COMMAND REGISTER CR0-(N)
If the DLOS(n) bit-field contains a “1”, then the corre-
sponding channel(n) is currently declaring a DLOS
condition. Conversely, if the DLOS(n) bit-field con-
tains a “0”, then the channel(n) is currently declaring
the DLOS condition.
Disabling the DLOS Detector
For debugging purposes, it is useful to disable the
DLOS(n) detector. If the XRT73L04 is operating in
the HOST Mode, the DLOS Detector can be disabled
by writing a “1” into the DLOSDIS(n) bit-field in Com-
mand Register CR2.

Setting both the ALOSDIS(n) and DLOSDIS(n) bit-
fields to "1" disables LOS Declaration by Channel(n).
3.5.3
Muting the Recovered Data while the LOS
is being Declared
In some applications it is not desirable for a channel
within the E3/DS3/STS-1 LIU to recover data and
route it to the Receiving Terminal while the channel is
declaring an LOS condition. Consequently, the
XRT73L04 includes an LOS Muting feature. This fea-
ture, if enabled, causes a given channel to halt trans-
mission of the recovered data to the Receiving Termi-
nal while the LOS condition is "true". In this case, the
RPOS(n) and RNEG(n) output pins are forced to "0".
Once the LOS condition has been cleared, then the
channel(n) resumes normal transmission of the re-
covered data to the Receiving Terminal.
This feature is available whenever XRT73L04 is oper-
ating in the HOST Mode or Hardware Mode.
a. Operating in the Hardware Mode.
The MUTing upon LOS feature is enabled by pulling
the LOSMUTEN output pin “High". This enables the
MUTing upon LOS feature globally for all channels.
b. Operating in the HOST Mode.
The MUTing upon LOS feature for each Channel can
be enabled by writing a "1" into the LOSMUT(n) bit-
field within Command Register 3.
N
OTE
:
This step only enables the MUTing upon LOS fea-
ture within Channel(n).

Each channel ultimately takes the Recovered Timing
and Data information, converts it into CMOS levels
and routes it to the Receiving Terminal Equipment via
the RPOS(n), RNEG(n) and RxClk(n) output pins.
Each channel can deliver the recovered data and
clock information to the Receiving Terminal in either a
Single-Rail or Dual-Rail format.
3.6.1
Receiving Terminal Equipment
Whenever a channel delivers Dual-Rail format to the
Terminal Equipment, it does so via the following sig-
nals.
RPOS(n)
RNEG(n)
RxClk(n)
Figure 26 illustrates the typical interface for the trans-
mission of data in a Dual-Rail Format from the Re-
ceive Section of a channel to the Receiving Terminal
Equipment.
