MT90401
Data Sheet
SONET or SDH mode. For SONET mode the loop filter has a corner frequency of 70 millihertz and the output
phase slope is limited to 885ns per second. For SDH mode the loop filter has a corner frequency of 1.1 Hertz and a
maximum phase slope of 53ns per 1.326 milliseconds. If the input signal exceeds this rate, such as for very large
amplitude low frequency input jitter, the maximum output phase slope will be limited.
The MT90401 has ten outputs that can be locked to four possible input frequencies for a total of 40 possible jitter
transfer functions. Since all outputs are derived from the same internal signal, the jitter transfer values for the four
cases, 8kHz to 8kHz, 1.544MHz to 1.544MHz, 2.048MHz to 2.048MHz 19.44 MHz to 19.44 MHz can be applied to
all outputs.

It should be noted that 1UI at 1.544MHz is 648ns, which is not equal to 1UI at 2.048MHz, which is 488ns.
Consequently, a transfer value using different input and output frequencies must be calculated in common units
(e.g., seconds) as shown in the following example.
Example: What is the T1 and E1 output jitter when the T1 input jitter is 20UI (T1 UI Units) and the T1 to T1 jitter
attenuation is 18dB?
