 Features

 

  • Detects and aligns to the STM1 Framing Pattern
  • Synchronizes to the STM1 received frames and generates LOS, LOF and OOF alarms. Inserts framing bytes into the transmit STM1 frames.
  • Descrambles received STM1 Frames and Scrambles transmit STM1 frames. Scrambling / De-Scrambling can be enabled or disabled.
  • Integrates in built SERDES unit.
  • Extracts STM1 Payload for use in STM-1 / AU-3 or STM-1 / AU-4 interface applications, operating at serial interface speeds of 155.52 Mbit/s.
  • Provides termination for SDH Regenerator Section and Multiplexer Section transport overhead, and path overhead of three AU-3 paths or a single AU-4 path.
  • All the SDH transport and path overheads are extracted from the receive stream and are available for processing.
  • Interprets or generates the AU pointer bytes (H1, H2, H3), extracts or inserts the synchronous payload envelope(s), and processes or inserts the path overhead.
  • Detects B1, B2 and B3 parity errors.
  • Supports dual clock domains, facilitating the use of independent system and line clocks.
  • Provides microprocessor interface for configuration, control and status information processing.

 Resource Utilization

 

The following figures are calculated assuming that all core IOs are routed off-chip. This results in a worst-case resource utilization figure, and for any given application the resource utilization is likely to be lower.

The core can be targeted for devices from other families and manufactures. Contact KritiKal Solutions Pvt. Ltd. for further details.
