4.5 Transmitter Section On/Off:
The transmitter section of each channel can either be turned on or off. To turn on the transmitter, set the input
pin TxON to “High” (in Hardware Mode) or in Host Mode set the TxON_n control bits and tie the TxON pins
“High”
When the transmitter is turned off, TTIP_n and TRING_n are tri-stated.
NOTES:
1. This feature provides support for Redundancy.
2. If configured in Host mode, to permit a system designed for redundancy to quickly shut-off the defective line card
and turn on the back-up line card, setting the TxON_n control bits transfers the control to TxON pins.
5.0 THE RECEIVER SECTION:
This section describes the detailed operation of the various blocks in the receiver. The receiver recovers the
TTL/CMOS level data from the incoming bipolar B3ZS or HDB3 encoded input pulses.
5.1 AGC/Equalizer:
The Adaptive Gain Control circuit amplifies the incoming analog signal and compensates for the various flat
losses and also for the loss at one-half symbol rate. The AGC has a dynamic range of 30 dB.
The Equalizer restores the integrity of the signal and compensates for the frequency dependent attenuation up
to 900 feet of coaxial cable (1300 feet for E3). The Equalizer also boosts the high frequency content of the
signal to reduce Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) so that the slicer slices the signal at 50% of peak voltage to
generate Positive and Negative data.
The Equalizer can either be “IN” or “OUT” by setting the REQEN_n pin “High” or “Low” (in Hardware Mode) or
setting the REQEN_n control bit to “1” or “0” (in Host Mode).
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EQUALIZER SETTINGS:
The Equalizer has two gain settings to provide optimum equalization. In the case of normally shaped DS3/
STS-1 pulses (pulses that meet the template requirements) that has been driven through 0 to 900 feet of cable,
the Equalizer can be left “IN” by setting the REQEN_n pin to “High” (in Hardware Mode) or setting the
REQEN_n control bit to “1” (in Host Mode).
However, for square-shaped pulses such as E3 or for DS3/STS-1 high pulses (that does not meet the pulse
template requirements), it is recommended that the Equalizer be left “OUT” for cable length less than 300 feet
by setting the REQEN_n pin “Low” (in Hardware Mode) or by setting the REQEN_n control bit to “0” (in Host
Mode).This would help to prevent over-equalization of the signal and thus optimize the performance in terms of
better jitter transfer characteristics.
NOTE: The results of extensive testing indicates that even when the Equalizer was left “IN” (REQEN_n = “HIGH”),
regardless of the cable length, the integrity of the E3 signal was restored properly over 0 to 12 dB cable
loss at Industrial Temperature.
The Equalizer also contain an additional 20 dB gain stage to provide the line monitoring capability of the
resistively attenuated signals which may have 20dB flat loss. This capability can be turned on by setting the
RxMON_n bits in the control register or by setting the RxMON pin “High”. However, asserting or enabling
RxMON suppresses the internal LOS circuitry and LOS will never assert nor LOS be declared when operating with
RxMON enabled.
5.1.1 Interference Tolerance:
For E3 mode, ITU-T G.703 Recommendation specifies that the receiver be able to recover error-free clock and
data in the presence of a sinusoidal interfering tone signal. For DS3 and STS-1 modes, the same
recommendation is being used. Figure 17 shows the configuration to test the interference margin for DS3/
STS1. Figure 18 shows the set up for E3.
