SyncE devices for mobile multimedia, packetized data apps

Microsemi Corp. has released what it touts as the industry's largest synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) product portfolio with a single-chip, line card device for mobile multimedia and packet-based carrier Ethernet applications. The ZL30150 features two integrated digital phase lock loops (DPLLs) that can lock on to up to four inputs for applications that require independent transmit and receive timing paths.

The line card device also integrates two numerically controlled oscillators (NCOs) aimed at network measurement and control systems used in GSM, WCDMA and LTE applications. It likewise supports the Synchronous Optical Ethernet ports for 10GBASE-W and 10GBASE-R requiring multiple frequency translation paths to synchronize the optical port with the system backplane and to translate the receive line clock rate to the system backplane clock rate for use in system synchronization.

The ZL30150 is available in volume production quantities. Additional information on Microsemi's Synchronous Ethernet timing devices including full data sheets and application notes is available to qualified customers.
