Chipset Does Cable Equalization & Driving & Clock Recovery

A chipset tailored specifically for the telecommunications market for cable equalization, clock recovery and cable driving is available in the CLC005 cable driver, CLC012 cable equalizer and CLC016 data-retiming PLL. The chips support Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) electrical STM-1 links at a data rate of 155 Mbps. They're used in SDH interfaces, such as those found in add-drop multiplexers, digital cross connects, SDH repeaters, and digital cellular base stations.System costs are lower because the chips replace up to six individual components traditionally used to perform the transceiver function. The set is also guaranteed to be fully compliant with the SDH or ITU-T G.703 standard.
