Features

  • Monolithic single-chip device that integrates four full-featured T1 framers and transmitters for terminating duplex DS1 signals.
  • Supports SF, ESF, T1DM (DDS), and SLC96 format DS1 signals.
  • Supports unframed mode. Supports B8ZS or AMI line codes.
  • Supports transfer of PCM and signalling data to/from 1.544 Mbit/s, 2.048 Mbit/s, 12.352 Mbit/s, or 16.384 Mbit/s backplane buses.
  • Supports n x DS0 backplane interface for fractional T1.
  • Provides robbed-bit signalling extraction/insertion, programmable idle and digital milliwatt code substitution, and two superframes of signalling debounce on a per-channel basis.
  • Provides trunk conditioning which forces programmable trouble code substitution and signalling conditioning on all/selected channels.
  • Provides ESF bit-oriented code detection/generation, and an HDLC interface for terminating/generating the ESF data link.
  • Software and functionally compatible with the PM4341A T1XC Single T1 Transceiver. Pin-compatible with the PM6344 EQUAD Quad E1 Framer.
  • Provides an 8-bit microprocessor bus interface for configuration, control, and status monitoring.
  • Low power 5 V CMOS technology.
  • Available in a rectangular 128-pin PQFP (14 by 20 mm) package.

RECEIVE SECTION

  • Recovers clock and data using a digital PLL for high jitter tolerance.
  • Accepts/provides dual- or single-rail digital PCM inputs/outputs. Accepts gapped data streams to support higher rate demultiplexing.
  • Provides Loss Of Signal (LOS) detection, and red, yellow, and Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) alarm detection.
  • Detects violations of the ANSI T1.403 12.5% pulse density rule over a moving 192-bit window.
  • Provides programmable in-band loopback code detection.
  • Supports line and path performance monitoring according to AT&T and ANSI specifications. Accumulators are provided for counting, ESF CRC-6 errors, Framing bit errors, Line Code Violations (LCVs), and Loss Of Frame (LOF) or change of frame alignment events.
  • Extracts the data link in ESF, T1DM (DDS), or SLC96 modes. Extracts selected channels.
  • Provides a 2-frame elastic store buffer for jitter and wander attenuation.

TRANSMIT SECTION

  • Optionally accepts/provides dual-rail digital PCM inputs/outputs.
  • Provides per-channel minimum ones density through Bell (bit 7), GTE, DDS, or "jammed bit 8" (56 Kbit/s) zero code suppression.
  • Detects violations of the ANSI T1.403 12.5% pulse density rule over a moving 192-bit window.
  • Allows insertion of framed or un-framed in-band loopback code sequences.
  • Allows insertion of a data link in ESF, T1DM (DDS) or SLC96 modes.
  • Allows insertion of selected channels through a serial port.
  • Supports transmission of the AIS or the yellow alarm signal in all formats.
  • Provides a digital PLL for generation of a low jitter transmit clock.
  • Provides a FIFO buffer for jitter attenuation and transmit rate conversion. FIFO full or empty indication allows for bit-stuffing in higher rate multiplexing applications.

Applications

  • T1/T3 Multiplexers and Digital Private Branch Exchanges (PBXs).
  • T1 Frame Relay Interfaces.
  • T1 ATM Interfaces.
  • Fractional T1 Interfaces
  • Digital Access and Cross-Connect Systems (DACS) and Electronic DSX Cross-Connect Systems (EDSXs).
  • Digital Loop Carriers (DLCs).
  • T1 Channel Service Units (CSUs) and Data Service Units (DSUs).
  • ISDN Primary Rate Interfaces (PRIs).
  • SONET Add/Drop Multiplexers (ADMs).
