Supports four modes of operation: Locked to Reference 1, Locked to Reference 2, Holdover and Free-run. Accepts reference inputs from two independent sources from 8 kHz to 77.76 MHz. Provides two outputs up to 77.76 MHz. Loop filtering utilizing application specific software in the digital signal processor (DSP). Continuously monitors and evaluate input reference signals. Creates a history buffer for Holdover mode operation. Alarm and status signal. Host interface and JTAG port. Small dimensions of 1.80X1.80X 0.65 inch (open pkg) • APPLICATION The SY01-S3T performs clock regeneration as a Synchronous Equipment Clock (SEC), or STRATUM 3 in ATM, SDH, PDH, and SONET networks. It is designed for manufacturers of network equipment, especially Access Switches, Core Switches, Cross Connects, Digital Multiplexers-Exchangers, and SDH/SONET equipment. The unit is also suitable for PCS, WLL, and Wireless Base Stations. Wherever a Timing unit with high performance specifications is required, the SY01-S3T can be integrated into the network system and provide all necessary frequencies and interfaces. The input stage can receive two different input reference signals at various rates from 4 kHz to 77.76 MHz. An optional RALTRON ELECTRONICS CORP. § 10651 N.W.19th St § Florida 33172 § U.S.A.

The DSP is complemented by fast hardware logic (CPLD) where all multiplexers, counters, dividers, phase detectors, output frequency converters and other control logic circuits are completely implemented. The functional block diagram with maximum configuration is shown in figure 1. Depending on the application, the user can specify an appropriate configuration to fit their system requirements. The basic configuration utilizes one DPLL with an TCXO as on-board oscillator, shown in figure 1 as the shaded boxes. The TCXO is driven by a digital-to-analog converter (DAC1) and provides the accurate and stable signal under all conditions. The output frequency converters scale the output frequency from the oscillator. For other configurations, please contact Raltron. ü The module operates in the following four timing modes: Free-run In this mode the unit is unlocked to either of the inputs. The accuracy of the output frequencies in this mode is ±4.6ppm. Free-run mode is typically used when a master clock source is required, not valid history of data for the Holdover mode, or immediately following system power-up before network synchronization is achieved. In the Free-run Mode, the SY01-S3T provides timing and synchronization signals that are based on the accuracy of on-board oscillators only, and are not synchronized to the reference signals. Holdover In this mode the module has lost its reference inputs and is utilizing stored timing data, called history, to control the output frequency. Holdover Mode is typically used while network synchronization is temporarily disrupted. In Holdover Mode, the SY01-S3T provides timing, based on data from the history buffer, while unlocked to an external reference signal. The history data is determined while the device is locked to an external reference signal. The stability of the output signal in holdover mode depends primarily on the stability of on-board oscillator and environment effects where RALTRON ELECTRONICS CORP. § 10651 N.W.19th St § Florida 33172 § U.S.A.

The SY01-S3T uses an TCXO as an on-board oscillator but other types of oscillators are available. Locked to Ref.1 In this mode the output of the module is phase locked to input reference 1. Locked to Ref.2 In this mode the output of the module is phase locked to input reference 2. The REF1 or REF2 Modes are typically used when a slave clock source is synchronized to the network. In these modes, the SY01-S3T provides timing signals, which are synchronized, to one of two references inputs (REF1 or REF2). The input reference signals may have a variety of nominal frequencies, which is typically specified by the end user. When the modes are selected the unit goes through a reference evaluation, and then a frequency acquisition, and finally to phase locking. • Input References The SY01-S3T module accepts two input references EX REF1 and EX REF2. End users can specify the frequencies within a range of 8 kHz to 77.76 MHz. The input reference signals are HCMOS/TTL levels with timing characteristic in according to Bellcore GR-1244-core 3.2.1.R3-1 or equivalent standards. Please note that the end user must specify the two input frequencies at the time of order. • Output Signals The SY01-S3T module provides two output signals OUT and OPT OUT. The outputs are generated by the internal oscillator and scaled by the output frequency converters. The performance of the module significantly depends on the internal oscillator and special care was taken to define its specification. A Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) is used as the internal oscillator. The frequency of the oscillator is specified according to the network application where the SY01-S3T will be used. The frequency converters divide signal from the oscillator to the specified frequencies. • The SY01 Operation mode By changing the control inputs the user can change the state of the SY01 according to the state diagram. The SY01 offers two ways to manage state machine: J1 jumper Open Closed State diagram control Manual Automatic The behavior of the Manual and Automatic controls are shown on the figures 2 and 3 with an explanation for each transition. In the Automatic control the SY01 can be automatically switched to the reference (if available) regardless of status of the control inputs. In Manual control the unit waits for control inputs to be changed. In both modes the unit will go to the REFERENCE EVALUATION if the previously lost reference is required. • Control Two controls are available for the user to control the operation of the SY01. The two external inputs CNT1 and CNT2 provide this feature. Below, the truth table shows behavior of the SY01 module according to the control inputs states.
