General Description
The VSC8117 is an ATM/SONET/SDH compatible transceiver integrating an on-chip Clock Multiplication
Unit (PLL) for the high speed clock as well as a clock and data recovery unit (CRU) with 8 bit serial-to-parallel
and parallel-to-serial data conversion. The PLL clock is used for serialization in the transmit direction (Mux).
The recovered clock is used for deserialization in the receive direction (Demux). The demultiplexer contains
SONET/SDH frame detection and recovery. The device provides facility loopback, equipment loopback, and
loop timing modes. The part is packaged in a 64-pin PQFP with integrated heat spreader for optimum thermal
performance and reduced cost. The VSC8117 provides an integrated solution for ATM physical layers and
SONET/SDH systems applications.
Functional Description
The VSC8117 is designed to provide a SONET/SDH compliant interface between the high speed optical
networks and the lower speed User Network Interface devices such as the PM5355 S/UNI-622. The VSC8117
converts 8 bit parallel data at 77.76Mb/s or 19.44Mb/s to a serial bit stream at 622.08Mb/s or 155.52Mb/s
respectively. The device also provides a Facility Loopback function which loops the received high speed data
and clock (optionally recovered on-chip) directly to the high speed transmit outputs. A Clock Multiplier Unit
(CMU) is integrated into the transmit circuit to generate the high speed clock for the serial output data stream
from input reference frequencies of 19.44 or 77.76 MHz. The CMU can be bypassed with the recovered clock in
loop timing mode thus synchronizing the entire part to a single clock. The block diagram on page 2 shows the
major functional blocks associated with the VSC8117.
The receive section provides the serial-to-parallel conversion, converting the 155.52Mb/s or 622.08Mb/s bit
stream to an 8 bit parallel output at 19.44Mb/s or 77.76Mb/s respectively. A Clock Recovery Unit (CRU) is inte-
grated into the receive circuit to recover the high speed clock from the received serial data stream. The receive
section provides an Equipment Loopback function which will loop the low speed transmit data and clock back
through the receive section to the 8 bit parallel data bus and clock outputs. The VSC8117 also provides the
option of selecting between either its internal CRU’s recovered clock and data signals or optics containing a

receive section also contains a SONET/SDH frame detector circuit which is used to provide frame pluses during
the A1, A2 boundary in the serial to parallel converter. This only occurs when OOF is high. Both internal and
external LOS functions are supported. The high speed serial signals can be made PECL compatible or LVPECL
compatible by setting the proper voltage on the V

Transmit Section
Byte-wide data is presented to TXIN[7:0] and is clocked into the part on the rising edge of TXLSCKOUT.
TXLSCKOUT also latches TXIN[7:0] into the part as shown in Figure 1. The data is then serialized (MSB lead-
ing) and presented at the TXDATAOUT+/- pins. The serial output stream is synchronized to the CMU generated
clock which is a phase locked and frequency scaled version of the input reference clock. External control inputs
CMUFREQSEL and STS-12 select the multiply ratio of the CMU for either STS-3 (155MbS) or STS-12
(622Mb/s) transmission (see Table 10). A divide-by-8 version of the CMU clock (TXLSCKOUT) should be
used to synchronize the transmit interface of the UNI device to the transmit input registers on the VSC8117.

Receive Section
High speed Non-Return to Zero (NRZ) serial data at 155Mb/s or 622Mb/s are received by the RXDATAIN
inputs. The CRU recovers the high speed clock from the serial data input. The serial data is converted to byte-
wide parallel data and presented on RXOUT[7:0] pins. A divide-by-8 version of the high-speed clock
(RXLSCKOUT) should be used to synchronize the byte-serial RXOUT[7:0] data with the receive portion of the
UNI device. The on-chip CRU is by-passed by setting the DSBLCRU input high. In this mode, the serial input
data and corresponding clock are received by the RXDATAIN and RXCLKIN inputs respectively. RXDATAIN
is clocked in on the rising edge of RXCLKIN+. See Figure 2.
The receive section also includes frame detection and recovery circuitry which detects the SONET/SDH
frame, aligns the received serial data on byte boundaries, and initiates a frame pulse on FP coincident with the
byte aligned data. The frame recovery is initiated when OOF is held high which must occur at least 4 byte clock
cycles before the A1A2 boundary. The OOF input control is a level-sensitive signal, and the VSC8117 will con-
tinually perform frame detection and recovery as long as this pin is held high even if 1 or more frames has been
detected. Frame detection and recovery occurs when a series of three A1 bytes followed by three A2 bytes has
been detected. The parallel output data on RXOUT[7:0] will be byte aligned starting on the third A2 byte. When
a frame is detected, a single byte clock period long pulse is generated on FP which is synchronized with the
byte-aligned third A2 byte on RXOUT[7:0]. The frame detector sends a FP pulse only if OOF is high.

Loss of Signal
The VSC8117 features Loss of Signal (LOS) detection. Loss of Signal is declared if the incoming serial
data stream has no transition continuously for more than 128 bits. During an LOS condition, the VSC8117
forces the receive data low which is an indication for any downstream equipment that an optical interface failure
has occurred. The receive section continues to be clocked by the CRU as it is now locked to the CRUREFCLK
unless DSBLCRU is active or CRUREFSEL is inactive in which case it will be clocked by the CMU. This LOS
condition will be removed when the part detects more than 16 transitions in a 128 bit time window. This LOS
detection feature can be disabled by applying a high level to the LOSDETEN_ input. The VSC8117 also has a
PECL input LOSPECL to force the part into a Loss of Signal state. Most optics have a PECL output usually
called “SD” or “FLAG” indicating a lack of or presence of optical power. Depending on the optics manufacturer
this signal is either active high or active low. The LOSPECL input on the VSC8117 is active low.

Facility Loopback
The Facility Loopback function is controlled by the FACLOOP signal. When the FACLOOP signal is set
high, the Facility Loopback mode is activated and the high speed serial receive data (RXDATAIN) is presented
to the high speed transmit output (TXDATAOUT). See Figure 3. In Facility Loopback mode the high speed
receive data (RXDATAIN) is also converted to parallel data and presented to the low speed receive data output
pins (RXOUT[7:0]). The receive clock (RXCLKIN) or the recovered clock is also divided down and presented
to the low speed clock output (RXLSCKOUT).

Equipment Loopback
The Equipment Loopback function is controlled by the EQULOOP signal. When the EQULOOP signal is
set high, the Equipment Loopback mode is activated and the high speed transmit data generated from the paral-
lel to serial conversion of the low speed data (TXIN[7:0]) is selected and converted back to parallel data in the
receiver section and presented to the low speed parallel outputs (RXOUT[7:0]). See Figure 4. The internally
generated 155/622MHz clock is used to generate the low speed receive clock output (RXLSCKOUT). In Equip-
ment Loopback mode the transmit data (TXIN[7:0]) is serialized by the on-chip CMU and presented at the high
speed output (TXDATAOUT).
CRU Equipment Loopback
Exactly the same as equipment loopback, the point where the transmit data is looped back is moved all the
way back to the high speed I/O. When the CRUEQLP signal is set high, transmit data is looped back to the
CRU, replacing RXDATAIN±
