Overview
Lattice's Quad GbE Over SONET/SDH Bridge is a hard IP Core implemented in two Lattice ORCA4E06 devices that act as a bridge between two Intel Dual-Port GbE MAC devices (part number IXF1002) and an Agere System's SONET Framer device (part number TADM042G5v2). External 64Mb DRAM is also used as part of the system for buffering data and flow control purposes. The 9-page Data Sheet provides a brief description of the IP Core, its signals, and the system solution. Please consult the Lattice factory for further information.
Key features
- Encapsulates GbE frames into SONET/SDH protocol using packet-over SONET (POS) and simplified data link (SDL)
- Quad OC-12c POS interface to the SONET/SDH network, each OC-12c carries one GbE data channel
- Performs all SONET/SDH section, line, and path termination functions
- Support for Jumbo Ethernet packets, up to 9.6 Kbytes
- Full packet error handling with parity error detection & error indication from Link Layer and MAC devices
- Robust 64-bit FIFO MAC interfaces with arbitrationd
- Flexible flow control at ingress & egress. Software-provisioned flow control provided through MPU interface
- SDRAM Controller with programmable watermark registers for buffering data & control in external memory
- Backpressure mechanism at ingress & egress using Ethernet flow control packets and programmable timers
- Motorola MPC860-compatible MPU interface for status & control

Part 2: Opening the 5G Radio Interface
Carriers are now deploying 5G across the globe driven by the need to keep up with relentless mobile data growth. 5G New Radio (NR) operates at higher frequencies to increase bandwidth, but at the expense of range. There will therefore be a need for a much larger number of 5G RUs to provide the same coverage. The availability of cost-effective, reliable and open 5G radio units is therefore critical.
How 224G SerDes Unifies Today’s AI Fabrics
AI system architects no longer face a binary choice between scale-up and scale-out fabrics. Modern AI platforms require both to be executed efficiently, predictably, and within aggressive schedules. The shift lies in how risk is managed across these domains.
