Patent number: 7856075Abstract: The present invention provides a clock supply device and a clock supply method by which the holdover characteristics that maintains with high precision the same frequency as the frequency observed immediately before an error can be achieved simply with the addition of a high stability oscillator. An output clock signal that is output from a conventional PLL circuit is monitored with a clock signal of a high-stability fixed oscillator, and the monitor result is written in a memory. A holdover reference generating circuit averages the result written over a certain period of time. When a frequency error monitoring circuit detects a frequency error in an input reference signal, a selector selects a holdover reference, instead of the input reference signal, and inputs the holdover reference to the PLL circuit. Alternatively, the holdover reference generating circuit may select the input of the PLL circuit at the time of an error, and then perform holdover.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2007Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Makoto Kon, Keiichi Okuyama

Patent number: 5825821Abstract: A termination cross-connect device, receiving the first and second digital signals from the previous cross-connect device through different routes, checks whether the sink-side J1 identification is included in the first and second digital signals. When it is included, the termination cross-connect device adjusts a phase difference between the first and second digital signals based on the J1 byte such that the first and second digital signals coincide in phase with each other. After the first and second digital signals coincide in phase with each other, the hitless switching is performed from the first path to the second path. Not only a route length delay differences but also interconnection delays developed in the previous cross-connect device may be canceled out by performing the delay adjustment when the cross-connect switch of the previous cross-connect device is active but when it is inactive.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1996Date of Patent: October 20, 1998Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Keiichi Okuyama

Patent number: 5677931Abstract: Only when data inputted from first and second transmission paths agree with each other, a selector effects switching from the data from the first transmission path to the data from the second transmission path or from the data from the second transmission path to the data from the first transmission path. A transmission interface adds an overhead to the data of a payload outputted from the selector. A counter counts up at the timing of an overhead in the data inputted from the first transmission path based on an output signal from a multiframe synchronizing circuit that is associated with the first transmission path. In the absence of uninterrupted data switching by the selector, a parity bit is inserted into a random pattern generated by a random pattern generator, and the random pattern with the inserted parity bit is written into a memory while the counter is counting up.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 1995Date of Patent: October 14, 1997Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Keiichi Okuyama, Kunihiko Akama

Patent number: 5651027Abstract: When transmitting signals to the respective two paths having a routing length difference on a transmitting side, a signal identifying one and the other of the respective two paths is given to the transmission signal before transmission to one and the other of the paths. On the receiving side, after the two paths have been intentionally switched in the state of non-instantaneous disconnection from one path to the other under external control, a change from the signal identifying one of the paths to the signal identifying the other path is detected.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1995Date of Patent: July 22, 1997Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Keiichi Okuyama
