SONET OVERVIEW
Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) is a standard
for connecting one fiber system to another at the opti-
cal level. SONET, together with the Synchronous
Digital Hierarchy (SDH) administered by the ITU-T,
forms a single international standard for fiber inter-
connect between telephone networks of different
countries. SONET is capable of accommodating a
variety of transmission rates and applications.
The SONET standard is a layered protocol with four
separate layers defined. These are:
• Photonic
• Section
• Line
• Path
Figure 2 shows the layers and their functions. Each
of the layers has overhead bandwidth dedicated to
administration and maintenance. The photonic layer
simply handles the conversion from electrical to optical
and back with no overhead. It is responsible for
transmitting the electrical signals in optical form over
the physical media. The section layer handles the
transport of the framed electrical signals across the
optical cable from one end to the next. Key functions
of this layer are framing, scrambling, and error moni-
toring. The line layer is responsible for the reliable
transmission of the path layer information stream
carrying voice, data, and video signals. Its main
functions are synchronization, multiplexing, and reli-
able transport. The path layer is responsible for the
actual transport of services at the appropriate signaling
rates.
SONET/SDH/ATM OC-48 16:1 TRANSMITTER
part of each STS-N signal is an optical carrier level-N
signal (OC-N). The S3083 chip supports the OC-48
data rate (2.488 Gbps).
Frame and Byte Boundary Detection
The SONET/SDH fundamental frame format for STS-48
consists of 144 transport overhead bytes followed by
Synchronous Payload Envelope (SPE) bytes. This
pattern of 144 overhead and 4176 SPE bytes is re-
peated nine times in each frame. Frame and byte
boundaries are detected using the A1 and A2 bytes
found in the transport overhead. (See Figure 3.)
For more details on SONET operations, refer to the
Bellcore SONET standard document.

S3083 OVERVIEW
The S3083 transmitter implements SONET/SDH se-
rialization and transmission functions. The block dia-
gram in Figure 4 shows basic operation of the chip.
This chip can be used to implement the front end of
SONET equipment, which consists primarily of the
serial transmit interface and the serial receive inter-
face. The chip includes parallel-to-serial conversion
and system timing. The system timing circuitry con-
sists of a high-speed phase detector, clock dividers,
and clock distribution throughout the front end.
The sequence of operations is as follows:
S3083
Transmitter Operations:
1. 16-bit parallel input
2. Parallel-to-serial conversion
3. Serial output
Internal clocking and control functions are transpar-
ent to the user. Details of the data timing can be
seen in Figure 7, 18, and 19.

S3083 ARCHITECTURE/FUNCTIONAL
DESIGN
MUX OPERATION
The S3083 performs the serializing stage in the pro-
cessing of a transmit SONET STS-48 bit serial data
stream. It converts the byte serial 155.52 Mbyte/sec
data stream to bit serial format at 2.488 Gbps. Diag-
nostic loopback is provided (transmitter to receiver),
and Line Loopback is also provided (receiver to trans-
mitter).
A high-frequency bit clock is generated from a
155.52 MHz frequency reference by using a fre-
quency synthesizer consisting of an on-chip phase-
locked loop circuit with a divider, VCO and loop filter.
SONET/SDH/ATM OC-48 16:1 TRANSMITTER
Timing Generator
The Timing Generator function, seen in Figure 4, pro-
vides two separate functions. It provides a byte rate
version of the TSCLK, and a mechanism for aligning
the phase between the incoming byte clock and the
clock which loads the parallel-to-serial shift register.
The PCLK output is a byte rate version of TSCLK.
For STS-48, the PCLK frequency is 155.52 MHz.
PCLK is intended for use as a byte speed clock for
upstream multiplexing and overhead processing cir-
cuits. Using PCLK for upstream circuits will ensure a
stable frequency and phase relationship between the
data coming into and leaving the S3083 device.
In the parallel-to-serial conversion process, the in-
coming data is passed from the PICLK byte clock
timing domain to the internally generated byte clock
timing domain, which is phase aligned to the TSCLK.
The Timing Generator also produces a feedback ref-
erence clock to the Phase Detector. A counter divides
the synthesized clock down to the same frequency
as the reference clock REFCLK.
Clock Divider and Phase Detector
The Clock Divider and Phase Detector, shown in the
block diagram in Figure 4, contains monolithic PLL
components that generate signals required to drive
the loop filter.
The REFCLK input must be generated from a differ-
ential LVPECL crystal oscillator which has a fre-
quency accuracy of better than the value stated in
Table 7 in order for the VCOCLK frequency to have
the same accuracy required for operation in a
SONET system.
In order to meet the 0.01 UI SONET jitter specifica-
tions, the maximum reference clock jitter must be
guaranteed over the 12 kHz to 20 MHz bandwidth.
For details of reference clock jitter requirements, see
Table 2.
The on–chip phase detector, which compares the
phase relationship between the VCO input and the
REFCLK input, drives the loop filter.
Parallel-to-Serial Converter
The Parallel-to-Serial converter shown in Figure 4 is
comprised of a FIFO and a parallel-to-serial register.
The FIFO input latches the data from the PIN[15:0]
bus on the rising edge of PICLK. The parallel-to-
serial register is a loadable shift register which takes
its parallel input from the FIFO output.
An internally generated divide by 16 clock, which is
phase aligned to the transmit serial clock as de-
scribed in the Timing Generator description, activates
the parallel data transfer between registers. The serial
data is shifted out of the parallel-to-serial register at
the TSCLK rate.
