Description
The CA16-type transponder performs the parallel-to-
serial-to-optical transport and optical transport-to-
serial-to-parallel function of the section and photonic
layers of the SONET/SDH protocol. The CA16 trans-
mitter section performs the bit serialization and opti-
cal transmission of SONET/SDH OC-48/STM-16
data that has been formatted into standard SONET/
SDH compliant 16-bit parallel format. The CA16
receiver performs the optical-to-electrical conversion
function and is then able to detect frame and byte
boundaries and demultiplex the serial data into 16-bit
parallel OC-48/STM-16 format.
The CA16 transponder does not perform byte-level
multiplexing or interleaving.

CA16-Type 2.5 Gbits/s DWDM Transponder with
March 2001
16-Channel 155 Mbits/s Multiplexer/Demultiplexer
Description
(continued)
Figure 1 shows a simplified block diagram of the CA16-
Type transponder. This device is a bidirectional module
designed to provide a SONET or SDH compliant elec-
tro-optical interface between the SONET/SDH photonic
physical layer and the electrical section layer. The mod-
ule contains a wavelength-tunable (two channels at
100 GHz) 2.5 Gbits/s optical transmitter and a
2.5 Gbits/s optical receiver in the same physical pack-
age along with the electronics necessary to multiplex
and demultiplex sixteen 155 Mbits/s electrical channels.
Clock synthesis, clock recovery, and SONET/SDH
frame detection circuits are also included within the
module.
In the transmit direction, the transponder module multi-
plexes sixteen 155 Mbits/s PECL electrical data signals
into an optical signal at 2488.32 Mbits/s for launching
into optical fiber. An internal 2.488 GHz reference oscil-
lator is phase-locked to an external 155.52 MHz data
timing reference.
The optical transmitter is available at any ITU grid
wavelength with a 1.55 m cooled DFB laser for long-
reach applications. The optical output signal is SONET
and ITU compliant for OC-48/STM-16 applications as
shown in Table 4, OC-48/STM-16 Transmitter Optical
Characteristics.
In the receive direction, the transponder module
receives a 2488.32 Mbits/s optical signal and converts
it to an electrical signal, and then extracts a clock sig-
nal and demultiplexes the data into sixteen 155 Mbits/s
differential LVPECL data signals. When enabled, the
module can also detect SONET/SDH frame bound-
aries. The optical receiver is available with an APD
photodetector. The receiver operates over the wave-
length range of 1.1 m to 1.6 m and is fully compliant
to SONET/SDH OC-48/STM-16 physical layer specifi-
cations as shown in Table 5, OC-48/STM-16 Receiver
Optical Characteristics.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are abso-
lute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess
of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended
periods can adversely affect reliability.

TxD[0:15]P
TxD[0:15]N
16-Bit Differential LVPECL Parallel Input Data Bus. TxD15P/N is the most significant bit of the
input word and is the first bit serialized. TxD00P/N is the least significant bit of the input word and
is the last bit serialized. TxD[0:15]P/N is sampled on the rising edge of PIC

N
Differential LVPECL Low Jitter 155.520 MHz Input Reference Clock. This input is used as the
reference for the internal clock frequency synthesizer, which generates the 2.5 GHz bit rate clock
used to shift data out of the parallel-to-serial converter and also for the byte-rate clock, which
transfers the 16-bit parallel input data from the input holding register into the parallel-to-serial shift
register. Input is internally terminated and biased. See discussion on timing interface, page 18.
TxDIS
Transmitter Disable Input. A logic high on this input pin shuts off the transmitter's laser so that
there is no optical output.
WS
Wavelength Select. When this input is a logic 0 or left floating, the output wavelength will be the
nominal wavelength (at 25 C); when it is a logic 1, the wavelength will increase by approximately
0.8 nm (100 GHz frequency decrease).
DLOOP
Diagnostic Loopback Enable (LVTTL). When the D
LOOP
input is low, the 2.5 Gbits/s serial data
stream from the parallel-to-serial converter is looped back internally to the serial-to-parallel con-
verter along with an internally generated bit synchronous serial clock. The received serial data
path from the optical receiver is disabled.
LLOOP
Line Loopback Enable (LVTTL). When L
LOOP
is low, the 2.5 Gbits/s serial data and recovered
clock from the optical receiver are looped directly back to the optical transmitter. The multiplexed
serial data from the parallel-to-serial converter is ignored.
PHINIT
Phase Initialization (Single-Ended LVPECL). This input is used to align the internal elastic store
(FIFO). A rising edge on PHINIT will realign the internal timing (see FIFO discussion, pages 12
and 18).
FRAMEN
*
Frame Enable Input (LVTTL). Enables the frame detection circuitry to detect A1, A2 byte align-
ment and to lock to a word boundary. The CA16 transponder will continually perform frame acqui-
sition as long as FRAMEN is held high. When this input is low, the frame-detection circuitry is
disabled. Frame-detection process is initiated by rising edge of out-of-frame pulse.
OOF
*
Out of Frame (LVTTL). This input indicator is typically generated by external SONET/SDH over-
head monitor circuitry in response to a state in which the frame boundaries of the received
SONET/SDH signal are unknown, i.e., after system reset or loss of synchronization. The rising
edge of the OOF input initiates the frame detection function if FRAMEN is high. The FP output
goes high when the frame boundary is detected in the incoming serial data stream from the opti-
cal receiver.
RESET
Master Reset (LVTTL). Reset input for the multiplexer and demultiplexer. A logic low on this input
clears all buffers and registers. During RESET, POC
LK
and PC
LK
do not toggle.

.
FP
*
Frame Pulse (LVPECL). Indicates frame boundaries in the received serial data stream. If framing

SEARCH
*
A1 A2 Frame Search Output (LVTTL). A high on this output pin indicates that the frame detection
circuit is active and is searching for a new A1 A2 byte alignment. This output will be high during the
entire A1 A2 frame search. Once a new alignment is found, this signal will remain high for a mini-
mum of one 155 MHz clock period beyond the third A2 byte before it will be set low.
LOS
Loss of Signal (LVTTL). A low on this output indicates a loss of clock by the clock recovery circuit
in the optical receiver.
LSRBIAS
Laser Bias Alarm (Analog). The analog bias alarm is not available on the CA16 transponders.
LSRALM
Laser Degrade Alarm (5 V CMOS). This output goes to a logic 0 when the laser output power
degrades 2 dB below the nominal output power.
LPM
Laser Power Monitor (Analog). Provides an indication of the output power level from the transmit-
ter laser. This output is set at 500 mV for the nominal transmitter optical output power. If the optical
power decreases by 3 dB, this output will drop to approximately 250 mV, and if the output power
should increase by 3 dB, this output will increase to 1000 mV.
PC

P/N
Parallel Byte Clock (Differential LVPECL). A byte-rate reference clock generated by dividing the
internal 2.488 GHz serial bit clock by 16. This output is normally used to synchronize byte-wide
transfers from upstream logic into the CA16 transponder. See timing discussion for additional
details, page 18.
PHERR
Phase Error Signal (Single-Ended LVPECL). Pulses high during each PC
LK
cycle for which there
is a potential setup/hold timing violation between the internal byte clock and the PIC

domain. PHERR is updated on the falling edge of the PC
LK
outputs.
IPDMON
Receiver Photodiode Current Monitor (Analog). This output provides a current output that is a
mirror of the of the photocurrent generated by the optical receiver's photodetector diode (APD or
PIN). A 10 k
resistor from pin 2 to ground provides a voltage at this output ranging from ~1 mV to
~800 mV, depending on the optical input power.
WDEA
Wavelength Deviation Alarm (5 V TTL). This output changes logic levels whenever the optical
transmitter's wavelength deviates from the nominal wavelength by more than 100 pm.
LOCKDET

CA16-Type 2.5 Gbits/s DWDM Transponder with
Advance Data Sheet
16-Channel 155 Mbits/s Multiplexer/Demultiplexer
March 2001
Functional Description
Receiver
The optical receiver in the CA16-type transponder has an
APD and is optimized for the particular SDH/SONET
application segment in which it was designed to operate.
The detected serial data output of the optical receiver is
connected to a clock and data recovery circuit (CDR),
which extracts a 2488.32 MHz clock signal. This recov-
ered serial bit clock signal and a retimed serial data signal
are presented to the 16-bit serial-to-parallel converter and
to the frame and byte detection logic.
The serial-to-parallel converter consists of three 16-bit
registers. The first is a serial-in parallel-out shift register,
which performs serial-to-parallel conversion. The second
is an internal 16-bit holding register, which transfers data
from the serial-to-parallel register on byte boundaries as
determined by the frame and byte detection logic. On the
falling edge of the free-running POC
LK
signal, the data in
the holding register is transferred to the output holding
register where it becomes available as RxQ[0:15].
Note: Future versions of the cooled transponder will
not support the frame-detect function.
The frame and byte boundary detection circuitry searches
the incoming data for three consecutive A1 bytes followed
immediately by an A2 byte. Framing pattern detection is
enabled and disabled by the FRAMEN input. The frame
detection process is started by a rising edge on OOF
while FRAMEN is active (FRAMEN = high). It is disabled
when a framing pattern is detected. When framing pattern
detection is enabled (FRAMEN = high), the framing pat-
tern is used to locate byte and frame boundaries in the
incoming serial data stream from the CDR circuits. During
this time, the parallel output data bus (RxQ[0:15]) will not
contain valid data. The timing generator circuitry takes the
located byte boundary and uses it to block the incoming
serial data stream into bytes for output on the parallel out-
put data bus (RxQ[0:15]). The frame boundary is reported
on the framing pulse (FP) output when any 32-bit pattern
matching the framing pattern is detected in the incoming
serial data stream. When framing detection is disabled
(FRAMEN = low), the byte boundary is fixed at the loca-
tion found when frame detection was previously enabled.
Transmitter
The optical transmitter in the CA16-type transponder is
optimized for the particular SDH/SONET segment in
which it is destined to operate. The transmitter has a
cooled DFB laser as the optical element and operates at a
nominal 1550 nm (45 standard ITU wavelengths are avail-
able for DWDM applications). Under user control, the
transmitter can switch to either one of two adjacent ITU
wavelengths (100 GHz spacing). The transmitter is driven
by a serial data stream developed in the parallel-to-serial
conversion logic and by a 2488.32 MHz serial bit clock sig-
nal synthesized from the 155.52 MHz T
X
R
EF
C
LK
input.
Note that the clock divider and phase-detect circuitry
shown in Figure 1 generates internal reference clocks and
timing functions for the transmitter. Therefore, it is impor-
tant that the TxR
EF
C
LK
input is generated from a precise
and stable source. To prevent internal timing signals from
producing jitter in the transmitted serial data that exceeds
the SDH/SONET jitter generation requirements of 0.01 UI,
it is required that the TxR
EF
C
LK
input be generated from a
crystal oscillator or other source having a frequency accu-
racy better than 20 ppm. In order to meet the SDH/
SONET jitter generation requirement, the reference clock
jitter must be guaranteed to be less than 1 ps rms over the
12 kHz to 20 MHz bandwidth. When used in SONET net-
work applications, this input clock must be derived from a
source that is synchronized to the primary reference clock.
The timing generation circuitry provides two separate
functions. It develops a byte rate clock that is synchro-
nized to the 2488.32 MHz transmit serial clock, and it pro-
vides a mechanism for aligning the phase between the
incoming byte clock (PIC
LK
) and the clock that loads the
parallel data from the input register into the parallel-to-
serial shift register.
The PC
LK
output is a byte rate (155 MHz) version of the
serial transmit clock and is intended for use by upstream
multiplexing and overhead processing circuits. Using
PC
LK
for upstream circuits will ensure a stable frequency
and phase relationship between the parallel data coming
into the transmitter and the subsequent parallel-to-serial
timing functions. In the parallel-to-serial conversion pro-
cess, the incoming data is passed from the PIC
LK
byte
clock timing domain to the internally generated byte clock
timing domain that is phase aligned to the internal serial
transmit clock. The timing generator also produces a feed-
back reference clock to the phase detector. A counter
divides the synthesized clock down to the same frequency
as the reference clock TxR
EF
C
LK
.
The parallel-to-serial converter shown in Figure 1 is com-
prised of an FIFO and a parallel-to-serial register. The
FIFO input latches the data from the TxD[0:15]P/N bus on
the rising edge of PIC
LK
. The parallel-to-serial register is a
loadable shift register that takes parallel input from the
FIFO output. An internally generated divide-by-16 clock,
which is phase aligned to the transmit serial clock, as
described above, activates the parallel data transfer
between registers. The serial data is shifted out of the par-
allel-to-serial register at the transmit serial clock rate.

Loopback Modes
The CA16-type transponder is capable of operating in
either of two loopback modes: diagnostic loopback or
line loopback.
Line Loopback
When L
LOOP
is pulled low, the received serial data
stream and recovered 2488.32 MHz serial clock from
the optical receiver are connected directly to the serial
data and clock inputs of the optical transmitter. This
establishes a receive-to-transmit loopback at the serial
line rate.
Diagnostic Loopback
When D
LOOP
is pulled low, a loopback path is estab-
lished from the transmitter to the receiver. In this mode,
the serial data from the parallel-to-serial converter and
the transmit serial clock is looped back to the serial-to-
parallel converter and the frame and byte detect cir-
cuitry, respectively.

LK
P/
N outputs are high-speed (155 Mbits/s), LVPECL differ-
ential data and clock signals. To maintain optimum sig-
nal fidelity, these inputs and outputs must be
connected to their terminating devices via 50 con-
trolled-impedance transmission lines. The transmitter
inputs (TxD[0:15]P/N, TxR
EF
C
LK
P/N, and PIC
LK
P/N)
must be terminated as close as possible to the CA16
transponder connector with a Thevenin equivalent
impedance equal to 50
terminated to Vcc 2 V. The
receiver outputs (RxQ[0:15]P/N, POC
LK
P/N, and
PC
LK
P/N) must be terminated as close as possible to
the device (IC) that these signals interface to with a
Thevenin equivalent impedance equal to 50
termi-
nated to Vcc 2 V.
Figure 3, below, shows one example of the proper ter-
minations. Other methods may be used, provided they
meet the requirements stated above.

CA16-Type 2.5 Gbits/s DWDM Transponder with
Advance Data Sheet
16-Channel 155 Mbits/s Multiplexer/Demultiplexer
March 2001
Timing Characteristics
Transmitter Data Input Timing
The CA16 transponder utilizes a unique FIFO to
decouple the internal and external (PIC
LK
) clocks. The
FIFO can be initialized, which allows the system
designer to have an infinite PC
LK
-to-PIC
LK
delay
through this interfacing logic (ASIC or commercial chip
set). The configuration of the FIFO is dependent upon
the I/O pins, which comprise the synch timing loop.
This loop is formed from PHERR to PHINIT and PC
LK
to PIC
LK
.
The FIFO can be thought of as a memory stack that
can be initialized by PHINT or LOCKDET. The PHERR
signal is a pointer that goes high when a potential tim-
ing mismatch is detected between PIC
LK
and the inter-
nally generated PC
LK
clock. When PHERR is fed back
to PHINIT, it initializes the FIFO so that it does not over-
flow or underflow.
The internally generated divide-by-16 clock is used to
clock-out data from the FIFO. PHINIT and LOCKDET
signals will center the FIFO after the third PIC
LK
pulse.
This is done to ensure that PIC
LK
is stable. This
scheme allows the user to have an infinite PC
LK
to
PIC
LK
delay through the ASIC. Once the FIFO is cen-
tered, the PC
LK
and PIC
LK
can have a maximum drift of
5 ns.
During normal operation, the incoming data is passed
from the PIC
LK i
nput timing domain to the internally
generated divide-by-16 PC
LK
timing domain. Although
the frequency of PIC
LK
and PC
LK
is the same, their
phase relationship is arbitrary. To prevent errors caused
by short setup or hold times between the two domains,
the timing generator circuitry monitors the phase rela-
tionship between PIC
LK
and PC
LK
.
When an FIFO timing violation is detected, the phase
error (PHERR) signal pulses high. If the condition per-
sists, PHERR will remain high. When PHERR is fed
back into the PHINIT input (by shorting them on the
printed-circuit board [PCB]), PHINIT will initialize the
FIFO if PHINIT is held high for at least two byte clocks.
The initialization of the FIFO prevents PC
LK
and PIC
LK
from concurrently trying to read and write over the
same FIFO bank.
During realignment, one-to-three bytes (16 bits wide)
will be lost. Alternatively, the customer logic can take in
the PHERR signal, process it, and send an output to
the PHINIT input in such a way that only idle bytes are
lost during the initialization of the FIFO. Once the FIFO
has been initialized, PHERR will go inactive.

Input Timing Mode 1
In the configuration shown in Figure 5, PHERR to
PHINIT has a zero delay (shorted on the PCB) and the
PC
LK
is used to clock 16-bit-wide data out of the cus-
tomer ASIC. The FIFO in the multiplexer ia 16-bits wide
and six registers deep.
The PC
LK
and PIC
LK
signals respectively control the
READ and WRITE counters for the FIFO. The data
bank from the FIFO has to be read by the internally
generated clock (PC
LK
) only once after it has been writ-
ten by the PIC
LK
input.
Since the delay in the customer ASIC is unknown, the
two clocks (PC
LK
and PIC
LK
) might drift in respect to
each other and try to perform the read and writer oper-
ation on the same bank in the FIFO at the same time.
However, before such a clock mismatch can occur,
PHERR goes high and, if externally connected to
PHINIT, will initialize the FIFO provided PHINIT
remains high for at least two byte clocks. One to three
16-bit words of data will be lost during the initialization
of the FIFO.

Input Timing Mode 2
To avoid the loss of data, idle or dummy bytes should
be sent on the T
X
D[0:15] bus whenever PHERR goes
high. In the configuration shown in Figure 6, the
PHERR signal is used as an input to the customer
logic. Upon detecting a high on the PHERR signal, the
customer logic should return a high signal, one that
remains high for at least two byte-clock cycles, to the
PHINIT input of the CA16. Also, when PHERR goes
high, the customer logic should start sending idle or
dummy bytes to the CA16 on the T
X
D[0:15] bus. This
should continue until PHERR goes low.
The FIFO is initialized two-to-eight byte clocks after
PHINIT goes high for two byte clocks. PHERR goes low
after the FIFO is initialized. Upon detecting a low on
PHERR, the customer logic can start sending real data
bytes on T
X
D[0:15]. The two timing loops (PC
LK
to
PIC
LK
and PHERR to PHINIT) do not have to be of
equal length.

Forward Clocking
In some applications, it is necessary to forward-clock
the data in a SONET/SDH system. In this application,
the reference clock from which the high-speed serial
clock is synthesized and the parallel data clock both
originate from the same source on the customer appli-
cation circuit. The timing control logic in the CA16 tran-
sponder transmitter automatically generates an internal
load signal that has a fixed relationship to the reference
clock. The logic takes into account the variation of the
reference clock to the internal load signal over temper-
ature and voltage. The connections required to imple-
ment this clocking method are shown in Figure 7. The
setup and hold times for PIC
LK
to TxD[0:15] must be
met by the customer logic.
Possible problems: to meet the jitter generation specifi-
cations required by SONET/SDH, the jitter of the refer-
ence clock must be minimized. It could be difficult to
meet the SONET jitter generation specifications using
a reference clock generated from the customer logic.

PHERR/PHINIT
Case 1--PHERR and PHINIT are shorted on the
printed-circuit board:
PHINIT would go high whenever there is a potential tim-
ing mismatch between PC
LK
and PIC
LK
. PHINIT would
remain high as long as the timing mismatch between
PC
LK
and PIC
LK
. If PHINIT is high for more than two
byte clocks, the FIFO will be initialized. PHINIT will ini-
tialize the FIFO two-to-eight byte clocks after it is high
for at least two byte clocks, PHERR (and thus PHINIT)
goes active once the FIFI is initialized.
Case 2--PHERR signal is input to the customer logic
and the customer logic outputs a signal to PHINIT:
Another possible configuration is where the PHERR
signal is input into the customer logic and the customer
logic sends an output to the PHINIT input. However,
the customer logic must ensure that, upon detecting a
high on PHERR, the PHINIT signal remains high for
more than two byte clocks. If PHINIT is high for less
than two byte clocks, the FIFO is not guaranteed to be
initialized. Also, the customer logic must ensure that
PHINIT goes low after the FIFO is initialized (PHERR
goes low).

Note: Future versions of the cooled transponder
will not support the frame-detect function.
Figure 12 shows a typical reframe sequence in which a
byte realignment is made. The frame and byte bound-
ary detection is enabled by the rising edge of OOF.
Both the frame and byte boundaries are recognized
upon receipt of the first A2 byte following three consec-
utive A1 bytes. The third A2 byte is the first data byte to
be reported with the correct byte alignment on the out-
going data bus (RxD[15:0]). Concurrently, the frame
pulse (FP) is set high for one POC
LK
cycle.
The frame and byte boundary detection block is acti-
vated by the rising edge of OOF and stays active until
the first FP pulse.
Figure 13 shows the frame and byte boundary detec-
tion activation by a rising edge of OOF and deactiva-
tion by the first FP pulse.
Figure 14 shows the frame and byte boundary detec-
tion by the activation of a rising edge of OOF and deac-

Wavelength Selection
When the wavelength select (WS) pin is at a logic low or open circuited, the optical wavelength from the CA16
transmitter will be a nominal wavelength as determined by the device code purchased. If the WS pin is pulled high
(logic 1), the optical wavelength will change to the next lower ITU channel number (100 GHz spacing,
will
increase approximately 0.8 nm).
During the wavelength change, the transmitter's optical output will be disabled and the wavelength deviation error
alarm will be active until the wavelength has stabilized at its new value. The LSRALM will also be active (logic 1)
during the wavelength change process.
