CONEXANT BT8370 Single chip transceivers for t1/e1 and integrated service digital network (isdn) primary rate interface Datasheet

Bt8370/8375/8376
Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
The Bt8370/8375/8376 is a family of single chip transceivers for T1/E1 and Integrated
Service Digital Network (ISDN) primary rate interfaces, operating at 1.544 Mbps or
2.048 Mbps. These devices combine a sophisticated framer, transmit and receive slip
buffers, and an on-chip physical line interface to provide a complete T1/E1 transceiver.
The fully featured Bt8370 and short-haul Bt8375 and Bt8376 devices provide a
programmable clock rate adapter for simplifying system bus interfacing. The adapter
synthesizes standard clock signals from the receive or transmit line rate clocks or from an
external reference.
Operations are controlled through memory-mapped registers accessible via a parallel
microprocessor port. Current ANSI, ETSI, ITU-T, and Bellcore standards are supported for
alarm and error monitoring, signaling supervision (e.g., LAPD/SS7), per-channel trunk
conditioning, and Facility Data Link (FDL) maintenance. A serial Time Division Multiplexed
(TDM) system bus interface allows the backplane Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) data
highway to operate at rates from 1.536 to 8.192 Mbps. Extensive test and diagnostic
functions include a full set of digital and analog loopbacks, PRBS test pattern generation,
BER meter, and forced error insertion.
The physical line interface circuit recovers clock and data from analog signals with +3 to
–43 dB cable attenuation, appropriate for both short (–18 dB) and long-haul T1/E1
applications. Receive line equalization (EQ) and transmit Line Build Out (LBO) filters are
implemented using Digital Signal Processor (DSP) circuits for reliable performance. Data
and/or clock jitter attenuation can be inserted on either the receive or transmit path. The
transmit section includes precision pulse shaping and amplitude pre-emphasis for cross
connect applications, as well as a set of LBO filters for long-haul Channel Service Unit
(CSU) applications. A complementary driver output is provided to couple 75/100/120 Ω
lines via an external transformer.

Microprocessor Interface (MPU)
RST*
Hardware Reset
I
RST* low-to-high transition forces registers to their default, power-up
state and forces all PIO pins to the input state. RST* is not mandatory,
because internal power on reset circuit performs an identical function.
RST* can be applied asynchronously, but must remain asserted for a
minimum of 2 clock cycles (external MCLK or internal 32 MHz) for the
low-to-high transition to be sampled and detected (see also [RESET; addr
001]).
MCLK
Processor Clock
I
System applies MCLK in the range of 8–36 MHz for external clock
(CLKMD = 1) and synchronous bus modes (SYNCMD = 1). During internal
clock modes (CLKMD = 0), the Bt8370/8375/8376 uses an internally
generated 32 MHz clock to control processor timing, and MCLK input is
ignored.
MOTO*
Motorola Bus mode
I
Selects Intel- or Motorola-style microprocessor interface. DS*, R/W*,
A[8:0], and AD[7:0] functions are affected.
0 = Motorola; AD[7:0] is data, A[8:0] is address, DS* is data strobe,
and R/W* indicates the read (high) or write (low) data direction.
1 = Intel; AD[7:0] is multiplexed address/data, A[7:0] ignored, A[8] is
address line, DS* is read strobe (RD*), and R/W* is write strobe (WR*).
SYNCMD
Sync mode
I
Selects whether read/write cycle timing is synchronous with MCLK.
Supports Intel- or Motorola-style buses:
0 = Asynchronous bus; read data enable and write data input latch are
asynchronously controlled by CS*, DS*, and R/W* signals. Latched write
data is still synchronized internally to 32 MHz clock for transfer to
addressed register.
1 = Synchronous bus; applicable only if the external clock is also
selected (CLKMD = 1). MCLK rising edge samples CS*, DS*, and R/W* to
determine valid read/write cycle timing. Allows 0 wait state processor
cycles for MCLK speeds up to 36 MHz, for M68000 type buses.
CLKMD
Clock mode
I
Selects whether MCLK is enabled (high) or ignored (low). When enabled,
MCLK frequency determines update rate of internal registers and sampling
rate of CS*, DS*, and R/W* signals.
A[8:0]
Address Bus
I
AS* falling edge asynchronously latches A[8:0] (Motorola) or A[8] (Intel)
to identify 1 register for subsequent read/write data transfer cycle.
AD[7:0]
Data Bus or Address
Data
I/O
Multiplexed address/data (Intel) or only data (Motorola). Refer to MOTO*
signal definition.
AS* (ALE)
Address Strobe
I
For all processor bus modes, AS* falling edge asynchronously latches
address from A[8:0] (Motorola) or from A[8] and AD[7:0] (Intel). For sync
modes (SYNCMD = 1), each read/write data cycle requires both AS* and
CS* active-low on MCLK rising edge.
CS*
Chip Select
I
Active-low enables read/write decoder. Active-high ends current read or
write cycle and places data bus output in high impedance.

ONESEC
1-second Timer
PIO
Controls or marks 1-second interval used for status reporting. When
input, the timer is aligned to ONESEC rising edge. When output, rising
edge indicates start of each 1-second interval. Typically, 1 device in a
multi-line system is configured to output ONESEC to synchronize other
Bt8370/8375/8376 status reports on a common 1-second interval.

O
Open drain active-low output signifies in-progress data transfer cycle.
DTACK* remains asserted (low) for as long as AS* and CS* are both
active-low. DTACK* is only implemented during synchronous Motorola
processor interface modes. Refer to the timing diagrams in Section 5.5,
MPU Interface Timing.
Line Interface Unit (LIU)
XOE
Transmit Output
Enable
I
Active-high input enables XTIP and XRING output drivers; otherwise, both
outputs are placed in high-impedance state. XOE contains internal pullup
so systems that do not require three-stated outputs can leave XOE
unconnected. XOE needs to be disabled during Power-On Reset (POR) and
re-enabled after configuring the part. Refer to Power-On Reset procedure
in Section 2.10.4, Device Reset.

TNEGI, TPOSO, TNEGO, TNRZO, MSYNCO, TDLI, and TDLCKO. If TSLIP is
bypassed, selected source also clocks TSB signals.
ACKI
All Ones Clock
I
System optionally applies ACKI for AIS transmission, if the selected
primary transmit clock source fails. ACKI is either manually or
automatically switched to replace TCKI (see [AISCLK; addr 068]). Systems
without an AIS clock must tie ACKI to ground.

Transmit System Bus (TSB)
TSBCKI
TSB Clock Input
I
Bit clock and I/O signal timing for TSB according to system bus mode (see
[SBI_CR; addr 0D0]). System chooses from 1 of four different clocks to
act as TSB clock source (see [CMUX; addr 01A]). Rising or falling edge
clocks are independently configurable for data signals TPCMI, TSIGI,
TINDO and sync signals TFSYNC and TMSYNC (see [TPCM_NEG and
TSYN_NEG; addr 0D4]). When configured to operate at twice the data rate,
TSB clock is internally divided by two before clocking TSB data signals.
TPCMI
TSB Data Input
I
Serial data formatted into TSB frames consisting of DS0 channel time
slots and optional F-bits. One group of 24 T1 time slots or 32 E1 time slots
is selected from up to four available groups; data from the group is
sampled by TSBCKI, then sent towards transmitter output. Time slots are
routed through transmit slip buffer (see [TSLIPn; addr 140–17F])
according to TSLIP mode (see [TSBI; addr 0D4]). F-bits are taken from the
start of each TSB frame or from within an embedded time slot (see
[EMBED; addr 0D0]) and optionally inserted into the transmitter output
(see [TFRM; addr 072] register).
TSIGI
TSB Signaling Input
I
Serial data formatted into TSB frames containing ABCD signaling bits for
each system bus time slot. Four bits of TSIGI time slot carry signaling
state for each accompanying TPCMI time slot. Signaling state of every
time slot is sampled during first frame of the TSB multiframe, and then
transferred into transmit signaling buffer [TSIGn; addr 120–13F].
TINDO
TSB Time Slot
Indicator
O
Active-high output pulse marks selective transmit system bus time slots
as programmed by SBCn [addr 0E0–0FF]. TINDO occurs on TSBCKI rising
or falling edges as selected by TPCM_NEG (see [TSBI; addr 0D4]).
TFSYNC
TSB Frame Sync
PIO
Input or output TSB frame sync (see [TFSYNC_IO; addr 018]). TFSYNC
output is active-high for 1 TSB clock cycle at programmed offset bit
location (see [TSYNC_BIT; addr 0D5]), marking offset bit position within
each TSB frame and repeating once every 125 µs. When transmit framer is
also enabled, TSB timebase and TFSYNC output frame alignment are
established by transmit framer's examination of TPCMI serial data input.
When TFSYNC is programmed as an input, the low-to-high signal
transition is detected and aligns TSB timebase to programmed offset bit
value. TSB timebase flywheels at 125 µs frame interval after the last
TFSYNC is applied.
TMSYNC
TSB Multiframe Sync
PIO
Input or output TSB multiframe sync (see [TMSYNC_IO; addr 018]).
TMSYNC output is active-high for 1 TSB clock cycle at programmed offset
bit location (see [TSYNC_BIT; addr 0D5]), marking offset bit position
within each TSB multiframe and repeating once every 6 ms coincident
with TFSYNC. When transmit framer is also enabled, TSB timebase and
TMSYNC output multiframe alignment are established by transmit
framer's examination of TPCMI serial data input. When TMSYNC is
programmed as an input, the low-to-high signal transition is detected and
aligns TSB timebase to the programmed offset bit value and first frame of
the multiframe. TSB timebase flywheels at 6 ms multiframe interval after
the last TMSYNC is applied. If system bus applies TMSYNC input, TFSYNC
input is not needed.

Receive System Bus (RSB)
RSBCKI
RSB Clock Input
I
Bit clock and I/O signal timing for RSB according to system bus mode (see
[SBI_CR; addr 0D0]). System chooses from 1 of four different clocks to
act as RSB clock source (see [CMUX; addr 01A]). Rising or falling edge
clocks are independently configurable for data signals RPCMO, RSIGO,
RINDO and sync signals RFSYNC, RMSYNC (see [RPCM_NEG and
RSYN_NEG; addr 0D1]). When configured to operate at twice the data
rate, RSB clock is internally divided by 2 before clocking RSB data signals.
RPCMO
RSB Data Output
O
Serial data formatted into RSB frames consisting of DS0 channel time
slots, optional F-bits, and optional ABCD signaling. Time slots are routed
through receive slip buffer (see [RSLIPn; addr 1C0–1FF]) according to
RSLIP mode (see [RSBI; addr 0D1]). Data for each output time slot is
assigned sequentially from received time slot data according to system
bus channel programming (see [ASSIGN; addr 0E0–0FF]). F-bits are
output at the start of each RSB frame or at the embedded time slot
location (see [EMBED; addr 0D0]). ABCD signaling is optionally inserted
on a per-channel basis (see [INSERT; addr 0E0–0FF]) from the local
signaling buffer (see [RLOCAL; addr 180–19F]) or from the receive
signaling buffer [RSIGn; addr 1A0–1BF]. When enabled, robbed bit
signaling or CAS reinsertion is performed according to T1/E1 mode: the
eighth time slot bit of every sixth T1 frame is replaced, or the 4-bit
signaling value in the E1 time slot 16 is replaced.
RSIGO
RSB Signaling Output
O
Serial data formatted into RSB frames consisting of ABCD signaling bits
for each system bus time slot. Four bits of RSIGO time slot carry signaling
state for each accompanying RPCMO time slot. Local or through signaling
bits are output in every frame for each time slot and updated once per RSB
multiframe, regardless of per-channel RPCMO signaling reinsertion.
RINDO
RSB Time Slot
Indicator
O
Active-high output pulse marks selective receive system bus time slots as
programmed by SBCn [addr 0E0–0FF]. RINDO occurs on RSBCKI rising or
falling edges as selected by RPCM_NEG (see [RSBI; addr 0D1]).
RFSYNC
RSB Frame Sync
PIO
Input or output RSB frame sync (see [RFSYNC_IO; addr 018]). RFSYNC
output is active-high for 1 RSB clock cycle at programmed offset bit
location (see [RSYNC_BIT; addr 0D2]), marking offset bit within each RSB
frame and repeating once every 125 µs. RSB timebase and RFSYNC
output frame alignment begins at an arbitrary position and changes
alignment according to RSLIP mode (see [RSBI; addr 0D1]). When
RFSYNC is programmed as an input, the low-to-high signal transition is
detected and aligns RSB timebase to the programmed offset. RSB
timebase flywheels at 125 µs frame interval after the last RFSYNC is
applied.
RMSYNC
RSB Multiframe Sync
PIO
Input or output RSB multiframe sync (see [RMSYNC_IO; addr 018]).
RMSYNC output is active-high for 1 RSB clock cycle at programmed offset
bit location (see [RSYNC_BIT; addr 0D2]), marking offset bit within each
RSB multiframe and repeating once every 6 ms coinciding with RFSYNC.
RSB timebase and RMSYNC output multiframe alignment begins at an
arbitrary position and changes alignment according to RSLIP mode (see

low-to-high signal transition is detected and aligns the RSB timebase to
the programmed offset and the first frame of the multiframe. RSB
timebase flywheels at 6 ms multiframe interval after the last RMSYNC is
applied.

O
Active-high indicates that signaling bit updates are suspended for both
receive signaling buffer [RSIGn; addr 1A0–1BF] and stack [STACK; addr
0DA] register. SIGFRZ, clocked by RSB clock, goes high coinciding with
receive loss of frame alignment (see RLOF; addr 047) and returns low 6–9
ms after recovery of frame alignment.

Clock Rate Adapter (CLAD)
CLADI
CLAD Input
I
Optional CLAD input timing reference used to phase lock CLADO and JCLK
outputs to 1 of 44 different input clock frequencies selected in the range of
8 kHz to 16384 kHz (see [CLAD registers; addr 090–092]).
REFCKI
Reference Clock
I
System must apply a 10 MHz ±50 ppm clock signal to act as frequency
reference for internal Numerical Controlled Oscillator (NCO). REFCKI
determines frequency accuracy and stability of CLADO and jitter attenuator
(JCLK) clocks when the NCO operates in free running mode (see [JFREE;
addr 002]).
REFCKI is the baseband reference for all CLAD/JAT functions and is used
internally to generate clocks of various frequencies, locked to a selected
receive, transmit, or external clock. Hence, REFCKI is always required.
CLADO
CLAD Output
O
CLADO is configured to operate at 1 of 14 different clock frequencies (see
[CSEL; addr 091]) that include T1, E1 or system bus rates. CLADO is
typically programmed to supply RSB and TSB clocks that are
phase-locked to the selected transmit, receive or CLADI timing reference
(see [JEN; addr 002 and CEN; addr 090]). On the Bt8376 device, CLAD0
drives low when enabled.

2.2 Receive Line Interface Unit
The Receive Line Interface Unit (RLIU) recovers clock and data from the bipolar
Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI) line signal that has been attenuated and distorted
due to the characteristics of the line. In the Bt8370 device, the RLIU is sensitive
to signals attenuated in the range of 0 to –48 dB in E1 and T1 modes. In the
Bt8375 and Bt8376 devices, RLIU sensitivity is limited for short-haul only
applications. In addition, the RLIU interfaces at the DSX-1 Bridge Monitor Level
(–20 dB for DS1 and –30 dB for E1/CEPT).
The RLIU converts AMI pulses into P and N rail Non-Return to 0 (NRZ) data.
The AMI pulses are input on the receive tip and ring pins: RTIP and RRING
(Figure 2-4). The P and N rail NRZ data is then passed to the RCVR. The RCVR
dual rail output is available on RPOSO/RNEGO. Figure 2-5 illustrates the
relationship between the AMI received signal, the recovered clock, and the
RCVR dual rail outputs.

2.0 Circuit Description
2.2 Receive Line Interface Unit
Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
2.2.1 Data Recovery
The RLIU recovers data from the received analog signal by normalizing the
signal with the Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA) and the Automatic Gain Control
(AGC), removing distortion with the Adaptive Equalizer, and extracting the data
using the Data Slicer.
2.2.1.1 Automatic Gain
Control
The AGC circuit adjusts the gain of the incoming differential signal to achieve a
normalized level. The normalized level ensures that the input signal to the ADC is
75% to 100% of full scale. This is done by measuring the peak voltage of the
incoming signal with a peak detector, and inversely adjusting VGA gain based the
peak value. The AGC can be forced to a fixed gain for test purposes or limited to
a maximum value, which is the normal operating mode (see [FORCE_VGA;
addr 020]).
2.2.1.2 Variable Gain
Amplifier
The FORCE_VGA bit in the LIU Configuration register [LIU_CR; addr 020]
selects whether the AGC operates in Gain Limit mode or Fixed Gain mode. In
Gain Limit modes, the RLIU sensitivity is initially set to the maximum
(approximately 43 dB), and the gain is adjusted based the peak value recorded
during the AGC observation period. The AGC observation period can be set to 32,
128, 512, or 2048 symbol periods [RLIU_CR; addr 022]. A short observation
period allows quick responses to pulse height variations but possible overshoots.
A long observation period minimizes overshoots, but does not react quickly to
pulse height variations. The real-time status of the VGA gain setting can be read
in the Variable Gain Amplifier Status register [VGA; addr 029] and used to
approximate the receive analog signal level.
In Fixed Gain mode, the RLIU sensitivity is set to the value stored in the
Variable Gain Amplifier Maximum register [VGA_MAX; addr 024]. VGA_MAX
is a 6-bit register that allows up to 64 gain settings in 1.25 dB steps.
2.2.1.3 Adaptive
Equalizer
After the input amplitude has been normalized, the adaptive equalizer attempts to
remove the distortion introduced by the cable. The transfer function of the
equalizer is initially adjusted based on the peak value of the input signal because
this value provides some indication of the line length on the input. The Adaptive
Equalizer then automatically fine tunes to remove most of the signal distortion
due to intersymbol interference, noise, and other cable length effects.
In certain applications the device can be connected to a DSX monitor point
that has been resistively attenuated. Because this resistive attenuation adds no
phase-versus-frequency distortion, the VGA gain must be adjusted. This is done
by configuring the Receive Pad Resistor Compensation (ATTN[1,0]) in the LIU
Configuration register [LIU_CR; addr 020]. The resistive attenuation can be
configured to be either 0, –10, –20, or –30 dB.
2.2.1.4 Data Slicer
The Data Slicer extracts the data from the equalized signal by comparing the
differential inputs to threshold values. The threshold values are dynamically set,
based on a percentage of the peak level obtained by the peak detector. The
percentage is 50% of peak for both DS1 and CEPT. Dynamically adjusting the
threshold values ensures optimum signal-to-noise ratio. If the SQUELCH bit is
set in the LIU Configuration register [LIU_CR; addr 020] and the input signal
level is below threshold for the entire AGC observation period (EYEOPEN = 0),
Data Slicer output is forced to all 0s.

relationship in the absence of incoming pulses. Figure 2-7 illustrates the Receive

2.3 Jitter Attenuator
The Jitter Attenuator (JAT), illustrated in Figure 2-8, attenuates jitter in the
receive or transmit path, but not both simultaneously. In the receive configuration,
the line signal is recovered by the RLIU and is dejittered before it is decoded by
the RCVR. In the transmit configuration, the encoded signal from the transmit
block is dejittered before it is transmitted by the Transmit Line Interface Unit
(TLIU). The JAT receive/transmit configuration is done through the JDIR bit in
the Jitter Attenuator Configuration register [JAT_CR; addr 002]. The JAT can also
be completely disabled using the Jitter Attenuation (JEN) bit in the JAT_CR
register.

Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
2.3.1 Elastic Store
The elastic store size (RJAT or TJAT) is configurable using JSIZE[2:0] in the
JAT_CR. The elastic store sizes available are 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 bits. The
32-bit elastic store depth is sufficient to meet jitter tolerance requirements in
cases where the jitter attenuator cutoff frequency is programmed at 6 Hz or below,
and when the selected clock reference is frequency-locked. The larger elastic
store depths allows greater accumulated phase offsets. For example, the 128-bit
depth can tolerate up to ±64 bits of accumulated phase offset.
Since the elastic store is a fixed size, it can overflow and under-run. Overflow
occurs when the elastic store is full; under-run occurs when the elastic store is
empty. If either of these two conditions occurs, the Jitter Attenuator Elastic Store
Limit Error bit (JERR) in the Error Interrupt Status register [ISR5; addr 006] is
set. To determine if an overflow or under-run occurs, the Jitter Attenuator
Empty/Full bit (JMPTY) must be read from the Receive LIU Status register
[RSTAT; addr 021].
The elastic store is a circular buffer with independent read and write pointers.
The difference between the read and write pointers is the phase error (JPHASE)
between the input and output clocks of the jitter attenuator and is used to generate
JCLK. The read and write pointers are initialized using JCENTER in the
JAT_CR. JCENTER resets the write pointer and forces the elastic store read
pointer to 1 half of the programmed JSIZE. JCENTER also resets the JMPTY
status, so JMPTY must be read before JCENTER is written.
If JDIR is configured to put the jitter attenuator in the receive path, the write
pointer is driven by the Receive Clock (RXCLK), and the read pointer is driven
by the dejittered recovered clock (JCLK). The dejittered recovered clock output is
available on the RCKO pin if the output is enabled using RCKO_OE in the
Programmable Output Enable register [POE; addr 019]. The dejittering of the
recovered clock is done by the Clock Rate Adapter Block (CLAD). CLAD is
described later in this document.
If JDIR is configured to put the jitter attenuator in the transmit path, the write
pointer is driven by the Transmit Clock (TXCLK), and the read pointer is driven
by the dejittered transmit clock (JCLK). TXCLK can be slaved to four different
clock sources: Transmit Clock Input (TCKI), Receive Clock Output (RCKO),
Receive System Bus Clock Input (RSBCKI), or Clock Rate Adapter Output
(CLADO). The dejittered transmit clock is available on the TCKO pin when the
output is enabled using TCKO_OE in POE.
The receive LIU input clock and data jitter tolerance meets TR 62411-1990, as
illustrated in Figure 2-7. The JAT input jitter tolerance is illustrated in Figure 2-9.
The JAT jitter transfer function meets TR 62411-1990, as defined in Figure 2-10
and Table 2-1.

2.4.1 ZCS Decoder
The Receive Zero Code Suppression (RZCS) decoder decodes the dual rail data
(bipolar) into single rail data (unipolar). The Receive AMI bit (RAMI) in the
Receiver Configuration register [RCR0; addr 040] controls whether the received
signal is B8ZS/HDB3 decoded, depending on T1/E1N [addr 001] line rate
selection, or depending on whether the RZCS decoder is bypassed. If the line
code is unknown, the ZCSUB bit in Receive LIU Status [RSTAT; addr 021]
indicates that 1 or more B8ZS/HDB3 substitution patterns have been received on
the RTIP/RRING input. If the line code is B8ZS/HDB3 encoded, the RZCS bit in
RCR0 must be set to keep the LCV counter from counting BPVs that are part of
the B8ZS/HDB3 code.
2.4.2 In-Band Loopback Code Detection
The in-band loopback code detector circuitry detects receive data with in-band
codes of configurable value and length. These codes can be used to request
loopback of terminal equipment signals or other user-specified applications. The
two codes are referred to as loopback-activate and loopback-deactivate, although
the detectors need not be used only for loopback codes. Generally, any repeating
1–7 bit pattern can be selected. The loopback application is described in Section
9.3.1 of ANSI T1.403-1995. The loopback activate code is set in the Loopback
Activate Code Pattern [LBA; addr 043]. The loopback deactivate code is set in the
Loopback Deactivate Code Pattern [LBD; addr 044].
The sequence length for the loopback activate and deactivate codes can be
programmed for 4, 5, 6, or 7 bits by setting the code length bits of the Receive
Loopback Code Detector Configuration register [RLB; addr 042]. Shorter codes
can be programmed by repeating the expected pattern (e.g., 3+3 bit code
programmed as 6-bit code).
T1 In-Band Loopback Codes
Activate 00001
Deactivate 001
When a loopback code is detected, the LOOPUP or LOOPDN status bit is set
in Alarm 2 register [ALM2; addr 048], and the corresponding LOOPUP or
LOOPDN bit in Alarm 2 Interrupt Status register (ISR6; addr 005] is set. The
loopback detection interrupt can be enabled using the Alarm 2 Interrupt Enable
register [IER6; addr 00D]. When enabled, a loop-up or loop-down code detection
causes the Alarm 2 Interrupt bit [ALARM2] to be set in the Interrupt Request
register [IRR; addr 003] and generates an interrupt. Since loopbacks are not
automatically initiated, the processor must intercept and interpret the interrupt
status condition to determine when it must enable or disable the loopback control
mechanism (e.g., LLOOP; addr 014).
The in-band loopback code detector circuitry is only applicable to T1 mode.

2.4.3 Error Counters
The following Performance Monitoring (PM) counters are available in the
RCVR: Framing Bit Errors (FERR), CRC Errors (CERR), Line Code Violations
(LCV), and Far End Block Errors (FEBE). All PM count registers are reset on
read unless LATCH_CNT is set in the Alarm/Error/Counter Latch Configuration
register [LATCH; addr 046]. LATCH_CNT enables the 1-second latching of
counts coincident with the 1-second timer interrupt [ISR6; addr 005]. One-second
latching of PM counts is required if AUTO_PRM responses are enabled. All PM
counters can be disabled during RLOF, RLOS, and RAIS, using the STOP_CNT
bit in the LATCH register.
NOTE:
2.4.3.1 Frame Bit Error
Counter
The 12-bit Framing Bit Error Counter [FERR; addr 050 and 051] increments each
time a receive Ft, Fs, T1DM, FPS, or FAS error is detected. Fs (T1) and NFAS
(E1) errors can be included in the FERR count by setting FS_NFAS in Receive
Alarm Signal Configuration [RALM; addr 045]. An interrupt is available to
indicate that the FERR counter overflowed in the Counter Overflow Interrupt
Status register [ISR4; addr 007].
2.4.3.2 CRC Error
Counter
The 10-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check Error Counter [CERR; addr 052 and 053]
increments each time a receive CRC4 (E1) or CRC6 (T1) error is detected. An
interrupt is available to indicate that the CERR counter overflowed in ISR4.
2.4.3.3 LCV Error
Counter
The 16-bit Line Code Violation Error Counter [LCV; addr 054 and 055]
increments each time a receive Bipolar Violation (BPV)—not including line
coding—is detected. The LCV count can include EXZ if EXZ_LCV in the
Receive Alarm Signal Configuration register [RALM; addr 045] is set. EXZ can
be configured [RZCS; addr 040] to be 8 or 16 successive 0s, following a 1. An
interrupt is available to indicate that the LCV counter overflowed in ISR4.
2.4.3.4 FEBE Counter
2-16
If STOP_CNT is negated, error monitoring during RLOF conditions will
detect FERR, CERR, and FEBE according to the last known frame
alignment.
The 10-bit Far End Block Error (FEBE) counter [FEBE; addr 056 and 057]
increments each time the RCVR encounters an E1 far-end block error. An
interrupt is available to indicate that the FEBE counter overflowed in ISR4.

2.4.4 Error Monitor
The following signal errors are detected in the RCVR: Frame Bit Error (FERR),
MFAS Error (MERR), CAS Error (SERR), CRC Error (CERR), and Pulse
Density Violations (PDVs). Each error type has an interrupt enable bit that allows
an interrupt to occur marking the event, and has an interrupt register bit read by
the interrupt service routine. All error status registers are reset on read unless the
LATCH_ERR bit is set in the Alarm/Error/Counter Latch Configuration register
[LATCH; addr 046]. LATCH_ERR enables the 1-second latching of alarms
coincident with the 1-second timer interrupt [ISR6; addr 005]. With
LATCH_ERR enabled, any error detected during the 1-second interval is latched
and held during the following 1-second interval. LATCH_ERR allows the
processor to gather error statistics based on the 1-second interval.
FERR is reported for the receive direction in the Error Interrupt Status register
[ISR5; addr 006] and for the transmit direction in Pattern Interrupt Status [ISR0;
addr 00B]. FERR indicates that 1 or more Ft/Fs/FPS frame bit errors or FAS
pattern errors occurred since the last time the interrupt status was read. The FERR
type is determined by the receive framer’s configuration [CR0; address 001].
While CRC4 framing is enabled, MERR is reported for the receive direction
in the Error Interrupt Status register [ISR5; addr 006] and for the transmit
direction in Pattern Interrupt Status [ISR0; addr 00B]. MERR is only applicable
in E1 mode and indicates that 1 or more MFAS pattern errors occurred since the
last time the interrupt status was read.
While CAS framing is enabled, SERR is reported for the receive direction in
the Error Interrupt Status register [ISR5; addr 006] and for the transmit direction
in Pattern Interrupt Status [ISR0; addr 00B]. SERR is applicable only in E1 mode.
In this mode, SERR indicates that 1 or more errors were received in the TS16
Multiframe Alignment Signal (MAS) since the last time the interrupt status was
read.
CERR is reported for the receive direction in the Error Interrupt Status register
[ISR5; addr 006] and for the transmit direction in Pattern Interrupt Status [ISR0;
addr 00B]. CERR is only applicable in T1 ESF and E1 MFAS modes. In these
modes, CERR indicates that 1 or more bit errors were found in the CRC4/CRC6
pattern block since the last time the interrupt status was read.
PDV is reported when the receive signal does not meet the pulse density
requirements of ANSI T1.403-1995 (Section 5.6). A PDV is declared whenever
more than 15 consecutive zeros or the average ones density falls below 12.5%.
RPDV is reported for the receive direction in the Alarm 1 Interrupt Status register
[ISR7; addr 004].

2.4.5 Alarm Monitor
The following signal alarms are detected in the RCVR: Loss of Frame (LOF);
Loss of Signal (LOS); Analog Loss of Signal (ALOS); Alarm Indication Signal
(AIS); Remote Alarm Indication (RAI) or Yellow Alarm (YEL); Multiframe
Yellow Alarm (MYEL); Severely Errored Frame (SEF); Change of Frame
Alignment (COFA); and Multiframe AIS (MAIS). Each alarm has the following:
a status register bit that reports the real-time status of the event, an interrupt
enable bit that enables an interrupt to mark the event, and an interrupt register bit
read by the interrupt service routine to identify the event that caused the interrupt.
All alarm status registers are reset on read unless the LATCH_ALM bit is set in
Alarm/Error/Counter Latch Configuration register [LATCH; addr 046].
LATCH_ALM enables the 1-second latching of alarms coincident with the
1-second timer interrupt [ISR6; addr 005]. With LATCH_ALM enabled, any
alarm detected during the 1-second interval is latched and held during the
following 1-second interval.
2.4.5.1 Loss of Frame
Receive Loss of Frame (RLOF) is declared when the receive data stream does not
meet the framing criteria specified in the Receiver Configuration register
[RCR0; addr 040].
If the line rate is E1 [T1/E1N; addr 001], RLOF is the logically OR'ed status
of FAS, MFAS, and CAS alignment. These alignments, FRED, MRED and
SRED, respectively, are available separately in the Alarm 3 Status register
[ALM3; addr 049]. Once RLOF is declared, the LOF[1:0] bits in ALM3 report
the reason for E1 loss of frame alignment. In T1 mode, RLOF is equal to FRED.
The RLOF real-time status is available in Alarm 1 Status register [ALM1;
addr 047], and the interrupt status is set in the Alarm 1 Interrupt Status register
[ISR7; addr 004]. The RLOF interrupt is enabled by setting RLOF in the Alarm 1
Interrupt Enable register [IER7; addr 00C].
An FRED count [FRED[3:0]; addr 05A] is also available in the
SEF/LOF/COFA Alarm Counter [AERR; addr 05A]. An interrupt in Counter
Overflow Interrupt Status [ISR4; addr 007] indicates that the FRED counter
overflowed. COFA [1:0] is applicable to T1 modes only.
While T1 framing mode is enabled, the RLOF status and RLOF interrupt
status are integrated over 2.0 to 2.5 seconds if the RLOF_INTEG bit is set in the
Receive Alarm Signal Configuration register [RALM; addr 045]. The FRED
count is unaffected by RLOF_INTEG.
2.4.5.2 Loss of Signal
If the line rate is T1, the criteria for Receive Loss of Signal (RLOS) is 100
contiguous 0s (consistent with the standard requirement of 175 ±75 zeros). If the
line rate is E1, the criteria for RLOS is 32 contiguous 0s. RLOS is cleared upon
detecting an average pulse density of at least 12.5% (occurring during a period of
114 bits starting with the receipt of a pulse, and where no occurrences of 100/32
contiguous 0s are detected).
The RLOS real-time status is available in ALM1, and the interrupt is available
in ISR7. The XMTR can be configured to automatically generate an Alarm
Indication Signal (AIS) in the transmit direction when RLOS is declared (see
AUTO_AIS [TALM; addr 075].

If the line rate is T1 [T1/E1N; addr 001], the criteria for Receive Alarm Indication
Signal (RAIS) is the reception of 4 or fewer 0s in a period of 3 ms (4632 bits), and
the assertion of RLOF. If the line rate is E1, RAIS is set when 2 consecutive
double frames each contain 2 or fewer 0s out of 512 bits and FAS alignment is
lost [FRED; addr 049]. RAIS real-time status is available in ALM1; RAIS
interrupt is available in ISR7.
2.4.5.5 Yellow Alarm
The criteria for Yellow Alarm (YEL) is described in Table 3-13, Receive Yellow
Alarm Set/Clear Criteria. YEL real-time status is available in ALM1; YEL

A SEF is reported when the receive signal does not meet the requirements of
ANSI T1.231. SEF real-time status is available in ALM3. A 2-bit counter is also

2.4.6 Test Pattern Receiver
The test pattern receiver circuitry can sync on framed or unframed PRBS patterns
and count bit errors. This feature is particularly useful for system diagnostics,
production testing, and test equipment applications. The PRBS patterns available
include 2E11-1, 2E15-1, 2E20-1, and 2E23-1. Each pattern can optionally
include Zero Code Suppression (ZCS).
The Receive Test Pattern Configuration register [RPATT; addr 041] controls
the test pattern receiver circuit. BSTART control bit (in RPATT) must be active to
enable the test pattern receiver and to begin counting bit errors. RPATT controls
the PRBS pattern, ZCS setting (ZLIMIT), and T1/E1 framing (FRAMED).
RPATT selects which PRBS pattern the receiver should hunt for pattern sync.
ZLIMIT selects the maximum number of consecutive zeros the pattern is allowed
to contain. FRAMED mode informs the PRBS pattern receiver not to search for
the pattern in the frame bit in T1 mode or search for the pattern in time slot 0 (and
time slot 16 if CAS framing is selected) in E1 mode. CAS framing is selected by
setting RFRAME[3] to 1 in the Primary Control register [CR0; addr 001]. If
FRAMED is disabled, the PRBS pattern receiver searches all time slots for the
test pattern.
The RESEED bit in RPATT informs the receive PRBS sync circuit to begin a
PRBS pattern search. Once the search begins, any additional writes to RESEED
restarts the pattern sync search at a different point in the pattern. The time to sync
depends on the pattern and number of bit errors in the pattern.
Pattern sync is reported (when found) in PSYNC status of the Pattern Interrupt
Status register [ISR0; addr 00B]. After pattern sync is found, the PRBS Pattern
Error counter [BERR; addr 058 and 059] begins counting bit errors detected on
the incoming pattern, provided that BSTART remains active. Error counting stops
if the BSTART bit is cleared. BERR counter is reset to 0 after every read, or
latched on every ONESEC interrupt as selected by LATCH_CNT [addr 046]. An
interrupt is available to indicate the BERR counter overflowed in ISR4.

2.4.7 Receive Framing
Two framers are in the receive data stream: an offline framer and an online frame
status monitor. The offline framer recovers receive frame alignment; the online
framer monitors frame alignment patterns and recovers multiframe alignment in
E1 modes. Frame and multiframe synchronization criteria used by the framers
and monitoring criteria of the online framer are selected in RFRAME[3:0] of the
Primary Control register [CR0; addr 001].
Receive frame synchronization is initiated by the online framer’s activation of
the Receive Loss of Frame (RLOF) status bit in the Alarm 1 Status register
[ALM1; addr 047]. The RLOF criteria is set in the RLOFA, RLOFB, RLOFC,
and RLOFD bits of the Receiver Configuration register [RCR01; addr 040]. The
online framer supports the following LOF criteria for T1: 2 out of 4, 2 out of 5,
and 2 out of 6. For E1, the online framer supports 3 out of 3, with or without 915
out of 1000 CRC errors.
Once RLOF is asserted, the offline framer automatically starts searching the
receive data stream for a new frame alignment, provided that receive framing is
enabled [RABORT; addr 040]. If receive framing is disabled, the offline framer
does not automatically search for the frame alignment, but waits for a reframe
command [RFORCE; addr 040] to start a frame alignment search. If RLOF
integration is enabled [RLOF_INTEG; addr 045] the RLOF status [ALM1;
addr 047] and RLOF interrupt status [ISR7; addr 004] is integrated for 2.0 to

Description
Basic Frame Alignment (BFA) is recovered when the following search criteria are satisfied:
• FAS pattern (0011011) is found in frame N.
• Frame N+1 contains bit 2 equal to 1.
• Frame N+2 also contains FAS pattern (0011011).
During FAS-only modes, BFA is recovered when the following search criteria are satisfied:
• FAS pattern (0011011) is found in frame N.
• No mimics of the FAS pattern are present in frame N+1.
• FAS pattern (0011011) is found in frame N+2.
NOTE(S): If FAS pattern is not found in frame N+2, or if FAS mimic is found in frame N+1, the search restarts in
frame N+2.
Loss of FAS frame alignment (FRED) is declared when 1 of the following criteria is met:
• Three consecutive FAS pattern errors are detected when the FAS pattern consists of a 7-bit (x0011011)
pattern in FAS frames, and if FS_NFAS is also active [addr 045], the FAS pattern includes bit 2 of NFAS
frames.
• Loss of MFAS (MRED) is due to 915 or more CRC errors out of 1000.
• Failure to locate two valid MFAS patterns within 8 ms after BFA.
NOTE(S): In all cases, FRED causes next search for FAS alignment to begin 1 bit after the current FAS location.
BSLIP
FAS Bit Slip Enable. Applicable only for Dutch PTT national applications. If BSLIP is enabled, the online framer is
allowed to change RX timebase by ±1 bit when a 1-bit FAS pattern slip is detected. BSLIP does not affect the offline
framer's search criteria.
MFAS
CRC4 Multiframe Alignment is recovered when the following search criteria are satisfied:
• BFA is recovered, identifying FAS and NFAS frames.
• Within 8 ms after BFA, bit 1 of NFAS frames contains two MFAS patterns (001011xx). The second MFAS
must be aligned with respect to first MFAS, but the second MFAS pattern is not necessarily received in
consecutive frames.
• Within 8 ms after BFA, bit 1 of NFAS frames contains the second MFAS pattern (001011xx), aligned to first
MFAS.
Loss of MFAS alignment (MRED) declared when 1 of the following criteria is met:
• 915 or more CRC4 errors out of 1000 (submultiframe) blocks.
• Loss of FAS (FRED).
NOTE(S): If Disable 915 CRC Reframe is set [RLOFD; addr 040], then MRED is activated only by FRED.
CAS
CAS Multiframe Alignment is recovered when the following search criteria are satisfied:
• BFA is recovered, identifying TS0 through TS31.
• MAS (0000xxxx) multiframe alignment signal pattern is found in the first 4 bits of TS16, and 8 bits of TS16
in preceding frame contains non-0 value.
Loss of CAS alignment (SRED) is declared when 1 of the following criteria is met:
• Two consecutive MAS pattern errors are detected.
• TS16 contains all 0s in 2 multiframes (32 consecutive frames).
• Loss of FAS (FRED).
FT Only
Terminal frame alignment is recovered when the following occurs:
The first valid Ft pattern (1010) is found in 12 alternate F-bit locations (3 ms), where F-bits are separated by 193
bits.
During Ft-only mode, loss of frame alignment (FRED) is declared when the number of Ft bit errors detected meets
selected loss of frame criteria [RLOFA–RLOFC; addr 040].

Description
Superframe alignment is recovered when terminal frame alignment is recovered, identifying Ft bits.
Depends on SF submode: if JYEL, only Ft bits are used; Fs bits are ignored. If no JYEL, SF pattern (001110) found
in Fs bits.
During any SF mode, loss of frame alignment (FRED) is declared when the number of frame errors detected, either
Ft or Fs bit errors, meets selected loss of frame criteria [RLOFA–RLOFC; addr 040]. FS_NFAS [addr 045]
determines whether Fs bits are included in error count.
SLC
Superframe alignment is recovered when
• Terminal frame alignment is recovered, identifying Ft bits.
• SLC pattern (refer to Table A-3, SLC-96 Fs Bit Contents) is found in 16 of 36 Fs bits, according to Bellcore
TR-TSY-000008.
During SLC modes without FSLOF, loss of frame alignment (FRED) is declared when the number of Ft bit errors
detected meets selected reframe criteria [RLOFA–RLOFC; addr 040].
FSLOF
FSLOF instructs the online framer to monitor 16 of 36 Fs bits (SLC multiframe pattern) for loss of frame alignment
criteria. FS_NFAS [addr 045] must also be set to include Fs bits in loss of frame. FSLOF does not affect the offline
framer's search criteria.
ESF
Extended Superframe alignment is recovered when
A valid FPS candidate is located (001011). Candidate bits are each separated by 772 digits and are received
without pattern errors.
If there is only 1 valid FPS candidate and the mode is 1 of the following:
No CRC mode—align to FPS, regardless of CRC6 comparison.
Mimic CRC mode—align to FPS, regardless of CRC6 comparison.
Force CRC mode—align to FPS, only if CRC6 is correct.
If there are two or more valid FPS candidates and the mode is 1 of the following:
No CRC mode—do not align (INVALID status).
Mimic CRC mode—align to first FPS with correct CRC6.

During any ESF mode, loss of frame alignment (FRED) is declared when:
Number of FPS pattern errors detected meets selected loss of frame criteria [RLOFA–RLOFC; addr 040].
T1DM
During T1DM mode, frame alignment is recovered in two steps:
1. A 6-bit T1DM pattern (10111xx0) is found.
2. A valid F-bit pattern (Ft, Fs, or FPS) is found in the first six consecutive frames of the 12-frame cycle aligned to
the T1DM pattern.
During T1DM mode, loss of frame alignment (FRED) is declared when the number of frame errors detected, either
Ft, Fs, or T1DM errors, meets selected loss of frame criteria [RLOFA–RLOFC; addr 040].
Fs_NFAS; addr 046] does not affect T1DM mode.
NOTE(S): To meet Bellcore TA-TSY-000278, the processor must select SF + T1DM framer mode, RLOFC (2 of 6)
reframe criteria, and FS_NFAS inactive.

2.4 Receiver
Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
The offline framer is shared between the RCVR and XMTR and can search in
only one direction at any time. Consequently, the processor arbitrates which
direction is searched by enabling the reframe request (RLOF and TLOF) for that
direction.
The offline framer waits until the current search is complete (see [FSTAT; addr
017]) before checking for pending LOF reframe requests. If both online framers
have pending reframe requests, the offline framer aligns to the direction opposite
from that which was most recently searched. For example, if TLOF is pending at
the conclusion of a receive search which timed out without finding alignment, the
offline framer switches to search in the transmit direction. The TLOF switchover
is prevented in the preceding example if the processor asserts TABORT to mask
the transmit reframe request. TABORT does not affect TLOF status reporting. For
applications that frame in only 1 direction, the opposite direction should be
masked. If, at the conclusion of a receive search, TLOF status is asserted but
masked by TABORT, the offline framer continues to search in the receive
direction. For applications that frame in both directions, the processor can allow
the offline framer to automatically arbitrate among pending reframe requests, or
can elect to manually control reframe precedence. An example of manual control
follows:
1

Initialize RABORT = 1 and TABORT = 1
Enable RLOF and TLOF interrupts
Read clear pending ISR interrupts
Release RABORT = 0
Call LOF Service Routine if either RLOF or TLOF interrupt;
{
(check current LOF status [ALM1, 2; addr 047, 048]
If RLOF recovered and TLOF lost
—Assert RABORT = 1
—Release TABORT = 0
If RLOF lost or TLOF recovered
—Assert TABORT = 1
—Release RABORT = 0
}
The status of the offline framer can be monitored for diagnostic purposes
using the Offline Framer Status register [FSTAT; addr 017]. The register reports
the following:
•
•
•
•
•
NOTE:
N8370DSE
whether the offline framer is looking at the receive or transmit data streams
(RX/TXN)
whether the framer is actively searching for a frame alignment (ACTIVE)
whether the framer found multiple framing candidates (TIMEOUT)
whether the framer found frame sync (FOUND)
whether the framer found no frame alignment candidates (INVALID)
These status bits are updated in real time and might be active for only very
short (1-bit) periods of time.

2.4.8 External Receive Data Link
The External Data Link (DL3) provides signal access to any bit(s) in any time slot
of all frames, odd frames, or even frames, including T1 framing bits. Pin access to
the DL3 receiver is provided through RDLCKO and RDLO. These two pins serve
as the DL3 clock output (RDLCKO) and data output (RDLO). The data link
mode of the pins is selected using the RDL_IO bit in the Programmable
Input/Output register [PIO; addr 018].
Control of DL3 is provided in two registers: External Data Link Channel
[DL3_TS; add 015] and External Data Link Bit [DL3_BIT; addr 016]. RDL3 is
set up by selecting the bit(s) (DL3_BIT) and time slot [TS[4:0]; addr 015] to be
monitored, and then enabling the data link [DL3EN; addr 015], which starts the
RDLCKO and TDLCKO gapped clock outputs that mark the selected bits, as
shown in Figure 2-12.

2.4.9 Sa-Byte Receive Buffers
The Sa-Byte buffers give read access to the odd frame Sa bits in E1 mode. Five
receive Sa-Byte buffers [RSA4 to RSA8; addr 05B to 05F] are available. As a
group, the buffers are updated every multiframe from Sa-bits received in TS0.
This gives the processor up to 2 ms after the receive multiframe interrupt [RMF;
addr 008] occurs to read any Sa-Byte buffer before the buffer content changes.
2.4.10 Receive Data Link
The RCVR contains two independent data link controllers (DL1 and DL2) and a
Bit-Oriented Protocol (BOP) transceiver. DL1 and DL2 can be programmed to
send and receive HDLC formatted messages in the Message-Oriented Protocol
(MOP) mode. Alternatively, unformatted serial data can be sent and received over
any combination of bits within a selected time slot or F-bit channel. The BOP
transceiver can preemptively receive and transmit BOP messages, such as ESF
Yellow Alarm.

2.4.10.1 Data Link
Controllers
The Bt8370 and Bt8375 provide two internal data link controllers, and the Bt8376
provides a single controller (DL1). DL1 and DL2 control two serial data channels
operating at multiples of 4 kbps—up to the full 64 kbps time slot rate—by
selecting a combination of bits from odd, even, or all frames. Both DL1 and DL2
support the following: ESF Facilities Data Link (FDL), SLC-96 Data Link,
Sa Data Link, Common Channel Signaling (CCS), Signaling System #7 (SS7),
ISDN LAPD channels, Digital Multiplexed Interface (DMI) Signaling in TS24,
ETSI V.5.1 and V.5.2 control channels. DL1 and DL2 each contain a 64-byte
receive buffer that functions as either programmable length circular buffers or
full-length data FIFOs.
Both data link controllers are configured identically, except for their offset in
the register map. The DL1 address range is 0A4 to 0AE, and the DL2 address
range is 0AF to 0B9. From this point on, DL1 is used to describe the operation of
both data link controllers.
DL1 is enabled using the DL1 Control register [DL1_CTL; addr 0A6]. DL1
does not function until it is enabled. DL1_CTL also controls the format of the
data. The following data formats [DL1[1:0]; addr 0A6] are supported on the data
link: Frame Check Sequence (FCS), non-FCS, Pack8, or Pack6. FCS and
non-FCS are HDLC formatted messages. Pack8 and Pack6 are unformatted
messages with 8 bits per FIFO access, or 6 bits per FIFO access, respectively
(see Table 2-4).

The time slot and bit selection are performed through the DL1 Time Slot
Enable register [DL1_TS; addr 0A4] and the DL1 Bit Enable register [DL1_BIT;
addr 0A5]. The DL1 Time Slot Enable register selects the frames and time slot to
extract the data link. The frame select tells the receiver to extract the time slot in
all frames, odd frames, even frames. The time slot enable is a value between 0 and
31 that selects which time slot to extract. The DL1 Bit Enable register selects
which bits are extracted in the selected time slot. Refer to Table 2-4 for the
common frame, time slot, time slot bits, and modes used.
The Receive Data Link FIFO #1 [RDL1; addr 0A8] is 64 bytes long. The
Receive FIFO is formatted differently than the transmit FIFO. The Receive FIFO
contains not only received messages, but also a status byte preceding each
message that specifies the size of the received message and the status of that
message. The message status reports if the message was aborted, received with a
correct/incorrect FCS, or continued. A continued message means the byte count
represents a partial message. Once all message bytes are read, the FIFO contains
another status byte. Message bytes can be differentiated from status bytes in the
FIFO by reading the RSTAT1 bit in the RDL #1 Status register [RDL1_STAT;
addr 0A9]. RSTAT1 reports whether the next byte read from the FIFO is a status
byte or some number of message bytes.
The receive data link controller has a versatile microprocessor interface that
can be tuned to the system’s CPU bandwidth. For systems with 1 CPU dedicated
to 1 Bt8370, the data link status can be polled. For systems where a single CPU
controls multiple Bt8370s, the data link can be interrupt-driven. See Figures 2-13
and 2-14 for a high-level description of polling and interrupt driven Receive Data
Link Controller software.

2.0 Circuit Description
2.4 Receiver
Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
Using the receive FIFO, an entire block of data can be received with very little
microprocessor interrupt overhead. Block transfers from the FIFO can be
controlled by the Near Full Threshold in the FIFO Fill Control register
[RDL1_FFC; addr 0A7]. The Near Full Threshold is a user-programmable value
between 0 and 63. This value represents the maximum number of bytes that can
be placed into the receive FIFO without the near full being declared. Once the
threshold is set, the Near Full Status (RNEAR1) in RDL #1 Status [RDL1_STAT;
addr 0A9] is asserted when the Near Full Threshold is reached. An interrupt,
RNEAR, in Data Link 1 Interrupt Status [ISR2; addr 009], is also available to
mark this event.
The Bt8370/8375/8376 uses a hierarchical interrupt structure, with 1 top-level
interrupt cause register directing software to the lower levels (see Interrupt
Request register; addr 003). Of all the interrupt sources, the two most significant
bandwidth requirements are signaling and data link interrupts. Each data link
controller has a top-level interrupt status register that reports data link operations
(see Data Link 1 and 2 Interrupt Status registers [ISR2, ISR1; addr 009 and 00A).
The processor uses a two-step interrupt scheme for the data link:
1. It reads the Interrupt Request register.
2. It uses that register value to read the corresponding Data Link Interrupt
Status register.
2.4.10.2 RBOP Receiver
The Receive Bit-Oriented Protocol (RBOP) receiver receives BOP messages,
including the ESF Yellow Alarm, which consists of repeated 16-bit patterns with
an embedded 6-bit codeword as shown in this example:
0xxxxxx0 11111111 (received right to left)
[543210] RBOP = 6-bit codeword
The BOP message channel is configured to operate over the same channel
selected by Data Link #1 [DL1_TS; addr 0A4]. It must be configured to operate
over the FDL channel so RBOP can detect priority, command, and response
codeword messages according to ANSI T1.403, Section 9.4.1.
RBOP is enabled using the RBOP_START bit in Bit Oriented Protocol
Transceiver register [BOP; address 0A0]. BOP codewords are received in the
Receive BOP Codeword register [RBOP; addr 0A2], which contains the 6-bit
codeword, a valid flag (RBOP_VALID), and a lost flag (RBOP_LOST). The valid
flag is set each time a new codeword is put in RBOP, and is cleared on reading the
codeword. The lost flag indicates a new codeword overwrote a valid codeword
before the processor read it.
The BOP receiver can be configured to update RBOP using a message length
filter and integration filter. The receive BOP message length filter [RBOP_LEN;
addr 0A40] sets the number of successive identical messages required before
RBOP is updated. RBOP_LEN can be set to 1, 10, and 25 messages. When
enabled, the RBOP integration filter [RBOP_INTEG; add 0A0] requires receipt
of two identical consecutive 16-bit patterns, without gaps or errors between
patterns, to validate the first codeword. RBOP integration is needed to meet the
codeword detection criteria while receiving 1 1/1000 bit error ratio.
The real-time status of the codeword reception can be monitored using the
RBOP_ACTIVE bit in the BOP Status register [BOP_STAT; addr 0A3]. Each
time a message is put in RBOP register, an interrupt is generated, and the RBOP
bit is set in the Data Link 2 Interrupt Status register [ISR1; addr 00A].

2.5 Receive System Bus
The Receive System Bus (RSB) provides a high-speed, serial interface between
the RCVR and the system bus. The system bus is compatible with the Mitel
ST-Bus, the Siemens PEB Bus, and the AT&T CHI Bus, and directly connects to
other CONEXANT serial TDM bus devices with no need for any external
circuitry.
The RSB has the following seven pins: Receive System Bus Clock (RSBCKI),
Receive PCM Data (RPCMO), Receive Signaling Data (RSIGO), Receive Frame
Sync (RFSYNC), Receive Multiframe Sync (RMSYNC), Receive Time Slot
Indicator (RINDO), and Signaling Freeze (SIGFRZ). Figure 2-15 illustrates the
relationship between these signals. (Pin definitions are provided in
Table 1-1, Hardware Signal Definitions.) RSB data outputs can be configured to
output on the rising or falling edge of RSBCKI. See the Receive System Bus

Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
The RSB supports five system bus rates (MHz): 1.536, 1.544, 2.048, 4.096,
and 8.192. The T1 rate without a framing bit is 1.536 MHz, consisting of 24 time

consisting of 32 time slots. Twice the E1 rate is 4.096 MHz, consisting of 64 time
slots. Four times the E1 rate is 8.192 MHz, consisting of 128 time slots. The
4.096 and 8.192 MHz bus modes contain multiple bus members (A, B, C, D)
which allow multiple T1/E1 signals to share the same system bus. This is done by
interleaving the time slots to a maximum of four Bt8370s without external
circuitry (see Figures 2-15 and 2-17). The system bus rate is independent of the
line rate and must be selected using the System Bus Interface Configuration

sources: Receive System Bus Clock Input (RSBCKI), Transmit System Bus

Adapter Output (CLADO). The RSB clock selection is made through the Clock
Input Mux register [CMUX; addr 01A]. The system bus clock can also be
configured to run at twice the data rate by setting the X2CLK bit in the System
Bus Interface Configuration register [SBI_CR; addr 0D0].
RFSYNC and RMSYNC can be individually configured as inputs or outputs
[PIO; addr 018]. RFSYNC and RMSYNC must be configured as inputs when the
RSB timebase is slaved to the system bus [SBI_OE; addr 0D0]. RFSYNC and
RMSYNC must be configured as outputs when the RSB timebase is master of the
system bus. RFSYNC and RMSYNC can also be configured as rising or falling
edge outputs [RSB_CR; addr 0D1]. In addition to having RFSYNC and
RMSYNC active on the frame boundary, a programmable offset is available to
select the time slot and bit offset in the frame. See the Receive System Bus Sync

2.5.2 Slip Buffer
The 64-byte Receive PCM Slip Buffer [RSLIP; addr 1C0 to 1FF] resynchronizes
the Receiver Clock (RXCLK) and data (RNRZ) to the Receive System Bus Clock
(RSBCK) and data (RPCMO). RSLIP acts like an elastic store by clocking RNRZ
data in with RXCLK and clocking PCM data out on RPCMO with RSBCK.
If the system bus rate is greater than the line rate (i.e., T1 line rate and E1
system bus rate), there is a mismatched number of time slots. The mapping of line
rate time slots to system bus time slots is done by time slot assignments with the
ASSIGN bit in the System Bus Per-Channel Control register [SBC0 to SBC31;
addr 0E0 to 0FF]. ASSIGN selects which system bus time slots are used to
transport line rate time slots. Time slot mapping is done by mapping the first line
rate time slot to the first assigned system bus time slot. For example, T1 to E1
mapping might make every fourth time slot unassigned (i.e., 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23,
27, 31); see Figure 2-19. This distribution of unassigned time slots averages out
the idle time slots and optimizes the slip buffer use.
NOTE:
All line rate time slots must be assigned to a system bus time slot.

RSLIP has four modes of operation: Two-Frame Normal, 64-bit Elastic,
Two-Frame Short, and Bypass. RSLIP mode is set in the Receive System Bus
Configuration register [RSB_CR; addr 0D1]. RSLIP is organized as a 2-frame
buffer. This allows MPU access to frame data, regardless of the RSLIP mode
selected. Each byte offset into the frame buffer is a different time slot: offset 0 in
RSLIP is always time slot 0 (TS0), offset 1 is always TS1, and so on. The slip
buffer has processor read/write access.

In Normal mode, the slip buffer total depth is two 193-bit frames (T1) or two
256-bit frames (E1). Data is written to the slip buffer using RXCLK and read
from the slip buffer using RSBCK. If a slight rate difference between the clocks
occurs, the slip buffer changes from its initial condition—approximately half
full—by either adding or removing frames. If RXCLK writes to the slip buffer
faster than RSBCK reads the data, the buffer fills up. When the slip buffer in
Normal mode is full, an entire frame of data is deleted. Conversely, if RSBCK
reads the slip buffer faster than RXCLK writes the data, the buffer becomes
empty. When the slip buffer in Normal mode is empty, an entire frame of data is
duplicated. When an entire frame is deleted or duplicated it is known as a Frame
Slip (FSLIP), which is always 1 full frame of data. The FSLIP status is reported in
the Slip Buffer Status register [SSTAT; addr 0D9]. In T1 mode, the F-bit is treated
as part of the frame and can slip accordingly.
In 64-bit Elastic mode, the slip buffer total depth is 64 bits, and the initial
throughput delay is 32 bits, half of the total depth. Similar to Normal mode,
Elastic mode allows the system bus to operate at any of the programmable rates,
independent of the line rate. The advantage of this mode over the Normal mode is
that throughput delay is reduced from 1 frame to an average of 32 bits, and the
output multiframe always retains its alignment with respect to the output data.
The disadvantage of this mode is handling the full and empty buffer conditions.
In Elastic mode, an empty or full buffer condition causes an Uncontrolled Slip
(USLIP). Unlike an FSLIP, a USLIP is of unknown size within the range of
1 to 256 bits of data. The USLIP status is reported in SSTAT.
The Two-Frame Short mode combines the depth of the Normal mode with the
throughput delay of the Elastic mode. The Two-Frame Short mode begins in the
Elastic mode with a 32-bit initial throughput delay, and switches to the Normal
mode when the buffer becomes empty or full; thereafter the Two-Frame Short and
Normal mode perform identically. If the slip buffer is full (two frames) in the
Two-Frame Short mode, an FSLIP is reported, after which the slip buffer and
Two-Frame mode perform identically.
In Bypass mode, data is immediately clocked through RSLIP from the RCVR
to RSB, and RCKO internally replaces the system bus clock.
2.5.3 Signaling Buffer
The 32-byte Receive Signaling Buffer [RSIG; addr 1A0 to 1BF] stores a single
multiframe of signaling data. Each byte offset into RSIG contains signaling data
for a different time slot: offset 0 stores TS0 signaling data, offset 1 stores TS1
signaling data and so on. The signaling data is stored in the least significant 4 bits
of RSIG. The output signaling data is stored in the most significant 4 bits of
RSIG. Similar to RSLIP, RSIG buffer has read/write processor access to read or
overwrite signaling information. RMSYNC extracts robbed-bit signaling from
RSIG onto RPCMO; RFSYNC extracts ABCD signaling from RSIG onto
RSIGO.
The RSIG buffer has the following configurable features:
• transparent, robbed-bit signaling
• signaling freeze
• debounce signaling
• unicode detection
Each feature is available in the Receive Signaling Configuration register
[RSIG; addr 0D7]. See the registers section for more details.

2.5.4 Signaling Stack
The Receive Signaling Stack (RSTACK) allows the processor to quickly extract
signaling changes without polling every channel. RSTACK is activated on a
per-channel basis by setting the Received Signaling Stack (SIG_STK) control bit
in the Receive Per-Channel Control register [RPC0 to RPC31; addr 180 to 19F].
The signaling stack stores the channel and the A, B, C, and D signaling bits that
changed in the last multiframe. The stack has the capacity to store signaling
changes for all 24 (T1) or 30 (E1) PCM channels.
At the end of any multiframe where 1 or more ABCD signaling values have
changed, an interrupt occurs with RSIG set in the Timer Interrupt Status register
[ISR3; addr 008]. The processor then reads the Receive Signaling Stack [STACK;
addr 0DA] twice to retrieve the channel number (WORD = 0) and the new ABCD
value (WORD = 1), and continues to read from STACK until the MORE bit in
STACK is cleared, indicating the RSIG stack is empty.
Optionally, the processor can select RSIG interrupt (SET_RSIG; addr 0D7) to
occur at each multiframe boundary in T1 modes, regardless of signaling change.
This mode provides an interrupt aligned to the multiframe to read the RSIG buffer
rather than RSTACK.
2.5.5 Embedded Framing
Embedded Framing mode bit (EMBED; addr 0D0) instructs the RSB to embed
framing bits on RPCMO while in T1 mode.
The G.802 Embedded mode supports ITU-T Recommendation G.802, which
describes how 24 T1 time slots and 1 framing bit (193 bits) are mapped to 32 E1
time slots (256 bits). This mapping is done by leaving TS0 and TS16 unassigned,
by storing the 24 T1 time slots in TS1 to TS15 and TS17 to TS25, and by storing
the frame bit in bit 1 of TS26 (see Figure 2-20). TS26 through TS31 are also
unassigned.

2.6 Clock Rate Adapter
The full function Clock Rate Adapter is included in all Bt8370 and Bt8375
devices. In the Bt8376, the CLADO output is not implemented.
The Clock Rate Adapter (CLAD) illustrated in Figures 2-21 and 2-22 uses an
input clock reference at a particular frequency (range 8 kHz to 16,384 kHz) to
synthesize an output clock (CLADO and JCLK) at a different frequency (range
1024 kHz to 16,384 kHz). The CLAD also controls the read or write pointers of
the elastic store by synthesizing a Jitter-attenuated Line rate Clock (JCLK); thus,
it is an integral part of the Jitter Attenuator (JAT). The CLAD input clock jitter
tolerance and jitter transfer functions are illustrated in Figures 2-9 and 2-10.
These diagrams are illustrated for various programmed loop filter gain values
(LFGAIN; addr 090).

Tables 2-8 and 2-9 list examples of program values for selecting various
CLADO and CLADI frequencies. Typically, only 1 selection is needed for a given
system configuration. The processor reconfigures the timing reference [CEN;
addr 090] as needed to respond to system conditions where the primary reference
is unavailable.
2.6.1 Configuring the CLAD Registers
Step 1
Choose a CLADO output frequency. Table 2-8 lists all possible CLADO output
clock frequencies. For system bus applications, valid CLADO frequencies are
1544 kHz, 1536 kHz, 2048 kHz, 4096 kHz, and 8192 kHz.
Step 2
Configure OSEL and XSEL from Table 2-8. OSEL and XSEL together select the
CLADO output frequency. In some cases, there are two options for generating the
desired output signal. Selecting an option with both T1/E1 and XSEL settings
equal to don’t-care (X in the table) allows greater flexibility in subsequent options
below, and also results in a fixed CLADO frequency when switching framer
operation between T1 and E1 modes.

If CLADI is the timing reference source (CEN = 1), select the desired CLAD
timing reference frequency from Table 2-9. If CEN = 0, the CLAD reference is
RXCLK (line rate), TXCLK (line rate), or free run (REFCKI) and Table 2-9 is
not applicable.

Step 4
Configure RSCALE, VSCALE, VSEL, and XSEL from Table 2-9 which contains
configuration examples. Again, in some cases, two or more configurations are
possible for each frequency option. Many other RSCALE and VSCALE values
are also applicable. RSCALE is a programmable frequency divider which scales
the CLADI clock frequency before it is applied to the CLAD phase detector,
CPHASE. Similarly, VSCALE scales the CLAD internal feedback clock,
CLADV. These two clocks must have the same frequency at the phase detector’s
input for the CLAD loop to properly lock. The rule is
(CLADI Reference freq) ÷ (RSCALE factor) = (CLADV freq) ÷ (VSCALE factor).

The TSB supports five system bus rates (MHz): 1.536, 1.544, 2.048, 4.096,
and 8.192. The T1 rate, with 24 time slots and without framing bits, is
1.536 MHz. The T1 rate with framing bits is 1.544 MHz. The E1 rate, with
32 time slots, is 2.048 MHz. The 4.096 MHz rate is twice the E1 rate, with
64 time slots. The 8.192 MHz rate is 4 times the E1 rate, with 128 time slots.
The 4.096 and 8.192 MHz bus modes contain multiple bus members (A, B, C,
and D), of which 1 bus member is selected by the SBI [3:0] bits in the System Bus
Interface Configuration register [SBI_CR; 0D0]. See Figures 2-25 and 2-25.
The system bus rate is independent of the line rate and must be selected using the
System Bus Interface Configuration register.

2.7 Transmit System Bus
Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
2.7.1 Timebase
The TSB timebase synchronizes TPCMI, TFSYNC, TMSYNC, and TINDO with
the Transmit System Bus Clock (TSBCK). The TSBCK can be slaved to five
different clock sources: Transmit Clock Input (TCKI), Transmit System Bus
Clock Input (TSBCKI), Receive System Bus Clock Input (RSBCKI), Clock Rate
Adapter Input (CLADI), or Clock Rate Adapter Output (CLADO).
NOTE:
The CLADO signal is not available in the Bt8376 device.
The TSB clock selection is made through the Clock Input Mux register
[CMUX; addr 01A]. TCKI is automatically selected when the transmit slip buffer
is bypassed. The system bus clock can also be configured to run at twice the data
rate by setting the X2CLK bit in the System Bus Interface Configuration register
[SBI_CR; addr 0D0] when TSLIP is not in Bypass mode.
TFSYNC and TMSYNC can be individually configured as inputs or outputs
[PIO; addr 018]. TFSYNC and TMSYNC should be configured as inputs when
the TSB timebase is slaved to the system bus, when the transmit framer is
disabled [TABORT; addr 071], or when TSB carries embedded T1 framing.
TFSYNC and TMSYNC should be configured as outputs when the TSB timebase
is master of the system bus, or when the transmit framer is enabled. TFSYNC and
TMSYNC can also be configured as rising or falling edge outputs [TSB_CR; addr
0D4]. In addition to having TFSYNC and TMSYNC active on the frame
boundary, a programmable offset is available to select the time slot and bit offset
in the frame. See Transmit System Bus Sync time slot Offset [TSYNC_TS; addr
0D6] and Transmit System Bus Sync Bit Offset [TSYNC_BIT; addr 0D5].
2.7.2 Slip Buffer
The 64-byte Transmit PCM Slip Buffer [TSLIP; addr 140 to 17F] resynchronizes
the Transmit System Bus Clock (TSBCK) and data (TPCMI) to the Transmit
Clock (TXCLK) and data (TNRZ). TSLIP acts like an elastic store by clocking
PCM data in on TPCMI with TSBCK, and by clocking TNRZ data out with
TXCLK. TPCMI can be configured to sample on the rising or falling edge of
TSBCKI. See the Transmit System Bus Configuration register [TSB_CR; addr
0D4].
TSLIP has four modes of operation: Two-Frame Normal, 64-bit Elastic,
Two-Frame Short, and Bypass. TSLIP mode is set in the Transmit System Bus
Configuration register [TSB_CR; addr 0D4]. It is organized as a two-frame
buffer, with high-frame and low-frame buffers. This allows MPU access to frame
data, regardless of the TSLIP mode selected. Each byte offset into the frame
buffer is a different time slot: offset 0 in TSLIP is always time slot 0 (TS0),
offset 1 is always TS1, and so on. The slip buffer has processor read/write access.

In Normal mode, the slip buffer total depth is two 193-bit frames (T1), or two

the slip buffer using TXCLK. If there is a slight rate difference between the two
clocks, the slip buffer changes from its initial condition—approximately half
full—by either adding or removing frames. If TSBCK writes to the slip buffer
faster than TCKI reads the data, the buffer becomes full. When the slip buffer in
Normal mode is full, an entire frame of data is deleted. Conversely, if TXCLK is
reading the slip buffer at a faster rate than TSBCK is writing the data, the buffer
eventually empties. When the slip buffer in Normal mode is empty, an entire
frame of data is duplicated. When an entire frame is deleted or duplicated, it is
known as a Frame Slip (FSLIP). An FSLIP is always 1 full frame of data. The
FSLIP status is reported in the Slip Buffer Status register [SSTAT; addr 0D9].
In 64-bit Elastic mode, the slip buffer total depth is 64 bits, and the initial
throughput delay is 32 bits, or half of the total depth. Similar to Normal mode,
Elastic mode allows the system bus to operate at any of the programmable bus
rates, independent of the line rate. The advantage of this mode over the
Two-Frame mode is that throughput delay is reduced from 1 frame to an average
of 32 bits, and the transmit multiframe can retain its alignment with respect to the
transmit data. The disadvantage of this mode is handling the full and empty buffer
conditions. In 64-bit Elastic mode, an empty or full buffer condition causes an
Uncontrolled Slip (USLIP). Unlike an FSLIP, a USLIP is of unknown size,
ranging from 1 to 256 bits of data. The USLIP status is reported in SSTAT.
The Two-Frame Short mode combines the depth of the Normal mode with the
throughput delay of the Elastic mode. This mode begins in Elastic mode with a
32-bit initial throughput delay, and switches to Normal modes when the buffer is
empty or full; thereafter, the Two-Frame Short and Normal modes perform
identically. If the slip buffer is full (two frames) in the Two-Frame Short and
Normal modes, an FSLIP is reported; thereafter, the slip buffer performs exactly
like Normal mode.
In Bypass mode, data is clocked through TSLIP from the TSB to the XMTR
using TXCLK as selected by the TCKI input clock mux.
2.7.3 Signaling Buffer
The 32-byte Transmit Signaling Buffer [TSIG; addr 120–13F] stores a single
multiframe of signaling data input from the TSIGI pin and is updated as each time
slot is received in every TSB frame. Each byte offset into TSIG represents a
different time slot for signaling data: offset 0 stores TS0 signaling data, offset
1 stores TS1 signaling data, and so on. The signaling data is stored in the least
significant 4 bits of the signaling buffer. Similar to TSLIP, TSIG has read/write
processor access for accessing or overwriting signaling information. The signaling
buffer uses TFSYNC to identify the frame boundaries in the TSIGI data stream.

2.7.4 Transmit Framing
The transmit data stream has two framing functions: offline framer and an online
framer. Figure 2-27 illustrates these functions. The offline framer recovers the
transmit frame alignment (TFSYNC). The online framer monitors the frame
alignment found by the offline framer and recovers multiframe alignment
(TMSYNC).
Transmit frame resynchronization is initiated by activating the Transmit Loss
of Frame (TLOF) status bit in Alarm 2 status [ALM2; addr 048] register by the
online framer. The TLOF criteria is set in the TLOFA, TLOFB, and TLOFC bits
of the Transmitter Configuration register [TCR1; addr 071]. The online framer
supports the following LOF criteria for T1: 2 frame bit errors out of 4; 2 out of 5;
or 2 out of 6. For E1, it supports 3 out of 3.

2. TSB_ALIGN and TX_ALIGN located in TSB_CR (addr 0D4).
3. EMBED = 0 is only applicable if TPCMI is operating at the line rate.
When TLOF is asserted, the offline framer searches the transmit data stream
for a new frame alignment, provided transmit framing is enabled [TABORT; addr
071]. If embedded framing is enabled [EMBED; addr 0D0], the offline framer
examines the TSLIP buffer output, TNRZ, for transmit frame alignment. If
embedded framing is disabled, the offline framer examines the slip buffer input
(TPCMI) for transmit frame alignment. This case (EMBED = 0) is only applicable
if TPCMI is configured to operate at the line rate: 2,048 kbps E1, or 1,544 kbps
T1. If transmit framing is disabled, the offline framer waits for a reframe command
[TFORCE; addr 071] before beginning frame alignment search.

2.7 Transmit System Bus
After the offline framer recovers frame alignment, the online framer monitors
TLOF and searches for multiframe alignment; the search uses the criteria defined
by the Transmit Frame mode [TFRAME; addr 070]. The online framer conducts a
multiframe alignment search each time the offline framer recovers transmit frame
alignment, as reported by high-to-low transition of transmit loss of frame status
[TLOF; addr 048]. After TLOF recovery, the online framer searches continuously
for multiframe alignment until the correct pattern sequence is located, or until
basic frame alignment is lost (TLOF goes active-high). After multiframe
alignment recovery, the online framer checks subsequent multiframes for errored
alignment patterns, but does not use those errors as part of the criteria for loss of
basic frame alignment.
NOTE:
The online framer's multiframe search status is not directly reported to the
processor, but instead is monitored by examination of transmit error status:
TMERR, TSERR, and TCERR [addr 00B]. If the system incorporates a
certain number of multiframe pattern errors (or a certain error ratio) into
the loss of transmit frame alignment criteria, the processor must count
multiframe pattern errors to determine when to force a transmit reframe
[TFORCE; addr 071].
The frame synchronization criteria used by the offline framer is set in the
TFRAME[3:0] of the Transmit Framer Configuration register [TCR0; addr 070].
(Tables 3-15 and 3-16 illustrate supported transmit framing formats. Also, see
Tables 3-17 and 3-18, Criteria for Loss/Recovery of Transmit Frame Alignment.)
The offline framer is shared between the RCVR and XMTR and can only
search in 1 direction at a time. Consequently, the host processor can manually
arbitrate between RCVR and XMTR reframe requests by manipulating the
ABORT and FORCE controls, or by allowing the framer to automatically
arbitrate LOF requests.
The offline framer waits until the current search is complete [FSTAT;
addr 017] before checking for pending LOF reframe requests. If both online
framers have pending reframe requests, the offline framer aligns to the opposite
direction of that most recently searched. For example, if TLOF is pending at the
conclusion of a receive search which timed out without finding alignment, the
offline framer switches to search in the transmit direction. The TLOF switchover
is prevented in the preceding example if the processor asserts TABORT to mask
the transmit reframe request. TABORT does not affect TLOF status reporting. For
applications that frame in only 1 direction, framing in the opposite direction must
be masked. If, at the conclusion of a receive search timeout, TLOF status is
asserted but masked by TABORT, the offline framer continues to search in the
receive direction.

An example of manual control follows:

Initialize RABORT = 1 and TABORT = 1.

{
(check current LOF status (ALMI, 2; addr 047, 048)
If RLOF recovered and TLOF lost
—Assert RABORT = 1
—Release TABORT = 0
If RLOF lost or TLOF recovered
—Assert TABORT = 1
—Release RABORT = 0
}
The status of the offline framer can be monitored using the Offline Framer
Status register [FSTAT; addr 017]. The register reports the following:
• whether the offline framer is looking at the receive or transmit data streams
(RX/TXN)
• whether the framer is actively searching for frame alignment (ACTIVE)
• whether the framer found multiple framing candidates (TIMEOUT)
• whether the framer found frame sync (FOUND)
• whether the framer found no frame alignment candidates (INVALID)
2.7.5 Embedded Framing
Embedded framing mode [EMBED; addr 0D0] instructs the transmit framer to
search TSLIP buffer output (TNRZ) for framing bits while in T1 mode, or for
MFAS and CAS in E1 mode. Embedded framing allows the transmit timebase to
align with the transmit framer multiframe alignment of the PCM signal
transported across the system bus.
The G.802 Embedded mode supports ITU-T Recommendation G.802, which
describes how 24 T1 time slots and framing bit (193 bits) are mapped to the 32 E1
time slots (256 bits): by leaving TS0 and TS16 unassigned, by storing the 24 T1
time slots in TS1 to TS15, and in TS17 to TS25, and by storing the frame bit in
Bit 1 of TS26 (see Figure 2-20).

2.8.1 External Transmit Data Link
The External Data Link (DL3) allows the system to supply externally any bits in
any time slot of all frames, odd frames, or even frames, including T1 framing bits.
Pin access to the DL3 transmitter is provided through TDLCKO and TDLI, which
serve as the TDL3 clock output (TDLCKO) and data input (TDLI). The mode of
the pins is selected using TDL_IO bit in the Programmable Input/Output register
[PIO; addr 018].
Control of DL3 format is provided in two registers: External Data Link Time
Slot [DL3_TS; addr 015] and External Data Link Bit [DL3_BIT; addr 016].
Transmit DL3 is set up by selecting the bit(s) [DL3_BIT], and time slot [TS[4:0];
addr 015] to be overwritten, and then enabling the data link [DL3EN; addr 015].
Enabling the data link starts TDLCKO for gating the NRZ data provided on
TDLI. See Figure 2-29.

2.8.2 Transmit Data Links
The XMTR contains two independent data link controllers (DL1, DL2):
a Performance Report Message (PRM) generator and a Bit-Oriented Protocol
(BOP) transceiver. DL1 and DL2 can be programmed to send and receive HDLC
formatted messages in the Message Oriented Protocol (MOP) mode, or
unformatted serial data can be sent and received in any combination of bits within
a selected time slot or F-bit channel. The PRM message generator can
automatically send 1-second performance reports. The BOP transceiver can
preemptively transmit BOP messages, such as ESF Yellow Alarm.
2.8.2.1 Data Link
Controllers
2-54
The Bt8370 and Bt8375 provide two internal data link controllers, and the Bt8376
provides a single controller. DL1 and DL2 control the serial data channels, which
operate in multiples of 4 kbps to the maximum 64 kbps time slot rate. This is done
by selecting a combination of bits from either odd, even, or all frames. Both data
link controllers support ESF Facilities Data Link (FDL), SLC-96 data link,
Sa data link, Common Channel Signaling (CCS), Signaling System #7 (SS7);
ISDN LAPD channels; Digital Multiplexed Interface (DMI) signaling in TS24;
and the latest ETSI V.51 and V.52 signaling channels. DL1 and DL2 each contain
a 64-byte transmit buffer which function either as programmable length circular
buffers in transparent (unformatted) mode, or as full-length data FIFOs in
formatted (HDLC) mode.

Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
DL1 and DL2 are configured identically, except for their offset in the register
map. The DL1 address range is 0A4 to 0AE, and the DL2 address range is 0AF to
0B9. From this point on, the DL1 is used to describe the operation of both data
link controllers. Transmit Data Link 1 (TDL1) can be viewed as having a higher
priority than Transmit Data Link 2 (TDL2) because TDL1 overwrites the primary
rate channel after TDL2. Thus, any data that TDL2 writes to the primary rate
channel can be overwritten by TDL1, if TDL1 is configured to transmit in the
same time slot as TDL2.
The TDL1 is enabled using the DL1 Control register [DL1_CTL; addr 0A6].
TDL1 does not overwrite time slot data until it is enabled. DL1_CTL also
controls the data format and the circular buffer/FIFO mode.
The following data formats [DL1[1,0]; addr 0A6] are supported on the data
link: Frame Check Sequence (FCS), non-FCS, Pack8, or Pack6. FCS and
non-FCS are HDLC-formatted messages. Pack8 and Pack6 are unformatted
messages with 8 bits per FIFO access, and 6 bits per FIFO access, respectively.
The Circular Buffer/FIFO control bit [TDL1_RPT; addr 0A6] allows the FIFO
to act as a circular buffer; in this mode, a message can be transmitted repeatedly.
This feature is available only for unformatted transmit data link applications. The
processor can repeatedly send fixed patterns on the selected channel by writing a
1- to 64- byte message into the circular buffer. The programmed message length
repeats until the processor writes a new message. The first byte of each
unformatted message is output automatically, aligned to the first frame of the 12-,
24-, or 16-frame transmit multiframe (SF/ESF/MFAS). This allows the processor
to source overhead or data elements aligned to the TX timebase.
NOTE:
Each unformatted message written is output-aligned only after the
preceding message completes transmission. Therefore, data continuity is
retained during the linkage of consecutive messages, provided that the
contents of each message consists of a multiple of the multiframe length.
Time slot and bit selection is done through the DL1 Time Slot Enable
[DL1_TS; addr 0A4] and DL1 Bit Enable [DL1_BIT; addr 0A5] registers.
DL1_TS selects which frames and which time slot are overwritten. The frame
select allows TDL1 to overwrite the time slot in all frames, odd frames, even
frames. The time slot word enable is a value between 0 and 31 that selects which
time slot is filled with data from the transmit data link buffer. DL1_BIT selects
which bits are overwritten in the time slot selected. Table 2-10 lists commonly
used data link settings.

The Transmit Data Link FIFO #1 [TDL1; addr 0AD] is 64 bytes, and very
versatile. It can be used as a single-byte transmit buffer or in any number of bytes,
up to a maximum of 64. As a single-byte FIFO, the Transmit FIFO Empty Status
(TMPTY1) in TDL #1 Status [TDL1_STAT; addr 0AE] and Transmit FIFO
Empty Interrupt (TEMPTY) in Data Link 1 Interrupt Status (ISR2; addr 009] can
be used for byte-by-byte transmissions.
Using the Transmit Data FIFO, an entire block of data can be transmitted with
very little microprocessor-interrupt overhead. Block transfers to the FIFO can be
controlled by the Near Empty Threshold in the FIFO Empty Control register
[TDL1_FEC; addr 0AB]. The Near Empty Threshold is a user-programmable
value between 0 and 63 that represents the minimum number of bytes that can
remain in the transmit FIFO before near empty is declared. Once the threshold is
set, the Near Empty Status (TNEAR1) in TDL #1 Status [TDL1_STAT;
addr 0AE] is asserted whenever the Near Empty Threshold is reached. An
interrupt, TNEAR in the Data Link 1 Interrupt Status register [ISR2; addr 009], is
also available to mark this event.
Once an entire message is written into the transmit FIFO or circular buffer, the
processor must indicate the end of message by writing any value to the TDL #1
End of Message (EOM) Control [TDL1_EOM; addr 0AC]. In FCS mode, the
EOM indicates that the FCS is to be calculated and transmitted following the last
byte in the FIFO; in the Circular Buffer mode, the EOM indicates the end of the
transmit circular buffer.

Bt8370/8375/8376 uses a hierarchical interrupt structure, with 1 top-level
Interrupt Request register [IRR; addr 003] directing software to the lower levels.
Of all the interrupt sources, the 2 most significant bandwidth requirements are
signaling and data link interrupts. Each data link controller has a top-level
interrupt status register that reports data link operations (see Data Link 1 and 2
Interrupt Status registers [ISR2; addr 009, and ISR1; 00A]). The processor uses a
2-step interrupt scheme for the data link: it reads the Interrupt Request register,
then uses that register value to read the corresponding Data Link Interrupt Status
register.

2.8.2.2 PRM Generator
Performance Report Messages (PRMs) are HDLC messages containing path
identification and performance monitoring information. If automatic performance
report insertion is selected [AUTO_PRM; addr 0AA], a performance report is
generated each second and begins transmitting coincident with the 1-second timer
interrupt [ONESEC; addr 005]. The PRM is sent immediately if the processor
sets the SEND_PRM bit in the Performance Report Message register [PRM; addr
0AA]. All performance monitoring fields of the message are automatically filled
in when a PRM is generated. The remaining PRM bit fields are
application-specific and can be configured using the Performance Report
Message register.
For systems with a single processor and multiple Bt8370s, the automatic PRM
generation can off-load a significant portion of CPU bandwidth.
TBOP Transmitter
The Transmit Bit-Oriented Protocol (TBOP) transmitter sends BOP messages,
including ESF Yellow Alarm, which consists of repeated 16-bit patterns with an
embedded 6-bit codeword. The TBOP is configured to operate over the same
channel selected by Data Link #1 [DL1_TS; addr 0A4]. The TBOP must be
configured to operate over the FDL channel. This is required for TBOP to convey
Priority, Command, and Response codeword messages according to ANSI T1.403,
Section 9.4.1. The precedence of transmitted BOP messages with respect to
current DL1 transmit activity is configurable using the Transmit BOP mode bits
[TBOP_MODE[1,0]; addr 0A0]. BOP messages can also be transmitted during
E1 mode, although the 16-bit codeword pattern has not currently been adopted as
an E1 standard. The length of the BOP message [TBOP_LEN[1,0]; addr 0A0]
can be set to a single pattern, 10 patterns, 25 patterns, or continuous.
0xxxxxx0 11111111 (transmitted right to left)
[543210] TBOP = 6-bit codeword
BOP codewords are transmitted by writing to the Transmit BOP Codeword
[TBOP; addr 0A1]. The real-time status of the codeword transmission can be
monitored using TBOP_ACTIVE in the BOP Status register [BOP_STAT; addr
0A3]. A begin BOP transmit interrupt is available in Data Link 1 Interrupt Status
[ISR2; addr 009].
2.8.3 Sa-Byte Overwrite Buffer
Five transmit Sa-Byte buffers [TSA4 to TSA8; addr 07B to 07F] are available;
they insert Sa-bits into the odd frames of TS0. The entire group of 40 bits is
sampled every 16 frames, coincident with the Transmit Multiframe bit interrupt
boundary [TMF; addr 008]. Bit 0 from each TSA register is then inserted during
frame 1, bit 1 is inserted during frame 3, bit 2 is inserted during frame 5, and so
on, which gives the processor a maximum of 2 ms after TMF interrupt to write
new Sa-Byte buffer values. Transmit Sa-bits maintain a fixed relationship to the
transmit CRC multiframe. Each of the 5 Sa-Byte transmit buffers can be
individually enabled using the Manual Sa-Byte Transmit Enable in the Transmit
Manual Sa-Byte/FEBE Configuration register [TMAN; addr 074].

2.8.4 Overhead Pattern Generator
The transmit overhead generation circuitry provides the ability to insert all of the
overhead associated with the Primary Rate Channel. The following types of
overhead pattern generation are supported: Framing patterns, Alarm patterns,
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), and Far-End Block Error (FEBE).
2.8.4.1 Framing Pattern
Generation
The framing pattern generation circuitry inserts the following patterns into the
data stream: the 2-bit terminal framing (Ft) pattern, the 6-bit signaling frame (Fs)
pattern, the 6-bit FPS pattern, the 8-bit FAS/NFAS pattern, and the 6-bit MFAS
pattern.
The Ft pattern in SF, SLC-96, and T1DM is inserted into the transmit data
stream by enabling the INS_FBIT in the Transmit Frame Format register [TFRM;
addr 072]. The Fs pattern in SF is inserted by enabling the INS_MF bit. The FPS
pattern in ESF and the FAS/NFAS pattern in E1 mode are inserted by enabling the
INS_FBIT bit. The MFAS pattern is inserted by enabling the INS_MF bit.
2.8.4.2 Alarm Generator
The Transmit Alarm Generation circuitry generates Alarm Indication Signal
(AIS) and Remote Alarm Indication (RAI/Yellow Alarm).
AIS is defined as an unframed all-1s pattern and is normally transmitted when the
data source is lost. AIS transmission can be enabled as follows:
• Manually
• Automatically upon detection of transmit loss of clock
• Automatically upon loss of received signal or loss of receive clock
Typical applications require transmission of AIS toward the line when DTE
transmit data or clock is not present. In most applications, DTE data and clock are
isolated from the transmitter, requiring manual AIS transmission under software
control. Manual insertion of AIS is controlled by the TAIS bit in the Transmit
Alarm Signal Configuration register [TALM; addr 075]. Setting this bit
overwrites the currently transmitted data with the AIS pattern. If AISCLK
[TLIU_CR; addr 068] is also set, AIS is transmitted using AIS Clock Input
(ACKI); otherwise it uses the clock present at TCKI MUX output [CMUX; addr
01A].
Automatic transmission of AIS can be controlled by detection of transmit loss
of clock [TLOC; addr 048]. This mode is enabled by setting AISCLK and
providing an alternate transmit line rate clock on the ACKI clock input pin.
By setting AUTO_AIS in the TALM register, automatic transmission of AIS
can also be controlled by detection of Receiver Loss of Signal [RLOS; addr 047]
or Receiver Loss of Clock [RLOC; addr 047], depending on whether an analog or
digital line interface option [RDIGI; addr 020] is used. This mode is typically
used to transmit AIS (keep-alive) during line loopback if the received signal is
lost. Setting AUTO_AIS simultaneously with setting LLOOP [LOOP; addr 014]
enables this operation.

Yellow Alarm/RAI for T1-ESF framing is defined as a BOP priority
codeword in the FDL channel. This is called T1 Multiframe Yellow Alarm
in 8370. T1-ESF Multiframe Yellow Alarm/RAI(YF) is not transmitted
using the procedure described below. Instead, T1- ESF Multiframe Yellow
Alarm/RAI(YF) is generated by configuring DL1 to continuously transmit
an all 0s BOP priority codeword. Refer to the Transmit Data Links section
under TBOP Transmitter.
Transmission of Yellow Alarm(YB2) is controlled by the register bits listed in
Table 2-12:

The insertion of Yellow Alarm(YB2) into the transmit stream is controlled by
INS_YEL. Yellow Alarm(YB2) is inserted only when INS_YEL is set.
Otherwise, these bit positions are supplied by data from TPCMI. Yellow
Alarm(YB2) generation can be done manually or automatically.
Manual generation of Yellow Alarm(YB2) is controlled by TYEL. Setting this
bit immediately and unconditionally overwrites the Yellow Alarm signal bit(s) in
the transmitted data stream with the appropriate pattern.

Automatic generation of Yellow Alarm(YB2) is controlled by AUTO_YEL,
RLOF, and RLOF_INTEG. If AUTO_YEL is set, Yellow Alarm is generated
during a Receive Loss of Frame alignment (RLOF = 1). Optionally, RLOF
integration can be enabled by setting RLOF_INTEG. In this case, both RLOF
indication and Yellow Alarm/RAI generation are delayed for approximately 2.5
seconds if a continuous out of frame condition exists. Yellow Alarm/RAI
generation continues for at least 1 second after RLOF clears. Refer to Table 2-13.

In T1 ESF framing mode, Multiframe Yellow Alarm or RAI is transmitted
using BOP Codeword Transmitter [TBOP; addr 0A1] and does not depend on
INS_MYEL. Transmitting Yellow Alarm/RAI toward the line can be done upon
receiving Receive Loss of Frame. T1 multiframe Yellow Alarm must be generated
by configuring TDL1 to transmit an all-0s BOP codeword. Optionally, RLOF
integration can be enabled by setting RLOF_INTEG. In this case, both RLOF
indication and Yellow Alarm/RAI generation are delayed for approximately
2.5 seconds if a continuous out of frame condition exists. Yellow Alarm/RAI
generation continues for at least 1 second after RLOF clears. RLOF_INTEG does
not meet the requirements of TR62411. To meet the requirements of TR62411,
“Conditions Causing the Initiation of Carrier Failure Alarms,” the Receive Loss
of Frame condition reported by FRED (addr 049) must be integrated before
initiating Yellow Alarm Transmission. This can be accomplished in software by
integrating FRED during an RLOF Interrupt (ISR7; addr 004), with
RLOF_INTEG bit cleared.
In E1 CAS framing modes, Multiframe Yellow Alarm is inserted into the
transmit stream to alert far-end equipment that local received multiframe
alignment is not recovered. E1 Multiframe Yellow Alarm is transmitted by setting
the Y bit in time slot 16, frame 0.
Transmission of Multiframe Yellow Alarm is controlled by the register bits

The insertion of E1 Multiframe Yellow Alarm is controlled by INS_MYEL.
E1 Multiframe Yellow Alarm is inserted only when INS_MYEL is set.
Multiframe Yellow Alarm generation can be initiated manually or automatically.
Manual insertion of Multiframe Yellow Alarm is controlled by TMYEL.
Setting this bit unconditionally overwrites the Multiframe Yellow Alarm signal
bit in the transmitted data stream.
Automatic insertion of Multiframe Yellow Alarm is controlled by
AUTO_MYEL in the TALM register. When set, the AUTO_MYEL mode sends a
yellow alarm for the duration of a Receive Loss of CAS Multiframe Alignment
[SRED; addr 049].
2.8.4.3 CRC Generation
The CRC generation circuitry computes the value of the CRC-6 code in T1 mode
or the CRC-4 code in E1 mode. Once computed, it is inserted into the appropriate
position of the transmitted data stream. CRC overwrite is enabled by the
INS_CRC bit in Transmit Frame Format [TFRM; addr 072].
If the transmit frame format is configured as ESF, and the INS_CRC bit is
active, the 2 kbps CRC sequence is inserted. (The position of the CRC-6 bits is
shown in Table A-4, Extended Superframe Format).
If the transmit frame format is configured as E1 and the INS_CRC bit is
active, the 4 kbps CRC sequence is inserted. (The position of the CRC-4 bits is
shown in Table A-6, ITU–T CEPT Frame Format Time Slot 0-Bit Allocations.)
2.8.4.4 Far-End Block
Error Generation
The Far-End Block Error (FEBE) generation circuitry inserts FEBE bits
automatically or manually. Automatic FEBE generation is enabled by the INS_FE
bit in TFRM. If the transmit frame format is configured as E1 and the INS_FE bit
is active, a FEBE is generated in response to an incoming CRC-4 error by setting
an E-bit of TS0 to 0. (Refer to Table A-7, IRSM CEPT Frame Format Time Slot
0-Bit Allocations for the location of the E-bits within the E1 frame.)
Manual FEBE generation is enabled by the TFEBE bit of the Transmit Manual
Sa-Byte/FEBE Configuration register [TMAN; addr 074]. If the transmit frame
format is configured as E1 and the TFEBE bit is active, the FEBE bits are
supplied by the processor in FEBE_I and FEBE_II bits [addr 074].
2.8.5 Test Pattern Generator
The transmit test pattern generation circuitry overwrites the transmit data with
various test patterns and permits logical and frame-bit error insertion. This feature
is particularly useful for system diagnostics, production testing, and test
equipment applications. The test pattern can be a framed or unframed PRBS
pattern. The PRBS patterns available include 2E11-1, 2E15-1, 2E20-1, and
2E23-1. Each pattern can optionally include Zero Code Suppression (ZCS). Error
insertion includes LCV, BPV, Ft, CRC4, CRC6, COFA, PRBS, Fs, MFAS, and
CAS.
The Transmit Test Pattern Configuration register [TPATT; addr 076] controls
the test pattern insertion circuit. TPATT controls the PRBS pattern (TPATT[1:0])
bits), ZCS setting (ZLIMIT bit), T1/E1 framing (FRAMED bit), and Starting and
Stopping transmission (TPSTART bit).

Conexant
2-63
Bt8370/8375/8376
2.0 Circuit Description

Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
Patterns are generated in accordance with ITU–T O.150 (10/92), O.151
(10/92), and O.152 (10/92). Enabling ZLIMIT modifies the inserted pattern by
limiting the number of consecutive 0s. For the 2E11-1 or 2E15-1 PRBS patterns,
8 or more 0s does not occur with ZLIMIT enabled. For the 2E20-1 or 2E23-1
PRBS patterns, 15 or more 0s will not occur with ZLIMIT enabled.
NOTE:
The QRSS pattern is a 2E20-1 PRBS with ZLIMIT enabled. This function
is performed according to ANSI T1.403 and ITU–T O.151 (10/92).
Frame bit positions can be preserved in the output pattern by enabling
FRAMED. In T1 mode, this prevents the test pattern from overwriting the frame
bit which occurs every 193 bits. In E1 mode with FRAMED enabled, the test
pattern does not overwrite time slot 0 data (FAS and NFAS words) and time slot
16 (CAS signalling word) if CAS framing is also selected. CAS framing is
selected by setting TFRAME[3] to 1 in the Transmit Configuration register
[TCR0; addr 070]. The test pattern is stopped during these bit periods according
to ITU-T O.151, (10/92). If FRAMED is disabled, the test pattern is transmitted in
all time slots.
2.8.6 Transmit Error Insertion
The Transmit Error Insert register [TERROR; addr 073] controls error insertion
during pattern generation. Writing 1 to a TERROR bit injects a single occurrence
of the respective error on TPOSO/TNEGO and XTIP/XRING outputs. Writing a
0 has no effect. Multiple transmit errors can be generated simultaneously.
Periodic or random bit error rates can also be emulated by software control of the
error control bit.
NOTE:
Injected errors affect the data sent during a Framer or Analog Loopback
[FLOOP or ALOOP; addr 014].
Line Code Violations (LCV) are inserted via the TVERR bit of the TERROR
register. In T1 mode, if TVERR is set, a BPV is inserted between two consecutive
ones. TVERR is latched until the BPV is inserted into the transmit data stream,
and then it is cleared. In E1 mode with HDB3 selected, two consecutive BPVs of
the same polarity are inserted. This is registered as a single LCV for the receiving
E1 equipment.
Ft, FPS, and FAS bit errors are inserted using the TFERR bit in the TERROR
register. TFERR commands a logical inversion of the next frame bit transmitted.
CRC4 (E1) and CRC6 (T1) bit errors are inserted using the TCERR bit in the
TERROR register. TCERR commands a logical inversion of the next CRC bit
transmitted.
Change of Frame Alignments (COFA) are controlled by the TCOFA and
BSLIP bits in the TERROR register. TCOFA commands a 1-bit shift in the
location of the transmit frame alignment by deleting (or inserting) a 1-bit position
from the transmit frame. During E1 modes, BSLIP determines which direction
the bit slip occurs. In T1 modes, only 1-bit deletion is provided. Note that TCOFA
alters extraction rate of data from transmit slip buffer; thus, repeated TCOFAs
eventually cause a controlled frame slip where 1 frame of data is repeated
(T1/BSLIP = 0), or where 1 frame of data is deleted (BSLIP = 1).
PRBS test pattern errors are inserted by TBERR in the TERROR register.
TBERR commands a single PRBS error by logically inverting the next PRBS
generator output bit.

Fs and MFAS errors are controlled by the TMERR bit in the TERROR
register. TMERR commands a single Fs bit error in T1, or MFAS bit error in E1
by logically inverting the next multiframe bit transmitted.
CAS Multiframe (MAS) errors are controlled by the TSERR bit in the
TERROR register. TSERR commands a single MAS pattern error by logically
inverting the first MAS bit transmitted.
2.8.7 In-Band Loopback Code Generator
The in-band loopback code generator circuitry overwrites the transmit data with
in-band codes of configurable value and length. These codes are sequences with
periods of 1 to 7 bits and may, in some applications, overwrite the framing bit.
The Transmit Inband Loopback Code Configuration register [TLB; addr 077]
controls the functions required for this operation.
A loopback code is generated in the transmit data stream by writing the
loopback code to the Transmit Inband Loopback Code Pattern register [LBP; addr
078], and then by setting the Start Inband Loopback (LBSTART) and Loopback
Length (LB_LEN) bits in the Transmit Inband Loopback Code Configuration
register [TLB; addr 077]. The TLB register optionally allows the loopback code
to overwrite framing bits using the UNFRAMED bit. The LB_LEN provides
loopback code pattern lengths of 4 to 7 bits. Patterns of 2 or 3 bits can be achieved
by repeating the pattern in 4- or 6-bit modes, respectively. Framed or unframed all
1s or all 0s can also be achieved by setting the pattern to all 0s or all 1s. The
in-band loopback code generator is applicable only to T1 mode.
2.8.8 ZCS Encoder
The ZCS encoder encodes the single rail clock and data (unipolar) into dual rail
data (bipolar). The Transmit Zero Code Suppression Bits (TZCS[1,0]) in the
Transmitter Configuration register [TCR1; addr 071] selects ZCS and Pulse
Density Violation (PDV) enforcement options for XTIP/XRING and
TPOSO/TNEGO output pins. TZCS supports the following: Alternate Mark
Inversion (AMI), High Density Bipolar of order 3 (HDB3), Bipolar with 8 Zero
Suppression (B8ZS), Pulse Density Violation (PDV), Unassigned Mux Code
(UMC), and Bipolar with 7 Zero Suppression (B7ZS).
NOTE:
ZCS encoding, which alters data content, is performed prior to the CRC
calculation so the outgoing CRC will always be correct.
The AMI line code requires at least 12.5% average 1s density and no more
than 15 consecutive 0s. A 1 is encoded as either a positive or negative pulse; a 0 is
the absence of a pulse. Two consecutive pulses of the same polarity are referred to
as a Bipolar Violation (BPV).

The HDB3 line code replaces 4 consecutive 0s by 000V or B00V code, where

B7ZS replaces Bit 7 of all assigned time slots with a 1 if the contents are all 0.
B7ZS encoding is enabled on a per-channel basis in the Transmit Per-Channel
Control register [TPC0 to TPC31; addr 100 to 11F].
PDV enforcer overwrites transmit 0s that would otherwise cause output data
to fail to meet the minimum required pulse density, per ANSI T1.403 sliding
window.
NOTE:

NOTE:
RCVR's ZCS decoder cannot recover original data content from a UMC or
B7ZS encoded signal, or from a PDV-enforced one.
The TPOSO/TNEGO output pins provide access to the P and N rail unipolar
data before it is sent to the TLIU. The output on TPOSO/TNEGO can be changed
from dual rail unipolar to NRZ unipolar data (TNRZO) and to multiframe sync
clock (MSYNCO), using the Transmit NRZ Data (TNRZ) bit in TCR1[addr 071].
The TNRZ setting does not affect the XTIP/XRING output.

2.9 Transmit Line Interface Unit
Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
The pulse shape block receives P and N rail NRZ data. For each mark, it
produces a set of eight 6-bit values which define the pulse shape to be transmitted,
as illustrated in Figure 2-39. One of eight preprogrammed pulse shapes is
selected via the Transmit LIU Configuration register [TLIU_CR; addr 068]. The
TLIU control circuit downloads the code values associated with the selected pulse
shape from the ROM to the Transmit Pulse Shape Configuration registers
[SHAPE; addr 060–067], whenever the TLIU register is written to or when the
device is reset. The SHAPE registers can be directly accessed via the
microprocessor interface when a custom pulse shape is desired.
NOTE:
Any modification to the TLIU register initiates another download to the
SHAPE registers. The data stored in the pulse shape ROM and the SHAPE
registers is 5-bit magnitude only.
The TLIU control circuit converts the 5-bit magnitude to 6-bit 2's complement
data. The first 4 code values of the pulse (first half of the symbol) are forced to be
positive, and the last 4 values (last half of the symbol) are forced to be negative,
with respect to output pulse polarity.

2.9.2 Transmit Phase Lock Loop
The Transmit Phase Lock Loop (TPLL) operates at a nominal rate of either 1.544
MHz or 2.048 MHz, selected by T1/E1N [CR0; addr 001]. The pull-in and
hold-in range of the TPLL is ±200 ppm. The TPLL produces the transmit clock
(TCKO) and an 8x clock that is used by the pulse shape block to generate the
AMI pulses from TCKI clock mux, or JCLK.
2.9.2.1 Clock Reference
The TPLL reference clock is provided on the TCKO pin. If the jitter attenuator is
enabled in the transmit direction [JDIR; addr 002], TCKO is the dejittered TCKI
clock, or JCLK (if CLAD is enabled); otherwise, TCKO equals TCKI. The TCKI
source is selected by TCKI[1:0] [CMUX; addr 01A]. TCKI can have the
following selections: Recovered Receive Clock (RCKO), Receive System Bus
Clock Input (RSBCKI), Clock Rate Adapter Output (CLADO), or an external
clock, which is provided on the TCKI pin. The input clock jitter tolerance of the
TPLL is illustrated in Figure 2-40.

The maximum output jitter generated on XTIP/XRING dependents on the

2.9.3 Line Build Out
In the Bt8370 long haul device, three LBO filter networks can be enabled in the
TLIU to attenuate XTIP/XRING outputs in 7.5 dB steps, per the signal transfer
function defined by FCC Part 68 Regulations. (See LBO[1:0] in TLIU_CR.) The
number of LBO filters selected is based on the attached cable length. For short
line lengths, larger LBO attenuation prevents far-end crosstalk. For longer line
lengths, the appropriate line build-out must be selected. The following equation
lists the transfer function for each of the 7.5 dB LBO filters:

2.9 Transmit Line Interface Unit
Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
2.9.4 Line Driver
The line driver provides current drive to the low-power, bipolar analog signal
from the transmit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). The transmit DAC
converts the coded pulse shape values to properly scaled, analog bipolar signals
which drive the line transformer. The coded pulse shape values can optionally be
filtered during T1 Longhaul by LBO filter options. The internal sensing circuits
limit the drive current to less than 50 mA when a shorted line condition is
detected for more than 48 transmitted pulses. Normal drive levels are restored
when the short is removed. Typically, this is caused by a transmit cable short
circuit or a transient transmission line current surge. The activation sets the
TSHORT bit in Alarm 2 Status register [ALM2; addr 048].
2.9.4.1 Termination
Impedance
If an external termination resistor is used, the TERM bit in TLIU_CR must be set.
The transformer setting must also be set via the TURNS bit in TLIU_CR. An
external termination resistor can be used only if the transformer turns ratio is
1:1.36. The external termination resistor (RTerm) is placed in parallel across
XTIP/XRING, as illustrated in Figure 2-45.

2.10 Microprocessor Interface
Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
2.10 Microprocessor Interface
The Microprocessor Interface (MPU) provides the capability to configure the
Bt8370, read status registers and counters, and respond to interrupts (see
Figure 2-48). The interface supports both the Intel 8051 and Motorola 68000-type
processors. In the Intel mode, the address and data are multiplexed; in the
Motorola mode, the address and data are separate pins. Both synchronous and
asynchronous Read and Write modes are supported. The synchronous mode is
optimized for Motorola 68000-type processors with a maximum clock rate of 36
MHz. The asynchronous mode runs internally at 32 MHz, which limits the
processor speed to 16 MHz for 8051 processors, and 30 MHz for 68302
processors.
The microprocessor interface consists of the following pins: MCLK, MOTO*,
SYNCMD, CS*, AS*, DS*, R/W*, DTACK*, AD[7:0], A[8:0], INTR*,
CLKMD, ONESEC, RST*. (A detailed description of the MPU pins is provided
in Table 1-1, Hardware Signal Definitions.)

2.10.1 Address/Data Bus
In Non-multiplexed Address mode, A[8:0] provides the address for register
access; in Multiplexed Address mode, A[8] and AD[7:0] provide the address. In
both modes, the data bytes flow over the shared bidirectional, byte-wide bus,
AD[7:0].
2.10.2 Bus Control Signals
Four signals control the operation of the interface port: AS*, CS*, RD*, and
R/W*. An additional pin, MOTO*, selects whether the interface signals are of a
Motorola or Intel flavor.
When MOTO* is low, indicating a Motorola-style interface, CS*, AS*, R/W*,
and DS* signals are expected. When MOTO* is high, indicating an Intel-style
interface, CS*, ALE, RD*, and WR* signals are expected.
When MOTO* is high, the address lines are multiplexed with the data. This
pin is usually tied high for Intel devices, and low for Motorola devices. SYNCMD
puts the interface into the Synchronous Processor Interface mode. Motorola
68000 processors typically have SYNCMD tied high if MCLK is connected to the
MPU clock source, while Intel 8051 processors have SYNCMD tied low (see
Table 2-24).

2.10.3 Interrupt Requests
The INTR* output is an active low, open-drain type output which allows the
interrupt request line from multiple devices to connect to a common
microprocessor interrupt request line. All the Bt8370/8375/8376 interrupts are
requested on this pin. However, each interrupt source can be individually enabled
or disabled.
Interrupts are associated with three types of microprocessor interface
registers:
• Interrupt Enable register—a 1 in a given bit of IER[7:0] enables the
corresponding interrupt, a 0 (initial condition) disables it.
• Interrupt Status register [ISR; 7:0]—events are latched into these registers
whether the corresponding interrupt enable bit is set or not. The processor
must read the ISR registers to clear all latched bits.
• Interrupt Request register [IRR; addr 003]—reading this register along
with the corresponding ISR register, the microprocessor can determine the
cause of an interrupt. Active interrupts are indicated by bits that are high.
Inactive interrupts are indicated by bits that are low. Reading from IRR
clears the entire register; writing has no effect.

2.10.4 Device Reset
The Bt8370/8375/8376 contains three reset methods: internal power-on reset
(POR), hardware reset which uses the RST* pin, and software reset which uses
the RESET bit in register CR0 [addr 001]. All three methods result in device
outputs placed in a high-impedance state and configuration registers set to default
values as shown in Table 3-1, Address Map. In all reset methods, both REFCLK
and MCLK (internal or external) must be present during the reset process for
proper operation. MCLK (internal or external) performs the actual register
initialization. Therefore, if the CLKMD pin is connected high to enable external
MCLK, the external MCLK must be applied during reset, and if the CLKMD pin
is low during reset, the internal clock (33 MHz) is used.
After hardware reset, software reset, or internal power-on reset, the
microprocessor must initialize Bt8370/8375/8376 control registers and buffer
memory registers to the desired state.
2.10.4.1 Power-On
Reset (POR)
An internal POR process is initiated during power-up. When VDD has reached
approximately 3 V, the internal reset process begins and continues for 2048
REFCLK cycles (approximately 205 µs) if REFCLK is applied. If REFCLK is
not present, the Bt8370/8375/8376 remains in the reset state and does not
terminate until detecting 2048 REFCLK cycles have been detected. The RESET
bit in register CR0 [addr 001] can be monitored to determine when POR is
complete. MCLK (internal or external) must be present during the POR
concurrent with REFCLK to allow register initialization.
The LOOP register [addr 014] is not reset during power-on reset or internal
reset so the device may occasionally power-on in a loopback state. If this occurs,
several other registers (e.g., several IER registers) may not properly reset to their
default values. To avoid this, after power-on or hardware reset, write the Loop
register to 0 and then initiate a software reset using the RESET bit in the Primary
Control register [CR0; addr 001]. After this procedure, all default registers have
their default values. XOE needs to be disabled during the power-on reset period
and re-enabled after configuring the part. The device must not be in Framer
Loopback State when the software reset is written.
2.10.4.2 Hardware
Reset
Hardware Reset is initiated by bringing the RST* pin active (low) for a minimum
of 4 µs. If CLKMD is high (using external MCLK), external MCLK must be
present while RST* is low to allow register initialization. After RST* is
deactivated, the internal reset process continues for 5 µs, and register access must
be avoided. The RESET bit in register CR0 [addr 001] can be monitored to
determine when the reset process is complete.
2.10.4.3 Software Reset
Software Reset is initiated by writing the RESET bit [register CR0; addr 001] to
0, delaying at least 6 µs, then writing RESET to 1. Once initiated, the reset
process continues for 15 µs maximum and register access must be avoided. The
RESET bit can be monitored to determine when the reset process has completed.
As with the other reset methods, both REFCLK and MCLK (internal or external)
must be present during the reset process.

Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
2.11 Loopbacks
Bt8370/8375/8376 provides a complete set of loopbacks for diagnostics,
maintenance, and troubleshooting.
2.11.1 Remote Line Loopback
The remote line loopback loops the RCVR inputs to the XMTR outputs. The
loopback provides BPV transparency and the ability to override the looped data
with AIS. The RCVR data path is not affected by the activation of this loopback.
Remote line loopback is activated by setting the Remote Line Loopback
(LLOOP) bit in the Loopback Configuration register [LOOP; addr 014]. It is
possible to operate the remote line loopback simultaneously with the local framer
loopback. If receive jitter attenuator is also enabled, RJAT is placed in the line
loopback path. TJAT, if enabled, is not present in the line loopback path.
2.11.2 Remote Payload Loopback
The remote payload loopback loops all DS0 channels from the RCVR input to the
XMTR output. Loopback payload retains time slot integrity, such that numbered
time slots from each receive frame are transferred to same numbered time slots in
the transmit frame. Transmit overhead bits—F-bits in T1 mode or TS0 in E1
mode—are supplied by the transmit frame formatter or by the TSB, depending on
TFRM [addr 072] settings. Existing transmit frame alignment and clock timing
are not altered by [PLOOP; addr 014] activation or deactivation, allowing system
operation with independent receive and transmit timing. Controlled frame slips
are performed in the payload loopback path if receive and transmit clocks are
asynchronous, although these slips are not reported to the processor as slip buffer
errors. Multiframe integrity is not maintained during PLOOP; therefore, DS0 and
signaling channel loopbacks [TPCn; addr 100–11F] must be used to implement
payload loopback if transparent or forced signaling is desired. PLOOP does not
override by transmit per-channel remote loopback selection (TLOOP bit in
TPCn).
2.11.3 Remote Per-Channel Loopbacks
The remote per-channel loopback loops the RCVR input DS0 channel to the
XMTR output DS0 channel. The remote per-channel loopback is activated by
setting TLOOP in the Transmit Per-Channel Control register [TPC0 to TPC31;
addr 100 to 11F].

Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
2.11.4 Local Analog Loopback
RLIU provides a local analog loopback to internally route bipolar data from
XTIP/XRING to RTIP/RRING. In the local analog loopback mode, externally
applied data on RTIP/RRING inputs is ignored, and XTIP/XRING output data is
unaffected. The local analog loopback is configured using the ALOOP bit in the
Loopback Configuration register [LOOP; addr 014]. If RCKO is selected as the
TCKI clock source [CMUX; addr 01A], an alternate transmit clock source must
be provided when this loopback is activated. Possible configurations include
selecting the TCKI pin or CLADO as the transmit clock source, or programming
the JAT in the transmit direction and setting JFREE to enable the free-running
10 MHz reference [JAT_CR register; addr 002]. After activating or deactivating
this loopback, the RLIU must be reset using RST_LIU in the LIU Configuration
register [LIU_CR; addr 020]. The transmitter outputs must connect to a cable
termination or a transmit termination resistor for local analog loopback to pass
bipolar signals. If no cable and no resistor termination are supplied, then ALOOP
cannot pass bipolar signals to RTIP/RRING.
2.11.5 Local Framer Loopback
The local framer loopback loops the transmit line encoder outputs to the receive
line encoder inputs. The TLIU output is not affected by the activation of this
loopback. The local framer loopback is activated by setting the Local Framer
Loopback (FLOOP) bit in the Loopback Configuration register [LOOP;
addr 014]. If RCKO is selected as the TCKI clock source [CMUX; addr 01A],
then an alternate transmit clock source must be provided when this loopback is
activated. Possible configurations include selecting the TCKI pin or CLADO as
the transmit clock source, or programming the JAT in the transmit direction and
setting JFREE to enable the free running 10 MHz reference [JAT_CR register;
addr 002]. It is possible to operate the local framer loopback simultaneously with
the remote line loopback. If transmit jitter attenuator is also enabled, TJAT is
placed in the framer loopback path. RJAT, if enabled, is not present in the framer
loopback path.
2.11.6 Local Per-Channel Loopback
The local per-channel loopback loops the TSB PCM and signaling inputs to the
RSB PCM and signaling outputs on a per-channel basis. The local per-channel
PCM loopback is activated by setting RLOOP in the System Bus Per-Channel
Control registers [SBC0 to SBC31; addr 0E0 to 0FF]. The local per-channel
signaling loopback is activated by setting SIG_LP in System Bus Per-Channel
Control registers.

Device Reset—Active-high indicates a device reset is in progress. The device reset is initiated
by a power-on reset, a software reset, or a hardware reset (RST* pin is active low). RESET can
be monitored to determine when the reset process is complete.
To initiate a software reset, the processor must first write RESET to 0, then delay at least
6 µs, then write RESET to 1. Once initiated, the reset process continues for 15 µs maximum,
and causes the Bt8370/8375/8376 to initialize certain control registers to their default settings,
as shown in Table 3-1, Address Map. The processor must not write to these registers until
RESET returns low, although other non-default registers can be processor-initialized while
RESET is active.
To avoid non-compliant line rate or pulse shape transmissions during the reset process, the
system can three-state the transmit line driver by holding the XOE pin inactive (low).
After the reset process, the following is true:
System bus outputs RSIGO, RPCMO, and SIGFRZO are three-stated.
Interrupt INTR* output is disabled.
Programmable I/O pins are configured as inputs: RFSYNC, RMSYNC,
TFSYNC, TMSYNC, TNEGI/TDLCLKO, and ONESEC.

Receiver Framer mode—Establishes the offline framer's search criteria for recovery of frame
alignment (reframe). Also works in conjunction with the RLOFA–RLOFD bits [addr 040] to
establish the online framer's criteria for loss of frame alignment. Refer to
Table A-1, Superframe Format through Table A-1, Superframe Format to find which frame
bits are monitored, and refer to Table 2-3, Criteria for Loss/Recovery of Receive Framer
Alignment for frame alignment loss/recovery criteria during the selected mode. Mode
descriptions are listed in Table 3-2. The online framer’s SF, SLC, CAS, and MFAS criteria for
loss/recovery of multiframe alignment is also selected by RFRAME[3:0].

Global T1/E1 Select—Affects all Bt8370/8375/8376 functions by enabling receive and
transmit circuits to operate at either the T1 or E1 line rate. The processor must reinitialize all
control register settings after changing the T1/E1N control bit. T1/E1N selects the nominal
line rate (shown below), while the exact receive and transmit line rate frequencies are
independently determined by their respective input clock or data references. The actual receive
and transmit line frequency can vary within defined tolerances.
0 = 2.048 MHz line rate (E1)

002—Jitter Attenuator Configuration (JAT_CR)
The processor writes JAT_CR register at power-up, activating the JAUTO and JCENTER bits to initialize the
jitter attenuator elastic store. The processor can maximize jitter tolerance by repeating JCENTER after
recovering from an error [CKERR; addr 006] on the JAT input clock reference. JAT elastic store automatically
recenters upon detection of an elastic store limit error [JERR; addr 006].

JAUTO
Enable JCLK Acceleration—When active, the jitter attenuated output clock (JCLK) phase is
accelerated (added or subtracted) if the elastic store depth is within 1 Unit Interval (UI) of its
limit. JCLK frequency is increased if the depth is within 1 UI of overflow, or decreased if the
depth is within 1 UI of under-run. JAUTO does not affect JAT operation during other depth
conditions. The amount of JCLK acceleration is proportional to the proximity of the elastic
store limit, quantized in 0.125 UI steps. The JCLK phase is accelerated in 5 ns increments for
each quantized step, to a total of 40 ns (maximum 0.08 UI output jitter). JAUTO expands the
JAT loop bandwidth during near-limit conditions and allows JCLK to remain
frequency-locked during an instantaneous reference clock switchover. Clock acceleration (±)
is reported in CKERR interrupt [addr 006] and CPDERR [addr 021] status. JAUTO cannot
prevent elastic store data errors [JERR; addr 006] if an invalid, out-of-frequency range clock is
applied on the JAT reference input. If JCLK is programmed to free-run (JFREE), the processor
must disable JAUTO. The processor can optionally disable JAUTO to prevent unnecessary
clock acceleration when JCLK references CLADI, or during RLOS, RALOS, or TLOC error
conditions.
0 = no acceleration
1 = enable JCLK acceleration
JCENTER
Force JAT to Center (not auto clear)—Writing a 1 and then a 0 to JCENTER resets the elastic
store write pointer and forces the elastic store read pointer to 1-half the programmed JSIZE.
The processor writes JCENTER at power-up. Depending upon which JAT reference is
selected, the processor can optionally assert JCENTER after recovery from a loss of signal
(RLOS or RALOS) or in response to a transmit loss of clock (TLOC), or after recovering from
a persistent clock error (CKERR).
0 = normal operation
1 = recenter JAT elastic store
JSIZE[2:0]
JAT Elastic Store Size—Selects the maximum depth of JAT elastic store. The 32-bit depth is
sufficient to meet jitter attenuation requirements in all cases where JAT cutoff frequency is
programmed at 6 Hz and the selected clock reference is frequency-locked. However, in cases
where an external reference is selected or a narrow loop bandwidth is programmed, the elastic
store depth can tolerate up to ±64 Unit Intervals (128 bits) of accumulated phase offset.

An IRR bit is latched active (high) and the INTR* output pin is latched active (low) whenever an enabled
interrupt source reports an interrupt event in the corresponding Interrupt Status register [ISR7–ISR0; addr

ISR clears the respective IRR bit, independent of clearing ISR bits; therefore, persistently active ISR bits do not
assert INTR*. All IRR bits are logically OR'ed to activate INTR*, so the processor must read IRR = 00 before
exiting its interrupt service routine in order to confirm that the INTR* output has been de-asserted.

3.4 Interrupt Status Registers
Unused bits indicated by a dash (—) are reserved and should be written to 0. Writing to reserved bits has no
effect.
An Interrupt Status register (ISR) bit is latched active (high) whenever its corresponding interrupt source
reports an interrupt event. The processor reads ISR to clear all latched ISR bits. If the corresponding interrupt
enable is active (high), each interrupt event forces the associated IRR bit active (high) and the INTR* output pin
active (low). Interrupt sources fall into two categories:
• Rising-edge source reports an interrupt event when status changes from inactive to active state. Unless
specifically noted otherwise, all ISR bits are rising-edge sources.
• Dual-edge source reports an interrupt event when status changes from inactive to active (rising edge),
or from active to inactive (falling edge). The processor must read the associated real-time status to
determine which edge occurred.
Interrupt events are reported in real time on the INTR* output pin if the interrupt enable is active (high).
Otherwise, the interrupt status is latched and reported according to the selected latching mode [LATCH;
addr 046] without asserting the INTR* output pin. Table 3-3 summarizes the interrupt status registers.

RBOP
BOP Codeword Received—Set when a valid Bit Oriented Codeword is received and available
in the RBOP register [addr 0A2].
RFULL2
Receive FIFO Full—In HDLC modes, RFULL is set when the data link receiver attempts to
write received data to a full FIFO causing the receive data link FIFO to overrun. In
unformatted modes (Pack6 and Pack8), RFULL is set when the receive FIFO is filled to the
MSG_FILL limit selected in register RDL2_FFC [addr 0B2].
RNEAR2
Receive FIFO Near Full—Set when the receive FIFO fill level reaches the near full threshold
selected in register RDL2_FFC [addr 0B2].
RMSG2
Message Received—Set when a complete message or a partial message is received and
available in the receiver FIFO.
TDLERR2
Transmit FIFO Error—Set when the FIFO underruns as a result of the internal logic emptying
the FIFO without encountering an end of message [TDL2_EOM; addr 0B7]. The underrun
condition also forces transmission of an HDLC abort code.
TEMPTY2
Transmit FIFO Empty—Set when the FIFO overflows as a result of the processor attempting to
write to a full FIFO. Overflow data is ignored by the transmit FIFO.
TNEAR2
Transmit FIFO Near Empty—Set when the transmit FIFO level falls below the threshold
selected in register TDL2_FEC [addr 0B6].
TMSG2
Message Transmitted—Set when a complete message has been transmitted and the closing flag
is just beginning transmission.

BSLIP
Online Framer Bit Slip—Active-high. Indicates that receive online framer adjusted receive
frame sync by ±1 bit. When BSLIP occurs, the apparent FAS error is not reported elsewhere
(not to FERR count, RLOF circuit, or SEF circuit). Applicable only to receive framer modes
with BSLIP enabled (see Table 3-2, Receive Framer Modes).
0 = no error
1 = frame bit slip
PSYNC
Receive PRBS Test Pattern Sync—Forced to inactive (low) status when the processor requests
RESEED [addr 041] of the PRBS sync detector, and remains low while detector searches for
test pattern sync. PRBS bit errors [BERR; addr 058, 059] are not counted while PSYNC is
low. PSYNC remains low for a minimum of 128 bits following RESEED, and for as long as
the received bit error ratio (BER) exceeds 1E-2. PSYNC is latched active (high) and the PRBS
sync detector stops searching when no bit errors are found for a period of 96 bits. The sync
detector remains disabled until the processor requests another RESEED. Therefore, any range
of BER can be measured after initial pattern sync. The processor must determine criteria for
loss of pattern sync based on its accumulation of bit errors over the desired time interval.
0 = no sync
1 = PRBS test pattern sync
TCERR
Transmit CRC Error—Reports occurrences of CRC-6 or CRC-4 errors detected on TPCMI
data according to the selected T1/E1 mode.

PLOOP
Enable Remote Payload Loopback—Payload from the receiver replaces the payload on
transmitter output. The loopback payload retains the time slot and frame integrity, so
numbered time slots from each receive frame transfer to same numbered time slots in the
transmit frame. Transmit overhead bits—F-bits in T1 mode or TS0 in E1 mode—are supplied
by the transmit frame formatter or the transmit system bus, according to TFRM [addr 072]
settings. Existing transmit frame alignment and clock timing is not altered by PLOOP
activation or deactivation, allowing system operation with independent receive and transmit
timing. Controlled frame slips are performed in the payload loopback path if the receive and
transmit clocks are asynchronous, although these slips are not reported to the processor as slip
buffer errors. Multiframe integrity is not maintained during PLOOP; therefore, DS0 channel
loopbacks [TPCn; addr 100–11F] must be used to implement payload loopbacks when
transparent or forced signaling is desired. PLOOP does not override by the transmit
per-channel selections (TPCn).
0 = no loopback
1 = payload loopback
LLOOP
Enable Remote Line Loopback—Dual-rail unipolar data from RLIU (or RJAT) is internally
connected to TLIU. The recovered clock from RPLL (or JCLK from RJAT) is internally
connected to the transmitter. Loopback data retains BPV transparency. Data input from the
transmit system bus continues to pass through the transmitter, but is ignored at ZCS encoder
outputs. Data passage from RLIU block to RSB block is unaffected. LLOOP and FLOOP can
be simultaneously active to support line and network loopbacks simultaneously.
0 = no loopback
1 = line loopback
FLOOP
Enable Local Framer Loopback—Dual-rail unipolar data from the transmit ZCS encoder is
internally connected to receive ZCS decoder inputs. The signals from the transmit clock input
(TCKI) is internally connected to the receive clock output (RCKO). Externally applied data on
RTIP/RRING inputs is ignored. XTIP/XRING output data is unaffected. If RCKO is selected
as the TCKI clock source [CMUX; addr 01A], an alternate transmit clock source must be
provided when this loopback is activated. Possible configurations include selecting the TCKI
pin or CLADO as the transmit clock source, or programming the JAT in the transmit direction
and setting JFREE to enable the free-running 10 MHz reference [JAT_CR register; addr 002].

processor must reset the receive line interface [RST_LIU; addr 020]. If RCKO is selected as

supplied from the TDLI pin, and which receive and transmit time slots are accompanied by a gated RDLCKO
and TDLCKO output. (Refer to Figure 2-29, Transmit External Data Link Waveforms, Transmit External Data
Link Waveforms). RDLO outputs the entire receive data bit stream, and only selective digits are marked by
RDLCKO.

link pins by writing the corresponding DL3_BIT active (high). LSB enables clock pulses
coincident with the first bit transmitted or received. The full T1/E1 data stream is output on
RDLO as long as the RDL_IO bit [addr 018] is active, regardless of which bits are
accompanied by RDLCKO clock pulses. The selected transmit data link bits are sampled from
the TDLI pin on the falling edge of TDLCKO to replace normal transmitted data. DL3_BIT
must be set to 0x01 when DL3_TS selects T1 F-bits.

017—Offline Framer Status (FSTAT)
Bt8370/8375/8376 contains a single offline framer that serves as a shared resource for both receive and transmit
channels. Because current alignment status for receive and transmit channels is reported separately in Alarm
Status registers (ALM1, ALM2; addr 047, 048), FSTAT is used primarily for diagnostic purposes to monitor the
progress of an alignment search, or to verify acknowledgment of a processor-generated forced reframe request.
These status bits can only be reported for a very short period of time (i.e., 1 clock cycle), because the RLOF and
TLOF reframe requests can immediately request another offline framer search.

Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
Frame Search Successful—Active-high indicates the offline framer located the frame
alignment according to the selected receive or transmit framer mode. Refer to Table 3-5 for
maximum average reframe time.
Upon detection of frame alignment, the following occurs:
• FOUND goes active-high
• RLOF or TLOF is cleared by the online framer, depending on RX/TX direction
• the offline framer goes inactive, if no pending reframe requests exist
• the RX, TX, or TSB timebase is realigned, depending on the RX/TX direction and the
embedded framing mode.
If the reframe pulse causes the receive timebase to align to a position that differs from its
existing alignment, the change of frame alignment error counter [COFA; addr 05A]
increments. Changes of the transmit frame alignment are not detected.
NOTE:
In E1 receive framer modes, the offline framer also reports intermediate FRED,
MRED, and SRED status [ALM3; addr 049] while searching for FAS, MFAS, and
CAS alignment, respectively.

TIMEOUT
Framer Search Timeout—Cleared when the offline framer transitions to its ACTIVE state. If
multiple frame candidates exist over the entire mode-dependent timeout interval (refer to

RFSYNC_IO
Bidirectional RFSYNC Input/Output mode—Refer to system bus sync mode summary in
Tables 3-6 and 3-8. When RFSYNC is an input, its low-to-high transition aligns the RSB
timebase to the programmed RSB.OFFSET. Refer to RSYNC_BIT, RSYNC_TS and
RSYNC_FRM offset registers [addr 0D2, 0D3, and 0D8] for a complete description of the
RSB sync bit, time slot, and frame offset. Once aligned, the RSB timebase internally flywheels
at 125 µs interval (8 kHz) until a new RFSYNC pulse is applied. When RFSYNC is
programmed as an output, it operates continuously at 8 kHz frame rate, marking RSB sync bits
and time slot offset position of each frame. Initial RFSYNC alignment and subsequent
realignment depends RSB mode [RSBI; addr 0D1] and RSB manual center [RSB_CTR; addr
0D1]. RFSYNC must be programmed as an output when RSLIP is in Bypass mode or Elastic

Bidirectional RMSYNC Input/Output mode—Refer to system bus sync mode summary in

When RMSYNC is an output, it operates continuously at a 6 ms rate (every second
multiframe for T1 or every third for E1), marking the RSB.OFFSET position. Initial
RMSYNC alignment and subsequent realignment depends on RSB mode [RSBI; addr 0D1]
and RSB manual center [RSB_CTR; addr 0D1]. RMSYNC must be programmed as an output
when RSLIP is in Bypass mode or Elastic mode. THRU bit must be set [THRU; addr 0D7]
when RMSYNC is programmed as an output. RMSYNC input signal must always coincide
with RFSYNC.

3.7 Receive LIU Registers
Unused bits indicated by a dash (—) are reserved and should be written to 0. Writing to reserved bits has no
effect.
Table 3-9 details receiver LIU register settings for some typical applications. The sensitivity range values
shown are the minimum range of receive signal levels for which the receiver recovers data error-free. The
RALOS detect range lists the range of receive signal levels for which Analog Loss of Signal (RALOS) is
declared after 1 msec. The RLOS detect threshold shows the number of continuously received zeros that cause a
receiver loss of signal condition. For example, for E1 I.431 applications, the receiver declares an RALOS
condition when the receive signal level is –20 dB or less. For E1 G.775 applications, an RLOS condition is
declared if the received signal level remains less than –24 dB for 32 bit periods.

Bridge Attenuation—The receive equalizer can automatically compensate for signal level
attenuation caused by placement of bridge resistors in series with the normal receive
termination resistance. Bridge compensation scales the equalizer coefficients because they are
loaded from internal ROM; therefore, any change to the ATTN setting must be followed by an
RLIU reset command (RST_LIU).

VGA Maximum—The processor can limit receiver sensitivity by programming the maximum
allowable input signal gain into the VGA_MAX register. This option is used for short and
medium haul interfaces that must declare loss of signal when the receive level falls below a
certain level. The default value is 0x3F for Bt8370 and 0x2F for Bt8375/6.
Table 3-10 contains approximate VGA_MAX settings for the receive sensitivity values. The
sensitivity value is the received signal level (below nominal) at which analog loss of signal
(RALOS) occurs. These values are applicable only when the RLBO and the PRE_EQ are
disabled. RLBO is disabled when the receive level is less than about –8 dB, or when RLBO is
forced off: RLBO = 0 (reg RLIU_CR [add 022]. The PRE_EQ is disabled when the receive
level is greater than about –24 dB, or when it is forced off: register PRE_EQ [addr 02A] =

Receive AMI Encoded Inputs—Disables B8ZS/HDB3 decoding for AMI-formatted
RTIP/RRING receive signals. Otherwise, the ZCS decoder replaces the 000VB0VB code
(B8ZS) with 8 zeros in T1 mode, or replaces the X00V code (HDB3) with four zeros in E1
mode; where B is a normal AMI pulse, V is a bipolar violation, and X is a “don't-care.”
Regardless of RAMI setting, receipt of a ZCS signature is always detected and reported in
ZCSUB status [RSTAT; addr 021].
0 = receive B8ZS/HDB3 line format
1 = receive AMI line format
RABORT
Abort/Disable RX Offline Framer—When set, the offline framer ignores reframe requests
from the online framer (RLOF) and aborts any in-progress RLOF reframe request. Loss of
Frame status [RLOF; addr 047] is not affected. While RABORT remains set, the offline framer
only responds to processor forced reframes (RFORCE). This allows the processor to manually
control reframe criteria and prevent changes in the current receive frame alignment. RABORT
is typically set only during unframed operation.
0 = normal framer operation
1 = framer disabled
RFORCE
Force RX Reframe—Forces the offline framer to perform a single reframe according to
selected receive framer mode. RFORCE is automatically cleared when the offline framer
acknowledges the request [FSTAT; addr 017]. The processor typically does not need to force
the reframe since the online framer reframe request (RLOF) is active whenever reframe criteria
(RLOFD–A) is met. However, the processor may force a reframe if the frame or CRC error
ratios indicate the framer might have aligned to a duplicated frame alignment pattern.

overflow [addr 007] as a 128 ms MFAS timeout.
When the LATCH_CNT is inactive, the processor read of the LSB register reports the

Unused bits indicated by a dash (—) are reserved and should be written to 0. Writing to reserved bits has no

Five receive Sa-Byte buffers [RSA4–RSA8] are double-buffered. All five registers are updated with the
Sa-bits received in TS0 of odd frames at each receive multiframe interrupt [RMF; addr 008]. Bit 0 of all RSA
registers contains data from frame 1, bit 1 contains data from frame 3, bit 2 contains data from frame 5, and so
on. This gives the processor a full 2 ms after RMF-interrupt to read any Sa-Byte buffer before the contents
change. The processor ignores RSA buffer contents during T1 mode, and when the receiver reports a loss of
FAS alignment [FRED=1; addr 049] in E1 mode.

After writing to TLIU_CR, the processor should wait for eight MCLK-cycles before reading back TLIU_CR.
This is because any write into TLIU_CR triggers an internal transfer of ROM data to update the SHAPE
registers. While this internal transfer is in progress, any read or write of TLIU_CR may be blocked internally or

shaped to meet the transmit pulse template according to the selected cable length and type.
(Refer to Figure 2-34, TLIU Waveform and Figure 2-41, 0 dB LBO Isolated Pulse Template for
T1/E1 isolated pulse templates.) Each time the processor writes to TLIU_CR [addr 068], the
default shape values are transferred from internal ROM into SHAPE registers [addr 060–067].
Custom shape programming for alternative cable types or pulse templates will be discussed in
a separate Bt8370/8375/8376 application note.

Enable Automatic ACKI Switching—When AISCLK is active and the clock monitor reports a
loss of transmit clock [TLOC; addr 048], the transmitter clock is automatically switched to
reference ACKI instead of TCKI, and the transmitter is forced to send AIS (all ones) data. If
both AISCLK and TAIS [addr 075] are active, AIS is transmitted using ACKI clock regardless
of the clock monitor status. Set AISCLK only if the system supplies an alternate line rate clock
on the ACKI pin.

070—Transmit Framer Configuration (TCR0)
TCR0 selects the offline framer's criteria for recovery of transmit frame alignment; it determines the output of
transmit frame and alarm formatters overhead bits, and works in conjunction with TCR1 [addr 071] and TFRM
[addr 072]. This allows TCR0 to select the transmit online frame monitor's criteria for loss of frame alignment,
and which overhead bits are supplied by the transmit frame and the alarm formatters.

The frame formatter generates Ft, Fs, FPS, FAS, MFAS, and CRC bits. The alarm formatter
generates YB2, YJ, Y0, and Y16 bits. Frame and alarm overhead formats are selected by
TFRAME[3:0] and T1/E1N settings, as listed in Tables 3-15 through 3-18. Each Yellow Alarm
can be generated manually or automatically [TALM; addr 075], or can be bypassed
[INS_MYEL; addr 072].
The frame formatter does not generate CAS or Sa-bit overhead; these bits are supplied by
TPCMI in Bypass mode [TFRM; addr 072], or by programming TSIGn [addr 120–13F] or
TSA4–TSA8 [addr 07B–07F] buffer contents. To insert CAS, the processor selects TLOCAL
output signaling for time slot 0 and time slot 16 by programming transmit per-channel control
registers TPC0 [addr 100] and TPC16 [addr 110]. The processor then fills ABCD local
signaling value for TPC0 with the MAS pattern (ABCD = 0000) and TPC16 with XYXX
pattern (ABCD = 1011).
The frame formatter does not generate SLC, T1DM, or FDL overhead; these bits are
supplied either by TPCMI in Bypass mode [TFRM; addr 072] or by programming the TSLIP
[addr 140–17F], TDL1 [addr 0AD], or TDL2 [addr 0B8] buffer contents.
To insert SLC concentrator, maintenance, alarm, and switch field values, the processor
selects any SLC framer format and programs either the TDL1 or the TDL2 to operate in
unformatted Pack6 mode over the F-bit channel during even frames. This overwrites all Fs bits
inserted by the frame formatter. The data pattern to be sent in 36 Fs bit multiframe is written as
six 6-bit words to the TDL1 or TDL2 circular buffer. For real-time overhead manipulation, the
processor can rewrite the circular buffer with a new 36-bit pattern, as desired.
To insert T1DM, the processor enables TIDLE insertion on time slot 24 by programming
the transmit per-channel control [TDC24; addr 118], and filling the TSLIP buffer location for
TS24 [addr 158] with the T1DM framing pattern (TS24 = 10111YR0). If specific T1DM
elements must be inserted and others bypassed, the processor configures TDL1 or TDL2 to
selectively insert only the desired bits such as the T1DM sync pattern, R-bits, and/or Y-bits, by
programming data link bit enables [DL1_BIT; addr 0A5 or DL2_BIT; addr 0B0].
To insert FDL, the processor configures TDL1 to operate over the F-bit channel during odd
frames [DL1_TS; addr 0A4] and during Automatic Performance Report Messages
[AUTO_PRM; addr 0AA], or the processor manually programs TDL1 to send each message.

TABORT
Abort/Disable TX Offline Framer—The offline framer ignores reframe requests from the
online framer (TLOF) and aborts any in progress TLOF reframe requests. The loss of frame
status [TLOF; addr 048] is not affected. While TABORT remains active, the offline framer
responds only to the processor force reframe request (TFORCE). This allows the processor to
manually control reframe criteria or lock out changes in the current transmit frame alignment.

TABORT interacts with EMBED [addr 0D0] to select which data stream is examined by
online and offline transmit framer during embedded framing modes. If EMBED is active,
TXDATA output from TSLIP is examined and used to align the TX timebase; otherwise, the
TPCMI data stream is examined and used to align the TSB timebase, as defined in Table 3-19.

Alternate Mark Inversion. Bipolar line code forces successive 1s to alternate their output pulse polarity. Analog and

HDB3
Prior to transmission, four consecutive 0s are substituted by 000V or B00V code, where B is an AMI pulse, and V is a
bipolar violation. ZCS encoder selects the code that forces the BPV output polarity opposite that of the prior BPV.
B8ZS
Prior to transmission, eight consecutive 0s are substituted by 000VB0VB code, where B is an AMI encoded pulse, and
V is a bipolar violation.
PDV
Enforcer overwrites transmit 0s that would otherwise cause output data to fail to meet the minimum required pulse
density per ANSI T1.403 sliding window.
NOTE(S): The enforcer never overwrites a framing bit and is not applicable during E1 mode.
NOTE(S): Each PDV-enforced 1 causes a nonrecoverable, transmitted bit error.
UMC
Unassigned Mux Code. DS0 channels containing eight 0s are substituted with the 10011000 code, per Bellcore
TA-TSY-000278.
NOTE(S): The receiver's ZCS decoder cannot recover original data content from UMC encoded signal.
NOTE(S): PRBS, inband loopback, and YB2 alarm insertion occurs after PDV enforcement; therefore, output data might violate
minimum pulse density requirements while these functions are active.

provided. Note that TCOFA alters the extraction rate of data from the transmit slip buffer; thus,

Inject Line Code Violation—Injects a single LCV error depending on the line mode and the
selected ZCS. In T1 mode, the LCV injector waits for transmission of two consecutive pulses
on the data output before performing BPV error insertion and clearing the TVERR bit. A BPV
error cannot be injected into a transmit data stream that does not contain two consecutive 1s.
TVERR is latched until an opportunity to inject a BPV error is presented, thus preventing the
receiving end from detecting frame or multiframe bit errors, CRC errors, multiple BPV errors
(due to ZCS pattern corruption), or PRBS test pattern bit errors as a consequence of error
insertion. In E1 mode with HDB3 selected, the LCV injector sends two consecutive BPVs of
the same polarity, which causes the receiving end to detect a single LCV error.

AUTO_AIS /TAIS
Automatic Manual Transmit Alarm Indication Signal—When activated manually (TAIS) or
automatically (AUTO_AIS), the alarm formatter replaces all data output on TPOSO/TNEGO
and XTIP/XRING with an unframed all-1s signal (AIS). This includes replacing data supplied
from TPOSI/TNEGI and from the receiver during line loopback [LLOOP; addr 014].
Automatic mode sends AIS for the duration of receive loss of signal [RLOS; addr 047] or
receive loss of clock [RLOC; addr 047], depending on the analog or digital line interface
option [RDIGI; addr 020]. If AISCLK [addr 068] is enabled, TAIS also provides manual
switch control over ACKI clock input. AUTO_AIS does not affect ACKI switching.
AIS transmission [TAIS, AUTO_AIS; addr 075, or AISCLK; addr 068] does not affect
transmit data that is looped back to the receiver during framer loopback [FLOOP; addr 014].
This allows both FLOOP and LLOOP to be active simultaneously during loss of signal,
without disrupting data in the framer loopback path.

3.13 Transmit Sa-Byte Buffers
Unused bits indicated by a dash (—) are reserved and should be written to 0. Writing to reserved bits has no
effect.
Five transmit Sa-Byte buffers (TSA4–TSA8) are used to insert Sa-bits in TS0. The entire group of 40 bits is
sampled every 16 frames, coincident with the TMF interrupt boundary [addr 008]. Bit 0 from each TSA register
is then inserted during frame 1: bit 1 is inserted during frame 3; bit 2 is inserted during frame 5; and so on. This
gives the processor a maximum of 2 ms after the TMF interrupt to write new Sa-Byte buffer values. Transmit
Sa-bits maintain a fixed relationship to the transmit CRC multiframe.

Loop Filter Gain—Determines CLAD jitter tolerance and jitter attenuation characteristics by
selecting the NCO loop filter's proportional phase error gain. Lower gain values improve jitter
tolerance by reducing phase response time, but provide less jitter attenuation. Higher gain
values increase the phase response time and improve jitter attenuation at the expense of loop
acquisition time.
NOTE:
Loop instability or acquisition failures may result from incorrectly programmed
LFGAIN values. Typically, LFGAIN is programmed to provide a minimum 3 Hz loop
bandwidth and 20 dB/decade jitter attenuation with 6 Hz filter cutoff frequency.
LFGAIN values of 5 or 6 are typically chosen to meet jitter requirements.

Unused bits indicated by a dash (—) are reserved and should be written to 0. Writing to reserved bits has no
effect.
The Bit Oriented Protocol (BOP) transceiver sends and receives BOP messages, including ESF Yellow
Alarm, which consists of repeated 16-bit patterns with an embedded 6-bit codeword. The BOP message channel
is configured to operate over the same channel selected by the DL1 Time Slot Enable register [DL1_TS;
addr 0A4]. Therefore, DL1 must be configured and enabled to allow BOP operation, as described in Table 3-22.

The BOP message channel must be configured to operate over the FDL channel for BOP messages to convey
Priority, Command, and Response codeword messages according to ANSI T1.403, Section 9.4.1. The
precedence of transmitted BOP messages with respect to current DL1 transmit activity is configurable
[TBOP_MODE; addr 0A0]. BOP messages can also be transmitted during E1 mode, although the 16-bit
codeword pattern has not been adopted as an E1 standard. BOP message format:

codeword does not increment the pattern count. RBOP integration must be enabled to meet
codeword detection criteria while receiving a 1E-3 bit error ratio. RBOP_INTEG adds at least
one to the number of successive 16-bit patterns needed to qualify receipt of BOP message (2 in

acknowledged, via activation of a TBOP interrupt [ISR2; addr 009]. If no new message is
written, the FDL channel returns to TDL1 output control upon completion of message

TBOP_MODE[1:0]
Transmit BOP mode—Enables the BOP transmitter and establishes priority of TBOP [addr
0A1] output in relation to TDL1 [addr 0AD] output. When TBOP messages are given output
priority, any write to TBOP aborts TDL1 output within the next 8 FDL bit times and suspends
TDL1 data output until TBOP has completed transmission. The processor can check TMSG1
status [addr 0AE] before writing TBOP to determine if TDL1 output is idle. The TDL1 buffer
can be written while TBOP is granted priority.
When TDL1 messages are given output priority, TBOP output is suspended when the TDL1
buffer becomes non-empty. In case of multiple pending messages, PRM messages have highest
priority, then BOP, and then TDL1. Furthermore, TBOP is forced to wait until the TDL1 buffer
is empty and the TDL1 output is in the idle state before TBOP output is granted priority. If
TBOP_LEN is continuous, and TDL1/PRM message output is pending, then TBOP is
suspended at the next 16-bit pattern boundary. TDL1 priority is used to transmit PRM, DS1
Idle (ISID), or optional path maintenance (PID, TSID) messages, which are separated by ESF
Yellow Alarm codewords, as defined in Annex D of ANSI T1.403.

Unused bits indicated by a dash (—) are reserved and should be written to 0. Writing to reserved bits has no
effect.
The Bt8370 and Bt8375 contain two independent Data Link Controllers (DL1, DL2) that are programmed to
send and receive HDLC formatted or unformatted serial data over any combination of bits within a selected time
slot. The serial data channels operate at a multiple of 4 kbps, up to the full 64 kbps time slot rate, by selecting a
combination of time slot bits from odd, even, or all frames. DL1 and DL2 each contain a 64-byte receive and
64-byte transmit buffer which function as programmable length circular buffers or as full-length data FIFOs.
The Bt8376 device contains only a single controller, DL1.

The Circular Buffer/FIFO control bit [TDL1_RPT; addr 0A6] allows the FIFO to act as a
circular buffer; in this mode, a message can be transmitted repeatedly. This feature is available
only for unformatted transmit data link applications. The processor can repeatedly send fixed
patterns on the selected channel by writing a 1- to 64-byte message into the circular buffer. The
programmed message length repeats until the processor writes a new message. The first byte of
each unformatted message is output automatically, aligned to the first frame of a 24-, or
16-frame transmit multiframe (SF/ESF/MFAS). This allows the processor to source overhead
or data elements aligned to the TX timebase. In both SF and ESF T1 modes, unformatted
messages are aligned on 24-frame boundaries. Therefore, in SF applications, the repeating
message must be designed to span two SF multiframes. Each unformatted message written is
output-aligned only after the preceding message completes transmission. Therefore, data
continuity is retained during the linkage of consecutive messages, provided that the contents of
each message consist of a multiple of the multiframe length.
DL1[1: 0]
Data Link 1 mode—Selects either HDLC-formatted Frame Check Sequence (FCS) or
Non-FCS transmit and receive data link message mode or unformatted (Pack8 or Pack6)
message mode. During HDLC modes, the transmit/receive circuits perform zero
insertion/removal after each occurrence of five consecutive 1s contained in the message bits,
FLAG (0x7E) character insertion/removal during idle channel conditions, and ABORT (0xFF)
code insertion/detection upon errored channel conditions. Refer to ITU-T Recommendation
Q.921 for complete details of the HDLC link-layer protocol. FCS mode automatically
generates, inserts, and checks the 16-bit FCS without passing FCS bits through transmit and
receive FIFOs. Non-FCS mode passes all message bits that exist between the opening and
closing FLAG characters through the FIFOs, without generating or checking FCS bits.
Non-FCS mode allows the processor to generate and check the entire contents of each HDLC
frame.
Unformatted data link modes provide transparent channel access, in which every data link
bit transmitted is supplied by the processor through TDL1, and each bit received is passed to
the processor through RDL1 [addr 0A8]. Pack8 and Pack6 unformatted mode options select
the number of bits per byte that are stored in transmit/receive FIFOs—8 or 6 bits, respectively.

Unformatted Message Fill Limit—Applicable only for Pack8 and Pack6 modes, the message
fill limit selects how many receive FIFO locations [RDL1; addr 0A8] are filled before the
receive data link generates an RFULL interrupt [ISR2; addr 009] and generates a
corresponding RDL1 Partial message status word entry. Fill limit determines how many bytes
constitute an unformatted message, and also gives the processor an alternative to using
RNEAR interrupts to signal the end of a received unformatted message.
The number of bits per unformatted message must divide evenly by the number of bits
monitored per multiframe. For example, SLC applications monitor Fs-bits during even frames
for a total of 36 bits monitored out of 72 frames. Using Pack6 mode, that group of 36 Fs-bits
from each SLC multiframe can be chosen to constitute one unformatted message by selecting a
message fill limit which equals 6 bytes (of 6 bits/byte). In the SLC example, an RFULL
interrupt would be generated every 9 ms on each SLC multiframe boundary. Fill limits
provided for T1 cases are multiples of 6 bytes (i.e., 6, 12 or 18 FIFO locations) to hold one or
more multiframes of monitored data. In E1 mode, fill limits are specified in multiples of 8
bytes to correspond with the 16-frame multiframe lengths (i.e., monitoring CRC4 in MFAS
framing mode, or monitoring TS16 in CAS framing mode).

both activated when the number of empty FIFO locations equals the selected threshold. The
threshold controls how many data and/or status bytes (64 minus threshold value) that the
processor must read from RDL1 after the RNEAR interrupt so it can clear the RNEAR1
indicator. The threshold also determines how much time remains (in bytes) for the processor to
read RDL1 before the receive FIFO is full. If a receive message is in progress when the near
full threshold is reached, the receiver issues a message interrupt [RMSG; addr 009] and places
a Partial message in the receive FIFO.

0A8—Receive Data Link FIFO #1 (RDL1)
Two different read byte values are supplied: WORD0 equals message status, and WORD1 equals message data.
The processor determines which byte value is located in the FIFO by reading the receiver data link status
[RDL1_STAT; addr 0A9]. In some cases, multiple consecutive status bytes can be placed in the FIFO, so the
processor must always read RDL1_STAT before reading RDL1. This allows it to distinguish between WORD0
and WORD1 byte values. However, each time a non-0 byte count [RDL1_CNT] status is read, the processor is
guaranteed that the next byte read from RDL1 will be message data [WORD1], not message status. Status byte
and a message data byte each occupy 1 byte of FIFO space.

End of Message—Receive data link reports an End of Message status for each occurrence of a
complete (Good), a continued (Partial), an errored (FCS/Non-integer), or an aborted (Abort)
message.
Properly received unformatted messages are reported with a Partial end of message status.
The processor responds to Good or Partial status by reading the indicated number of data bytes
[RDL1_CNT] from RDL1. For abort or error cases, RDL1_CNT equals 0 to indicate all that
received data from that message was discarded.
A Good status with RDL1_CNT=0 is reported if the processor reads RDL1 while the
receiver is in progress of filling the FIFO (in which case RDL1_STAT contains RSTAT1=1 and
RMSG1=1). If an abort or error status with zero byte count is reported after the processor has
already buffered a prior HDLC partial message, that partial buffered processor data should be
discarded.

for the processor to read. The processor can either read the specified number of message data

mode [DL1_CTL; addr 0A6] and 1-second error count latching [LATCH_CNT; addr 046]
must be enabled, and the data link channel must be selected to output on Facility Data Link
(FDL) framing bits [DL1_TS=0x40; addr 0A4]. Octets 1–14 of the transmit PRM message
contents are automatically encoded (as shown in Figure A-5, Performance Report Message
Structure), based on the number of received CRC, FPS, LCV, SEF, and FRED errors
[addr 050-05A]. RFSLIP errors [SSTAT; addr 0D9] are also automatically encoded if
AUTO_SL (described below) is enabled. The remaining PRM message contents typically
remain fixed and are supplied by the processor from other bits that follow in the PRM register.
BOP priority codeword transmissions are interrupted by AUTO_PRM, if TDL1 is granted
output priority [TBOP_MODE=11; addr 0A0].
AUTO_PRM messages take up no space in the transmit data link FIFO, but are inserted on
the transmit channel only after the FIFO is empty. Therefore, if the processor needs to transmit
another type of FDL message between PRM messages, the processor must write that message
after AUTO_PRM has begun sending (i.e., after ONESEC interrupt).

interrupt. Thus, SEND_PRM gives processor control over PRM transmit timing. This is easier

Near Empty Transmit FIFO Threshold—Selects FIFO depth of near empty interrupt [TNEAR;

activated when the number of data bytes remaining to be transmitted from the FIFO falls below
the selected threshold. The TNEAR1 indicator is active as long as the number of
processor-filled FIFO locations is below the selected threshold. Thus, TNEAR1 is active-high
when the transmit FIFO is empty, and remains active until the processor writes the selected
threshold number of bytes to TDL1 [addr 0AD]. Assuming the processor writes 64 bytes to fill
an empty FIFO, a TNEAR interrupt occurs after the transmitter has sent the number of bytes
required to bring the FIFO level back down below the selected threshold. Hence, the processor
can consecutively write 64 - FEC[5:0] number of bytes to the transmit FIFO in response to a
TNEAR interrupt. The interrupt also signifies time remaining (in bytes) for the processor to
write TDL1 before transmit FIFO is emptied. Typically, FEC[5:0] is set to a small value
(below 10-byte threshold) to minimize the number of TNEAR interrupts and maximize the
time between TNEAR interrupts.

TDL1_EOM
End of Transmit Message—Writing any data value to TDL1_EOM marks the last byte of data
written into the transmit FIFO as the end of an HDLC message (FCS or non-FCS mode), or the
end of a transmit circular buffer. The processor must write TDL1_EOM after writing a
complete message or after writing the last byte of a circular buffer into TDL1 [addr 0AD]. The
written data value is ignored and cannot be read back. Multiple HDLC messages are allowed
to be queued in the transmit FIFO simultaneously. The transition from one circular buffer to
another occurs only after the end of message byte of the current circular buffer has been sent.

In-Progress Transmit Message—The real-time status of the transmit message sequencer is
provided mostly for diagnostic purposes. During HDLC modes, TMSG1 is high for the
interval between opening and closing FLAG characters to indicate the transmitter is actively
pulling data bytes from transmit FIFO locations. TMSG1 is low while the channel transmits
FLAG or Abort characters. During Unformatted and Circular Buffer modes, TMSG1 is high
continuously.
0 = channel idle
1 = channel actively emptying FIFO
TMPTY1
Transmit FIFO Empty—Indicates no message data is present in transmit data link FIFO. This
is typically checked by the processor in response to a TMSG or TNEAR interrupt. If a TMSG
interrupt occurs, the processor checks TMPTY1 to determine whether all queued messages
were sent (TMPTY1=1) or more queued messages remain to be sent (TMPTY1=0). If TNEAR
interrupt occurs, the processor confirms TMPTY1=0 to verify that the partial transmit message
was not aborted by a FIFO underrun.

TNEAR1
Transmit FIFO Near Empty—Indicates that the data link has emptied the transmit FIFO to
below the near empty threshold specified in FEC[5:0]. After sending the byte that occupied the
near empty FIFO threshold level, TNEAR1 goes active-high, which generates a TNEAR
interrupt. The processor must write data to TDL1 to fill the transmit FIFO beyond the near
empty threshold. This is necessary to clear TNEAR1 status, and enable the next TNEAR
interrupt event.
0 = FIFO depth is below the near empty level
1 = FIFO has been emptied past the near empty level
TFULL1
Transmit FIFO Full—Indicates that the processor has completely filled 64 byte locations in
transmit FIFO. While TFULL1 remains active, any subsequent processor-writes to TDL1 are
ignored. If the processor inadvertently writes to TDL1 while TFULL1 is active, the processor
must allow FIFO to become completely empty without writing to TDL1_EOM. This is
necessary to force the transmitter to send an abort character.

TDL2_RPT
The Circular Buffer/FIFO control bit [TDL2_RPT; addr 0B1] allows the FIFO to act as a
circular buffer; in this mode, a message can be transmitted repeatedly. This feature is available
only for unformatted transmit data link applications. The processor can repeatedly send fixed
patterns on the selected channel by writing a 1- to 64-byte message into the circular buffer. The
programmed message length repeats until the processor writes a new message. The first byte of
each unformatted message is output automatically, aligned to the first frame of a 24-, or
16-frame transmit multiframe (SF/ESF/MFAS). This allows the processor to source overhead
or data elements aligned to the TX timebase. In both SF and ESF T1 modes, unformatted
messages are aligned on 24-frame boundaries. Therefore, in SF applications, the repeating
message must be designed to span two SF multiframes. Each unformatted message written is
output-aligned only after the preceding message completes transmission. Therefore, data
continuity is retained during the linkage of consecutive messages, provided that the content of
each message consists of a multiple of the multiframe length.
DL2[1: 0]
Data Link 2 mode—Selects either HDLC formatted (FCS or non-FCS) transmit and receive
data link message mode or unformatted (Pack8 or Pack6) message mode. During HDLC
modes, the transmit/receive circuits perform zero insertion/removal after each occurrence of
five consecutive 1s contained in the message bits, FLAG (0x7E) character insertion/removal
during idle channel conditions, and ABORT (0xFF) code insertion/detection, upon errored
channel conditions. Refer to ITU-T Recommendation Q.921 for complete details of the HDLC
link-layer protocol. FCS mode automatically generates, inserts, and checks the 16-bit FCS
without passing FCS bits through transmit and receive FIFOs. Non-FCS mode passes all
message bits that exist between the opening and closing FLAG characters through the FIFOs
without generating or checking FCS bits. Non-FCS mode allows the processor to generate and
check the entire contents of each HDLC frame.

Unformatted data link modes provide transparent channel access in which every data link
bit transmitted is supplied by the processor through TDL2, and each bit received is passed to
the processor through RDL2 [addr 0B3]. Pack8 and Pack6 unformatted mode options select
the number of bits per byte that are stored in transmit/receive FIFOs, 8 or 6 bits, respectively.
In T1 modes, only Pack6 is applicable. In E1, unformatted mode cannot be used if
FAS_MFAS-CAS receive framing is configured. The only data processing performed during
unformatted mode is the alignment of transmitted data bits with respect to the receive and
transmit multiframe. Please see the valid modes for Pack8 and Pack6 in the table shown below.

Unformatted Message Fill Limit—Applicable only for Pack8 and Pack6 modes, the message
fill limit selects how many receive FIFO locations [RDL2; addr 0B3] are filled before the
receive data link generates an RFULL interrupt [ISR1; addr 00A] and before the data link
generates a corresponding RDL2 Partial message status word entry. Fill limits determine how
many bytes constitute an unformatted message, and give the processor an alternative to using
RNEAR interrupts to signal the end of a received unformatted message.
The number of bits per unformatted message must divide evenly by the number of bits
monitored per multiframe. For example, SLC applications monitor Fs-bits during even frames,
for a total of 36 bits monitored out of 72 frames. Using Pack6 mode, that group of 36 Fs-bits
from each SLC multiframe can be chosen to constitute one unformatted message by selecting a
message fill limit which equals 6 bytes (of 6 bits/byte). In the SLC example, an RFULL
interrupt would be generated every 9 ms on each SLC multiframe boundary. Fill limits
provided for T1 cases are multiples of 6 bytes (i.e., 6, 12 or 18 FIFO locations) to hold one or
more multiframes of monitored data. In E1 mode, fill limits are multiples of 8 bytes to
correspond with the 16 frame multiframe lengths (i.e., monitoring CRC4 in MFAS framing
mode, or monitoring TS16 in CAS framing mode).

Not available in Bt8376 device.
Two different read byte values are supplied: WORD0 equals message status, and WORD1
equals message data. The processor determines which byte value is located in the FIFO by first
reading the receiver data link status [RDL2_STAT; addr 0B4]. In some cases, multiple
consecutive status bytes can be placed in the FIFO, so the processor must always read
RDL2_STAT before reading RDL2 to distinguish between WORD0 and WORD1 byte values.
However, each time a non-0 byte count [RDL2_CNT] status is read, the processor is
guaranteed that the next byte read from RDL2 is message data [WORD1], not message status.
Status byte and a message data byte each occupies 1 byte of FIFO space.

End of Message—The receive data link reports an End of Message status for each occurrence
of a complete (Good), a continued (Partial), an errored (FCS/Non-integer), or an aborted
(Abort) message. Properly received unformatted messages are reported with a Partial end of
message status. The processor responds to Good or Partial status by reading the indicated
number of data bytes [RDL2_CNT] from RDL2. For abort or error cases, RDL2_CNT equals
0 to indicate all received data from that message was discarded.
Note that A Good status with RDL2_CNT=0 is reported if the processor reads RDL2 while
the receiver is in progress of filling the FIFO (in which case RDL2_STAT contains RSTAT2=1
and RMSG2=1). If an abort or error status with 0 byte count is reported after the processor has
buffered a prior HDLC Partial message, that partial buffered processor data must be discarded.
Abort status is reported if the receiver detects a string of 7 or more consecutive 1s during an
HDLC message. FCS error status is reported if FCS mode is enabled and the checksum
calculated over the received HDLC message does not match the received 16-bit FCS.
Non-integer error status is reported if the receiver detects a closing FLAG character that yields
an HDLC message length which is not an integer number of 8-bit octets.

read. The processor can read either the specified number of message data bytes consecutively
from RDL2, or poll RDL2_STAT after reading each data byte until RDL2_STAT reports an

In-Progress Receive Message—The real-time status of the receive message sequencer is

RSTAT2
Next, FIFO Read Equals Message Status—For non-empty FIFO conditions (RMPTY2=0),
RSTAT2 indicates that the next byte read from RDL2 is WORD0 message status or WORD1
message data. RSTAT2 equals 0 if the FIFO is empty, with no message in-progress. The
processor polls RSTAT2 before reading RDL2 to determine how to interpret the RDL2 read
byte value, or checks RSTAT2 in response to an RMSG interrupt [ISR1; addr 00A].

in-progress message with a Partial end of message status. The processor must read those filled
FIFO locations to clear RNEAR2 status indicator and enable the next RNEAR interrupt.
0 = FIFO depth is below the near full level

RFULL2
Receive FIFO Full—Indicates the data link has completely filled 64 byte locations in the receive
FIFO. In all cases, RFULL2 is an error indicating the processor did not keep pace with the
receiver, and one or more received messages were discarded after the FIFO became full. The
FIFO can still contain one or more Good received messages, and the processor can still process
all receive FIFO contents as usual. However, any message that was in progress when FIFO
reached full is discarded and reported with Partial end of message status and a 0 byte count
(which distinguishes a full end of message status from a normal abort or error message status).

Near Empty Transmit FIFO Threshold—Selects a FIFO depth of near empty interrupt
[TNEAR; addr 00A] and near empty level status [TNEAR2; addr 0B9]. The TNEAR interrupt
is activated when the number of data bytes remaining to be transmitted from the FIFO falls
below the selected threshold. The TNEAR2 indicator is active as long as the number of
processor-filled FIFO locations is below the selected threshold. Thus, TNEAR2 is active-high
when the transmit FIFO is completely empty. It remains active until the processor writes the
selected threshold number of bytes to TDL2 [addr 0B8].
Assuming the processor writes 64 bytes to fill an empty FIFO, the TNEAR interrupt occurs
after the transmitter has sent the number of bytes required to bring the FIFO level below the
selected threshold. Hence, the processor is guaranteed to consecutively write 64 – FEC[5:0]
number of bytes to the transmit FIFO in response to a TNEAR interrupt. The interrupt signifies
time remaining (in bytes) for the processor to write TDL2 before the transmit FIFO is emptied.
Typically, FEC[5:0] is set to a small value (approximately 5- to 10-byte threshold) minimize
the number of TNEAR interrupts and to maximize the time between TNEAR interrupts.

TMPTY2
Transmit FIFO Empty—Indicates that no message data is present in the transmit data link

X2CLK
Enable Times 2 Clocks—X2CLK modifies the number of RSB/TSB clock cycles used to clock
a single data bit onto RSB and TSB. When X2CLK is active, two RSBCKI/TSBCKI clock
cycles occur for each RPCMO, RSIGO, SIGFRZ, TPCMI, and TSIGI bit. The FSYNC and
MSYNC signals remain at the full 1x RSBCKI/TSBCKI clock rate.
0 = RSB/TSB signals at RSBCKI/TSBCKI
1 = Two SBCKI clock cycles per SBI bit (except FSYNC and MSYNC).
SBI_OE
Enable System Bus Outputs—Places RPCMO, RSIGO, RINDO, and SIGFRZ output buffers
under the control of the RSB timebase. SBI_OE also places the TINDO output buffer under
the control of TSB timebase. Inactive (low) forces SBI output buffers to a high-impedance
state. Power-on and RESET [addr 001] force SBI_OE to an inactive state to avoid bus
contention on devices that share system bus connections.
0 = SBI outputs forced to high-impedance state
1 = SBI outputs controlled by respective RSB or TSB timebase
EMF
Embedded Framing—During T1 mode, EMF controls placement of T1 framing bits on
RPCMO and the sampling of T1 framing bits from TPCMI. EMF supports system buses that
carry T1 frames but operate above T1 line rate. EMF allows the system bus to transport and
maintain 193-bit frame integrity while T1 data is passed through RSLIP and/or TSLIP buffers.

EMBED
EMBED instructs the transmit framer (refer to [TABORT; addr 071] to align TX timebase with
respect to frame and multiframe alignment embedded in TXDATA, the transmit line rate data
output from TSLIP. If TSLIP is enabled, EMBED is inactive, and overhead is bypassed, TX
timebase is not guaranteed to align to TXDATA, and bypassed overhead cannot reliably pass
through TSLIP. EMBED is applicable to all system bus modes.

NOTE(S): Embedded F-bits reach TX output only if frame formatter [TFRM;

TS0 Embedded The offline framer examines TXDATA to align TX timebase to
the embedded FAS pattern. If MFAS is also enabled
[TFRAME; addr 070], the transmit online framer examines
TXDATA to align TX timebase to the embedded MFAS pattern.
While EMBED is active, TXDATA output is monitored, and
transmit frame errors are reported in ISR0 [addr 00B].
Embedded TS0 supports E1 overhead bypass options for
applications where TSLIP buffer is enabled.
G.802
Automatically supports ITU–T Recommendation G.802, which
Embedded
defines frame format conversion between T1 and E1 line rates
by locating T1 F-bits in Bit 1 of time slot 26 of each system bus
frame. G.802 embedded mode is applicable for system buses
that are 1x, 2x, or 4x multiples of the E1 line rate. Full
implementation of G.802 also requires the processor to program
TS0, TS16, and TS26–TS31 as unassigned system bus time
slots [SBCn; addr 0E0–0FF].
SBI[3:0]
N8370DSE
System Bus Interface mode—Defines transmit and receive system bus data format. System
buses operate in one of nine basic formats which differ in the number of total available data
time slots and the associated system bus clock rate. If the total time slots are a multiple of 32,
SBI also defines which bus group of 32 byte-interleaved time slots are assigned to the

outputs from multiple devices are allowed to share common receive system bus connections.
Unused time slots are three-stated during those bus groups not selected by SBI mode [addr

0 = RSB time slot value repeated for all bus groups
1 = three-state RSB outputs during unused bus groups

reinserted on RPCMO, as controlled by System Bus Per-Channel [SBCn; addr 0E0–0FF] and
RX Per-Channel [RPCn; addr 180–19F] controls.

programmed as input.
0 = RFSYNC or RMSYNC rising edge output (falling edge input)
1 = RFSYNC or RMSYNC falling edge output (rising edge input)
When RFSYNC or RMSYNC is an input and configured for rising edge sampling,
RFSYNC or RMSYNC must be sampled low during the previous falling clock edge, then
sampled high at the rising clock edge. (Refer to Figure 5-5, SBI Timing: Setup and Hold Time
for RFSYNC/RMSYNC and TFSYNC/TMSYNC Input Signals and Table 5-6, Input Data Setup

unused by the selected SBI mode [addr 0D0].
0 = SIGFRZ repeats for all bus groups
1 = three-state SIGFRZ during unused bus groups
RSB_CTR
Force RSLIP to Center—Writing a one to RSB_CTR forces RSLIP read buffer pointer to its
initial delay condition. If RFSYNC or RMSYNC is programmed as an output, RSB_CTR
forces a change of system bus sync alignment. The processor must assert RSB_CTR after
configuration of the receive slip buffer. Centering RSLIP does not effect RSLIP status reported
in ISR.5 [addr 006]. RSB_CTR must be written to a 1, then to a 0. This bit is not self-clearing.

RINDO, and SIGFRZ time slots. If the sync pulses are desired to coincide with location of T1
F-bit or time slot 0 Bit 1, OFFSET is programmed to equal 0. Sync bit offset is added to time
slot offset [RSYNC_TS; addr 0D3] to form a 10-bit OFFSET value that applies to RFSYNC
location, which is then added to frame offset [RSYNC_FRM; addr 0D8]. This forms a 15-bit
OFFSET value that applies to the RMSYNC location. Both RFSYNC and RMSYNC offsets
are expressed as RSB.OFFSET, allowing the system to generate or accept sync pulses at any

Force RSIG Interrupt—Allows the processor to receive an interrupt on RSIG [addr 008] at
every multiframe boundary. Applicable only to T1 mode. Overrides STACK interrupt.
0 = RSIG interrupt on signaling STACK change
1 = RSIG interrupts on T1 multiframe boundary
SET_SIG
Overwrite Robbed-Bit Signaling—Applicable only during T1 mode and function dependent
on RIDLE. When RIDLE is inactive, SET_SIG forces receive robbed-bit signaling to one
before updating the RSLIP time slot value. Bit 8 of each time slot received during signaling
frames 6, 12, 18, and 24 is replaced with a 1. This function is particularly useful in
cross-connect and exchange systems that strip robbed-bit signaling, or in systems that use
different signaling frame alignment on inbound and outbound ports.
0 = no change to receive signaling
1 = replace robbed-bit signaling
UNICODE
Inband Signaling Freeze (applicable to T1 modes only)—If UNICODE is enabled, received
ABCD signaling on all channels is searched on a per-channel basis for the 4-bit UNICODE
pattern. UNICODE pattern detection inhibits STACK and RSIG buffer updates for that
channel as long as UNICODE is present, but does not affect SIGFRZ output. It is not reported
to the processor. This function is described in Bellcore TR-TSY-000303, Section 4.4.9, Revision
2, July 1989.
0 = no effect
1 = enable UNICODE detection and per-channel signaling freeze
DEBOUNCE
Debounce Receive ABCD Signaling—Applicable only to those channels where the signaling
stack is enabled (SIG_STK; addr 180–19F). The signaling buffer (RSIG) output updates for
these channels are evaluated after D-bit signaling is received. New signaling is placed into
RSIG and STACK buffers only if the RSIG input and output values differ. The DEBOUNCE
function filters single bit errors in ABCD signaling by comparing incoming bits, buffered bits
from the previous multiframe, and output bits on a bit-by-bit basis. A signaling error is
detected if the new input signaling and current output signaling are the same but differ from
the current buffered signaling. When this occurs, the current buffered signaling is rejected, and
the output signaling does not change. Therefore, output signaling is updated only when the
current buffered signaling and the input signaling are equal. At the end of each multiframe, the
entire input ABCD value is copied to the output ABCD value.
0 = no effect
1 = debounce receive ABCD signaling

Enable Transparent Robbed-Bit Signaling—RMSYNC is forced to align with respect to RX
timebase and follow each change of receiver's multiframe alignment, plus any frame offset
caused by RSLIP buffer delay. In this manner, RMSYNC is able to retain its signaling
multiframe alignment with respect to RPCMO output data frames. THRU mode is required
when RSLIP is configured in Bypass mode. It is also useful for ADPCM transcoder systems
that utilize robbed-bit signaling during frames other than normal (modulo 6) signaling frames,
and therefore cannot utilize RPCMO signaling reinsertion in ADPCM coded channels. During
THRU mode, RMSYNC must be programmed as an output [PIO; addr 018]. RMSYNC can
follow a change of RX multiframe alignment without generating an alarm indication (e.g.,
receiver change of SF alignment without accompanying loss of basic frame alignment).

0DA—Receive Signaling Stack (STACK)
STACK contains new signaling information from those channels with SIG_STK [addr 180–19F] enabled.
STACK allows the processor to monitor only changed ABCD signaling values from the selected channels.
RSIG interrupt [addr 008] is triggered at the end of any multiframe where one or more ABCD signaling values
have changed. The processor reads the STACK address twice to retrieve the channel number (Word 0) and to
retrieve the new ABCD value (Word 1). The processor continues to read from STACK until empty. An empty
Stack is indicated when either MORE = 0 in Word 1 or no Word 1 exists (the last two STACK reads are Word 0).
Internal STACK read/write pointers are initialized by RESET [addr 001]. STACK contents are updated for
each channel in which the stack is enabled [SIG_STK; addr 180–19F]. STACK contents are updated with new
output signaling if the buffered RSIGn input and output ABCD signaling values differ. STACK is evaluated on a
channel-by-channel basis after the D-bit is updated. The processor must poll the RSIG interrupt to determine
when STACK has new information.

assigned system bus time slots must equal the number of line time slots; therefore, ASSIGN
must be active in all 32 SBCn locations during E1 modes. The receiver does not update
unassigned time slots as it fills the RSLIP buffer. T1 time slots are filled sequentially from
RSLIP 1 to 24. Time slots 0 and 25 to 31 are reserved for unassigned values. Values are read
from either assigned or unassigned locations in a sequential fashion based on the ASSIGN bit.

Transmit Idle—Transmit data supplied from TSLIP_LO buffer contents. The processor writes
an 8-bit idle pattern to TSLIP_LO for output on the selected time slot, or optionally writes
real-time data output to TSLIP_LO after each TFRAME interrupt [ISR3; addr 008]. Only

TLOCAL
Transmit Local Signaling—When active, TLOCAL transmits TSIGA–TSIGD values in output
ABCD signaling bits.

1 = transmit signaling from TSIGA–TSIGD
In E1, when it is attempted to merge signaling embedded in the TPCMI datastream with
signaling inserting by TLOCAL [TPCn; addr 100-11F], the signaling inserted by TLOCAL
appears two time slots early with TX_ALIGN bit set in [TSB_CR; addr 0D4]. Therefore,
signaling intended for TS1 would instead be inserted into TS31. TX_ALIGN needs to be set.
This offset does not occur during local signaling insertion for all 32 time slots. In T1,
transmitting local signaling should be synchronized with Transmit Multiframe interrupt
[TMF_IER3; addr 010]. This would avoid transmitting intermediate values.
TSIGA–TSIGD
Transmit Local Signaling—Holds the 4-bit ABCD signaling value, which is output when
TLOCAL is active. In AB only applications, such as T1/SF framing, TSIGC and TSIGD must
also be written with the same data as TSIGA and TSIGB. In E1 modes, TS0 and TS16 local
signaling value determines CAS multiframe alignment signal (MAS) and XYXX output.

TSIG16 buffer locations hold the CAS multiframe alignment signal (MAS.1 through MAS.4), extra bits (X.1
through X.4), and multiframe Yellow Alarm (MYEL) bits supplied from TSIGI.

RSIG_AB/EMFBIT
AB Signaling (Per-Channel RSIG_AB [without DEBOUNCE])—In E1 mode, received
signaling is placed into RSIGn, but RSIGO output duplicates the buffered AB bit value in the
CD output bits, thus sending ABAB on RSIGO instead of ABCD. In T1 mode, RSIG_AB
instructs the receiver to use the available RSIGn buffer space to meet PUB43801 and
TR-170—which require three SF multiframes of receive signaling buffer storage before
output. Every 24 frames, the received ABCD signaling value is transferred from the RSIGn
input buffer space to the RSIGn output buffer space, regardless of whether the receiver
operates in SF, SLC, or ESF mode. In SF mode, the ABCD value contains AB = AB(N–1), and
CD = AB(N) from two multiframes. Since multiframe N–1 is the older sample, AB(N–1)
replaces AB(N) in the event of signaling freeze. RSIGO and RPCMO signaling bit output
values are always taken from RSIGn output buffer according to RSB frame number.
0 = normal ABCD and embedded F-bit throughput
1 = AB signaling and embedded F-bit replacement
AB Signaling (Per-Channel RSIG_AB [with DEBOUNCE])—Debounce affects RSIGn
input buffer update mechanism by comparing—on a bit-by-bit basis—the present received
input signaling bit value with the current buffered signaling bit values from two prior
multiframes. If signaling from prior multiframe (N) differs from input and input equals
buffered value from two multiframes prior (N–1), the signaling bit value from multiframe N is
inverted when the input buffer is updated.

When RIDLE is active in an unassigned time slot defined to carry embedded F-bits,
EMFBIT replaces all embedded F-bit outputs on RPCMO with the programmed value.
RIDLE
Time Slot Idle—When RIDLE is active, the incoming RX time slot data is only updated in
RSLIP_HIn buffer, and the RSB time slot data output is only extracted from RSLIP_LOn
buffer. Thus, the processor can write an 8-bit idle code pattern in RSLIP_LOn buffer for output
during RSB time slot.
0 = no effect
1 = RSB time slot replaced by contents of RSLIP_LOn
SIG_STK
Receive Signaling Stack—Selects whether changes detected in the ABCD signaling value are
reported in the signaling stack [addr 0DA]. Signaling for all time slots is continuously updated
in RSIGn buffer, regardless of the SIG_STK setting.
0 = no effect
1 = signaling stack

RLOCAL
Enable Local Signaling Output—Determines whether the RSIGO output signaling and
RPCMO inserted signaling [INSERT; addr 0E0-0FF] are supplied from the RSIGn output
buffer or processor-supplied local signaling from RSIGA–RSIGD.
0 = RSIGn buffer signaling
1 = RSIGA-RSIGD local signaling
RSIGA–RSIGD
Local Receive Signaling—When RLOCAL is active, these four bits are inserted into RSIGO
instead of the buffered signaling from RSIGn. If both RLOCAL and INSERT are active, they
are also inserted into RPCMO during system bus signaling frames.
0 = output signaling bit equals 0
1 = output signaling bit equals 1
1A0–1BF—Receive Signaling Buffer (RSIGn; n = 0 to 31)
The Receive Signaling Buffer (RSIGn) contains all ABCD signaling inputs from all channels, regardless of
whether signaling is active [SIG_STK; addr 180–19F]. RSIGn is not updated during signaling freeze
conditions, or when the receive framer is configured in a non-signaling mode. Normal signaling buffer
operation transfers ABCD input to ABCD output, coincident with the D-bit update (in T1 mode), or coincident
with the receipt of the respective channel's ABCD signaling during TS16 (in E1 mode). When DEBOUNCE is
active, output signaling for active channels is updated coincident with the sampling of each input signaling bit.
This may cause the buffered output value to transition in the middle of the received multiframe.

Line side secondary surge protection to meet FCC Part 68, Bellcore TR-NWT-001089, and IEC 1000-4-5 requirements.
These components are: 1. TVS-LC01-6 Semtech, 2. PTC-TR600-160 Raychem, 3. TVS Thyristor—Teccor P3100SB.
A thyristor device (crow bar device) is used to protect against common mode (longitudinal) surges.
A Thyristor device with 275 V breakover voltage rated to handle 100A (tp = 10X100Us) is required.
A LC01-6 device provides protection during the metallic high surge lightning tests.
It is designed to shunt the surge current with a maximum clamping voltage of 16 V below the transformer saturation point.
The low capacitance characteristic of LC01-6 (50 pF) is required to avoid signal degration of the high speed digital pulse. A
PTC device is used for AC power cross faults, meeting the requirements of Bellcore 1089 and UL1459.
Chip side Secondary surge protection. Diodes should be low capacitance, fast turn-on Schottky or surge protection
diodes. These components are: 1. Schottky Diode—10BQ040(surface mount) or 11DQ04(discrete) International Rectifier
or one 20CJQ04 with two 10BQ040 2. two 2.1 Ω, 1/4 W, 1% Resistors. The two 470 Ω resistors in series with RTIP/RRING
are used to limit the current going into the device while the power is off and T1/E1 lines are connected.
Optional programmable receive termination –75/100/120 Ω.
Optional fixed transmit termination. The value shown provides acceptable transmit return loss for T1 and E1 applications.
Required fixed receive termination. The parallel combination of the fixed termination and programmable termination plus
series value of the primary surge protection line feed resistor (PTC) should match the line impedance required.
VSET Resistor. The VSET resistance value controls the transmit signal amplitude and depending on the line feed resistance
(PTC) in the primary surge protection circuit, its value can be fine-tuned. Use R (VSET) = 14 k if total line series resistance
is 0 to 12 Ω.
The Physical area between the connector and chokes should be kept small in order to avoid high frequency coupling and to
improve emissions test. Another good option is to place chokes between PTC and the Line side surge protection device. If
common mode noise is a concern then use the through hole package (PE65854) at the connector.

Line side secondary surge protection to meet FCC Part 68, Bellcore TR-NWT-001089, and IEC 1000-4-5 requirements.
These components are: 1. TVS-LC01-6 Semtech, 2. PTC-TR600-160 Raychem, or 1. Thyristor (Sidactor)—Teccor
P0300SB, 2. PTC-TR600-160 Raychem can be used.
An LC01-6 device provides protection during high surge lightning tests. It is designed to shunt the surge current with a
maximum clamping voltage of 16 V maximum, below the transformer saturation point.
A Thyristor (Sidactor—Teccor P0300SB) clamps the voltage at 40 V maximum.
A PTC device is used for power cross faults, meeting the requirements of Bellcore 1089 and UL1459.
Chip side Secondary surge protection. Diodes should be low capacitance, fast turn-on Schottky or surge protection
diodes. These components are: 1. Schottky Diode—11DQ04 (disrete) or 10BQ040 (surface mount) International Rectifier,
2. two 2.1 Ω, 1/4 W, 1% Resistors. The two 470 Ω resistors in series with RTIP/RRING are used to limit the current going
into the device while the power is off and T1/E1 lines are connected.
Optional programmable receive termination –75/100/120 Ω.
Optional fixed transmit termination. The value shown provides acceptable transmit return loss for T1 and E1 applications.
Required fixed receive termination. The parallel combination of the fixed termination and programmable termination plus
the primary surge protection line feed resistor (PTC) must match the line impedance.
VSET Resistor. The VSET resistance value controls the transmit signal amplitude and depending on the line feed resistance
(PTC) in the primary surge protection circuit, its value can be fine-tuned. Use R (VSET) = 14 k if total line feed resistance is
0 to 12 Ω.
The Physical area between the connector and chokes should be kept small in order to avoid high frequency coupling and to
improve emissions test. Another good option is to place chokes between PTC and Line side surge protection device. If
common mode noise is a concern then use the through hole package (PE65854) at the connector.

A.1 Superframe Format (SF)
The Superframe Format (SF), is also referred to as the D4 format. The
requirement for associated signaling in frames 6 and 12 dictates that the frames
be distinguishable. This leads to a multiframe structure consisting of 12 frames
per superframe (SF). See Figure A-1 and Table A-1 and A-2.
The SF structure consists of a multiframe of 12 frames. Each frame has 24
channels, plus an F-bit, and 8 bits per channel. A channel is equivalent to one
voice circuit or one 64 kbps data circuit.
This structure of frames and multiframes is defined by the F-bit pattern. The
F-bit is designated alternately as an Ft bit (terminal framing bit) or an Fs bit
(signalling framing bit). The Ft bit carries a pattern of alternating 0s and 1s
(101010) in odd frames that defines the frame boundaries so that one channel can
be distinguished from another. The Fs bit carries a pattern of (001110) in even
frames, and defines the multiframe boundaries so that one frame can be
distinguished from another.

SLC framing mode allows synchronization to the SLC 96 data link pattern. This
pattern, which is described in the Bellcore TR-TSY-000008, contains both
signaling information and a framing pattern that overwrites the Fs bit of the SF
framer pattern (Table A-1). See Table A-3 for SLC-96 Fs bit contents.

Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
A.4 Extended Superframe Format (ESF)
In Extended Superframe Format (ESF) Figure A-2, and Table A-4, the
multiframe structure is extended to 24 frames. The channel structure is identical
to D4 (SF) format. Robbed-bit signaling is accommodated in frame 6 (A-bit),
frame 12 (B-bit), frame 18 (C-bit), and frame 24 (D-bit).
The F-bit pattern of ESF contains three functions:
1. Framing Pattern Sequence (FPS), which defines the frame and multiframe
boundaries.
2. Facility Data Link (FDL), which allows data such as error performance to
be passed within the T1 link.
3. Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), which allows error performance to be
monitored and enhances the reliability of the receiver's framing algorithm.

Bt8370 only supports CHI and GCI buses if N = 24, 32 or 48, although either
bus is defined to operate at Nx64 from N = 4 to N = 48. Bt8370 does not support
AT&T's Dual CHI (separate A/B buses) or K2 buses, nor does it support INTEL's
SLD (ping/pong) 3-pin bus.
