DESCRIPTION
Transmit Positive Data Input - Channel 0:
Transmit Positive Data Input - Channel 1:
Transmit Positive Data Input - Channel 2:
Transmit Positive Data/Data Input - Channel n:
The function of these input pins depends upon whether the corresponding
channel has been configured to operate in the Single-Rail or Dual-Rail
Mode.
Single Rail Mode - Transmit Data Input - Channel n:
If the Channel has been configured to operate in the Single-Rail Mode,
then all transmit output data will be serially applied to this input pin. This
signal will latched into the Transmit Section circuitry upon either the rising
or falling edge of the TxCLK_n signal, depending upon user configuration.
In the Single-Rail Mode, the Transmit Section of the LIU IC will then encode
this data into either the B3ZS line code (for DS3 and STS-1 applications) or
the HDB3 line code (for E3 applications).
Dual Rail Mode - Transmit Positive Data Input - Channel n:
If the Channel has been configured to operate in the Dual-Rail Mode, then
the user should apply a pulse to this input pin, anytime the Transmit Section of the LIU IC is suppose to generate and transmit a positive-polarity
pulse onto the line. This signal will be latched into the Transmit Section circuitry upon either the rising or falling edge of the TxCLK_n signal, depending upon user configuration.
In the Dual-Rail Mode, the Transmit Section of the LIU IC will NOT encode
this data into either the B3ZS or HDB3 line codes. If the user configures
the LIU IC to operate in the Dual-Rail Mode, then B3ZS/HDB3 encoding
must have already been done prior to providing the transmit output data to
this input pin.

DESCRIPTION
Receiver Monitor Mode Enable:
This input pin permits the user to configure each of the three (3) Receive Sections within the XRT75R03D, into the Receiver Monitor Mode.
If the user configures each of the Receive Sections into the Receive Monitor
Mode, then each of the Receiver Sections will be able to receive a nominal
DSX-3/STSX-1 signal that has been attenuated by 20dB of flat loss along with
6dB of cable loss, in an error-free manner. This allows monitoring very weak
signal, however the internal LOS circuitry is suppressed and LOS will never
assert nor LOS be declared when operating under this mode.
"Low" - Configures each of the Receive Sections to operate in the Normal
Mode.
"High" - Configures each of the Receive Sections to operate in the Receive
Monitor Mode.

Receive ON:
This input pin permits the user to either turn on or turn off each of the three (3)
Receive Sections within the XRT75R03D. If the user turns on the Receive Sections of each channel, then all three channels will begin to receive the incoming
DS3, E3 or STS-1 data-streams via the RTIP_n and RRING_n input pins.
Conversely, if the user turns off the Receive Section, then the entire Receive
Section (e.g., the AGC and Receive Equalizer blocks, Clock Recovery PLL,
etc.) will be powered down.
"Low" - Shuts off the Receive Sections within each of the three (3) Channels in
the XRT75R03D.

Single Frequency Mode Enable:
This input pin is used to configure the XRT75R03D to operate in the SFM (Single Frequency) Mode.
When this feature is invoked the Single-Frequency Mode Synthesizer will
become active. By applying a 12.288MHz clock signal to pin 109, STS-1CLK/
12M the XRT75R03D will, depending upon which mode the user has configured
each of the three channels, generate all of the appropriate clock signals (e.g.,
34.368MHz, 44.736MHz or 51.84. Further, the XRT75R03D internal circuitry
will route each of these synthesized clock signals to the appropriate nodes of
the corresponding three channels in the XRT75R03D.
"Low" - Disables the Single Frequency Mode. In this configuration setting, the
user is required to supply to the E3CLK, DS3CLK or STS-1CLK input pins all of
the relevant clock signals that are to be used within the chip.
"High" - Enables the Single-Frequency Mode. A 12.288MHz clock signal MUST
be applied to pin 109 (STS-1CLK/12M).

If NOT operating in the Single-Frequency Mode
If the XRT75R03D has NOT been configured to operate in the SFM (Single Frequency) Mode, and if at least one channel is to be operated in the E3 Mode,
then a 34.368MHz ± 20ppm clock signal must be applied to this input pin.
If the user does not intend to operate the device in the SFM Mode nor operate
any of the channels in the E3 Mode tie this input signal to GND.
If operating in the Single-Frequency Mode
If the XRT75R03D is operated in the SFM Mode and is to output a clock signal
that is synthesized from the SFM Clock Synthesizer PLL so that the user's system can use this clock signal as a timing source, pull this input pin to a logic
"High".
If the user pull this input pin "High", then the XRT75R03D will output the line
rate clock signal that has been synthesized for Channel 1, via pin 108
(DS3CLK/CLK_OUT).
For example, if Channel 1 is configured to operate in the STS-1 Mode and this
input pin is pulled "High", then the XRT75R03D will output a 51.84MHz clock
signal via the CLK_OUT pin.

1.0 R3 TECHNOLOGY (RECONFIGURABLE, RELAYLESS REDUNDANCY)
Redundancy is used to introduce reliability and protection into network card design. The redundant card in
many cases is an exact replicate of the primary card, such that when a failure occurs the network processor
can automatically switch to the backup card. EXAR’s R3 technology has re-defined E3/DS-3/STS-1 LIU design
for 1:1 and 1+1 redundancy applications. Without relays and one Bill of Materials, EXAR offers multi-port,
integrated LIU solutions to assist high density agregate applications and framing requirements with reliability.
The following section can be used as a reference for implementing R3 Technology with EXAR’s world leading
line interface units.
1.1
Network Architecture
A common network design that supports 1:1 or 1+1 redundancy consists of N primary cards along with N
backup cards that connect into a mid-plane or back-plane architecture without transformers installed on the
network cards. In addition to the network cards, the design has a line interface card with one source of
transformers, connectors, and protection components that are common to both network cards. Wtih this
design, the bill of materials is reduced to the fewest amount of components. See Figure 3 for a simplified
block diagram of a typical redundancy design.

1.2
Power Failure Protection
EXAR’s "High" impedance circuits protect the LIU and preserve the line impedance characteristics when a
power failure occurs. As the power supply decreases to a pre-determined voltage, the I/O pads are
automatically switched to "High" impedance. This effectively removes the LIU, preventing a line impedance
mismatch or system degradation. Power failures or network card hot swapping change the network circuit. It
is critical that under these circumstances, that the primary card still behaves according to network standards.
The three sensitive specifications are pulse mask conformance, receive sensitivity and return loss. Each must
be carefully characterized to ensure network integrity and reliability.
1.3
Software vs Hardware Automatic Protection Switching
The implementation of R3 technology can be controlled through programming the internal registers or through
the use of the TxON hardware pin available within the LIU. To use software to tri-state the transmitters, first
the TxON pin must be pulled "High". Once the pin is pulled "High", the individual register bits can be used to
29
XRT75R03D
THREE CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCRONIZER
REV. 1.0.4
control the output activity of the transmit path. To use the TxON pin, the individual register bits can be set
"High", and the control of the transmitters is handled by setting the state of the TxON pin.

THREE CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE
REV. 1.0.4
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:
Figure 1 shows the functional block diagram of the device. Each channel can be independently configured
either by Hardware Mode or by Host Mode to support E3, DS3 or STS-1 modes. A detailed operation of each
section is described below.
Each channel consists of the following functional blocks:
5.0 THE TRANSMITTER SECTION:
The Transmitter Section, within each Channel, accepts TTL/CMOS level signals from the Terminal Equipment
in selectable data formats.
• Convert the CMOS level B3ZS or HDB3 encoded data into pulses with shapes that are compliant with the
various industry standard pulse template requirements. Figures 7, 8 and 9 illustrate the pulse template
requirements.
• Encode the un-encoded NRZ data into either B3ZS format for (DS3 or STS-1) or HDB3 format (for E3) and
convert to pulses with shapes and width that are compliant with industry standard pulse template
requirements. Figures 7, 8 and 9 illustrate the pulse template requirements.
• In Single-Rail or un-encoded Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ) mode, data is input via TPData_n pins while
TNData_n pins must be grounded. The NRZ or Single-Rail mode is selected when the SR/DR input pin is
“High” (in Hardware Mode) or bit 0 of channel control register is “1” (in Host Mode). Figure 12 illustrates the
Single-Rail or NRZ format.

• In Dual-Rail mode, data is input via TPData_n and TNData_n pins. TPData_n contains positive data and
TNData_n contains negative data. The SR/DR input pin = “Low” (in Hardware Mode) or bit 0 of channel
register = “0” (in Host Mode) enables the Dual-Rail mode. Figure 13 illustrates the Dual-Rail data format.

TRANSMIT CLOCK:
The Transmit Clock applied via TxClk_n pins, for the selected data rate (for E3 = 34.368 MHz, DS3 = 44.736
MHz or STS-1 = 51.84 MHz), is duty cycle corrected by the internal PLL circuit to provide a 50% duty cycle
clock to the pulse shaping circuit. This allows a 30% to 70% duty cycle Transmit Clock to be supplied.
5.2
B3ZS/HDB3 ENCODER:
When the Single-Rail (NRZ) data format is selected, the Encoder Block encodes the data into either B3ZS
format (for either DS3 or STS-1) or HDB3 format (for E3).
5.2.1
B3ZS Encoding:
An example of B3ZS encoding is shown in Figure 14. If the encoder detects an occurrence of three
consecutive zeros in the data stream, it is replaced with either B0V or 00V, where ‘B’ refers to Bipolar pulse
that is compliant with the Alternating polarity requirement of the AMI (Alternate Mark Inversion) line code and
‘V’ refers to a Bipolar Violation (e.g., a bipolar pulse that violates the AMI line code). The substitution of B0V or
00V is made so that an odd number of bipolar pulses exist between any two consecutive violation (V) pulses.
This avoids the introduction of a DC component into the line signal.

HDB3 Encoding:
An example of the HDB3 encoding is shown in Figure 15. If the HDB3 encoder detects an occurrence of four
consecutive zeros in the data stream, then the four zeros are substituted with either 000V or B00V pattern. The
substitution code is made in such a way that an odd number of bipolar (B) pulses exist between any
consecutive V pulses. This avoids the introduction of DC component into the analog signal.

NOTES:
1.
When Dual-Rail data format is selected, the B3ZS/HDB3 Encoder is automatically disabled.
2.
In Dual-Rail format, the Bipolar Violations in the incoming data stream is converted to valid data pulses.
3.
Encoder and Decoder is enabled only in Single-Rail mode.
5.3
TRANSMIT PULSE SHAPER:
The Transmit Pulse Shaper converts the B3ZS encoded digital pulses into a single analog Alternate Mark
Inversion (AMI) pulse that meet the industry standard mask template requirements for STS-1 and DS3. See
Figures 8 and 9.
For E3 mode, the pulse shaper converts the HDB3 encoded pulses into a single full amplitude square shaped
pulse with very little slope. This is illustrated in Figure 7.
The Pulse Shaper Block also includes a Transmit Build Out Circuit, which can either be disabled or enabled by
setting the TxLEV_n input pin “High” or “Low” (in Hardware Mode) or setting the TxLEV_n bit to “1” or “0” in the
control register (in Host Mode).
For DS3/STS-1 rates, the Transmit Build Out Circuit is used to shape the transmit waveform that ensures that
transmit pulse template requirements are met at the Cross-Connect system. The distance between the
transmitter output and the Cross-Connect system can be between 0 to 450 feet.
For E3 rate, since the output pulse template is measured at the secondary of the transformer and since there is
no Cross-Connect system pulse template requirements, the Transmit Build Out Circuit is always disabled.
5.3.1
Guidelines for using Transmit Build Out Circuit:
If the distance between the transmitter and the DSX3 or STSX-1, Cross-Connect system, is less than 225 feet,
enable the Transmit Build Out Circuit by setting the TxLEV_n input pin “Low” (in Hardware Mode) or setting the
TxLEV_n control bit to “0” (in Host Mode).
If the distance between the transmitter and the DSX3 or STSX-1 is greater than 225 feet, disable the Transmit
Build Out Circuit.
5.3.2
Interfacing to the line:
The differential line driver increases the transmit waveform to appropriate level and drives into the 75Ω load as
shown in Figure 6.

Transmit Drive Monitor:
This feature is used for monitoring the transmit line for occurrence of fault conditions such as a short circuit on
the line or a defective line driver.
To activate this function, connect MTIP_n pins to the TTIP_n lines via a 270 Ω resistor and MRing_n pins to
TRing_n lines via 270 Ω resistor as shown in Figure 16.

When the MTIP_n and MRing_n are connected to the TTIP_n and TRing_n lines, the drive monitor circuit
monitors the line for transitions. The DMO_n (Drive Monitor Output) will be asserted “Low” as long as the
transitions on the line are detected via MTIP_n and MRing_n.
If no transitions on the line are detected for 128 ± 32 TxClk_n periods, the DMO_n output toggles “High” and
when the transitions are detected again, DMO_n toggles “Low”.
NOTE: The Drive Monitor Circuit is only for diagnostic purpose and does not have to be used to operate the transmitter.
5.5
Transmitter Section On/Off:
The transmitter section of each channel can either be turned on or off. To turn on the transmitter, set the input
pin TxON_n to “High” (in Hardware Mode) or write a “1” to the TxON_n control bits (in Host Mode) and TxON_n
pins tied “High”.
When the transmitter is turned off, TTIP_n and TRing_n are tri-stated.
NOTES:
1.
This feature provides support for Redundancy.
2.
If the XRT75R03D is configured in Host mode, to permit a system designed for redundancy to quickly shut-off the
defective line card and turn on the back-up line card, writing a “1” to the TxON_n control bits transfers the control
to TxON_n pins.
6.0 THE RECEIVER SECTION:
This section describes the detailed operation of the various blocks in the receiver. The receiver recovers the
TTL/CMOS level data from the incoming bipolar B3ZS or HDB3 encoded input pulses.
6.1
AGC/Equalizer:
The Adaptive Gain Control circuit amplifies the incoming analog signal and compensates for the various flat
losses and also for the loss at one-half symbol rate. The AGC has a dynamic range of 30 dB.
44
XRT75R03D
THREE CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE
REV. 1.0.4
The Equalizer restores the integrity of the signal and compensates for the frequency dependent attenuation of
up to 900 feet of coaxial cable (1300 feet for E3). The Equalizer also boosts the high frequency content of the
signal to reduce Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) so that the slicer slices the signal at 50% of peak voltage to
generate Positive and Negative data.
The Equalizer can either be “IN” or “OUT” by setting the REQEN_n pin “High” or “Low” (in Hardware Mode) or
setting the REQEN_n control bit to “1” or “0” (in Host Mode).
Recommendations for Equalizer Settings:
The Equalizer has two gain settings to provide optimum equalization. In the case of normally shaped DS3/
STS-1 pulses (pulses that meet the template requirements) that has been driven through 0 to 900 feet of cable,
the Equalizer can be left “IN” by setting the REQEN_n pin to “High” (in Hardware Mode) or setting the
REQEN_n control bit to “1” (in Host Mode).
However, for square-shaped pulses such as E3 or for DS3/STS-1 high pulses (that does not meet the pulse
template requirements), it is recommended that the Equalizer be left “OUT” for cable length less than 300 feet
by setting the REQEN_n pin “Low” (in Hardware Mode) or by setting the REQEN_n control bit to “0” (in Host
Mode).This would help to prevent over-equalization of the signal and thus optimize the performance in terms of
better jitter transfer characteristics.
NOTE:
The results of extensive testing indicates that even when the Equalizer was left “IN” (REQEN_n = “HIGH”),
regardless of the cable length, the integrity of the E3 signal was restored properly over 0 to 12 dB cable loss at
Industrial Temperature.
The Equalizer also contain an additional 20 dB gain stage to provide the line monitoring capability of the
resistively attenuated signals which may have 20dB flat loss. This capability can be turned on by writing a “1” to
the RxMON_n bits in the control register or by setting the RxMON pin (pin 69) “High”. However, asserting or
enabling RxMON suppresses the internal LOS circuitry and LOS will never assert nor LOS be declared when
operating with RxMON enabled.
6.1.1
Interference Tolerance:
For E3 mode, ITU-T G.703 Recommendation specifies that the receiver be able to recover error-free clock and
data in the presence of a sinusoidal interfering tone signal. For DS3 and STS-1 modes, the same
recommendation is being used. Figure 17 shows the configuration to test the interference margin for DS3/
STS1. Figure 18 shows the set up for E3.

Clock and Data Recovery:
The Clock and Data Recovery Circuit extracts the embedded clock, RxClk_n from the sliced digital data stream
and provides the retimed data to the B3ZS (HDB3) decoder.
The Clock Recovery PLL can be in one of the following two modes:
Training Mode:
In the absence of input signals at RTIP_n and RRing_n pins, or when the frequency difference between the
recovered line clock signal and the reference clock applied on the ExClk_n input pins exceed 0.5%, a Loss of
Lock condition is declared by toggling RLOL_n output pin “High” (in Hardware Mode) or setting the RLOL_n bit
to “1” in the control registers (in Host Mode). Also, the clock output on the RxClk_n pins are the same as the
reference clock applied on ExClk_n pins.
Data/Clock Recovery Mode:
In the presence of input line signals on the RTIP_n and RRing_n input pins and when the frequency difference
between the recovered clock signal and the reference clock signal is less than 0.5%, the clock that is output on
the RxClk_n out pins is the Recovered Clock signal.

6.3
B3ZS/HDB3 Decoder:
The decoder block takes the output from clock and data recovery block and decodes the B3ZS (for DS3 or
STS-1) or HDB3 (for E3) encoded line signal and detects any coding errors or excessive zeros in the data
stream.
Whenever the input signal violates the B3ZS or HDB3 coding sequence for bipolar violation or contains three
(for B3ZS) or four (for HDB3) or more consecutive zeros, an active “High” pulse is generated on the RLCV_n
output pins to indicate line code violation.
NOTE: In Dual-Rail mode, the decoder is bypassed.
6.4
LOS (Loss of Signal) Detector:
6.4.1
DS3/STS-1 LOS Condition:
A Digital Loss of SIgnal (DLOS) condition occurs when a string of 175 ± 75 consecutive zeros occur on the line.
When the DLOS condition occurs, the DLOS_n bit is set to “1” in the status control register. DLOS condition is
cleared when the detected average pulse density is greater than 33% for 175 ± 75 pulses.
Analog Loss of Signal (ALOS) condition occurs when the amplitude of the incoming line signal is below the
threshold as shown in the Table 10.The status of the ALOS condition is reflected in the ALOS_n status control
register.
RLOS is the logical OR of the DLOS and ALOS states. When the RLOS condition occurs the RLOS_n output
pin is toggled “High” and the RLOS_n bit is set to “1” in the status control register.

DISABLING ALOS/DLOS DETECTION:
For debugging purposes it is useful to disable the ALOS and/or DLOS detection. Writing a “1” to both
ALOSDIS_n and DLOSDIS_n bits disables the LOS detection on a per channel basis.
6.4.2
E3 LOS Condition:
If the level of incoming line signal drops below the threshold as described in the ITU-T G.775 standard, the
LOS condition is detected. Loss of signal level is defined to be between 15 and 35 dB below the normal level.
If the signal drops below 35 dB for 10 to 255 consecutive pulse periods, LOS condition is declared. This is
illustrated in Figure 19.

restoration of the incoming line signal. Figure 20 shows the LOS declaration and clearance conditions.

Muting the Recovered Data with LOS condition:
When the LOS condition is declared, the clock recovery circuit locks into the reference clock applied to the
ExClk_n pin and output this clock on the RxClk_n output.In Single Frequency Mode (SFM), the clock recovery
locks into the rate clock generated and output this clock on the RxClk_n pins. The data on the RPOS_n and
RNEG_n pins can be forced to zero by pulling the LOSMUT pin “High” (in Hardware Mode) or by setting the
LOSMUT_n bits in the individual channel control register to “1” (in Host Mode).
NOTE: When the LOS condition is cleared, the recovered data is output on RPOS_n and RNEG_n pins.
7.0 JITTER:
There are three fundamental parameters that describe circuit performance relative to jitter:
• Jitter Tolerance (Receiver)
• Jitter Transfer (Receiver/Transmitter)
• Jitter Generation
7.1
JITTER TOLERANCE - RECEIVER:
Jitter tolerance is a measure of how well a Clock and Data Recovery unit can successfully recover data in the
presence of various forms of jitter. It is characterized by the amount of jitter required to produce a specified bit
error rate. The tolerance depends on the frequency content of the jitter. Jitter Tolerance is measured as the
jitter amplitude over a jitter spectrum for which the clock and data recovery unit achieves a specified bit error
rate (BER). To measure the jitter tolerance as shown in Figure 21, jitter is introduced by the sinusoidal
modulation of the serial data bit sequence.

Input jitter tolerance requirements are specified in terms of compliance with jitter mask which is represented as
a combination of points.Each point corresponds to a minimum amplitude of sinusoidal jitter at a given jitter
frequency.
7.1.1
DS3/STS-1 Jitter Tolerance Requirements:
Bellcore GR-499 CORE, Issue 1, December 1995 specifies the minimum requirement of jitter tolerance for
Category I and Category II. The jitter tolerance requirement for Category II is the most stringent. Figure 22
shows the jitter tolerance curve as per GR-499 specification.

JITTER TRANSFER - RECEIVER/TRANSMITTER:
Jitter Transfer function is defined as the ratio of jitter on the output relative to the jitter applied on the input
versus frequency.
There are two distinct characteristics in jitter transfer: jitter gain (jitter peaking) defined as the highest ratio
above 0dB; and jitter transfer bandwidth.The overall jitter transfer bandwidth is controlled by a low bandwidth
loop, typically using a voltage-controller crystal oscillator (VCXO).
The jitter transfer function is a ratio between the jitter output and jitter input for a component, or system often
expressed in dB. A negative dB jitter transfer indicates the element removed jitter. A positive dB jitter transfer
indicates the element added jitter.A zero dB jitter transfer indicates the element had no effect on jitter.
Table 12 shows the jitter transfer characteristics and/or jitter attenuation specifications for various data rates:

GR-253 CORE section 5.6.2.1
The above specifications can be met only with a jitter attenuator that supports E3/DS3/STS-1 rates.
7.3
Jitter Attenuator:
An advanced crystal-less jitter attenuator per channel is included in the XRT75R03D. The jitter attenuator
requires no external crystal nor high-frequency reference clock.
In Host mode, by clearing or setting the JATx/Rx_n bits in the channel control registers selects the jitter
attenuator either in the Receive or Transmit path on per channel basis. In Hardware mode, JATx/Rx pin selects
globally all three channels either in Receive or Transmit path.
The FIFO size can be either 16-bit or 32-bit. In HOST mode, the bits JA0_n and JA1_n can be set to
appropriate combination to select the different FIFO sizes or to disable the Jitter Attenuator on a per channel
basis. In Hardware mode, appropriate setting of the pins JA0 and JA1 selects the different FIFO sizes or
disables the Jitter Attenuator for all three channels. Data is clocked into the FIFO with the associated clock
signal (TxClk or RxClk) and clocked out of the FIFO with the dejittered clock. When the FIFO is within two bits
of overflowing or underflowing, the FIFO limit status bit, FL_n is set to “1” in the Alarm status register. Reading
this bit clears the FIFO and resets the bit into default state.
NOTE: It is recommended to select the 16-bit FIFO for delay-sensitive applications as well as for removing smaller amounts
of jitter. Table 13 specifies the jitter transfer mask requirements for various data rates:

JITTER GENERATION:
Jitter Generation is defined as the process whereby jitter appears at the output port of the digital equipment in
the absence of applied input jitter. Jitter Generation is measured by sending jitter free data to the clock and
data recovery circuit and measuring the amount of jitter on the output clock or the re-timed data. Since this is
essentially a noise measurement, it requires a definition of bandwidth to be meaningful. The bandwidth is set
according to the data rate. In general, the jitter is measured over a band of frequencies.
8.0 SERIAL HOST INTERFACE:
A serial microprocessor interface is included in the XRT75R03D. The interface is generic and is designed to
support the common microprocessors/microcontrollers. The XRT75R03D operates in Host mode when the
HOST/HW pin is tied “High”. The serial interface includes a serial clock (SClk), serial data input (SDI), serial
data output (SDO), chip select (CS) and interrupt output (INT). The serial interface timing is shown in Figure
11.
The active low interrupt output signal (INT pin) indicates alarm conditions like LOS, DMO and FL to the
processor.

When the XRT75R03D is configured in Host mode, the following input pins,TxLEV_n, TAOS_n, RLB_n,
LLB_n, E3_n, STS-1/DS3_n, REQEN_n, JATx/Rx, JA0 and JA1 are disabled and must be connected to
ground.
The Table 14 below illustrates the functions of the shared pins in either Host mode or in Hardware mode.

NOTE: While configured in Host mode, the TxON_n input pins will be active if the TxON_n bits in the control register are set
to “1”, and can be used to turn on and off the transmit output drivers. This permits a system designed for
redundancy to quickly switch out a defective line card and switch-in the backup line card.

Channel 2 Interrupt Enable Bit:
This READ/WRITE bit-field is used to do either of the following
• To enable Channel 2 for Interrupt Generation at the Block Level
• To disable all Interrupts associated with Channel 2 within the
XRT75R03D
If the user enables Channel 2-related Interrupts at the Block
Level, then this means that a given Channel 2-related interrupt
(e.g., Change in LOS Defect Condition - Channel 2) will be
enabled if the user has also enabled this particular interrupt at the
Source Level.
If the user disables Channel 2-related Interrupts at the Block
Level, then this means that the XRT75R03D will NOT generate
any Channel 2-Related Interrupts at all.
0 - Disables all Channel 2-related Interrupt.
1 - Enables Channel 2-related Interrupts at the Block Level. The
user must still enable individual Channel 2-related Interrupts at the
source level, before they are enabled for interrupt generation.

Loss of PRBS Pattern Lock Indicator:
This READ-ONLY bit-field indicates whether or not the
PRBS Receiver (within the Receive Section of Channel 0) is
declaring PRBS Lock within the incoming PRBS pattern.
If the PRBS Receiver detects a very large number of biterrors within its incoming data-stream, then it will declare
the Loss of PRBS Lock Condition.
Conversely, if the PRBS Receiver were to detect its predetermined PRBS pattern with the incoming DS3, E3 or
STS-1 data-stream, (with little or no bit errors) then the
PRBS Receiver will clear the Loss of PRBS Lock condition.
0 - Indicates that the PRBS Receiver is currently declaring
the PRBS Lock condition within the incoming DS3, E3 or
STS-1 data-stream.
1 - Indicates that the PRBS Receiver is currently declaring
the Loss of PRBS Lock condition within the incoming DS3,
E3 or STs-1 data-stream.
NOTE: This register bit is only valid if all of the following are
true.
a. The PRBS Generator block (within the Transmit
Section of the Chip is enabled).
b. The PRBS Receiver is enabled.
c. The PRBS Pattern (that is generated by the PRBS
Generator) is somehow looped back into the Receive
Path (via the Line-Side) and in-turn routed to the
receive input of the PRBS Receiver.

DESCRIPTION
Digital LOS Defect Declared:
This READ-ONLY bit-field indicates whether or not the Digital LOS (Loss of Signal) detector is declaring the LOS
Defect condition.
For DS3 and STS-1 applications, the Digital LOS Detector
will declare the LOS Defect condition whenever it detects
an absence of pulses (within the incoming DS3 or STS-1
data-stream) for 160 consecutive bit-periods.
Further, (again for DS3 and STS-1 applications) the Digital
LOS Detector will clear the LOS Defect condition whenever
it determines that the pulse density (within the incoming
DS3 or STS-1 signal) is at least 33%.
0 - Indicates that the Digital LOS Detector is NOT declaring
the LOS Defect Condition.
1 - Indicates that the Digital LOS Detector is currently
declaring the LOS Defect condition.
NOTES:

LOS Detection (within each channel of the
XRT75R03D) is performed by both an Analog LOS
Detector and a Digital LOS Detector. The LOS
state of a given Channel is simply a WIRED-OR of
the LOS Defect Declare states of these two
detectors.

DESCRIPTION
Analog LOS Defect Declared:
This READ-ONLY bit-field indicates whether or not the Analog LOS (Loss of Signal) detector is declaring the LOS
Defect condition.
For DS3 and STS-1 applications, the Analog LOS Detector
will declare the LOS Defect condition whenever it determines that the amplitude of the pulses (within the incoming
DS3/STS-1 line signal) drops below a certain Analog LOS
Defect Declaration threshold level.
Conversely, (again for DS3 and STS-1 applications) the
Analog LOS Detector will clear the LOS Defect condition
whenever it determines that the amplitude of the pulses
(within the incoming DS3/STS-1 line signal) has risen above
a certain Analog LOS Defect Clearance threshold level.
It should be noted that, in order to prevent "chattering"
within the Analog LOS Detector output, there is some builtin hysteresis between the Analog LOS Defect Declaration
and the Analog LOS Defect Clearance threshold levels.
0 - Indicates that the Analog LOS Detector is NOT declaring
the LOS Defect Condition.
1 - Indicates that the Analog LOS Detector is currently
declaring the LOS Defect condition.

The Jitter Attenuator block will declare the FIFO Limit Alarm
anytime the Jitter Attenuator FIFO comes within two bitperiods of either overflowing or under-running.
Conversely, the Jitter Attenuator block will clear the FIFO
Limit Alarm anytime the Jitter Attenuator FIFO is NO longer
within two bit-periods of either overflowing or under-running.
Typically, this Alarm will only be declared whenever there is
a very serious problem with timing or jitter in the system.
0 - Indicates that the Jitter Attenuator block (within
Channel_n) is NOT currently declaring the FIFO Limit Alarm
condition.

TRING_n output signals. If the Transmit Section were to
detect no bipolar for 128 consecutive bit-periods, then it will
declare the Transmit DMO Alarm condition. This particular
alarm can be used to check for fault conditions on the
Transmit Output Line Signal path.
The Transmit Section will clear the Transmit DMO Alarm
condition the instant that it detects some bipolar activity on
the Transmit Output Line signal.
0 - Indicates that the Transmit Section of Channel_n is NOT

pulses, in order to determine whether to declare the Transmit DMO Alarm condition.
If the user configures the Transmit Section to externally
monitor the TTIP_n and TRING_n output pins (for bipolar
pulses) then the user must make sure that he/she has connected the MTIP_n and MRING_n input pins to their corresponding TTIP_n and TRING_n output pins (via a 274 ohm
series resistor).
If the user configures the Transmit Section to internally
monitor the TTIP_n and TRING_n output pins (for bipolar
pulses) then the user does NOT need to make sure that the
MTIP_n and MRING_n input pins are connected to the
TTIP_n and TRING_n output pins (via series resistors).
This monitoring will be performed right at the TTIP_n and

step will configure the RNEG_n/LCV_n output pin
to function as the PRBS Error Indicator. In this
case, external glue logic will be needed to monitor
and count the number of PRBS Bit Errors that are
detected by the PRBS Receiver.
2.
If the user enables the PRBS Generator and
PRBS Receiver, then the Channel will ignore the
data that is being accepted from the System-side
Equipment (via the TPDATA_n and TNDATA_n
input pins) and will overwrite this outbound data
with the PRBS Pattern.

9.0 DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES:
9.1
PRBS Generator and Detector:
The XRT75R03D contains an on-chip Pseudo Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) generator and detector for
diagnostic purpose. This feature is only available in Host mode. With the PRBSEN_n bit = “1”, the transmitter
will send out PRBS of 223-1 in E3 rate or 215-1 in STS-1/DS3 rate. At the same time, the receiver PRBS
detector is also enabled. When the correct PRBS pattern is detected by the receiver, the RNEG/LCV pin will go
“Low” to indicate PRBS synchronization has been achieved. When the PRBS detector is not in sync the
PRBSLS bit will be set to “1” and RNEG/LCV pin will go “High”.
With the PRBS mode enabled, the user can also insert a single bit error by toggling “INSPRBS” bit. This is
done by writing a “1” to INSPRBS bit. The receiver at RNEG/LCV pin will pulse “High” for one RxClk cycle for
every bit error detected. Any subsequent single bit error insertion must be done by first writing a “0” to
INSPRBS bit and followed by a “1”.
Figure 25 shows the status of RNEG/LCV pin when the XRT75R03D is configured in PRBS mode.
NOTE: In PRBS mode, the device is forced to operate in Single-Rail Mode.

LOOPBACKS:
The XRT75R03D offers three loopback modes for diagnostic purposes. In Hardware mode, the loopback
modes are selected via the RLB_n and LLB_n pins. In Host mode, the RLB_n and LLB_n bits n the Channel
control registers select the loopback modes.
9.2.1
ANALOG LOOPBACK:
In this mode, the transmitter outputs (TTIP_n and TRING_n) are connected internally to the receiver inputs
(RTIP_n and RRING_n) as shown in Figure 26. Data and clock are output at RCLK_n, RPOS_n and RNEG_n
pins for the corresponding transceiver. Analog loopback exercises most of the functional blocks of the device
including the jitter attenuator which can be selected in either the transmit or receive path.
XRT75R03D can be configured in Analog Loopback either in Hardware mode via the LLB_n and RLB_n pins
or in Host mode via LLB_n and RLB_n bits in the channel control registers.
NOTES:
1.
In the Analog loopback mode, data is also output via TTIP_n and TRING_n pins.
2.
Signals on the RTIP_n and RRING_n pins are ignored during analog loopback.

10.0 THE SONET/SDH DE-SYNC FUNCTION WITHIN THE XRT75R03D
The XRT75R03D LIU IC is very similar to the XRT75R03 in that they are both 3-Channel DS3/E3/STS-1 LIU
devices that also contain Jitter Attenuator blocks within each of the three channels. They are also pin to pin
compatible with each other. However, the Jitter Attenuators within the XRT75R03D has some enhancements
over and above those within the XRT75R03 (non-D) device. The Jitter Attenuator blocks within the
XRT75R03D will support all of the modes and features that exist in the XRT75R03 (non-D) device and in
addition they also support a SONET/SDH De-Sync Mode not available within the XRT75R03.
NOTE: The "D" suffix within the part number, XRT75R03D stands for "De-Sync".
The SONET/SDH De-Sync feature of the Jitter Attenuator blocks in the XRT75R03D permits the user to design
a SONET/SDH PTE (Path Terminating Equipment) that will comply with all of the following Intrinsic Jitter and
Wander requirements.
• For SONET Applications
n
Category I Intrinsic Jitter Requirements per Telcordia GR-253-CORE (for DS3 Applications)
n
ANSI T1.105.03b-1997 - SONET Jitter at Network Interfaces - DS3 Wander Supplement
• For SDH Applications
n
Jitter and Wander Generation Requirements per ITU-T G.783 (for DS3 and E3 Applications)
Specifically, if the user designs in the XRT75R03D along with a SONET/SDH Mapper IC (which can be
realized as either a standard product or as a custom logic solution, in an ASIC or FPGA), then the followind
can be accomplished;
• The Mapper can receive an STS-N or an STM-M signal (which is carrying asynchronously-mapped DS3 and/
or E3 signals) and byte de-interleave this data into N STS-1 or 3*M VC-3 signals
89
XRT75R03D
THREE CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCRONIZER
REV. 1.0.4
• The Mapper will then terminate these STS-1 or VC-3 signals and will de-map out this DS3 or E3 data from
the incoming STS-1 SPEs or VC-3s, and output this DS3 or E3 to the DS3/E3 Facility-side towards the
XRT75R03D
• This DS3 or E3 signal (as it is output from these Mapper devices) will contain a large amount intrinsic jitter
and wander due to (1) the process of asynchronously mapping a DS3 or E3 signal into a SONET or SDH
signal, (2) the occurrence of Pointer Adjustments within the SONET or SDH signal (transporting these DS3
or E3 signals) as it traverses the SONET/SDH network, and (3) clock gapping.
• When the XRT75R03D has been configured to operate in the "SONET/SDH De-Sync" Mode, then it will (1)
accept this jittery DS3 or E3 clock and data signal from the Mapper device (via the Transmit System-side
interface) and (2) through the Jitter Attenuator, the XRT75R03D will reduce the Jitter and Wander amplitude
within these DS3 or E3 signals such that they (when output onto the line) will comply with the abovementioned intrinsic jitter and wander specifications.
10.1
BACKGROUND AND DETAILED INFORMATION - SONET DE-SYNC APPLICATIONS
This section provides an in-depth discussion on the mechanisms that will cause Jitter and Wander within a
DS3 or E3 signal that is being transported across a SONET or SDH Network. A lot of this material is
introductory, and can be skipped by the engineer that is already experienced in SONET/SDH designs. In this
case, the user should proceed directly to “Section 10.8, Designing with the XRT75R03D” on page 120,
which describes how to configure the XRT75R03D in the appropriate set of modes in order to support this
application.
In the wide-area network (WAN) in North America it is often necessary to transport a DS3 signal over a long
distance (perhaps over a thousand miles) in order to support a particular service. Now rather than realizing
this transport of DS3 data, by using over a thousand miles of coaxial cable (interspaced by a large number of
DS3 repeaters) a common thing to do is to route this DS3 signal to a piece of equipment (such as a Terminal
MUX, which in the "SONET Community" is known as a PTE or Path Terminating Equipment). This Terminal
MUX will asynchronously map the DS3 signal into a SONET signal. At this point, the SONET network will now
transport this asynchronously mapped DS3 signal from one PTE to another PTE (which is located at the other
end of the SONET network). Once this SONET signal arrives at the remote PTE, this DS3 signal will then be
extracted from the SONET signal, and will be output to some other DS3 Terminal Equipment for further
processing.
Similar things are done outside of North America. In this case, this DS3 or E3 signal is routed to a PTE, where
it is asynchronously mapped into an SDH signal. This asynchronously mapped DS3 or E3 signal is then
transported across the SDH network (from one PTE to the PTE at the other end of the SDH network). Once
this SDH signal arrives at the remote PTE, this DS3 or E3 signal will then be extracted from the SDH signal,
and will be output to some other DS3/E3 Terminal Equipment for further processing.
Figure 31 presents an illustration of this approach to transporting DS3 data over a SONET Network

DS3 Data
As mentioned above a DS3 or E3 signal will be asynchronously mapped into a SONET or SDH signal and then
transported over the SONET or SDH network. At the remote PTE this DS3 or E3 signal will be extracted (or
de-mapped) from this SONET or SDH signal, where it will then be routed to DS3 or E3 terminal equipment for
further processing.
In order to insure that this "de-mapped" DS3 or E3 signal can be routed to any industry-standard DS3 or E3
terminal equipment, without any complications or adverse effect on the network, the Telcordia and ITU-T
standard committees have specified some limits on both the Intrinsic Jitter and Wander that may exist within
these DS3 or E3 signals as they are de-mapped from SONET/SDH. As a consequence, all PTEs that maps
and de-mapped DS3/E3 signals into/from SONET/SDH must be designed such that the DS3 or E3 data that is
de-mapped from SONET/SDH by these PTEs must meet these Intrinsic Jitter and Wander requirements.
As mentioned above, the XRT75R03D can assist the System Designer (of SONET/SDH PTE) by insuring that
their design will meet these Intrinsic Jitter and Wander requirements.
This section of the data sheet will present the following information to the user.

In general, there are three (3) sources of Jitter and Wander within an asynchronously-mapped DS3 signal that
the system designer must be aware of. These sources are listed below.
• Mapping/De-Mapping Jitter
• Pointer Adjustments
• Clock Gapping
Each of these sources of jitter/wander will be defined and discussed in considerable detail within this Section.
In order to accomplish all of this, this particular section will discuss all of the following topics in details.
• How DS3 data is mapped into SONET, and how this mapping operation contributes to Jitter and Wander
within this "eventually de-mapped" DS3 signal.
• How this asynchronously-mapped DS3 data is transported throughout the SONET Network, and how
occurrences on the SONET network (such as pointer adjustments) will further contributes to Jitter and
Wander within the "eventually de-mapped" DS3 signal.

NOTE: An in-depth discussion on SDH De-Sync Applications will be presented in the next revision of this data sheet.
10.2
MAPPING/DE-MAPPING JITTER/WANDER
Mapping/De-Mapping Jitter (or Wander) is defined as that intrinsic jitter (or wander) that is induced into a DS3
signal by the "Asynchronous Mapping" process. This section will discuss all of the following aspects of
Mapping/De-Mapping Jitter.
• How DS3 data is mapped into an STS-1 SPE
• How frequency offsets within either the DS3 signal (being mapped into SONET) or within the STS-1 signal
itself contributes to intrinsic jitter/wander within the DS3 signal (being transported via the SONET network).
10.2.1
HOW DS3 DATA IS MAPPED INTO SONET
Whenever a DS3 signal is asynchronously mapped into SONET, this mapping is typically accomplished by a
PTE accepting DS3 data (from some remote terminal) and then loading this data into certain bit-fields within a
given STS-1 SPE (or Synchronous Payload Envelope). At this point, this DS3 signal has now been
asynchronously mapped into an STS-1 signal. In most applications, the SONET Network will then take this
particular STS-1 signal and will map it into "higher-speed" SONET signals (e.g., STS-3, STS-12, STS-48, etc.)
and will then transport this asynchronously mapped DS3 signal across the SONET network, in this manner. As
this "asynchronously-mapped" DS3 signal approaches its "destination" PTE, this STS-1 signal will eventually
be de-mapped from this STS-N signal. Finally, once this STS-1 signal reaches the "destination" PTE, then this
asynchronously-mapped DS3 signal will be extracted from this STS-1 signal.
10.2.1.1
A Brief Description of an STS-1 Frame
In order to be able to describe how a DS3 signal is asynchronously mapped into an STS-1 SPE, it is important
to define and understand all of the following.
• The STS-1 frame structure
• The STS-1 SPE (Synchronous Payload Envelope)
• Telcordia GR-253-CORE's recommendation on mapping DS3 data into an STS-1 SPE

An STS-1 frame is a data-structure that consists of 810 bytes (or 6480 bits). A given STS-1 frame can be
viewed as being a 9 row by 90 byte column array (making up the 810 bytes). The frame-repetition rate (for an
STS-1 frame) is 8000 frames/second. Therefore, the bit-rate for an STS-1 signal is (6480 bits/frame * 8000
frames/sec =) 51.84Mbps.
A simple illustration of this SONET STS-1 frame is presented below in Figure 32.
FIGURE 32. A SIMPLE ILLUSTRATION OF THE SONET STS-1 FRAME
90 Bytes
9 Rows
STS-1 Frame (810 Bytes)
Last Byte of the STS-1 Frame
First Byte of the STS-1 Frame
Figure 32 indicates that the very first byte of a given STS-1 frame (to be transmitted or received) is located in
the extreme upper left hand corner of the 90 column by 9 row array, and that the very last byte of a given STS1 frame is located in the extreme lower right-hand corner of the frame structure. Whenever a Network Element
transmits a SONET STS-1 frame, it starts by transmitting all of the data, residing within the top row of the STS1 frame structure (beginning with the left-most byte, and then transmitting the very next byte, to the right). After
the Network Equipment has completed its transmission of the top or first row, it will then proceed to transmit
the second row of data (again starting with the left-most byte, first). Once the Network Equipment has
transmitted the last byte of a given STS-1 frame, it will proceed to start transmitting the very next STS-1 frame.
The illustration of the STS-1 frame (in Figure 32) is very simplistic, for multiple reasons. One major reason is
that the STS-1 frame consists of numerous types of bytes. For the sake of discussion within this data sheet,
the STS-1 frame will be described as consisting of the following types (or groups) of bytes.
• The Transport Overheads (or TOH) Bytes
• The Envelope Capacity Bytes
10.2.1.1.1
The Transport Overhead (TOH) Bytes
The Transport Overhead or TOH bytes occupy the very first three (3) byte columns within each STS-1 frame.
Figure 33 presents another simple illustration of an STS-1 frame structure. However, in this case, both the
TOH and the Envelope Capacity bytes are designated in this Figure.

The TOH Bytes
In general, the role/purpose of the TOH bytes is to fulfill the following functions.
• To support STS-1 Frame Synchronization
• To support Error Detection within the STS-1 frame
• To support the transmission of various alarm conditions such as RDI-L (Line - Remote Defect Indicator) and
REI-L (Line - Remote Error Indicator)
• To support the Transmission and Reception of "Section Trace" Messages
• To support the Transmission and Reception of OAM&P Messages via the DCC Bytes (Data Communication
Channel bytes - D1 through D12 byte)
The roles of most of the TOH bytes is beyond the scope of this Data Sheet and will not be discussed any
further. However, there are a three TOH bytes that are important from the stand-point of this data sheet, and
will discussed in considerable detail throughout this document. These are the H1 and H2 (e.g., the SPE
Pointer) bytes and the H3 (e.g., the Pointer Action) byte.
Figure 35 presents an illustration of the Byte-Format of the TOH within an STS-1 Frame, with the H1, H2 and
H3 bytes highlighted.

The TOH Bytes
Although the role of the H1, H2 and H3 bytes will be discussed in much greater detail in “Section 10.3, Jitter/
Wander due to Pointer Adjustments” on page 103. For now, we will simply state that the role of these bytes
is two-fold.
• To permit a given PTE (Path Terminating Equipment) that is receiving an STS-1 data to be able to locate the
STS-1 SPE (Synchronous Payload Envelope) within the Envelope Capacity of this incoming STS-1 data
stream and,
• To inform a given PTE whenever Pointer Adjustment and NDF (New Data Flag) events occur within the
incoming STS-1 data-stream.
10.2.1.1.2
The Envelope Capacity Bytes within an STS-1 Frame
In general, the Envelope Capacity Bytes are any bytes (within an STS-1 frame) that exist outside of the TOH
bytes. In short, the Envelope Capacity contains the STS-1 SPE (Synchronous Payload Envelope). In fact,
every single byte that exists within the Envelope Capacity also exists within the STS-1 SPE. The only
difference that exists between the "Envelope Capacity" as defined in Figure 34 and Figure 35 above and the
STS-1 SPE is that the Envelope Capacity is aligned with the STS-1 framing boundaries and the TOH bytes;
whereas the STS-1 SPE is NOT aligned with the STS-1 framing boundaries, nor the TOH bytes.
The STS-1 SPE is an "87 byte column x 9 row" data-structure (which is the exact same size as is the Envelope
Capacity) that is permitted to "float" within the "Envelope Capacity". As a consequence, the STS-1 SPE (within
an STS-1 data-stream) will typically straddle across an STS-1 frame boundary.
10.2.1.1.3
The Byte Structure of the STS-1 SPE
As mentioned above, the STS-1 SPE is an 87 byte column x 9 row structure. The very first column within the
STS-1 SPE consists of some overhead bytes which are known as the "Path Overhead" (or POH) bytes. The
remaining portions of the STS-1 SPE is available for "user" data. The Byte Structure of the STS-1 SPE is
presented below in Figure 36.

In general, the role/purpose of the POH bytes is to fulfill the following functions.

• To support the transmission of various alarm conditions such as RDI-P (Path - Remote Defect Indicator) and
REI-P (Path - Remote Error Indicator)
• To support the transmission and reception of "Path Trace" Messages
The role of the POH bytes is beyond the scope of this data sheet and will not be discussed any further.
10.2.1.2
Mapping DS3 data into an STS-1 SPE
Now that we have defined the STS-1 SPE, we can now describe how a DS3 signal is mapped into an STS-1
SPE. As mentioned above, the STS-1 SPE is basically an 87 byte column x 9 row structure of data. The very
first byte column (e.g., in all 9 bytes) consists of the POH (Path Overhead) bytes. All of the remaining bytes
within the STS-1 SPE is simply referred to as "user" or "payload" data because this is the portion of the STS-1
signal that is used to transport "user data" from one end of the SONET network to the other. Telcordia GR253-CORE specifies the approach that one must use to asynchronously map DS3 data into an STS-1 SPE. In
short, this approach is presented below in Figure 37.

THREE CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE
REV. 1.0.4
Figure 38 presents an alternative illustration of Telcordia GR-253-CORE's recommendation on how to
asynchronously map DS3 data into an STS-1 SPE. In this case, the STS-1 SPE bit-format is expressed purely
in the form of "bit-types" and "numbers of bits within each of these types of bits". If one studies this figure
closely he/she will notice that this is the same "87 byte column x 9 row" structure that we have been talking
about when defining the STS-1 SPE. However, in this figure, the "user-data" field is now defined and is said to
consist of five (5) different types of bits. Each of these bit-types play a role when asynchronously mapping a
DS3 signal into an STS-1 SPE. Each of these types of bits are listed and described below.
Fixed Stuff Bits
Fixed Stuff bits are simply "space-filler" bits that simply occupy space within the STS-1 SPE. These bit-fields
have no functional role other than "space occupation". Telcordia GR-253-CORE does not define any particular
value that these bits should be set to. Each of the 9 rows, within the STS-1 SPE will contain 59 of these "fixed
stuff" bits.
DS3 Data Bits
The DS3 Data-Bits are (as its name implies) used to transport the DS3 data-bits within the STS-1 SPE. If the
STS-1 SPE is transporting a framed DS3 data-stream, then these DS3 Data bits will carry both the "DS3
payload data" and the "DS3 overhead bits". Each of the 9 rows, within the STS-1 SPE will contain 621 of these
"DS3 Data bits". This means that each STS-1 SPE contains 5,589 of these DS3 Data bit-fields.
Stuff Opportunity Bits
The "Stuff" Opportunity bits will function as either a "stuff" (or junk) bit, or it will carry a DS3 data-bit. The
decision as to whether to have a "Stuff Opportunity" bit transport a "DS3 data-bit" or a "stuff" bit depends upon
the "timing differences" between the DS3 data that is being mapped into the STS-1 SPE and the timing source
that is driving the STS-1 circuitry within the PTE.
As will be described later on, these "Stuff Opportunity" Bits play a very important role in "frequency-justifying"
the DS3 data that is being mapped into the STS-1 SPE. These "Stuff Opportunity" bits also play a critical role
in inducing Intrinsic Jitter and Wander within the DS3 signal (as it is de-mapped by the remote PTE).
Each of the 9 rows, within the STS-1 SPE consists of one (1) Stuff Opportunity bit. Hence, there are a total of
nine Stuff Opportunity" bits within each STS-1 SPE.
Stuff Control/Indicator Bits
Each of the nine (9) rows within the STS-1 SPE contains five (5) Stuff Control/Indicator bits. The purpose of
these "Stuff Control/Indicator" bits is to indicate (to the de-mapping PTE) whether the "Stuff Opportunity" bits
(that resides in the same row) is a "Stuff" bit or is carrying a DS3 data bit.
If all five of these "Stuff Control/Indicator" bits, within a given row are set to "0", then this means that the
corresponding "Stuff Opportunity" bit (e.g., the "Stuff Opportunity" bit within the same row) is carrying a DS3
data bit.
Conversely, if all five of these "Stuff Control/Indicator" bits, within a given row are set to "1" then this means
that the corresponding "Stuff Opportunity" bit is carrying a "stuff" bit.
Overhead Communication Bits
Telcordia GR-253-CORE permits the user to use these two bits (for each row) as some sort of
"Communications" bit. Some Mapper devices, such as the XRT94L43 12-Channel DS3/E3/STS-1 to STS-12/
STM-1 Mapper and the XRT94L33 3-Channel DS3/E3/STS-1 to STS-3/STM-1 Mapper IC (both from Exar
Corporation) do permit the user to have access to these bit-fields.
However, in general, these particular bits can also be thought of as "Fixed Stuff" bits, that mostly have a "space
occupation" function.
10.2.2
DS3 Frequency Offsets and the Use of the "Stuff Opportunity" Bits
In order to fully convey the role that the "stuff-opportunity" bits play, when mapping DS3 data into SONET, we
will present a detailed discussion of each of the following "Mapping DS3 into STS-1" scenarios.

REV. 1.0.4
• The Ideal Case (e.g., with no frequency offsets)
• The 44.736Mbps + 1 ppm Case
• The 44.736MHz - 1ppm Case
Throughout each of these cases, we will discuss how the resulting "bit-stuffing" (that was done when mapping
the DS3 signal into SONET) affects the amount of intrinsic jitter and wander that will be present in the DS3
signal, once it is ultimately de-mapped from SONET.
10.2.2.1
The Ideal Case for Mapping DS3 data into an STS-1 Signal (e.g., with no Frequency
Offsets)
Let us assume that we are mapping a DS3 signal, which has a bit rate of exactly 44.736Mbps (with no
frequency offset) into SONET. Further, let us assume that the SONET circuitry within the PTE is clocked at
exactly 51.84MHz (also with no frequency offset), as depicted below.
FIGURE 39. A SIMPLE ILLUSTRATION OF A DS3 DATA-STREAM BEING MAPPED INTO AN STS-1 SPE, VIA A PTE
DS3_Data_In
STS-1_Data_Out
PTE
PTE
51.84MHz + 0ppm
44.736MHz + 0ppm
Given the above-mentioned assumptions, we can state the following.
• The DS3 data-stream has a bit-rate of exactly 44.736Mbps
• The PTE will create 8000 STS-1 SPE's per second
• In order to properly map a DS3 data-stream into an STS-1 data-stream, then each STS-1 SPE must carry
(44.736Mbps/8000 =) 5592 DS3 data bits.
Is there a Problem?
According to Figure 38, each STS-1 SPE only contains 5589 bits that are specifically designated for "DS3 data
bits". In this case, each STS-1 SPE appears to be three bits "short".
No there is a Simple Solution
No, earlier we mentioned that each STS-1 SPE consists of nine (9) "Stuff Opportunity" bits. Therefore, these
three additional bits (for DS3 data) are obtained by using three of these "Stuff Opportunity" bits. As a
consequence, three (3) of these nine (9) "Stuff Opportunity" bits, within each STS-1 SPE, will carry DS3 databits. The remaining six (6) "Stuff Opportunity" bits will typically function as "stuff" bits.
In summary, for the "Ideal Case"; where there is no frequency offset between the DS3 and the STS-1 bit-rates,
once this DS3 data-stream has been mapped into the STS-1 data-stream, then each and every STS-1 SPE will
have the following "Stuff Opportunity" bit utilization.
3 "Stuff Opportunity" bits will carry DS3 data bits.
6 "Stuff Opportunity" bits will function as "stuff" bits

XRT75R03D
THREE CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE
REV. 1.0.4
In this case, this DS3 signal (which has now been mapped into STS-1) will be transported across the SONET
network. As this STS-1 signal arrives at the "Destination PTE", this PTE will extract (or de-map) this DS3 datastream from each incoming STS-1 SPE. Now since each and every STS-1 SPE contains exactly 5592 DS3
data bits; then the bit rate of this DS3 signal will be exactly 44.736Mbps (such as it was when it was mapped
into SONET, at the "Source" PTE).
As a consequence, no "Mapping/De-Mapping" Jitter or Wander is induced in the "Ideal Case".
10.2.2.2
The 44.736Mbps + 1ppm Case
The "above example" was a very ideal case. In reality, there are going to be frequency offsets in both the DS3
and STS-1 signals. For instance Bellcore GR-499-CORE mandates that a DS3 signal have a bit rate of
44.736Mbps ± 20ppm. Hence, the bit-rate of a "Bellcore" compliant DS3 signal can vary from the exact correct
frequency for DS3 by as much of 20ppm in either direction. Similarly, many SONET applications mandate that
SONET equipment use at least a "Stratum 3" level clock as its timing source. This requirement mandates that
an STS-1 signal must have a bit rate that is in the range of 51.84 ± 4.6ppm. To make matters worse, there are
also provisions for SONET equipment to use (what is referred to as) a "SONET Minimum Clock" (SMC) as its
timing source. In this case, an STS-1 signal can have a bit-rate in the range of 51.84Mbps ± 20ppm.
In order to convey the impact that frequency offsets (in either the DS3 or STS-1 signal) will impose on the bitstuffing behavior, and the resulting bit-rate, intrinsic jitter and wander within the DS3 signal that is being
transported across the SONET network; let us assume that a DS3 signal, with a bit-rate of 44.736Mbps +
1ppm is being mapped into an STS-1 signal with a bit-rate of 51.84Mbps + 0ppm. In this case, the following
things will occur.
• In general, most of the STS-1 SPE's will each transport 5592 DS3 data bits.
• However, within a "one-second" period, a DS3 signal that has a bit-rate of 44.736Mbps + 1 ppm will deliver
approximately 44.7 additional bits (over and above that of a DS3 signal with a bit-rate of 44.736Mbps + 0
ppm). This means that this particular signal will need to "negative-stuff" or map in an additional DS3 data bit
every (1/44.736 =) 22.35ms. In other words, this additional DS3 data bit will need to be mapped into about
one in every (22.35ms · 8000 =) 178.8 STS-1 SPEs in order to avoid dropping any DS3 data-bits.
What does this mean at the "Source" PTE?
All of this means that as the "Source" PTE maps this DS3 signal, with a data rate of 44.736Mbps + 1ppm into
an STS-1 signal, most of the resulting "outbound" STS-1 SPEs will transport 5592 DS3 data bits (e.g., 3 Stuff
Opportunity bits will be carrying DS3 data bits, the remaining 6 Stuff Opportunity bits are "stuff" bits, as in the
"Ideal" case). However, in approximately one out of 178.8 "outbound" STS-1 SPEs, there will be a need to
insert an additional DS3 data bit within this STS-1 SPE. Whenever this occurs, then (for these particular STS1 SPEs) the SPE will be carrying 5593 DS3 data bits (e.g., 4 Stuff Opportunity bits will be carrying DS3 data
bits, the remaining 5 Stuff Opportunity bits are "stuff" bits).

this condition.

STS-1 SPE Data Stream
What does this mean at the "Destination" PTE?
In this case, this DS3 signal (which has now been mapped into an STS-1 data-stream) will be transported
across the SONET network. As this STS-1 signal arrives at the "Destination" PTE, this PTE will extract (or demap) this DS3 data from each incoming STS-1 SPE. Now, in this case most (e.g., 177/178.8) of the incoming
STS-1 SPEs will contain 5592 DS3 data-bits. Therefore, the nominal data rate of the DS3 signal being demapped from SONET will be 44.736Mbps. However, in approximately 1 out of every 178 incoming STS-1
SPEs, the SPE will carry 5593 DS3 data-bits. This means that (during these times) the data rate of the demapped DS3 signal will have an instantaneous frequency that is greater than 44.736Mbps. These "excursion"
of the de-mapped DS3 data-rate, from the nominal DS3 frequency can be viewed as occurrences of "mapping/
de-mapping" jitter. Since each of these "bit-stuffing" events involve the insertion of one DS3 data bit, we can
say that the amplitude of this "mapping/de-mapping" jitter is approximately 1UI-pp. From this point on, we will
be referring to this type of jitter (e.g., that which is induced by the mapping and de-mapping process) as "demapping" jitter.
Since this occurrence of "de-mapping" jitter is periodic and occurs once every 22.35ms, we can state that this
jitter has a frequency of 44.7Hz.
10.2.2.3
The 44.736Mbps - 1ppm Case
In this case, let us assume that a DS3 signal, with a bit-rate of 44.736Mbps - 1ppm is being mapped into an
STS-1 signal with a bit-rate of 51.84Mbps + 0ppm. In this case, the following this will occur.
• In general, most of the STS-1 SPEs will each transport 5592 DS3 data bits.
• However, within a "one-second" period a DS3 signal that has a bit-rate of 44.736Mbps - 1ppm will deliver
approximately 45 too few bits below that of a DS3 signal with a bit-rate of 44.736Mbps + 0ppm. This means
that this particular signal will need to "positive-stuff" or exclude a DS3 data bit from mapping every (1/44.736)
= 22.35ms. In other words, we will need to avoid mapping this DS3 data-bit about one in every
(22.35ms*8000) = 178.8 STS-1 SPEs.
What does this mean at the "Source" PTE?
All of this means that as the "Source" PTE maps this DS3 signal, with a data rate of 44.736Mbps - 1ppm into
an STS-1 signal, most of the resulting "outbound" STS-1 SPEs will transport 5592 DS3 data bits (e.g., 3 Stuff
Opportunity bits will be carrying DS3 data bits, the remaining 6 Stuff Opportunity bits are "stuff" bits). However,
in approximately one out of 178.8 "outbound" STS-1 SPEs, there will be a need for a "positive-stuffing" event.
102
XRT75R03D
THREE CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE
REV. 1.0.4
Whenever these "positive-stuffing" events occur then (for these particular STS-1 SPEs) the SPE will carry only
5591 DS3 data bits (e.g., in this case, only 2 Stuff Opportunity bits will be carrying DS3 data-bits, and the
remaining 7 Stuff Opportunity bits are "stuff" bits).

this condition.

STS-1 SPE Data Stream
What does this mean at the Destination PTE?
In this case, this DS3 signal (which has now been mapped into an STS-1 data-stream) will be transported
across the SONET network. As this STS-1 signal arrives at the "Destination" PTE, this PTE will extract (or demap) this DS3 data from each incoming STS-1 SPE. Now, in this case, most (e.g., 177/178.8) of the incoming
STS-1 SPEs will contain 5592 DS3 data-bits. Therefore, the nominal data rate of the DS3 signal being demapped from SONET will be 44.736Mbps. However, in approximately 1 out of every 178 incoming STS-1
SPEs, the SPE will carry only 5591 DS3 data bits. This means that (during these times) the data rate of the demapped DS3 signal will have an instantaneous frequency that is less than 44.736Mbps. These "excursions" of
the de-mapped DS3 data-rate, from the nominal DS3 frequency can be viewed as occurrences of mapping/demapping jitter with an amplitude of approximately 1UI-pp.
Since this occurrence of "de-mapping" jitter is periodic and occurs once every 22.35ms, we can state that this
jitter has a frequency of 44.7Hz.
We talked about De-Mapping Jitter, What about De-Mapping Wander?
The Telcordia and Bellcore specifications define "Wander" as "Jitter with a frequency of less than 10Hz".
Based upon this definition, the DS3 signal (that is being transported by SONET) will cease to contain jitter and
will now contain "Wander", whenever the frequency offset of the DS3 signal being mapped into SONET is less
than 0.2ppm.
10.3
Jitter/Wander due to Pointer Adjustments
In the previous section, we described how a DS3 signal is asynchronously-mapped into SONET, and we also
defined "Mapping/De-mapping" jitter. In this section, we will describe how occurrences within the SONET
network will induce jitter/wander within the DS3 signal that is being transported across the SONET network.
In order to accomplish this, we will discuss the following topics in detail.
• The concept of an STS-1 SPE pointer

• The concept of Pointer Adjustments
• The causes of Pointer Adjustments
• How Pointer Adjustments induce jitter/wander within a DS3 signal being transported by that SONET network.
10.3.1
The Concept of an STS-1 SPE Pointer
As mentioned earlier, the STS-1 SPE is not aligned to the STS-1 frame boundaries and is permitted to "float"
within the Envelope Capacity. As a consequence, the STS-1 SPE will often times "straddle" across two
consecutive STS-1 frames. Figure 42 presents an illustration of an STS-1 SPE straddling across two
consecutive STS-1 frames.

SPE can straddle across two STS-1 frames
A PTE that is receiving and terminating an STS-1 data-stream will perform the following tasks.
• It will acquire and maintain STS-1 frame synchronization with the incoming STS-1 data-stream.
• Once the PTE has acquired STS-1 frame synchronization, then it will locate the J1 byte (e.g., the very byte
within the very next STS-1 SPE) within the Envelope Capacity by reading out the contents of the H1 and H2
bytes.
The H1 and H2 bytes are referred to (in the SONET standards) as the SPE Pointer Bytes. When these two
bytes are concatenated together in order to form a 16-bit word (with the H1 byte functioning as the "Most
Significant Byte") then the contents of the "lower" 10 bit-fields (within this 16-bit word) reflects the location of
the J1 byte within the Envelope Capacity of the incoming STS-1 data-stream. Figure 43 presents an
illustration of the bit format of the H1 and H2 bytes, and indicates which bit-fields are used to reflect the
location of the J1 byte.

Pointer Adjustments within the SONET Network
The word SONET stands for "Synchronous Optical NETwork. This name implies that the entire SONET
network is synchronized to a single clock source. However, because the SONET (and SDH) Networks can
105
XRT75R03D
THREE CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCRONIZER
REV. 1.0.4
span thousands of miles, traverse many different pieces of equipments, and even cross International
boundaries; in practice, the SONET/SDH network is NOT synchronized to a single clock source.
In practice, the SONET/SDH network can be thought of as being divided into numerous "Synchronization
Islands". Each of these "Synchronization Islands" will consist of numerous pieces of SONET Terminal
Equipment. Each of these pieces of SONET Terminal Equipment will all be synchronized to a single Stratum1 clock source which is the most accurate clock source within the Synchronization Island. Typically a
"Synchronization Island" will consist of a single "Timing Master" equipment along with multiple "Timing Slave"
pieces of equipment. This "Timing Master" equipment will be directly connected to the Stratum-1 clock source
and will have the responsibility of distributing a very accurate clock signal (that has been derived from the
Stratum 1 clock source) to each of the "Timing Slave" pieces of equipment within the "Synchronization Island".
The purpose of this is to permit each of the "Timing Slave" pieces of equipment to be "synchronized" with the
"Timing Master" equipment, as well as the Stratum 1 Clock source. Typically this "clock distribution" is
performed in the form of a BITS (Building Integrated Timing Supply) clock, in which a very precise clock signal
is provided to the other pieces of equipment via a T1 or E1 line signal.
Many of these "Synchronization Islands" will use a Stratum-1" clock source that is derived from GPS pulses
that are received from Satellites that operate at Geo-synchronous orbit. Other "Synchronization Islands" will
use a Stratum-1" clock source that is derived from a very precise local atomic clock. As a consequence,
different "Synchronization Islands" will use different Stratum 1 clock sources. The up-shot of having these
"Synchronization Islands" that use different "Stratum-1 clock" sources, is that the Stratum 1 Clock frequencies,
between these "Synchronization Islands" are likely to be slightly different from each other. These "frequencydifferences" within Stratum 1 clock sources will result in "clock-domain changes" as a SONET signal (that is
traversing the SONET network) passes from one "Synchronization Island" to another.
The following section will describe how these "frequency differences" will cause a phenomenon called "pointer
adjustments" to occur in the SONET Network.
10.3.3
Causes of Pointer Adjustments
The best way to discuss how pointer adjustment events occur is to consider an STS-1 signal, which is driven
by a timing reference of frequency f1; and that this STS-1 signal is being routed to a network equipment (that
resides within a different "Synchronization Island") and processes STS-1 data at a frequency of f2.
NOTE: Clearly, both frequencies f1 and f2 are at the STS-1 rate (e.g., 51.84MHz). However, these two frequencies are
likely to be slightly different from each other.
Now, since the STS-1 signal (which is of frequency f1) is being routed to the network element (which is
operating at frequency f2), the typical design approach for handling "clock-domain" differences is to route this
STS-1 signal through a "Slip Buffer" as illustrated below.
106

At Frequency f2.
In the "Slip Buffer, the "input" STS-1 data (labeled "STS-1 Data_IN") is latched into the FIFO, upon a given
edge of the corresponding "STS-1 Clock_f1" input clock signal. The STS-1 Data (labeled "STS-1 Data_OUT")
is clocked out of the Slip Buffer upon a given edge of the "STS-1 Clock_f2" input clock signal.
The behavior of the data, passing through the "Slip Buffer" is now described for each possible relationship
between frequencies f1 and f2.
If f1 = f2
If both frequencies, f1 and f2 are exactly equal, then the STS-1 data will be "clocked" into the "Slip Buffer" at
exactly the same rate that it is "clocked out". In this case, the "Slip Buffer" will neither fill-up nor become
depleted. As a consequence, no pointer-adjustments will occur in this STS-1 data stream. In other words, the
STS-1 SPE will remain at a constant location (or offset) within each STS-1 envelope capacity for the duration
that this STS-1 signal is supporting this particular service.
If f1 < f2
If frequency f1 is less than f2, then this means that the STS-1 data is being "clocked out" of the "Slip Buffer" at
a faster rate than it is being clocked in. In this case, the "Slip Buffer" will eventually become depleted.
Whenever this occurs, a typical strategy is to "stuff" (or insert) a "dummy byte" into the data stream. The
purpose of stuffing this "dummy byte" is to compensate for the frequency differences between f1 and f2, and
attempt to keep the "Slip Buffer, at a somewhat constant fill level.
NOTE: This "dummy byte" does not carry any valuable information (not for the user, nor for the system).
Since this "dummy byte" carries no useful information, it is important that the "Receiving PTE" be notified
anytime this "dummy byte" stuffing occurs. This way, the Receiving Terminal can "know" not to treat this
"dummy byte" as user data.
Byte-Stuffing and Pointer Incrementing in a SONET Network
Whenever this "byte-stuffing" occurs then the following other things occur within the STS-1 data stream.
During the STS-1 frame that contains the "Byte-Stuffing" event
a. The "stuff-byte" will be inserted into the byte position immediately after the H3 byte. This insertion of the
"dummy byte" immediately after the H3 byte position will cause the J1 byte (and in-turn, the rest of the
SPE) to be "byte-shifted" away from the H3 byte. As a consequence, the offset between the H3 byte position and the STS-1 SPE will now have been increased by 1 byte.
107

REV. 1.0.4
b. The "Transmitting" Network Equipment will notify the remote terminal of this byte-stuffing event, by inverting certain bits within the "pointer word" (within the H1 and H2 bytes) that are referred to as "I" bits.
Figure 46 presents an illustration of the bit-format within the 16-bit word (consist of the H1 and H2 bytes) with
the "I" bits designated.

During the STS-1 frame that follows the "Byte-Stuffing" event
The "I" bits (within the "pointer-word") will be set back to their normal value; and the contents of the H1 and H2
bytes will be incremented by "1".
If f1 > f2
If frequency f1 is greater than f2, then this means that the STS-1 data is being clocked into the "Slip Buffer" at
a faster rate than is being clocked out. In this case, the "Slip Buffer" will start to fill up. Whenever this occurs,
a typical strategy is to delete (e.g., negative-stuff) a byte from the Slip Buffer. The purpose of this "negativestuffing" is to compensate for the frequency differences between f1 and f2; and to attempt to keep the "Slip
Buffer" at a somewhat constant fill-level.
NOTE: This byte, which is being "un-stuffed" does carry valuable information for the user (e.g., this byte is typically a
payload byte). Therefore, whenever this negative stuffing occurs, two things must happen.
a. The "negative-stuffed" byte must not be simply discarded. In other words, it must somehow also be
transmitted to the remote PTE with the remainder of the SPE data.
b. The remote PTE must be notified of the occurrence of these "negative-stuffing" events. Further, the
remote PTE must know where to obtain this "negative-stuffed" byte.
Negative-Stuffing and Pointer-Decrementing in a SONET Network
Whenever this "byte negative-stuffing" occurs then the following other things occur within the STS-1 datastream.
During the STS-1 frame that contains the "Negative Byte-Stuffing" Event
a. The "Negative-Stuffed" byte will be inserted into the H3 byte position. Whenever an SPE data byte is
inserted into the H3 byte position (which is ordinarily an unused byte), the number of bytes that will exist
between the H3 byte and the J1 byte within the very next SPE will be reduced by 1 byte. As a
consequence, in this case, the J1 byte (and in-turn, the rest of the SPE) will now be "byte-shifted"
towards the H3 byte position.

b. The "Transmitting" Network Element will notify the remote terminal of this "negative-stuff" event by
inverting certain bits within the "pointer word" (within the H1 and H2 bytes) that are referred to as "D"
bits.
Figure 47 presents an illustration of the bit format within the 16-bit word (consisting of the H1 and H2 bytes)

REV. 1.0.4
Why are we talking about Pointer Adjustments?
The overall SONET network consists of numerous "Synchronization Islands". As a consequence, whenever a
SONET signal is being transmitted from one "Synchronization Island" to another; that SONET signal will
undergo a "clock domain" change as it traverses the network. This clock domain change will result in periodic
pointer-adjustments occurring within this SONET signal. Depending upon the direction of this "clock-domain"
shift that the SONET signal experiences, there will either be periodic "incrementing" pointer-adjustment events
or periodic "decrementing" pointer-adjustment events within this SONET signal.
Regardless of whether a given SONET signal is experiencing incrementing or decrementing pointer
adjustment events, each pointer adjustment event will result in an abrupt 8-bit shift in the position of the SPE
within the STS-1 data-stream. If this STS-1 signal is transporting an "asynchronously-mapped" DS3 signal;
then this 8-bit shift in the location of the SPE (within the STS-1 signal) will result in approximately 8UIpp of jitter
within the asynchronously-mapped DS3 signal, as it is de-mapped from SONET. In “Section 10.5, A Review
of the Category I Intrinsic Jitter Requirements (per Telcordia GR-253-CORE) for DS3 applications” on
page 111 we will discuss the "Category I Intrinsic Jitter Requirements (for DS3 Applications) per Telcordia GR253-CORE. However, for now we will simply state that this 8UIpp of intrinsic jitter far exceeds these "intrinsic
jitter" requirements.
In summary, pointer-adjustments events are a "fact of life" within the SONET/SDH network. Further, pointeradjustment events, within a SONET signal that is transporting an asynchronously-mapped DS3 signal, will
impose a significant impact on the Intrinsic Jitter and Wander within that DS3 signal as it is de-mapped from
SONET.
10.4
Clock Gapping Jitter
In most applications (in which the XRT75R03D will be used in a SONET De-Sync Application) the user will
typically interface the XRT75R03D to a Mapper Device in the manner as presented below in Figure 48.

In this application, the Mapper IC will have the responsibility of receiving an STS-N signal (from the SONET
Network) and performing all of the following operations on this STS-N signal.
• Byte-de-interleaving this incoming STS-N signal into N STS-1 signals
• Terminating each of these STS-1 signals
• Extracting (or de-mapping) the DS3 signal(s) from the SPEs within each of these terminated STS-1 signals.
110
XRT75R03D
THREE CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE
REV. 1.0.4
In this application, these Mapper devices can be thought of as multi-channel devices. For example, an STS-3
Mapper can be viewed as a 3-Channel DS3/STS-1 to STS-3 Mapper IC. Similarly, an STS-12 Mapper can be
viewed as a 12-Channel DS3/STS-1 to STS-12 Mapper IC. Continuing on with this line of thought, if a Mapper
IC is configured to receive an STS-N signal, and (from this STS-N signal) de-map and output N DS3 signals
(towards the DS3 facility), then it will typically do so in the following manner.
• In many cases, the Mapper IC will output this DS3 signal, using both a "Data-Signal" and a "Clock-Signal".
In many cases, the Mapper IC will output the contents of an entire STS-1 data-stream via the Data-Signal.
• However, as the Mapper IC output this STS-1 data-stream, it will typically supply clock pulses (via the ClockSignal output) coincident to whenever a DS3 bit is being output via the Data-Signal. In this case, the Mapper
IC will NOT supply a clock pulse coincident to when a TOH, POH, or any "non-DS3 data-bit" is being output
via the "Data-Signal".
Now, since the Mapper IC will output the entire STS-1 data stream (via the Data-Signal), the output ClockSignal will be of the form such that it has a period of 19.3ns (e.g., a 51.84MHz clock signal). However, the
Mapper IC will still generate approximately 44,736,000 clock pulses during any given one second period.
Hence, the clock signal that is output from the Mapper IC will be a horribly gapped 44.736MHz clock signal.
One can view such a clock signal as being a very-jittery 44.736MHz clock signal. This jitter that exists within
the "Clock-Signal" is referred to as "Clock-Gapping" Jitter. A more detailed discussion on how the user must
handle this type of jitter is presented in “Section 10.8.2, Recommendations on Pre-Processing the Gapped
Clocks (from the Mapper/ASIC Device) prior to routing this DS3 Clock and Data-Signals to the Transmit
Inputs of the XRT75R03D” on page 123.
10.5
A Review of the Category I Intrinsic Jitter Requirements (per Telcordia GR-253-CORE) for DS3
applications
The "Category I Intrinsic Jitter Requirements" per Telcordia GR-253-CORE (for DS3 applications) mandates

COMMENTS
NOTE: All of these intrinsic jitter measurements are to be performed using a band-pass filter of 10Hz to 400kHz.
Each of the scenarios presented in Table 31, are briefly described below.
10.5.1
DS3 De-Mapping Jitter
DS3 De-Mapping Jitter is the amount of Intrinsic Jitter that will be measured within the "Line" or "Facility-side"
DS3 signal, (after it has been de-mapped from a SONET signal) without the occurrence of "Pointer
Adjustments" within the SONET signal.
Telcordia GR-253-CORE requires that the "DS3 De-Mapping" Jitter be less than 0.4UI-pp, when measured
over all possible combinations of DS3 and STS-1 frequency offsets.
10.5.2
Single Pointer Adjustment
Telcordia GR-253-CORE states that if each pointer adjustment (within a continuous stream of pointer
adjustments) is separated from each other by a period of 30 seconds, or more; then they are sufficiently
isolated to be considered "Single-Pointer Adjustments".
Figure 49 presents an illustration of the "Single Pointer Adjustment" Scenario.

Designing with the XRT75R03D
In this section, we will discuss the following topics.
• How to design with and configure the XRT75R03D to permit a system to meet the above-mentioned Intrinsic
Jitter and Wander requirements.
• How is the XRT75R03D able to meet the above-mentioned requirements?
• How does the XRT75R03D permits the user to comply with the SONET APS Recovery Time requirements of
50ms (per Telcordia GR-253-CORE)?
• How should one configure the XRT75R03D, if one needs to support "Daisy-Chain" Testing at the end
Customer's site?
10.8.1
How to design and configure the XRT75R03D to permit a system to meet the abovementioned Intrinsic Jitter and Wander requirements
As mentioned earlier, in most application (in which the XRT75R03D will be used in a SONET De-Sync
Application) the user will typically interface the XRT75R03D to a Mapper device in the manner as presented
below in Figure 58.
In this application, the Mapper has the responsibility of receiving a SONET STS-N/OC-N signal and extracting
as many as N DS3 signals from this signal. As a given channel within the Mapper IC extracts out a given DS3
signal (from SONET) it will typically be applying a Clock and Data signal to the "Transmit Input" of the LIU IC.
Figure 58 presents a simple illustration as to how one channel, within the XRT75R03D should be connected to
the Mapper IC.

As mentioned above, the Mapper IC will typically output a Clock and Data signal to the XRT75R03D. In many
cases, the Mapper IC will output the contents of an entire STS-1 data-stream via the Data Signal to the
XRT75R03D. However, the Mapper IC typically only supplies a clock pulse via the Clock Signal to the
XRT75R03D coincident to whenever a DS3 bit is being output via the Data Signal. In this case, the Mapper IC
would not supply a clock edge coincident to when a TOH, POH or any non-DS3 data-bit is being output via the
Data-Signal.

XRT75R03D
THREE CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE
REV. 1.0.4
Figure 58 indicates that the Data Signal from the Mapper device should be connected to the TPDATA_n input
pin of the LIU IC and that the Clock Signal from the Mapper device should be connected to the TCLK_n input
pin of the LIU IC.
In this application, the XRT75R03D has the following responsibilities.
• Using a particular clock edge within the "gapped" clock signal (from the Mapper IC) to sample and latch the
value of each DS3 data-bit that is output from the Mapper IC.
• To (through the user of the Jitter Attenuator block) attenuate the jitter within this "DS3 data" and "clock
signal" that is output from the Mapper IC.
• To convert this "smoothed" DS3 data and clock into industry-compliant DS3 pulses, and to output these
pulses onto the line.
To configure the XRT75R03D to operate in the correct mode for this application, the user must execute the
following configuration steps.
a. Configure the XRT75R03D to operate in the DS3 Mode
The user can configure a given channel (within the XRT75R03D) to operate in the DS3 Mode, by executing
either of the following steps.
• If the XRT75R03D has been configured to operate in the Host Mode
The user can accomplish this by setting both Bits 2 (E3_n) and Bits 1 (STS-1/DS3*_n), within each of the
"Channel Control Registers" to "0" as depicted below.

b. Configure the XRT75R03D to operate in the Single-Rail Mode
Since the Mapper IC will typically output a single "Data Line" and a "Clock Line" for each DS3 signal that it
demaps from the incoming STS-N signal, it is imperative to configure each channel within the XRT75R03D to
operate in the Single Rail Mode.
The user can accomplish this by executing either of the following steps.

Once the user accomplishes either of these steps, then the Jitter Attenuator (within the XRT75R03D) will be
configured to operate with a very narrow bandwidth.
d. Configure the Jitter Attenuator (within each of three three channels) to operate in the Transmit Direction.
The user can accomplish this by executing either the following steps.
• If the XRT75R03D has been configured to operate in the Host Mode.

NOTES:

The ability to disable the "SONET APS Recovery Time" mode is only available if the XRT75R03D is operating in
the Host Mode. If the XRT75R03D is operating in the "Hardware" Mode, then this "SONET APS Recovery Time
Mode" feature will always be enabled.
2.
The "SONET APS Recovery Time" mode will be discussed in greater detail in “Section 10.8.3, How does the
XRT75R03D permit the user to comply with the SONET APS Recovery Time requirements of
50ms (per Telcordia GR-253-CORE)?” on page 127.
10.8.2
Recommendations on Pre-Processing the Gapped Clocks (from the Mapper/ASIC Device)
prior to routing this DS3 Clock and Data-Signals to the Transmit Inputs of the XRT75R03D
In order to minimize the effects of "Clock-Gapping" Jitter within the DS3 signal that is ultimately transmitted to
the DS3 Line (or facility), we recommend that some "pre-processing" of the "Data-Signals" and "Clock-Signals"
(which are output from the Mapper device) be implemented prior to routing these signals to the "Transmit
Inputs" of the XRT75R03D.
10.8.2.1
SOME NOTES PRIOR TO STARTING THIS DISCUSSION:
123
XRT75R03D
THREE CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCRONIZER
REV. 1.0.4
Our simulation results indicate that Jitter Attenuator PLL (within the XRT75R03D LIU IC) will have no problem
handling and processing the "Data-Signal" and "Clock-Signal" from a Mapper IC/ASIC if no pre-processing has
been performed on these signals. In order words, our simulation results indicate that the Jitter Attenuator PLL
(within the LIU IC) will have no problem handling the "worst-case" of 59 consecutive bits of no clock pulses in
the "Clock-Signal (due to the Mapper IC processing the TOH bytes, an Incrementing Pointer-Adjustmentinduced "stuffed-byte", the POH byte, and the two fixed-stuff bytes within the STS-1 SPE, etc), immediately
followed be processing clusters of DS3 data-bits (as shown in Figure 38) and still comply with the "Category I
Intrinsic Jitter Requirements per Telcordia GR-253-CORE for DS3 applications.
NOTE: If this sort of "pre-processing" is already supported by the Mapper device that you are using, then no further action
is required by the user.
10.8.2.2
OUR PRE-PROCESSING RECOMMENDATIONS
For the time-being, we recommend that the customer implement the "pre-processing" of the DS3 "Data-Signal"
and "Clock-Signal" as described below. Currently we are aware that some of the Mapper products on the
Market do implement this exact "pre-processing" algorithm. However, if the customer is implementing their
Mapper Design in an ASIC or FPGA solution, then we strongly recommend that the user implement the
necessary logic design to realize the following recommendations.
Some time ago, we spent some time, studying (and then later testing our solution with) the PM5342 OC-3 to
DS3 Mapper IC from PMC-Sierra. In particular, we wanted to understand the type of "DS3 Clock" and "Data"
signal that this DS3 to OC-3 Mapper IC outputs.
During this effort, we learned the following.
1.
This "DS3 Clock" and "Data" signal, which is output from the Mapper IC consists of two major "repeating"
patterns (which we will refer to as "MAJOR PATTERN A" and "MAJOR PATTERN B". The behavior of
each of these patterns is presented below.
MAJOR PATTERN A
MAJOR PATTERN A consists of two "sub" or minor-patterns, (which we will refer to as "MINOR PATTERN P1
and P2).
MINOR PATTERN P1 consists of a string of seven (7) clock pulses, followed by a single gap (no clock pulse).
An illustration of MINOR PATTERN P1 is presented below in Figure 59.
FIGURE 59. ILLUSTRATION OF MINOR PATTERN P1

It should be noted that each of these clock pulses has a period of approximately 19.3ns (or has an
"instantaneously frequency of 51.84MHz).
MINOR Pattern P2 consists of string of five (5) clock pulses, which is also followed by a single gap (no clock
pulse). An illustration of Pattern P2 is presented below in Figure 60.

HOW MAJOR PATTERN A IS SYNTHESIZED
MAJOR PATTERN A is created (by the Mapper IC) by:
• Repeating MINOR PATTERN P1 (e.g., 7 clock pulses, followed by a gap) 63 times.
• Upon completion of the 63rd transmission of MINOR PATTERN P1, MINOR PATTERN P2 is transmitted
repeatedly 36 times.
Figure 61 presents an illustration which depicts the procedure that is used to synthesize MAJOR PATTERN A

MINOR PATTERN P2
Hence, MAJOR PATTERN A consists of "(63 x 7) + (36 x 5)" = 621 clock pulses. These 621 clock pulses were
delivered over a period of "(63 x 8) + (36 x 6)" = 720 STS-1 (or 51.84MHz) clock periods.
MAJOR PATTERN B
MAJOR PATTERN B consists of three sub or minor-patterns (which we will refer to as "MINOR PATTERNS
P1, P2 and P3).
MINOR PATTERN P1, which is used to partially synthesize MAJOR PATTERN B, is exactly the same "MINOR
PATTERN P1" as was presented above in Figure 31. Similarly, the MINOR PATTERN P2, which is also used
to partially synthesize MAJOR PATTERN B, is exactly the same "MINOR PATTERN P2" as was presented in
Figure 32.
MINOR PATTERN P3 (which has yet to be defined) consists of a string of six (6) clock pulses, which contains
no gaps. An illustration of MINOR PATTERN P3 is presented below in Figure 62.

HOW MAJOR PATTERN B IS SYNTHESIZED
MAJOR PATTERN B is created (by the Mapper IC) by:
• Repeating MINOR PATTERN P1 (e.g., 7 clock pulses, followed by a gap) 63 times.
• Upon completion of the 63rd transmission of MINOR PATTERN P1, MINOR PATTERN P2 is transmitted
repeatedly 36 times.
• pon completion of the 35th transmission of MINOR PATTERN P2, MINOR PATTERN P3 is transmitted once.
Figure 63 presents an illustration which depicts the procedure that is used to synthesize MAJOR PATTERN B.

PATTERN P3
Hence, MAJOR PATTERN B consists of "(63 x 7) + (35 x 5)" + 6 = 622 clock pulses.
These 622 clock pulses were delivered over a period of "(63 x 8) + (35 x 6) + 6 = 720 STS-1 (or 51.84MHz)
clock periods.
PUTTING THE PATTERNS TOGETHER
Finally, the DS3 to OC-N Mapper IC clock output is reproduced by doing the following.
• MAJOR PATTERN A is transmitted two times (repeatedly).
• After the second transmission of MAJOR PATTERN A, MAJOR PATTERN B is transmitted once.
• Then the whole process repeats.
Throughout the remainder of this document, we will refer to this particular pattern as the "SUPER PATTERN".
Figure 64 presents an illustration of this "SUPER PATTERN" which is output via the Mapper IC.

CROSS-CHECKING OUR DATA
• Each SUPER PATTERN consists of (621 + 621 + 622) = 1864 clock pulses.
• The total amount of time, which is required for the "DS3 to OC-N Mapper" IC to transmit this SUPER
PATTERN is (720 + 720 + 720) = 2160 "STS-1" clock periods.
• This amount to a period of (2160/51.84MHz) = 41,667ns.
• In a period of 41, 667ns, the XRT75R03D (when configured to operate in the DS3 Mode), will output a total
(41,667ns x 44,736,000) = 1864 uniformly spaced DS3 clock pulses.
• Hence, the number of clock pulses match.
APPLYING THE SUPER PATTERN TO THE XRT75R03D
Whenever the XRT75R03D is configured to operate in a "SONET De-Sync" application, the device will accept
a continuous string of the above-defined SUPER PATTERN, via the TCLK input pin (along with the
corresponding data). The channel within the XRT75R03D (which will be configured to operate in the "DS3"
Mode) will output a DS3 line signal (to the DS3 facility) that complies with the "Category I Intrinsic Jitter
Requirements - per Telcordia GR-253-CORE (for DS3 applications). This scheme is illustrated below in Figure
65.

How does the XRT75R03D permit the user to comply with the SONET APS Recovery Time
requirements of 50ms (per Telcordia GR-253-CORE)?
Telcordia GR-253-CORE, Section 5.3.3.3 mandates that the "APS Completion" (or Recovery) time be 50ms or
less. Many of our customers interpret this particular requirement as follows.
127
XRT75R03D
THREE CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCRONIZER
REV. 1.0.4
"From the instant that an APS is initiated on a high-speed SONET signal, all lower-speed SONET traffic (which
is being transported via this "high-speed" SONET signal) must be fully restored within 50ms. Similarly, if the
"high-speed" SONET signal is transporting some PDH signals (such as DS1 or DS3, etc.), then those entities
that are responsible for acquiring and maintaining DS1 or DS3 frame synchronization (with these DS1 or DS3
data-streams that have been de-mapped from SONET) must have re-acquired DS1 or DS3 frame
synchronization within 50ms" after APS has been initiated."
The XRT75R03D was designed such that the DS3 signals that it receives from a SONET Mapper device and
processes will comply with the Category I Intrinsic Jitter requirements per Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
Reference 1 documents some APS Recovery Time testing, which was performed to verify that the Jitter
Attenuator blocks (within the XRT75R03D) device that permit it to comply with the Category I Intrinsic Jitter
Requirements (for DS3 Applications) per Telcordia GR-253-CORE, do not cause it to fail to comply with the
"APS Completion Time" requirements per Section 5.3.3.3 of Telcordia GR-253-CORE. However, Table 3
presents a summary of some APS Recovery Time requirements that were documented within this test report.

Configuring the XRT75R03D to be able to comply with the SONET APS Recovery Time Requirements of
50ms
Quite simply, the user can configure a given Jitter Attenuator block (associated with a given channel) to (1)
comply with the "APS Completion Time" requirements per Telcordia GR-253-CORE, and (2) also comply with
the "Category I Intrinsic Jitter Requirements per Telcordia GR-253-CORE (for DS3 applications) by making
sure that Bit 4 (SONET APS Recovery Time Disable Ch_n), within the Jitter Attenuator Control Register is set
to "0" as depicted below.

NOTE: The user can only disable the "SONET APS Recovery Time Mode" if the XRT75R03D is operating in the Host
Mode. If the user is operating the XRT75R03D in the Hardware Mode, then the user will have NO ability to disable
the "SONET APS Recovery Time Mode" feature.
10.8.4
How should one configure the XRT75R03D, if one needs to support "Daisy-Chain" Testing at
the end Customer's site?
Daisy-Chain testing is emerging as a new requirements that many of our customers are imposing on our
SONET Mapper and LIU products. Many System Designer/Manufacturers are finding out that whenever their
end-customers that are evaluating and testing out their systems (in order to determine if they wish to move
forward and start purchasing this equipment in volume) are routinely demanding that they be able to test out
these systems with a single piece of test equipment. This means that the end-customer would like to take a
single piece of DS3 or STS-1 test equipment and (with this test equipment) snake the DS3 or STS-1 traffic
(that this test equipment will generate) through many or (preferably all) channels within the system. For
example, we have had request from our customers that (on a system that supports OC-192) our silicon be able
to support this DS3 or STS-1 traffic snaking through the 192 DS3 or STS-1 ports within this system.
After extensive testing, we have determined that the best approach to complying with test "Daisy-Chain"
Testing requirements, is to configure the Jitter Attenuator blocks (within each of the Channels within the
XRT75R03D) into the "32-Bit" Mode. The user can configure the Jitter Attenuator block (within a given channel
of the XRT75R03D) to operate in this mode by settings in the table below.
