Functional Overview

The VSC9142 is a dual mode SONET/SDH to Packet/ATM framing device that integrates the physical layer components of 2.5 Gbps clock and data recovery and serialization/deserialization into a single device. In the Packet over SONET (POS) mode, this device can be used in equipment interconnecting IP/PPP/HDLC data over public or private SONET/SDH networks. Similarly, in the ATM over SONET (ATM) mode, this device can be used in equipment interconnecting ATM switches. In addition, the VSC9142 can be used in various applications involving LAPS (X.85/Y.1321) and Ethernet over SONET/SDH protocols.
