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.

Processors are available in three-pin and softw are-
compatible versions:

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.
