Description
FINAL
Features
DATASHEET
The ACS8525A 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
ACS8525A 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.
The ACS8525A can perform frequency translation,
converting, for example, an 8 kHz SEC input clock from a
backplane into a 155.52 MHz clock for local line cards.
Master and Slave SEC inputs to the device support
TTL/CMOS and PECL/LVDS. The Stand-by SEC and three
Sync inputs are TTL/CMOS only.
The ACS8525A generates two SEC clock outputs, via one
PECL/LVDS and one TTL/CMOS port, with spot
frequencies from 2 kHz up to 311.04 MHz (up to 155.52
MHz on the TTL/CMOS port). It also provides an 8 kHz
Frame Sync and a 2 kHz Multi-Frame Sync signal output
with programmable pulse width and polarity.
The ACS8525 includes a Serial Port, which can be SPI
compatible, providing access to the configuration and
status registers for device setup.
IEEE 1149.1 JTAG Boundary Scan is supported.
