mbits/s Multiplexer/Demulitplexer
In the receive direction, the transponder module
receives a 2488.32 Mbits/s optical signal and converts
it to an electrical signal, extracts a clock signal, and
then demultiplexes the data into sixteen 155 Mbits/s
differential LVPECL data signals. The optical receiver is
available with either a PIN photodetector or with an
APD photodetector. The receiver operates over the
wavelength range of 1.1 µm to 1.6 µm and is fully com-
pliant to SONET/SDH OC-48/STM-16 physical layer
specifications as shown in Table 5, Optical Characteris-
tics.
Description
(continued)
The optical transmitter is available with either a 1.31 µm
Fabry-Perot laser for short-reach applications or
1.31 µm and 1.55 µm DFB lasers for intermediate- to
long-reach applications. The optical output signal is
SONET and ITU compliant for OC-48/STM-16 applica-
tions as shown in Table 4, Optical Characteristics.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are abso-
lute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess
of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended
periods can adversely affect reliability.
