GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT59L91 is an optimized single-chip analog 3.3V
E1 line interface unit (LIU) fabricated using low power
CMOS technology. The LIU IC consists of both a
Transmitter and a Receiver function. The Transmitter
accepts a TTL or CMOS level signal from the Terminal
Equipment; and outputs this data to the line via bipolar
pulses that are compliant to the ITU-T G.703 pulse
template for E1. The Receiver accepts an attenuated
bipolar line signal (from the remote terminal equipment)
and outputs this data to the (near-end) terminal equipment via CMOS level signals.
The receiver input can be transformer or capacitivelycoupled to the line. The receiver input is transformercoupled to the line, using the 2:1 step-down transformer. The transmitter is coupled to the line using a
1:2 step-up transformer. This same configuration is
applicable for both balanced (120W ) and unbalanced
(75W ) interfaces.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1.1
The XRT59L91 device is a single channel E1 transceiver that provides an electrical interface for
2.048Mbps applications. XRT59L91 includes a receive
circuit that converts an ITU-T G.703 compliant bipolar
signal into a TTL compatible logic levels. Each receiver
also includes an LOS (Loss of Signal) detection circuit.
Similarly, in the Transmit Direction, the Transmitter
converts TTL compatible logic levels into a G.703
compatible bipolar signal. The Transmitter may be
operated in either a “Clocked” or “Clockless” Mode.
The Transmit Input Interface accepts either “clocked” or
“clockless” data from the Terminal Equipment. The
manner in which the Terminal Equipment should apply
data to the XRT59L91 device depends upon whether the
device is being operated in the “clocked” or “clockless”
mode.
1.2.1 Operating the Transmitter in the Clocked
Mode
The user can configure the XRT59L91 device to operate
in the “Clocked” mode by simply applying a 2.048MHz
clock signal to the “TxClk” input pin. The XRT59L91
device contains detectioncircuitry that sense activity on
the “TxClk” line. If this circuit senses activity on the
“TxClk” line, then the XRT59L91 will automatically be
operating in the “Clocked” Mode.
The XRT59L91 device consists of both a Transmit
Section and a Receive Section; each of these sections
will be discussed in detail below.
1.0
The Transmit Section
In general, the purpose of the “Transmit Section”
(within the XRT59L91 device) is to accept TTL/CMOS
level digital data (from the Terminal Equipment), and to
encode it into a format such that it can:
In the Clocked Mode, a 2.048 mHz clock should be
applied toTxClk input pin and NRZ data at the TxPOS
and TxNEG input pins. The “Transmit Input Interface”
circuit will sample the data, at the TxPOS and TxNEG
input pins, upon the falling edge of TxClk, as illustrated
below.
1. Be efficiently transmitted over coaxial- or twistedpair cable at the E1 data rate; and
2. Be reliably received by the Remote Terminal
Equipment at the other end of the E1 data link.
3. Comply with the ITU-T G.703 pulse template
requirements, for E1 applications.
The circuitry that the Transmit Section (within the
XRT59L91 device) uses to accomplish this goal is
discussed below. The Transmit Section of the
XRT59L91 device consists of the following blocks:

Figure 2. Illustration on how the XRT59L91 Device Samples the data on the
TXPOS and TXNEG input pins
In general, if the XRT59L91 device samples a “1” on the
TxPOS input pin, then the “Transmit Section” of the
device will ultimately generate a positive polarity pulse
via the TTIP and TRing output pins (across a 1:2
transformer). Conversely, if the XRT59L91 device
samples a “1” on the “TxNEG” input pin, then the
“Transmit Section” of the device will ultimately generate
a negative polarity pulse via the TTIP and TRing output
pins (across a 1:2 transformer).
1.2.1 Operating the Transmitter in the
“Clockless” Mode
The user can configure the XRT59L91 device to operate in the “Clockless” mode by doing the following:
l
Not applying a clock signal to the TXClk input,
and either pulling this pin to VDD or letting it float.
By applying RZ (Return to Zero) data to the
TxPOS and TxNEG input pins, as illustrated
below.

1.3
The Pulse Shaping Circuit
The purpose of the “Transmit Pulse Shaping” circuit is
to generate “Transmit Output” pulses that comply with
the ITU-T G.703 Pulse Template Requirements for E1
Applications.
Not apply a signal on the “TxClk” line.
When applying a pulse (to either the TxPOS or
TxNEG input pin), apply an RZ pulse to the
appropriate input pin. This RZ pulse should only
have a width of one-half the bit-period. Addition,
the RZ pulse should occupy only the first half of
the bit-period. The TxPOS and TxNEG input pins
must be at 0V, during the second half of every bitperiod.
An illustration of the “ITU-T G.703 Pulse Template
Requirements” is presented below in Figure 4.

1.2
With input signal as described above, the XRT59L91
device will take each mark (which is provided to it via the
“Transmit Input Interface” block, and will generate a
pulse that complies with the pulse template, presented
in Figure 4 (when measured on the secondary-side of
the Transmit Output Transformer).
Interfacing the Transmit Section of the
XRT59L91 device to the Line
ITU-T G.703 specifies that the E1 line signal can be
transmitted over coaxial cable and terminated with 75W
or transmitted over twisted-pair and terminated with
120W .
In both applications (e.g., 75W or 120W ), the user is
advised to interface the Transmitter to the Line, in the
manner as depicted in Figures 5 and 6, respectively.

Preliminary
The “Receive Equalizer” Block
After the XRT59L91 device has received the incoming
line signal, via the RTIP and RRing input pins, the first
block that this signal will pass through is the Receive
Equalizer block.
amplification (which attempts to counter the frequency-dependent loss that the line signal has experienced). By doing this, the Receive Equalizer is
attempting to restore the shape of the line signal so that
the received data can be recovered reliably.
As the line signal is transmitted from a given “Transmitting” terminal, the pulse shapes (at that location) are
basically “square”. As this line signal travels from the
“transmitting terminal” (via the coaxial cable or twisted
pair) to the receiving terminal, it will be subjected to
“frequency-dependent” loss. In other words, the higher
frequency components of the signal will be subjected
to a greater amount of attenuation than will the lower
frequency components. If this line signal travels over
reasonably long cable lengths, then the shape of the
pulses (which were originally square) will be distorted
and cause inter-symbol interference to increase.
2.3
The “Peak Detector and Slicer Block
After the incoming line signal has passed through the
Receive Equalizer block, it will be routed to the “Slicer”
block. The purpose of the “Slicer” block is to quantify
a given bit-period (or symbol) within the incoming line
signal as either a “1” or a “0”.
2.4
The “LOS Detector” Block
The LOS Detector block, within the XRT59L91 was
specifically designed to comply with the “LOS Declaration/Clearance” requirements per ITU-T G.775. As a
consequence, the XRT59L91 device will declare an
LOS Condition, (by driving the “RxLOS” output pin
“high”) if the received line signal amplitude drops to –
35dB or below. Further, the XRT59L91 device will clear
the LOS Condition if the signal amplitude rises back up
to –12dB or above. Figure 10 presents an illustration of
G.775 spec for declaring and clearing LOS.
The purpose of this block is to equalize the incoming
distorted signal, due to cable loss. In essence, the
Receive Equalizer block accomplishes this by subjecting the received line signal to “frequency-dependent”

clear the LOS indicator within 10 to 255 UI after
restoration of the incoming line signal. Figure 11
illustrates the LOS Declaration and Clearance behavior, in response to first, the “Loss of Signal” event and
then afterwards, the restoration of the signal.
The XRT59L91 device was designed to meet the ITUT G.775 specification timing requirements for declaring and clearing the LOS indicator. In particular, the
XRT59L91 device will declare LOS, between 10 and 255
UI (or E1 bit-periods) after the actual time the LOS
condition occurred. Further, the XRT59L91 device will

The “Receive Output Interface” Block
The purpose of the “Receive Output Interface” block is
to interface directly with the “Receiving Terminal
Equipment”. The “Receive Output Interface” block
outputs the data (which has been recovered from the
incoming line signal) to the “Receive Terminal Equipment” via the “RxPOS and RxNEG output pins.
RRing input pins, then the Receive Output Interface will
output a pulse at the “RxPOS” output pin.
Similarly, if the “Receive Section” of the XRT59L91
device has received a “Negative-Polarity” pulse, via
the RTIP and RRing input pins, then the Receive Output
Interface will output a pulse at the “RxNEG” output pin.
If the “Receive Section” of the XRT59L91 device has
received a “Positive-Polarity” pulse, via the RTIP and

Mode) into the XRT59L91 device via the TxPOS,
TxNEG and TxCLK input pins. This data will be
processed through the “Transmit Terminal Input Interface” and the “Pulse Shaping” circuit. Finally, this data
will be output to the line via the TTIP and TRing output
pins. Additionally, this data (which is being output via
the TTIP and TRing output pins) will be looped back into
the “Receive Equalizer” block. As a consequence, this
data will also be processed through the entire “Receive
Section” of the XRT59L91 device. After this “post-loopback” data has been processed through the “Receive
Section” it will output, to the “Near-End Receiving
Terminal Equipment” via the “RxPOS and RxNEG
output pins.
In order to support diagnostic operations, the
XRT59L91 supports the following loopback modes:
l
l
Local Loopback
Remote Loopback
Each of these loopback modes will be discussed
below.
3.1
The Local Loop-Back Mode
When the XRT59L91 device is configured to operate in
the “Local Loop-back” Mode, the XRT59L91 device will
ignore any signals that are input to the RTIP and RRing
input pins. The “Transmitting Terminal Equipment” will
transmit data (and clock, for “Clocked”

“RxPOS” and “RxNEG” output pins. Additionally, this
data will also be internally looped back to the “Transmit
Input Interface” block within the “Transmit Section”. At
this point, this data will be routed through the remainder
of the “Transmit Section” of the XRT59L91 device and
will be transmitted out onto the line via the “TTIP” and
“TRing” output pins.
The Remote Loop Back Mode
When the XRT59L91 device is configured to operate in
the “Remote Loop-back” Mode, the XRT59L91 device
will ignore any signals that are input to the TxPOS and
TxNEG input pins. The XRT59L91 device will receive
the incoming line signals, via the RTIP and RRing input
pins. This data will be processed through the entire
Receive Section (within the XRT59L91) and will output
to the “Receive Terminal Equipment” via the

Method 1:
Connect the Transmit Data input pins (e.g., TxPOS
and TxNEG) to a logic “1”; or allow them to float.
(These input pins have an internal “pull-up” resistor).
4.0 Shutting off the Transmitter
The XRT59L91 device permits the user to shut the
“Transmit Driver” within the Transmit Section of the
chip. This feature can be useful for system redundancy
design considerations or during diagnostic testing.
The user can activate this feature by either of the
following ways.
Method 2:
Connect the “TxClk” input pin to a logic “0” (e.g., GND)
and continue to apply data via the TxPOS and TxNEG
input pins.
