Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute
stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess
of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended
periods can adversely affect reliability.

The CA16-type transponder performs the parallel-toserial-to-optical transport and optical transport-toserial-to-parallel function of the section and photonic layers of the SONET/SDH protocol. The CA16 transmitter section performs the bit serialization and optical transmission of SONET/SDH OC-48/STM-16 data that has been formatted into standard SONET/SDH compliant 16-bit parallel format. The CA16 receiver performs the optical-to-electrical conversion function and is then able to detect frame and byte boundaries and demultiplex the serial data into 16-bit parallel OC-48/STM-16 format.

The CA16 transponder does not perform byte-level multiplexing or interleaving.
