Transmitter/receiver chipset

Transmitter/receiver chipset

The S3041 8-bit transmitter and S3042 8-bit receiver chip are aimed at sonet/sdh/atm-based transmission systems and dwdm applications. The transmitter incorporates on-chip clock-synthesis phased locked loop components allowing the use of a slower 155.52-MHz external transmit clock reference. The transmitter chip is a fully integrated sonet OC-48 (2.4 GHz) interface device performing all necessary parallel-to-serial functions, clock synthesis, system clock decoupling, line loopback, and diagnostic loopback functions in conformance with sonet/sdh transmission standards. The receiver chip implements sonet/sdh deserialization, frame detection functions, and loopback functions. The chipset can be used to implement the front end of sonet systems consisting of serial transmit interface and serial receive. Both chips support a low-jitter lvpecl interface for compliance with the bit-error requirements of Bellcore, ansi, and itu-t standards. The transmitter is priced at $169 in quantities of 100. The receiver is priced at $110 in quantities of 100.
