DS3106
Line Card Timing IC
General Description
The DS3106 is a low-cost timing IC for telecom line
cards. The device accepts two reference clocks from
dual redundant system timing cards, continually
monitors both inputs, and performs manual reference
switching if the primary reference fails. The highly
programmable DS3106 supports numerous input and
output frequencies including frequencies required for
SONET/SDH, Synchronous Ethernet (1G, 10G, and
100Mbps),
wireless
base
stations,
and
CMTS
systems. PLL bandwidths from 18Hz to 400Hz are
supported, and a wide variety of PLL characteristics
and device features can be configured to meet the
needs of many different applications.
The DS3106 register set is backward compatible with
Semtech’s ACS8526 line card timing IC. The DS3106
pinout is similar but not identical to the ACS8526.
Applications
SONET/SDH, Synchronous Ethernet, PDH, and
Other Line Cards in WAN Equipment Including
