The BCM8210 SONET/SDH transceiver is a fully integrated
serialization/deserialization SONET OC-48 and STM SDH-16 (2.488
Gbps) interface device with an integrated clock multiplication unit
(CMU) and an integrated clock and data recovery circuit (CDR). On-
chip clock synthesis is performed by the high-frequency, low-jitter,
phase-locked loop on the BCM8210 transceiver chip, allowing the use of
a slower 77.76 MHz external transmit clock reference. Clock recovery is
performed on the device by synchronizing its on-chip VCO directly to
the incoming data stream. The low-jitter LVPECL interface guarantees
compliance with the bit error rate requiremen ts of the Telcordia GR-2 53-
CORE, ANSI, and ITU-T standards. The BCM8210 is packaged in a 14
¥ 20 mm, 128-pin PQFP.
