DETAILED DESCRIPTION

SLK2721

SLLS532B – JUNE 2002 – REVISED MARCH 2007

The SLK2721 device is designed to support the OC-48/24/12/3 data rates. It also supports a higher data rate

that may be required for FEC support, up to 2.7 Gbps. The operating data speed can be configured through the

RSEL0 and RSEL1 pins as indicated in Table 1 for normal SONET rates. For FEC support, the clock and data

rates need to be scaled up as required. The highest data and clock rates supported are 675 Mbps and 675 MHz,

respectively.

Table 1. Data Rate Select

SERIAL DATA RATE RSEL0 RSEL1 PARALLEL LVDS DATA RATE TXCLK/RXCLK

OC-48: 2.488 Gbps 0 0 622.08 Mbps 622.08 MHz

OC-24: 1.244 Gbps 1 0 311.04 Mbps 311.04 MHz

OC-12: 622 Mbps 0 1 155.52 Mbps 155.52 MHz

OC-3: 155.52 Mbps 1 1 38.88 Mbps 38.88 MHz

The user can also enable the autorate detection circuitry through the AUTO_DETECT pin. The device

automatically detects the OC-N of the data line rate and generates two bits of output to indicate the data rate to

other devices in the system. When using AUTO_DETECT, RSEL0 and RSEL1 need to be set to 00 or be

unconnected.

The SLK2721 device has four operational modes controlled by two configuration pins. Table 3 lists these

operational modes. When the device is put in a certain mode, unused circuit blocks are powered down to

conserve system power.

While the transceiver mode, transmit only mode, and receive only mode are straightforward, the repeater mode

of operation is shown in Figure 4 . The receive serial data is recovered by the extracted clock, and it is then sent

back out on the transmit serial outputs. The data eye is open both vertically and horizontally in this process. In

the repeater mode, the user can select to turn on the RX demultiplexer function through RX_MONITOR pin and

allow the parallel data to be presented. This feature enables the repeater device not only to repeat but also to

listen in.
