DESCRIPTION
The DS21Q41B combines four of the popular DS2141A T1 Controllers onto a single monolithic die. The
“B” designation denotes that some new features are available in the Quad version that were not available
in the single T1 device. The added features in the DS21Q41B are listed in Section 1. The DS21Q41B
offers a substantial space savings to applications that require more than one T1 framer on a card. The
Quad version is only slightly bigger than the single T1 device. All four framers in the DS21Q41B are
totally independent; they do not share a common framing synchronizer. Also, the transmit and receive
sides of each framer are totally independent. The dual two-frame elastic stores contained in each of the
four framers can be independently enabled and disabled as required. The DS21Q41B meets all of the
latest specifications including ANSI T1.403 (and the emerging T1.403-199X), ANSI T1.231-1993,
AT&T TR62411, AT&T TR54016, ITU G.704 and G.706.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The DS21Q41B Quad T1 Framer is made up of five main parts: framer #0, framer #1, framer #2, framer
#3, and the control port which is shared by all four framers. See the Block Diagram in Figure 1-1. Each
of the four framers within the DS21Q41B maintain the same register structure that appeared in the
DS2141A. The two framer select inputs (FS0 and FS1) are used to determine which framer within the
DS21Q41B is being accessed. In this manner, software written for the DS2141A can also be used with
only slight modifications, in the DS21Q41B.
Several new features have been added to the framers in the DS21Q41B over the DS2141A. Below is short
list of the new features. More details can be found in Sections 2 through 12.

DS21Q41B
DS21Q41B PIN DESCRIPTION Table 1-4
Transmit Clock [TCLK]. 1.544 MHz primary clock. Used to clock data through the transmit side
formatter.
Transmit Serial Data [TSER]. Transmit NRZ serial data. Sampled on the falling edge of TCLK when
the transmit side elastic store is disabled. Sampled on the falling edge of TSYSCLK when the transmit
side elastic store is enabled.
Transmit Channel Clock [TCHCLK]. 192 kHz clock which pulses high during the LSB of each
channel. Synchronous with TCLK when the transmit side elastic store is disabled. Synchronous with
TSYSCLK when the transmit side elastic store is enabled. Useful for parallel to serial conversion of
channel data, locating robbed-bit signaling bits, and for blocking clocks in DDS applications. See Section
12 for timing details.
Transmit Bipolar Data [TPOS and TNEG]. Updated on rising edge of TCLK. Can be programmed to
output NRZ data on TPOS via the TCR1.7 control bit.
Transmit Channel Block [TCHBLK]. A user programmable output that can be forced high or low
during any of the 24 T1 channels. Synchronous with TCLK when the transmit side elastic store is
disabled. Synchronous with TSYSCLK when the transmit side elastic store is enabled. Useful for
blocking clocks to a serial UART or LAPD controller in applications where not all T1 channels are used
such as Fractional T1, 384k bps service, 768k bps, or ISDN-PRI. Also useful for locating individual
channels in drop-and-insert applications and for per-channel loopback. See Section 12 for timing details.
Transmit System Clock [TSYSCLK]. 1.544 MHz or 2.048 MHz clock. Only used when the transmit
side elastic store function is enabled. Should be tied low in applications that do not use the transmit side
elastic store.
Transmit Link Clock [TLCLK]. 4 kHz or 2 kHz (ZBTSI) demand clock for the TLINK input. See
Section 12 for timing details.
Transmit Link Data [TLINK]. If enabled via TCR1.2, this pin will be sampled during the F-bit time on
the falling edge of TCLK for data insertion into either the FDL stream (ESF) or the Fs bit position (D4)
or the Z-bit position (ZBTSI). See Section 12 for timing details.
Transmit Sync [TSYNC]. A pulse at this pin will establish either frame or multiframe boundaries for the
DS21Q41B. Via TCR2.2, the DS21Q41B can be programmed to output either a frame or multiframe
pulse at this pin. If this pin is set to output pulses at frame boundaries, it can also be set via TCR2.4 to
output double-wide pulses at signaling frames. See Section 12 for timing details.
Transmit Frame Sync [TFSYNC]. 8 kHz pulse. Only used when the transmit side elastic store is
enabled. A pulse at this pin will establish frame boundaries for the DS21Q41B. Should be tied low in
applications that do not use the transmit side elastic store. See Section 12 for timing details.
Receive Link Data [RLINK]. Updated with either FDL data (ESF) or Fs bits (D4) or Z bits (ZBTSI) one
RCLK before the start of a frame. See Section 12 for timing details.
Receive Link Clock [RLCLK]. 4 kHz or 2 kHz (ZBTSI) demand clock for the RLINK input. See
Section 12 for timing details.
8 of 61
DS21Q41B
Receive Clock [RCLK]. 1.544 MHz primary clock. Used to clock data through the receive side of the
framer.
Receive Channel Clock [RCHCLK]. 192 kHz clock which pulses high during the LSB of each channel.
Synchronous with RCLK when the receive side elastic store is disabled. Synchronous with RSYSCLK
when the receive side elastic store is enabled. Useful for parallel to serial conversion of channel data,
locating robbed-bit signaling bits, and for blocking clocks in DDS applications. See Section 12 for timing
details.
Receive Channel Block [RCHBLK]. A user programmable output that can be forced high or low during
any of the 24 T1 channels. Synchronous with RCLK when the receive side elastic store is disabled.
Synchronous with RSYSCLK when the receive side elastic store is enabled. Useful for blocking clocks to
a serial UART or LAPD controller in applications where not all T1 channels are used such as Fractional
T1, 384k bps service, 768k bps, or ISDN-PRI. Also useful for locating individual channels in drop-andinsert applications and for per-channel loopback. See Section 12 for timing details.
Receive Serial Data [RSER]. Received NRZ serial data. Updated on rising edges of RCLK when the
receive side elastic store is disabled. Updated on the rising edges of RSYSCLK when the receive side
elastic store is enabled.
Receive Sync [RSYNC]. An extracted pulse, one RCLK wide, is output at this pin which identifies either
frame (RCR2.4=0) or multiframe boundaries (RCR2.4=1). If set to output frame boundaries, then via
RCR2.5, RSYNC can also be set to output double-wide pulses on signaling frames. If the receive side
elastic store is enabled, then this pin can be enabled to be an input at which a frame boundary pulse is
applied. See Section 12 for timing details.
Receive Frame Sync (RFSYNC). An extracted 8 kHz pulse, one RCLK wide, is output at this pin which
identifies frame boundaries. See Section 12 for timing details.
Receive Multiframe Sync [RMSYNC]. Only used when the receive side elastic store is enabled. An
extracted pulse, one RSYSCLK wide, is output at this pin which identifies multiframe boundaries. If the
receive side elastic store is disabled, then this output should be ignored. See Section 12 for timing details.
Receive Bipolar Data Inputs [RPOS and RNEG]. Sampled on falling edge of RCLK. Tie together to
receive NRZ data and disable bipolar violation monitoring circuitry.
Receive System Clock [RSYSCLK]. 1.544 MHz or 2.048 MHz clock. Only used when the elastic store
function is enabled. Should be tied low in applications that do not use the elastic store. Allowing this pin
to float can cause the device to 3-state its outputs.
Receive Loss of Sync/Loss of Transmit Clock [RLOS/LOTC]. A dual function output. If CCR1.6=0,
then this pin will toggle high when the synchronizer is searching for the T1 frame and multiframe. If
CCR1.6=1, then this pin will toggle high if the TCLK pin has not been toggled for 5 µs.
Receive Alarm Interrupt [ INT ]. Flags host controller during conditions defined in the Status Registers
of the four framers. User can poll the Interrupt Status Register (ISR) to determine which status register in
which framer is active (if any). Active low, open drain output.
3-State Control [Test]. Set high to 3-state all output and I/O pins (including the parallel control port). Set
low for normal operation. Useful in board-level testing.
9 of 61
DS21Q41B
Bus Operation [MUX]. Set low to select non-multiplexed bus operation. Set high to select multiplexed
bus operation.
Data Bus [D0 to D7] or Address/Data Bus [AD0 to AD7]. In non-multiplexed bus operation (MUX=0),
serves as the data bus. In multiplexed bus operation (MUX=1), serves as an 8-bit multiplexed
address/data bus.
Address Bus [A0 to A5]. In non-multiplexed bus operation (MUX=0), serves as the address bus. In
multiplexed bus operation (MUX=1), these pins are not used and should be tied low.
Bus Type Select [BTS]. Strap high to select Motorola bus timing; strap low to select Intel bus timing.
This pin controls the function of the RD (DS), ALE(AS), and WR (R/ W ) pins. If BTS=1, then these pins
assume the function listed in parentheses ().
Read Input [ RD ] (Data Strobe [DS]).
Framer Selects [FS0 and FS1]. Selects which of the four framers to be accessed.
Chip Selects [ CS ]. Must be low to read or write to any of the four framers.
A6 or Address Latch Enable [ALE] (Address Strobe [AS]). In non-multiplexed bus operation
(MUX=0), serves as the upper address bit. In multiplexed bus operation (MUX=1), serves to demultiplex
the bus on a positive-going edge.
Write Input [ WR ] (Read/Write [R/ W ]).
Positive Supply [VDD]. 5.0 volts ±0.5 volts.
Signal Ground [VSS]. 0.0 volts.

2.0 PARALLEL PORT
The DS21Q41B is controlled via either a non-mutliplexed (MUX=0) or multiplexed (MUX=1) by an
external microcontroller or microprocessor. The DS21Q41B can operate with either Intel or Motorola bus
timing configurations. If the BTS pin is tied low, Intel timing will be selected; if tied high, Motorola
timing will be selected. All Motorola bus signals are listed in parenthesis (). See the timing diagrams in
the A.C. Electrical Characteristics for more details.
3.0 CONTROL REGISTERS
The operation of each framer within the DS21Q41B is configured via a set of seven registers. Typically,
the control registers are only accessed when the system is first powered up. Once the DS21Q41B has
been initialized, the control registers will only need to be accessed when there is a change in the system
configuration. There are two Receive Control Registers (RCR1 and RCR2), two Transmit Control
Registers (TCR1 and TCR2), and three Common Control Registers (CCR1, CCR2, and CCR3).

PAYLOAD LOOPBACK
When CCR1.1 is set to a one, the DS21Q41B will be forced into Payload LoopBack (PLB). Normally,
this loopback is only enabled when ESF framing is being performed. In a PLB situation, the DS21Q41B
will loop the 192 bits of payload data (with BPVs corrected) from the receive section back to the transmit
section. The FPS framing pattern, CRC6 calculation, and the FDL bits are not looped back; they are
reinserted by the DS21Q41B. When PLB is enabled, the following will occur:
1. Data will be transmitted from the TPOS and TNEG pins synchronous with RCLK instead of TCLK.
2. All of the receive side signals will continue to operate normally.
.
3. The TCHCLK and TCHBLK signals are forced low.
4. Data at the TSER pin is ignored.
5. The TLCLK signal will become synchronous with RCLK instead of TCLK.

useful in testing and debugging applications. In FLB, the DS21Q41B will loop data from the transmit
side back to the receive side. When FLB is enabled, the following will occur:
1. An unframed all 1s code will be transmitted at TPOS and TNEG.
2. Data at RPOS and RNEG will be ignored.
3. All receive side signals will take on timing synchronous with TCLK instead of RCLK.

LOOP CODE GENERATION
When either the CCR3.1 or CCR3.2 bits are set to one, the DS21Q41B will replace the normal
transmitted payload with either the Loop Up or Loop Down code respectively. The DS21Q41B will
overwrite the repeating loop code pattern with the framing bits. The SCT will continue to transmit the
loop codes as long as either bit is set. It is an illegal state to have both CCR3.1 and CCR3.2 set to 1 at the
same time.
20 of 61
DS21Q41B
PULSE DENSITY ENFORCER
The DS21Q41B always examines both the transmit and receive data streams for violations of the
following rules which are required by ANSI T1.403-1989: - no more than 15 consecutive 0s - at least N
ones in each and every time window of 8 x (N +1) bits where N=1 through 23. Violations for the transmit
and receive data streams are reported in the RIR2.2 and RIR2.1 bits, respectively.
When the CCR3.3 is set to 1, the DS21Q41B will force the transmitted stream to meet this requirement
no matter the content of the transmitted stream. When running B8ZS, the CCR3.3 bit should be set to 0
since B8ZS encoded data streams cannot violate the pulse density requirements.
POWER-UP SEQUENCE
On power-up, after the supplies are stable, the DS21Q41B should be configured for operation by writing
to all of the internal registers (this includes setting the Test Registers to 00Hex) since the contents of the
internal registers cannot be predicted on power-up. Finally, after the TSYSCLK and RSYSCLK inputs
are stable, the ESR bit should be toggled from a 0 to a 1 (this step can be skipped if the elastic stores are
disabled).
4.0 STATUS AND INFORMATION REGISTERS
There is a set of four registers that contain information on the current real time status of the DS21Q41B,
Status Register 1 (SR1), Status Register 2 (SR2), Receive Information Register 1 (RIR1), and Receive
Information Register 2 (RIR2). When a particular event has occurred (or is occurring), the appropriate bit
in one of these four registers will be set to a 1. All of the bits in these registers operate in a latched
fashion. This means that if an event occurs and a bit is set to a 1 in any of the registers, it will remain set
until the user reads that bit. The bit will be cleared when it is read and it will not be set again until the
event has occurred again or if the alarm(s) is still present.
The user will always precede a read of these registers with a write. The byte written to the register will
inform the DS21Q41B which bits the user wishes to read and have cleared. The user will write a byte to
one of these four registers, with a 1 in the bit positions he or she wishes to read and a 0 in the bit positions
he or she does not wish to obtain the latest information on. When a 1 is written to a bit location, the read
register will be updated with current value and it will be cleared. When a 0 is written to a bit position, the
read register will not be updated and the previous value will be held. A write to the status and information
registers will be immediately followed by a read of the same register. The read result should be logically
AND’ed with the mask byte that was just written and this value should be written back into the same
register to insure that the bit does indeed clear. This second write is necessary because the alarms and
events in the status registers occur asynchronously in respect to their access via the parallel port. The
write-read-write scheme is unique to the four status registers and it allows an external microcontroller or
microprocessor to individually poll certain bits without disturbing the other bits in the register. This
operation is key in controlling the DS21Q41B with higher-order software languages.
The SR1 and SR2 registers have the unique ability to initiate a hardware interrupt via the INT output pin.
All four framers within the DS21Q41B share the INT output. Each of the alarms and events in the SR1
and SR2 can be either masked or unmasked from the interrupt pins via the Interrupt Mask Register 1
(IMR1) and Interrupt Mask Register 2 (IMR2) respectively. The user can determine which framer has
active interrupts by polling the Interrupt Status Register (ISR).

NOTES:
1. The definition of Blue Alarm (or Alarm Indication Signal) is an unframed all 1s signal. Blue alarm
detectors should be able to operate properly in the presence of a 10-3 error rate and they should not
falsely trigger on a framed all 1s signal. The blue alarm criteria in the DS21Q41B has been set to
achieve this performance. It is recommended that the RBL bit be qualified with the RLOS bit.
2. ANSI specifications use a different nomenclature than the DS21Q41B does; the following terms are
equivalent:
RBL=AIS
RCL=LOS
RLOS=LOF
RYEL=RAI
LOOP UP/DOWN CODE DETECTION
Bits SR1.7 and SR1.6 will indicate when either the standard “loop up” or “loop down” codes are being
received by the DS21Q41B. When a loop up code has been received for 5 seconds, the CPE is expected
to loop the recovered data (without correcting BPVs) back to the source. The loop down code indicates
that the loopback should be discontinued. See the AT&T publication TR 62411 for more details. The
DS21Q41B will detect the loop up/down codes in both framed and unframed circumstances with bit error
rates as high as 10**-2. The loop code detector has a nominal integration period of 48 ms. Hence, after
about 48 ms of receiving either code, the proper status bit will be set to a 1. After this initial indication, it
is recommend that the software poll the DS21Q41B every 100 ms to 500 ms until 5 seconds has elapsed
to insure that the code is continuously present.

DS21Q41B
5.0 ERROR COUNT REGISTERS
There are a set of three counters in the DS21Q41B that record bipolar violations, excessive 0s, errors in
the CRC6 code words, framing bit errors, and number of multiframes that the device is out of receive
synchronization. Each of these three counters are automatically updated on 1-second boundaries as
determined by the one second timer in Status Register 2 (SR2.5). Hence, these registers contain
performance data from the previous second. The user can use the interrupt from the 1-second timer to
determine when to read these registers. The user has a full second to read the counters before the data is
lost. All three counters will saturate at their respective maximum counts and they will not rollover (note:
only the Line Code Violation Count Register has the potential to overflow).
5.1 Line Code Violation Count Register (LCVCR)
Line Code Violation Count Register 1 High (LCVCR1) is the most significant word and LCVCR2 is the
least significant word of a 16-bit counter that records code violations (CVs). CVs are defined as Bipolar
Violations (BPVs) or excessive 0s. See Table 5-1 for details of exactly what the LCVCRs count. If the
B8ZS mode is set for the receive side via CCR2.2, then B8ZS code words are not counted. This counter is
always enabled; it is not disabled during receive loss of synchronization (RLOS=1) conditions.

5.2 Path Code Violation Count Register (PCVCR)
When the receive side of the DS21Q41B is set to operate in the ESF framing mode (CCR2.3=1), PCVCR
will automatically be set as a 12-bit counter that will record errors in the CRC6 code words. When set to
operate in the D4 framing mode (CCR2.3=0), PCVCR will automatically count errors in the Ft framing
bit position. Via the RCR2.1 bit, the DS21Q41B can be programmed to also report errors in the Fs
framing bit position. The PCVCR will be disabled during receive loss of synchronization (RLOS=1)
conditions. See Table 5-2 for a detailed description of exactly what errors the PCVCR counts.

5.3 Multiframes Out of Sync Count Register (MOSCR)
Normally the MOSCR is used to count the number of multiframes that the receive synchronizer is out of
sync (RCR2.0=1). This number is useful in ESF applications needing to measure the parameters Loss Of
Frame Count (LOFC) and ESF Error Events as described in AT&T publication TR54016. When the
MOSCR is operated in this mode, it is not disabled during receive loss of synchronization (RLOS=1)
conditions. The MOSCR has alternate operating mode whereby it will count either errors in the Ft
framing pattern (in the D4 mode) or errors in the FPS framing pattern (in the ESF mode). When the
MOSCR is operated in this mode, it is disabled during receive loss of synchronization (RLOS=1)
conditions. See Table 5-3 for a detailed description of what the MOSCR is capable of counting.

6.0 FDL/Fs EXTRACTION AND INSERTION
The DS21Q41B has the ability to extract/insert data from/into the Facility Data Link (FDL) in the ESF
framing mode and from/into Fs bit position in the D4 framing mode. Since SLC-96 utilizes the Fs bit
position, this capability can also be used in SLC-96 applications. The operation of the receive and
transmit sections will be discussed separately. Contact the factory for a copy of C language source code
for implementing the FDL on the DS21Q41B.
6.1 Receive Section
In the receive section, the recovered FDL bits or Fs bits are shifted bit-by-bit into the Receive FDL
register (RFDL). Since the RFDL is 8 bits in length, it will fill up every 2 ms (8 times 250 µs). The
DS21Q41B will signal an external microcontroller that the buffer has filled via the SR2.4 bit. If enabled
via IMR2.4, the INT pin will toggle low indicating that the buffer has filled and needs to be read. The
user has 2 ms to read this data before it is lost. If the byte in the RFDL matches either of the bytes
programmed into the RFDLM1 or RFDLM2 registers, then the SR2.2 bit will be set to a 1 and the INT
pin will toggled low if enabled via IMR2.2. This feature allows an external microcontroller to ignore the
FDL or Fs pattern until an important event occurs.
32 of 61
DS21Q41B
The DS21Q41B also contains a 0 destuffer which is controlled via the CCR2.0 bit. In both ANSI T1.403
and TR54016, communications on the FDL follows a subset of a LAPD protocol. The LAPD protocol
states that no more than five 1s should be transmitted in a row so that the data does not resemble an
opening or closing flag (01111110) or an abort signal (11111111). If enabled via CCR2.0, the DS21Q41B
will automatically look for five 1s in a row, followed by a 0. If it finds such a pattern, it will automatically
remove the 0. If the 0 destuffer sees six or more 1s in a row followed by a 0, the 0 is not removed. The
CCR2.0 bit should always be set to a 1 when the DS21Q41B is extracting the FDL. More on how to use
the DS21Q41B in FDL applications is covered in a separate Application Note.

When the byte in the Receive FDL Register matches either of the two Receive FDL Match Registers
(RFDLM1/RFDLM2), RSR2.2 will be set to a 1 and the INT will go active if enabled via IMR2.2.
6.2 Transmit Section
The transmit section will shift out into the T1 data stream, either the FDL (in the ESF framing mode) or
the Fs bits (in the D4 framing mode) contained in the Transmit FDL register (TFDL). When a new value
is written to the TFDL, it will be multiplexed serially (LSB first) into the proper position in the outgoing
T1 data stream. After the full 8 bits have been shifted out, the DS21Q41B will signal the host
microcontroller that the buffer is empty and that more data is needed by setting the SR2.3 bit to a 1. The
INT will also toggle low if enabled via IMR2.3. The user has 2 ms (1.5 ms in SLC-96 applications) to
update the TFDL with a new value. If the TFDL is not updated, the old value in the TFDL will be
transmitted once again.
The DS21Q41B also contains a 0 stuffer which is controlled via the CCR2.4 bit. In both ANSI T1.403
and TR54016, communications on the FDL follows a subset of a LAPD protocol. The LAPD protocol
33 of 61
DS21Q41B
states that no more than five 1s should be transmitted in a row so that the data does not resemble an
opening or closing flag (01111110) or an abort signal (11111111). If enabled via CCR2.4, the DS21Q41B
will automatically look for five 1s in a row.
If it finds such a pattern, it will automatically insert a 0 after the five ones. The CCR2.4 bit should always
be set to a 1 when the DS21Q41B is inserting the FDL. More on how to use the DS21Q41B in FDL
applications is covered in a separate Application Note.

7.0 SIGNALING OPERATION
The robbed bit signaling bits in embedded in the T1 stream can be extracted from the receive stream and
inserted into the transmit stream by the DS21Q41B. There is a set of 12 registers for the receive side
(RS1 to RS12) and 12 registers on the transmit side (TS1 to TS12). The signaling registers are detailed
below. The CCR1.5 bit is used to control the robbed signaling bits as they appear at RSER. If CCR1.5 is
set to 0, then the robbed signaling bits will appear at RSER in their proper position as they are received. If
CCR1.5 is set to a 1, then the robbed signaling bit positions will be forced to a 1 at RSER.

Signaling Bit A in Channel 1
Each Receive Signaling Register (RS1 to RS12) reports the incoming robbed bit signaling from eight
DS0 channels. In the ESF framing mode, there can be up to four signaling bits per channel (A, B, C, and
D). In the D4 framing mode, there are only two signaling bits per channel (A and B). In the D4 framing
mode, the DS21Q41B will replace the C and D signaling bit positions with the A and B signaling bits
from the previous multiframe. Hence, whether the DS21Q41B is operated in either framing mode, the
user needs only to retrieve the signaling bits every 3 ms. The bits in the Receive Signaling Registers are
updated on multiframe boundaries in both framing modes so the user can utilize the Receive Multiframe
Interrupt in the Receive Status Register 2 (SR2.7) to know when to retrieve the signaling bits. The
Receive Signaling Registers are frozen and not updated during a loss of sync condition (SR1.0=1). They
will contain the most recent signaling information before the “OOF” occurred.

Signaling Bit A in Channel 1
Each Transmit Signaling Register (TS1 to TS12) contains the Robbed Bit signaling for eight DS0
channels that will be inserted into the outgoing stream if enabled to do so via TCR1.4. In the ESF framing
mode, there can be up to four signaling bits per channel (A, B, C, and D). On multiframe boundaries, the
DS21Q41B will load the values present in the Transmit Signaling Register into an outgoing signaling
shift register that is internal to the device. The user can utilize the Transmit Multiframe Interrupt in Status
Register 2 (SR2.6) to know when to update the signaling bits. In the ESF framing mode, the interrupt will
come every 3 ms and the user has a full 3 ms to update the TSRs. In the D4 framing mode, there are only
two framing bits per channel (A and B). However in the D4 framing mode, the DS21Q41B uses the C and
D-bit positions as the A and B bit positions for the next multiframe. The DS21Q41B will load the values
in the TSRs into the outgoing shift register every other D4 multiframe.
8.0 SPECIAL TRANSMIT SIDE REGISTERS
There is a set of seven registers in the DS21Q41B that can be used to custom tailor the data that is to be
transmitted onto the T1 line, on a channel by channel basis. Each of the 24 T1 channels can be either
forced to be transparent or to have a user defined idle code inserted into them. Each of these special
registers is defined below.

Each of the bit positions in the Transmit Transparency Registers (TTR1/TTR2/TTR3) represent a DS0
channel in the outgoing frame. When these bits are set to a 1, the corresponding channel is transparent (or
clear). If a DS0 is programmed to be clear, no robbed bit signaling will be inserted nor will the channel
have Bit 7 stuffing performed. However, in the D4 framing mode, bit 2 will be overwritten by a 0 when a
Yellow Alarm is transmitted. Also the user has the option to prevent the TTR registers from determining
which channels are to have Bit 7 stuffing performed. If the TCR2.0 and TCR1.3 bits are set to 1, then all
24 T1 channels will have Bit 7 stuffing performed on them regardless of how the TTR registers are
programmed. In this manner, the TTR registers are only affecting which channels are to have robbed bit
signaling inserted into them. Please see Figure 13-9 for more details.

9.0 CLOCK BLOCKING REGISTERS
The Receive Channel Blocking Registers (RCBR1/RCBR2/RCBR3) and the Transmit Channel Blocking
Registers (TCBR1/TCBR2/TCBR3) control the RCHBLK and TCHBLK pins respectively. The
RCHBLK and TCHCLK pins are user-programmable outputs that can be forced either high or low during
individual channels. These outputs can be used to block clocks to a USART or LAPD controller in
Fractional T1 or ISDN-PRI applications. When the appropriate bits are set to a 1, the RCHBLK and
TCHCLK pins will be held high during the entire corresponding channel time. See the timing in Section
12 for an example.

DS21Q41B
10.0 ELASTIC STORES OPERATION
Each framer within the DS21Q41B contains dual two-frame (386 bits) elastic stores, one for the receive
direction, and one for the transmit direction. These elastic stores have two main purposes. First, they can
be used to rate convert the T1 data stream to 2.048 Mbps (or a multiple of 2.048 Mbps) which is the E1
rate. Secondly, they can be used to absorb the differences in frequency and phase between the T1 data
stream and an asynchronous (i.e., not frequency locked) backplane clock (which can be 1.544 MHz or
2.048 MHz ). Both elastic stores contain full controlled slip capability which is necessary for this second
purpose. The receive side elastic store can be enabled via CCR1.2 and the transmit side elastic store is
enabled via CCR1.7. The elastic stores can be forced to a known depth via the Elastic Store Reset bit
(CCR3.6). Toggling the CCR3.6 bit forces the read and write pointers into opposite frames. Both elastic
stores within the DS21Q41B are fully independent and no restrictions apply to the sourcing of the various
clocks that are applied to them. The transmit side elastic store can be enabled whether the receive elastic
store is enabled or disabled and vice versa. Also, each elastic store can interface to either a 1.544 MHz or
2.048 MHz backplane without regard to the backplane rate the other elastic store is interfacing.
10.1 Receive Side
If the receive side elastic store is enabled (CCR1.2=1), then the user must provide either a 1.544 MHz
(CCR1.3=0) or 2.048 MHz (CCR1.3=1) clock at the RSYSCLK pin. The user has the option of either
providing a frame sync at the RSYNC pin (RCR2.3=1) or having the RSYNC pin provide a pulse on
frame boundaries (RCR2.3=0). If the user wishes to obtain pulses at the frame boundary, then RCR2.4
must be set to 0, and if the user wishes to have pulses occur at the multiframe boundary, then RCR2.4
must be set to 1. The DS21Q41B will always indicate frame boundaries via the RFSYNC output whether
the elastic store is enabled or not. If the elastic store is enabled, then multiframe boundaries will be
indicated via the RMSYNC output. If the user selects to apply a 2.048 MHz clock to the SYSCLK pin,
then the data output at RSER will be forced to all 1s every fourth channel and the F-bit will be deleted.
Hence channels 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, and 29 (timeslots 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 28) will be forced to a
1. Also, in 2.048 MHz applications, the RCHBLK output will be forced high during the same channels as
the RSER pin. See Section 12 for more details. This is useful in T1 to CEPT (E1) conversion
applications. If the 386-bit elastic buffer either fills or empties, a controlled slip will occur. If the buffer
empties, then a full frame of data (193 bits) will be repeated at RSER and the SR1.4 and RIR1.3 bits will
be set to a 1. If the buffer fills, then a full frame of data will be deleted and the SR1.4 and RIR1.4 bits will
be set to a 1.
10.2 Transmit Side
The operation of the transmit elastic store is very similar to the receive side. The transmit side elastic
store is enabled via CCR1.7. A 1.544 MHz (CCR1.4=0) or 2.048 MHz (CCR1.4=1) clock can be applied
to the TSYSCLK input. If the user selects to apply a 2.048 MHz clock to the TSYSCLK pin, then the data
output at TSER will be ignored every fourth channel. Hence channels 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, and 29
(timeslots 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 28) will be ignored. The user must supply a 8 kHz frame sync pulse
to the TFSYNC input. Also, in 2.048 MHz applications the TCHBLK output will be forced high during
the channels ignored by the DS21Q41B. See Section 12 for more details. Controlled slips in the transmit
elastic store are reported in the RIR2.3 bit and the direction of the slip is reported in the RIR2.5 and
RIR2.4 bits.
10.3 Minimum Delay Synchronous SYSCLK Mode
In applications where the DS21Q41B is connected to backplanes that are frequency locked to the
recovered T1 clock (i.e., the RCLK output), the full two-frame depth of the onboard elastic stores is really
not needed. In fact, in some delay sensitive applications, the normal two-frame depth may be excessive. If
the CCR3.7 bit is set to 1, then the receive elastic store (and also the transmit elastic store if it is enabled)
will be forced to a maximum depth of 32 bits instead of the normal 386 bits. In this mode, RSYSCLK
39 of 61
DS21Q41B
and TSYSCLK must be tied together and they must be frequency locked to RCLK. All of the slip
contention logic in the DS21Q41B is disabled (since slips cannot occur). Also, since the buffer depth is
no longer two frames deep, the DS21Q41B must be set up to source either a frame pulse at the RSYNC
pin and this output must be tied to the TFSYNC input. On power-up after the RSYSCLK and TSYSCLK
signals have locked to the RCLK signal, the elastic store reset bit (CCR3.6) should be toggled from a 0 to
a 1 to insure proper operation.
11.0 RECEIVE MARK REGISTERS
The DS21Q41B has the ability to replace the incoming data, on a channel-by-channel basis with either an
idle code (7F Hex) or the digital milliwatt code which is a 8-byte repeating pattern that represents a 1 kHz
sine wave (1E/0B/0B/1E/9E/8B/8B/9E). The RCR2.7 bit will determine which code is used. Each bit in
the RMRs, represents a particular channel. If a bit is set to a one, then the receive data in that channel will
be replaced with one of the two codes. If a bit is set to 0, no replacement occurs.
