1.1 Clocking the VIP in LT-T Mode by DELIC Layer 1 Clock
Figure 1 Clocking the VIP by using DELIC Layer 1 Clock
When the Central Office is activated, its clock signal is retrieved by the RxPLL of the VIP
and a 1.536 MHz reference signal is generated and used as input signal for the DELIC
DCXO (pin XCLK). This signal is divided down to 8 kHz and used as input for the DCXO
phase detector (PD). The second input to PD is another 8 kHz signal which originates
from the 16.384 MHz output of the DCXO.
The DELIC PLL multiplies the 16.384 MHz DCXO signal up to 61.44 MHz. A divider
generates the 15.36 MHz layer 1 clock which is used to clock the VIP.
When the Central Office is deactivated, the VIP takes its oscillator signal of 15.36 MHz
(the DELIC Layer 1 clock) divided by 10 and uses this signal as DELIC XCLK input as
replacement of the Central Office clock.
As a consequence, the DELIC DCXO gets its own signal as input for the PD. Since the
second PD input is also generated by the DCXO, the PLL system is unstable. This
results in the DCXO and the PLL running to its respective corner frequency. Therefore,
the 100 ppm clock accuracy, required by ITU-T I.430, cannot be guaranteed during this
time. When switching to another clock source (REFCLK), the DELIC DCXO will work
properly again.
