Abstract
A line card for use in a node of a network to connect to optical network lines is provided. The line card includes an optical interface, and a serializer/deserializer (SERDES) operating at a first frequency. The line card also includes a framer operating at a second frequency where the first frequency is higher than the second frequency. The framer includes a digital step up converter to receive data from the SERDES and a digital step down converter to supply data to the SERDES. The step down converter includes a set of input buffers where each input buffer receives a word of nibbles from the framer. The input buffers are loaded one after another, but extraction from each of the input buffers to a multi-stage multiplexer is triggered so long as a non-reset window is preserved. The step up converter includes a set of input buffers and a register array where each input buffer receives a word of nibbles from the register array. The input buffers are loaded one after another, but extraction from the input buffers to a multi-stage multiplexer is triggered so long as a non-reset window is preserved.
