G.742, G.745, G.751, or G.753. The E2/E3 Framer interfaces to line circuitry with either dual rail or NRZ signals. On the terminal side, the interface can be either nibble-parallel or bitserial. The MT90732 can be operated with or without a microprocessor. When interfaced with a microprocessor, the E2/E3 Framer provides an 8byte memory map for control, performance counters and alarm status. The MT90732 provides a transmit and receive interface port for accessing the overhead bits from each of the four recommendations. The overhead bits can also be accessed by the microprocessor via the memory map.

In the transmit direction, the BIP-4 is calculated for data nibbles only, and is sent as the last nibble in the frame format. In the receive direction, the BIP-4 is calculated for the data bits only and compared against the received value which is present in the last four bits of the frame. An output indication (BIP-4E) occurs when one or more columns do not match. 16 15 M1 M0 I Mode Control. The two controls select the operating rate of the E2/E3F according to the table given below.

Recovery occurs on the first clock transition. 60 BIP-4E O BIP-4E. A positive pulse occurs when the comparison between the received BIP-4 value and the calculated value does not match in a column. Note: I = Input, O = Output, P = Power Functional Description The block diagram for the E2/E3F is shown in Figure 1. The E2/E3F receives NRZ data signal (RDL) and clock signal (RCKL), or a positive (RP) and negative (RN) rail signal and clock signal (RCK), from a line interface circuit. The selection of the line interface, dual rail or NRZ, is controlled by the external lead labeled NRZ LINE. Indications of HDB3 coding violation errors are provided on an external signal lead (CV) as pulses. Coding violation errors are also counted in an 8-bit saturating counter accessed by the microprocessor through the memory map. The selection of the framing format (G.742, G.745, G.751 or G.753) is done by external control leads (M1 and M0), or by the microprocessor. The Framer Block performs frame alignment and alarm detection including Loss of Frame (RLOF), Loss of Clock (RLOC), AIS detection (RAIS) and BIP-4 detection (BIP-4E). A framing error (FE) output is also provided to indicate when any of the framing bits in the G. 7XX frame are in error. The disable AIS (DAIS) control lead permits the E2/E3F to provide receive data on the terminal side 5-20 regardless of frame alignment. The external alarm indications (latched and unlatched states) are provided in the memory map, and unlatched alarm indications are provided at signal leads. The E2/E3F terminal side output block provides either a bit-serial or a nibble-parallel interface. The interface is selected by an external control lead (SER) or by the microprocessor. The bit-serial interface consists of the following signals: a data output signal (RSD), a clock output signal (RSC), a receive clock gapped output signal (RCG), and a framing pulse (RSF). The receive clock gapped signal (RCG) identifies framing and service bit times. The nibble-parallel interface consists of data output signal having a nibble format (RNIB3 through RNIB0), a clock output signal (RNC), and a framing pulse (RNF). In the nibble mode, the framing pattern, service bits and BIP-4 nibble are not provided at the interface. The receive nibble clock (RNC) is gapped during framing pattern, service bit and BIP-4 times. Advance Information CMOS The transmitter operates independently of the receiver, unless the loop timing feature(LPT) is selected, when the receive clock becomes the transmitted clock. In the transmit direction, the terminal side bit-serial interface consists of: data input signal (XSD), a clock input signal (XCK), and a framing pulse (XSF). The nibble-parallel interface consists of the following signals: a data input signal having a nibble format (XNIB3 - XNIB0), a clock input signal (XCK), a framing output pulse (XNF), and a nibble output clock signal (XNC). The transmit nibble clock (XNC) is stretched to accommodate the framing pattern, service bit and BIP-4 times. MT90372 provides interface to service bits as defined in G.7XX recommendations.The receive service bit interface consists of: data output (ROD), clock output (ROC), and framing pulse (ROF) output. The clock signal (ROC) is gapped and is provided for clocking out the service bits. The service bit states are also written into E2/E3F memory locations, which can be read by the microprocessor. The transmitted service bits are inserted into the frame format from either an external interface or from memory map locations. The transmit service bit interface consists of data input signal (TOD), a clock output (TOC), and a framing pulse (TOF) output. To fix transmit time-base for the terminal payload multiplexer circuitry, while operating in the bit-serial mode, the E2/E3F provides a transmit frame reference generator. The transmit frame reference generator accepts an external 8.448 or 34.368 MHz clock signal (TCIN) and produces a clock out signal (TCOUT), a framing pulse (TFOUT), a clock gap signal (TCG), and a data signal (TDOUT). The data signal consists of G.7XX framing bits and zeros elsewhere. MT90732 also controls the receive interface selection. When the internal HDB3 Encoder Block is bypassed, the transmit line interface consists of a data signal (TDL) and a clock signal (TCKL). When the HDB3 encoder is enabled, the transmit line interface consists of positive (TP) and negative (TN) rail signals and a clock signal (TCK). A high placed on the microprocessor control lead (MICRO) selects the microprocessor interface. All the external control leads, except the loop timing (LPT), receive AIS disable (DAIS), and the line interface control leads (NRZLINE) are disabled when the microprocessor interface is selected. The microprocessor interface consists of eight bidirectional data and address leads (AD7 - AD0), along with other microprocessor control leads, including a ready (RDY) signal. Typical Application The E2/E3 Framer is used for wideband data transport as shown in Figure 2. In the receive direction, the E2/E3 Framer receives NRZ or dual rail data from LIU, removes overhead bits and puts out only the payload of the incoming signal to the terminal. Overhead bits can be accessed through microprocessor or by service bit interface. In the transmit direction, the E2/E3 Framer receives data generated from Data Source, adds framing pattern and service bits and sends it out to LIU. The E2/E3 Framer handles wideband data at either 8448 or 34 368 Kb/s, and can optionally perform BIP-4 making data transport more reliable. The selection of the transmit line interface, dual rail or NRZ, is controlled by the NRZLINE control lead, which Line Side Terminal Side Rx Line Interface Unit E2/E3 Framer Wideband Data Sink/ Source Tx Overhead bit-I/O Figure 2.
