GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT5894 is an optimized four channel 3.3V line
interface unit fabricated using low power CMOS
technology. The device contains four independent E1
channels. Each channel performs the driver and receiver
functions necessary to convert bipolar signals to logical
levels and vice versa. The device requires transformers
on both receiver and transmitter sides, and supports both
balanced and unbalanced interfaces.
The device offers two distinct modes of LOS detection.
The first method, which does not require an external
clock, provides an LOS output indication signal with
thresholds and delay that comply with the ITU G.775
requirements. In the second mode, the user provides an
external clock that increases the delay for LOS
declaration and clearing. This feature provides the user
with the flexibility to implement LOS specifications that
require a delay greater than the G.775 requirements.

Receiver Notes
D The same type 1:2CT ratio transformer may be
used at the receiver input and transmitter output.
D LOSCNT (pin 45) is unconnected when LOSSEL is
logic 1, or connected to an external clock when
LOSSEL is logic 0.
D R1 and R2 are both 150W for 75W operation, or
240W for 120W operation.
Transmitter Notes
D Return loss exceeds ITU G.703 specification with
these resistors and a 1:2CT ratio input transformer.
D Return loss exceeds ETSI 300 166 specification
with a 1:2 ratio transformer.
LOS (Loss of Signal) Notes
D R3 and R4 are always 9.1W for both 75W and 120W
applications.
D LOSSEL (pin 25) is connected to logic “1” for ITU
G.775 compliant LOS delay, or to logic 0 for user
programmable additional delay.

Disabling Output Drivers
Output drivers may be individually disabled (hi-z output) by either of the following methods.
1. Either connect the transmit data inputs TXPOS
and TXNEG for the channel to be disabled to a logic 1 source (VCC), or allow them to float (inputs
have internal pull--up resistors).
2. Connect TXCLK for the channel to be disabled to
logic 0 source (Ground), and also apply data to the
TXPOS and TXNEG inputs of that channel.

XRT5894
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This device is a four channel E1 transceiver that provides
an electrical interface for 2.048Mbps applications. Its
unique architecture includes four receiver circuits that
convert ITU G.703 compliant bipolar signals to TTL
compatible logic levels. Each receiver includes a LOS
(Loss of Signal) detection circuit that may be configured
for either a fixed or a user-programmable LOS response
time delay. Similarly, in the transmit direction, four
transmitters convert TTL compatible logic levels to G.703
compatible bipolar signals. Each transmitter may be
operated either with RZ, or NRZ data types. In NRZ mode
a transmit clock is required as well. The following
description applies to any of the four receivers or
transmitters contained in the XRT5894. Therefore, the
suffix numbers for a particular channel are deleted for
simplicity. i.e. “RTIP” applies to RTIP1 through RTIP4.
specified in the ITU G.775. This is done by providing a
user-supplied clock to LOSCNT (pin 45). The “user
programmable mode” is provisioned to allow systems
designers to comply with older versions of LOS
specifications in legacy systems. It needs to be stressed
that the delay for declaration and clearing of the LOS
condition will never be less than the range specified in the
G.775 specification (10-255 pulse intervals).
The LOS detection/clearing circuitry of the XRT5894 in
“automatic” mode will detect LOS when the incoming
signal has “no transitions” i.e. when the signal level is less
than or equal to a signal level AD dB below nominal signal
level, for N consecutive pulse intervals, where 10<N<255.
The value of AD can vary between 10dB to 32dB
depending on the ones density of the incoming signal
assuming the received data has minimum permissible
ones density. Furthermore LOS detect is cleared when
the incoming signal has “transitions,” i.e. when the signal
level is greater than or equal to a signal level of AC dB
below nominal, for N consecutive pulse intervals, where
10<N<255. The value of AC can vary between 9dB to
31dB depending on the ones density of the incoming
signal assuming the received data has minimum
permissible ones density. Each pulse interval is 488ns at
E1 rates. The absolute value of AC is always smaller than
AD by at least 1dB.
Receiver Operation
A bipolar signal is transformer-coupled to the receiver
differential inputs (RTIP and RRING). The receiver is able
to tolerate up to 12dB of line loss measured at 1.024MHz.
It contains slicing circuitry that automatically samples the
incoming data at a fixed percentage (50% nominal) of the
peak signal amplitude. A precision peak detector
maintains the slicing level accuracy. The TTL compatible
receiver output data rails appear at the RXPOS and
RXNEG pins. The pulse width of this data; which is in RZ
format, is a function of the amount of the cable loss
present.
The LOS detection/clearing criteria described above is
fully compliant with G.775 LOS specification. In the “user
programmable” mode the user has the option of
extending the declaration and clearing delay (10<N<255)
by an amount which is equal to 2048 x T. T is the time
period of the clock supplied to LOSCNT (pin 45) by the
user.
Receiver Loss Of Signal Detection (LOS)
Absence of signal at any receiver input is detected by the
loss of signal (LOS) circuit. One LOS detection circuitry is
provisioned for each receiver. The LOS signal is asserted
(LOS=1) when a LOS condition is detected and is cleared
(LOS=0) when a valid input signal is restored.
Nominal signal level is defined as 2.37V peak measured
between RTIP or RRING and ground. (This voltage will
be present in 75W applications using a 1:2 CT ratio input
transformer terminated in 300W with the center tap
grounded with 0dB of cable and a 2.37V peak amplitude
transmit pulse at the cable input.)
Two modes of LOS circuit operation are supported.
These distinct modes are called “automatic” and
“user-programmable”. When LOSSEL (pin 25) is set to
logic “1”, the automatic mode is selected. In this mode the
LOS condition will be declared and cleared in full
compliance with ITU G.775 specification. When LOSSEL
is connected to logic “0”, the user-programmable delay
mode is enabled. In this mode the user has the option of
extending the delay of LOS declaration and clearing
Transmitters
This device contains four identical ITU G.703 compliant
transmitters. The output stage of each transmitter is a
differential voltage driver. External resistors need to be
connected to the primary of output transformer. This is
necessary to maintain an accurate source impedance

that ensures compliance to ETSI 300 166 return loss
requirement.
present at this pin, the transmitter detects its presence
and operates in the clocked mode. In this mode, the
transmit input should be supplied with full-width NRZ
pulses. If a clock is not present at the TXCLK input (pin is
left open), the part operates in the clockless mode. In this
mode, RZ data should be supplied to the device. Each
transmit channel of XRT5894 has a duty cycle correction
circuitry. This enables the device to produce output
bipolar pulses fully compliant with G.703 despite having
TXCLK signal with 30% to 70% duty cycle.
TTL compatible dual rail transmit data signals are
supplied to TXPOS and TXNEG inputs. The transmitter
differential outputs TTIP and TRING are connected to the
output transformer primary through series 9.1W resistors.
All the four transmitters can be operated in two distinct
modes of operation referred to as “clocked” or “clockless”
modes. The operational mode is selected automatically
based on the signal provided to TXCLK input. If a clock is

Transmitter Output Return Loss Measurements
The following measurements were made with a Wandel
and Goltermann SNA--2 Network Analyzer equipped with
an RFZ--1 75W Return Loss Bridge. A 75W to 120W
impedance matching transformer was used to make the
120W measurement. A network analyzer calibration run
subtracted out the effects of this transformer.
This configuration was used for both 75W and 120W
measurements. The only change was the termination
resistance provided by the return loss bridge.
Test Results:
Table 5 compares measured output return loss with
requirements in ETSI FINAL DRAFT prETS 300 166,
June 1993. These results show that measured return loss
is mainly determined by the characteristics of the output
transformer. This is particularly evident for the 120W load
where the measured result is better than the calculated
value.
Test Conditions:
D Output transformer ratio was 1:2.
D Transmitter series resistors (R3 and R4 in Figure 1)
were 9.1W .
D Device was powered from a 3.3V source, transmitter
was enabled, and no output data was present.

The following pictures show typical results of measurements that made over a 50 KHz to 3.5MHz frequency range.
Figure 6. 75W Return Loss Measurement
Figure 6 shows a return loss better than 20dB at low frequencies that decreases to about 12dB at 3.5MHz. Since the
source and load resistances are well--matched, the return loss degradation is due to the transformer.
Figure 7. 120W Return Loss Measurement
Figure 7 shows that for the 120W case, transformer characteristics improve return loss at lower frequencies. At 3.5 MHz,
return loss is close to the calculated 13.8dB for a 75W source terminated with 120W.

Output Transformer Selection
A 1:2 ratio transformer is recommended for both 75W and 120W operation because the transmitter, when equipped with
this device, meets both the ITU G.703 output pulse amplitude requirement and, the ETSI return loss specification.
Although a center--tapped output transformer is not required, choosing a part with a center-tapped secondary allows the
use of the same type of unit at the receiver input.
A theoretical justification for the 1:2 ratio transformer follows:
RSpos
TTIP
R3
1:n
VSpos
VO
VSneg
RL
TRING
RSneg
R4
Figure 8. Transmitter Line Driver Model
Where:
Vspos = Vsneg = 1.25V typical (Differential line driver peak output voltage swing)
Rspos = Rsneg = 0.8W typical (Differential line driver internal source resistance)
R3 = R4 = 9.1W (Differential line driver external source resistance from Figure 1)
RL = 75W or 120W (Transmitter load resistance)
n = 2 (Transformer turns ratio)
Vo = Transmitter peak output voltage (Measured across RL = 75W or RL = 120W )
Figure 9 may be converted to a single--ended model:

Where:
VS = ÷Vspos÷ + ÷Vsneg÷
RSint = RSpos + Rsneg

Where:

Therefore:

And:
Return Loss = 20 log

Table 5 contains the results of calculations made with these equations. The numbers show that output pulse amplitude
is within millivolts of the nominal values of 2.37V and 3.00V specified by ITU G.703 for 75W and 120W operation. Also,
the 1:2 ratio transformer provides an almost-perfect match for 75W operation, and return loss is well within the ETSI
specification for the 120W load.
