GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ITU-T recommendation G.8261 (formerly G.pactiming) specifies that network synchronization can be carried over packet links by synchronizing the bit clock of the physical layer as is currently done on SONET/SDH links. In the transmit direction, the device accepts traditional SONET/SDH system clocks such as 19.44MHz from redundant system timing cards and synthesizes frequency-locked xMII clock rates, such as the 125MHz GTX_CLK for GbE GMIIs. In the receive direction, each PHY divides down the recovered bit clock to produce the receive xMII clock. The DS3104-SE accepts the xMII clock from any of several Ethernet ports and forwards a frequency-locked system clock, such as 19.44MHz, to the system timing cards. SONET/SDH ports are also supported.
