SIX CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCHRONIZER
DECEMBER 2004
REV. 1.0.0
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT75R06D is a six channel fully integrated Line
Interface Unit (LIU) featuring EXAR’s R3 Technology
(Reconfigurable, Relayless, Redundancy) for E3/
DS3/STS-1 applications. The LIU incorporates 6
independent Receivers, Transmitters and Jitter
Attenuators in a single 217 Lead BGA package.
Each channel of the XRT75R06D can be
independently configured to operate in E3 (34.368
MHz), DS3 (44.736 MHz) or STS-1 (51.84 MHz).
Each transmitter can be turned off and tri-stated for
redundancy support or for conserving power.
The XRT75R06D’s differential receiver provides high
noise interference margin and is able to receive data
over 1000 feet of cable or with up to 12 dB of cable
attenuation.
The XRT75R06D incorporates an advanced crystalless jitter attenuator per channel that can be selected
either in the transmit or receive path. The jitter
attenuator performance meets the ETSI TBR-24 and
Bellcore GR-499 specifications.
Also, the jitter
attenuators can be used for clock smoothing in
SONET STS-1 to DS-3 de-mapping.
The XRT75R06D provides a Parallel Microprocessor
Interface for programming and control.
The XRT75R06D supports analog, remote and digital
loop-backs. The device also has a built-in Pseudo
Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) generator and
detector with the ability to insert and detect single bit
error for diagnostic purposes.

SIX CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCHRONIZER
REV. 1.0.0
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT75R06D is a six channel fully integrated Line Interface Unit featuring EXAR’s R 3 Technology
(Reconfigurable, Relayless Redundancy) for E3/DS3/STS-1 applications. The LIU incorporates 6 independent
Receivers, Transmitters and Jitter Attenuators in a single 217 Lead BGA package. Each channel can be
independently programmed to support E3, DS-3 or STS-1 line rates using one input clock reference of
12.288MHz in Single Frequency Mode (SFM). The LIU is responsible for providing the physical connection
between a line interface and an aggregate mapper or framing device. Along with the analog-to-digital
processing, the LIU offers monitoring and diagnostic features to help optimize network design implementation.
A key characteristic within the network topology is Automatic Protection Switching (APS).
EXAR’s proven expertise in providing redundany solutions has paved the way for R3 Technology.
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 aggregate 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. With this

SIX CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCHRONIZER
2.0 CLOCK SYNTHESIZER
The LIU uses a flexible user interface for accepting clock references to generate the internal master clocks
used to drive the LIU. The reference clock used to supply the microprocessor timing is generated from the DS3 or SFM clock input. Therefore, if the chip is configured for STS-1 only or E3 only, then the DS-3 input pin
must be connected to the STS-1 pin or E3 pin respectively. In DS-3 mode or when SFM is used, the STS-1
and E3 input pins can be left unconnected. If SFM is enabled by pulling the SFM_EN pin "High", 12.288MHz is
the only clock reference necessary to generate DS-3, E3, or STS-1 line rates and the microprocessor timing.
A simplified block diagram of the clock synthesizer is shown in Figure 4

Clock Distribution
Network cards that are designed to support multiple line rates which are not configured for single frequency
mode should ensure that a clock is applied to the DS3Clk input pin. For example: If the network card being
supplied to an ISP requires E3 only, the DS-3 input clock reference is still necessary to provide read and write
access to the internal microprocessor. Therefore, the E3 mode requires two input clock references. If
however, multiple line rates will not be supported, i.e. E3 only, then the DS3Clk input pin may be hard wire
connected to the E3Clk input pin.

The receiver is designed so that the LIU can recover clock and data from an attenuated line signal caused by
cable loss or flat loss according to industry specifications. Once data is recovered, it is processed and
presented at the receiver outputs according to the format chosen to interface with a Framer/Mapper or ASIC.
This section describes the detailed operation of various blocks within the receive path. A simplified block

Receive Line Interface
Physical Layer devices are AC coupled to a line interface through a 1:1 transformer. The transformer provides
isolation and a level shift by blocking the DC offset of the incoming data stream. The typical medium for the
line interface is a 75Ω coxial cable. Whether using E3, DS-3 or STS-1, the LIU requires the same bill of
materials, see Figure 7.

Adaptive Gain Control (AGC)
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. The peak
detector provides feedback to the equalizer before slicing occurs.
3.3
Receive Equalizer
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 be disabled by programming the appropriate register.

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 enabled. 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 disabled for
cable length less than 300 feet. This would help to prevent over-equalization of the signal and thus optimize
the performance in terms of better jitter transfer characteristics. The Equalizer also contains an additional 20
dB gain stage to provide the line monitoring capability of the resistively attenuated signals which may have
20dB flat loss. The equalizer gain mode can be enabled by programming the appropriate register.
NOTE: The results of extensive testing indicate that even when the Equalizer was enabled, regardless of the cable length,
the integrity of the E3 signal was restored properly over 0 to 12 dB cable loss at Industrial Temperature.
3.4
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:
3.4.1
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.
3.4.2
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” or setting the RLOL_n bit to “1” in the control
register. Also, the clock output on the RxClk_n pins are the same as the reference channel clock.

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 1.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.

The decoder block takes the output from the clock and data recovery block and decodes the B3ZS (for DS3 or

stream. Whenever the input signal violates the B3ZS or HDB3 coding sequence for bipolar violation or

the RLCV_n output pins to indicate line code violation.

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.
4.3
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).
4.3.1
B3ZS Encoding
An example of B3ZS encoding is shown in Figure 19. 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.

substitution code is made in such a way that an odd number of pulses exist between any consecutive V pulses.
This avoids the introduction of DC component into the analog signal.

TRANSMIT PULSE SHAPER
The Transmit Pulse Shaper converts the B3ZS encoded digital pulses into a single analog Alternate Mark
Inversion (AMI) pulse that meets the industry standard mask template requirements for STS-1 and DS3. For
E3 mode, the pulse shaper converts the HDB3 encoded pulses into a single full amplitude square shaped
pulse with very little slope. The Pulse Shaper Block also includes a Transmit Build Out Circuit, which can
either be disabled or enabled by setting the TxLEV_n bit to “1” or “0” in the control register. 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. The differential line driver increases the
transmit waveform to appropriate level and drives into the 75Ω load as shown in Figure 21.

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 270Ω
resistor and MRing_n pins to TRing_n lines via 270Ω resistor as shown in Figure 25.

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.

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 to “High” and write a “1” to the TxON_n control bit. When the transmitter is turned off, TTIP_n and
TRing_n are tri-stated.
NOTES:
1.
This feature provides support for Redundancy.
2. 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 pin.

5.0 JITTER
There are three fundamental parameters that describe circuit performance relative to jitter
• Jitter Tolerance
• Jitter Transfer
• Jitter Generation
5.1
JITTER TOLERANCE
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 26, 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.

JITTER TRANSFER
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-controlled 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 9
shows the jitter transfer characteristics and/or jitter attenuation specifications for various data rates:

ETSI TBR-24

GR-253 CORE section 5.6.2.1
NOTE: The above specifications can be met only with a jitter attenuator that supports E3/DS3/STS-1 rates.
5.3
Jitter Attenuator
An advanced crystal-less jitter attenuator per channel is included in the XRT75R06D. The jitter attenuator
requires no external crystal nor high-frequency reference clock. 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. The FIFO size can be either 16-bit or 32-bit. 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. 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 10 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.

6.0 DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES
6.1
PRBS Generator and Detector
The XRT75R06D contains an on-chip Pseudo Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) generator and detector for
diagnostic purpose. 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 30 shows the status of RNEG/LCV pin when the XRT75R06D is configured in PRBS mode.
NOTE: In PRBS mode, the device is forced to operate in Single-Rail Mode.

LOOPBACKS
The XRT75R06D offers three loopback modes for diagnostic purposes. The loopback modes are selected via
the RLB_n and LLB_n bits n the Channel control registers select the loopback modes.
6.2.1
ANALOG LOOPBACK
In this mode, the transmitter outputs TTIP_n and TRing_n are internally connected to the receiver inputs
RTIP_n and RRing_n as shown in Figure 31. Data and clock are output at RxClk_n, RxPOS_n and RxNEG_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.
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.

The Microprocessor Interface section supports communication between the local microprocessor (µP) and the
LIU. The XRT75R06D supports a parallel interface asynchronously or synchronously timed to the LIU. The
microprocessor interface is selected by the state of the Pmode input pin. Selecting the microprocessor interface mode is shown in Table 11.

The local µP configures the LIU by writing data into specific addressable, on-chip Read/Write registers. The
µP provides the signals which are required for a general purpose microprocessor to read or write data into
these registers. The µP also supports polled and interrupt driven environments. A simplified block diagram of

7.2 ASYNCHRONOUS AND SYNCHRONOUS DESCRIPTION
Whether the LIU is configured for Asynchronous or Synchronous mode, the following descriptions apply. The
synchronous mode requires an input clock (PCLK) to be used as the microprocessor timing reference. Read
and Write operations are described below.
Read Cycle (For Pmode = "0" or "1")
Whenever the local µP wishes to read the contents of a register, it should do the following.
1. Place the address of the target register on the address bus input pins Addr[7:0].
2. While the µP is placing this address value on the address bus, the address decoding circuitry should
assert the CS pin of the LIU, by toggling it "Low". This action enables communication between the µP and
the LIU microprocessor interface block.
3. Next, the µP should indicate that this current bus cycle is a Read operation by toggling the RD input pin
"Low". This action enables the bi-directional data bus output drivers of the LIU.
4. After the µP toggles the Read signal "Low", the LIU will toggle the RDY output pin "Low". The LIU does this
to inform the µP that the data is available to be read by the µP, and that it is ready for the next command.
5. After the µP detects the RDY signal and has read the data, it can terminate the Read Cycle by toggling the
RD input pin "High".
6. The CS input pin must be pulled "High" before a new command can be issued.
Write Cycle (For Pmode = "0" or "1")
Whenever a local µP wishes to write a byte or word of data into a register within the LIU, it should do the following.
1. Place the address of the target register on the address bus input pins Addr[7:0].
2. While the µP is placing this address value on the address bus, the address decoding circuitry should
assert the CS pin of the LIU, by toggling it "Low". This action enables communication between the µP and
the LIU microprocessor interface block.
3. The µP should then place the byte or word that it intends to write into the target register, on the bi-directional data bus D[7:0].
4. Next, the µP should indicate that this current bus cycle is a Write operation by toggling the WR input pin
"Low". This action enables the bi-directional data bus input drivers of the LIU.
5. After the µP toggles the Write signal "Low", the LIU will toggle the RDY output pin "Low". The LIU does this
to inform the µP that the data has been written into the internal register location, and that it is ready for the
next command.
6. The CS input pin must be pulled "High" before a new command can be issued.

SIX CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCHRONIZER
8.0 THE SONET/SDH DE-SYNC FUNCTION WITHIN THE LIU
The LIU with D-SYNC is very similar to the non D-SYNC LIU in that they both contain Jitter Attenuator blocks
within each channel. They are also pin to pin compatible with each other. However, the Jitter Attenuators
within the D-SYNC have some enhancements over and above those within the non D-SYNC device. The Jitter
Attenuator blocks will support all of the modes and features that exist in the non D-SYNC device and in
addition they also support a SONET/SDH De-Sync Mode.
NOTE: The "D" suffix within the part number stands for "De-Sync".
The SONET/SDH De-Sync feature of the Jitter Attenuator blocks 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 LIU 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 following 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
• 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 LIU
• This DS3 or E3 signal (as it is output from these Mapper devices) will contain a large amount of 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 LIU 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 LIU 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 above-mentioned intrinsic jitter and
wander specifications.
8.1
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 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
57

SIX CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCHRONIZER
REV. 1.0.0
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 39 presents an illustration of this approach to transporting DS3 data over a SONET Network
FIGURE 39. A SIMPLE ILLUSTRATION OF A DS3 SIGNAL BEING MAPPED INTO AND TRANSPORTED OVER THE 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 LIU can assist the System Designer (of SONET/SDH PTE) by ensuring 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.
• Some background information on Mapping DS3/E3 signals into SONET/SDH and de-mapping DS3/E3
signals from SONET/SDH.
• A brief discussion on the causes of jitter and wander within a DS3 or E3 signal that mapped into a SONET/
SDH signal, and is transported across the SONET/SDH Network.
• A brief review of these Intrinsic Jitter and Wander requirements in both SONET and SDH applications.
• A brief review on the Intrinsic Jitter and Wander measurement results (of a de-mapped DS3 or E3 signal)
whenever the LIU device is used in a system design.
• A detailed discussion on how to design with and configure the LIU device such that the end-system will meet
these Intrinsic Jitter and Wander requirements.

In a SONET system, the relevant specification requirements for Intrinsic Jitter and Wander (within a DS3 signal
that is mapped into and then de-mapped from SONET) are listed below.
• Telcordia GR-253-CORE Category I Intrinsic Jitter Requirements for DS3 Applications (Section 5.6), and
• ANSI T1.105.03b-1997 - SONET Jitter at Network Interfaces - DS3 Wander Supplement
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.
• A review of the Category I Intrinsic Jitter Requirements (per Telcordia GR-253-CORE) for DS3 applications
• A review of the DS3 Wander requirements per ANSI T1.105.03b-1997
• A review of the Intrinsic Jitter and Wander Capabilities of the LIU in a typical system application
• An in-depth discussion on how to design with and configure the LIU to permit the system to the meet the
above-mentioned Intrinsic Jitter and Wander requirements
NOTE:
An in-depth discussion on SDH De-Sync Applications will be presented in the next revision of this data sheet.
8.2
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).
8.2.1
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.
8.2.1.1
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 40.
FIGURE 40. 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 40 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 40) 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
8.2.1.1.1
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 41 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.

The TOH Bytes
Although the role of the H1, H2 and H3 bytes will be discussed in much greater detail in “Section 8.3, Jitter/
Wander due to Pointer Adjustments” on page 70. 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.
8.2.1.1.2
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 42 and Figure 43 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.
8.2.1.1.3
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 44.

• 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.
8.2.1.2
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 GR-253CORE 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 45.

REV. 1.0.0
Figure 46 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.
8.2.2
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.
• The Ideal Case (e.g., with no frequency offsets)
• The 44.736Mbps + 1 ppm Case
66
áç
XRT75R06D
REV. 1.0.0
SIX CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCHRONIZER
• 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.
8.2.2.1
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 47. 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 46, 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
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).
67
áç
XRT75R06D
SIX CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCHRONIZER
REV. 1.0.0
As a consequence, no "Mapping/De-Mapping" Jitter or Wander is induced in the "Ideal Case".
8.2.2.2
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).

SIX CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCHRONIZER
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.
8.2.2.3
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.
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).
Figure 49 presents an illustration of the STS-1 SPE traffic that will be generated by the "Source" PTE, during
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.
8.3
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.
8.3.1
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

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 51 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
72
áç
XRT75R06D

SIX CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCHRONIZER
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 Stratum-1
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.
8.3.3
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.

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.
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.

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.

8.3.4
SIX CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCHRONIZER
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 8.5, A Review of
the Category I Intrinsic Jitter Requirements (per Telcordia GR-253-CORE) for DS3 applications” on page 78
we will discuss the "Category I Intrinsic Jitter Requirements (for DS3 Applications) per Telcordia GR-253CORE. 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.

Clock Gapping Jitter
In most applications (in which the LIU will be used in a SONET De-Sync Application) the user will typically
interface the LIU to a Mapper Device in the manner as presented below in Figure 56.

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.
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
77
áç
XRT75R06D
SIX CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCHRONIZER
REV. 1.0.0
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 8.8.2, 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 LIU” on page 89.

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 19, are briefly described below.
8.5.1
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.
8.5.2
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 57 presents an illustration of the "Single Pointer Adjustment" Scenario.

NOT exceed the value 0.3UI-pp + Ao.
NOTES:
1. Ao is the amount of Intrinsic Jitter that was measured during the "De-Mapping" Jitter portion of this test.
2. Testing must be performed for both Incrementing and Decrementing Pointer Adjustments.

Designing with the LIU
In this section, we will discuss the following topics.
• How to design with and configure the LIU to permit a system to meet the above-mentioned Intrinsic Jitter and
Wander requirements.
• How is the LIU able to meet the above-mentioned requirements?
• How does the LIU permits the user to comply with the SONET APS Recovery Time requirements of 50ms
(per Telcordia GR-253-CORE)?
• How should one configure the LIU, if one needs to support "Daisy-Chain" Testing at the end Customer's site?
8.8.1
How to design and configure the LIU to permit a system to meet the above-mentioned
Intrinsic Jitter and Wander requirements
As mentioned earlier, in most application (in which the LIU will be used in a SONET De-Sync Application) the
user will typically interface the LIU to a Mapper device in the manner as presented below in Figure 66.
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 66 presents a simple illustration as to how one channel, within the LIU should be connected to the
Mapper IC.

As mentioned above, the Mapper IC will typically output a Clock and Data signal to the LIU. In many cases,
the Mapper IC will output the contents of an entire STS-1 data-stream via the Data Signal to the LIU. However,
the Mapper IC typically only supplies a clock pulse via the Clock Signal to the LIU 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.
Figure 66 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 LIU has the following responsibilities.
86
áç
XRT75R06D
SIX CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCHRONIZER
REV. 1.0.0
• 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 LIU to operate in the correct mode for this application, the user must execute the following
configuration steps.
a. Configure the LIU to operate in the DS3 Mode
The user can configure a given channel (within the LIU) to operate in the DS3 Mode, by executing either of the
following steps.
• If the LIU 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 LIU 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 LIU to operate in
the Single Rail Mode.
The user can accomplish this by executing either of the following steps.
• If the LIU has been configured to operate in the Host Mode
The user can accomplish this by setting Bit 0 (SR/DR*), within the each of the "Channel Control" Registers to
1, as illustrated below.

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

always be enabled.
2. The "SONET APS Recovery Time" mode will be discussed in greater detail in “Section 8.8.3, How does the LIU
permit the user to comply with the SONET APS Recovery Time requirements of 50ms (per Telcordia GR-253CORE)?” on page 93.
8.8.2
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 LIU
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 LIU.
8.8.2.1
SOME NOTES PRIOR TO STARTING THIS DISCUSSION:
89
áç
XRT75R06D
SIX CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT WITH SONET DESYNCHRONIZER
REV. 1.0.0
Our simulation results indicate that Jitter Attenuator PLL (within the LIU 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 46) 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.
8.8.2.2
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 67.
FIGURE 67. 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 68.

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 69 presents an illustration which depicts the procedure that is used to synthesize MAJOR PATTERN A
FIGURE 69. ILLUSTRATION OF PROCEDURE WHICH IS USED TO SYNTHESIZE MAJOR PATTERN A
Repeats 63 Times
MINOR PATTERN P1
Repeats 36 Times
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 39. 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 40.
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 70.

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 71 presents an illustration which depicts the procedure that is used to synthesize MAJOR PATTERN B.

PATTERN P2
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 72 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 LIU (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 LIU
Whenever the LIU 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 LIU (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 73.

How does the LIU 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.
"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 LIU 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 LIU) 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 LIU 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 LIU is operating in the Host Mode. If the
user is operating the LIU in the Hardware Mode, then the user will have NO ability to disable the "SONET APS
Recovery Time Mode" feature.
8.8.4
How should one configure the LIU, 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 LIU)
into the "32-Bit" Mode. The user can configure the Jitter Attenuator block (within a given channel of the LIU) to
operate in this mode by settings in the table below.
