format) or 6.6 Hz (for the T1 formats) are attenuated by 6 dB per octave of jitter
frequency. Phase variations below these jitter frequencies are tracked by
TCLKO.
Jitter Characteristics
The DJAT provides excellent jitter tolerance and jitter attenuation while
generating minimal residual jitter. It can accommodate up to 28 UIpp of input
jitter at jitter frequencies above 6 Hz for T1 interfaces or 9 Hz (for E1 interfaces).
For jitter frequencies below 6/9 Hz, more correctly called wander, the tolerance
increases 20 dB per decade. In most applications DJAT will limit jitter tolerance
at lower jitter frequencies only. The DJAT block meets the low frequency jitter
tolerance requirements of AT&T TR 62411 for T1 interfaces, and ITU-T G.823 for
E1 interfaces.
Outgoing jitter may be dominated by the generated residual jitter in cases where
the incoming jitter is insignificant. This residual jitter is directly related to the use
of the 24x clock for the digital phase locked loop.
For T1 interfaces, DJAT meets the jitter attenuation requirements of AT&T TR
62411. DJAT meets the implied jitter attenuation requirements for a TE or an
NT1 specified in ANSI T1.408, and for a type II customer interface specified in
ANSI T1.403.
For E1 interfaces, DJAT meets the jitter attenuation requirements of ITU-T
Recommendations G.737, G.738, G.739, and G.742.
Jitter Tolerance
Jitter tolerance is the maximum input phase jitter at a given jitter frequency that a
device can accept without exceeding its linear operating range, or corrupting
data. For DJAT, the input jitter tolerance is 29 Unit Intervals peak-to-peak (UIpp)
for a T1 interface with a worst case frequency offset of 354 Hz. The input jitter
tolerance is 35 UIpp for an E1 interface with a worst case frequency offset of 308
Hz. It is 48 UIpp with no frequency offset. The frequency offset is the difference
between the frequency of XCLK divided by 24 and that of the input data clock.
These tolerances are shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 below:
