The MT9173 (DSIC) and MT9174 (DNIC) are
functionally identical to the MT9171/72 except for the
addition of one feature. The MT9173/74 include a
digital output pin indicating the temporal position of the
received "SYNC" bit of the biphase transmission. This
feature is especially useful for systems such as PCS

Functional Description
The MT9173 and MT9174 are multifunction devices capable of providing high speed, full duplex digital transmission
at up to 160 kbit/s over a twisted wire pair. They use adaptive echo-cancelling techniques and transfer data in a
format compatible to the ISDN basic rate. Several modes of operation allow an easy interface to digital
telecommunication networks including PCS wireless base stations, smart telephone sets, workstations, data
terminals and computers. The device supports the 2B+D channel format (two 64 kbit/s B-channels and one
16 kbit/s D-channel) over two wires as recommended by the CCITT. The line data is converted to and from the STBUS format on the system side of the network to allow for easy interfacing with other components such as the Sinterface device in an NT1 arrangement, or to digital PABX components.
Smart telephone sets with data and voice capability can be easily implemented using the MT9173/74 as a line
interface. The device’s high bandwidth and long loop length capability allows its use in a wide variety of sets. This
can be extended to provide full data and voice capability to the private subscriber by the installation of equipment in
both the home and central office or remote concentration equipment. Within the subscriber equipment the
MT9173/74 would terminate the line and encode/ decode the data and voice for transmission while additional
electronics could provide interfaces for a standard telephone set and any number of data ports supporting standard
data rates for such things as computer communications and telemetry for remote meter reading. Digital
workstations with a high degree of networking capability can be designed using the DNIC for the line interface,
offering up to 160 kbit/s data transmission over existing telephone lines. The MT9173/74 could also be valuable
within existing computer networks for connecting a large number of terminals to a computer or for intercomputer
links. With the DNIC, this can be accomplished at up to 160 kbit/s at a very low cost per line for terminal to
computer links and in many cases this bandwidth would be sufficient for computer to computer links.
Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the MT9173/74. The DNIC provides a bidirectional interface between the DV
(data/voice) port and a full duplex line operating at 80 or 160 kbit/s over a single pair of twisted wires. The DNIC has
three serial ports. The DV port (DSTi/Di, DSTo/Do), the CD (control/data) port (CDSTi/CDi, CDSTo/CDo) and a line
port (LIN, LOUT). The data on the line is made up of information from the DV and CD ports. The DNIC must combine
information received from both the DV and CD ports and put it onto the line. At the same time, the data received
from the line must be split into the various channels and directed to the proper ports. The usable data rates are 72

and 144 kbit/s as required for the basic rate interface in ISDN. Full duplex transmission is made possible through
on board adaptive echo cancellation.
The DNIC has various modes of operation which are selected through the mode select pins MS0-2. The two major
modes of operation are the MODEM (MOD) and DIGITAL NETWORK (DN) modes. MOD mode is a transparent 80
or 160 kbit/s modem. In DN mode the line carries the B and D channels formatted for the ISDN at either 80 or
160 kbit/s. In the DN mode the DV and CD ports are standard ST-BUS and in MOD mode they are transparent
serial data streams at 80 or 160 kbit/s. Other modes include: MASTER (MAS) or SLAVE (SLV) mode, where the
timebase and frame synchronization are provided externally or are extracted from the line and DUAL or SINGLE
(SINGL) port modes, where both the DV and CD ports are active or where the CD port is inactive and all
information is passed through the DV port. For a detailed description of the modes see “Operating Modes” section.
In DIGITAL NETWORK (DN) mode there are three channels transferred by the DV and CD ports. They are the B, C
and D channels. The B1 and B2 channels each have a bandwidth of 64 kbit/s and are used for carrying PCM
encoded voice or data. These channels are always transmitted and received through the DV port (Figures 3, 4, 5,
6). The C-channel, having a bandwidth of 64 kbit/s, provides a means for the system to control the DNIC and for the
DNIC to pass status information back to the system. The C-channel has a Housekeeping (HK) bit which is the only
bit of the C-channel transmitted and received on the line. The 2B+D channel bits and the HK bit are doublebuffered. The D-channel can be transmitted or received on the line with either an 8, 16 or 64 kbit/s bandwidth
depending on the DNIC’s mode of operation. Both the HK bit and the D-channel can be used for end-to-end
signalling or low speed data transfer. In DUAL port mode the C and D channels are accessed via the CD port
(Figure 7) while in SINGL port mode they are transferred through the DV port (Figures 5, 6) along with the B1 and
B2 channels.

Figure 8 - CD Port (Modes 1,5)
In DIGITAL NETWORK (DN) mode, upon entering the DNIC from the DV and CD ports, the B-channel data, Dchannel D0 (and D1 for 160 kbit/s), the HK bit of the C-channel (160 kbit/s only) and a SYNC bit are combined in a
serial format to be sent out on the line by the Transmit Interface (Figures 11, 12). The SYNC bit produces an
alternating 1-0 pattern each frame in order for the remote end to extract the frame alignment from the line. It is
possible for the remote end to lock on to a data bit pattern which simulates this alternating 1-0 pattern that is not the
true SYNC. To decrease the probability of this happening the DNIC may be programmed to put the data through a
prescrambler that scrambles the data according to a predetermined polynomial with respect to the SYNC bit. This
greatly decreases the probability that the SYNC pattern can be reproduced by any data on the line. In order for the
echo canceller to function correctly, a dedicated scrambler is used with a scrambling algorithm which is different for
the SLV and MAS modes. These algorithms are calculated in such a way as to provide orthogonality between the
near and far end data streams such that the correlation between the two signals is very low.
For any two DNICs on a link, one must be in SLV mode with the other in MAS mode. The scrambled data is
differentially encoded which serves to make the data on the line polarity-independent. It is then biphase encoded as
shown in Figure 10. See “Line Interface” section for more details on the encoding. Before leaving the DNIC the
differentially encoded biphase data is passed through a pulse-shaping bandpass transmit filter that filters out the
high and low frequency components and conditions the signal for transmission on the line.

Data Sheet
The composite transmit and receive signal is received at LIN. On entering the DNIC this signal passes through a
Precanceller which is a summing amplifier and lowpass filter that partially cancels the near-end signal and provides
first order antialiasing for the received signal. Internal, partial cancellation of the near end signal may be disabled by
holding the Precan pin high. This mode simplifies the design of external line transceivers used for loop extension
applications. The Precan pin features an internal pull-down which allows this pin to be left unconnected in
applications where this function is not required. The resultant signal passes through a receive filter to bandlimit and
equalize it. At this point, the echo estimate from the echo canceller is subtracted from the precancelled received
signal. This difference signal is then input to the echo canceller as an error signal and also squared up by a
comparator and passed to the biphase receiver. Within the echo canceller, the sign of this error signal is
determined. Depending on the sign, the echo estimate is either incremented or decremented and this new estimate
is stored back in RAM.
The timebase in both SLV and MAS modes (generated internally in SLV mode and externally in MAS mode) is
phase-locked to the received data stream. This phase-locked clock operates the Biphase Decoder, Descrambler
and Deprescrambler in MAS mode and the entire chip in SLV mode. The Biphase Decoder decodes the received
encoded bit stream resulting in the original NRZ data which is passed onto the Descrambler and Deprescrambler
where the data is restored to its original content by performing the reverse polynomials. The SYNC bits are
extracted and the Receive Interface separates the channels and outputs them to the proper ports in the proper
channel times. The destination of the various channels is the same as that received on the input DV and CD ports.

MT9173/74
Data Sheet
The Transmit/Receive Timing and Control block generates all the clocks for the transmit and receive functions and
controls the entire chip according to the control register. In order that more than one DNIC may be connected to the
same DV and CD ports an F0o signal is generated which signals the next device in a daisy chain that its channel
times are now active. In this arrangement only the first DNIC in the chain receives the system F0 with the following
devices receiving its predecessor’s F0o.
In MOD mode, all the ports have a different format. The line port again operates at 80 or 160 kbit/s, however, there
is no synchronization overhead, only transparent data. The DV and CD ports carry serial data at 80 or 160 kbit/s
with the DV port transferring all the data for the line and the CD port carrying the C-channel only. In this mode the
transfer of data at both ports is synchronized to the TCK and RCK clocks for transmit and receive data, respectively.
The CLD signal goes low to indicate the start of the C-channel data on the CD port. It is used to load and latch the
input and output C-channel but has no relationship to the data on the DV port.
In DN MAS mode, the RxSB pin outputs a pulse corresponding to the position of the synchronization bit within the
received biphase data stream. Since the delay in transmission between DNICs is dependent upon line length, the
position of the RxSB pulse will vary as the line length is varied. This feature can be used to determine total loop
delay which is necessary in wireless base stations where all of the microcells need to be synchronized. In DN SLV
mode, The RxSB pin is also active although its timing is fixed and does not vary with line length. For both DN MAS
and SLV modes, the RxSB pin can be also used as a hardware SYNC indicator. In MODEM mode, for both MAS
and SLV ends, the RxSB pin is inactive and held low.
Operating Modes (MS0-2)
The logic levels present on the mode select pins MS0, MS1 and MS2 program the DNIC for different operating
modes and configure the DV and CD ports accordingly. Table 1 shows the modes corresponding to the state of
MS0-2. These pins select the DNIC to operate as a MASTER or SLAVE, in DUAL or SINGLE port operation, in
MODEM or DIGITAL NETWORK mode and the order of the C and D channels on the CD port. Table 2 provides a
description of each mode and Table 3 gives a pin configuration according to the mode selected for all pins that have
variable functions. These functions vary depending on whether it is in MAS or SLV, and whether DN or MOD mode
is used.

Function
SLV
Slave - The chip timebase is extracted from the received line data and the external 10.24 MHz
crystal is phase locked to it to provide clocks for the entire device and are output for the external
system to synchronize to.
MAS
Master - The timebase is derived from the externally supplied data clocks and 10.24 MHz clock
which must be frequency locked. The transmit data is synchronized to the system timing with the
receive data recovered by a clock extracted from the receive data and resynchronized to the system
timing.
DUAL
Dual Port - Both the CD and DV ports are active with the CD port transferring the C&D channels
and the DV port transferring the B1& B2 channels.
SINGL
Single Port - The B1& B2, C and D channels are all transferred through the DV port. The CD port is
disabled and CDSTi should be pulled high.
MOD
Modem - Baseband operation at 80 or 160 kbits/s. The line data is received and transmitted
through the DV port at the baud rate selected. The C-channel is transferred through the CD port
also at the baud rate and is synchronized to the CLD output.
DN
Digital Network - Intended for use in the digital network with the DV and CD ports operating at
2.048 Mbits/s and the line at 80 or 160 kbits/s configured according to the applicable ISDN
recommendation.
D-C

ODE
- The D-channel is transferred before the C-channel following F0.
C before D-Channel - The C-channel is transferred before the D-channel following F0.
Output Data Enable - When mode 7 is selected, the DV and CD ports are put in high impedance
state. This is intended for power-up reset to avoid bus contention and possible damage to the
device during the initial random state in a daisy chain configuration of DNICs. In all the other modes
of operation DV and CD ports are enabled during the appropriate channel times.

Data Sheet
The overall mode of operation of the DNIC can be programmed to be either a baseband modem (MOD mode) or a
digital network transceiver (DN mode). As a baseband modem, transmit/receive data is passed transparently
through the device at 80 or 160 kbit/s by the DV port. The CD port transfers the C-channel and D-Channel also at
80 or 160 kbit/s.
In DN mode, both the DV and CD ports operate as ST-BUS streams at 2.048 Mbit/s. The DV port transfers data
over pins DSTi and DSTo while on the CD port, the CDSTi and CDSTo pins are used. The SINGL port option only
exists in DN mode.
In MOD mode, DUAL port operation must be used and the D, B1 and B2 channel designations no longer exist. The
selection of SLV or MAS will determine which of the DNICs is using the externally supplied clock and which is
phase locking to the data on the line. Due to jitter and end to end delay, one end must be the master to generate all
the timing for the link and the other must extract the timing from the receive data and synchronize itself to this timing
in order to recover the synchronous data. DUAL port mode allows the user to use two separate serial busses: the
DV port for PCM/data (B channels) and the CD port for control and signalling information (C and D channels). In the
SINGL port mode, all four channels are concatenated into one serial stream and input to the DNIC via the DV port.
The order of the C and D channels may be changed only in DN/DUAL mode. The DNIC may be configured to
transfer the D-channel in channel 0 and the C-channel in channel 16 or vice versa. One other feature exists; ODE,
where both the DV and CD ports are tristated in order that no devices are damaged due to excessive loading while
all DNICs are in a random state on power up in a daisy chain arrangement.
DV Port (DSTi/Di, DSTo/Do)
The DV port transfers data or PCM encoded voice to and from the line according to the particular mode selected by
the mode select pins. The modes affecting the configuration of the DV port are MOD or DN and DUAL or SINGL. In
DN mode the DV port operates as an ST-BUS at 2.048 Mbit/s with 32, 8 bit channels per frame as shown in Figure
9. In this mode the DV port channel configuration depends upon whether DUAL or SINGL port is selected. When
DUAL port mode is used, the C and D channels are passed through the CD port and the B1 and B2 channels are
passed through the DV port. At 80 kbit/s only one channel of the available 32 at the DV port is utilized, this being
channel 0 which carries the B1-channel. This is shown in Figure 3. At 160 kbit/s, two channels are used, these
being 0 and 16 carrying the B1 and B2 channels, respectively. This is shown in Figure 4. When SINGL port mode is
used, channels B1, B2, C and D are all passed via the DV port and the CD port is disabled. See CD port description
for an explanation of the C and D channels.

The D-channel is always passed during channel time 0 followed by the C and B1 channels in channel times 1 and
2, respectively for 80 kbit/s. See Figure 5. For 160 kbit/s the B2 channel is added and occupies channel time 3 of
the DV port. See Figure 6. For all of the various configurations the bit orders are shown by the respective diagram.
In MOD mode the DV and CD ports no longer operate at 2.048 Mbits/s but are continuous serial bit streams
operating at the bit rate selected of 80 or 160 kbit/s. While in the MOD mode only DUAL port operation can be used.

Data Sheet
In order for more than one DNIC to be connected to any one DV and CD port, making more efficient use of the
busses, the DSTo and CDSTo outputs are put into high impedance during the inactive channel times of the DNIC.
This allows additional DNICs to be cascaded onto the same DV and CD ports. When used in this way a signal
called F0o is used as an indication to the next DNIC in a daisy chain that its channel time is now active. Only the
first DNIC in the chain receives the system frame pulse and all others receive the F0o from its predecessor
in the chain. This allows up to 16 DNICs to be cascaded.
CD Port (CDSTi/CDi, CDSTo/CDo)
The CD port is a serial bidirectional port used only in DUAL port mode. It is a means by which the DNIC receives its
control information for things such as setting the bit rate, enabling internal loopback tests, sending status
information back to the system and transferring low speed signalling data to and from the line.
The CD port is composed of the C and D-Channels. The C-channel is used for transferring control and status
information between the DNIC and the system. The D-channel is used for sending and receiving signalling
information and lower speed data between the line and the system. In DN/DUAL mode the DNIC receives a Cchannel on CDSTi while transmitting a C-channel on CDSTo. Fifteen channel times later (halfway through the
frame) a D-channel is received on CDSTi while a D-channel is transmitted on CDSTo. This is shown in Figure 7.
The order of the C and D bytes in DUAL port mode can be reversed by the mode select pins. See Table 1 for a
listing of the byte orientations.
The D-channel exists only in DN mode and may be used for transferring low speed data or signalling information
over the line at 8, 16 or 64 kbit/s (by using the DINB feature). The information passes transparently through the
DNIC and is transmitted to or received from the line at the bit rate selected in the Control Register.
If the bit rate is 80 kbit/s, only D0 is transmitted and received. At 160 kbit/s, D0 and D1 are transmitted and
received. When the DINB bit is set in the Control Register the entire D-channel is transmitted and received in the
B1-channel timeslot.
The C-channel is used for transferring control and status information between the DNIC and the system. The
Control and Diagnostics Registers are accessed through the C-channel. They contain information to control the
DNIC and carry out the diagnostics as well as the HK bit to be transmitted on the line as described in Tables 4 and
5. Bits 0 and 1 of the C-channel select between the Control and Diagnostics Register. If these bits are 0, 0 then the
C-channel information is written to the Control Register (Table 4). If they are 0, 1 the C-channel is written to the
Diagnostics Register (Table 5).

Note 3:
Do not use DSTo to DSTi loopback in MOD/MAS mode.
The Diagnostics Register Reset bit (bit 2) of the Control Register determines the reset state of the Diagnostics
Register. If, on writing to the Control Register, this bit is set to logic “0”, the Diagnostics Register will be reset
coincident with the frame pulse. When this bit is logic “1”, the Diagnostics Register will not be reset. In order to use
the diagnostic features, the Diagnostics Register must be continuously written to. The output C-channel sends
status information from the Status Register to the system along with the received HK bit as shown in Table 6.
In MOD mode, the CD port is no longer an ST-BUS but is a serial bit stream operating at the bit rate selected. It
continues to transfer the C-channel but the D-channel and the HK bit no longer exist. DUAL port operation must be
used in MOD mode. The C-channel is clocked in and out of the CD port by TCK and CLD with TCK defining the bits
and CLD the channel boundaries of the data stream as shown in Figure 8.

MT9173/74
Data Sheet
Line Port (LIN, LOUT)
The line interface is made up of LOUT and LIN with LOUT driving the transmit signal onto the line and LIN receiving the
composite transmit and receive signal from the line. The line code used in the DNIC is Biphase and is shown in
Figure 10. The scrambled NRZ data is differentially encoded meaning the previous differential encoded output is
XOR’d with the current data bit which produces the current output. This is then biphase encoded where transitions
occur midway through the bit cell with a negative going transition indicating a logic "0" and a positive going
transition indicating a logic "1".
There are some major reasons for using a biphase line code. The power density is concentrated in a spectral
region that minimizes dispersion and differential attenuation. This can shorten the line response and reduce the
intersymbol interference which are critical for adaptive echo cancellation. There are regular zero crossings halfway
through every bit cell or baud which allows simple clock extraction at the receiving end. There is no D.C. content in
the code so that phantom power feed may be applied to the line and simple transformer coupling may be used with
no effect on the data. It is bipolar, making data reception simple and providing a high signal to noise ratio. The
signal is then passed through a bandpass filter which conditions the signal for the line by limiting the spectral
content from 0.2fBaud to 1.6fBaud and on to a line driver where it is made available to be put onto the line biased at
VBias. The resulting transmit signal will have a distributed spectrum with a peak at 3/4fBaud. The transmit signal
(LOUT) may be disabled by holding the LOUT DIS pin high or by writing DLO (bit 6) of the Diagnostics Register to
logic “1”. When disabled, LOUT is forced to the VBias level. LOUT DIS has an internal pull-down to allow this pin to be
left not connected in applications where this function is not required. The receive signal is the above transmit signal
superimposed on the signal from the remote end and any reflections or delayed symbols of the near end signal.
The frame format of the transmit data on the line is shown in Figures 11 and 12 for the DN mode at 80 and
160 kbit/s. At 80 kbit/s a SYNC bit for frame recovery, one bit of the D-channel and the B1-channel are transmitted.
At 160 kbit/s a SYNC bit, the HK bit, two bits of the D-channel and both B1 and B2 channels are transmitted.
If the DINB bit of the Control Register is set, the entire D-channel is transmitted during the B1-channel timeslot. In
MOD mode the SYNC, HK and D-channel bits are not transmitted or received but rather a continuous data stream
at 80 or 160 kbit/s is present. No frame recovery information is present on the line in MOD mode.

Applications
Typical connection diagrams are shown in Figures 13 and 14 for the DN mode as a MASTER and SLAVE,
respectively. LOUT is connected to the coupling transformer through a resistor R2 and capacitors C2 and C2’ to
match the line characteristic impedance. Suggested values of R2, C2 and C2’ for 80 and 160 kbit/s operation are
provided in Figures 13 and 14. Overvoltage protection is provided by R1, D1 and D2. C1 is present to properly bias
the received line signal for the LIN input. A 2:1 coupling transformer is used to couple to the line with a secondary
center tap for optional phantom power feed. Varistors have been shown for surge protection against such things as
lightning strikes.
If the scramblers power up with all zeros in them, they are not capable of randomizing all-zeros data sequence. This
increases the correlation between the transmit and receive data which may cause loss of convergence in the echo
canceller and high bit error rates.
In DN mode the insertion of the SYNC pattern will provide enough pseudo-random activity to maintain
convergence. In MOD mode the SYNC pattern is not inserted. For this reason, at least on ”1” must be fed into the
DNIC on power up to ensure that the scramblers will randomize any subsequent all-zeros sequence.

Note 1: TCK and CLD are generated on chip and provide the data clocks for the CD port and the transmit section of the
DV port. RCK, also generated on chip, is extracted from the receive data and only clocks out the data at the Do output
and may be skewed with respect to TCK due to end-to-end delay.
Note 2: At the slave end TCK is phase locked to RCK.
The rising edge of TCK will lead the rising edge of RCK by approximately 90o.
