BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION
The DART is designed to send and receive E3 and DS3 signals across coaxial cables. In addition to the basic
receiver, clock recovery and transmitter functions the DART has several additional functions which increase its
usefulness in designs. The additional functions are encoder/decoder (optional use), PRBS generator, PRBS
analyzer, AIS generator, Loss of Signal detection, three different loopbacks, dejitter PLL (in conjunction with an
external VCXO) and a 52-bit dejitter buffer. The latter two optional functions are especially useful for repeaters
or when performing loop timing.
Due to the complexity of the DART, Figure 1 shows a simplified block diagram which does not include the dejitter PLL/dejitter buffer paths. The figure shows the device operation when the dejitter circuits are not being
used.
Figure 2 shows the receive section of the DART, which includes the terminal side dejitter circuits. The dejitter
PLL can be used independent of the dejitter buffer when in the receive path. Received data can be either
encoded NRZ or unencoded PN rail data. The PRBS analyzer output is valid in all modes as are the CV and
EXZ signals.
Figure 3 shows the transmit section of the DART, which includes the dejitter circuits. Transmit data can be
either unencoded NRZ or encoded PN rail data. The dejitter PLL cannot be used independent of the dejitter
buffer when in the transmit path.
Comparing Figures 2 and 3 we see that the dejitter buffer can be used in either the receive or transmit direction
with either NRZ or PN data.
In the receive direction the FIFO will contain the decoded-one-bit NRZ data and any code violations (CVs) that
occur for CODECDIS high. The CV should be aligned with the data bit that generated the coding violation.
When CODECDIS is low the FIFO contains the encoded PN data from the receiver.
The dejitter PLL can be used in the receiver path without using the dejitter FIFO. The FIFO is gated off in this
mode. The dejittered clock will be available at the VCXO output. The receive terminal side outputs will be the
normal, jittered outputs that are outputs when the dejitter circuits are not used.
In the transmit direction the FIFO will contain both TP and TN data. In the NRZ mode the TN input must be tied
low as the FIFO always accepts TP and TN data when the DART is in the transmit dejitter mode.
Figures 4 through 9 illustrate the various data paths for the four different dejitter modes. Tables 1 and 2 show
the control pin settings for the various modes of operation.

RECEIVER FUNCTIONS
Adaptive Equalizer/AGC
The Adaptive Equalizer/AGC block in the DART receiver is used to recover CMOS level PN rail data from the
bipolar B3ZS (or HDB3) encoded input pulses. The AGC in the DART has a dynamic range of 30 dB (35 mV to
1.1 V). Adaptive equalization is included to restore the integrity of the signal after it has been attenuated by the
frequency-dependent loss of up to 900 feet of coaxial cable (1300 feet for E3). The buffered, equalized and
AGC’d differential receiver signals are provided as outputs on the EYEP and EYEN pins. Internally, this signal
is sliced at approximately fifty percent of the peak voltage to generate CMOS-level P and N data.
Differential inputs DI1 and DI2 are provided to allow optimum performance of the device in noisy environments. Alternatively, single-ended operation can be used in less critical environments or where the use of a
transformer is not desired (the input signal can be AC-coupled via a capacitor). When the differential mode is
used, the peak AC voltage measured between DI1 and DI2 is a maximum magnitude of 1.1 volts. For singleended operation, the voltage measured at DI1 (DI2) relative to the DC bias voltage at DI2 (DI1) is a maximum
of ±1.1 peak volts. Since the DART has a sensitive receiver, the 4 dB attenuator shown in Figures 31 and 35
must be used. For input levels larger than 1.1 V peak, a step-down transformer or resistive attenuation should
be used (see Figure 35 for suggested attenuator topology - the circuit may be modified to give the desired
attenuation). The EQSEL pin should be held low to select an amplitude-controlled equalizer.
Clock Recovery
The PLL-based Clock Recovery block is used to recover a CMOS level clock from the equalized and sliced
input pulses. The filters are internal. When DLOS is high and TEST1 is high (data is present), CLKO is the
clock recovered from the data. When DLOS is low and TEST1 is high, CLKO is equal to the reference clock
(REFCK). When TEST1 is low or TRLBK is low, CLKO is equal to the transmit input clock CLKI.
B3ZS/HDB3 Decoder
The B3ZS/HDB3 Decoder block decodes the B3ZS (or HDB3) encoded line signal and detects coding errors
and excessive zeros in the incoming data stream. An active-high pulse is generated on the CV output whenever the input signal violates the B3ZS (or HDB3) encoding sequence for bipolar violations or contains three
(four) or more consecutive zeros. An active-low pulse is generated on the EXZ output when a string of three
(four) or more consecutive zeros is detected and it remains low until a one is detected. When in NRZ mode,
the CV signal is timed to occur at the terminal-side receiver output at the same time as the bit violating the coding. The CV is approximately 9 cycles after the errored data in the eye pattern monitor. The CODECDIS control input is used to bypass the decoder NRZ outputs with PN data at the receiver terminal side outputs; the
decoder is always operating so CV and EXZ are always valid. E3HDB3 high will select HDB3 encoding and
decoding.
Rx I/O Control
The Rx I/O Control block multiplexes the appropriate signals to the receiver terminal side outputs. The output
NRZ data formats include:
1. B3ZS (or HDB3) decoded output recovered from the line (RP/RD contains recovered data; RN is held low).
This mode is referred to as NRZ mode. CODECDIS high enables the codec.
2. Encoded outputs from the Clock Recovery block (RP/RD contains positive data; RN contains negative
data). This mode allows an external device to perform the encoding/decoding functions. CODECDIS low
enables this mode. This is referred to as PN rail mode.
3. Loopback signals from the transmitter terminal side inputs are looped through the digital logic when TRLBK
is low. The receiver and clock recovery are bypassed. Data can be either NRZ or PN data.
4. AIS DS3-framed format signals when RAIS is low and E3HDB3 is low.
5. AIS alternating ones (E3 format) when RAIS is low and E3HDB3 is high.

DATA SHEET
6. Loopback data from the transmit terminal side inputs are encoded PN data which is looped to the receiver
terminal side outputs through the Clock Recovery block, when TEST1 is low. The data input into the transmit terminal side inputs can be unencoded NRZ data or encoded PN data.
See the AIS and Loopback Control Signal Arbitration table (Table 6) for further clarification.
Outputs CLKO and CLKO provide true and inverted clocks for all formats.
The RXDIS signal forces the RP/RD and RN outputs to a low state.
LOS Detector
The LOS Detector block generates active low outputs which indicate the absence of the line side input signal(s). The DLOS output goes low when a string of 175 ± 75 consecutive zeros occurs on the line. This output
is reset to high when the detected ones density is in the range of 28 to 33% (or > 33%) for 175 ± 75 pulses for
B3ZS or 20 to 25% (or > 25%) for 175 ± 75 pulses for HDB3. The ALOS output goes low when the detected
ones density is below 28% for 175 ± 75 pulses for B3ZS or below 20% for 175 ± 75 pulses for HDB3. ALOS is
reset to high when the ones density is greater than 33% for B3ZS, or greater than 25% for HDB3, for 175 ± 75
pulses. Between 28 and 33% for B3ZS, or between 20 and 25% for HDB3, the ALOS output may toggle
between the active and reset states.
The LOS Detector block always uses the receiver outputs which are based upon the receiver inputs DI1 and
DI2. When TRBLK is low the Clock Recovery block is still recovering the clock from the receiver inputs. Therefore the DLOS and ALOS signals are still valid. When TEST1 is low the Clock Recovery block will recover the
clock from the internally looped transmitter inputs. In this state DLOS and ALOS will be active but may no
longer meet the limits given above.
The DLOS signal meets ITU-T Rec. G.775 for the loss of signal indication. The ALOS signal is a stricter indication of line degradation and there is no standard related to this function. DLOS requires a large number of consecutive zeros to give a loss of signal indication. An occasional “1” data bit can prevent the activation of DLOS
even though the data is highly errored. In contrast, the ALOS signal monitors the data to ensure the data
stream has the proper number of ones (ones density), as required by the B3ZS (or HDB3) coding algorithm.
For this reason, ALOS is a stricter indicator of the status of a transmission impairment. The ALOS and DLOS
outputs may not be reliable if the input cable at the receive interface is left disconnected. This effect is layout
dependent. If the data cycles on and off at a slow rate ALOS and DLOS may become stuck off (high) and the
receiver output clock (CLKO) will also be running at a slow rate.
TRANSMITTER FUNCTIONS
Tx I/O Control
The Tx I/O Control block multiplexes the appropriate signals for use by the transmitter. The selectable formats
include:
1. Unencoded Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ) input data (TP/TD contains unencoded data, TN must be
grounded). This is referred to as NRZ mode which is selected when CODECDIS is high.
2. B3ZS (or HDB3) encoded PN input data (TP/TD contains positive data, TN contains negative data).
CODECDIS pin held low enables this mode (PN rail mode).
3. B3ZS (valid for DS3 only) encoded Return-to-Zero (RZ) input data (TP/TD contains positive data, TN contains negative data). The transmit encoder and transmit clock duty cycle control circuits are bypassed. The
RZ pulses must contain input pulses that have the correct pulse width. This mode is enabled when RZTXIN
is held low. CLKI should be tied low to gate the transmit logic off and CODECDIS should be tied low.
4. Looped-back clock and data from the receiver (to the internal transmitter input) when LNLBK is low. Looped
data can be either NRZ or PN data. In the NRZ mode the data will first be decoded and then re-encoded.
Code violations in the data stream will be lost in the decoding/encoding process. In contrast, the PN mode
passes the received data to the transmitter unaltered.

5. AIS DS3-framed format signal when TAIS is low and E3HDB3 is low. The encoder is automatically enabled
when TAIS is low.
6. AIS alternating ones (E3 format) signal when TAIS is low and E3HDB3 is high.
7. B3ZS (or HDB3) unencoded, unframed 215/223-1 PRBS generator output when TEST0 is low with the
exception of LNLBK and RZ format. The state of the CODECDIS pin does not affect the encoding of the
generator output. When TEST0 is set low, the encoder is enabled to ensure that correctly coded data is
always transmitted.
The AIS and Loopback Control Arbitration table (Table 6) provides further clarification.
The CLKI pin is the input clock for the formats described in 1, 2 and 7 above. When RZTXIN is low, the CLKI
signal is ignored and should be tied low. When LNLBK is active, CLKI is also ignored but does not have to be
tied low. For transmitting AIS, the reference clock REFCK is used exclusively. The duty cycle requirement for
CLKI and REFCK is (50 ± 10)% with a frequency accuracy of the nominal bit rate ± 20 ppm. The frequency
accuracy of REFCK can be relaxed to the nominal bit rate ± 100 ppm if the transmit AIS function is not used.
Transmit Clock Duty Cycle Control Circuit
The Transmit Clock Duty Cycle Control circuit relaxes the duty cycle requirement for both REFCK (when using
the transmit AIS function) and CLKI. Instead of the usual ± 5% duty cycle tolerance, the duty cycle tolerance of
the DART clocks is ± 10%. This allows using a less expensive oscillator and eases the board design.

The B3ZS/HDB3 Encoder block encodes the input NRZ mode data so as to be compliant with ANSI Specification T1.102A (ITU-T Rec. G.703 for E3). Figure 25 gives examples of B3ZS encoding (HDB3 is similar). The
CODECDIS control pin can be used to disable the encoding function of this block so that the PN rail data is
passed through unchanged. CODECDIS must be low when RZTXIN is low.
When TAIS is low and TEST0 is high the encoder is disabled and the AIS signal is passed to the output.
When TEST0 is low the encoder is enabled and the output of the PRBS data generator is encoded and passed
to the output.
The AIS and Loopback Control Signal Arbitration table (Table 6) provides further clarification.
Transmitter Output Control Block
DS3 Shaped Output
The Output Control block contains the pulse shaping circuitry required to transform the B3ZS encoded data
into pulses that meet the mask templates and power requirements for DS3 line rates. An internal line driver is
included which enables the DART to drive this signal directly from DOUT into the 75 ohm load of the output
cable. The ZERO pin should be held low for all cable lengths.
When the DSXDIS pin is high the DOUT transmitter output is enabled. DOUT is a single-ended output which
meets the DS3 mask template. An internal transversal filter is used to create this output.
E3 Square-Wave Output
Transmit outputs DO1 and DO2 are rectangular CMOS level pulses, generated in conjunction with external
passive components, that produce level-translated E3 transmit mask-compliant versions of the input digital signal(s). The AVDDTX pins set the amplitude of these waveforms. The amplitudes will have little variation with
VDD if the AVDDTX supply voltage used is produced by a three-terminal voltage regulator. The square wave
outputs need external load resistors as shown in Figure 31, “External Components, Pin Connections and
Power/Ground”. An external transformer is required to translate the DO1 and DO2 signals to the appropriate
+/- polarity (bipolar) waveform. When using the DO1 and DO2 outputs, power dissipation is minimal in the
transmitter when no data is being transmitted.

Waveform Control Pins
When DSXDIS is high, the DOUT output is enabled. When DSXDIS is low, the DO1/DO2 outputs are enabled.
Figure 26 shows idealized transmitter waveforms for both output modes.
TRANSMITTER CALIBRATION PLL
The calibration PLL calibrates an internal delay line by locking to the REFCK signal. The resulting control voltages are filtered and used in delay lines in other parts of the device.
An external capacitor connected from TPLLC to the proper analog ground is required for filtering the internal
calibration PLL control voltages. The filtered voltages are used to calibrate the transmitter transversal filter circuit (see Figure 31 and Note 7). The transmitted pulse width can be changed by adding an external resistor
from TPLLC to either AVDDTX (which narrows the pulse) or AGNDTX (which widens the pulse).
LOOPBACKS AND AIS INSERTION
The loopback control signals enable input signals of the DART to be looped back on both the line side and terminal side. The AIS and Loopback Control Signal Arbitration table (Table 6) illustrates the various control signals and related DART outputs.
Internal Digital Transmit Terminal Side Loopback
When TRLBK (terminal loopback) is low, the TP/TD, TN and CLKI inputs are directly looped back to the
RP/RD, RN and CLKO pins via the Rx I/O Control Block (all-digital signal path). The normal transmit path is
active in this state. The state of CODECDIS does not affect the terminal loopback path.
Internal Analog Receive Line Side Loopback
When LNLBK is low and CODECDIS is high, the DI1/DI2 signals are looped back to the DOUT or DO1/DO2
outputs via the Adaptive Equalizer/AGC, Clock Recovery, B3ZS/HDB3 Decoder, Rx I/O Control, Tx I/O Control, B3ZS/HDB3 Encoder and Output Control blocks. Since the data will be processed through the decoder
then re-encoded in this mode, any receiver code violations will not be propagated to the transmitter output.
When LNLBK is low and CODECDIS is low, the DI1/DI2 signals are looped back to the DOUT or DO1/DO2
outputs via the Adaptive Equalizer/AGC, Clock Recovery, Rx I/O Control, Tx I/O Control and Output Control
blocks. The decoder and encoder data paths are bypassed in this mode, but the CV and EXZ signals are valid
and the normal receiver path is active. Received data will propagate to the transmitter output with no alteration.
The above two loopbacks may be operated independently or simultaneously. It should be noted that when
TRLBK is active, the CV, DLOS, EXZ and ALOS output signals will still respond to the line input data signals
applied at pins DI1 and DI2 and will be valid signals. As stated previously, the normal receive path is active
during LNLBK.
Internal Analog Transmit Terminal Side Loopback
For the DART device, when TEST1 is low and CODECDIS is high, the transmit terminal input data will loop
back through the Encoder, Auxiliary Loopback Control, Clock Recovery, Decoder and Rx I/O Control blocks as
shown in Figures 4 through 11. When TEST1 is low and CODECDIS is low, the transmit terminal input data will
loop back through the auxiliary loopback control, clock recovery and Rx I/O control blocks, as shown in Figures
4 through 11. When TAIS is active low at the same time as TEST1 is active low, AIS will loop through this path
and be provided at the output on the receiver terminal side.
DS3/E3 AIS Generator
The DS3/E3 AIS Generator block generates a DS3 (E3) alarm indication signal (AIS) compliant with Bellcore
Specification TR-TSY-000191 (ITU-T Rec. G.775) on the line or terminal sides of the device. The AIS outputs
are selected with TAIS or RAIS. This block generates DS3 or E3 format AIS only. AIS will override the loop- 12 Powered by ICminer.com Electronic-Library Service CopyRight 2003

back commands. The reference clock REFCK is used to generate both AIS (framed for DS3) and PRBS transmitted data. The required duty cycle for REFCK is (50 ± 10)% and the frequency accuracy is the nominal bit
rate ± 20 ppm (as required by the standards). The transmit clock duty cycle control circuit will generate a transmit clock from REFCK that has the proper duty cycle.
TESTABILITY
215/ 223-1 PRBS Generator
The 215/223-1 PRBS (Pseudo-Random Binary Sequence) Generator and PRBS Analyzer blocks provide diagnostic capability. When the TEST0 pin is low, the output of the PRBS generator is driven through the Tx I/O
Control, B3ZS Encoder and Output Control blocks to either DOUT when DSXDIS is high, or DO1/DO2 when
DSXDIS is low. The encoder is always enabled when TEST0 is low, regardless of the state of the CODECDIS
pin. The analyzer works in either NRZ mode or PN mode.
215/ 223-1 PRBS Analyzer
The PRBS Analyzer monitors the output of the B3ZS/HDB3 decoder block. If the output signal conforms to the
correct 215/223-1 pattern the BIST output will go high. The PRBS Analyzer always functions, regardless of the
state of the TEST0 pin. Whenever a valid 215/223-1 pattern (this pattern can contain a significant number of
errors and still be valid) appears at the receiver outputs the BIST pin will go high. The BIST signal operates as
a PRBS synchronization indicator for the incoming received data. The RXERR output of the device goes high
whenever a received bit is in error for the selected PRBS pattern and the BIST pin is high.
The analyzer runs regardless of the state of the CODECDIS pin, since the PRBS analyzer is supplied with
decoded data by the Decoder at all times. The Generator/Analyzer combination can be used in conjunction
with both external and internal line-side loopbacks for diagnostic purposes. The combination of both TEST0
and TEST1 pins being low sends signals through all of the data path blocks in the device. This is particularly
useful for manufacturing test.
Setting the PAT23 pin low selects the 223-1 pattern operation. Setting the PAT23 pin high selects the 215-1
pattern operation.
INPUT REFERENCE CLOCK
A TTL level input clock at the E3 or DS3 rate must be applied to the REFCK input for the DART device to operate. This will typically be supplied by a local oscillator on the board. The tolerance required is ± 100 ppm for
operation when the DS3 AIS generator is not used. To generate a valid AIS transmit signal a frequency tolerance of ± 20 ppm is required. The required duty cycle is (50 ± 10)%. REFCK can be the same signal as CLKI,
if CLKI is driven from a local card oscillator. If loop timing is being performed REFCK can be the same signal
as CLKI, if a provision is made to multiplex between the local card oscillator and the dejittered recovered clock;
the logical “or” of ALOS and DLOS should be part of the mux control logic. When these signals are active, it
may indicate the recovered clock is inaccurate and the local card oscillator should be used.
DEJITTER FIFO/DEJITTER PLL OPERATION
The data paths and operation of the Dejitter PLL and Dejitter FIFO portions of the DART device are shown in
Figures 2 through 11. Figures 2 and 3 show the block diagrams of the DART receive and transmit sections,
respectively, with dejitter circuits included. Figures 4 through 11 show the simplified Dejitter PLL/FIFO data
paths for each operating mode of the DART device. Note that use of the LNLBK pin is invalid when in the dejitter mode and PN mode (see Figure 4). The VCXO interface diagrams in Figures 33 and 34 show the external
component connections for the DART dejitter PLL. TranSwitch Application Note AN-525, “Dejitter Circuit for
Data Transmission Using the Recovered Clock”, Document No. TXC-02050-AN2 can be used as an aid in the
design of a recovered clock dejitter only circuit, which is shown in Figures 6 and 7.

DATA SHEET
There are four distinct modes of operation of the Dejitter PLL/Dejitter Buffer. The first mode involves dejittering
both the recovered clock and receive data. In this mode either P and N data is dejittered or NRZ data (i.e.
RP/RD) and associated CVs are dejittered. Figures 4 and 5 show these paths. The second mode involves
dejittering the recovered clock. In this mode the dejitter FIFO is gated off. The dejitter PLL uses the recovered
clock to allow recovered clock dejittering. This is shown in Figures 6 and 7. The third mode involves dejittering
both the transmit clock and the transmit data. Both TP/TD and TN are fed into the FIFO regardless of the state
of CODECDIS. TN should be tied low when the NRZ mode is being used. Figures 8 and 9 show the data paths
for CLKI, TP/TD and TN dejittering. The dejitter FIFO and dejitter PLL are bypassed in transmit dejitter mode if
LNLBK is active (low). The looped recovered clock and data signals will not be dejittered. The fourth mode
bypasses both dejitter circuits. Figures 10 and 11 show the data paths when the dejitter circuits are not used.
Figures 33 and 34 show a simplified block diagram of the dejitter circuits in the DART and the associated
external circuits. It can be seen from these figures that the phase detector is a simple exclusive-or gate. The
logic block preceding the exclusive-or gate contains logic that performs frequency acquisition to ensure that
the dejitter PLL will lock to the correct clock frequency under all frequency offset conditions.
The active filter is necessary when using the FIFO because any static phase offset in the PLL loop will cause
the FIFO fill level to be offset from the nominal half-full level. For this reason the external operational amplifier
used should have a low input-offset voltage. The active filter can also be used when dejittering only the recovered clock. However, since static phase offsets are not important in this mode, the passive external RC filter
can be used. When operating in transmit dejitter mode, the transmission will stop if the VCXO stops (the VCXO
output is being used as the transmit clock in this mode).
Tables 1 and 2 that follow Figure 11 show the functions of the dejitter control pins.

From the table above it is seen that the Divide Factor (N) is controlled by the DIVSEL and E3HDB3 pins. The
PLL open gain is inversely proportional to the divide factor; the divide factor is application dependent. The
divide factor in combination with the VCXO gain and the external filter frequency response is used to determine the stability, transient response, and bandwidth of the dejitter PLL. The greatest variability of the these
three factors is the VCXO gain. Attention should be paid to the VCXO minimum and maximum frequency deviation range which is not often specified by the VXCO manufacturer. A conservative number should be used for
the VCXO gain to ensure the design goals are met.
The PLL behavior is described by the following equations:
VCXO gain = Kvx/s = [(Deviation_range * Center Frequency * 2 * pi) / 4] / s.
Phase Detector gain = Kpd = [5, 10]/(2 * pi * N); 10 for differential filter, 5 for single-ended filter.
Active Filter Transfer Function = LF(s) = [1 / (s* R1 * C1) + [R2 / (s * R1 * R2 * C2) + R1]; single-ended version
of the differential filter shown in Figure 33. The block diagram of the Dejitter PLL is shown in the Figure 12.

Figure 12. Dejitter PLL Block Diagram
From the block diagram the following equations can be derived.
The Dejitter PLL open loop transfer function = Loop(s) = Kpd * LF(s) * Kvx/s.
The Dejitter PLL closed loop transfer function = PLL(s) = (Loop(s) / (1 + Loop(s))).
For well-behaved operation the open loop frequency response must have less than 135 degrees of phase shift
when the loop gain crosses the unity gain line of the Bode response. There are two primary sources of phase
shift. The first is the VCXO (1/s) and the second is the external filter (LF(s)). Application note AN-525 goes into
greater detail for designing a dejitter PLL using a passive filter. Changes to the design equations of AN-525
when using an active filter are straightforward. There are MATLAB and Mathcad routines to help in designing
the Dejitter PLL for a specific application. Contact the TranSwitch applications group for additional information
and the analysis tools.
Figure 13 shows the measured results of the DART Dejitter PLL at DS3 using the external filter values shown
in Figure 33. The upper curve of the figure shows the jitter on the input signal to the DART; for the receiver the
jitter is into DI1/DI2 and for the transmitter the jitter is on TP/TD and CLKI. The upper curve is actually the
receiver jitter tolerance curve.
The lower curve shows the measured dejitter PLL output jitter. For the receive side the jitter was measured at
the receiver terminal side. For the transmitter the jitter was measured at the transmitter line side.
From the figure we see that at the beginning measurement frequency of 10 Hz (lowest measurement frequency of the equipment) the measured output jitter is 0.63 UI for input jitter of 20 UI. The measured output jitter decreases at 20 dB/decade until it reaches a level of 0.03 UI for the receiver; 0.03 UI is the measurement
accuracy of the test equipment. The measured output jitter level for the transmitter is 0.04 UI; 0.04 UI is the
generated jitter of the transmitter with a jitterless input clock.
The dejitter PLL output jitter measurements were taken at three different frequency offsets. The frequencies

were 44.736 MHz and 44.736 MHz +/- 40 ppm. The supply voltage was varied from 4.7 to 5.3 volts. The measurement temperatures were -40 oC, 25 oC, and 85 oC. The output jitter curve shown represents the worst
case measurement for the test conditions.
No failures to phase lock were experienced for any of the tests performed and there were no cycle slips.
It should be noted that the VCXO is the biggest source of variability of the PLL response and particular attention should be paid to its characteristics.

POWER-DOWN MODE
In order to reduce the current required by the DART when either the transmitter or the receiver is not used, the
following power pins may be tied to ground:
Receiver-Only Operation: AVDDTX pins 14, 15, 74, 75.
Transmitter-Only Operation: AVDDRX pins 54, 55, 66, 67. AVDDPLL pin 62.
Current reduction in the Power-Down Mode is as follows:
Receiver-Only Operation: IDD is reduced by approximately 30 mA.
Transmitter-Only Operation: IDD is reduced by approximately 80 mA.
Note: Power must be provided to the AVDDTPLL pin in all three operational modes (Receiver and Transmitter, ReceiverOnly or Transmitter-Only). Refer to Figure 31 and associated Note 7 for power supply connections.

DATA SHEET
JITTER TRANSFER AND GENERATION
Jitter Transfer
Transfer of jitter through an individual unit of digital equipment is characterized by the relationship between the
applied input jitter and the resulting output jitter as a function of frequency. This standard does not apply to line
interface units, as the recovered data is either re-transmitted with a local oscillator or is re-transmitted with the
recovered clock that has been dejittered using a dejitter PLL. In short, the recovered clock is never used to
directly transmit data. Studying the jitter tolerance curve highlights the reason why this is not possible. The
receive PLL bandwidth is dictated by the jitter tolerance curve. This prevents the clock recovery circuit having
the low bandwidth necessary for low jitter in the low frequencies necessary for transmitting.
The measurement made with the test setup shown in Figure 27 is for information only. The measurement of
the jitter on CLKO is a measure of the characteristics of the clock recovery PLL, not how much jitter is transferred from the receiver input to the transmitter output.
For E3, ITU-T Recommendation G.823 further describes and defines jitter transfer.
For DS3, Bellcore Technical Reference GR-499-CORE, Issue 1, 1995 further describes and defines jitter
transfer.
In a line-side looped back configuration (from the receive terminal side outputs, externally looped back to the
terminal side inputs), in the absence of applied input jitter, the amount of jitter introduced by the DART device
is a maximum of 0.065 Unit Intervals (UIs, where UI is 1/System Clock Frequency) of peak-to-peak jitter over a
jitter frequency range of 20 Hz to 1 MHz (filter with high-pass of 10 Hz and a low-pass of 1.1 MHz).
The test arrangement illustrated in Figure 27 is recommended for performance of the jitter transfer test. This test
is made by adding jitter to the line side data inputs (DI1 and DI2) and measuring the jitter at the terminal side
receiver clock output (CLKO). Intrinsic test equipment jitter must be subtracted from the measurement. The
receiver outputs (RP/RD, RN and CLKO) are looped back to the transmitter inputs (TP/TD, TN and CLKI) using
cables. The transmitter is active to verify that there is no crosstalk between the transmitter and receiver.

Jitter Generation
Jitter generation is the process whereby jitter appears at the output port of an individual unit of digital equipment in the absence of applied input jitter.
For E3, ITU-T Rec. G.703, SS 666339, ETSI TBR24, and ETS 300 689 specify the maximum jitter generation
to be 1.5 UI peak-to-peak at the output of the terminal receiver for Category I equipment, 0.5 UI in a repeater
application.
For DS3, Bellcore Technical Reference GR-499-CORE, Issue 1, 1995 specifies the maximum jitter generation
to be 1.0 UI peak-to-peak at the output of the terminal receiver for Category I equipment.
The test arrangement illustrated in Figure 28 is used for performance of the jitter generation test. This test is
made by using a jitterless transmit clock and then measuring the jitter at the output of the transmitter. A filter
from 10 Hz to 400 kHz is used. Intrinsic test equipment jitter is subtracted from the measurement. The E3/DS3
jitter generation within the DART device is 0.05 UI peak-to-peak maximum for all frequencies specified in the
three standards referenced above.

JITTER TOLERANCE
Input jitter tolerance is the maximum amplitude of sinusoidal jitter at a given jitter frequency, which when modulating the signal at an equipment port, results in no more than two errored seconds cumulative, where these
errored seconds are integrated over successive 30-second measurement intervals and the jitter amplitude is
increased in each succeeding measurement interval.
Requirements on input jitter tolerance are specified in terms of compliance with a jitter mask, which represents
a combination of points. Each point corresponds to a minimum amplitude of sinusoidal jitter at a given jitter frequency which, when modulating the signal at an equipment input port, results in two or fewer errored seconds
in a 30-second measurement interval.
E3: ITU-T Recommendation G.823 specifies that network equipment must be able to accommodate and tolerate levels of jitter up to certain specified limits. The DART device accommodates and tolerates more input jitter
than the level of input jitter specified by this recommendation. The tolerance curve and the measured curve are
shown in Figure 29.
DS3: Bellcore Technical Reference GR-499-CORE, Issue 1, December 1995 specifies the minimum requirement jitter tolerance curve for Category II equipment (most stringent requirement). Jitter tolerance within the
DART device meets and exceeds the performance requirements. Figure 30 presents the DS3 Bellcore minimum jitter tolerance requirement curve and the measured performance.

PHYSICAL DESIGN
High-frequency design techniques must be employed for layout of the printed circuit board on which the DART
device is mounted. A summary of the special design requirements is provided below. More details are available in TranSwitch Application Note AN-406, Guidelines for ART/ARTE Printed Circuit Board Layout, Document Number TXC-02020-AN1.
The following guidelines and suggestions should be adhered to for a successful board design. At the E3 and
DS3 frequencies it is important to use high-frequency layout techniques. The set of techniques discussed
below is the bare minimum that should be used.
A solid ground plane with notches should be used. ‘Solid’ in this instance means that the impedance from any
point in the plane to the board ground connection should be low. This means having as much metal left in the
plane as possible. This is very important in regards to the location of the analog DART device, since its SNR
can be severely degraded by I*Z drops in these planes. Notching is used to direct (i.e., steer) noise-induced
current away from the DART device’s ground return path. Under no circumstances should a DART device’s
ground region be connected to the “ground” through a trace. The trace is an impedance at high frequencies
and not a short. Ground currents through the trace impedance will cause voltage noise. Do not run AC signals
across the notches in the ground plane, as this will produce an impedance discontinuity and signal integrity will
be affected.
Try to place the DART device in a manner that results in no high current devices (such as oscillators or drivers)
being placed in line with the DART device and the card ground connection.
Do not use a solid power plane. Break the power plane into regions. Placing the power and ground planes in adjacent layers will produce an additional noise reduction due to capacitive coupling. For example, a six-layer board
could be signal-signal-power(ground)-ground(power)-signal-signal. The following is the list of power regions:
1. Analog Receiver power, AVDDRX (tie AVDDPLL to AVDDRX)
2. Analog Transmitter power, AVDDTX (tie AVDDJ to AVDDTX)
3. Analog PLL power, AVDDTPLL
4. DART Digital power, DVDD
5. DART Dejitter PLL power, AVDDJ
6. Board power, VDD
If ferrite beads are used in the analog power lines, as is recommended, there will be a narrowing of the power
plane at the ferrite bead. If the beads are not used, use as wide a path as possible back to the common connecting point. It should be noted that not using the beads may cause a large SNR reduction in the transceiver.
The effect is highly board dependent and not easily predictable.
Figure 31 shows the recommended ground and power connections for the DART device. The passive components should be connected to the indicated ground (a solid plane with possible notching). Connecting the components to the wrong point will inject a noise signal into that part of the transceiver. Do not use a long trace to
connect components to ground. Always use as short a trace as possible. The decoupling capacitors should be
placed as close as feasible to their associated device pins and on the same side of the board as the DART
device. Put a decoupling capacitor at every power pin. Placing the capacitors on the other side of the board
may have a measurable impact on device performance. Again, it should be pointed out that a board trace is an
impedance, not a short. The other passive components should also be placed as close as possible to their
associated pins.
The DART terminal side CMOS output drivers have a drive capability of 4 mA. If driving long traces (the longer
the trace, the greater the parasitic capacitance) or multiple loads these outputs may need to be buffered.
The notes at the bottom of Figure 31 give external component values and types, a listing of the various powers
and grounds and other general information.

General Comments
A board trace at high frequencies is not a zero impedance metal interconnection. It is a distributed LC network.
The values of the L and C (per unit length) parasitic components are determined by trace geometry (width and
height) and the surrounding material (which determines the dielectric constant). A trace with a given geometry
will have a different impedance if it is on an outside board layer from the same trace placed instead in an internal layer. Large branches (stubs) off a main trace will change the impedance at the branch point due to the
effect of impedances in parallel, so branch lengths should be kept to a minimum (less than a quarter wavelength). This is very important for clock lines where load/source impedance mismatches can cause severe
ringing, which leads to timing problems. Use buffers to reduce the difficulty of distributing a signal with multiple
loads.
If relays are used to switch the transceivers in and out, use the 75 ohm shielded variety to minimize crosstalk,
especially from the power used to energize the relay. Match the impedance of the board traces of the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs to the transmission line impedance (75 ohms if a 1:1 transformer is used) to
minimize reflections. Physically separate the analog signal lines from the digital lines. Route the differential
receiver lines side by side to make coupled noise common-mode. Use guard traces on the receive lines.
These guard traces should be tied to ground. Avoid ninety-degree corners in the board lands, keeping lands as
straight and short as possible. Use terminating (i.e., 51 ohm series-damping) resistors in the digital signal lines
where appropriate (i.e., if the line is longer than a quarter wavelength of the highest signal frequency of importance, reflections will start causing problems).
The above comments are guidelines only. High frequency board layout is difficult and must be done with care.
A bad board layout will reduce the SNR of the transceiver and cause timing problems with the board logic, perhaps to the point of requiring a complete board redesign.

Figure 35. Suggested Single-Ended Termination Circuit for Non-Monitor Functions
Notes:
1. T1 and T2 are either Coilcraft WB1010 or Pulse PE65967 transformers, or equivalent.
2. T3 (for E3 only) is either a Coilcraft WB1020 or a Pulse PE65968 transformer, or equivalent. T3 is only required if the
DART square wave transmit output is used (DO1, DO2). It is recommended that the board layout is designed to accommodate both the single-ended and differential layouts (see Figure 32).
3. R5 and R6 are only required for DART eye pattern monitoring purposes, not for device operation.
4. Fair-Rite #2743002111 or equivalent should be used for each ferrite bead.
5. Locate ferrite bead/capacitor decoupling as close as possible to device. Locate the 10 µF polarized capacitor as close
as possible to the ferrite bead and place an individual 0.1 µF capacitor as close as possible to each voltage pin on the
device.
6. The power supply decoupling as shown is the optimum case. The various DART power supplies can be combined with
a slight reduction of SNR for each combination. The SNR loss for each combination is layout dependent and not easily
quantified. Under no circumstances should the DART power supplies be tied to the card digital power supply.
7. Power connections for transmit PLL: Avoid traces for power connections if possible. Use a decoupling capacitor.
Connect AVDDTPLL, AGNDTPLL (use of a single, solid ground plane with notching is recommended) and TPLLC as
follows:
Operating Mode
AVDDTPLL Connection
Receive and Transmit
Receive Only
Transmit Only
AVDDTX
AVDDRX
AVDDTX
8. Use of a single, solid ground plane is recommended. Notching to steer large switching currents away from the ground
paths (DART grounds to the card power connector) can be used. Do not route traces with AC signals over notches.
9. Figure 35 is the circuit suggested for future board designs in a non-monitor, non-redundant function. The attenuation
circuit will prevent the AGC from operating near the limits of its linear range.
