Transmit Line Build Enable/Disable Select (to be connected to the TxLev
input pin of the XRT73L03 E3/DS3/STS-1 LIU IC):
This output pin is intended to be connected to the TxLev input pin of the XRT73L03
E3/DS3/STS-1 LIU IC. The user can control the state of this output pin by writing a
“0” or a “1” to Bit 2 (TxLev) within the Line Interface Driver Register (Address =
0x72).
If the user commands this signal to toggle “High” then it will disable the “Transmit
Line Build-Out” circuitry within the XRT73L03 device. In this case, the XRT73L03
will output unshaped (square-wave) pulses onto the “Transmit Line Signal”. In
order to insure that the XRT73L03 generates a line signal that is compliant with the
Bellcore GR-499-CORE Pulse Template requirements (at the DSX-3 Cross-Con-
nect), the user is advised to set this output pin “High”, if the cable length (between
the Transmit Output of the XRT73L03 and the DSX-3 Cross-Connect) is greater
than 225 feet.
Conversely, if the user commands this signal to toggle “High”, then it will enable
the “Transmit Line Build-Out” circuitry within the XRT73L03 device. In this case,
the XRT73L03 will output shaped pulses onto the “Transmit Line Signal”. In order
to ensure that the XRT73L03 generates a line signal that is compliant with the
Bellcore GR-499-CORE Pulse Template requirements (at the DSX-3 Cross-Con-
nect), the user is advised to set this output pin “Low”, if the cable length (between
the Transmit Output of the XRT73L03 and the DSX-3 Cross Connect) is less than
225 ft. of cable.
Writing a “1” to Bit 2 of the Line Interface Drive Register (Address = 0x72) will
cause this output pin to toggle “High”. Writing a “0” to this bit-field will cause this
output pin to toggle “Low”.

If the customer is not using the XRT73L03 DS3/E3/STS-1 LIU IC, then this
output pin can be used for other purposes.

Transmit AIS Pattern input:
When this input pin is pulled “High” then the Transmit DS3 Framer block will insert
the AIS pattern into the DS3 output data stream.

Transmit End of DS3 Frame Indicator:
The function of this pin is same in both Clear Channel and ATM UNI modes of the
XRT72L73. This pin marks the end of each DS3 frame.
ATM UNI Mode
This pin is pulsed for one DS3 clock period when the transmit input interface is
processing the last bit of the given DS3 frame. This just serves as an indication to
terminal equpiment in the ATM UNI mode.
Clear Channel Mode
When the XRT72L73 is configured to operate in the “Clear-Channel Framer”
mode, then the Transmit DS3 Framer block will pulse this output pin “High” (for one
bit period) when the “Transmit Payload Data Input Interface” block is processing
the last bit of a given DS3 frame.
The purpose of this output pin is to alert the Terminal Equipment that it needs to
begin transmission of a new DS3 frame to the XRT72L73 (e.g., to permit the
XRT72L73 to maintain Transmit DS3 framing alignment control over the Terminal
Equipment).
