It is one of a family of documents covering various aspects ofsynchronization networks:Part 1-1:"Definitions and terminology for synchronization networks";Part 2-1:"Synchronization network architecture";Part 3-1:"The control of jitter and wander within synchronization networks";Part 4-1:"Timing characteristics of slave clocks suitable for synchronization supply to SynchronousDigital Hierarchy (SDH) and Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) equipment";Part 4-2:"Timing characteristics of slave clocks suitable for synchronization supply to Synchronous DigitalHierarchy (SDH) and Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) equipment ImplementationConformance (ICS) Statement";Part 5-1:"Timing characteristics of slave clocks suitable for operation in Synchronous Digital Hierarchy(SDH) equipment";Part 6-1:"Timing characteristics of primary reference clocks";Part 6-2:"Timing characteristics of primary reference clocks Implementation Conformance (ICS)Statement";Part 7-1:"Timing characteristics of slave clocks suitable for synchronization supply to equipment in localnode applications".Parts 1-1, 2-1, 3-1 and 5-1 have previously been published as ETS 300 462 Parts 1, 2, 3 and 5, respectively.Additionally, parts 4-1 and 6-1 completed the Voting phase of the Two Step Approval procedure as ETS 300 462 Parts4 and 6, respectively.It was decided to prepare ICS proformas for several of the parts and this necessitated a re-numbering of the individualdocument parts. It was also decided to create a new part 7-1.This in turn led to a need to re-publish new versions of all six parts of the original ETS. At the same time, theopportunity was taken to convert the document type to EN.This has involved no technical change to any of the documents. However part 5-1 has been modified, due to editorialerrors which appeared in ETS 300 462-5.SIST EN 300 462-4-1 V1.1.1:2003

ETSIEN 300 462-4-1 V1.1.1 (1998-05)61ScopeThis European Standard (Telecommunications series) outlines requirements for timing devices called SynchronizationSupply Units (SSUs) used in synchronizing network equipment in the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) transportnetwork and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) network.NOTE 1:The requirements in the present document apply under environmental conditions according to one of theenvironmental classes defined in ETS 300 019 [1], unless stated otherwise. The manufacturer will need tospecify to which specific environmental class an equipment belongs.A description of the Synchronization Supply Unit (SSU) logical function is given in figure 1 in EN 300 462-2-1 [3]. Ingeneral, the SSU will have multiple timing reference inputs and in the event that all timing references fail, the SSUshould be capable of maintaining operation (holdover) within prescribed performance limits as detailed in the presentdocument. The requirements laid down in the present document decribe the minimum performance of an SSU applied asa transit node clock. It is recognized that local node clock applications for SSU’s exist, requiring different parameters.Those are for further study.NOTE 2:There can be situations in which more stringent requirements are applicable, for instance, in cases wherean SSU has only one independent reference (e.g. due to limitations in the network topology).The SSU function can be implemented in a separate piece of equipment called a Stand-Alone SynchronizationEquipment (SASE) or it can form a logical function of another equipment such as a telephony exchange or an SDHcross-connect.The requirements specified in the present document refer to the design of new synchronization networks andconsequently they do not necessarily represent the performance of existing synchronization networks and equipment.A timing device within SDH equipment can also conform to EN 300 462-5-1 [5].2ReferencesThe following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the presentdocument.· References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) ornon-specific.· For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.· For a non-specific reference, subsequent revisions do apply.· A non-specific reference to an ETS shall also be taken to refer to later versions published as an EN with the samenumber.[1]ETS 300 019: "Equipment Engineering (EE); Environmental conditions and environmental testsfor telecommunications equipment".[2]EN 300 462-1-1: "Transmission and Multiplexing (TM); Generic requirements for synchronizationnetworks; Part 1-1: Definitions and terminology for synchronization networks".[3]EN 300 462-2-1: "Transmission and Multiplexing (TM); Generic requirements for synchronizationnetworks; Part 2-1: Synchronization network architecture".[4]EN 300 462-3-1: "Transmission and Multiplexing (TM); Generic requirements for synchronizationnetworks; Part 3-1: The control of jitter and wander within synchronization networks".[5]EN 300 462-5-1: "Transmission and Multiplexing (TM); Generic requirements for synchronizationnetworks; Part 5-1: Timing characteristics of slave clocks suitable for operation in SynchronousDigital Hierarchy (SDH) equipment".SIST EN 300 462-4-1 V1.1.1:2003

Since the SSUis a slave clock, then the normal operating modes are either locked or holdover. The frequency accuracy specification inholdover mode is specified in clause 9.SIST EN 300 462-4-1 V1.1.1:2003



ETSIEN 300 462-4-1 V1.1.1 (1998-05)85Pull-in and pull-out rangesThe minimum pull-in range shall be ± 0,01 ppm, whatever the internal oscillator frequency offset may be. The pull-outrange is for further study.6Noise generationThe noise generation of an SSU represents the amount of phase noise produced at the output when there is an ideal inputreference signal or the clock is in holdover state. A suitable reference, for practical testing purposes, implies aperformance level at least 10 times more stable than the output requirements. The ability of the clock to limit this noiseis described by its frequency stability. The measures Maximum Time Interval Error (MTIE) and Time Deviation(TDEV) are useful for characterization of noise generation performance.For observation intervals, t, between 0,1 s and 10 000 s, MTIE and TDEV are measured through an equivalent 10 Hz,first order, low-pass measurement filter, at a maximum sampling time t0 of 1/30 second. The minimum measurementperiod, T, for TDEV is twelve times the observation interval (T = 12t). Further guidance is provided in clause A.2 ofEN 300 462-3-1 [4].6.1Wander in locked modeWhen the SSU is in the locked mode of operation, the MTIE and TDEV measured using the synchronized clockconfiguration defined in figure 1a) of EN 300 462-1-1 [2] shall have the limits in tables 1 and 2, if the temperature isconstant (± 1 K).Table 1: Wander in locked mode for constant temperature specified in TDEVRequirementObservation interval3 ns0,1 < t £ 25 s0,12t ns25 < t £ 100 s12 ns100 < t £ 10 000 sTable 2: Wander in locked mode for constant temperature specified in MTIERequirementObservation interval24 ns0,1 < t £ 9 s8t0,5 ns9 < t £ 400 s160 ns400 < t £ 10 000 sThe model used to derive these numbers is described in (informative) annex A.

ETSIEN 300 462-4-1 V1.1.1 (1998-05)106.2Non-locked wanderWhen a clock is not locked to a synchronization reference, the random noise components are negligible compared todeterministic effects like initial frequency offset. Consequently the non-locked wander effects are included insubclause 9.2.6.3JitterWhile most specifications in the present document are independent of the output interface at which they are measured,this is not the case for jitter production; jitter generation specifications shall utilize existing specifications that arecurrently specified differently for different interface rates. These requirements are stated separately for the interfacesidentified in clause 10. To be consistent with other jitter requirements the specifications are in Unit Interval peak to peak(UIpp), where the Unit Interval (UI) corresponds to the reciprocal of the bit rate of the interface.Due to the stochastic nature of jitter, the peak-to-peak values given in this clause eventually are exceeded. Therequirements shall therefore be fulfilled with a probability of 99 %.6.3.1Output jitter at a 2 048 kHz and 2 048 kbit/s interfaceIn the absence of input jitter, the intrinsic jitter at a 2 048 kHz or 2 048 kbit/s output interface as measured over a60 seconds interval shall not exceed 0,05 UIpp when measured through a band-pass filter with corner frequencies at20 Hz and 100 kHz each with a first order 20 dB/decade roll-off characteristic.6.3.2Output jitter at a Synchronous Transport Module N (STM-N)interfaceIn the absence of input jitter at the synchronization interface, the intrinsic jitter at STM-N output interfaces as measuredover a 60 seconds interval shall not exceed the limits given in table 4.Table 4: Output jitter requirements for STM-N interfacesInterfaceMeasuring filter(Hz)Peak-to-peak amplitude(UI)STM-1 electrical500 to 1,3 M0,5065 k to 1,3 M0,075STM-1 optical500 to 1,3 M0,5065 k to 1,3 M0,10STM-41 k to 5 M0,50250 k to 5 M0,10STM-165 k to 20 M0,501 M to 20 M0,10NOTE:for STM-1:1 UI = 6,43 ns;for STM-4:1 UI = 1,61 ns;for STM-16:1 UI = 0,40 ns.7Noise toleranceNoise tolerance of an SSU indicates the minimum phase noise level at the input of the clock that should beaccommodated whilst:-maintaining the clock within prescribed performance limits in locked mode of operat
