The DS3102 has eight input clocks pins and three frame-sync input pins. The device can output as many as nine
different clock frequencies on 16 output clock pins. There are two separate DPLLs in the device: the high-
performance T0 DPLL and the simpler the T4 DPLL. Both DPLLs can generate output clocks. See
Four of the input clock pins are single-ended and can accept clock signals from 2kHz to 125MHz. The other four
are differential inputs that can accept clock signals up to 156.25MHz. The differential inputs can be configured to
accept differential LVDS or LVPECL signals or single-ended CMOS/TTL signals.
Each input clock can be monitored continually for activity and/or frequency. Frequency can be compared to both a
hard limit and a soft limit. Inputs outside the hard limit are declared invalid, while inputs inside the hard limit but
outside the soft limit are merely flagged. Each input can be marked unavailable or given a priority number.
Separate input priority numbers are maintained for the T0 DPLL and the T4 DPLL. Except in special modes, the
highest priority valid input is automatically selected as the reference for each path. SRFAIL is set or cleared based
on activity and/or frequency of the selected input.
Both the T0 DPLL and the T4 DPLL can directly lock to many common telecom and datacom frequencies,
including, but not limited to, 8kHz, DS1, E1, 10MHz, 19.44MHz, and 38.88MHz as well as Ethernet frequencies
including 25MHz, 62.5MHz, 125MHz, and 156.25MHz. The DPLLs can also lock to multiples of the standard direct-
lock frequencies including 8kHz.
The T0 DPLL is the high-performance path with all the features needed for line timing synchronization. The T4
DPLL is a simpler auxiliary path typically used to provide derived DS1s, E1s, or other synchronization signals to an
external BITS/SSU. The T4 APLL can be connected to either the T4 DPLL or the T0 DPLL to provide extra low-
jitter output frequencies from the T0 DPLL. There is also a dedicated low-jitter APLL output that operates at
312.5MHz for 10G Ethernet applications.
Using the optional PLL bypass, the T4 selected reference, after any frequency division, can be directly output on
any of the OC1 to OC7 output clock pins.
Both DPLLs have these features:
The T0 DPLL has these additional features not available in the T4 DPLL:
The T4 DPLL has these additional features not available in the T0 DPLL:
