Description
Data Sheet
Network infrastructures are gradually converging onto a packet-based architecture. With this convergence, there
are a significant number of synchronous applications that require accurate timing to be distributed over the packet
networks. Examples of precision timing sensitive applications that need the transport of synchronization over
packet networks include transport of TDM over packet networks, connections to 2 G and 3 G cellular base stations,
Voice over IP, IP PBXs, video-conferencing and broadband video.
There are two main ways to enable synchronization over a packet network, synchronizing the packet network itself,
as in the Synchronous Ethernet approach, or distributing the timing using the packets as in Zarlink’s Timing over
Packet (ToP) technology. The two techniques can also be combined to provide a very powerful hybrid solution.
Synchronous Ethernet delivers a very accurate frequency reference, but doesn’t address phase and time
synchronization. ToP can be used to supplement the excellent frequency distribution of Synchronous Ethernet with
accurate phase and time information. Alternatively, ToP can be used to extend the reach of the Synchronous
Ethernet reference across an asynchronous network, such as a LAN connected to a synchronous WAN.
Zarlink has combined both methods into a single device. The ZL30316 incorporates an extremely low-jitter
frequency synthesizer, capable of generating all the frequencies required for Synchronous Ethernet operation,
together with Zarlink’s patent-pending Timing over Packet (ToP) technology based on the industry-standard
IEEE1588
TM
“PTP” (Precision Time Protocol). Not only can it function as a fully-featured Digital PLL, it also
supports the distribution of time, phase and frequency across both layer 2 and layer 3 networks, using both
Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE1588 protocols, either alone or in combination.
The ZL30316 is a member of a family of footprint-compatible devices offering the full range of features required for
timing and synchronization across the packet network. These devices facilitate design of a flexible card that can be
upgraded as required by simply placing another member of the same family.
The family members include:

When operating as a server, the Zarlink device locks onto the incoming clock reference as a conventional PLL,
filtering any jitter that may be present. It also synchronizes to any low-frequency alignment signal, e.g., an 8 kHz
TDM frame pulse, or a 1 Hz alignment input. The device delivers streams of packets, each containing a timestamp
indicating the precise time that the packet was launched into the network, relative to the acquired reference. It also
receives packets from clients, and returns a message indicating the exact time that the client message was
received at the server. Using this information, clients are able to align their own timebase with that of the server.
As a client, the Zarlink device can track two independent servers, and determine which one is providing the best
time reference. If either the primary reference or the network between the server and client fails, the device can
switch to the alternative reference without introducing a phase discontinuity. Alternatively, the client can switch to a
conventional clock reference.
The solution timing recovery algorithm continuously tracks the frequency offset and phase drift between the clocks
located at the server and the client nodes connected via the packet switched network. The algorithm is tolerant of
lost packets, and of packet delay variation caused by packet queuing, route changes and other effects. In the event
of a failure in the packet network, or the advent of severe congestion preventing or seriously delaying the delivery of
timing packets, the device will put the recovered clocks into holdover until the flow of timing packets is restored.
When the device is in holdover mode the drift of the local oscillator directly affects the accuracy of the output clocks.
When using ToP technology, the device is designed to meet ANSI standard T1.101 and ITU-T standards G.823 and
G.824 for synchronization distribution. It maintains a mean frequency accuracy of better than ±10 ppb and time
alignment of better than ±1
μs
when operated over a suitable network.
