LXT6234 E-Rate Multiplexer Datasheet The LXT6234 E-Rate Multiplexer is a single-chip solution for multiplexing four tributary channels into a single high speed data stream and for demultiplexing a high speed data stream back to four tributary channels. All of the necessary circuitry is integrated into the LXT6234 ERate Multiplexer; there is no need for an external framing device. The LXT6234 E-Rate Multiplexer conforms to both the (ITU) G.742 and (ITU) G.751 multiplexing formats defined by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU; formerly known as CCITT): G.742 recommendation for multiplexing four E1 channels into an E2 frame; and the G.751 recommendation for multiplexing four E2 channels into an E3 frame. The LXT6234 E-Rate Multiplexer also encodes and decodes HDB3 zero suppression line coding used on E1, E2, and E3 signals. The coder and decoder input/output pins are externally accessible, allowing either HDB3 or NRZ (non-return-to-zero) I/O to the multiplexer. The LXT6234 E-Rate Multiplexer can also serve as a five channel HDB3 coder and decoder.

Datasheet E-Rate Multiplexer — LXT6234 3.0 Functional Description The LXT6234 E-Rate Multiplexer consists of a multiplexer block, a demultiplexer block, five HDB3 decoders, and five HDB3 encoders. If the HDB3 codecs are used, the signal flow would be as follows: Multiplexer: Four tributaries of data feed HDB3 decoders one through four. The NRZ outputs of the decoders are connected to the multiplexer tributary inputs. Within the multiplexer, the justification or stuffing for each tributary is determined; the frame word is added; and the high speed NRZ data sent out. The multiplexer output is connected to HDB3 encoder five where it is encoded and sent out as Positive Data Output (MHDPO) and Negative Data Output (MHDNO). Demultiplexer: High speed encoded data feeds the HDB3 decoder five and is output as NRZ data. The decoder output is connected to the demultiplexer input where it enters both the frame search circuitry and the demultiplexing circuitry. Once the frame is detected, the NRZ data is demultiplexed into the four tributaries and the justification is removed. Tributary data is then sent out in NRZ format. These tributary outputs, both Clock Output (DLCOx) and NRZ Output (DLNRZOx), are connected to HDB3 encoders one through four, encoded, and output as Positive Data (MHDPO) and Negative Data (MHDNO). 3.1 Frame Format The multiplexer and demultiplexer share the Mode Select (MODE) control pin. When MODE is low, the multiplexer conforms to the ITU G.742 format for four-E1 to E2 (Figure 4). An E2 frame is 848 bits long, with 205 data bits and one justification bit for each E1 tributary. When MODE is high, the multiplexer conforms to the ITU G.751 format for four-E2 to E3 (Figure 5). This E3 frame is 1536 bits long, with 377 data bits and one justification bit for each E2 tributary. In both E2 and E3 formats, there are two flag bits per frame: the AIS bit and the National bit. The four justification bits may also be used as additional flag bits. 3.2 HDB3 Codecs Five HDB3 codecs are included within the LXT6234 to allow easy integration with a wide range of line interface circuits. There are four low speed codecs for the tributary streams and one high speed codec to process the high speed output data. All five codecs are identical and all I/O pins are externally accessible for each device. All codecs can be operated at the maximum operating speed if the chip is used as a stand alone HDB3 transcoder. Note that the "low speed" decoders share a clock with the multiplexer tributary clocks. Each HDB3 decoder is provided with Positive Data, Negative Data, and clock; they decode the data into a single NRZ bit stream. The HDB3 encoders are provided with NRZ data and clock; they produce the Positive Data and Negative Data bit streams. Datasheet 11 LXT6234— E-Rate Multiplexer 3.3 HDB3 Decoder Alarms A Bipolar Violation Alarm (MLBPVx, DHBPV) associated with each HDB3 decoder indicate detection of a coding violation error within the data. Coding violations include Bipolar Violations, a string of more than four zeros in a row, or encoding violations. The active high alarm is one clock cycle in duration. 3.4 Multiplexer The multiplexer formats four low speed NRZ tributaries into a single high speed bit stream (Figure 3). Tributary data rates are synchronized via internal elastic store memories using a positive justification process as specified in the ITU recommendations. Figure 3. Multiplexer Side Block Diagram MLDPI[1:4] MLDNI[1:4] HDB3 Decoder #[1:4] MLNRZ0[1:4] MLBPV[1:4] MESA[1:4] MLCK[1:4] MLFAIS[1:4] Elastic Store MLNRZI[1:4] Multiplexer MHNRZO And Timing Control LREFCK MNAT MAIS AUXI[1:4] MSYNC MHMUXC MHNRZI MHHDB3C HDB3 Encoder #5 MHDPO MHDNO Data enters a first-in/first-out (FIFO) elastic store block. The FIFO receives the data along with the tributary clock and a pointer generated from the timing control. The output of the elastic store block is clocked by the tributary enable pulses from the timing control, and the data is finally processed by the multiplexer. Processing normally places the output data bit into the high speed bit stream during the tributary enable. An once-per-frame exception occurs during justification. During this event the location of the pointer in the FIFO is determined and a decision made for justification. If the elastic store is less than half full, a justification bit (used for the auxiliary flag channels) is placed in the bit stream and the MESAx pin is set high. When the elastic store becomes over half full, a tributary bit is clocked out from the FIFO, placed in the bit stream, and the MESAx pin set low. There are three justification indicators spread throughout the frame to show the status of the justification bit to the demultiplexer. Finally, the National and AIS bits are added at the beginning of each frame, and the bit stream is clocked out on MHNRZO. The multiplexer timing control receives a high speed clock and generates the frame structure and timing control according to the bit length of each frame. This is 848 bits for an E2 frame, and 1536 bits for an E3 frame. MODE provides for either E2 or E3 selection. 12 Datasheet E-Rate Multiplexer — LXT6234 In case of tributary transmission failure or the loss of a signal, tributary data can be forced to an all 1’s state. For each tributary this function is controlled at the MLFAISx pin. Figure 4.

At the appropriate time the bit values of the MNAT and MAIS inputs are inserted into the frame. There are also four auxiliary flag channels available (AUXIx) that use the justification bit. These flags are placed in the frame approximately 40% of the time, depending on the ratio of the tributary clock to the multiplexer clock. A high on MESAx indicates that the AUXIx flag will be inserted into the current frame. Datasheet 13 LXT6234— E-Rate Multiplexer 3.4.2 Multiplexer Alarms An indicator bit (MESAx) for each tributary monitors the status of the elastic store memory. This pin provides the justification status of the tributary. Under normal conditions this pin toggles at the frame rate with a 40% duty cycle. Large variation of the duty cycle indicates the tributary clock frequency is out of specification. Loss of clock would cause MESA to assume a rail value. For use as a frequency alarm this signal should be filtered by a single-pole RC filter far below the frame frequency, and connected to a pair of voltage comparators. The unfiltered alarm signal can be used to clock the auxiliary data channel inputs. 3.5 Demultiplexer Data entering the demultiplexer is sent to both the demultiplexing block and the framer. The framer, using a Sieve algorithm, examines the incoming data to find the framing word. A frame is declared found when three passes show the frame word has been found at the same location within the frame. The timing module is then synchronized to the incoming data frame and the Frame Loss Alarm turns off. Valid tributary data can be extracted after the frame is found. For each tributary, three justification indicator bits are stored. A majority-rule determination decides whether the justification bit is sent as tributary data (with clock) or as an auxiliary bit (with no clock). The DNAT and DAIS flag bits are updated for each frame and sent to their dedicated pins. The auxiliary flag bits AUXOx are updated when they are available on the frame. 3.5.1 Demultiplexer Alarms The demultiplexer has two active-high alarms: Frame Loss (FLOS), and Demultiplexer Input AIS Detect (DHAISD). • FLOS is active at power-up and clears after three consecutive frames are detected. During normal operation FLOS becomes active after missing four consecutive frames. • DHAISD activates after 768 consecutive 1’s pass through the high speed NRZ data stream. DHAISD will occasionally glitch if four tributaries are all 1’s and the justification of all four channels is identical. This glitch is filtered with a single-pole RC filter. 14 Datasheet E-Rate Multiplexer — LXT6234 . Figure 6.

(Both positive and negative RZ data.) 5.1.2 LXT6234, E1/E2 Stage • The LXT6234 may interface with either HDB3 or non-HDB3 coded signals. Data from an LIU that does not perform HDB3 decoding must be connected to the HDB3 inputs on the LXT6234. These are the clock (MLCKx) and decoder data input signals (both positive MLDPx and negative - MLDNx). When receiving data from an LIU which does perform HDB3 decoding, the NRZ data is connected to the MLNRZx input and the clock connects to the MLCKx in on the LXT6234 • The four tributaries are interleaved into a single, intermediary E2 rate data stream. An on-board crystal oscillator drives the data output frequency from the mux at the E2 rate of 8.448 MHz. A bit stuffing algorithm implemented in the LXT6234 ensures tributary rate integrity at the output. The LXT6234 contains elastic store buffers to manage bit-stuffing process. • The NRZ data is sent to a tributary of the E-Rate Multiplexer, stage E2/E3. 1. Datasheet If the HDB3 decoder is on the line interface unit (LIU). 17 LXT6234— E-Rate Multiplexer 5.1.3 LXT6234, E3 Stage • The multiplexer portion of the LXT6234 interleaves four asynchronous E2 rate NRZ data streams into a single E3 data stream. Depending on the configuration, either an on-board crystal oscillator or an external reference clock drives the data output frequency from the mux at the rate of 34.368 Mbps. The bit stuffing algorithm implemented in the LXT6234 ensures tributary rate integrity at the output. • If the LIU provides HDB3 encoding, then the NRZ data and clock are passed to the E3 line interface. • If the LIU does not provide HDB3 encoding, then encoding is done by the LXT6234 and data is output as positive and negative data. An activity monitor provides tributary fail notification when necessary. See Application Note 9501 for additional information. 18 Datasheet E-Rate Multiplexer — LXT6234 6.0 Test Specifications Note: Minimum and maximum values in Tables 3 through 9 and Figure 8 through Figure 12 represent the performance specifications of the LXT6234 E-Rate Multiplexer and are guaranteed by test except, where noted, by design.
