RLOS is the logical OR of the DLOS and ALOS states. When the RLOS condition occurs the RLOS output pin
is toggled “High” and the RLOS bit is set to “1” in the status control register.

DISABLING ALOS/DLOS DETECTOR:
For debugging purposes it is useful to disable the ALOS/DLOS detector. Writing a “1” to the ALOS and DLOS
bits disables the LOS detector on a per channel basis.
5.4.2 E3 LOS Condition:
If the level of incoming line signal drops below the threshold as described in the ITU-T G.775 standard, the
LOS condition is detected. Loss of signal level is defined to be between 15 and 35 dB below the normal level. If
the signal drops below 35 dB for 175 ± 75 consecutive pulse periods, LOS condition is declared. This is
illustrated in Figure 19.
