Environment
adequate cooling.
All device input and output signal levels are 3.3V LVTTL (Except VC_PPECL and VC_NPECL, which are LVPECL).
External Component Selection
The device pins to which they connect are also shown. The main oscillator may be an OCXO or TCXO:
The VCXO determines the Sync_Clk output frequency. Acceptable output frequencies are: 12.96 MHz, 19.44 MHz,
25.92 MHz, 38.88 MHz 51.84 MHz, 77.76 MHz, or 155.52 MHz. The device will operationally auto-detect the output
frequency.
The EEPROM is optional, and is required to hold device configuration data if the application intends to operate in
hardware control mode only (No bus interface). If the bus interface is used, the application may provide the
configuration data pump, and no EEPROM is required. See Application Notes, Configuration Data section.
Reference Inputs
be 8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz, 12.96 MHz, 19.44 MHz, 25.92MHz, 38.88 MHz, 51.84 MHz or 77.76 MHz. The
device auto-detects the reference frequencies, and they may be read from the Ref(1-8)_Frq_Priority registers in
register control mode, as described in the control mode sections that follow.
Reference switches are performed in a hitless manner. However, if the application externally changes the frequency of
a particular reference, the device requires 20mS to auto-detect the new frequency. Manual switches to a frequency
changed reference should not be made during this interval. Automatic reference selection mode accounts for the auto-
detection delay in the reference qualification.
References would typically (but need not be) connected in decreasing order of usage priority. For example if redundant
BITS clocks are available, they would typically be assigned to Ref1 and Ref2, with other transmission derived signals
following thereafter.
Master/slave operation
duplicated. The STC3800 device will support the master/slave duplicated configuration for such applications. To
facilitate it’s use, the device includes the necessary signal cross coupling and control functions. Redundancy for
reliability implies two major considerations:
1) Maintaining separate failure groups such that a failure in one group does not affect it’s mate, and 2) Physical and
logical partitioning for repair, such that a failed component can be replaced while the mate remains in service, if so
desired. System design needs to account for these appropriately for system level goals to be met.
