compliant test access port (TAP) and 
controller for boundary scan test.
• Implemented in a low power 2.5/3.3 V 
CMOS technology.
• Available in a hi gh density 208-pin fin e 
pitch PBGA (17 mm by 17 mm) 
package.
• Provides a -40 °C to +85 °C industrial 
temperature operating range.
RECEIVER
• Typical signal recovery of up to -43 dB 
at 1024 kHz (E1) and up to -44 dB at 
772 kHz (T1/J1).
• Guaranteed minimum signal recovery 
of -32 dB at 1024 kHz (E1) and 
-36 dB at 772 kHz (T1/J1) using 
PIC-22 gauge cable emulation.
• Frames to DSX/DS-1 signals in SF, 
and ESF formats.
• Frames to ITU-T G.704 basic and 
CRC-4 multiframe formatted E1 
signals. The framing procedures are 
consistent with ITU-T G.706 
specifications.
• Frames to TTC JT-G704 multiframe 
formatted J1 signals. Supports the 
alternate CRC-6 calculation for 
Japanese applications. Frames in the 
presence of and detects the Japanese 
yellow alarm.
• Tolerates more than 0.4 UI peak-topeak, high frequency jitter as required 
by AT&T TR 62411 and Bellcore TRTSY-000170.
• Provides programmable in-band 
loopback activate and deactivate code 
detection.

 PM4354 COMET-QUAD
Four Channel Combined E1/T1/J1 Transceiver/Framer
• Provides diagnostic, line and per-DS0 
payload loopbacks.
• Extracts up to three HDLC links to an 
H-MVIP Bus to support the D-c ha nne l, 
for ISDN Primary Rate Interfaces, and 
the C-channels, for V5.1/V5.2 
interfaces. Detects the V5.2 link 
identification signal.
TRANSMITTER
• Generates DS X-1 shorthaul and DS-1 
longhaul pulses with programmable 
pulse shape compatible with AT&T, 
ANSI and ITU requirements.
• Generates E1 pulses compliant to 
G.703 recommendations.
• Provides line outputs that are current 
limited and may be tristated for 
protection or in redundant applications.
• Provides a digital phase locked loop 
for generation of a low jitter transmit 
clock complying with all jitter 
attenuation, jitter transfer and residual 
jitter specifications of AT&T TR 62411 
and ETSI CTR 12 and CTR 13.
• Provides a FIFO buffer for jitter 
attenuation and rate conversion in the 
transmit path.
• Supports unframed mode and framing 
bit, CRC, or data link by-pass.
• Allows insertion of framed or unframed 
in-band loopback code sequences.
• Allows insertion of a data link in ESF 
mode. Optionally inserts a datalink in 
the E1 national use bits.
• Inserts, from an H-MVIP bus, up to 
three HDLC links to support the Dchannel, for ISDN Primary Rate 
Interfaces, and the C-channels, for 
V5.1/V5.2 interfaces.
• Transmits TTC JT-G704 multiframe 
formatted J1 signals. Supports the 
alternate ESF CRC-6 calculation for 
Japanese applicati on s.
