SDNS037 - SEPTEMBER 1995 - REVISED MARCH 1996
The TNETA1610 STS-12c/STM-4 receiver/transmitter provides a versatile integrated solution for clock recovery and data serialization/deserialization for 622.08-Mbit/s data streams used in STS-12c/STM-4 systems. The TNETA1610 conforms to SONET/SDH standards and performs all the functionality necessary to simultaneously convert the serial data to and from byte-wide data and recover the embedded clock from received data. On the receive side, bit alignment is performed on the serial input data such that parallel data is output on SONET-/SDH-byte boundaries. In addition, loopback features and versatile clock-selection capabilities are included. The TNETA1610 is characterized for operation over a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
