Alternate Logic Mode (ALM)
The alternate logic mode (ALM) control bit (register 5,
bit 5) selects the receive and transmit data polarity (i.e.,
active-high vs. active-low). If ALM = 0, the receiver cir-
cuitry (and transmit input) assumes the data to be
active-low polarity. If ALM = 1, the receiver circuitry
(and transmit input) assumes the data to be active-high
polarity. The ALM control is used in conjunction with
the ACM control (register 5, bit 6) to determine the
receive data retiming mode.
Alternate Clock Mode (ACM)
The alternate clock mode (ACM) control bit (register 5,
bit 6) selects the positive or negative clock edge of the
receive clock (RCLK) for receive data retiming. The
ACM control is used in conjunction with ALM
(register 5, bit 5) control to determine the receive data
retiming modes. If ACM = 1, the receive data is retimed
on the positive edge of the receive clock. If ACM = 0,
the receive data is retimed on the negative edge of the
receive clock. Note that this control does not affect the
timing relationship for the transmitter inputs. See
Figure 23 on page 59.
RLIU Alarms
Analog Loss of Signal (ALOS) Alarm
. An analog sig-
nal detector monitors the receive signal amplitude and
reports its status in the analog loss of signal alarm bits
in registers 0 and 1. Analog loss of signal is indicated
(ALOS = 1) if the amplitude at the RRING and RTIP
inputs drops more than approximately 18 dB below the
nominal signal amplitude. The ALOS alarm condition
will clear when the receive signal amplitude returns to
greater than 14 dB below normal. In this way, the ALOS
circuitry provides 4 dB of hysteresis to prevent alarm
chattering. The ALOS alarm status bit will latch the
alarm and remain set until being cleared by a read
(clear on read). Upon the transition from ALOS = 0 to
ALOS = 1, a microprocessor interrupt will be generated
if the corresponding ALOS interrupt mask bit (MALOS;
registers 2 and 3, bits 0 and 4), the channel mask bit
(MASK; registers 6—9, bit 1), or the global mask bit
(GMASK; register 4, bit 0) is not set.
The time required to detect ALOS is selectable. When
ALTIMER = 0 (register 12, bit 0), ALOS is declared
between 1 ms and 2.6 ms after losing signal as
required by I.431(3/93) and ETS-300-233 (5/94). If
ALTIMER = 1, ALOS is declared between 10 and 255
bit symbol periods after losing signal as required by
G.775 (11/95). The timing is derived from the XCLK
clock. The detection time is independent of signal
amplitude before the loss condition occurs. Normally,
ALTIMER = 1 would be used only in CEPT mode since
no T1/DS1 standards require this mode. In T1/DS1
mode, this bit should normally be zero.
The behavior of the receiver LIU outputs under ALOS
conditions is dependent on the loss shutdown control
bit (LOSSD; register 5, bit 7) in conjunction with the
receive alarm indication select control bit (RCVAIS;
register 12, bit 1) as described in the Loss Shutdown
(LOSSD) and Receiver AIS (RCVAIS) section on
page 22.
Digital Loss of Signal (DLOS) Alarm
. A digital loss of
signal (DLOS) detector guarantees the received signal
quality as defined in the appropriate ANSI, Bellcore,
and ITU standards. The digital loss of signal alarms are
reported in the alarm status registers 0 and 1. During
DS1 operation, digital loss of signal (DLOS = 1) is indi-
cated if 100 or more consecutive zeros occur in the
receive data stream. The DLOS condition is deacti-
vated when the average ones density of at least 12.5%
is received in 100 contiguous pulse positions. The
DLOS alarm status bit will latch the alarm and remain
set until being cleared by a read (clear on read). The
LOSSTD control bit (register 4, bit 2) selects the con-
formance protocols for the DLOS alarm indication per
Table 8. Setting LOSSTD = 1 adds an additional con-
straint that there are less than 15 consecutive zeros in
the DS1 data stream before DLOS is deactivated.
