GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT73LC00A DS3/E3/STS-1 Line Interface Unit
is a low power CMOS version of the XRT73L00A and
consists of a line transmitter and receiver integrated
on a single chip and is designed for DS3, E3 or
SONET STS-1 applications.
XRT73LC00A can be configured to support the E3
(34.368 Mbps), DS3 (44.736 Mbps) or the SONET
STS-1 (51.84 Mbps) rates.
In the transmit direction, the XRT73LC00A encodes
input data to either B3ZS (for DS3/STS-1
applications) or HDB3 (for E3 applications) format
and converts the data into the appropriate pulse
shapes for transmission over coaxial cable via a 1:1
transformer.
In the receive direction the XRT73LC00A performs
equalization on incoming signals, performs Clock
Recovery, decodes data from either B3ZS or HDB3
format, converts the receive data into TTL/CMOS
format, checks for LOS or LOL conditions and detects
and declares the occurrence of line code violations.
The XRT73LC00A also contains a 4-Wire
Microprocessor Serial Interface for accessing the on-
chip Command registers.
