XRT74L74 CONFIGURATION
The XRT74L74 DS3/E3 Framer IC can be configured
to support any of the following four framing formats.
• DS3/C-Bit Parity
• DS3/M13
• E3/ITU-T G.832
• E3/ITU-T G.751
As a consequence, the discussion of the XRT74L74
Framer IC will be organized as follows:
• Section 4.0 - DS3 Mode Operation of the
XRT74L74
• Section 5.0 - E3, ITU-T G.751 Operation of the
XRT74L74
• Section 6.0 - E3, ITU-T G.832 Operation of the
XRT74L74
• Section 7.0 - Framer Local Loop-back Mode
Operation
• Section 8.0 - High Speed HDLC Controller Mode
of Operation
5.0 DS3 OPERATION OF THE XRT74L74
This section will discuss in detail, the operation of the
XRT74L74 Framer IC, when it has been configured to
operate in the DS3 Mode.
Configuring the XRT74L74 to Operate in the DS3
Mode
The XRT74L74 can be configured to operate in the
DS3 Mode by writing a "1" into bit-field 6 within the
Framer Operating Mode register, as illustrated below.

Prior to describing the functional blocks within the
Transmit and Receive Sections of the XRT74L74, it is
important to describe the following two framing for-
mats.
• M13
• C-Bit Parity
5.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE DS3 FRAMES AND ASSOCI-
ATED OVERHEAD BITS
The role of the various overhead bits are best de-
scribed by discussing the DS3 Frame Format as a
whole. The DS3 Frame contains 4760 bits, of which
56 bits are overhead and the remaining 4704 bits are
payload bits. The payload data is formatted into
packets of 84 bits and the overhead (OH) bits are in-
serted between these payload packets. The
XRT74L74 Framer supports the following two DS3
framing formats:
• C-bit Parity
• M13
Figures 47 and 48 present the DS3 Frame Format for
C-bit Parity and M13, respectively.
