Fast Lock
retiming clock to the incoming data within 80 bit periods of initiation. As a requirement for the operation of the
fastlock function, the driving system must send a 0101 bit pattern while the fastlock pin is at a high logic level.
The FASTLOCK function is active simultaneously on all four data channels The fastlock pin has a TTL input
receiver meeting the specifications contained in Table 7. Note that jitter tolerance and re-timed data jitter are
degraded in FASTLOCK mode.
Loss of Signal
on each channel sequentially. There is a loss of signal latch and active low indicator pin (LOS[0:3]N) for each
channel. In addition, there is an alarm pin (LOSALMN) which indicates the OR of the latched states of the four
channel indicators. The alarm pin uses an open drain output, so the alarm pins from multiple parts can be wired
together. A weak external pull resistor (approximately 1k Ohm) must be provided to utilize the wired NOR
alarm function. To facilitate system troubleshooting, the LOS latches can only be cleared by the active high
LOSCLR input.
of signal alarm (LOSALM) to be cleared. The LOSCLR input is asynchronous. It must be held active for at
least two reference clock cycles. A channel found to be missing after the error latch has been cleared, will again
set its error latch and the LOSALMN.
data activity includes pseudo-random data at a baud rate 16 times the reference clock frequency, and data
including at least 8500 consecutive bits of a 101010... pattern. The detector will allow the OC-48 framing pat-
tern to pass without triggering LOS. The LOS detector is disabled when FASTLOCK mode is active.
can be masked. This is controlled by the MASK[0:3] pins. Each of those pins, when pulled high, disables the
effect of its respective channel on the loss of signal alarm (LOSALM). If all MASK pins are pulled high, the
LOSALM signal will not pull down. The loss of signal indicators for individual channels are not affected by the
MASK pins.
The VSC8124 supports a fastlock clock recovery mode which enables the clock recovery unit to lock the
