Cortina Systems® IXF30009/30010/30011 Optical Transport Processors

Product Overview

The Cortina Systems® IXF30009/30010/30011 Optical

Transport Processors are highly integr ated devices

designed to handle most Optical T ransport Network

(OTN) applications on a single chip . Developers can

use these optoelectronic components to build optical

network solutions to meet a v ariety of high-bandwidth

requirements in SONET/SDH, Optical Transport

Network or Ethernet networks. As successors to the

Cortina Systems® IXF30001, IXF30003, IXF30005, and

IXF30007 devices, the IXF30009/30010/30011 Optical

Transport Processors build on the Cortina S ystems,

Inc. (CortinaTM) framer and Forward Error Correction

(FEC) design expertise and extend the product family .

The IXF30009/30010/30011 Optical Transport

Processors provide strong FEC performance and

support for networking standards such as O TN

(G.709), SONET/SDH and 10 Gigabit Ethernet

(10GigE). The devices feature SFI -4 compliant

interfaces that can be configured to support either a

single 10 Gbps signal or four 2.5 Gbps tributary

signals. They can perform fully tr ansparent

asynchronous aggregation of 2.5 Gbps tributaries into

a 10.7 Gbps (OTU2) signal. The devices support full

duplex operations for all data paths, and all RX and TX

ports can be configured independently. They can be

used as SONET/SDH framers providing complete

section and line termination for one OC -192/STM-64 or

four OC-48/STM-16 signals.

The Optical Transport Processors can also be oper ated

as bridge devices, transparently transporting any

payload over a G.709-compliant network as network

nodes operating with OTN signals on all interfaces, as

gateways between asynchronous OTNs, or as strong

FEC devices providing a net electrical coding gain of

10 dB in Ultra Long Haul (ULH) or submarine systems.

Both interfaces (system and line) are equipped with a

G.709-compliant FEC codec (RS-255/239) pro viding a

net coding gain of ~6 dB , allowing for a single-chip

standard FEC regenerator. In addition, the line-side of

the IXF30009/30011 Optical Transport Processors

contain a very strong, proprietary FEC code with a

maximum net coding gain of 10 dB supporting ULH

and submarine applications. The FEC ov erhead

information can be scaled to 4%, 7%, 15%, or 25% to

support the various requirements of a 10 GbE,

Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), and ULH system

respectively, while maintaining the G.709v2 fr ame

format.

The flexibility of the configurable serial overhead port

allows access to all tr ansported client signals and

management overhead data. FEC statistics are

delivered to this port and can be used to control

external compensation circuitries for optical

impairments.

Compliance with OIF interface standards (SFI -4)

enables the devices to be used in Multi Source

Agreement (MSA) based systems. The single-chip

integration support for multiple standards mak es the

IXF30009/30010/30011 Optical Transport Processors

the ideal high integration solution for a wide r ange of

applications including OTN networks, FEC regener ators,

Multi Service Provisioning Platforms (MSPPs), SONET/

SDH Add/Drop Multiplexers (ADMs), submarine and

ULH FEC applications, low cost 10 Gbps metro and core

networks, and 10 GbE LAN tr ansport and monitoring.

Product Brief Number: 302229-2.1

• Fully transparent asynchronous aggregation of four

2.5 Gbps tributary signals into an O TU2/ODU2

• Specific networking capabilities for 10 GbE,

SONET/SDH and OTN signals

• Strong, adjustable FEC

• High integration networking support for different

payloads including 10 GbE and aggregation of

multiple different signals

• Pin and software compatibility throughout the

product family

• Enables more efficient bandwidth usage, leading to

lower investment cost for tr ansport systems. Allows

direct connection of asynchronous lower r ate client

signals in a transport system that can be fully

transparent and invisible to the pa yload.

• Enables MSPPs capable of handling different client

signals. The processor can be used as a full

SONET/SDH framer for OC-48 or OC-192, monitoring

10 GbE or processing O TN signals.

• Provides superior coding gain and can be configured to

meet the performance needs of a v ariety of platforms

(Metro, LH, ULH, submarine). Enables denser packing

of colors in a fiber to reduce equipment cost.

• Supports high density boards (for example, an 8-port

OC-48 framer) with greater real estate sa vings. Service

providers can directly tr ansport and monitor 10 GbE

payloads.

• One board can be reused with different platforms

(from Metro to ULH), helping to reduce cost. One

software development, quick adaptation of new

features into an existing platform (i.e. aggregation).

Cortina Advantage

• The IXF30009 is a G.709 compliant Optical

Transport Processor, which covers most OTN

applications on a single chip . It is the successor of

the IXF30001/3/5/7 devices and builds on this

expertise. In addition to previous devices, the

IXF30009 device supports fully tr ansparent

asynchronous aggregation of four 2.5 Gbps tributary

signals into an ODU2 signal. It offers very strong

proprietary enhanced FEC coding while maintaining

the G.709v2 frame format. The FEC performance

can be adjusted by changing the FEC ov erhead rate

(for example, 4%, 7%, 15%, 25%) yielding a net

electrical coding gain of up to 10 dB .

• The IXF30009 Optical Transport Processor offers

complete SONET/SDH section and line termination on

all incoming signals, either OC -48 or OC-192, and can

perform monitoring on 10 GbE signals. The device

I/Os are compliant to the OIF-standard SFI -4.

• The IXF30010 and IXF30011 devices are designed for

10 Gbps and Metro applications, respectiv ely, and

provide low cost solutions.
