Technical Specifications

The S3017A typically operates from a 3.3V power supply. It supports programmable transmit and receive parameters, optimizing performance for various line conditions. The clock recovery circuit uses a phase-locked loop (PLL) for accurate timing extraction. The device incorporates built-in self-test (BIST) capabilities for performance monitoring. The physical interface usually involves transformer coupling to the T1/E1/J1 line, and it handles clock slips and frame alignment issues. Package options generally include surface-mount packages.
