2.048 MHz (E1) that clocks in the received digital data on pins RXA and RXB with its
rising edge.
Device Overview
The MT9076 is a T1/E1/J1 single chip transceiver that incorporates an advanced framer, a long-haul LIU (Line
Interface Unit), a low jitter PLL (Phase Locked Loop) and 3 HDLCs (High-level Data Link Controller). The T1, E1
and J1 operating modes are selectable under software control.
Standards Compliance
In T1 mode, the MT9076 meets or supports the latest recommendations including Telcordia GR-303-CORE, AT&T
PUB43801, TR-62411, ANSI T1.102, T1.403 and T1.408. In T1 ESF mode the CRC-6 calculation and yellow alarm
can be configured to meet the requirements of a J1 interface.
In E1 mode, the MT9076 meets or supports the latest ITU-T Recommendations for PCM 30 and ISDN primary rate
including G.703, G.704, G.706, G.732, G.775, G.796, G.823, G.964 (V5.1), G.965 (V5,2) and I.431. It also meets or
supports ETSI ETS 300 011, ETS 300 166, ETS 300 233, ETS 300 324 (V5.1) and ETS 300 347 (V5.2).

MT9076B
Data Sheet
Microprocessor Port
The MT9076 registers are accessible via an 8-bit parallel Motorola or Intel non-multiplexed microprocessor
interface.
LIU
The MT9076 LIU interfaces the digital framer functions to either the DS1 (T1 mode) or PCM 30 (E1 mode)
transformer-isolated four wire line.
In T1 mode, the LIU can pre-equalize the transmit signal to meet the T1.403 and T1.102 pulse templates after
attenuation by 0 - 655 feet of 22 AWG PIC cable, alternatively it can provide line build outs of 7.5 dB, 15 dB and
22.5 dB. In T1 mode the receiver can recover signals attenuated by up to 36 dB at 772 kHz.
In E1 mode, the LIU transmits signals that meet the G.703 2.048 Mbit/s pulse template and the receiver can recover
signals attenuated by up to 40 dB at 1024 kHz.
Digital Framer Only Mode
To accommodate some special applications, the MT9076 supports a digital framer only mode that provides direct
access to the transmit and receive data in digital format, i.e., by-passing the analog LIU front-end. In digital framer
only mode, the MT9076 supports unipolar non-return to zero or bipolar return to zero data.
PLL and Slip Buffers
The MT9076 PLL attenuates jitter from 2.5 Hz with a roll-off of 20 dB/decade. The intrinsic jitter is less than 0.02 UI.
The device can operate in one of three timing modes: System Bus Synchronous Mode, Line Synchronous Mode, or
Free-run Mode. In all three timing modes the low jitter output of the PLL provides timing to the transmit side of the
LIU.
In T1 mode, the receive and transmit paths both include two-frame slip buffers. The transmit slip buffer features
programmable delay and serves as a Jitter Attenuator (JA) FIFO and a rate converter between the ST-BUS and the
1.544 Mbit/s T1 line rate.
In E1 mode, the receive path includes a two-frame slip buffer and the transmit path contains a 128 bit Jitter
Attenuator (JA) FIFO with programmable depth.
Interface to the System Backplane
On the system side the MT9076 framers can interface to a 2.048 Mbit/s or 8.192 Mbit/s ST-BUS backplane.
There is an asynchronous mode for Inverse MUX for ATM (IMA) applications, this enables the framer to interface to
a 1.544 Mbit/s (T1) or 2.048 Mbit/s (E1) serial bus with asynchronous transmit and receive timing.
Framing Modes
The MT9076 framers operate in termination mode or transparent mode. In the receive transparent mode, the
received line data is channelled to the DSTo pin with arbitrary frame alignment. In the transmit transparent mode,
no framing or signaling is imposed on the data transmitted from the DSTi pin onto the line.
In T1 mode, the framers operate in any of the following framing modes: D4, Extended Superframe (ESF) or SLC96.
In E1 mode, the framers run three framing algorithms: basic frame alignment, signaling multiframe alignment and
CRC-4 multiframe alignment. The Remote Alarm Indication (RAI) bit is automatically controlled by an internal state
machine.

Data Sheet
Access to the Maintenance Channel
The T1 ESF Facility Data Link (FDL) bits can be accessed in the following three ways: Through the data link pins
TxDL, RxDL, RxDLC and TxDLC; through internal registers for Bit Oriented Messages; through an embedded
HDLC.
In E1 mode, the Sa bits (bits 4-8 of the non-frame alignment signal) can be accessed in four ways: Through data
link pins TxDL, RxDL, RxDLC and TxDLC, through single byte transmit and receive registers; through five byte
transmit and receive national bit buffers; through an embedded HDLC.
Robbed Bit Signaling/Channel Associated Signaling
Robbed bit signaling and channel associated signaling information can be accessed two ways: Via the microport;
via the CSTi and CSTo pins. Signaling information is frozen upon loss of multiframe alignment.
In T1 mode, the MT9076 supports AB and ABCD robbed bit signaling. Robbed bit signaling can be enabled on a
channel by channel basis.
In E1 mode the MT9076 supports Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) multiframing.
HDLCs
The MT9076 provides three embedded HDLCs with 128 byte deep transmit and receive FIFOs.
In T1 mode, the embedded HDLCs can be assigned to any channel and can operate at 56 kbit/s or 64 kbit/s. In T1
ESF mode, HDLCO can be assigned to the 4 kbit/s FDL.
In E1 mode, the embedded HDLCs can be assigned to any timeslot and can operate at 64 kbit/s. HDLCO can be
assigned to timeslot 0 Sa bits (bits 4-8 of the non-frame alignment signal) and can operate at 4,8,12,16 or 20 kbit/s.
Performance Monitoring and Debugging
The MT9076 has a comprehensive suite of performance monitoring and debugging features. These include error
counters, loopbacks, deliberate error insertion and a 215 –1 QRS/PRBS generator/detector.

MT9076 Line Interface Unit (LIU)
1.1
Receiver
Data Sheet
The receiver portion of the MT9076 LIU consists of an input signal peak detector, an optional equalizer with
separate high pass sections, a smoothing filter, data and clock slicers and a clock extractor. Receive equalization
gain can be set manually (i.e., software) or it can be determined automatically by peak detectors.
The output of the receive equalizer is conditioned by a smoothing filter and is passed on to the clock and data slicer.
The clock slicer output signal drives a phase locked loop, which generates an extracted clock (Exclk). This
extracted clock is used to sample the output of the data comparator.
In T1 mode, the receiver portion of the LIU can recover clock and data from the line signal for loop lengths of 0 6000 ft. of 22 AWG cable and tolerate jitter to the maximum specified by AT&T TR 62411(Figure 3).
The LOS output pin function is selectable to indicate any combination of loss of signal and/or loss of basic frame
synchronization condition.
The LLOS (Loss of Signal) status bit indicates when the receive signal level is lower than the analog threshold for at
least 1 millisecond, or when the number of consecutive received zeros exceeds the digital loss threshold.
In E1 mode, the analog threshold is either of -20 dB or -40 dB. The digital loss threshold is either 32 or 192.
In T1 mode, the receive LIU circuit requires a terminating resistor of 100  across the device side of the receive 1:1
transformer.
In E1 mode, the receive LIU circuit requires a terminating resistor of either 120  or 75  across the device side of
the receive 1:1 transformer.
The jitter tolerance of the clock extractor circuit exceeds the requirements of TR 62411 in T1 mode (see Figure 3)
and G.823 in E1 mode (see Figure 4).

1.2
Transmitter
The transmit portion of the MT9076 LIU consists of a high speed digital-to-analog converter and complementary
line drivers.
When a pulse is to be transmitted, a sequence of digital values (dependent on transmit equalization) are read out of
a ROM by a high speed clock. These values drive the digital-to-analog converter to produce an analog signal,
which is passed to the complementary line drivers.
The complementary line drivers are designed to drive a 1:2.4 step-up transformer in T1 mode and either a 1:2 or
1:2.4 step-up transformer in E1 mode (see Figure 5). A 0.47 uF capacitor is required between the TTIP and the
transmit transformer. Resistors RT (as shown in Figure 5) are for termination for transmit return loss. The values of
RT may be optimized for T1 mode, E1 120  lines, E1 75  lines or set at a compromise value to serve multiple
applications. Program the Tx LIU Control Word (page 02H, address 11H) to adjust the pulse amplitude accordingly.
Alternatively, the pulse level and shape may be discretely programmed by writing to the Custom Pulse Level
registers (page 2, addresses 1CH to 1FH) and setting the Custom Transmit Pulse bit high (bit 3 of the Tx LIU
Control Word). In this case the output of each of the registers directly drives the D/A converter going to the line
driver. Table 1 and Table 2 show recommended transmit pulse amplitude settings.
In T1 mode, the template for the transmitted pulse (the DSX-1 template) is shown in Figure 6. The nominal peak
voltage of a mark is 3 volts. The ratio of the amplitude of the transmit pulses generated by TTIP and TRING lie
between 0.95 and 1.05.
In E1 mode, the template for the transmitted pulse, as specified in G.703, is shown in Figure 7. The nominal peak
voltage of a mark is 3 volts for 120  twisted pair applications and 2.37 volts for 75  coax applications. The ratio of
the amplitude of the transmit pulses generated by TTIP and TRING lie between 0.95 and 1.05.

Phase Lock Loop (PLL)
The MT9076 contains a PLL, which can be locked to either an input 4.096 MHz clock or the extracted line clock.
The PLL will attenuate jitter from less than 2.5 Hz and roll-off at a rate of 20 dB/decade. Its intrinsic jitter is less than
0.02 UI. The PLL will meet the jitter transfer characteristics as specified by AT&T document TR 62411 and the
relevant recommendations as shown in Figure 3.

Clock Jitter Attenuation Modes
MT9076 has three basic jitter attenuation modes of operation, selected by the BS/LS and S/FR/Exclki control pins.
•
System Bus Synchronous Mode
•
Line Synchronous Mode
•
Free-run mode
Depending on the mode selection above, the PLL can either attenuate transmit clock jitter or the receive clock jitter.
Table 5 shows the appropriate configuration of each control pin to achieve the appropriate mode and Jitter
attenuation capability of the MT9076.

Table 5 - Selection of Clock Jitter Attenuation Modes using the M/S and MS/FR Pins
In System Bus Synchronous mode, pins C4b and F0b are always configured as inputs, while in the Line
Synchronous and Free-Run modes C4b and F0b are configured as outputs.
Referring to the mode names given in Table 5 the basic operation of the jitter attenuation modes are:
•
In System Bus Synchronous mode an external clock is applied to C4b. The applied clock is dejittered by the
internal PLL before being used to synchronize the transmitted data. The clock extracted (with no jitter
attenuation performed) from the receive data can be monitored on pin Exclk.
28
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
MT9076B
Data Sheet
•
In Line Synchronous mode, the clock extracted from the receive data is dejittered using the internal PLL and
then output on pin C4b. Pin Exclk provides the extracted receive clock before it has been dejittered. The
transmit data is synchronous to the clean receive clock.
•
In Free-Run mode the transmit data is synchronized to the internally generated clock. The internal clock is
output on pin C4b. The clock signal extracted from the receive data is not dejittered and is output directly on
Exclk.
2.1
Jitter Attenuator FIFO
In System Bus Synchronous operation, a data buffer is required between the jittered input clock and the clean
transmit clock. In normal T1 mode, the transmit slip buffer performs this function. In T1 IMA mode, the transmit slip
buffer is unused, instead a jitter attenuator FIFO is employed. In an E1 mode System Bus Synchronous
configuration, the jitter attenuator FIFO is always used. In this case the C4b signal clocks the data into the FIFO,
the PLL de-jitters the C4b clock and the resulting clean C4b signal clocks the data out of the FIFO.
The JA meets the jitter transfer characteristics as proposed by ETSI ETS 300 011, G.735 and the relevant
recommendations as shown in Figure 10. The JA FIFO depth can be selected to be from 16 to 128 words deep, in
multiples of 16 (2-bit) words. Its read pointer can be centered by changing the JFC bit (address 13H of page 02H) to
provide maximum jitter tolerance. If the read pointer should come within 4 bits of either end of the FIFO, the read
clock frequency will be increased or decreased by 0.0625 UI to correct the situation. The maximum time needed to
centre is Tmax= 3904Depth ns, where Depth is the selected JA FIFO depth. During this time the JA will not
attenuate jitter.
2.2
2.2.1
IMA Mode
T1 Mode
In T1 IMA Mode, neither the transmit nor the receive slip buffers are activated. Channel Associated signaling (CAS)
and HDLC operation is not supported. The input pin C4b accepts a 1.544 MHz clock and it clocks incoming data
from DSTi into a jitter attenuator FIFO. This clock is dejittered with the internal PLL. The dejittered clock clocks data
out of the FIFO for transmission onto the line. Receive clock (1.544 MHz) and data is extracted from the line and
routed to pins Exclk and DSTo respectively. The receive clock Exclk is not dejittered before being driven off chip.
For operation in IMA mode, the MT9076 should be programmed in System Bus Synchronous mode (BS/LS and
S/FR/Exclki set high).
2.2.2
E1 Mode
In E1 IMA Mode neither the transmit nor the receive slip buffers are activated. The input pin C4b accepts a
2.048 MHz clock and it clocks incoming data from DSTi into a jitter attenuator FIFO. This clock is dejittered with the
internal PLL. The dejittered clock clocks data out of the FIFO for transmission onto the line. Receive clock
(2.048 MHz) and data is extracted from the line and routed to pins Exclk and DSTo respectively. The receive clock
Exclk is not dejittered before being driven off chip. For operation in IMA mode, the MT9076 should be programmed
in System Bus Synchronous mode (BS/LS and S/FR/Exclki set high).
3.0
The Digital Interface
3.1
T1 Digital Interface
In T1 mode, DS1 frames are 193 bits long and are transmitted at a frame repetition rate of 8000 Hz, which results in
an aggregate bit rate of 193 bits x 8000/sec= 1.544 Mbits/sec. The actual bit rate is 1.544 Mbits/sec +/-50 ppm
optionally encoded in B8ZS format. The Zero Suppression control register (page 1, address 15H,) selects either
B8ZS encoding, forced one stuffing or alternate mark inversion (AMI) encoding. Basic frames are divided into 24
time slots numbered 1 to 24. Each time slot is 8 bits in length and is transmitted most significant bit first (numbered
bit 1). This results in a single time slot data rate of 8 bits x 8000/sec. = 64 kbits/sec.
29
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
MT9076B
Data Sheet
It should be noted that the Zarlink ST-BUS has 32 channels numbered 0 to 31. When mapping to the DS1 payload
only the first 24 time slots and the last (time slot 31, for the overhead bit) of an ST-BUS are used (see Table 6). All
unused channels are tristate.
When signaling information is written to the MT9076 in T1 mode using ST-BUS control links (as opposed to direct
writes by the microport to the on - board signaling registers), the CSTi channels corresponding to the selected DSTi
channels streams are used to transmit the signaling bits.
Since the maximum number of signaling bits associated with any channel is 4 (in the case of ABCD), only half a
CSTi channel is required for sourcing the signaling bits. The choice of which half of the channel to use is selected
by the control bit MSN (page 01H address 14H). The same control bit selects which half of the CSTo channel will
contain receive signaling information (the other nibble in the channel being tristate). Unused channels are tristate.
The most significant bit of an eight bit ST-BUS channel is numbered bit 7 (see Zarlink Application Note MSAN-126).
Therefore, ST-BUS bit 7 is synonymous with DS1 bit 1; bit 6 with bit 2: and so on.

3.2.1
Frame and Superframe Structure in T1 Mode
Multiframing
In T1 mode, DS1 trunks contain 24 bytes of serial voice/data channels bundled with an overhead bit. The frame
overhead bit contains a fixed repeating pattern used to enable DS1 receivers to deliniate frame boundaries.
Overhead bits are inserted once per frame at the beginning of the transmit frame boundary. The DS1 frames are
further grouped in bundles of frames, generally 12 (for D4 applications) or 24 frames (for ESF - extended
superframe applications) deep. Table 7 and Table 8 illustrate the D4 and ESF frame structures respectively.
For D4 links the frame structure contains an alternating 101010... pattern inserted into every second overhead bit
position. These bits are intended for determination of frame boundaries, and they are referred to as Ft bits. A
separate fixed pattern, repeating every superframe, is interleaved with the Ft bits. This fixed pattern (001110), is
used to deliniate the 12 frame superframe. These bits are referred to as the Fs bits. In D4 frames # 6 and #12, the
LSB of each channel byte may be replaced with A bit (frame #6) and B bit (frame #12) signaling information.
For ESF links the 6 bit framing pattern 001011, inserted into every 4th overhead bit position, is used to deliniate
both frame and superframe boundaries. Frames #6, 12, 18 and 24 contain the A, B, C and D signaling bits,
respectively. A 4 kHz data link is embedded in the overhead bit position, interleaved between the framing pattern
sequence (FPS) and the transmit CRC-6 remainder (from the calculation done on the previous superframe), see
Table 8.
The SLC-96 frame structure is similar to the D4 frame structure, except a facility management overlay is
superimposed over the erstwhile Fs bits, see Table 9.
The protocol appropriate for the application is selected via the Framing Mode Selection Word, address 10H of
Master Control page 1. In T1 mode, MT9076 is capable of generating the overhead bit framing pattern and (for ESF
links) the CRC remainder for transmission onto the DS1 trunk. The beginning of the transmit multiframe may be
determined by any of the following criteria:

(ii) The multiframe counters may be reset with the external hardware pin TxMF. If this signal is not synchronous
with the current transmit frame count it may cause the far end to go temporarily out of sync.
(iii) Under software control (by setting the TxSYNC bit in page 01 address 12H) the transmit multiframe
counters will be synchronized to the framing pattern present in the overhead bits multiplexed into channel
31 bit 0 of the incoming 2.048 Mb/s digital stream DSTi. Note that the overhead bits extracted from the
receive signal are multiplexed into outgoing DSTo channel 31 bit 0.
(iv) In SLC - 96 mode the transmit frame counters synchronize to the framing pattern clocked in on the TXDL

E1 Digital Interface
PCM 30 (E1) basic frames are 256 bits long and are transmitted at a frame repetition rate of 8000 Hz, which results
in an aggregate bit rate of 256 bits x 8000/sec = 2.048 Mbits/sec. The actual bit rate is 2.048 Mbits/sec +/-50 ppm
encoded in HDB3 format. The HDB3 control bit (page 01H, address 15H, bit 5) selects either HDB3 encoding or
alternate mark inversion (AMI) encoding. Basic frames are divided into 32 time slots numbered 0 to 31, see
Figure 43 on page 168. Each time slot is 8 bits in length and is transmitted most significant bit first (numbered bit 1).
This results in a single time slot data rate of 8 bits x 8000/sec. = 64 kbits/sec.
It should be noted that the Zarlink ST-BUS also has 32 channels numbered 0 to 31, but the most significant bit of an
eight bit channel is numbered bit 7 (see Zarlink Application Note MSAN-126). Therefore, ST-BUS bit 7 is
synonymous with PCM 30 bit 1; bit 6 with bit 2: and so on (Figure 44).
PCM 30 time slot 0 is reserved for basic frame alignment, CRC-4 multiframe alignment and the communication of
maintenance information. In most configurations time slot 16 is reserved for either Channel Associated signaling

(CAS or ABCD bit signaling) or Common Channel signaling (CCS). The remaining 30 time slots are called channels
and carry either PCM encoded voice signals or digital data. Channel alignment and bit numbering is consistent with
time slot alignment and bit numbering. However, channels are numbered 1 to 30 and relate to time slots as per
Table 10.

3.3.1
Basic Frame Alignment
Time slot 0 of every basic frame is reserved for basic frame alignment and contains either a Frame Alignment
Signal (FAS) or a Non-Frame Alignment Signal (NFAS). FAS and NFAS occur in time slot zero of consecutive basic
frames as shown in Table 10. Bit two is used to distinguish between FAS (bit two = 0) and NFAS (bit two = 1).
Basic frame alignment is initiated by a search for the bit sequence 0011011 which appears in the last seven bit
positions of the FAS, see the Frame Algorithm section. Bit position one of the FAS can be either a CRC-4 remainder
bit or an international usage bit.
Bits four to eight of the NFAS (i.e., Sa4 - Sa8) are additional spare bits which may be used as follows:
•
Sa4 to Sa8 may be used in specific point-to-point applications (e.g., transcoder equipments conforming to
G.761)
•
Sa4 may be used as a message-based data link for operations, maintenance and performance monitoring
•
Sa5 to Sa8 are for national usage
A maintenance channel or data link at 4,8,12,16,or 20 kHz for selected Sa bits is provided by the MT9076 in E1
mode to implement these functions. Note that for simplicity all Sa bits including Sa4 are collectively called national
bits throughout this document.
Bit three (designated as “A”), the Remote Alarm Indication (RAI), is used to indicate the near end basic frame
synchronization status to the far end of a link. Under normal operation, the A (RAI) bit should be set to 0, while in
alarm condition, it is set to 1.
Bit position one of the NFAS can be either a CRC-4 multiframe alignment signal, an E-bit or an international usage
bit. Refer to an approvals laboratory and national standards bodies for specific requirements.

3.3.2
CRC-4 Multiframing in E1 Mode
The primary purpose for CRC-4 multiframing is to provide a verification of the current basic frame alignment,
although it can also be used for other functions such as bit error rate estimation. The CRC-4 multiframe consists of
16 basic frames numbered 0 to 15, and has a repetition rate of 16 frames X 125 microseconds/frame = 2 msec.
CRC-4 multiframe alignment is based on the 001011 bit sequence, which appears in bit position one of the first six
NFASs of a CRC-4 multiframe.
The CRC-4 multiframe is divided into two submultiframes, numbered 1 and 2, which are each eight basic frames or
2048 bits in length.
The CRC-4 frame alignment verification functions as follows. Initially, the CRC-4 operation must be activated and
CRC-4 multiframe alignment must be achieved at both ends of the link. At the local end of a link, all the bits of every
transmit submultiframe are passed through a CRC-4 polynomial (multiplied by X4 then divided by X4 + X + 1), which
generates a four bit remainder. This remainder is inserted in bit position one of the four FASs of the following
submultiframe before it is transmitted (see Table 12).
The submultiframe is then transmitted and, at the far end, the same process occurs. That is, a CRC-4 remainder is
generated for each received submultiframe. These bits are compared with the bits received in position one of the
four FASs of the next received submultiframe. This process takes place in both directions of transmission.
When more than 914 CRC-4 errors (out of a possible 1000) are counted in a one second interval, the framing
algorithm will force a search for a new basic frame alignment. See Frame Algorithm section for more details.
The result of the comparison of the received CRC-4 remainder with the locally generated remainder will be
transported to the far end by the E-bits. Therefore, if E1 = 0, a CRC-4 error was discovered in a submultiframe 1
received at the far end; and if E2 = 0, a CRC-4 error was discovered in a submultiframe 2 received at the far end.
34
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
MT9076B
Data Sheet
No submultiframe sequence numbers or re-transmission capabilities are supported with layer 1 PCM 30 protocol.
See ITU-T G.704 and G.706 for more details on the operation of CRC-4 and E-bits.
There are two CRC multiframe alignment algorithm options selected by the AUTC control bit (address 10H, page
01H). When AUTC is zero, automatic CRC-to-non-CRC interworking is selected. When AUTC is one and ARAI is
low, if CRC-4 multiframe alignment is not found in 400 msec, the transmit RAI will be continuously high until CRC-4
multiframe alignment is achieved.
The control bit for transmit E bits (TE, address 11H of page 01H) will have the same function in both states of
AUTC. That is, when CRC-4 synchronization is not achieved the state of the transmit E-bits will be the same as the
state of the TE control bit. When CRC-4 synchronization is achieved the transmit E-bits will function as per ITU-T
G.704. Table 12 outlines the operation of the AUTC, ARAI and TALM control bits of the MT9076.

CAS Signaling Multiframing in E1 Mode
The purpose of the signaling multiframing algorithm is to provide a scheme that will allow the association of a
specific ABCD signaling nibble with the appropriate PCM 30 channel. Time slot 16 is reserved for the
communication of Channel Associated signaling (CAS) information (i.e., ABCD signaling bits for up to 30 channels).
Refer to ITU-T G.704 and G.732 for more details on CAS multiframing requirements.
A CAS signaling multiframe consists of 16 basic frames (numbered 0 to 15), which results in a multiframe repetition
rate of 2 msec. It should be noted that the boundaries of the signaling multiframe may be completely distinct from
those of the CRC-4 multiframe. CAS multiframe alignment is based on a multiframe alignment signal (a 0000 bit
sequence), which occurs in the most significant nibble of time slot 16 of basic frame 0 of the CAS multiframe. Bit 6
of this time slot is the multiframe alarm bit (usually designated Y). When CAS multiframing is acquired on the
receive side, the transmit Y-bit is zero; when CAS multiframing is not acquired, the transmit Y-bit is one. Bits 5, 7
and 8 (usually designated X) are spare bits and are normally set to one if not used.
35
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
MT9076B
Data Sheet
Time slot 16 of the remaining 15 basic frames of the CAS multiframe (i.e., basic frames 1 to 15) are reserved for the
ABCD signaling bits for the 30 payload channels. The most significant nibbles are reserved for channels 1 to 15 and
the least significant nibbles are reserved for channels 16 to 30. That is, time slot 16 of basic frame 1 has ABCD for
channel 1 and 16, time slot 16 of basic frame 2 has ABCD for channel 2 and 17, through to time slot 16 of basic
frame 15 has ABCD for channel 15 and 30.

MT9076 Access and Control
4.1
The Control Port Interface
The control and status registers of the MT9076 are accessible through a non-multiplexed parallel microprocessor
port. The parallel port may be configured for Motorola style control signals (by setting pin INT/MOT low) or Intel
style control signals (by setting pin INT/MOT high).
4.2
Control and Status Register Access
The controlling microprocessor gains access to specific registers of the MT9076 through a two step process.
First, writing to the Command/Address Register (CAR) selects one of the 15 pages of control and status
registers (CAR address: AC4 = 0, AC3-AC0 = don't care, CAR data D7 - D0 = page number). Second, each
page has a maximum of 16 registers that are addressed on a read or write to a non-CAR address (non-CAR:
address AC4 = 1, AC3-AC0 = register address, D7-D0 = data). Once a page of memory is selected, it is only
necessary to write to the CAR when a different page is to be accessed. See the AC Electrical Characteristics
section.

4.3.1
ST-BUS Streams
In T1 mode, there is one control and one status ST-BUS stream that can be used to program / access channel
associated signaling nibbles. CSTo contains the received channel associated signaling bits, and for those channels
whose Per Time Slot Control word bit 1 “RPSIG” is set low, CSTi is used to control the transmit channel associated
signaling. The DSTi and DSTo streams contain the transmit and receive voice and digital data. Only 24 of the 32
ST-BUS channels are used for each of DSTi, DSTo, CSTi and CSTo. In each case individual channel mapping is as
illustrated in Table 6, “ST-BUS vs. DS1 to Channel Relationship(T1),” on page 30.
In E1 mode, ST-BUS streams can also be used to access channel associated signaling nibbles. CSTo contains the
received channel associated signaling bits (e.g., ITU-T R1 and R2 signaling), and for those channels whose Per
Time Slot Control word bit 1 “RPSIG” is set low, CSTi is used to control the transmit channel associated signaling.
The DSTi and DSTo streams contain the transmit and receive voice and digital data.
Only 30 of the 32 ST-BUS channels are used for each of DSTi, DSTo, CSTi and CSTo. In each case individual
channel mapping is as illustrated in Table 10 Time slot to Channel Relationship.

Reset Operation (Initialization)
The MT9076 can be reset using the hardware RESET pin (pin 11 in PLCC, pin 64 in LQFP) or the software reset bit
RST (page 1H, address 1AH). When the device emerges from its reset state it will begin to function with the default
settings described in Table 14 (T1) Table 15 (E1). All control registers are set to 00H. A reset operation takes 1 full
frame (125 us) to complete.

Data Link Operation
7.1
Data Link Operation in E1 Mode
In E1 mode, MT9076 has a user defined 4, 8, 12, 16 or 20 kbit/s data link for transport of maintenance and
performance monitoring information across the PCM 30 link. This channel functions using the Sa bits (Sa4~Sa8) of
the PCM 30 timeslot zero non-frame alignment signal (NFAS). Since the NFAS is transmitted every other frame - a
periodicity of 250 microseconds - the aggregate bit rate is a multiple of 4 kb/s. As there are five Sa bits
independently available for this data link, the bit rate will be 4, 8, 12, 16 or 20 kb/s, depending on the bits selected
for the Data Link (DL).
The Sa bits used for the DL are selected by setting the appropriate bits, Sa4~Sa8, to one in the Data Link Select
Word (page 01H, address 17H, bits 4-0). Access to the DL is provided by pins TxDLCLK, TxDL, RxDLCLK and
RxDL, which allow easy interfacing to an external controller.
Data to be transmit onto the line in the Sa bit position is clocked in from the TxDL pin (pin 65 in PLCC, pin 47 in
LQFP) with the clock TxDLCLK (pin 64 in PLCC, pin 46 pin LQFP). Although the aggregate clock rate equals the bit
rate, it has a nominal pulse width of 244 ns, and it clocks in the TxDL as if it were a 2.048 Mb/s data stream. The
clock can only be active during bit times 4 to 0 of the STBUS frame. The TxDL input signal is clocked into the
MT9076 by the rising edge of TxDLCLK. If bits are selected to be a part of the DL, all other programmed functions
for those Sa bit positions are overridden.
38
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
MT9076B
Data Sheet
The RxDLCLK signal (pin 39 - PLCC, pin 14 - LQFP) is derived from the receive extracted clock and is aligned with
the receive data link output RxDL. The HDB3 decoded receive data, at 2.048 Mbit/s, is clocked out of the device on
pin RxDL (pin 40 in PLCC, pin 15 in LQFP). In order to facilitate the attachment of this data stream to a Data Link
controller, the clock signal RxDLCLK consists of positive pulses, of nominal width of 244 ns, during the Sa bit cell
times that are selected for the data link.This selection is made by programming address 17H of master control page
01H. No DL data will be lost or repeated when a receive frame slip occurs. See AC Electrical Characteristics for
timing requirements.
7.2
Data Link Operation in T1 Mode
SLC-96 and ESF protocol allow for carrier messages to be embedded in the overhead bit position. The MT9076
provides 3 separate means of controlling these data links. See Data Link Control Word - address 12H, page 1H.
•
The data links (transmit and receive) may be sourced (sunk) from an external controller using dedicated pins
on the MT9076 in T1 mode (enabled by setting the bit 7 - EDL of the Data link Control Word).
•
Bit Oriented Messages may be transmit and received via a dedicated TxBOM register (page 1H, address
13H) and a RxBOM (page 3H, address 15H). Transmission is enabled by setting bit 6 - BIOMEn in the Data
link Control Word. Bit - oriented messages may be periodically interrupted (up to once per second) for a
duration of up to 100 milliseconds. This is to accommodate bursts of message - oriented protocols. See
Table 16 for message structure.

Data Sheet
External Data Link
In T1 mode, MT9076 has two pairs of pins (TxDL and TxDLCLK, RxDL and RxDLCLK) dedicated to transmitting
and receiving bits in the selected overhead bit positions. Pins TxDLCLK and RxDLCLK are clock outputs available
for clocking data into the MT9076 (for transmit) or external device (for receive information). Each clock operates at
4 Khz. In the SLC-96 mode the optional serial data link is multiplexed into the Fs bit position. In the ESF mode, the
serial data link is multiplexed into odd frames, i.e., the FDL bit positions.
7.2.2
Bit - Oriented Messaging
In T1 mode, MT9076 Bit oriented messaging may be selected by setting bit 6 (BIOMEn) in the Data Link Control
Word (page 1H, address 12H). The transmit data link will contain the repeating serial data stream
111111110xxxxxx0 where the byte 0xxxxxx0 originates from the user programmed register “Transmit Bit Oriented
Message” - page 1H address 13H. The receive BIOM register “Receive Bit Oriented Message” - page 3H, address
15H, will contain the last received valid message (the 0xxxxxx0 portion of the incoming serial bit stream). To
prevent spurious inputs from creating false messages, a new message must be present in 7 of the last 10
appropriate byte positions before being loaded into the receive BIOM register. When a new message has been
received, a maskable interrupt (maskable by setting bit 1 low in Interrupt Mask Word Three - page 1H, address
1EH) may occur.
8.0
Floating HDLC Channels
MT9076 has three embedded HDLC controllers (HDLC0, HDLC1, HDLC2) each of which includes the following
features:
•
Independent transmit and receive FIFO's;
•
Receive FIFO maskable interrupts for nearly full (programmable interrupt levels) and overflow conditions;
•
Transmit FIFO maskable interrupts for nearly empty (programmable interrupt levels) and underflow
conditions;
•
Maskable interrupts for transmit end-of-packet and receive end-of-packet;
40
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
MT9076B
•
Maskable interrupts for receive bad-frame (includes frame abort);
•
Transmit end-of-packet and frame-abort functions.
Data Sheet
Each controller may be attached to any of the active 64 Kkb/s channels (24 in the case of T1, 31 in the case of E1).
HDLC0 may also be attached to the FDL in a T1 ESF link by connecting it to phantom channel 31 when
programming the HDLC Select Word. If HDLC0 is attached to channel 0 in E1 mode, only the activated Sa bits (as
per the Multiframe and Data Selection Word) will be transmit and received by the controller.
8.1
Channel Assignment
In T1 mode, any DS1 channel can be connected to either of HDLC0,1 or 2, operating at 56 or 64 Kb/s. Setting
control bit H1R64 (address 12 H on page 01H) high selects 64 Kb/s operation for all HDLCs. Setting this bit low
selects 56 Kb/s for all HDLC. Interrupts from any of the HDLCs are masked when they are disconnected.
In E1 mode, all PCM-30 channels except channel 0 can be connected to either of HDLC0,1 or 2. HDLC1 and
HDLC2 operate at 64 Kb/s. HDLC0 operates at 64 kb/s when connected to any of channels 1 to 31. When
connected to channel 0 HDLC0 operates at 4, 8, 12, 16 or 20 Kb/s depending on the number of activated Sa bits.
HDLCs can be activated by programming the HDLC Select Words (page 02H, addresses 19H, 1AH and 1BH for
HDLC0, HDLC1 and HDLC2 respectively).
8.2
HDLC Description
The HDLC handles the bit oriented packetized data transmission as per X.25 level two protocol defined by CCITT. It
provides flag and abort sequence generation and detection, zero insertion and deletion, and Frame Check
Sequence (FCS) generation and detection. A single byte, dual byte and all call address in the received frame can
be recognized. Access to the receive FCS and inhibiting of transmit FCS for terminal adaptation are also provided.
Each HDLC controller has a 128 byte deep FIFO associated with it. The status and interrupt flags are
programmable for FIFO depths that can vary from 16 to 128 bytes in steps of 16 bytes. These and other features
are enabled through the HDLC control registers on page 0BH and 0CH.
8.2.1
HDLC Frame Structure
In T1 mode or E1 mode, a valid HDLC frame begins with an opening flag, contains at least 16 bits of address and
control or information, and ends with a 16 bit FCS followed by a closing flag. Data formatted in this manner is also
referred to as a “packet”. Refer to Table 17: HDLC Frame Format

Table 17 - HDLC Frame Format
All HDLC frames start and end with a unique flag sequence “01111110”. The transmitter generates these flags and
appends them to the packet to be transmitted. The receiver searches the incoming data stream for the flags on a
bit- by-bit basis to establish frame synchronization.
The data field consists of an address field, control field and information field. The address field consists of one or
two bytes directly following the opening flag. The control field consists of one byte directly following the address
field. The information field immediately follows the control field and consists of N bytes of data. The HDLC does not
distinguish between the control and information fields and a packet does not need to contain an information field to
be valid.
The FCS field, which precedes the closing flag, consists of two bytes. A cyclic redundancy check utilizing the
CRC-CCITT standard generator polynomial “X16+X12+X5+1” produces the 16-bit FCS. In the transmitter the FCS is
41

Data Sheet
calculated on all bits of the address and data field. The complement of the FCS is transmitted, most significant bit
first, in the FCS field. The receiver calculates the FCS on the incoming packet address, data and FCS field and
compares the result to “F0B8”. If no transmission errors are detected and the packet between the flags is at least 32
bits in length then the address and data are entered into the receive FIFO minus the FCS which is discarded.
8.2.2
Data Transparency (Zero Insertion/Deletion)
Transparency ensures that the contents of a data packet do not imitate a flag, go-ahead, frame abort or idle
channel. The contents of a transmitted frame, between the flags, is examined on a bit-by-bit basis and a 0 bit is
inserted after all sequences of 5 contiguous 1 bits (including the last five bits of the FCS). Upon receiving five
contiguous 1s within a frame the receiver deletes the following 0 bit.
8.2.3
Invalid Frames
A frame is invalid if one of the following four conditions exists (Inserted zeros are not part of a valid count):
•
If the FCS pattern generated from the received data does not match the “F0B8” pattern then the last data
byte of the packet is written to the received FIFO with a ‘bad packet’ indication.
•
A short frame exists if there are less than 25 bits between the flags. Short frames are ignored by the receiver
and nothing is written to the receive FIFO.
•
Packets which are at least 25 bits in length but less than 32 bits between the flags are also invalid. In this
case the data is written to the FIFO but the last byte is tagged with a “bad packet” indication.
•
If a frame abort sequence is detected the packet is invalid. Some or all of the current packet will reside in the
receive FIFO, assuming the packet length before the abort sequence was at least 26 bits long.
8.2.4
Frame Abort
The transmitter will abort a current packet by substituting a zero followed by seven contiguous 1s in place of the
normal packet. The receiver will abort upon reception of seven contiguous 1s occurring between the flags of a
packet which contains at least 26 bits.
Note that should the last received byte before the frame abort end with contiguous 1s, these are included in the
seven 1s required for a receiver abort. This means that the location of the abort sequence in the receiver may occur
before the location of the abort sequence in the originally transmitted packet. If this happens then the last data
written to the receive FIFO will not correspond exactly with the last byte sent before the frame abort.
8.2.5
Interframe Time Fill and Link Channel States
When the HDLC transmitter is not sending packets it will wait in one of two states
•
Interframe Time Fill state: This is a continuous series of flags occurring between frames indicating that the
channel is active but that no data is being sent.
•
Idle state: An idle Channel occurs when at least 15 contiguous 1s are transmitted or received.
•
In both states the transmitter will exit the wait state when data is loaded into the transmitter FIFO.
8.2.6
Go-Ahead
A go ahead is defined as the pattern “011111110” (contiguous 7Fs) and is the occurrence of a frame abort sequence
followed by a zero, outside of the boundaries of a normal packet. Being able to distinguish a proper (in packet)
frame abort sequence from one occurring outside of a packet allows a higher level of signaling protocol which is not
part of the HDLC specifications.

HDLC Functional Description
The HDLC transceiver can be reset by either the power reset input signal or by the HRST Control bit in the test
control register (software reset). When reset, the HDLC Control Registers are cleared, resulting in the transmitter
and receiver being disabled. The Receiver and Transmitter can be enabled independent of one another through
Control Register 1. The transceiver input and output are enabled when the enable control bits in Control Register 1
are set. Transmit to receive loopback as well as a receive to transmit loopback are also supported. Transmit and
receive bit rates and enables can operate independently. In MT9076 the transceiver can operate at a continuous
rate independent of RXcen and TXcen (free run mode) by setting the Frun bit of Control Register 1.
Received packets from the serial interface are sectioned into bytes by an HDLC receiver that detects flags, checks
for go-ahead signals, removes inserted zeros, performs a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) on incoming data, and
monitors the address if required. Packet reception begins upon detection of an opening flag. The resulting bytes are
concatenated with two status bits (RQ9, RQ8) and placed in a receiver first-in-first-out (Rx FIFO); a buffer register
that generates status and interrupts for microprocessor read control.
In conjunction with the control circuitry, the microprocessor writes data bytes into a Tx buffer register (Tx FIFO) that
generates status and interrupts. Packet transmission begins when the microprocessor writes a byte to the Tx FIFO.
Two status bits are added to the Tx FIFO for transmitter control of frame aborts (FA) and end of packet (EOP) flags.
Packets have flags appended, zeros inserted, and a CRC, also referred to as frame checking sequence (FCS),
added automatically during serial transmission. When the Tx FIFO is empty and finished sending a packet,
Interframe Time Fill bytes (continuous flags (7E hex)), or Mark Idle (continuous ones) are transmitted to indicate
that the channel is idle.
8.3.1
HDLC Transmitter
Following initialization and enabling, the transmitter is in the Idle Channel state (Mark Idle), continuously sending
ones. Interframe Time Fill state (Flag Idle) is selected by setting the Mark idle bit in Control Register 1 high1. The
Transmitter remains in either of these two states until data is written to the Tx FIFO. Control Register 1 bits EOP
(end of packet) and FA (Frame Abort) are set as status bits before the microprocessor loads 8 bits of data into the
10 bit wide FIFO (8 bits data and 2 bits status). To change the tag bits being loaded in the FIFO, Control Register 1
must be written to before writing to the FIFO. However, EOP and FA are reset after writing to the TX FIFO. The
Transmit Byte Count Registers may also be used to tag an end of packet. The total packet size may be
programmed to be up to 65,535 bytes. For a packet length of 1 to 255 bytes it is only necessary to write the packet
size into the Lower Transmit Byte Count Register. For a packet length of 256 to 65,535 bytes it is necessary to write
the 16 bit binary count into the Extended Transmit Byte Count Register (MSByte) and the Lower Transmit Byte
Count Register (LSByte). Note that the order of writing the upper byte before the lower byte must be observed even
when the lower byte is all zero. Internal registers are loaded with the number of bytes in the packet and
decremented after every write to the Tx FIFO. When a count of one is reached, the next byte written to the FIFO is
tagged as an end of packet. The register may be made to cycle through the same count if the packets are of the
same length by setting Control Register 2 bit Cycle.
If the transmitter is in the Idle Channel state when data is written to the Tx FIFO, then an opening flag is sent and
data from Tx FIFO follows. Otherwise, data bytes are transmitted as soon as the current flag byte has been sent. Tx
FIFO data bytes are continuously transmitted until either the FIFO is empty or an EOP or FA status bit is read by the
transmitter. After the last bit of the EOP byte has been transmitted, a 16-bit FCS is sent followed by a closing flag.
When multiple packets of data are loaded into Tx FIFO, only one flag is sent between packets.
1. If the MT9076 HDLC transmitter is set up in the Mark-Idle state (YF2 MI is 1) then it will occasionally
(less than 1% of the time) fail to transmit the opening flag when it is changed from the disabled state to the
enabled state (YF2 TXEN changed from 0 to 1). A missing opening flag will cause the packet to be lost at
the receiving end.
This problem only affects the first packet transmitted after the HDLC transmitter is enabled. Subsequent
packets ar unaffected.

Frame aborts (the transmission of 7F hex), are transmitted by tagging a byte previously written to the Tx FIFO.
When a byte has an FA tag, then an FA is sent instead of that tagged byte. That is, all bytes previous to but not
including that byte are sent. After a Frame Abort, the transmitter returns to the Mark Idle or Interframe Time Fill
state, depending on the state of the Mark idle control bit.
Tx FIFO underrun will occur if the FIFO empties and the last byte did not have either an EOP or FA tag. A frame
abort sequence will be sent when an underrun occurs.
The following list is an example of the transmission of a three byte packet (’AA’’03’’77’ hex) (Interframe time fill).
TXcen can be enabled before or after this sequence.
(a) Write ’04’hex to Control Register 1
(b) Write ’AA’ hex to TX FIFO
(c) Write ’03’hex to TX FIFO
(d) Write ’34’hex to Control Register 1
(e) Write ’77’hex to TX FIFO

-Data byte

-TXEN; EOP; Mark idle bits set

The transmitter may be enabled independently of the receiver. This is done by setting the TXEN bit of the Control
Register. Enabling happens immediately upon writing to the register. Disabling using TXen will occur after the
completion of the transmission of the present packet; the contents of the FIFO are not cleared. Disabling will consist
of stopping the transmitter clock. The Status and Interrupt Registers may still be read and the FIFO and Control
Registers may be written to while the transmitter is disabled. The transmitted FCS may be inhibited using the Tcrci
bit of Control Register 2. In this mode the opening flag followed by the data and closing flag is sent and zero
insertion still included, but no CRC. That is, the FCS is injected by the microprocessor as part of the data field. This
is used in V.120 terminal adaptation for synchronous protocol sensitive UI frames.
8.3.2
HDLC Receiver
After initialization and enabling, the receiver clocks in serial data, continuously checking for Go-aheads (0 1111
1110), flags (0111 1110), and Idle Channel states (at least fifteen ones). When a flag is detected, the receiver
synchronizes itself to the serial stream of data bits, automatically calculating the FCS. If the data length between
flags after zero removal is less than 25 bits, then the packet is ignored so no bytes are loaded into Rx FIFO. When
the data length after zero removal is between 25 and 31 bits, a first byte and bad FCS code are loaded into the Rx
FIFO (see definition of RQ8 and RQ9 below). For an error-free packet, the result in the CRC register should match
the HEX pattern of’F0B8’ when a closing flag is detected.
If address recognition is required, the Receiver Address Recognition Registers are loaded with the desired address
and the Adrec bit in the Control Register 1 is set high. Bit 0 of the Address Registers is used as an enable bit for
that byte, thus allowing either or both of the first two bytes to be compared to the expected values. Bit 0 of the first
byte of the address received (address extension bit) will be monitored to determine if a single or dual byte address
is being received. If this bit is 0 then a two byte address is being received and then only the first six bits of the first
address byte are compared. An all call condition is also monitored for the second address byte; and if received the
first address byte is ignored (not compared with mask byte). If the address extension bit is a 1 then a single byte
address is being received. In this case, an all call condition is monitored for in the first byte as well as the mask byte
written to the comparison register and the second byte is ignored. Seven bits of address comparison can be
realized on the first byte if this is a single byte address by setting the Seven bit of Control Register 2.

MT9076B
Data Sheet
The following two Status Register bits (RQ8 and RQ9) are appended to each data byte as it is written to the Rx
FIFO. They indicate that a good packet has been received (good FCS and no frame abort), or a bad packet with
either incorrect FCS or frame abort. The Status and Interrupt Registers should be read before reading the Rx FIFO
since status and interrupt information correspond to the byte at the output of the FIFO (i.e., the byte about to be
read). The Status Register bits are encoded as follows:
RQ9
1
0
1
0
RQ8
1
1
0
0
Byte status
last byte (bad packet)
first byte
last byte (good packet)
packet byte
The end-of-packet-detect (EOPD) interrupt indicates that the last byte written to the Rx FIFO was an EOP byte (last
byte in a packet). The end-of-packet-read (EopR) interrupt indicates that the byte about to be read from the Rx
FIFO is an EOP byte (last byte in a packet). The Status Register should be read to see if the packet is good or bad
before the byte is read.
A minimum size packet has an 8-bit address, an 8-bit control byte, and a 16-bit FCS pattern between the opening
and closing flags (see Section 9.3.2). Thus, the absence of a data transmission error and a frame length of at least
32 bits results in the receiver writing a valid packet code with the EOP byte into Rx FIFO. The last 16 bits before the
closing flag are regarded as the FCS pattern and will not be transferred to the receiver FIFO. Only data bytes
(Address, Control, Information) are loaded into the Rx FIFO.
In the case of an Rx FIFO overflow, no clocking occurs until a new opening flag is received. In other words, the
remainder of the packet is not clocked into the FIFO. Also, the top byte of the FIFO will not be written over. If the
FIFO is read before the reception of the next packet then reception of that packet will occur. If two beginning of
packet conditions (RQ9=0;RQ8=1) are seen in the FIFO, without an intermediate EOP status, then overflow
occurred for the first packet.
The receiver may be enabled independently of the transmitter. This is done by setting the RXEN bit of Control
Register 1. Enabling happens immediately upon writing to the register. Disabling using RXEN will occur after the
present packet has been completely loaded into the FIFO. Disabling can occur during a packet if no bytes have
been written to the FIFO yet. Disabling will consist of disabling the internal receive clock. The FIFO, Status, and
Interrupt Registers may still be read while the receiver is disabled. Note that the receiver requires a flag before
processing a frame, thus if the receiver is enabled in the middle of an incoming packet it will ignore that packet and
wait for the next complete one.
The receive CRC can be monitored in the Rx CRC Registers. These registers contain the actual CRC sent by the
other transmitter in its original form; that is, MSB first and bits inverted. These registers are updated by each end of
packet (closing flag) received and therefore should be read when an end of packet is received so that the next
packet does not overwrite the registers.
9.0
Slip Buffers
9.1
Slip Buffer in T1 Mode
In T1 mode, MT9076 contains two slip buffers, one on the transmit side, and one on the receive side. Both sides
may perform a controlled slip. The mechanisms that govern the slip function are a function of backplane timing and
the mapping between the ST-BUS channels and the DS1 channels. The slip mechanisms are different for the
transmit and receive slip buffers. The extracted 1.544 MHz clock (Exclk) and the internally generated transmit
1.544 MHz clock are distinct. Slips on the transmit side are independent from slips on the receive side. In IMA mode
neither the transmit nor receive slip buffer is activated.
45
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
MT9076B
Data Sheet
The transmit slip buffer has data written to it from the near end 2.048 Mb/s stream. The data is clocked out of the
buffer using signals derived from the transmit 1.544 MHz clock. The transmit 1.544 MHz clock is always phase
locked to the DSTi 2.048 Mb/s stream. If the system 4.096 MHz clock (C4b) is internally generated (pin BS/LS low),
then it is hard locked to the 1.544 MHz clock. No phase drift or wander can exist between the two signals - therefore
no slips will occur. The delay through the transmit elastic buffer is then fixed, and is a function of the relative
mapping between the DSTi channels and the DS1 timeslots. These delays vary with the position of the channel in
the frame. For example, DS1 timeslot 1 sits in the elastic buffer for approximately 1 usec and DS1 timeslot 24 sits in
the elastic buffer for approximately 32 usec.

If the system 4.096 MHz clock (C4b) is externally generated (pin BS/LS high), the transmit 1.544 MHz clock is
phase locked to it, but the PLL is designed to filter jitter present in the C4b clock. As a result phase drift will result
between the two signals. The delay through the transmit elastic buffer will vary in accordance with the input clock
drift, as well as being a function of the relative mapping between the DSTi channels and the DS1 timeslots. If the
read pointers approach the write pointers (to within approximately 1 usec) or the delay through the transmit buffer
exceeds 218 usecs a controlled slip will occur. The contents of a single frame of DS1 data will be skipped or
repeated; a maskable interrupt (masked by setting bit 1 - TxSLPI high in Interrupt Mask Word Zero - page 1H,
address 1bH) will be generated, and the status bit TSLIP (page 3H, address 17H) of MSB Transmit Slip Buffer
register will toggle. The direction of the slip is indicated by bit 6 of the same register (TSLPD). The relative phase
delay between the system frame boundary and the transmit elastic frame read boundary is measured every frame
and reported in the Transmit Slip Buffer Delay register- (page 3H, address 17H). In addition the relative offset
between these frame boundaries may be programmed by writing to this register. Every write to Transmit Elastic
Buffer Set Delay Word resets the transmit elastic frame count bit TxSBMSB (address 17H, page 3H). After a write
the delay through the slip buffer is less than 1 frame in duration. Each write operation will result in a disturbance of
the transmit DS1 frame boundary, causing the far end to go out of sync. Writing BC (hex) into the TxSBDLY register
maximizes the wander tolerance before a controlled slip occurs. Under normal operation no slips should occur in

the transmit path. Slips will only occur if the input C4b clock has excess wander, or the Transmit Elastic Buffer Set
Delay Word register is initialized too close to the slip pointers after system initialization.
The two frame receive elastic buffer is attached between the 1.544 Mbit/s DS1 receive side and the 2.048 Mbit/s
ST-BUS side of the MT9076. Besides performing rate conversion, this elastic buffer is configured as a slip buffer
which absorbs wander and low frequency jitter in multi-trunk applications. The received DS1 data is clocked into the
slip buffer with the Exclk clock and is clocked out of the slip buffer with the system C4b clock. The Exclk extracted
clock is generated from, and is therefore phase-locked with, the receive DS1 data. In the case of Internal mode (pin
BS/LS set low) operation, the Exclk clock may be phase-locked to the C4b clock by an internal phase locked loop
(PLL). Therefore, in a single trunk system the receive data is in phase with the Exclk clock, the C4b clock is phase
locked to the E1.5o clock, and the read and write positions of the slip buffer track each other.
In a multi-trunk slave or loop-timed system (i.e., PABX application) a single trunk will be chosen as a network
synchronizer, which will function as described in the previous paragraph. The remaining trunks will use the system
timing derived from the synchronizer to clock data out of their slip buffers. Even though the DS1 signals from the
network are synchronous to each other, due to multiplexing, transmission impairments and route diversity, these
signals may jitter or wander with respect to the synchronizing trunk signal. Therefore, the Exclk clocks of
non-synchronized trunks may wander with respect to the Exclk clock of the synchronizer and the system bus.
Network standards state that, within limits, trunk interfaces must be able to receive error-free data in the presence
of jitter and wander (refer to network requirements for jitter and wander tolerance). The MT9076 will allow 92 usec
(140 UI, DS1 unit intervals) of wander and low frequency jitter before a frame slip will occur.
When the C4b and the Exclk clocks are not phase-locked, the rate at which data is being written into the slip buffer
from the DS1 side may differ from the rate at which it is being read out onto the ST-BUS. If this situation persists,
the delay limits stated in the previous paragraph will be violated and the slip buffer will perform a controlled frame
slip. That is, the buffer pointers will be automatically adjusted so that a full DS1 frame is either repeated or lost. All
frame slips occur on frame boundaries.
The minimum delay through the receive slip buffer is approximately 1 usec and the maximum delay is
approximately 249 uS. Figure 12 illustrates the relationship between the read and write pointers of the receive slip
buffer (contiguous time slot mapping). Measuring clockwise from the write pointer, if the read page pointer comes
within 8 usec of the write page pointer a frame slip will occur, which will put the read page pointer 157 usec from the
write page pointer. Conversely, if the read page pointer moves more than 249 usec from the write page pointer, a
slip will occur, which will put the read page pointer 124 usec from the write page pointer. This provides a worst case
hysteresis of 92 usec peak = 142 U.I.

Slip Buffer in E1 Mode
In E1 mode, in addition to the elastic buffer in the jitter attenuator(JA), another elastic buffer (two frames deep) is
present, attached between the receive side and the ST-BUS side of the MT9076. This elastic buffer is configured as
a slip buffer which absorbs wander and low frequency jitter in multi-trunk applications. The received PCM 30 data is
clocked into the slip buffer with the Exclk clock and is clocked out of the slip buffer with the C4b clock. The Exclk
extracted clock is generated from, and is therefore phase-locked with, the receive PCM 30 data. In normal
operation, the C4b clock will be phase-locked to the Exclk clock by a phase locked loop (PLL). Therefore, in a
single trunk system the receive data is in phase with the Exclk clock, the C4b clock is phase-locked to the Exclk
clock, and the read and write positions of the slip buffer will remain fixed with respect to each other.
In a multi-trunk slave or loop-timed system (i.e., PABX application) a single trunk will be chosen as a network
synchronizer, which will function as described in the previous paragraph. The remaining trunks will use the system
timing derived from the synchronizer to clock data out of their slip buffers. Even though the PCM 30 signals from the
network are synchronous to each other, due to multiplexing, transmission impairments and route diversity, these
signals may jitter or wander with respect to the synchronizing trunk signal. Therefore, the
Exclk clocks of non-synchronizer trunks may wander with respect to the Exclk clock of the synchronizer and the
system bus.

Data Sheet
Network standards state that, within limits, trunk interfaces must be able to receive error-free data in the presence
of jitter and wander (refer to network requirements for jitter and wander tolerance). The MT9076 will allow a
maximum of 26 channels (208 UI, unit intervals) of wander and low frequency jitter before a frame slip will occur.
The minimum delay through the receive slip buffer is approximately two channels and the maximum delay is
approximately 60 channels (see Figure 13).
When the C4b and the Exclk clocks are not phase-locked, the rate at which data is being written into the slip buffer
from the PCM 30 side may differ from the rate at which it is being read out onto the ST-BUS. If this situation
persists, the delay limits stated in the previous paragraph will be violated and the slip buffer will perform a controlled
frame slip. That is, the buffer pointers will be automatically adjusted so that a full PCM 30 frame is either repeated
or lost. All frame slips occur on PCM 30 frame boundaries.
Two status bits, RSLIP and RSLPD (page03H, address13H) give indication of a slip occurrence and direction.
RSLIP changes state in the event of a slip. If RSLPD=0, the slip buffer has overflowed and a frame was lost; if
RSLPD=1, a underflow condition occurred and a frame was repeated. A maskable interrupt SLPI (page 01H,
address 1BH) is also provided.
Figure 13 illustrates the relationship between the read and write pointers of the receive slip buffer. Measuring
clockwise from the write pointer, if the read pointer comes within two channels of the write pointer a frame slip will
occur, which will put the read pointer 34 channels from the write pointer. Conversely, if the read pointer moves more
than 60 channels from the write pointer, a slip will occur, which will put the read pointer 28 channels from the write
pointer. This provides a worst case hysteresis of 13 channels peak (26 channels peak-to-peak) or a wander
tolerance of 208 UI.

Framing Algorithm
10.1
Frame Alignment in T1 Mode
In T1 mode, MT9076 will synchronize to DS1 lines formatted with either the D4 or ESF protocol. In either mode the
framer maintains a running 3 bit history of received data for each of the candidate bit positions. Candidate bit
positions whose incoming patterns fail to match the predicted pattern (based on the 3 bit history) are winnowed out.
If, after a 10 bit history has been examined, only one candidate bit position remains within the framing bit period, the
receive side timebase is forced to align to that bit position. If no candidates remain after a 10 bit history, the process
is re-initiated. If multiple candidates exist after a 24 bit history timeout period, the framer forces the receive side
49

MT9076B
Data Sheet
timebase to synchronize to the next incoming valid candidate bit position. In the event of a reframe, the framer
starts searching at the next bit position over. This prevents persistent locking to a mimic as the controller may
initiate a software controlled reframe in the event of locking to a mimic.
Under software control the framing criteria may be tuned (see Framing Mode Select Register, page 1H, address
10H). Selecting D4 framing invites a further decision whether or not to include a cross check of Fs bits along with
the Ft bits. If Fs bits are checked (by setting control bit CXC high - bit 5 of the Framing Mode Select Word, page 1H,
address 10H), multiframe alignment is forced at the same time as terminal frame alignment. If only Ft bits are
checked, multiframe alignment is forced separately, upon detection of the Fs bit history of 00111 (for normal D4
trunks) or 000111000111 (for SLC-96 trunks). For D4 trunks, a reframe on the multiframe alignment may be forced
at any time without affecting terminal frame alignment.
In ESF mode, the circuit will optionally confirm the CRC-6 bits before forcing a new frame alignment. This is
programmed by setting control bit CXC high (bit 5 of the Framing Mode Select Word, page 1H, address 10H). A
CRC-6 confirmation adds a minimum of 6 milliseconds to the reframe time. If no CRC-6 match is found after 16
attempts, the framer moves to the next valid candidate bit position (assuming other bit positions contain a match to
the framing pattern) or re-initiates the whole framing procedure (assuming no bit positions have been found to
match the framing pattern).
The framing circuit is off - line. During a reframe, the rest of the circuit operates synchronous with the last frame
alignment. Until such time as a new frame alignment is achieved, the signaling bits are frozen in their states at the
time that frame alignment was lost, and error counting for Ft, Fs, ESF framing pattern or CRC-6 bits is suspended.
10.2
Frame Alignment in E1 Mode
In E1 mode, MT9076 contains three distinct framing algorithms: basic frame alignment, signaling multiframe
alignment and CRC-4 multiframe alignment. Figure 14 is a state diagram that illustrates these algorithms and how
they interact.
After power-up, the basic frame alignment framer will search for a frame alignment signal (FAS) in the PCM 30
receive bit stream. Once the FAS is detected, the corresponding bit 2 of the non-frame alignment signal (NFAS) is
checked. If bit 2 of the NFAS is zero a new search for basic frame alignment is initiated. If bit 2 of the NFAS is one
and the next FAS is correct, the algorithm declares that basic frame synchronization has been found (i.e., page
03H, address 10H, bit 7, SYNC is zero).
Once basic frame alignment is acquired the signaling and CRC-4 multiframe searches will be initiated. The
signaling multiframe algorithm will align to the first multiframe alignment signal pattern (MFAS = 0000) it receives in
the most significant nibble of channel 16 (page 3, address 10H, bit 6, MFSYNC = 0). signaling multiframing will be
lost when two consecutive multiframes are received in error.
The CRC-4 multiframe alignment signal is a 001011 bit sequence that appears in PCM 30 bit position one of the
NFAS in frames 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 (see Table 11). In order to achieve CRC-4 synchronization two consecutive
CRC-4 multiframe alignment signals must be received without error (page 03H, address 10H CRCSYN = 0).
The E1 framing algorithm supports automatic interworking of interfaces with and without CRC-4 processing
capabilities. That is, if an interface with CRC-4 capability, achieves valid basic frame alignment, but does not
achieve CRC-4 multiframe alignment by the end of a predefined period, the distant end is considered to be a
non-CRC-4 interface. When the distant end is a non-CRC-4 interface, the near end automatically suspends receive
CRC-4 functions, continues to transmit CRC-4 data to the distant end with its E-bits set to zero, and provides a
status indication. Naturally, if the distant end initially achieves CRC-4 synchronization, CRC-4 processing will be
carried out by both ends. This feature is selected when control bit AUTC (page 01H, address 10H) is set to zero.

1) The basic frame alignment, signaling multiframe alignment, and CRC-4 multiframe alignment functions
operate in parallel and are independent.
2) The receive channel associated signaling bits and signaling multiframe alignment bit will be frozen when
multiframe alignment is lost.
3) Manual re-framing of the receive basic frame alignment and signaling multiframe alignment functions can be
performed at any time.
4) The transmit RAI bit will be one until basic frame alignment is established, then it will be zero.
5) E-bits can be optionally set to zero until the equipment interworking relationship is established. When this
has been determined one of the following will take place:
a) CRC-to-non-CRC operation - E-bits = 0,
b) CRC-to-CRC operation - E-bits as per G.704 and I.431.
6) All manual re-frames and new basic frame alignment searches start after the current frame alignment signal
position.
7) After basic frame alignment has been achieved, loss of frame alignment will occur any time three consecutive
incorrect basic frame alignment signals are received. Loss of basic frame alignment will reset the complete
framing algorithm.
8) When CRC-4 multiframing has been achieved, the primary basic frame alignment and resulting multiframe
alignment will be adjusted to the basic frame alignment determined during CRC-4 synchronization.
Therefore, the primary basic frame alignment will not be updated during the CRC-4 multiframing search, but
will be updated when the CRC-4 multiframing search is complete.

Reframe
E1 Mode
The MT9076 will automatically force a reframe, if three consecutive frame alignment patterns or three consecutive
non-frame alignment bits are in error.
10.3.2
T1 Mode
The MT9076 will automatically force a reframe if the framing bit error density exceeds the threshold programmed by
control bits RS1-0 (Framing Mode Select Word page 1H, address 10H). RS1 = RS0 = 0 forces a reframe for 2
errors out of a sliding window of 4 framing bits. RS1 = 0, RS0 = 1 forces a reframe with 2 errors out of 5. RS1 = 1,
RS0 = 0 forces a reframe with 2 errors out of 6. RS1 = RS0 = 1 disables the automatic reframe.
In ESF mode, all framing bits are checked. In D4 mode, either Ft bits only (if control bit 2 - FSI - of Framing Mode
Select Register is set low) or Ft and Fs bits are checked (FSI set high). If the D4 secondary yellow alarm is enabled
(control bit 1 - D4SECY of Transmit Alarm Control Word page 1H, address 11H) then the Fs bit of frame 12 is not
verified for the loss of frame circuit.
In E1 or T1 mode, receive transparent mode (selected when bit 3 page 1 address 12H is high) no reframing is
forced by the device.
The user may initiate a software reframe at any time by setting bit 1, page 1, address 10H high (ReFR). Once the
circuit has commenced reframing the signaling bits are frozen until multiframe synchronization has been achieved.

Channel Signaling in T1 Mode
In T1 mode, when control bit RBEn (page 1H, address 14H) is low the MT9076 will insert ABCD or AB signaling bits
into bit 8 of every transmit DS0 channel every 6th frame. The AB or ABCD signaling bits from received frames 6

and 12 (AB) or from frames 6, 12, 18 and 24 (ABCD) will be loaded into an internal storage RAM. The transmit AB/
ABCD signaling nibbles can be passed either via the micro-ports (for channels with bit 1 set high in the Per Time
Slot Control Word - pages 7H and 8H) or through related channels of the CSTi serial links, see “ST-BUS vs. DS1 to
Channel Relationship(T1)” on page 30. The receive signaling bits are always mapped to the equivalent ST-BUS
channels on CSTo. Memory pages five and six contain the transmit AB or ABCD nibbles and pages eight and nine
the receive AB or ABCD nibbles for micro-port CAS access.
The serial control streams that contain the transmit / receive signaling information (CSTi and CSTo respectively) are
clocked at 2.048 MHz. The number of signaling bits to be transmit / received = 24 (timeslots) x 4 bits per timeslot
(ABCD) = 24 nibbles. This leaves many unused nibble positions in the 2.048 MHz CSTi / CSTo bandwidth. These
unused nibble locations are tristated. The usage of the bit stream is as follows: the signaling bits are inserted /
reported in the same CSTi / CSTo channels that correspond to the DS1 channels used in DSTi / DSTo - see Table 6,
“ST-BUS vs. DS1 to Channel Relationship(T1),” on page 30. The control bit MSN (signaling Control Word, page
01H, address 14H) allows for the ABCD bit to use the most significant nibble of CSTi / CSTo (MSN set high) or the
least significant nibble (MSN set low). Unused nibbles and timeslots are tristate. In order to facilitate multiplexing on
the CSTo control stream, an additional control bit CSToEn (signaling Control Word, page 01H, address 14H) will
tristate the whole stream when set low. This control bit is forced low with the reset pin. In the case of D4 trunks, only
AB bits are reported. The control bits SM1-0 allow the user to program the 2 unused bits reported on CSTo in the
signaling nibble otherwise occupied by CD signaling bits in ESF trunks.
A receive signaling bit debounce of 6 msec. can be selected (DBEn set high - signaling Control Word, page 01H,
address 14H). It should be noted that there may be as much as 3 msec. added to this duration because signaling
equipment state changes are not synchronous with the D4 or ESF multiframe.
If multi - frame synchronization is lost (page 3H, address 10H, bit 6 MFSYNC = 1) all receive signaling bits are
frozen. They will become unfrozen when multi - frame synchronization is acquired (this is the same as terminal
frame synchronization for ESF links).
When the SIGI interrupt is unmasked, IRQ will become active when a signaling state change is detected in any of
the 24 receive channels. The SIGI interrupt mask is located on page 1, address 1EH, bit 0 (set high to enable
interrupt); and the SIGI interrupt vector is located on page 4, address 1EH.
11.2
Channel Signaling in E1 Mode
In E1 mode, when control bit TxCCS is set to one, the MT9076 is in Common Channel signaling (CCS) mode.
When TxCCS is low it is in Channel Associated signaling mode (CAS). The CAS mode ABCD signaling nibbles can
be passed either via the micro-ports (when RPSIG = 1) or through related channels of the CSTo and CSTi serial
links (when RPSIG = 0). Memory pages 09H and 0AH contain the receive ABCD nibbles and pages 05H and 06H
the transmit ABCD nibbles for micro-port CAS access.
In CAS operation, an ABCD signaling bit debounce of 14 msec. can be selected by writing a one to DBNCE control
bit. This is consistent with the signaling recognition time of ITU-T Q.422. It should be noted that there may be as
much as 2 msec. added to this duration because signaling equipment state changes are not synchronous with the
PCM 30 multiframe.
If multiframe synchronization is lost (page 03H, address 10H, when MFSYNC = 1) all receive CAS signaling nibbles
are frozen. Receive CAS nibbles will become unfrozen when multiframe synchronization is acquired.
When the CAS signaling interrupt is unmasked (page 01H, address 1EH, SIGIM=1), pin IRQ (pin 12 in PLCC, 65 in
LQFP) will become active when a signaling nibble state change is detected in any of the 30 receive channels.
In CCS mode, the data transmitted on channel 16 is sourced from channel 16 data on DSTi.

Performance Monitoring
13.1
Error Counters
In T1 mode, MT9076 has eight error counters, which can be used for maintenance testing and ongoing
measurement of the quality of a DS1 link and to assist the designer in meeting specifications such as TR62411 and
T1.403. All counters can be preset or cleared by writing to the appropriate locations.
Associated with each counter is a maskable event occurrence interrupt and a maskable counter overflow interrupt.
Overflow interrupts are useful when cumulative error counts are being recorded. For example, every time the
framing bit error counter overflow interrupt (FERO) occurs, 256 frame errors have been received since the last
FERO (page 04H, address 1DH)interrupt. All counters are cleared and held low by programming the counter clear
bit -CNTCLR - high (bit 4 of the Reset Control Word, page 1H, address 1AH). An alternative approach to event
reporting is to mask error events and to enable the 1 second sample bit (SAMPLE - bit 3 of the Reset Control
Word). When this bit is set the counters for change of frame alignment, loss of frame alignment, line code violation
errors, crc errors, errored framing bits, and multiframes out of sync are updated on one second intervals coincident
with the maskable one second interrupt timer.
In E1 mode, MT9076 has six error counters, which can be used for maintenance testing, and ongoing
measurement of the quality of a PCM 30 link and to assist the designer in meeting specifications such as ITU-T
I.431 and G.821. All counters can be preset or cleared by writing to the appropriate locations.
Associated with each counter is a maskable event occurrence interrupt and a maskable counter overflow interrupt.
Overflow interrupts are useful when cumulative error counts are being recorded. For example, every time the frame
error counter overflow (FERO) interrupt occurs, 256 frame errors have been received since the last FERO interrupt.
All counters are cleared and held low by programming the counter clear bit (master control page 01H, address 1A,
bit 4) high. Counter overflows set bits in the counter overflow latch (page 04H, address 1FH); this latch is cleared
when read.
The overflow reporting latch (page 04H, address 1FH) contains a register whose bits are set when individual
counters overflow. These bits stay high until the register is read.

13.2.1
T1 Counters
Framing Bit Error Counter (FC7-0)
This eight bit counter counts errors in the framing pattern. In ESF mode, any error in the 001011 framing pattern
increments the counter. In SLC-96 mode any error in the Ft bit position is counted. In D4 mode Ft errors are always
counted, Fs bits (except for the Sbit in frame 12) may optionally be counted (if control bit FSI is set high - page 1H,
address 10H, bit 2). The counter is located on page 4H, address 13H.
There are two maskable interrupts associated with the Framing bit error measurement. A single error may generate
an interrupt (enable by setting FERI high - bit 7 of the Interrupt Mask Word One, page 1H, address 1CH). A counter
overflow interrupt may be enabled by setting control bit FEOM high - bit 2 of Interrupt Mask Word Two (page 1H,
address 1DH).
13.2.2
Out Of Frame/Change Of Frame Alignment Counter (OOF3-0/COFA3-0)
This register space is shared by two nibbles. One is the count of out of frame events. The other independent
counter is incremented when, after a resynchronization, the frame alignment has moved. This count is reported in
page 4, address 13H.

There are two interrupts associated with the Change of Frame Alignment counter. A single error may generate an
interrupt (enable by setting COFAI high - bit 4 of the Interrupt Mask Word One, page 1H, address 1CH). A counter
overflow interrupt may be enabled by setting control bit COFAO high - bit 4 of Interrupt Mask Word Two (page 1H,

There is one interrupt associated with the Out of Frame counter. A counter overflow interrupt may be enabled by
setting control bit OOFO high - bit 5 of Interrupt Mask Word Two (page 1H, address 1DH).

Multiframes out of Sync Counter (MFOOF7-MFOOF0)
This eight bit counter MFOOF7 - MFOOF0 is located on page 4 address 15H, and is incremented once per
multiframe (1.5 ms for D4 and 3 ms for ESF) during the time that the framer is out of terminal frame
synchronization.
There is a maskable interrupt associated with the measurement. A counter overflow interrupt may be enabled by
setting control bit MFOOFO high - bit 1 of Interrupt Mask Word Two (page 1H, address 1DH).
13.2.4
CRC-6 Error Counter (CC15-0)
CRC-6 errors are recorded by this counter for ESF links. This 16 bit counter is located on page 4, addresses 18H
and 19H.
There are two maskable interrupts associated with the CRC error measurement. A single error may generate an
interrupt (enable by setting CRCI high - bit 6 of the Interrupt Mask Word One, page 1H, address 1CH). A counter
overflow interrupt may be enabled by setting control bit CRCO high - bit 6 of Interrupt Mask Word Two (page 1H,
address 1DH).
13.2.5
Line Code Violation Error Counter (LCV15-LCV0)
If the control bit EXZ (page 1 address 12H bit 5) is set low, the line code violation error counter will count bipolar
violations that are not part of B8ZS encoding. If the control bit EXZ (page 1 address 12H bit 5) is set high, the line
code violation error counter will count both bipolar violations that are not part of B8ZS encoding and each
occurrence of excess zeros (more than 7 successive zeros in a received B8ZS encoded data stream and more than
15 successive zeros in a non-B8ZS encoded stream). This counter LCV15-LCV0 is 16 bits long (page 4H,
addresses 16H and 17H) and is incremented once for every line code violation received. It should be noted that
when presetting or clearing the LCV error counter, the least significant LCV counter address should be written to
before the most significant location. This counter will suspend operation when terminal frame synchronization is lost
if the control bit OOFP is set (bit 2, address 1AH - Reset Control Word).
There are two maskable interrupts associated with the line code violation error measurement. A single error may
generate an interrupt (enable by setting LCVI high - bit 3 of the Interrupt Mask Word One, page 1H, address 1CH).
A counter overflow interrupt may be enabled by setting control bit LCVO high - bit 3 of Interrupt Mask Word Two
(page 1H, address 1DH).
13.2.6
PRBS Error Counter (PS7-0)
There are two 8 bit counters associated with PRBS comparison; one for errors and one for time. Any errors that are
detected in the receive PRBS will increment the PRBS Error Rate Counter of page 04H, address 10H. Writes to this
counter will clear an 8 bit counter, PSM7-0 (page 01H, address 11H) which counts receive CRC multiframes. A
maskable PRBS counter overflow (PRBSO) interrupt (page 1, address 1DH) is associated with this counter.
13.2.7
CRC Multiframe Counter for PRBS (PSM7-0)
This eight bit counter counts receive CRC multiframes. It can be directly loaded via the microport. The counter will
also be automatically cleared in the event that the PRBS error counter is written to by the microport. This counter is
located on page 04H, address 11H.

An eight bit Frame Alignment Signal Error counter EFAS7 - EFAS0 is located on page 04H address 13H, and is
incremented once for every receive frame alignment signal that contains one or more errors.
There are two maskable interrupts associated with the frame alignment signal error measurement. FERI (page
01H, address 1CH) is initiated when the least significant bit of the errored frame alignment signal counter toggles,
and FERRO (page 01H, address 1DH) is initiated when the counter changes from FFH to 00H.

E-bit Counter (EC15-0)
E-bit errors are counted by the MT9076 in order to support compliance with ITU-T requirements. This sixteen bit
counter is located on page 04H, addresses 14H and 15H respectively. It is incremented by single error events, with
a maximum rate of twice per CRC-4 multiframe.
There are two maskable interrupts associated with the E-bit error measurement. EBI (page 1, address 1CH) is
initiated when the least significant bit of the counter toggles, and FEBEO (page 01H, address 1DH) is initiated when
the counter overflows.
13.6
Line Code Violation Error Counter (LCV15-LCV0)
If the control bit EXZ (page 1 address 12H bit 5) is set low, the line code violation error counter will count bipolar
violations that are not part of HDB3 encoding. If the control bit EXZ (page 1 address 12H bit 5) is set high, the line
code violation error counter will count both bipolar violations that are not part of HDB3 encoding and each
occurrence of excess zeros (more than 3 successive zeros in a received HDB3 encoded data stream and more
than 15 successive zeros in a non-HDB3 encoded stream). This counter LCV15-LCV0 is 16 bits long (page 4H,
addresses 16H and 17H) and is incremented once for every line code violation received. It should be noted that
when presetting or clearing the LCV error counter, the least significant LCV counter address should be written to
before the most significant location. This counter will suspend operation when terminal frame synchronization is lost
if the control bit OOFP is set (bit 2, address 1AH - Reset Control Word).
In E1 mode, there are two maskable interrupts associated with the line code violation error measurement. LCVI
(page 01H, address 1CH) is initiated when the l significant bit of the LCV error counter toggles. LCVO (page 01H,
address 1DH) is initiated when the counter changes from FFFFH to 0000H.
13.7
CRC-4 Error Counter (CC15-0)
CRC-4 errors are counted by the MT9076 in order to support compliance with ITU-T requirements. This sixteen bit
counter is located on page 04H, addresses 18H and 19H in E1 mode. It is incremented by single error events,
which is a maximum rate of twice per CRC-4 multiframe.
There is a maskable interrupt associated with the CRC error measurement. CRCIM (page 01H, address 1CH) is
initiated when the least significant bit of the counter toggles, and CRCOM (page 01H, address 1DH) is initiated
when the counter overflows.
13.8
PRBS Error Counter (PS7-0)
There are two 8 bit counters associated with PRBS comparison; one for errors and one for time. Any errors that are
detected in the receive PRBS will increment the PRBS Error Rate Counter of page 04H, address 10H. Writes to this
counter will clear an 8 bit counter, PSM7-0 (page 01H, address 11H) which counts receive CRC multiframes. A
maskable PRBS counter overflow (PRBSO) interrupt (page 1, address 1DH) is associated with this counter.

CRC Multiframe Counter for PRBS (PSM7-0)
This eight bit counter counts receive CRC-4 multiframes. It can be directly loaded via the microport. The counter will
also be automatically cleared in the event that the PRBS error counter is written to by the microport. This counter is
located on page 04H, address 11H.
14.0
Error Insertion
In T1 mode, six types of error conditions can be inserted into the transmit DS1 data stream through control bits,
which are located on page 1, address 19H - Error Insertion Word. These error events include the bipolar violation
errors (BPVE), CRC-6 errors (CRCE), Ft errors (FTE), Fs errors (FSE), payload (PERR) and a loss of signal
condition (LOSE). The LOSE function overrides the B8ZS encoding function.
In E1 mode, six types of error conditions can be inserted into the transmit PCM 30 data stream through control bits,
which are located on page 01H, address 19H. These error events include the bipolar violation errors (BPVE),
CRC-4 errors (CRCE), FAS errors (FASE), NFAS errors (NFSE), payload (PERR) and a loss of signal error (LOSE).
The LOSE function overrides the HDB3 encoding function.

Per Time Slot Control Words
There are two per time slot control pages (addresses AH and BH) (T1/E1) occupying a total of 24 unique addresses
in T1 mode or a total of 32 unique addresses in E1 mode. Each address controls a matching timeslot on the 24 DS1
channels (T1) or 32 PCM-30 channels (E1) and the equivalent channel data on the receive (DSTo) data. For
example address 0 of the first per time slot control page contains program control for transmit timeslot 0 and DSTo
channel 0.

In T1 mode, when bit zero (CC) in the per time slot control word is set no bit robbing for the purpose of signaling will
occur in this channel. This bit is not used in E1 mode.
15.2
Microport Signaling
When bit one (RPSIG) is set, the transmit signaling for the addressed channel can only be programmed by writing
to the transmit signaling page (pages 5H and 6H) via the microport. If zero, the transmit signaling information is
constantly updated with the information from the equivalent channel on CSTi.

Per Time Slot Looping
Any channel or combination of channels may be looped from transmit (sourced from DSTi) to receive (output on
DSTo) STBUS channels. When bit four (LTSL) in the Per Time Slot Control Word is set the data from the equivalent
transmit timeslot is looped back onto the equivalent receive channel.
Any channel or combination of channels may be looped from receive (sourced from the line data) to transmit
(output onto the line) channels. When bit five (RTSL) in the Per Time Slot Control Word is set the data from the
equivalent receive timeslot is looped back onto the equivalent transmit channel.
Remote Timeslot Loopback and Local Timeslot should not be simultaneously activated in the same timeslot.
15.4
PRBS Testing
If the control bit ADSEQ is zero (from master control page 1 - access control word), any channel or combination of
transmit channels may be programmed to contain a generated pseudo random bit sequence (215 -1). The channels
are selected by setting bit three (TTST), in the per time slot control word.
If the control bit ADSEQ is zero, any combination of receive channels may be connected to the PRBS decoder
(215-1). Each error in the incoming sequence causes the PRBS error counter to increment. The receive channels
are selected by setting bit 2 (RRST) in the per time slot control word.
If PRBS is performed during a metallic or external looparound, per time slot control words with TTST set should
have RRST set as well.
15.5
Digital Milliwatt
If the control bit ADSEQ is one, a digital milliwatt sequence (Table 18) in T1 mode or (Table 19) in E1 mode may be
transmitted on any combination of selected channels. The channels are selected by setting bit three (TTST), in the
Per Time Slot Control Word.
Under the same control condition (ADSEQ equal to one), the same digital milliwatt sequence is available to replace
received data on any combination of DSTo channels. This is accomplished by setting bit two (RRST) in the Per
Time Slot Control Word for the corresponding channel.

Alarms
The following alarms are detected by the receiver in T1 mode. Each may generate a maskable interrupt:
•
D4 Yellow Alarm - in D4 mode there are two possible yellow alarm signals. If control bit D4SECY is set low,
(page 1H, address 11H, bit 1) the criteria for a yellow alarm is an excess of’0’s (more than 285) in bit position
2 of incoming DS0 channels during an integration period of 1.5 milliseconds. It is cleared after more than
3’1’s are detected in bit position 2 of normal data in a 1.5 millisecond integration period. If D4SECY is set
high the secondary yellow alarm is selected. The detection criteria becomes 2 consecutive’1’s in the Sbit
position of the 12th frame.
•
ESF Yellow Alarm - In ESF mode, there are two possible yellow alarm signals. If control bit JYEL (page 1H,
address 14H, bit 0) is set low the criteria for a yellow alarm is a pattern 00000000 11111111 in seven or more
code words out of ten, If JYEL is set high, the criteria for a yellow alarm is a pattern 11111111 11111111 in
seven or more code words out of ten.
•
All Ones - This bit (page 3H, address 11H, bit 3) is set if less than six zeros are received on the incoming line
data during a 3 ms interval
•
Loss of Signal - a loss of signal condition occurs when the receive signal level is lower than 20 dB or 40 dB
below the nominal signal level for at least a millisecond or when 32 or 192 (control bit L32Z (page 01H,
address 19H, bit 1) consecutive zeros have been received. A loss of signal condition will terminate when an
average ones density of at least 12.5% has been received over a period of 193 contiguous pulse positions
starting with a pulse. The loss of signal is reported in the Receive Signal Status Word - (page 3, address 16H
bit 4).
The following alarms are detected by the receiver in E1 mode. Each may generate a maskable interrupt:
•
Remote Alarm Indication (RAI) - bit 3 (A) of the receive NFAS;
•
Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) - unframed all ones signal for at least a double frame (512 bits) or two double
frames (1024 bits);
•
Channel 16 Alarm Indication Signal - all ones signal in channel 16;
60
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
MT9076B
Data Sheet
•
Auxiliary pattern - 101010... pattern for at least 512 bits;
•
Loss of Signal - a loss of signal condition occurs when the receive signal level is lower than 20 dB or 40 dB
(by setting the bit ELOS on page 02H, address 10H, bit 3) below the nominal signal level for more than a
millisecond or when more than 32 or 192 (control bit L32Z (page 01H, address 19H 9 bit 1) zeros have been
received in a row. A loss of signal condition will terminate when an average ones density of at least 12.5%
has been received over a period of 192 contiguous pulse positions starting with a pulse.
•
Remote signaling Multiframe Alarm - (Y-bit) of the multiframe alignment signal.
The alarm reporting latch (page 04H, address 12H) contains a register whose bits are set high for selected alarms.
These bits stay high until the register is read. This allows the controller to record intermittent or sporadic alarm
occurrences.
16.1
Automatic Alarms
In E1 mode, the transmission of RAI and signaling multiframe alarms can be made to function automatically from
control bits ARAI and AUTY (page 01H, address 10H). When ARAI = 0 and basic frame synchronization is lost
(SYNC = 1), the MT9076 will automatically transmit the RAI alarm signal to the far end of the link. The transmission
of this alarm signal will cease when basic frame alignment is acquired.
When AUTY = 0 and signaling multiframe alignment is not acquired (MFSYNC = 1), the MT9076 will automatically
transmit the multiframe alarm (Y-bit) signal to the far end of the link. This transmission will cease when signaling
multiframe alignment is acquired.

Detected Events
17.1
T1 Mode
17.1.1
Severely Errored Frame Event
In T1 mode, bit 5 page 3H address 10H toggles whenever a sliding window detects 2 framing errors events (Ft or
ESF) in a sliding window of 6.
17.1.2
Loop Code Detect
T1.403 defines SF mode line loopback activate and deactivate codes. These codes are either a framed or
un-framed repeating bit sequence of 00001 for activation or 001 for deactivation. The standard goes on to say that
these codes will persist for five seconds or more before the loopback action is taken. In T1 mode MT9076 will
detect both framed and unframed line activate and de-activate codes even in the presence of a BER of 3 x 10-3.
Line Loopback Disable Detect - LLDD - in the Alarm Status Word (bit 0 address 11H of page 3H) will be asserted
when a repeating 001 pattern (either framed or unframed) has persisted for 48 milliseconds. Line Loopback Enable
Detect LLED in the Alarm Status Word will be asserted when a repeating 00001 pattern (either framed or unframed)
has persisted for 48 milliseconds.
17.1.3
Pulse Density Violation Detect
In T1 mode, bit 2 of address 11H on page 3H (PDV) toggles if the receive data fails to meet ones density
requirements. It will toggle upon detection of 16 consecutive zeros on the line data, or if there are less than N ones
in a window of 8(N+1) bits - where N = 1 to 23.
17.1.4
Timer Outputs
In T1 mode, MT9076 has a one second timer derived from the 20 MHz oscillator pins. The timer may be used to
trigger interrupts for T1.403/408 performance messaging.

Receive Frame Alignment Signals
These bits are received on the PCM 30 and link in bit positions two to eight of time slot 0 - frame alignment signal.
These signals form the frame alignment signal and should be 0011011.
17.2.3
Receive Non Frame Alignment Signal
This signal is received on the PCM 30 and link in bit position two of time slot 0 - non frame alignment signal.
17.2.4
Receive Multiframe Alignment Signals
These signal are received on the PCM 30 and link in bit position one to four of time slot 16 of frame zero of every
signaling multiframe.
18.0
Interrupts
The MT9076 has an extensive suite of maskable interrupts, which are divided into four categories based on the
type of event that caused the interrupt. Each interrupt has an associated mask and interrupt bit. When an
unmasked interrupt event occurs, IRQ will go low and one or more bits of the appropriate interrupt register will go
high(T1/E1). After each interrupt register is read it is automatically cleared. When all interrupt registers are cleared
IRQ will return to a high impedance state. This function can also be accomplished by toggling the INTA bit (page
01H, address 1AH, bit 5).
All the interrupts of the MT9076 in T1 and E1 mode are maskable. This is accomplished through interrupt mask
words zero to three, which are located on page 1, addresses 1BH to 1EH and the (optional) HDLC interrupt mask
located at address 16 of page B.
After a MT9076 reset (RESET pin or RST control bit), all interrupts are masked.
All interrupts may be suspended, without changing the interrupt mask words, by making the SPND control bit of
page 1, address 1AH high.
All interrupts are cleared by forcing the pin TxAO low

Setting bit 4 in the Configuration Control Word (address 10H of Master Control Page 2) disables the LIU and
converts the MT9076 into a digital T1 transceiver. The digital 2.048 Mb/s ST-BUS backplane maps into transmit and
receive digital 1.544 Mb/s streams. The 1.544 Mb/s transmit streams may be formatted for single phase NRZ (by
setting bit 7 of the LIU Control Word - Master Page 1 high) or two phase NRZ. The data rate conversion (between
2.048 Mb/s and 1.544 Mb/s) is done within the MT9076. The transmit 1.544 MHz clock is internally generated from
a PLL that locks onto the input C4b clock. This clock is then output on pin E1.5o/Exclk (PLCC pin 44 - LQFP pin
22). The digital 1.544 Mb/s transmit data is output on pins TXA and TXB (PLCC pins 37,38 - LQFP pins 12, 13) with
the rising edge of pin Exclk. If the control bit Tx8KEN is set high (page 2H address 10H bit 2) the pin RxMF/TxFP
will generate an 8 KHz positive frame pulse synchronous with the Sbit clocked out on TXA/TXB. Receive digital
data is clocked in on pins RRING and RTIP. This data is clocked in with the rising edge of the input 1.544 MHz clock
S/FR/Exclki (PLCC pin 66, LQFP pin 48).

(by setting bit 7 of the LIU Control Word - Master Page 1 high) or two phase NRZ. The transmit 2.048 MHz clock is
derived from the input C4b clock. This clock is then output on pin Exclk (PLCC pin 44 - LQFP pin 22). The digital
2.048 Mb/s transmit data is output on pins TXA and TXB (PLCC pins 37,38 - LQFP pins 12, 13) with the rising edge

SLC96 Mode Select. Setting this bit enables input and output of the Fs bit pattern on the TxDL
and RxDL pins. Frame synchronization is the same as in the case of D4 operation. The
transmitter will insert A and B bits every 6 frames after synchronizing to the Fs pattern clocked
into Txdl. Receive Fs bits are not monitored for the Framing Bit Error Counter.

CXC
Cross Check. Setting this bit in ESF mode enables a cross check of the CRC-6 remainder
before the frame synchronizer pulls into sync. This process adds at least 6 milliseconds to the
frame synchronization time. Setting this bit in D4 (not ESF) mode enables a check of the Fs
bits in addition to the Ft bits during frame synchronization

Functional Description
Extended Super Frame. Setting this bit enables transmission and reception of the 24 frame
superframe DS1 protocol.
Reframe Select 1 - 0. These bits set the criteria for an automatic reframe in the event of
framing bits errors. The combinations available are:
RS1 - 0, RS0 - 0 = sliding window of 2 errors out of 4.
RS1 - 0, RS0 - 1 = sliding window of 2 errors out of 5.
RS1 - 1, RS0 - 0 = sliding window of 2 errors out of 6.
RS1 - 1, RS0 - 1 = no reframes due to framing bit errors.
Fs Bit Include. Only applicable in D4 mode (not ESF or SLC96). Setting this bit causes
errored Fs bits to be included as framing bit errors. A bad Fs bit will increment the Framing
Error Bit Counter, and will potentially cause a reframe (if it is the second bad framing bit out of
5). The Fs bit of the receive frame 12 will only be included if D4SECY is set.
Reframe. A low - to - high transition on this bit causes an automatic reframe.
MFReFR MultiFrame Reframe. Only applicable in D4 or SLC96 mode. A low - to - high transition on this
bit causes an automatic multiframe reframe. The signaling bits are frozen until multiframe
synchronization is achieved. Terminal frame synchronization is not affected.

been acquired. And, RAI=0 when basic synchronization has not been acquired. if
one, the remote alarm indication bit is controlled through the TALM bit of the transmit
Non-Frame Alignment Control Word.
3
AUTY
Automatic Y-Bit Operation. If zero, the Y-bit of the transmit multiframe alignment signal will

ADREC
Address Recognition. When high this bit will enable address recognition. This forces the
receiver to recognize only those packets having the unique address as programmed in the
Receive Address Recognition Registers or if the address is an All call address.
6
RxEN
Receive Enable. When low this bit will disable the HDLC receiver. The receiver will disable
after the rest of the packet presently being received is finished. The receiver internal clock
is disabled.
When high the receiver will be immediately enabled and will begin searching for flags,
Go-aheads etc.

TxEN
Transmit Enable. When low this bit will disable the HDLC transmitter. The transmitter will
disable after the completion of the packet presently being transmitted. The transmitter
internal clock is disabled.
When high the transmitter will be immediately enabled and will begin transmitting data, if
any, or go to a mark idle or interframe time fill state.
4
EOP
End of Packet. Forms a tag on the next byte written the TX FIFO, and when set will
indicate an end of packet byte to the transmitter, which will transmit an FCS following this
byte. This facilitates loading of multiple packets into TX FIFO. Reset automatically after a
write to the TX FIFO occurs.
3
FA
Frame Abort. Forms a tag on the next byte written to the TX FIFO, and when set will
indicate to the transmitter that it should abort the packet in which that byte is being
transmitted. Reset automatically after a write to the TX FIFO.
2
Mark-Idle
Mark - Idle. When low, the transmitter will be in an idle state. When high it is in an
interframe time fill state. These two states will only occur when the TX FIFO is empty.
1
TR
Transparent Mode. When high this bit will enable transparent mode. This will perform the
parallel to serial conversion without inserting or deleting zeros. No CRC bytes are sent or
monitored nor are flags or aborts. A falling edge of TxEN for transmit and a falling edge of
RxEN for receive is necessary to initialize transparent mode. This will also synchronize the
data to the transmit and receive channel structure. Also, the transmitter must be enabled
through control register 1 before transparent mode is entered.

RxFRST
RX FIFO Reset. When high, the RX FIFO will be reset. This causes the receiver to be
disabled until the next reception of a flag. The status register will identify the FIFO as being
empty. However, the actual bit values in the RX FIFO will not be reset.
0
TxFRST
TX FIFO Reset. When high, the TX FIFO will be reset. The Status Register will identify the
FIFO as being empty. This bit will be reset when data is written to the TX FIFO. However, the
actual bit values of data in the TX FIFO will not be reset. It is cleared by the next write to the
TX FIFO.

This register is used with the Interrupt Register to mask out the interrupts that are
not required by the microprocessor. Interrupts that are masked out will not drive the
pin IRQ low; however, they will set the appropriate bit in the Interrupt Register. An
interrupt is disabled when the microprocessor writes a 0 to a bit in this register.
This register is cleared on power reset.

RxEOP
End Of Packet Detected. This bit is set when an end of packet (EOP) byte was written into
the RX FIFO by the HDLC receiver. This can be in the form of a flag, an abort sequence or
as an invalid packet. This bit is reset after a read.
5
TxEOP
Transmit End Of Packet. This bit is set when the transmitter has finished sending the
closing flag of a packet or after a packet has been aborted. This bit is reset after read.
4
RxFE
End Of Packet Read. This bit is set when the byte about to be read from the RX FIFO is the
last byte of the packet. It is also set if the Rx FIFO is read and there is no data in it. This bit
is reset after a read.
3
TXFL
TX FIFO Low. This bit is set when the Tx FIFO is emptied below the selected low threshold
level. This bit is reset after a read.
2
FA:
TxUNDER
Frame Abort/TX FIFO Underrun. When Intsel bit of Control Register 2 is low, this bit (FA) is
set when a frame abort is received during packet reception. It must be received after a
minimum number of bits have been received (26) otherwise it is ignored.
When INTSEL bit of Control Register 2 is high, this bit is set for a TX FIFO underrun
indication. If high it Indicates that a read by the transmitter was attempted on an empty Tx
FIFO.
This bit is reset after a read.
1
RXFF
0
RxOVF
Go Ahead. Indicates a go-ahead pattern was detected by the HDLC receiver. This bit is
reset after a read.
RX FIFO Full. This bit is set when the Rx FIFO is filled above the selected full threshold
level. This bit is reset after a read.
RX FIFO Overflow. Indicates that the 128 byte RX FIFO overflowed (i.e., an attempt to write
to a 128 byte full RX FIFO). The HDLC will always disable the receiver once the receive
overflow has been detected. The receiver will be re-enabled upon detection of the next flag,
but will overflow again unless the RX FIFO is read. This bit is reset after a read.

TxCNT7-0
Low Transmit Byte Count Register. This register, along with the Extended
Transmit Byte Count Register indicates the length of the packet about to be
transmitted. For a packet size of 255 or less it is only necessary to write this
register. When this register reaches the count of one, the next write to the Tx FIFO
will be tagged as an end of packet byte. The counter decrements at the end of the
write to the Tx FIFO. If the Cycle bit of Control Register 2 is set high, the counter will
cycle through the programmed value continuously.

HRST
HDLC Reset. When this bit is set to one, the HDLC will be reset. This is similar to
RESET being applied, the only difference being that this bit will not be reset. This bit
can only be reset by writing a zero twice to this location or applying RESET.
6
RTLOOP
RT Loopback. When this bit is high, receive to transmit HDLC loopback will be
activated. Receive data, including end of packet indication, but not including flags or
CRC, will be written to the TX FIFO as well as the RX FIFO. When the transmitter is
enabled, this data will be transmitted as though written by the microprocessor. Both
good and bad packets will be looped back. Receive to transmit loopback may also
be accomplished by reading the RX FIFO using the microprocessor and writing
these bytes, with appropriate tags, into the TX FIFO.

3
CRCTST
CRC Remainder Test. This bit allows direct access to the CRC Comparison
Register in the receiver through the serial interface. After testing is enabled, serial
data is clocked in until the data aligns with the internal comparison (16 RXC clock
cycles) and then the clock is stopped. The expected pattern is F0B8 hex. Each bit
of the CRC can be corrupted to allow more efficient testing.
2
FTST
FIFO Test. This bit allows the writing to the RX FIFO and reading of the TX FIFO
through the microprocessor to allow more efficient testing of the FIFO
status/interrupt functionality. This is done by making a TX FIFO write become a RX
FIFO write and a RX FIFO read become a TX FIFO read. In addition, EOP/FA and
RQ8/RQ9 are re-defined to be accessible (i.e., RX write causes EOP/FA to go to
RX fifo input; TX read looks at output of TX fifo through RQ8/RQ9 bits).
1
ARTST
Address Recognition Test. This bit allows direct access to the Address
Recognition Registers in the receiver through the serial interface to allow more
efficient testing. After address testing is enabled, serial data is clocked in until the
data aligns with the internal address comparison (16 RXc clock cycles) and then
clock is stopped.
0
HLOOP
TR Loopback. When high, transmit to receive HDLC loopback will be activated.
The packetized transmit data will be looped back to the receive input. RXEN and
TXEN bits must also be enabled.
