VSC8115 Overview
The VSC8115 functions as a clock and data recovery (CDR) unit for SONET/SDH-based equipment to derive highspeed timing signals. The VSC8115 recovers the clock from the scrambled non-return to zero (NRZ) data operating at 622.08 Mbps (STS-12/OC-12/STM-4) or 155.52 Mbps (STS-3/OC-3/STM-1). After the clock is recovered, the data is retimed using an output flip-flop.
