3.6 LOS DECLARATION/CLEARANCE
The XRT73LC00A contains circuitry that monitors the
following two parameters associated with the incom-
ing line signals.
1. The amplitude of the incoming line signal via the
RTIP and RRING inputs; and
2. The number of pulses detected in the incoming
line signal within a certain amount of time.
If the XRT73LC00A determines that the incoming line
signal is missing due to insufficient amplitude or a
lack of pulses in the incoming line signal) then it de-
clares a Loss of Signal (LOS) condition. The
XRT73LC00A declares the LOS condition by toggling
the RLOS output pin “High” and by setting the RLOS
bit field in Command Register 0 to “1”.
If the XRT73LC00A determines that the incoming line
signal has been restored (e.g., there is sufficient am-
plitude and pulses in the incoming line signal) then it
clears the LOS condition by toggling the RLOS output
pin “Low” and setting the RLOS bit-field to “0”.
The LOS Declaration/Clearance scheme that is em-
ployed in the XRT73LC00A is based upon ITU-T Rec-
ommendation G.775 for both E3 and DS3 applica-
tions. The LOS Declaration and Clearance criteria
that the XRT73LC00A uses for each of these modes
(e.g., E3 and DS3) are presented below.
3.6.1 The LOS Declaration/Clearance Criteria
for E3 Applications
When the XRT73LC00A is operating in the E3 Mode,
it declares an LOS Condition if the signal amplitude
drops to -35dB or below. The XRT73LC00A clears
the LOS Condition if the signal amplitude rises back
up to -15dB or above. Figure 22 illustrates the signal
levels at which the XRT73LC00A asserts and clears
LOS.

Timing Requirements associated with Declaring
and Clearing the LOS Indicator for E3 Applica-
tions
The XRT73LC00A was designed to meet the ITU-T
G.775 specification timing requirements for declaring
and clearing the LOS indicator. The XRT73LC00A
declares an LOS between 10 and 255 UI or E3 bit-pe-
riods after the actual time the LOS condition oc-
curred. The XRT73LC00A clears the LOS indicator
within 10 to 255 UI after restoration of the incoming
