TAN-16 How to Generate a 1.544MHz (or 2.048MHz) Clock Signal from an 8kHz Reference Clock July 1998-2 The XRT8000 device can be configured to generate either a T1 (1.544MHz) or E1 (2.048MHz) rate clock signal, from a “Reference Clock signal of frequency 8kHz. The approach that one should use to accomplish all of this is presented below. 1. To generate a 1.544MHz clock signal, from an 8kHz clock signal: XR-T8000 8 kHz F IN CLK1 1.544 MHz CLK2 1.544 MHz MSB (CONFIG.) Microcontroller Serial Interface Figure 1. Illustration of the XRT8000 device generating a 1.544MHz clock signal from an 8kHz Reference clock signal (Reverse/Slave Mode). In order to configure the XRT8000 device to operate in this manner, the user must configure the chip to operate in the “Reverse/Slave” Mode. The user accomplishes this by executing the following steps: * Pull the MSB pin (pin 8) “low”. This will configure the device to operate in the “Slave” Mode. * Write the following values, into the corresponding “Configuration Registers”, (via the Microprocessor Serial Interface) as tabulated below in Table 1.

Further, it configures each of the PLLs to generate a 1.544 MHz clock signal. Setting the fifth bit to “1”, enables PLL #1. If one does not wish to generate the 1.544 MHz clock via pin 6, then one should set this bit to “0”. 2 CR2 00001 This step simply enables PLL #2 to output a 1.544 MHz clock via the “CLK2” output pin (pin 13). If one does not wish to output any signal via this pin, then he/ she should write “00000” to this register. 3 CR3 xxxxx This step can be skipped 4 CR4 xxxxx This step can be skipped 5 CR5 11100 This step enables the XRT8000 to output the 8kHz output via the SYNC output pin (pin 2), and the PLL_1 and PLL_2 outputs via the CLK1 (pin 6) and CLK2 (pin 13) output pins, respectively. Table 1. Programming Procedure, via the Microprocessor Serial Interface By executing the above-mentioned procedure, the XRT8000 device will be configured to operate in the “Forward/Slave” Mode, and will generate a 2.048MHz clock via the CLK1 and CLK2 output pins, when receiving an 8kHz signal at the FIN input pin (pin 3).

Rev. 1.00 3 TAN-16 Step Number 1 Configuration Register Value (to be written) CR1 00101 Comments The first four bits (e.g., “0010”) figures the chip to operate in the “Forward” Mode. Further, it configures each PLL to generate a “k x 64” clock signal. Note: The value for “k” is specified in Step # 3. Setting the fifth bit to “1”, enables PLL # 1. If one does not wish to generate the 2.048 MHz clock via pin 6, then one should set this bit to “0”. 2 CR2 00001 This step simply enables PLL #2 to output a 2.048 MHz clock via the “CLK2” output pin (pin 13). If one does not wish to output any signal via this pin, then he/she should write “00000” to this register. 3 CR3 11111 This step sets the value for “k” for PLL # 1 (see “Comments” for “Step 1”) to 32. Consequently, the XRT8000 will generate a clock signal of 2.048 MHz. 4 CR4 11111 5 CR5 11100 This step sets the value for “k” for PLL # 2 (see “Comments” for “Step 1”) to 32. This step enables the XRT8000 to output the 8kH output via the SYNC output pin (pin 2), and the PLL_1 and PLL_2 outputs via the CLK1 (pin 6) and CLK2 (pin 13) output pins, respectively. By executing the abovementioned procedure, the XRT8000 device will be configured to operate in the “Forward/Slave” Mode, and will generate a 2.048 MHz clock via the CLK1 and CLK2 output pins, when receiving an 8 kHz signal at the FIN input pin (pin 3).
