• Manufacturer Part Number: zl50073
• Description: 32 K Channel Digital Switch With High Jitter Tolerance, Rate Conversion Per Group Of 4 Streams 8, 16, 32 Or 64 Mbps
• Manufacturer: Zarlink Semiconductor

There are limitations when the ZL50073 is programmed to use CKi2 - 0 as the input stream clock source as
opposed to the internal clock:

See Section 14.4, Group Control Registers, for programming details.
This feature is used to advance the output data with respect to the output frame boundary. Each group has its own
bit advancement value which can be programmed in the Group Control Registers 0 - 31 (GCR0 - 31).
By default all output streams have zero bit advancement such that bit 7 is the first bit that appears after the output
frame boundary (assuming ST-BUS formatting). The output advancement is enabled by the Output Stream Bit
Advancement (bits 21 - 20) of the Group Control Registers 0 - 31 (GCR0 - 31), as described in Section 14.4. The
output delay can vary from 0 to 22.8 ns with a 7.6 ns increment. The exception to this is output streams
programmed at 65 Mbps, in which case the increment is 3.8 ns with a total advancement of 11.4 ns.
The granularity of the delay becomes 1/2 the selected reference clock period, or 1/4 bit, whichever is longer
If the selected reference clock frequency is the same as the stream bit rate, the granularity of the delay is 1/2 bit.
In this case, the least significant bit of the ISPD register is not used; the remaining 4 bits select the total delay in
1/2 bit increments, to a maximum of 7 1/2 bits. Also, the 0 bit delay reference point changes from the 3/4 bit
position to the 1/2 bit position.
