PRELIMINARY
If the XRT73LC00A is operating in the HOST Mode,
the state of ALOS can be polled or monitored by
reading in the contents of Command Register 0. The
bit-format of Command Register 0 is presented be-
low.

If the ALOS bit-field contains a “1”, the XRT73LC00A
is currently declaring an ALOS condition. If the ALOS
bit-field contains a “0”, the device is NOT currently de-
claring an ALOS condition.
Disabling the ALOS Detector
It is useful to disable the ALOS Detector in the
XRT73LC00A for debugging purposes. If the
XRT73LC00A is operating in the HOST Mode, the
ALOS Detector can be disabled by writing a “1” into
the ALOSDIS bit-field in Command Register 2 as de-
picted below.

NOTE: Setting both the ALOSDIS and DLOSDIS bit-fields

2. The Digital LOS (DLOS) Declaration/Clear-
ance Criteria
The XRT73LC00A declare a Digital LOS (DLOS) con-
dition if the XRT73LC00A detects 160±32 or more
consecutive “0’s” in the incoming data.
The XRT73LC00A clears DLOS if it detects four con-
secutive sets of 32 bit-periods each of which contains
at least 10 “1’s” (e.g., average pulse density of greater
than 33%).
Monitoring the State of DLOS
If the XRT73LC00A is operating in the HOST Mode,
the state of DLOS can be polled or monitored by
reading in the contents of Command Register 0 as
shown.

If the DLOS bit-field contains a “1”, the XRT73LC00A

bit-field contains a “0”, the device is NOT currently de-
claring the DLOS condition.

3.6.3 Muting the Recovered Data while the LOS
is being Declared
In some applications it is not desirable for the
XRT73LC00A E3/DS3/STS-1 LIU to recover data and
route it to the Receiving Terminal while the LIU is de-
claring a LOS condition. The LOS Muting feature, if
enabled, causes the XRT73LC00A to halt transmis-
sion of the recovered data to the Receiving Terminal
while the LOS condition is True. In this case, the
RPOS and RNEG output pins are forced to “0”. Once
the LOS condition has been cleared, the
XRT73LC00A resumes the transmission of the recov-
ered data to the Receiving Terminal. The
XRT73LC00A allows enabling of the Muting Upon
LOS feature by either of the following means.
If the XRT73LC00A is Operating in the Hardware
Mode:
The Muting Upon LOS feature is enabled by pulling
the LOSMUTEN input pin (pin 19) to VDD.
If the XRT73LC00A is Operating in the HOST
Mode:
