Abstract

See full text

A SONET formatter circuit (10) receives a parallel STS-1** TX signal (19) from a highspeed interface module. The STS-1** TX signal (19), which contains a floating VT group payload, is demultiplexed into seven parallel VT groups (33). These seven parallel VT groups (33) are converted to serial by a parallel to serial converter (34) and transmitted serially to lowspeed interface modules as DEMUX direction VT group data signals (42, 43). The SONET formatter circuit (10) also receives serial MUX direction VT group data signals (68, 69) from lowspeed interface modules. These serial VT group data signals (68, 69) are converted to seven parallel VT groups (89) by a serial to parallel converter (64). These seven parallel VT groups (89) are multiplexed with overhead data (84) into a parallel STS-1** RX signal (50) which is transmitted to a highspeed interface module. To maintain continuous VT group frame transmissions, a VT group clock generation circuit (72) is required.
