FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
• Bit-serial, nibble-parallel, and byte-parallel
interface capability, selectable via control bits
The Bit Error Rate Generator/Receiver (XBERT) VLSI
device is a microprocessor-programmable multi-rate
test pattern generator and receiver on a single chip. It is
used for testing the performance of digital communication circuits and communication links. It provides a bitserial, nibble-parallel or byte-parallel interface, and is
capable of operating in a burst data mode by using
external signals to enable/disable the transmit and
receive clocks. The XBERT generates and analyzes
pseudo-random patterns, fixed words, or programmable
words. Four pseudo-random test patterns are provided:
215 - 1, 220 - 1, 220 - 1 with zero suppression (QuasiRandom Signal Source, not available in byte-parallel
mode), and 223 - 1. The fixed word mode generates and
analyzes all zeros, all ones, alternate one/zero pattern
or a double alternate one/zero (1100) pattern. The programmable mode allows a choice of one to four bytes
written by the microprocessor.
• Transmit and receive clock rate: 100 Hz to 78
MHz for serial, nibble, byte I/O (all telecom rates
up to OC-12/STM-4)
• Test patterns at up to 622 Mbit/s using byteparallel interface and some external circuitry
• 215 - 1, 220 - 1, 220 - 1 QRSS and 223 - 1
pseudo-random generators and detectors

BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 is a simplified block diagram of the XBERT. The Input Block accepts bit-serial (RXSD), nibble-parallel
(RXD3-RXD0) or byte-parallel (RXD7-RXD0) data, one of which is selected by writing control bits in the memory map. Incoming data is clocked into the XBERT on positive transitions of the clock signal (RXCK). An input
for a receive enable signal (RXCKEN) is provided. A low on this signal lead disables the input clock from clocking in data and permits operation in burst mode.

The test pattern, which is common to both the receiver and transmitter, is selected by writing control bits in the
memory map. Each of the test pattern detectors is equipped with a pattern generator and comparator. The
comparison between the incoming data and the pattern generator is enabled after frame alignment takes
place, or when the receive start of the pseudo-random feature (RSPF) is used.
For a 1100 test pattern, a simplified view of the frame alignment (after two consecutive pattern matches), error
detection, and loss of frame alignment (after three consecutive pattern match failures) is shown below:

Running counts of the numbers of bit errors and clock cycles are maintained in two 24-bit counters. Bit error
rate performance is determined by having the microprocessor read the counters on a scheduled basis and
compute the ratio as an error rate, making due allowance for bit/clock ratios of 4 in nibble-parallel operation
and 8 in byte-parallel operation. The clock counter operates regardless of frame alignment status. Both
counters should be read together, and at intervals of less than the roll-over interval of the clock counter (about
16 million clock cycles). When XBERT is “in frame”, errors are detected one event later. No bit errors are
detected after a loss of frame condition occurs.
The transmit clock signal (TXCK) provides the time base for transmitter operation. An input transmit enable
signal (TXCKEN) is provided. A low disables the input clock (TXCK) from clocking out data and permits operation in burst mode. This feature is provided for applications where a gapped clock signal is required to prevent
the transmitter from clocking out test pattern data.
The interface selection is common to both the receiver and transmitter. The transmit clock signal (TXCK) is
used to derive the TXSC, TXNC and the TXBC clock signals. Bit-serial, nibble-parallel and byte-parallel data
are clocked out of the XBERT on the falling edges of TXSC, TXNC and TXBC respectively.
For framer applications, a transmit start of pseudo-random pattern framing pulse (TSPF) is used to preset the
transmit pseudo-random generators’ shift registers to ones. This feature permits the XBERT to start the
pseudo-random pattern immediately with a fixed relationship to the start of a frame.
For framer applications, a receive start of pseudo-random pattern framing pulse (RSPF) disables the frame
alignment circuits in the pseudo-random pattern detectors and presets the pseudo-random generators’ shift
registers to ones, which will result in an immediate “in frame” condition. Used in conjunction with the transmit
start of pseudo-random pattern pulse, this feature permits the XBERT to start a search immediately for bit
errors in the receive data. A software reset is required to enable the frame alignment circuitry in the pseudorandom detectors for normal operation.
The microprocessor interface consists of four address bits (A3-A0), eight bidirectional data bus bits (D7-D0),
chip select (CS), and the read (RD) and write (WR) signal inputs. A Transmit-to-Receive (TR) loopback feature
is provided for self-testing the XBERT device.

Receive Start of Pseudo-random Pattern Framing:
An active low enables the PRBS detector to search for
an all ones pattern, defining the start of PRBS pattern
detection. The first receive pulse sequence (all ones)
disables the loss of frame alignment circuit and enables
the bit error counter and clock cycle counter. RXCKEN
must be enabled before RSPF is clocked in. Once
enabled, this feature can only be disabled by a reset.
This pin is inoperative for fixed or programmable word
patterns.
* See Input, Output and I/O Parameters section for Type definitions.
Note 1: Use of a gapped Receive Clock input (RXCK) or the Receive Clock Enable (RXCKEN) input to disable clocking in
of Receive Data for defined time intervals is subject to restrictions. Please contact TranSwitch Applications Engineering for additional technical information relevant to applications employing these capabilities.

Region 1 = XBERT may be used in a maximum ambient temperature of TA = 85oC for TXCK and RXCK clock
frequencies < 35 MHz. This yields a maximum bit rate of 8 x 35 = 280 Mbit/sec.
Region 2 = XBERT may be used in a maximum ambient temperature of TA = 70oC for TXCK and RXCK clock
frequencies 35 MHz < f < 45 MHz. This yields a maximum bit rate of 8 x 45 = 360 Mbit/sec.
Note: Combinations of frequency and ambient temperature beyond the safe operating regions require additional heat dissipation methods (the maximum power is 1.38 watts at 622/8 = 78 MHz). A TranSwitch Application Note entitled “Designing
with TranSwitch XBERT Devices for Byte Interface at the OC-12 Rate”, document number TXC-06125-AN1, provides guidance on circuit and heat sink requirements for operation of XBERT at 622 Mbit/s.

OPERATION
DECOUPLING OF POWER SUPPLY PINS
Each of the two +5 volt power supply pins of the XBERT device, pins 1 and 23, should be decoupled using a
series inductor (ferrite bead) and capacitors that are effective at both low and high frequencies, as shown in
Figure 12. These external components should be placed close to the pin, especially the lower-valued RF
capacitor.

Figure 12. Recommended Decoupling of Power Supply Pins
EXTERNAL CIRCUIT FOR PROPER UPDATING OF BIT ERROR AND CLOCK COUNTERS
Under certain combinations of microprocessor access and telecommunications usage, the Bit Error Counter
(at memory map addresses 06H, 07H and 08H) and the Clock Counter (at memory map addresses 09H, 0AH
and 0BH) may not be updated correctly by the XBERT device. Since it is not possible to specify all the combinations of conditions under which this incorrect operation can occur, it is recommended that users of the
XBERT device should either contact the Applications Engineering Department at TranSwitch for advice on the
susceptibility of their particular applications, or avoid any potential problems in their designs by employing the
external circuit and special software precautions described below.
The two 24-bit counters are specially designed to record their event counts accurately even when the counters
are being read by the microprocessor. The counters latch during a microprocessor read operation, and both
counters must be read together by six read cycles performed on addresses 09H (first), 0AH, 0BH, 06H, 07H
and 08H (last). The final reading of address 08H starts a state machine that transfers the counts synchronously with the receive clock. This transfer occurs upon the third ungapped receive clock after the rising edge
of the RD input signal applied during the address 08H read access. However, the state machine is cleared
from its update sequence upon the next microprocessor initiation of active RD or WR input signals, so correct
update operation requires that one of these does not occur before the update has been processed, i.e., before
three clock periods have elapsed. Incorrect operation will result in a failure to update the counters, which will
appear to be stuck.

XBERT
TXC-06125
This problem may avoided by employing an external circuit and special software to ensure that the XBERT
does not experience an active RD or WR input during the critical period of three clock cycles. The circuit
shown in Figure 13 gates the read and write lines with the XBERT’s chip select input to ensure that the XBERT
does not see any read or write signals intended for other devices, which may occur during the critical period
(the gate in the chip select line is intended only to equalize the gate delays on all three input pins so that the
microprocessor read/write cycle timing diagrams of this Data Sheet are applicable without special adjustment
for differences in the relative timing between RD or WR and CS). Read or write signals which are intended for
the XBERT (i.e., those which are active when CS is low) must be programmed not to occur during the critical
period. The hold-off time from reading address 08H to the next read or write of the group starting with address
09H must be arranged to be a minimum of:
[3 + (maximum number of successive read clock gaps)] x 1/(receive clock frequency)
For example, a T1 application requires the following hold-off time from accessing address 08H to accessing
address 09H:
[3 + (1 overhead bit time)] x 1/1.544MHz = 4 x 0.666 = 2.664 microseconds (rounded up to 2.7).

Send Single Error: A single bit error is transmitted by writing a one into this
bit position. The error is sent in the next bit time after being written. After
sending the single error, the bit is reset by the XBERT. The microprocessor
must write a one in order to send another single bit error.
RESETC Reset Performance Counters: A one causes the bit error counter (locations 06H, 07H, and 08H) and the clock counter (locations 09H, 0AH, and
0BH) to be reset to 0. XBERT resets this bit after the performance counters
have been reset. This bit does not affect registers 00H through 05H.

Transmit-to-Receive (TR) Loopback: A one activates the transmit-toreceive loopback testing feature. Data is transmitted and is also looped back

TranSwitch Test: A zero must be written into this bit position.
Loss of Frame: An “in frame” condition for any fixed word pattern (e.g.,
1100, 1010) occurs when two consecutive error-free 4-bit patterns are
received. Loss of frame occurs when three consecutive 4-bit patterns are
received in error or when 30 or more bits in a block of 1000 consecutive bits
are in error.
An “in frame” condition for any programmable word occurs when two consecutive error-free word patterns are received. The programmable word pattern can vary from 1 to 4 words, which equates to 2 to 8 words before an “in
frame” condition can occur. Loss of frame occurs when three consecutive
word patterns are received in error or when 30 or more bits in a block of
1000 consecutive bits are in error.
An “in frame” condition for any PRBS pattern occurs when the start of frame
pulse sequence is received. The length of the start of frame pulse sequence
equals the exponent number of the PRBS pattern. Therefore, a 223-1 PRBS
pattern has a 23 consecutive ones sequence for its start of frame pulse
sequence and a 215-1 PRBS pattern has a 15 consecutive ones sequence. If
the TSPF and RSPF pins are activated, the PRBS pattern will reset and
begin with a start of frame pulse sequence, which will be detected with minimum delay. Loss of frame occurs when 30 or more bits in a block of 1000
consecutive bits are in error.
For all word patterns and PRBS sequences, the clock counter maintains its
functionality during a LOF condition and the bit error counter is disabled.

Programmable Word, Byte 4: The XBERT provides four register locations
(02H, 03H, 04H, and 05H) for four bytes of programmable test word pattern.
The actual number of bytes that comprise the test word pattern (1-4) is
selected by bits 7-4 in the 00H register location. The word is transmitted with
byte 1 sent last. Bit 7 in each byte is its most significant bit and the first bit
transmitted. Bit 0 in byte 1 is the last bit transmitted in the test word
sequence. For example, the test sequence for a four-byte test word pattern
bounded by bits MSB and LSB is shown below:

Bit Error Counter: Register locations 06H, 07H, and 08H provide a total
count of the number of bit errors that have occurred for the three interface
modes. Multiple errors in a single nibble or byte are counted separately. The
counter is enabled after frame alignment occurs for the test pattern selected.
Bit 7 in address 06H is the most significant bit, while bit 0 in address 08H is
the least significant bit. The counter is non-saturating and will roll-over to
zero when it becomes full. To ensure that no counts are lost, all clock counter
registers plus all bit error counter registers must be read together in the following order: 09H, 0AH, 0BH, 06H, 07H, 08H. They will all be simultaneously
latched when register 08H is read last. If the counter registers are always
read in the same order, then no counts will be lost. The counter is cleared by
writing a one to bit 4 (RESETC) in address 01H, or through a global reset (bit
3 in address 00H).

Clock Counter: Register locations 09H, 0AH, and 0BH provide a total count
of the number of clock pulses that have been received. When XBERT is in
serial mode, the clock counter provides a count of the total number of
received data bits. When XBERT is in nibble-parallel or byte-parallel mode,
the clock counter indicates the number of received nibbles or bytes, respectively. The counter is enabled upon power-up. Events are counted even during a LOF condition. Bit 7 in address 09H is the most significant bit, while bit
0 in address 0BH is the least significant bit. The counter is non-saturating
and will roll-over to zero when it becomes full. It takes approximately 0.32
seconds for the counter to roll-over for a 51.84 Mbit/s bit-serial signal. To
ensure that no counts are lost, all clock counter registers plus all bit error
counter registers must be read together in the following order: 09H, 0AH,
0BH, 06H, 07H, 08H. They will all be simultaneously latched when register
08H is read last. If the counter registers are always read in the same order,
then no counts will be lost. The counter is cleared by writing a one to bit 4
(RESETC) in address 01H, or through a global reset (bit 3 in address 00H).
