General Description
Functional Block Diagram
The Connor-Winfield Stratum 3+ Simplified Control
Timing Module (STM-3+) meets every Stratum 3
requirement of GR-1244-CORE-1995. In addition, it also
provides the enhanced Hold Over accuracy of Statum
3E specifications over 5° C range. Control loop filters
effectively attenuate any reference jitter and smooth out
phase transients.

The STM-3+ is designed to be controlled externally.
Full external control input allows the user to select and
monitor any of the four possible operating modes:
• Free Run Mode (A=0, B=0 =>Free Run=1)
• Normal Mode #1 (A=1, B=0 => Ref 1=1)
• Normal Mode #2 (A=0, B=1 =>Ref 2=1)
• Hold Over Mode (A=1, B=1 =>Hold Over=1)
Table 4 illustrates the control signal inputs (A,B) and the
corresponding operational modes. Real-time indication
of the operational mode is indicated by unique
operating mode outputs on pins 1-4. In addition, all
outputs can be placed into a high impedence state
when a high signal is placed on the Tri-State control pin
Normal Mode #1 results in an output signal that is
phase locked to the External Reference Input #1.
Normal Mode #2 results in an output signal that is
phase locked to External Reference Input #2. Hold Over
mode results in an output signal at or near the
frequency as determined by a past historical value and
the holdover performance of the STM. The historical
value is updated every 40 secs. In the absence of
External Control Inputs, the STM enters the default Free
Run mode and signals an external alarm. Free Run
mode is a guaranteed 4.ꢀ ppm of the nominal
frequency.

The STM-S3+ provides an alarm pin that goes high
during an alarm condition. Alarm signals are generated
at the Alarm Out pin during the following conditions:

approaching within the 10% limit of its lock capability
and LOL may soon occur.
