The BCM8211 SONET/SDH transceiver is a fully integrated
serialization/deserialization SONET OC-48 and SDH STM-16 (2.488
Gbps) interface device with an integrated Clock Multiplication Unit
(CMU) and an integrated Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) circuit. On-
chip clock synthesis is performed by the high-frequency, low-jitter,
phase-locked loop on the BCM8211 transceiver, allowing the use of a
slower 77.76/155.52 MHz external transmit clock reference.
Dual RX and TX 2.488-Gbps interfaces support dual-fiber ring
architectures. Clock recovery is performed on the device by
synchronizing its on-chip VCO directly to the incoming data stream.
The low-jitter LVPECL/CMOS interface guarantees compliance with
the bit error rate requirements of the Telcordia GR-253-CORE, ANSI,
and ITU-T standards. The BCM8211 is packaged in a 14 x 20 mm, 128-
pin PQFP.
The BCM8211 operates in either single 2.5V or dual 2.5/3.3V
configuration. The core and CML I/O operate at 2.5V and the LVPECL
I/O can operate at either 2.5V or 3.3V.
