MT8941B
Data Sheet
Functional Description
The MT8941B is a dual digital phase-locked loop providing the timing and synchronization signals to the interface
circuits for T1 and CEPT (30+2) Primary Multiplex Digital Transmission links. As shown in the functional block
diagram (see Figure 1), the MT8941B has two digital phase-locked loops (DPLLs), associated output controls and
the mode selection logic circuits. The two DPLLs, although similar in principle, operate independently to provide T1
(1.544 MHz) and CEPT (2.048 MHz) transmission clocks and ST-BUS timing signals.
The principle of operation behind the two DPLLs is shown in Figure 3. A master clock is divided down to 8 kHz
where it is compared with the 8 kHz input, and depending on the output of the phase comparison, the master clock
frequency is corrected.

Figure 3 - DPLL Principle
The MT8941B achieves the frequency correction in both directions by using three methods; speed-up, slow-down
and no-correction.
As shown in Figure 4, the falling edge of the 8 kHz input signal (C8Kb for DPLL #2 or F0i for DPLL # 1) is used to
sample the internally generated 8 kHz clock and the correction signal (CS) once in every frame (125 µs). If the
sampled CS is “1”, then the DPLL makes a speed-up or slow-down correction depending upon the sampled value
of the internal 8 kHz signal. A sampled ”0” or “1” causes the frequency correction circuit to respectively stretch or
shrink the master clock by half a period at one instant in the frame. If the sampled CS is “0”, then the DPLL makes
no correction on the master clock input. Note that since the internal 8 kHz signal and the CS signal are derived from
the master clock, a correction will cause both clocks to stretch or shrink simultaneously by an amount equal to half
the period of the master clock.
Once in synchronization, the falling edge of the reference signal (C8Kb or F0i) will be aligned with either the falling
or the rising edge of CS. It is aligned with the rising edge of CS when the reference signal is slower than the internal
8 kHz signal. On the other hand, the falling edge of the reference signal will be aligned with the falling edge of CS
if the reference signal is faster than the internal 8 kHz signal.

where, TP12 is the 12.352 MHz master clock oscillator period

for DPLL #2.

Data Sheet
Input-to-Output Phase Relationship
The no-correction window size is 324 ns for DPLL #1 and 32 µs for DPLL #2. It is possible for the relative phase of
the reference signal to swing inside the no-correction window depending on its jitter and the relative drift of the
master clock. As a result, the phase relationship between the input signal and the output clocks (and frame pulse in
case of DPLL #2) may vary up to a maximum of window size. This situation is illustrated in Figure 4. The maximum
phase variation for DPLL #1 is 324 ns and for DPLL #2 it is 32 µs. However, this phase difference can be absorbed
by the input jitter buffer of Zarlink’s T1/CEPT devices.
The no-correction window acts as a filter for low frequency jitter and wander since the DPLL does not track the
reference signal inside it. The size of the no-correction window is less than or equal to the size of the input jitter
buffer on the T1 and CEPT devices to guarantee that no slip will occur in the received T1/CEPT frame.
The circuit will remain in synchronization as long as the input frequency is within the lock-in range of the DPLLs
(refer to the section on “Jitter Performance and Lock-in Range” for further details). The lock-in range is wide enough
to meet the CCITT line rate specification (1.544 MHz ±32 ppm and 2.048 MHz ±50 ppm) for the High Capacity
Terrestrial Digital Service.
The phase sampling is done once in a frame (8 kHz) for each DPLL. The divisions are set at 8 and 193 for DPLL #1,
which locks to the falling edge of the input at 8 kHz to generate T1 (1.544 MHz) clock. For DPLL #2, the divisions
are set at 8 and 256 to provide the CEPT/ST-BUS clock at 2.048 MHz synchronized to the falling edge of the input
signal (8 kHz). The master clock source is specified to be 12.352 MHz for DPLL #1 and 16.384 MHz for DPLL #2
over the entire temperature range of operation.
The inputs MS0 to MS3 are used to select the operating mode of the MT8941B, see Tables 1 to 4. All the outputs
are controlled to the high impedance condition by their respective enable controls. The uncommitted NAND gate is
available for use in applications involving Zarlink’s MT8976/ MH89760 (T1 Interfaces) and MT8979/MH89790
(CEPT Interfaces).
Modes of Operation
The operation of the MT8941B is categorized into major modes and minor modes. The major modes are defined for
both DPLLs by the mode select pins MS0 and MS1. The minor modes are selected by pins MS2 and MS3 and are
applicable only to DPLL #2. There are no minor modes for DPLL #1.
Major modes of DPLL #1
DPLL #1 can be operated in three major modes as selected by MS0 and MS1 (Table 1). When MS1 is LOW, it is in
NORMAL mode, which provides a T1 (1.544 MHz) clock signal locked to the falling edge of the input frame pulse
F0i (8 kHz). DPLL #1 requires a master clock input of 12.352 MHz (C12i). In the second and third major modes
(MS1 is HIGH), DPLL #1 is set to DIVIDE an external 1.544 MHz or 2.048 MHz signal applied at CVb (pin 21). The
division can be set by MS0 to be either 193 (LOW) or 256 (HIGH). In these modes, the 8 kHz output at C8Kb is
connected internally to DPLL #2, which operates in SINGLE CLOCK mode.
Major modes of DPLL #2
There are four major modes for DPLL #2 selectable by MS0 and MS1, as shown in Table 2. In all these modes
DPLL #2 provides the CEPT PCM30 timing, and the ST-BUS clock and framing signals.
In NORMAL mode, DPLL #2 provides the CEPT/ST-BUS compatible timing signals locked to the falling edge of the
8 kHz input signal (C8Kb). These signals are 4.096 MHz (C4o and C4b) and 2.048 MHz (C2o and C2o) clocks, and
the 8 kHz frame pulse (F0b) derived from the 16.384 MHz master clock. This mode can be the same as the FREERUN mode if the C8Kb pin is tied to VDD or VSS.

Functional Description
Table 3 - Minor Modes of DPLL #2
In FREE-RUN mode, DPLL #2 generates the stand-alone CEPT and ST-BUS timing and framing signals with no
external inputs except the master clock set at 16.384 MHz. The DPLL makes no correction in this configuration and
provides the timing signals without any jitter.
The operation of DPLL #2 in SINGLE CLOCK-1 mode is identical to SINGLE CLOCK-2 mode, providing the CEPT
and ST-BUS compatible timing signals synchronized to the internal 8 kHz signal obtained from DPLL#1 in DIVIDE
mode. When SINGLE CLOCK-1 mode is selected for DPLL #2, it automatically selects the DIVIDE-1 mode for
DPLL #1, and thus, an external 1.544 MHz clock signal applied at CVb (pin 21) is divided by DPLL #1 to generate
the internal signal at 8 kHz on to which DPLL #2 locks. Similarly when SINGLE CLOCK-2 mode is selected, DPLL
#1 is in DIVIDE-2 mode, with an external signal of 2.048 MHz providing the internal 8 kHz signal to DPLL #2. In
both these modes, this internal signal is available on C8Kb (pin 10) and DPLL #2 locks to the falling edge to provide
the CEPT and ST-BUS compatible timing signals. This is in contrast to the Normal mode where these timing signals
are synchronized with the falling edge of the 8 kHz signal on C8Kb.
Minor modes of DPLL #2
The minor modes for DPLL #2 depends upon the status of the mode select bits MS2 and MS3 (pins 7 and 17).

Table 4 - Summary of Modes of Operation - DPLL #1 and #2
When MS3 is HIGH, DPLL #2 operates in any of the major modes selected by MS0 and MS1. When MS3 is LOW,
it overrides the major mode selected and DPLL#2 accepts an external clock of 4.096 MHz on C4b (pin 13) to
provide the 2.048 MHz clocks (C2o and C2o) and the 8 kHz frame pulse (F0b) compatible with the ST-BUS format.
The mode select bit MS2 controls the direction of the signal on F0b (pin 6).
When MS2 is LOW, the F0b pin is an 8 kHz frame pulse input. This input is effective only when MS3 is also LOW
and pin C4b is fed by a 4.096 MHz clock, which has a proper phase relationship with the signal on F0b (refer Figure
18). Otherwise, the input on pin F0b will have no bearing on the operation of DPLL #2, unless it is in FREE-RUN
mode as selected by MS0 and MS1. In FREE-RUN mode, the input on F0b is treated the same way as the C8Kb
input is in NORMAL mode. The frequency of the signal on F0b should be 16 kHz for DPLL #2 to lock and generate
the ST-BUS compatible clocks at 4.096 MHz and 2.048 MHz.

Table 4 summarizes the modes of the two DPLL. It should be noted that each of the major modes selected for DPLL
#2 can have any of the minor modes, although some of the combinations are functionally similar. The required
operation of both DPLL #1 and DPLL #2 must be considered when determining MS0-MS3.

Table 5 - Functions of the Bidirectional Signals in Each Mode
The direction and frequency of each of the bidirectional signals are listed in Table 5 for each of the given modes in
Table 4.
Jitter Performance and Lock-in Range
The output jitter of a DPLL is composed of the intrinsic jitter, measured when no jitter is present at the input, and the
output jitter resulting from jitter on the input signal. The spectrum of the intrinsic jitter for both DPLLs of the
MT8941B is shown in Figure 5. The typical peak-to-peak value for this jitter is 0.07UI. The transfer function, which
is the ratio of the output jitter to the input jitter (both measured at a particular frequency), is shown in Figure 6 for
DPLL #1 and Figure 7 for DPLL #2. The transfer function is measured when the peak-to-peak amplitude of the
sinusoidal input jitter conforms to the following:
10 Hz - 100 Hz
: 13.6 µs
100 Hz - 10 kHz
: 20 dB/decade roll-off
> 10 kHz
: 97.2 ns
The ability of a DPLL to phase-lock the input signal to the reference signal and to remain locked depends upon its
lock-in range. The lock-in range of the DPLL is specified in terms of the maximum frequency variation in the 8 kHz
reference signal. It is also directly affected by the oscillator frequency tolerance. Table 6 lists different values for the
lock-in range and the corresponding oscillator frequency tolerance for DPLL #1 and DPLL #2. The smaller the
tolerance value, the larger the lock-in range.

Data Sheet
The T1 and CEPT standards specify that, for free running equipment, the output clock tolerance must be less than
or equal to ±32ppm and ±50ppm respectively. This requirement restricts the oscillators of DPLL #1 and DPLL #2
to have maximum tolerances of ±32ppm and ±50ppm respectively.

However, if DPLL #1 and DPLL #2 are daisy-chained as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the output clock tolerance of
DPLL #1 will be equal to that of the DPLL #2 oscillator when DPLL #2 is free-running. In this case, the oscillator
tolerance of DPLL #1 has no impact on its output clock tolerance. For this reason, it is recommended to use a
±32 ppm oscillator for DPLL #2 and a ±100 ppm oscillator for DPLL #1.

MT8941B
Data Sheet
Besides the improved jitter performance, the MT8941B differs from the MT8940 in five other areas:
1. Input pins on the MT8941B do not incorporate internal pull-up or pull-down resistors. In addition, the output configuration of the bidirectional C8Kb pin has been converted from an open drain output to a Totem-pole output.
2. The MT8941B includes a no-correction window to filter out low frequency jitter and wander as illustrated in Figure 4. Consequently, there is no constant phase relationship between reference signal F0i of DPLL # 1 or C8Kb
of DPLL #2 and the output clocks of DPLL #1 or DPLL #2. Figure 4 shows the new phase relationship between
C8Kb and the DPLL #2 output clocks. Figure 8 illustrates an application where the MT8941B cannot replace the
MT8940 and suggests an alternative solution.
3. The MT8941B must be reset after power-up in order to guarantee proper operation, which is not the case for the
MT8940.
4. For the MT8941B, DPLL #2 locks to the falling edge of the C8Kb reference signal. DPLL#2 of the MT8940
locks on to the rising edge of C8Kb.
5. While the MT8940 is available only in a 24 pin plastic DIP, the MT8941B has an additional 28 pin PLCC package
option.
Applications
The following figures illustrate how the MT8941B can be used in a minimum component count approach in
providing the timing and synchronization signals for the Zarlink T1 or CEPT interfaces, and the ST-BUS. The
hardware selectable modes and the independent control over each PLL adds flexibility to the interface circuits. It
can be easily reconfigured to provide the timing and control signals for both the master and slave ends of the link.
Synchronization and Timing Signals for the T1 Transmission Link
Figures 9 and 10 show examples of how to generate the timing signals for the master and slave ends of a T1 link.
At the master end of the link (Figure 9), DPLL #2 is the source of the ST-BUS signals derived from the crystal clock.
The frame pulse output is looped back to DPLL #1 (in NORMAL mode), which locks to it to generate the T1 line
clock. The timing relationship between the 1.544 MHz T1 clock and the 2.048 MHz ST-BUS clock meets the
requirements of the MH89760/760B. The crystal clock at 12.352 MHz is used by DPLL #1 to generate the 1.544
MHz clock, while DPLL #2 (in FREE-RUN mode) uses the 16.384 MHz crystal oscillator to generate the ST-BUS
clocks for system timing. The generated ST-BUS signals can be used to synchronize the system and the switching
equipment at the master end.

Figure 11 - Synchronization at the Master End of the CEPT Digital Transmission Link
At the slave end of the link (Figure 10) both the DPLLs are in NORMAL mode, with DPLL #2 providing the ST-BUS
timing signals locked to the 8 kHz frame pulse (E8Ko) extracted from the received signal on the T1 line. The
regenerated frame pulse is looped back to DPLL #1 to provide the T1 line clock, which is the same as the master
end.
The 12.352 MHz and 16.384 MHz crystal clock sources are necessary for DPLL #1 and #2, respectively.
Synchronization and Timing Signals for the CEPT Transmission Link
The MT8941B can be used to provide the timing and synchronization signals for the MH89790/790B, Zarlink’s
CEPT (30+2) Digital Trunk Interface Hybrid. Since the operational frequencies of the ST-BUS and the CEPT
primary multiplex digital trunk are the same, only DPLL #2 is required.

Figure 12 - Synchronization at the Slave End of the CEPT Digital Transmission Link
Figures 11 and 12 show how the MT8941B can be used to synchronize the ST-BUS to the CEPT transmission link
at the master and slave ends.
Generation of ST-BUS Timing Signals
The MT8941B can source the properly formatted ST-BUS timing and control signals with no external inputs except
the crystal clock. This can be used as the standard timing source for ST-BUS systems or any other system with
similar clock requirements.
Figure 13 shows two such applications using DPLL #2. In one case, the MT8941B is in FREE-RUN mode with an
oscillator input of 16.384 MHz. In the other case, it is in NORMAL mode with the C8Kb input tied to VDD. For these
applications, DPLL #2 does not make any corrections and therefore, the output signals are free from jitter. DPLL #1
is completely free.
