Abstract :
We have implemented a SONET/SDH compatible 155 Mbit/s input block using a new paradigm called programmable intellectual property. The module can be reconfigured by downloading new software versions into the IP embedded processor. This concept offers maximum flexibility for both hard- and soft-IP modules
