shorthaul and lo nghaul network ac cess 
specifications, which include: 
ANSI T1.102, T1.403, T1.408, AT&T 
TR 62411, ITU-T G.703 and G.823, as 
well as the newer G.775 and 
ETSI 300-011 specifications.
• Supports B8ZS, HDB3, and AMI line 
codes.
• Provides receive clock recovery and 
line performance monitoring.
• Provides on-board binary sequence 
generators and detectors that can be 
configured with various patterns for 
error testing, including those 
conforming to ITU-T 0.151.
• Provides transmit and receive jitter 
attenuation.
• Provides three full-featured HDLC 
controllers, each with 128-byte 
transmit and receive FIFOs, enabling 
dual compliance to the V5.1 and V5.2 
interface standards.
• Supports an IEEE P1149.1 JTAG test 
port.
• Automatically generates DS1 
performance report messages to ANSI 
T1.231 and other specifications.
• Compatible with Mitel ST
, and MVIP PCM backplanes 
CHI 
supporting rates of 1.544 Mbit/s, 
2.048 Mbit/s, 4.096 Mbit/s and 
8.192 Mbit/s. 
• Provides an 8-bit microprocessor bus 
interface for config uration , contro l, a nd 
status monitoring.
• Low power +3.3 V CMOS technology.
• Available in an 80-pin PQFP (14 mm 
by 14 mm) and an 81-pin CABGA (9 
mm by 9 mm) package.
• Provides a -40 °C to +85 °C industrial 
temperature operating rang e.
-bus, AT&T 
RECEIVE
• Provides single-rail digital PCM and 
signaling outputs for 1.544 Mbit/s, 
2.048 Mbit/s, 4.096 Mbit/s, or 
8.192 Mbit/s backplane buses.
• Guaranteed signal recovery of up to 
-36 dB at 1024 kHz (E1) and 772 kHz 
(T1/J1) under production test 
conditions (VDD = 3.069 V, 25 °C)  
using PIC-22 gauge cable emulation.
• Frames to a G.704 E1 signal.
• Frames to a JT-G704 J1 signal.
• Frames to a DSX/DS-1 signal in D4, 
SF, ESF, or SLC
96 formats.
• Accommodates up to 0.4 UI peak-to peak, high frequency jitter as required 
by AT&T TR 62411.
• Supports line and path performance 
monitoring to AT&T and ANSI 
specifications and ITU-T 
recommendations.
• Detects both programmable in-band 
loopback activate and deactivate code 
sequences receiv ed in the DS 1/E1  
data stream.

TRANSMIT
• Supports transfer of transmitted PCM 
and signaling data from 1.544 Mbit/s, 
2.048 Mbit/s, 4.096 Mbit/s, or 
8.192 Mbit/s backplane buses.
• Supports tristate line outputs.
• Generates DSX-1 T1 shorthaul- and 
T1 longhaul-compatible pulses with 
programmable pulse shape to AT&T 
and ANSI specifications and ITU-T 
recommendations.
• Generates G.703 E1 pulses.
• Detects violations of the ANSI T1.403 
12.5% pulse density rule over a 
moving 192-bit window.
• Allows insertion of in-band loopback 
code sequences.
• Supports transmission of the Alarm 
Indication Signal (AIS) or the yellow 
alarm signal in all formats.
• Provides a FIFO for jitt er attenuatio n in 
the transmit path.
• Complies to all jitter attenuation, jitter 
transfer and residual jitter 
specifications required by AT&T T R 
62411 and ETSI TBR12/13.
