Quad T1 Framer
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 SLC
96 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.
