PM4354 COMET-QUAD
TRANSCEIVER / FRAMER
6 DESCRIPTION
The PM4354 Four Channel Combined E1/T1/J1 Transceiver and Framer (COMET-QUAD) is a
feature-rich monolithic integrated circuit suitable for use in long haul and short haul T1, J1 and E1
systems with a minimum of external circuitry. The COMET-QUAD is software configurable,
allowing feature selection without changes to external wiring.
Analog circuitry is provided to allow direct reception of long haul E1 and T1/J1 compatible signals
typically with up to 43 dB cable loss at 1024 kHz (E1) and up to 44 dB cable loss at 772 kHz
(T1/J1) using a minimum of external components. Typically, only line protection, a transformer
and a line termination resistor are required.
The COMET-QUAD recovers clock and data from the line and frames to incoming data. In T1
mode, it can frame to SF and ESF signal formats. In E1 mode, the COMET-QUAD frames to
basic G.704 E1 signals and CRC-4 multiframe alignment signals, and automatically performs the
G.706 interworking procedure. AMI, HDB3 and B8ZS line codes are supported.
The COMET-QUAD supports detection of various alarm conditions such as loss of signal, pulse
density violation, Red alarm, Yellow alarm, and AIS alarm in T1 mode and loss of signal, loss of
frame, loss of signaling multiframe and loss of CRC multiframe in E1 mode. The COMET-QUAD
also supports reception of remote alarm signal, remote multiframe alarm signal, and alarm
indication signal in E1 mode. The presence of Yellow and AIS patterns in T1 mode and remote
alarm and AIS patterns in E1 mode is detected and indicated. In T1 mode, the COMET-QUAD
integrates Yellow, Red, and AIS alarms as per industry specifications. In E1 mode, the COMETQUAD integrates Red and AIS alarms.
Performance monitoring with accumulation of CRC-6 errors, framing bit errors, line code
violations, and loss of frame events are provided in T1 mode. In E1 mode, CRC-4 errors, far end
block errors, framing bit errors, and line code violation are monitored and accumulated.
The COMET-QUAD provides one receive HDLC controller per channel for the detection and
termination of messages in the ESF facility data link (T1), national use bits (E1), or in any arbitrary
timeslot (T1 or E1). In T1 mode, the COMET-QUAD also detects the presence of in-band loop
back codes and ESF bit oriented codes. Detection and optional debouncing of the 4-bit Sa-bit
codewords defined in ITU-T G.704 and ETSI 300-233 is supported. An interrupt may be
generated on any change of state of the Sa codewords.
Dual (transmit and receive) elastic stores for slip buffering and rate adaptation to backplane timing
are provided, as is a signaling extractor that supports signaling debounce, signaling freezing, idle
code substitution, digital milliwatt tone substitution, data inversion, and signaling bit fixing on a perchannel basis. Receive side data and signaling trunk conditioning is also provided.
In T1 mode, the COMET-QUAD generates framing for SF and ESF formats. In E1 mode, the
COMET-QUAD generates framing for a basic G.704 E1 signal. The signaling multiframe

alignment structure and the CRC multiframe structure may be optionally inserted. Framing can be
optionally disabled.
Internal analog circuitry allows direct transmission of long haul and short haul T1 and E1
compatible signals using a minimum of external components. Typically, only line protection, a
transformer and an optional line termination resistor are required. Digitally programmable pulse
shaping allows transmission of DSX-1 compatible signals up to 655 feet from the cross-connect,
E1 short haul pulses into 120 ohm twisted pair or 75 ohm coaxial cable, E1 long haul pulses into
120 ohm twisted pair as well as long haul DS-1 pulses into 100 ohm twisted pair with integrated
support for LBO filtering as required by the FCC rules. In addition, the programmable pulse shape
extending over 5-bit periods allows customization of short haul and long haul line interface circuits
to application requirements.
In the transmit path, the COMET-QUAD supports signaling insertion, idle code substitution, digital
milliwatt tone substitution, data inversion, and zero code suppression on a per-channel basis.
Zero code suppression may be configured to Bell (bit 7), GTE, or DDS standards, and can also be
disabled. Transmit side data and signaling trunk conditioning is also provided. Signaling bit
transparency from the backplane may be enabled.
The COMET-QUAD provides one transmit HDLC controller per channel. These controllers may
be used for the transmission of messages in the ESF data link (T1), national use bits (E1), or in
any timeslot (T1 or E1). In T1 mode, the COMET-QUAD can be configured to generate in-band
loop back codes and ESF bit oriented codes. In E1 mode, transmission of the 4-bit Sa codewords
defined in ITU-T G.704 and ETSI 300-233 is supported.
To provide for V5 applications where up to three HDLC channels are contained in each E1, the
COMET-QUAD provides a CCS H-MVIP interface. This interface allows the HDLC channels to be
inserted or extracted for external processing.
Each channel of the COMET-QUAD can generate a low jitter transmit clock from a variety of clock
references, and also provides jitter attenuation in the receive path. A low jitter recovered T1 clock
can be routed outside the COMET-QUAD for network timing applications.
Serial PCM interfaces to each T1/E1 framer allow 1.544 Mbit/s or 2.048 Mbit/s backplane
receive/backplane transmit system interfaces to be directly supported. Tolerance of gapped
clocks allows other backplane rates to be supported with a minimum of external logic.
For synchronous backplane systems, 8.192 Mbit/s H-MVIP interfaces are provided for access to
PCM data, channel associated signaling (CAS) and common channel signaling (CCS) for each T1
or E1. The CCS signaling H-MVIP interface is independent of the 64 Kbit/s PCM and CAS H-MVIP
access. The use of the H-MVIP interface requires that common clocks and frame pulse be used
along with T1/E1 elastic stores.
The COMET-QUAD is configured, controlled and monitored via a generic 8-bit microprocessor
bus through which all internal registers are accessed. All sources of interrupts can be masked
and acknowledged through the microprocessor interface.

Backplane Receive Clocks (BRCLK[1:4]). The Backplane Receive Clock,
BRCLK[x], is used to update BRPCM[x] and BRSIG[x] and to either update o
sample BRFP[x], depending on the direction of BRFP[x]. The active edge of
BRCLK[x] for sampling/updating BRPCM[x], BRSIG[x], and BRFP[x] is
configurable.
In Receive Clock Master Mode, BRCLK[x] is configured as an output and can
be either a 1.544 MHz or 2.048 MHz clock derived from the recovered line
rate timing, with optional jitter attenuation.
When in Receive Clock Master: Nx64Kbit/s mode, BRCLK[x] is gapped
during the framing bit position (T1 mode only) and optionally for between 1
and 24 DS0 channels or 1 and 32 timeslots in the associated BRPCM[x]
stream.
When in Receive Clock Slave: Full T1/E1 mode, BRCLK[x] is configured as
an input and is either a 1.544MHz clock in T1 mode or a 2.048MHz clock in
T1 or E1 modes. BRCLK[x] is a nominal 1.544 or 2.048 MHz clock +/50ppm with a 50% duty cycle.
When in Receive Clock Slave: H-MVIP mode, BRCLK[x] is configured as an
input and is unused. In this mode, it is recommended that BRCLK[x] be
connected via an external resistor to ground.
After a reset, BRCLK[x] is configured as an input.

Backplane Receive Frame Pulse (BRFP[1:4]). When the Receive Clock
Master mode is active, BRFP[x] is configured as an output and indicates the
frame alignment or the superframe alignment of the backplane receive
stream, BRPCM[x]. BRFP[x] is updated on the active edge of BRCLK[x].
Receive Clock Master T1 mode:
If basic frame alignment is desired, BRFP[x] pulses high for one BRCLK[x]
cycle during bit 1 of each 193-bit frame. Optionally, BRFP[x] may pulse high
every second frame to ease the identification of data link bits. If superframe
alignment is desired, BRFP[x] pulses high for one BRCLK[x] cycle during bit
1 of frame 1 of every 12-frame or 24-frame superframe. Optionally, BRFP[x]
may pulse high every second superframe to ease the conversion between SF
and ESF.
Receive Clock Master E1 mode:
If basic frame alignment is desired, BRFP[x] pulses high for one BRCLK[x]
cycle during bit 1 of each 256-bit frame. Optionally, BRFP[x] may pulse high
every second frame to ease the identification of NFAS frames. If multiframe
alignment is desired, BRFP[x] transitions high to mark bit 1 of frame 1 of
every 16-frame signaling multiframe and transitions low following bit 1 of
frame 1 of every 16-frame CRC multiframe. Note that if the signaling and
CRC multiframe alignments are coincident, BRFP[x] pulses high for one
BRCLK[x] cycle every 16 frames.
Receive Clock Slave mode:
When the elastic store is enabled (and Clock Slave mode is active on the
backplane receive side), BRFP[x] is configured as an input and is used to
frame align the backplane receive data to the system frame alignment.
When frame alignment is required, a pulse at least 1 BRCLK[x] cycle wide
must be provided on BRFP[x] a maximum of once every frame (193 bit times
in T1, 256 bit times in E1). BRFP[x] is sampled on the active edge of
BRCLK[x].
When in the Receive Clock Master: Clear Channel or Receive Clock Slave:
H-MVIP mode, BRFP[x] is unused and it is recommended that BRFP[x] be
configured as an input and be connected via an external resistor to ground.
After a reset, BRFP[x] is configured as an input.

Backplane Receive Data (BRPCM[1:4]). Each BRPCM[x] signal contains
the recovered data stream that may have been passed through the elastic
store.
When a Clock Slave backplane receive mode is active, the BRPCM[x]
stream has passed through the elastic store and is aligned to the backplane
receive timing.
When in T1 Receive Clock Slave mode with BRCLK[x] configured as a
2.048MHz clock, the mapping of the BRPCM[x] data stream is configurable.
In Receive Clock Slave: H-MVIP mode, BRPCM[2], BRPCM[3], and
BRPCM[4] are unused and driven low. BRPCM[1] shares the same pin as the
H-MVIP CAS signal CASBRD. In Receive Clock Slave: H-MVIP mode, the
output becomes CASBRD. Out of reset, this output defaults to BRPCM[1].
When in Receive Clock Master: Clear Channel mode, the unframed
backplane receive data appears on BRPCM[x] with no frame alignment or
signaling.
BRPCM[x] is updated on the active edge of BRCLK[x].

configured in the BTIF Configuration register.
When a Transmit Clock Master mode is active, BTCLK[x] is an output and is
a version of the transmit clock[x] which is generated from the receive
recovered clock or the common transmit clock, CTCLK.
When in T1 Transmit Clock Master: Nx64Kbit/s mode, BTCLK[x] is gapped
during the framing bit position and optionally for between 1 and 23 DS0
channels in the associated BTPCM[x] stream. When in E1 Transmit Clock
Master: Nx64Kbit/s mode, BTCLK[x] is gapped for between 1 and 31 channel
timeslots in the associated BTPCM[x] stream.
When in Transmit Clock Master: Clear Channel mode, the unframed
backplane transmit data is sampled on BTPCM[x] with no frame alignment or
signaling.
When in a Transmit Clock Slave mode, BTCLK[x] is configured as an input
and is used to time the backplane transmit interface. BTCLK[x] is either a

Backplane Transmit Frame Pulse (BTFP[1:4]). When BTFP[x] is
configured as an input, and may be used to frame align the transmitters to
the system backplane.
T1 mode:
If only frame alignment is required, a pulse at least one BTCLK[x] cycle wide
must be provided on BTFP[x] at multiples of 193 bit periods. If superframe
alignment is required, transmit superframe alignment must be enabled, and
BTFP[x] must be brought high for at least one BTCLK[x] cycle to mark bit 1
of frame 1 of every 12-frame or 24-frame superframe.
E1 mode:
If basic frame alignment only is required, a pulse at least one BTCLK[x] cycle
wide must be provided on BTFP[x] at multiples of 256 bit periods. If
multiframe alignment is required, transmit multiframe alignment must be
enabled, and BTFP[x] must be brought high to mark bit 1 of frame 1 of every
16-frame signaling multiframe and brought low following bit 1 of frame 1 of
every 16-frame CRC multiframe. This mode allows both multiframe
alignments to be independently controlled using the single BTFP[x] signal.
Note that if the signaling and CRC multiframe alignments are coincident,
BTFP[x] must pulse high for one BTCLK[x] cycle every 16 frames.
When BTFP[x] is configured as an output (only valid when the transmit
backplane clock rate is no greater than 2.048 MHz), transmit frame
alignment is derived internally, and BTFP[x] is updated on the active edge of
BTCLK[x]. BTFP[x] pulses high for one cycle to indicate the first bit of each
frame or multiframe, as optioned.
When in Transmit Clock Slave: H-MVIP mode, BTFP[x] is configured as an

signal carries the channels of four complete T1’s or E1’s. MVBRD carries the
T1 or E1 data equivalent to BRPCM[1:4].
MVBRD is aligned to the common H-MVIP 16.384 MHz clock, CMV8MCLK,
frame pulse clock, CMVFPC, and frame pulse, CMVFPB. MVBRD is updated
on every second rising edge of the common H-MVIP 16.384 MHz clock,
CMV8MCLK, as fixed by the common H-MVIP frame pulse clock, CMVFPC.
Common Channel Signaling Backplane Receive Data (CCSBRD). In T1
mode, CCSBRD carries the Common Channel Signaling (CCS) channels
extracted from each of the 4 T1’s. In E1 mode, CCSBRD carries up to 3
timeslots (15,16, 31) from each of the 4 E1’s. CCSBRD is formatted

Common H-MVIP Frame Pulse Clock (CMVFPC). The common H-MVIP
frame pulse clock provides the frame pulse clock for operation with 8.192
Mbit/s H-MVIP access.
CMVFPC is used to sample CMVFPB. CMVFPC is nominally a 50% duty
cycle clock with a frequency of 4.096 MHz. The falling edge of CMVFPC
must be aligned with the falling edge of CMV8MCLK with no more than
±10ns skew.
The Transmitter and Receiver streams are independently enabled for HMVIP access. When H-MVIP access is enabled, all four Transmitter (or
Receiver) streams are enabled for H-MVIP access. When both the
Transmitter and the Receiver H-MVIP accesses are disabled, CMVFPC is
unused.
Transmit Analog Positive Pulse (TXTIP1[1:4] and TXTIP2[1:4]). When
the transmit analog line interface is enabled, the TXTIP1[x] and TXTIP2[x]
analog outputs drive the transmit line pulse signal through an external
matching transformer. Both TXTIP1[x] and TXTIP2[x] are normally
connected to the positive lead of the transformer primary. Two outputs are
provided for better signal integrity and must be shorted together on the
board.
After a reset, TXTIP1[x] and TXTIP2[x] are high impedance. The HIGHZ bit
of the quadrant’s XLPG Line Driver Configuration register (addresses 0F0H,

XCLKInputJ13
Transmit Common Mode (TXCM[1:4]). This pin is the common mode for
the Transmit analog. It requires a 4.7µF capacitor to analog ground and two
12.7Ω resistors to the corresponding TXRING and TXTIP.
Receive Analog Positive Pulse (RXTIP[1:4]). When the analog receive
line interface is enabled, RXTIP[x] samples the received line pulse signal
from an external isolation transformer. RXTIP[x] is normally connected
directly to the positive lead of the receive transformer secondary.
Receive Voltage Reference (RVREF[1:4]). This pin must be connected to
an external RC network consisting of a 100 kΩ resistor connected in parallel
with a 10 nF capacitor to analog ground.
Receive Analog Negative Pulse (RXRING[1:4]). When the analog receive
line interface is enabled, RXRING[x] samples the received line pulse signal
from an external isolation transformer. RXRING[x] is normally connected
directly to the negative lead of the receive transformer secondary.
Crystal Clock Input (XCLK). This signal provides a stable, global timing
reference for the COMET-QUAD internal circuitry via an internal clock
synthesizer. XCLK is a nominally jitter free clock at 1.544 MHz in T1 mode
and 2.048 MHz in E1 mode.
In T1 mode, a 2.048 MHz clock may be used as a reference. When used in
this way, however, the intrinsic jitter specifications to AT&T TR62411 may not
be met.
CTCLKInputL16
Common Transmit Clock (CTCLK). This input signal can be used as a
reference for the transmit line rate generation. CTCLK may be any multiple of
8 kHz (N x 8 kHz, where 1≤N≤256) so long as CTCLK has minimal jitter
when divided down to 8 kHz. When the CTCLK frequency differs from the
transmit line rate, the transmit jitter attenuation block (TJAT) must be enabled
to synthesize and jitter attenuate the transmit clock. When the CTCLK
frequency is the same as the transmit line rate, CTCLK is optionally jitter
attenuated by the TJAT. When CTCLK jitter attenuation is enabled, the
CTCLK frequency should be programmed into the TJAT Jitter Attenuation
Divider N1 Control register.
The COMET-QUAD may be configured to ignore the CTCLK input and utilize
the Receive recovered clock or the backplane transmit clock.

Recovered Clock Synchronization Signal (RSYNC). This output signal is
the jitter attenuated recovered receiver line rate clock (1.544 or 2.048 MHz)
of one of the four T1 or E1 channels or, optionally, the jitter attenuated
recovered clock synchronously divided by 193 (T1 mode) or 256 (E1 mode)
to create a 8 kHz timing reference signal. When 8 kHz, the RSYNC phase is
independent of frame alignment and is not affected by framing events. The
default is to source RSYNC from quadrant #1. The RJATBYP register bit has
no effect on RSYNC.
When the COMET-QUAD is in a loss of signal state, RSYNC is derived from
the XCLK input or, optionally, is held high.
Programmable I/O (PIO). PIO is an input/output pin controlled by a
COMET-QUAD register bit. When configured as an output, the PIO pin can,
under software control, be used to configure external circuitry. When
configured as an input, a COMET-QUAD register bit reflects the state of the
PIO pin.

Analog Test Bus (ATB[1:2]). Reserved for COMET-QUAD production test.
This pin must be connected to an analog ground for normal operation.
Address Bus (A[10:0]). This bus selects specific registers during COMETQUAD register accesses.
Active Low Read Enable (RDB). This signal is low during COMET-QUAD
register read accesses. The COMET-QUAD drives the D[7:0] bus with the
contents of the addressed register while RDB and CSB are low.
Active Low Write Strobe (WRB). This signal is low during a COMET-QUAD
register write access. The D[7:0] bus contents are clocked into the
addressed register on the rising WRB edge while CSB is low.
Active Low Chip Select (CSB). CSB must be low to enable COMET-QUAD
register accesses. CSB must go high at least once after power up to clear
internal test modes. If CSB is not used, it should be tied to an inverted
version of RSTB, in which case, RDB and W RB determine register
accesses. To ensure normal operation, the RSTB pin should be driven low
and the CSB pin driven high concurrently following power up.
ALEInputE14
Address Latch Enable (ALE). This signal is active high and latches the
address bus contents, A[10:0], when low. When ALE is high, the internal
address latches are transparent. ALE allows the COMET-QUAD to interface
to a multiplexed address/data bus. The ALE input has an internal pull up
resistor.
INTBOutputODF15
Active low Open-Drain Interrupt (INTB). This signal goes low when an
unmasked interrupt event is detected on any of the internal interrupt sources.
Note that INTB will remain low until all active, unmasked interrupt sources
are acknowledged at their source at which time, INTB will tristate.
RSTBInputE13
Active Low Reset (RSTB). This signal provides an asynchronous COMETQUAD reset. RSTB is a Schmidt triggered input with an internal pull up
resistor.

9 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
9.1 Quadrants
The COMET-QUAD’s four E1/T1 transceivers/framers operate independently and can be
configured to operate uniquely. The COMET-QUAD transceiver/framers (or quadrants) do share a
common XCLK crystal clock input and internal clock synthesizer; hence a single CSU
Configuration register is present and all quadrants share a common E1/T1B mode register bit.
When an H-MVIP interface is enabled, the interface interacts with all four quadrants, and hence
some common settings are required.
9.2 Receive Interface
The analog receive interface is configurable to operate in both E1 and T1 short-haul and long-haul
applications. Short-haul T1 is defined as transmission over less than 655 ft of cable. Short-haul
E1 is defined as transmission on any cable that attenuates the signal by less than 6 dB.
For long-haul signals, unequalized long- or short-haul bipolar alternate mark inversion (AMI)
signals are received as the differential voltage between the RXTIP and RXRING inputs. The
COMET-QUAD typically accepts unequalized signals that are attenuated for both T1 and E1
signals and are non-linearly distorted by typical cables.
For short-haul, the slicing threshold is set to a fraction of the input signal’s peak amplitude, and
adapts to changes in this amplitude. The slicing threshold is programmable, but is typically 67%
and 50% for DSX-1 and E1 applications, respectively. Abnormally low input signals are detected
when the input level is below a programmable threshold, which is typically 140 mV for E1 and
105 mV for T1.

9.3 Clock and Data Recovery (CDRC)
The Clock and Data Recovery function is provided by the Clock and Data Recovery (CDRC)
block. The CDRC provides clock and PCM data recovery, B8ZS and HDB3 decoding, line code
violation detection, and loss of signal detection. It recovers the clock from the incoming RZ data
pulses using a digital phase-locked-loop and reconstructs the NRZ data. Loss of signal is
indicated after a programmable threshold of consecutive bit periods of the absence of pulses on
both the positive and negative line pulse inputs and is cleared after the occurrence of a single line
pulse. An alternate loss of signal indication is provided which is cleared upon meeting an 1-in-8
pulse density criteria for T1 and a 1-in-4 pulse density criteria for E1. If enabled, a microprocessor
interrupt is generated when a loss of signal is detected and when the signal returns. A line code
violation is defined as a bipolar violation (BPV) for AMI-coded signals, is defined as a BPV that is
not part of a zero substitution code for B8ZS-coded signals, and is defined as a bipolar violation of
the same polarity as the last bipolar violation for HDB3-coded signals.
In T1 mode, the input jitter tolerance of the COMET-QUAD complies with the Bellcore Document
TA-TSY-000170 and with the AT&T specification TR62411, as shown in Figure 6. The tolerance is
measured with a QRSS sequence (2
20
-1 with 14 zero restriction). The CDRC block provides two
algorithms for clock recovery that result in differing jitter tolerance characteristics. The first
algorithm (when the ALGSEL register bit is logic 0) provides good low frequency jitter tolerance,
but the high frequency tolerance is close to the TR62411 limit. The second algorithm (when
ALGSEL is logic 1) provides much better high frequency jitter tolerance at the expense of the low

9.5 T1 Inband Loopback Code Detector (IBCD)
The T1 Inband Loopback Code Detection function is provided by the IBCD block. This block
detects the presence of either of two programmable INBAND LOOPBACK ACTIVATE and
DEACTIVATE code sequences in either framed or unframed data streams. Each INBAND
LOOPBACK code sequence is defined as the repetition of the programmed code in the PCM
stream for at least 5.1 seconds. The code sequence detection and timing is compatible with the
specifications defined in T1.403-1993, TA-TSY-000312, and TR-TSY-000303. LOOPBACK
ACTIVATE and DEACTIVATE code indication is provided through internal register bits. An
interrupt is generated to indicate when either code status has changed.
9.6 T1 Pulse Density Violation Detector (PDVD)
The Pulse Density Violation Detection function is provided by the PDVD block. The block detects
pulse density violations of the requirement that there be N ones in each and every time window of
8(N+1) data bits (where N can equal 1 through 23). The PDVD also detects periods of 16
consecutive zeros in the incoming data. Pulse density violation detection is provided through an
internal register bit. An interrupt is generated to signal a 16 consecutive zero event, and/or a
change of state on the pulse density violation indication.
9.7 T1 Framer (T1-FRMR)
The T1 framing function is provided by the T1-FRMR block. This block searches for the framing
bit position in the backplane receive stream. It works in conjunction with the FRAM block to
search for the framing bit pattern in the standard superframe (SF), or extended superframe (ESF)
framing formats. When searching for frame, the FRMR simultaneously examines each of the 193
(SF) or each of the 772 (ESF) framing bit candidates. The FRAM block is addressed and
controlled by the FRMR while frame synchronization is acquired.
The time required to acquire frame alignment to an error-free backplane receive stream,
containing randomly distributed channel data (i.e. each bit in the channel data has a 50%
probability of being 1 or 0), is dependent upon the framing format. For SF format, the T1-FRMR
block will determine frame alignment within 4.4 ms 99 times out of 100. For ESF format, the T1FRMR will determine frame alignment within 15 ms 99 times out of 100.
Once the T1-FRMR has found frame, the backplane receive data is continuously monitored for
framing bit errors, bit error events (a framing bit error in SF or a CRC-6 error in ESF), and
severely errored framing events. The T1-FRMR also detects out of frame, based on a selectable
ratio of framing bit errors.
The T1-FRMR can also be disabled to allow reception of unframed data.

9.8 E1 Framer (E1-FRMR)
The E1 framing function is provided by the E1-FRMR block. The E1-FRMR block searches for
basic frame alignment, CRC multiframe alignment, and channel associated signaling (CAS)
multiframe alignment in the incoming recovered PCM stream.
Once the E1-FRMR has found basic (or FAS) frame alignment, the incoming PCM data stream is
continuously monitored for FAS/NFAS framing bit errors. Framing bit errors are accumulated in
the framing bit error counter contained in the PMON block. Once the E1-FRMR has found CRC
multiframe alignment, the PCM data stream is continuously monitored for CRC multiframe
alignment pattern errors, and CRC-4 errors. CRC-4 errors are accumulated in the CRC error
counter of the PMON block. Once the E1-FRMR has found CAS multiframe alignment, the PCM
data is continuously monitored for CAS multiframe alignment pattern errors. The E1-FRMR also
detects and indicates loss of basic frame, loss of CRC multiframe, and loss of CAS multiframe,
based on user-selectable criteria. The reframe operation can be initiated by software (via the
E1-FRMR Frame Alignment Options register), by excessive CRC errors, or when CRC multiframe
alignment is found by the offline framer. The E1-FRMR also identifies the position of the frame,
the CAS multiframe, and the CRC multiframe.
The E1-FRMR extracts the contents of the International bits (from both the FAS frames and the
NFAS frames), the National bits, and the Extra bits (from timeslot 16 of frame 0 of the CAS
multiframe), and stores them in the E1-FRMR International/National Bits register and the
E1-FRMR Extra Bits register. Moreover, the E1-FRMR also extracts submultiframe-aligned 4-bit
codewords from each of the National bit positions Sa4 to Sa8, and stores them in microprocessoraccessible registers that are updated every CRC submultiframe.
The E1-FRMR identifies the raw bit values for the Remote (or distant frame) Alarm (bit 3 in
timeslot 0 of NFAS frames) and the Remote Signaling Multiframe (or distant multiframe) Alarm (bit
6 of timeslot 16 of frame 0 of the CAS multiframe) via the E1-FRMR International/National Bits
Register, and the E1-FRMR Extra Bits Register respectively. Access is also provided to the
"debounced" remote alarm and remote signaling multiframe alarm bits which are set when the
corresponding signals have been a logic 1 for 2 or 3 consecutive occurrences, as per
Recommendation O.162. Detection of AIS and timeslot 16 AIS are provided. AIS is also
integrated, and an AIS Alarm is indicated if the AIS condition has persisted for at least 100 ms.
The out of frame (OOF=1) condition is also integrated, indicating a Red Alarm if the OOF
condition has persisted for at least 100 ms.
An interrupt may be generated to signal a change in the state of any status bits (OOF, OOSMF,
OOCMF, AIS or RED), and to signal when any event (RAI, RMAI, AISD, TS16AISD, COFA, FER,
SMFER, CMFER, CRCE or FEBE) has occurred. Additionally, interrupts may be generated every
frame, CRC submultiframe, CRC multiframe or signaling multiframe.
Basic Frame Alignment Procedure
The E1-FRMR searches for basic frame alignment using the algorithm defined in ITU-T
Recommendation G.706 sections 4.1.2 and 4.2.

The algorithm finds frame alignment by using the following sequence:
1. Search for the presence of the correct 7-bit FAS (‘0011011’);
2. Check that the FAS is absent in the following frame by verifying that bit 2 of the assumed nonframe alignment sequence (NFAS) TS 0 byte is a logic 1;
3. Check that the correct 7-bit FAS is present in the assumed TS 0 byte of the next frame.
If either of the conditions in steps 2 or 3 are not met, a new search for frame alignment is initiated
in the bit immediately following the second 7-bit FAS sequence check. This "hold-off" is done to
ensure that new frame alignment searches are done in the next bit position, modulo 512. This
facilitates the discovery of the correct frame alignment, even in the presence of fixed timeslot data
imitating the FAS.
These algorithms provide robust framing operation even in the presence of random bit errors:
framing with algorithm #1 or #2 provides a 99.98% probability of finding frame alignment within
1 ms in the presence of 10-3 bit error rate and no mimic patterns.
Once frame alignment is found, the block sets the OOF indication low, indicates a change of
frame alignment (if it occurred), and monitors the frame alignment signal, indicating errors
occurring in the 7-bit FAS pattern and in bit 2 of NFAS frames, and indicating the debounced value
of the Remote Alarm bit (bit 3 of NFAS frames). Using debounce, the Remote Alarm bit has
<0.00001% probability of being falsely indicated in the presence of a 10-3 bit error rate. The block
declares loss of frame alignment if 3 consecutive FAS's have been received in error or,
additionally, if bit 2 of NFAS frames has been in error for 3 consecutive occasions. In the
presence of a random 10-3 bit error rate the frame loss criteria provides a mean time to falsely
lose frame alignment of >12 minutes.
The E1-FRMR can be forced to initiate a basic frame search at any time when any of the following
conditions are met:
• the software re-frame bit in the E1-FRMR Frame Alignment Options register goes to logic 1;
• the CRC Frame Find Block is unable to find CRC multiframe alignment; or
in 1 second) and is enabled to force a re-frame under that condition.
CRC Multiframe Alignment Procedure
The E1-FRMR searches for CRC multiframe alignment by observing whether the International bits
(bit 1 of TS 0) of NFAS frames follow the CRC multiframe alignment pattern. Multiframe
alignment is declared if at least two valid CRC multiframe alignment signals are observed within
8 ms, with the time separating two alignment signals being a multiple of 2 ms

Once CRC multiframe alignment is found, the OOCMFV register bit is set to logic 0, and the
E1-FRMR monitors the multiframe alignment signal, indicating errors occurring in the 6-bit MFAS
pattern, errors occurring in the received CRC and the value of the FEBE bits (bit 1 of frames 13
and 15 of the multiframe). The E1-FRMR declares loss of CRC multiframe alignment if basic
frame alignment is lost. However, once CRC multiframe alignment is found, it cannot be lost due
to errors in the 6-bit MFAS pattern.
Under the CRC-to-non-CRC interworking algorithm, if the E1-FRMR can achieve basic frame
alignment with respect to the incoming PCM data stream, but is unable to achieve CRC-4
multiframe alignment within the subsequent 400 ms, the distant end is assumed to be a non CRC4 interface. The details of this algorithm are illustrated in the state diagram in Figure 8.

The states of the primary basic framer and the parallel/offline framer in the E1-FRMR block at
each stage of the CRC multiframe alignment algorithm are shown in Table 3.
From an out of frame state, the E1-FRMR attempts to find basic frame alignment in accordance
with the FAS/NFAS/FAS G.706 Basic Frame Alignment procedure outlined above. Upon achieving
basic frame alignment, a 400 ms timer is started, as well as an 8 ms timer. If two CRC multiframe
alignment signals separated by a multiple of 2 ms are observed before the 8 ms timer has
expired, CRC multiframe alignment is declared.
If the 8 ms timer expires without achieving multiframe alignment, a new offline search for basic
frame alignment is initiated. This search is performed in accordance with the Basic Frame
Alignment procedure outlined above. However, this search does not immediately change the
actual basic frame alignment of the system (i.e., PCM data continues to be processed in
accordance with the first basic frame alignment found after an out of frame state while this frame
alignment search occurs as a parallel operation).
When a new basic frame alignment is found by this offline search, the 8 ms timer is restarted. If
two CRC multiframe alignment signals separated by a multiple of 2 ms are observed before the
8 ms timer has expired, CRC multiframe alignment is declared and the basic frame alignment is
set accordingly (i.e., the basic frame alignment is set to correspond to the frame alignment found
by the parallel offline search, which is also the basic frame alignment corresponding to the newly
found CRC multiframe alignment).
Subsequent expirations of the 8 ms timer will likewise reinitiate a new search for basic frame
alignment. If, however, the 400 ms timer expires at any time during this procedure, the E1-FRMR
stops searching for CRC multiframe alignment and declares CRC-to-non-CRC interworking. In
this mode, the E1-FRMR may be optionally set to either halt searching for CRC multiframe
altogether, or may continue searching for CRC multiframe alignment using the established basic
frame alignment. In either case, no further adjustments are made to the basic frame alignment,
and no offline searches for basic frame alignment occur once CRC-to-non-CRC interworking is
declared: it is assumed that the established basic frame alignment at this point is correct.

AIS Detection
When an unframed all-ones receive data stream is received, an AIS defect is indicated by setting
the AISD bit of the E1-FRMR Maintenance/Alarm Status register to logic 1 when fewer than three
zero bits are received in 512 consecutive bits or, optionally, in each of two consecutive periods of
512 bits. The AISD bit is reset to logic 0 when three or more zeros in 512 consecutive bits or in
each of two consecutive periods of 512 bits. Finding frame alignment will also cause the AISD bit
to be set to logic 0.
Signaling Frame Alignment
Once the basic frame alignment has been found, the E1-FRMR searches for Channel Associated
Signaling (CAS) multiframe alignment using the following G.732 compliant algorithm: signaling
multiframe alignment is declared when at least one non-zero timeslot 16 bit is observed to
precede a timeslot 16 containing the correct CAS alignment pattern, namely four zeros (“0000”) in
the first four bit positions of timeslot 16.
Once signaling multiframe alignment has been found, the E1-FRMR sets the OOSMFV bit of the
E1-FRMR Framing Status register to logic 0, and monitors the signaling multiframe alignment
signal, indicating errors occurring in the 4-bit pattern, and indicating the debounced value of the
Remote Signaling Multiframe Alarm bit (bit 6 of timeslot 16 of frame 0 of the multiframe). Using
debounce, the Remote Signaling Multiframe Alarm bit has < 0.00001% probability of being falsely
indicated in the presence of a 10-3 bit error rate.
This E1-FRMR also indicates the reception of TS 16 AIS when timeslot 16 has been received with
three or fewer zeros in each of two consecutive multiframe periods. The TS16AIS signal is
cleared when each of two consecutive signaling multiframe periods contain four or more zeros OR
when the signaling multiframe signal is found.
The block declares loss of CAS multiframe alignment if two consecutive CAS multiframe
alignment signals have been received in error, or additionally, if all the bits in timeslot 16 are
logic 0 for 1 or 2 (selectable) CAS multiframes. Loss of CAS multiframe alignment is also
declared if basic frame alignment has been lost.
National Bit Extraction
The E1-FRMR extracts and assembles the submultiframe-aligned National bit codewords
Sa4[1:4], Sa5[1:4], Sa6[1:4], Sa7[1:4] and Sa8[1:4]. The corresponding register values are
updated upon generation of the CRC submultiframe interrupt.
This E1-FRMR also detects the V5.2 link ID signal, which is detected when 2 out of 3 Sa7 bits are
zeros. Upon reception of this Link ID signal, the V52LINKV bit of the E1-FRMR Framing Status
register is set to logic 1. This bit is cleared to logic 0 when 2 out of 3 Sa7 bits are ones.

Alarm Integration
The OOF and the AIS defects are integrated, verifying that each condition has persisted for
104 ms (± 6 ms) before indicating the alarm condition. The alarm is removed when the condition
has been absent for 104 ms (± 6 ms).
The AIS alarm algorithm accumulates the occurrences of AISD (AIS detection). The E1-FRMR
counts the occurrences of AISD over a 4 ms interval and indicates a valid AIS is present when 13
or more AISD indications (of a possible 16) have been received. Each interval with a valid AIS
presence indication increments an interval counter which declares AIS Alarm when 25 valid
intervals have been accumulated. An interval with no valid AIS presence indication decrements
the interval counter. The AIS Alarm declaration is removed when the counter reaches 0. This
algorithm provides a 99.8% probability of declaring an AIS Alarm within 104 ms in the presence of
a 10-3 mean bit error rate.
The Red alarm algorithm monitors occurrences of OOF over a 4 ms interval, indicating a valid
OOF interval when one or more OOF indications occurred during the interval, and indicating a
valid in frame (INF) interval when no OOF indication occurred for the entire interval. Each interval
with a valid OOF indication increments an interval counter which declares Red Alarm when 25
valid intervals have been accumulated. An interval with valid INF indication decrements the
interval counter; the Red Alarm declaration is removed when the counter reaches 0. This
algorithm biases OOF occurrences, leading to declaration of Red alarm when intermittent loss of
frame alignment occurs.
The E1-FRMR can also be disabled to allow reception of unframed data.
9.9 Receive Elastic Store (RX-ELST)
The Elastic Store (ELST) synchronizes backplane receive frames to the backplane receive clock
and frame pulse (BRCLK[x], BRFP[x]) in the Clock Slave backplane receive modes or to the
common backplane receive H-MVIP clock and frame pulse (CMV8MCLK, CMVFP, CMVFPC) in
H-MVIP modes. The frame data is buffered in a two frame circular data buffer. Input data is
written to the buffer using a write pointer and output data is read from the buffer using a read
pointer.
When the elastic store is being used, if the average frequency of the incoming data is greater than
the average frequency of the backplane clock, the write pointer will catch up to the read pointer
and the buffer will be filled. Under this condition a controlled slip will occur when the read pointer
crosses the next frame boundary. The subsequent backplane receive frame is deleted.
If the average frequency of the incoming data is less than the average frequency of the backplane
clock, the read pointer will catch up to the write pointer and the buffer will be empty. Under this
condition a controlled slip will occur when the read pointer crosses the next frame boundary. The
previous backplane receive frame is repeated.
A slip operation is always performed on a frame boundary.

When the backplane receive timing is recovered from the receive data the elastic store can be
bypassed to eliminate the one frame delay. In this configuration (the Clock Master backplane
receive modes), the elastic store is used to synchronize the backplane receive frames to the
transmit line clock so that per-DS0 loopbacks may be enabled.
To allow for the extraction of signaling information in the data channels, superframe identification
is also passed through the ELST.
For payload conditioning, the ELST may optionally insert a programmable idle code into all
channels when the framer is out of frame synchronization. This code is set to all 1’s when the
ELST is reset.
9.10 Signaling Extractor (SIGX)
The Signaling Extraction (SIGX) block provides channel associated signaling (CAS) extraction
from an E1 signaling multi-frame or from ESF or SF T1 formats. It selectively debounces the bits,
and serializes the results onto the BRSIG[x] or CASBRD outputs. Debouncing is performed on
individual signaling bits. This BRSIG[x] (CASBRD) output is channel aligned with BRPCM[x]
(MVBRD) output, and the signaling bits are repeated for the entire multiframe/superframe,
allowing downstream logic to reinsert signaling into any frame, as determined by system timing.
The signaling data stream contains the A,B,C,D bits in the lower 4 channel bit locations (bits 5, 6,
7 and 8) in T1 ESF or E1 framing formats; in T1 SF format the A and B bits are repeated in
locations C and D (i.e. the signaling stream contains the bits ABAB for each channel).
The SIGX block contains three superframes worth of signal buffering to ensure that there is a
greater than 95% probability that the signaling bits are frozen in the correct state for a 50% ones
density out of frame condition, as specified in TR-TSY-000170 and BELL PUB 43801. With
signaling debounce enabled, the per-channel signaling state must be in the same state for 2
superframes before appearing on the serial output stream.
The SIGX block provides one superframe or signaling-multiframe of signal freezing on the
occurrence of slips. When a slip event occurs, the SIGX freezes the output signaling for the entire
superframe in which the slip occurred; the signaling is unfrozen when the next slip-free
superframe occurs.
The SIGX also provides control over timeslot signaling bit fixing, data inversion and signaling
debounce on a per-timeslot basis.
The SIGX block also provides an interrupt to indicate a change of signaling state on a per channel
basis.
9.11 Performance Monitor Counters (T1/E1-PMON)

events, or optionally, Change of Frame Alignment (COFA) events with saturating counters over

consecutive intervals as defined by the period of the supplied transfer clock signal (typically 1
second). When the transfer clock signal is applied, the PMON transfers the counter values into
holding registers and resets the counters to begin accumulating events for the interval. The
counters are reset in such a manner that error events occurring during the reset are not missed.
If the holding registers are not read between successive transfer clocks, an OVR overrun register
bit is asserted.
Generation of the transfer clock within a quadrant is performed by writing to any counter register
location within the quadrant or by writing to the Revision/Chip ID/Quadrant PMON Update register.
The holding register addresses are contiguous to facilitate faster polling operations.
In compliance with the ANSI T1.231, T1.403 and T1.408 standards, a performance report is
generated each second for T1 ESF applications. The report conforms to the HDLC protocol and
is inserted into the ESF facility data link.
The performance report can only be transmitted if the TDPR is configured to insert the ESF
Facility Data Link and the PREN bit of the TDPR Configuration register is logic 1. The
performance report takes precedence over incompletely written packets, but it does not pre-empt
packets already being transmitted.
See the Operation section for details on the performance report encoding.
9.13 T1 Alarm Integrator (ALMI)
The T1 Alarm Integration function is provided by the ALMI block. This block detects the presence
of Yellow, Red, and AIS Carrier Fail Alarms (CFA) in SF, or ESF formats. The alarm detection and
integration is compatible with the specifications defined in ANSI T1.403 and TR-TSY-000191.
The ALMI block declares the presence of Yellow alarm when the Yellow pattern has been received
for 425 ms (± 50 ms); the Yellow alarm is removed when the Yellow pattern has been absent for
425 ms (± 50 ms). The presence of Red alarm is declared when an out of frame condition has
been present for 2.55 sec (± 40 ms); the Red alarm is removed when the out of frame condition
has been absent for 16.6 sec (± 500 ms). The presence of AIS alarm is declared when an out of
frame condition and all-ones in the PCM data stream have been present for 1.5 sec (±100 ms);
the AIS alarm is removed when the AIS condition has been absent for 16.8 sec (±500 ms).
CFA alarm detection algorithms operate in the presence of a 10-3 bit error rate.
The ALMI also indicates the presence or absence of the Yellow, Red, and AIS alarm signal
conditions over 40 ms, 40 ms, and 60 ms intervals, respectively, allowing an external
microprocessor to integrate the alarm conditions via software with any user-specific algorithms.
Alarm indication is provided through internal register bits.

9.14 HDLC Receiver (RDLC)
The RDLC is a microprocessor peripheral used to receive HDLC frames on the T1 4kHz ESF
facility data link, the E1 Sa-bit data link, or in any arbitrary timeslot (T1 or E1).
The RDLC detects the change from flag characters to the first byte of data, removes stuffed zeros
on the incoming data stream, receives packet data, and calculates the CRC-CCITT frame check
sequence (FCS).
In the address matching mode, only those packets whose first data byte matches one of two
programmable bytes or the universal address (all ones) are stored in the FIFO. The two least
significant bits of the address comparison can be masked for LAPD SAPI matching.
Received data is placed into a 128-level FIFO buffer. An interrupt is generated when a
programmable number of bytes are stored in the FIFO buffer. Other sources of interrupt are
detection of the terminating flag sequence, abort sequence, or FIFO buffer overrun.
The Status Register contains bits that indicate the overrun or empty FIFO status, the interrupt
status, and the occurrence of first flag or end of message bytes written into the FIFO. The Status
Register also indicates the abort, flag, and end of message status of the data just read from the
FIFO. On end of message, the Status Register indicates the FCS status and if the packet
contained a non-integer number of bytes.
9.15 Bit Oriented Code Detector (RBOC)
The Bit Oriented Code detection function is provided by the RBOC block. This block detects the
presence of 63 of the possible 64 bit oriented codes transmitted in the T1 Facility Data Link
channel in ESF framing format, as defined in ANSI T1.403 and in TR-TSY-000194. The 64
(111111) i s simil ar to t he HDL C flag s equence and is used by the RBOC to indicate no valid code
received.
Bit oriented codes are received on the Facility Data Link channel as a 16-bit sequence consisting
of 8 ones, a zero, 6 code bits, and a trailing zero (111111110xxxxxx0). BOCs are validated when
repeated at least 10 times. The RBOC can be enabled to declare a received code valid if it has
been observed for 8 out of 10 times or for 4 out of 5 times, as specified by the AVC bit in the
RBOC Configuration/Interrupt Enable register. The RBOC declares that the code is removed if two
code sequences containing code values different from the detected code are received in a moving
window of ten code periods.
Valid BOC are indicated through the RBOC Interrupt Status register. The BOC bits are set to all
ones (111111) if n o val id code has been detected. An interrupt is generated to signal when a
detected code has been validated, or optionally, when a valid code goes away (i.e. the BOC bits
go to all ones).

9.16 Receive Per-Channel Serial Controller (RPSC)
The RPSC allows data and signaling trunk conditioning to be applied on the backplane receive
stream on a per-channel basis. It also allows per-channel control of data inversion, the extraction
of clock and data on BRCLK[x] and BRPCM[x] (when the Clock Master: Nx64Kbit/s mode is
active), and the detection or generation of pseudo-random patterns. The RPSC operates on the
data after its passage through ELST, so that data and signaling conditioning may overwrite the
ELST trouble code.
9.17 Pseudo Random Binary Sequence Generation and Detection (PRBS)
The Pseudo Random Binary Sequence Generator/Detector (PRBS) block is a software selectable
PRBS generator and checker for 2
11
-1, 215-1 or 220-1 PRBS polynomials for use in the T1 and E1
links. PRBS patterns may be generated in either the transmit or receive directions, and detected
in the opposite direction.
The PRBS block can perform an auto synchronization to the expected PRBS pattern and
accumulates the total number of bit errors in two 24-bit counters. The error count accumulates
over the interval defined by to the Quadrant PMON Update register. When an accumulation is
forced, the holding register is updated, and the counter reset to begin accumulating for the next
interval. The counter is reset in such a way that no events are missed. The data is then available
in the Error Count registers until the next accumulation.
9.18 Backplane Receive System Interface (BRIF)
The Backplane Receive System Interface (BRIF) block provides system side serial clock and data
access as well as H-MVIP access for up to 4 T1 or E1 receive streams. There are several
master and slave clock modes for serial clock and data system side access to the T1 and E1
streams. When enabled for 8.192 Mbit/s H-MVIP, there are three separate signals for data and
signaling. Information on programming the Backplane Receive System Interface can be found in
the Operation section.
Three Clock Master modes provide a serial clock and data backplane receive interface with
clocking provided by COMET-QUAD: Clock Master: Full T1/E1, Clock Master: Nx64Kbit/s, Clock
Master: Clear Channel. Three Clock slave modes provide a serial clock and data backplane
receive mode, an H-MVIP mode, and a mixed clock-and-data/H-MVIP mode. All Clock Slave
modes accept externally sourced clocking. The modes are Clock Slave: Full T1/E1, Clock Slave:
Full T1/E1 with CCS H-MVIP, and Clock Slave: H-MVIP.

signaling appears on BRSIG[x], and the backplane receive frame alignment is indicated by
BRFP[x]. In this mode, T1 or E1 data passes through the COMET-QUAD unchanged during out
of frame conditions, similar to an offline framer system. When the COMET-QUAD is the clock
master in the backplane receive direction, the receive elastic store is used to buffer between the
backplane receive and backplane transmit clocks to facilitate per-DS0 loopback.

In Receive Clock Master: Nx64Kbit/s mode, BRCLK[x] is a gapped version of the optionally jitter
attenuated 1.544 MHz or 2.048 MHz receive clock. BRCLK[x] is gapped on a per channel basis
so that a subset of the 24 channels in the T1 frame or 32 channels in an E1 frame is extracted on
BRPCM[x]. BRFP[x] indicates frame alignment but, in T1 mode, has no clock since it is gapped
during the framing bit positions. Channel extraction is controlled by the RPSC block. The framing
bit position is always gapped in T1 mode, so the number of BRCLK[x] pulses is controllable from 0
to 192 pulses per T1 frame or 0 to 256 pulses per E1 frame on a per-DS0 basis. In this mode, T1
or E1 streams pass through the COMET-QUAD unchanged during out of frame conditions. The
parity functions are not usable in this mode. When the COMET-QUAD is the clock master in the
backplane receive direction, the elastic store is used to buffer between the backplane receive and
backplane transmit clocks to facilitate per-DS0 loopback.

When Receive Clock Slave: H-MVIP mode is enabled a 8.192 Mbit/s H-MVIP backplane transmit
interface multiplexes up to 128 channels from 4 T1s or E1s, up to 128 channel associated
signaling (CAS) channels from 4 T1s or E1s and common channel signaling from up to 4 T1s or
E1s. The H-MVIP interface uses common clocks, CMV8MCLK and CMVFPC, and frame pulse,
CMVFPB, for synchronization.
Using the H-MVIP interface forces the T1 or E1 receiver to operate in synchronous mode,
meaning that elastic stores are used.
The H-MVIP backplane receive data pins are multiplexed with serial data outputs to provide HMVIP access to 128 data channels.
The CASBRD H-MVIP signal provides access to the Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) for all of
the 128 data channels. The CAS is time division multiplexed exactly the same way as the data
channels and is synchronized with the H-MVIP data channels. Over a T1 or E1 multi-frame the
four CAS bits per channel are repeated with each data byte. Four stuff bits are used to pad each
CAS nibble (ABCD bits) out to a full byte in parallel with each data byte.

9.19 Backplane Transmit System Interface (BTIF)
The Backplane Transmit System Interface (BTIF) block provides system side serial clock and data
access as well as H-MVIP access for up to 4 T1 or E1 transmit streams. There are several master
and slave clocking modes for serial clock and data system side access to the T1 and E1 streams.
When enabled for 8.192 Mbit/s H-MVIP there are three separate signals for data and signaling.
Information on programming the Backplane Transmit System Interface for various modes can be
found in the Operation section.
Three Clock Master modes provide a serial clock and data backplane transmit interface with per
link clocking provided by COMET-QUAD: Clock Master: Full T1/E1, Clock Master: Nx64Kbit/s and
Clock Master: Clear Channel. Four Clock slave modes provide two serial clock and data
backplane transmit modes, a mixed clock-and-data/H-MVIP mode, and a pure H-MVIP mode all
with externally sourced clocking: Clock Slave: Full T1/E1, Clock Slave: Full T1/E1 with CCS HMVIP, Clock Slave: Clear Channel and Clock Slave: H-MVIP.
In Clock Master modes the transmit clock can be sourced from either the common transmit clock,
CTCLK, the received clock for that link, or one of the two recovered clocks.
In Transmit Clock Master: Full T1/E1 mode, the backplane transmit clock (BTCLK[x]) is a jitter
attenuated version of the 1.544 MHz or 2.048 MHz receive clock. BTCLK[x] is pulsed for each bit
in the 193 bit T1 frame or for each bit in the 256 bit E1 frame. The backplane transmit data is
sampled from BTPCM[x], the backplane transmit signaling is sampled from BRSIG[x], and the
backplane transmit frame alignment is indicated by BTFP[x].

BTFP[x] indicates frame alignment but, in T1 mode, has no clock since it is gapped during the
framing bit positions. Channel insertion is controlled by the IDLE_CHAN bits in the TPSC block’s
Backplane Transmit Control Bytes. The framing bit position is always gapped, so the number of
BTCLK[x] pulses is controllable from 0 to 192 pulses per T1 frame or 0 to 256 pulses per E1
frame on a per-DS0 basis. The parity functions are not usable in Nx64Kbit/s mode.

In Transmit Clock Slave: Full T1/E1 mode, the backplane transmit interface is clocked by the
backplane transmit clock (BTCLK[x]). The transmitter is either frame-aligned or superframealigned to the backplane transmit frame pulse (BTFP[x]). BTFP[x] is configurable to indicate the
frame alignment or the superframe alignment of BTPCM[x]. BTSIG[x] contain the signaling data to
be inserted into Transmit Data[x], with the four least significant bits of each channel on BTSIG[x]
representing the signaling state (ABCD or ABAB). BTCLK[x] can be enabled to be either a 1.544

for T1 links or a 2.048 MHz clock for E1 links. The Transmit Clock[x] is a jitter attenuated version
of BTCLK[x].
When Transmit Clock Slave: H-MVIP mode is enabled, a 8.192 Mbit/s H-MVIP backplane transmit

The H-MVIP data signal, MVBTD, provides H-MVIP access to 128 data channels.
A separate H-MVIP signal, CASBTD, provides access to the Channel Associated Signaling (CAS)
for 128 channels. The CAS H-MVIP signal is time division multiplexed exactly the same way as

multi-frame the four CAS bits per channel are repeated with each data byte. Four stuff bits are

The third H-MVIP signal, CCSBTD, is used to time division multiplex the Common Channel
Signaling (CCS) for all 4 T1’s and E1’s plus V5.1 and V5.2 channels in E1 mode.

Transmit Clock Slave: Full T1/E1 with CCS H-MVIP mode is the same as Transmit Clock Slave:
Full T1/E1 mode except that Common Channel Signaling (CCS) is inserted into the transmit
stream via an H-MVIP interface. The CCSBTD H-MVIP signal is used to time division multiplex
the Common Channel Signaling (CCS) for all 4 T1’s and E1’s plus V5.1 and V5.2 channels in E1
mode. The H-MVIP interface use common clocks, CMV8MCLK and CMVFPC, and frame pulse,

9.20 Transmit Per-Channel Serial Controller (TPSC)
The Transmit Per-Channel Serial Controller allows data and signaling trunk conditioning or idle
code to be applied on the transmit DS-1 stream on a per-channel basis. It also allows per-channel
control of zero code suppression, data inversion, channel loopback (from the backplane receive
stream), channel insertion, and the detection or generation of pseudo-random or repetitive
patterns.
The TPSC interfaces directly to the E1-TRAN and T1-XBAS block and provides serial streams for
signaling control, idle code data and backplane transmit data control.

9.21 Transmit Elastic Store (TX-ELST)
The Transmit Elastic Store (TX-ELST) provides the ability to decouple the line timing from the
backplane timing. The TX-ELST is required whenever the backplane and lineside clocks are not
traceable to a common source.
When the elastic store is being used, if the average frequency of the backplane data is greater
than the average frequency of the line clock, the buffer will fill. Under this condition a controlled
slip will occur upon the next frame boundary. The following frame of PCM data will be deleted.
If the average frequency of the backplane data is less than the average frequency of the line
clock, the buffer will empty. Under this condition a controlled slip will occur upon the next frame
boundary. The last frame will be repeated.
A slip operation is always performed on a frame boundary. The TX-ELST is upstream of the
frame overhead insertion; therefore, frame slips do not corrupt the frame alignment signal.
When the line timing is derived from CTCLK or BTCLK is an output, the elastic store is bypassed
to eliminate the one frame delay.
9.22 T1 Basic Transmitter (T1-XBAS)
The T1 Basic Transmitter (T1-XBAS) block generates the 1.544 Mbit/s T1 data stream according
to SF or ESF frame formats.
In concert with the Transmit Per-Channel Serial Controller (TPSC), the T1-XBAS block, provides
per-channel control of idle code substitution, data inversion (either all 8 bits, sign bit magnitude or
magnitude only), and zero code suppression. Three types of zero code suppression (GTE, Bell
and "jammed bit 8") are supported and selected on a per-channel basis to provide minimum ones
density control. An internal signaling control stream provides per-channel control of robbed bit
signaling and selection of the signaling source. All channels can be forced into a trunk
conditioning state (idle code substitution and signaling conditioning) by use of the Master Trunk
Conditioning bit in the Configuration Register.
A data link is provided for ESF mode. The data link sources include bit oriented codes and HDLC
messages. Support is provided for the transmission of framed or unframed Inband Code
sequences and transmission of AIS or Yellow alarm signals for all formats.
The transmitter can be disabled for framing via the disable bit in the Transmit Functions Enable
register. When transmitting ESF formatted data, the framing bit, datalink bit, or the CRC-6 bit from
the backplane transmit stream can be by-passed to the output PCM stream. Finally, the
transmitter can be by-passed completely to provide an unframed operating mode.

9.23 E1 Transmitter (E1-TRAN)
The E1 Transmitter (E1-TRAN) generates a 2048 kbit/s data stream according to ITU-T
recommendations, providing individual enables for frame generation, CRC multiframe generation,
and channel associated signaling (CAS) multiframe generation.
In concert with Transmit Per-Channel Serial Controller (TPSC), the E1-TRAN block provides pertimeslot control of idle code substitution, data inversion, digital milliwatt substitution, selection of
the signaling source and CAS data. All timeslots can be forced into a trunk conditioning state (idle
code substitution and signaling substitution) by use of the master trunk conditioning bit in the
Configuration Register.
Common Channel Signaling (CCS) is supported in timeslot 16 through the Transmit Channel
Insertion (TXCI) block. Support is provided for the transmission of AIS and TS16 AIS, and the
transmission of remote alarm (RAI) and remote multiframe alarm signals.
The National Use bits (Sa-bits) can be sourced from the E1-TRAN National Bits Codeword
registers as 4-bit codewords aligned to the submultiframe. Alternatively, the Sa-bits may
individually carry data links sourced from the internal HDLC controller, or may be passed
transparently from the BTPCM[x] input.
9.24 T1 Inband Loopback Code Generator (XIBC)
The T1 Inband Loopback Code Generator (XIBC) block generates a stream of inband loopback
codes (IBC) to be inserted into a T1 data stream. The IBC stream consists of continuous
repetitions of a specific code and can be either framed or unframed. When the XIBC is enabled
to generate framed IBC, the framing bit overwrites the inband code pattern. The contents of the
code and its length are programmable from 3 to 8 bits. The XIBC interfaces directly to the T1XBAS Basic Transmitter block.
9.25 Pulse Density Enforcer (XPDE)
The Pulse Density Enforcer function is provided by the XPDE block. Pulse density enforcement is
enabled by a register bit within the XPDE.
This block monitors the digital output of the transmitter and detects when the stream is about to
violate the ANSI T1.403 12.5% pulse density rule over a moving 192-bit window. If a density
violation is detected, the block can be enabled to insert a logic 1 into the digital stream to ensure
the resultant output no longer violates the pulse density requirement. When the XPDE is disabled
from inserting logic 1s, the digital stream from the transmitter is passed through unaltered.
9.26 T1 Signaling Aligner (SIGA)
When enabled, the Signaling Aligner is positioned in the backplane transmit path before the T1XBAS. Its purpose is to ensure that, if the signaling on BTSIG[x] is changed in the middle of a
superframe, the T1-XBAS completes transmitting the signalling bits (the A,B,C, and D bits in ESF

values. This permits signaling integrity to be preserved independent of the superframe alignment
of the T1-XBAS or the signaling data source.
9.27 Bit Oriented Code Generator (XBOC)
The Bit Oriented Code Generator function is provided by the XBOC block. This block transmits
63 of the possible 64 bit oriented codes in the Facility Data Link (FDL) channel in ESF framing
format, as defined in ANSI T1.403-1989. The 64th code (111111) is s imila r to the HDLC F lag
sequence and is used in the XBOC to disable transmission of any bit oriented codes. When
transmission is disabled the FDL channel is set to all ones.
Bit oriented codes are transmitted on the T1 Facility Data Link channel as a 16-bit sequence
consisting of 8 ones, a zero, 6 code bits, and a trailing zero (111111110xxxxxx0) which is repeated
as long as the code is not 111111. W hen driving the T1 facility data link the transmitted bit
oriented codes have priority over any data transmitted except for ESF Yellow Alarm. The code to
be transmitted is programmed by writing to the XBOC code registers when it is held until the last
code has been transmitted at least 10 times. An interrupt or polling mechanism is used to
determine when the most recent code written the XBOC register is being transmitted and a new
code can be accepted.
9.28 HDLC Transmitter (TDPR)
The HDLC Transmitter (TDPR) provides a serial data link in the T1 4 kHz ESF facility data link, E1
Sa-bit data link, or in any arbitrary timeslot (T1 or E1). The TDPR is used under microprocessor
control to transmit HDLC data frames. It performs all of the data serialization, CRC generation,
zero-bit stuffing, as well as flag, and abort sequence insertion. Upon completion of the message,
a CRC-CCITT frame check sequence (FCS) may be appended, followed by flags. If the TDPR
transmit data FIFO underflows, an abort sequence is automatically transmitted.
When enabled, the TDPR continuously transmits the flag sequence (01111110) u ntil d ata i s ready
to be transmitted. Data bytes to be transmitted are written into the Transmit Data Register. The
TDPR performs a parallel-to-serial conversion of each data byte before transmitting it.
The default procedure provides automatic transmission of data once a complete packet is written.
All complete packets of data will be transmitted. After the last data byte of a packet, the CRC
word (if CRC insertion has been enabled) and a flag, or just a flag (if CRC insertion has not been
enabled) is transmitted. The TDPR then returns to the transmission of flag characters until the
next packet is available for transmission. While working in this mode, the user must only be
careful to avoid overfilling the FIFO; underruns cannot occur unless the packet is greater than 128
bytes long. The TDPR will force transmission if the FIFO is filled up regardless of whether or not
the packet has been completely written into the FIFO.
The second procedure transmits data only when the FIFO depth has reached a user configured
upper threshold. The TDPR will continue to transmit data until the FIFO depth has fallen below
the upper threshold and the transmission of the last packet with data above the upper threshold

has completed. In this mode, the user must be careful to avoid overruns and underruns. An
interrupt can be generated once the FIFO depth has fallen below a user configured lower
threshold as an indicator for the user to write more data.
Interrupts can also be generated if the FIFO underflows while transmitting a packet, when the
FIFO falls below a lower threshold, when the FIFO is full, or if the FIFO is overrun.
If there are more than five consecutive ones in the raw transmit data or in the CRC data, a zero is
stuffed into the serial data output. This prevents the unintentional transmission of flag or abort
sequences.
Abort characters can be continuously transmitted at any time by setting a control bit. During
packet transmission, an underrun situation can occur if data is not written to the TDPR Transmit
Data register before the previous byte has been depleted. In this case, an abort sequence is
transmitted, and the controlling processor is notified via the UDRI interrupt.
Before enabling TDPR transmission, the XBOC must first be disabled by programming the XBOC
Code register to an all-ones code.
9.29 Transmit Jitter Attenuator (TJAT)
The Transmit Jitter Attenuation function is provided by a digital phase lock loop and 80-bit deep
FIFO. The TJAT receives jittery, dual-rail data in NRZ format on two separate inputs, which allows
bipolar violations to pass through the block uncorrected. The incoming data streams are stored in
a FIFO timed to the transmit clock (either CTCLK or the recovered clock). The respective input
data emerges from the FIFO timed to the jitter attenuated clock (Transmit clock) referenced to
either CTCLK, BTCLK[x], or the recovered clock.
The jitter attenuator generates the jitter-free 1.544 MHz or 2.048 MHz Transmit clock output
transmit clock by adjusting Transmit clock's phase in 1/96 UI increments to minimize the phase
difference between the generated Transmit clock and input data clock to TJAT (either CTCLK or
the recovered clock). Jitter fluctuations in the phase of the input data clock are attenuated by the
phase-locked loop within TJAT so that the frequency of Transmit clock is equal to the average
frequency of the input data clock. For T1 applications, to best fit the jitter attenuation transfer
function recommended by TR 62411, phase fluctuations with a jitter frequency above 5.7 Hz are
attenuated by 6 dB per octave of jitter frequency. Wandering phase fluctuations with frequencies
below 5.7 Hz are tracked by the generated Transmit clock. In E1 applications, the corner
frequency is 7.6 Hz. To provide a smooth flow of data out of TJAT, Transmit clock is used to read
data out of the FIFO.
If the FIFO read pointer (timed to Transmit clock) comes within one bit of the write pointer (timed
to the input data clock, CTCLK or RSYNC), TJAT will track the jitter of the input clock. This
permits the phase jitter to pass through unattenuated, inhibiting the loss of data.

Jitter Characteristics
The TJAT Block provides excellent jitter tolerance and jitter attenuation while generating minimal
residual jitter. It can accommodate up to 61 UIpp of input jitter at jitter frequencies above 5.7 Hz
(7.6 Hz for E1). For jitter frequencies below 5.7 Hz (7.6 Hz for E1), more correctly called wander,
the tolerance increases 20 dB per decade. In most applications the TJAT Block will limit jitter
tolerance at lower jitter frequencies only. For high frequency jitter, above 10 kHz for example,
other factors such as clock and data recovery circuitry may limit jitter tolerance and must be
considered. For low frequency wander, below 10 Hz for example, other factors such as slip buffer
hysteresis may limit wander tolerance and must be considered. The TJAT block meets the
stringent low frequency jitter tolerance requirements of AT&T TR 62411 and thus allows
compliance with this standard and the other less stringent jitter tolerance standards cited in the
references.
The corner frequency in the jitter transfer response can be altered through programming.
TJAT exhibits negligible jitter gain for jitter frequencies below 5.7 Hz (7.6 Hz for E1), and
attenuates jitter at frequencies above 5.7 Hz (7.6 Hz for E1) by 20 dB per decade. In most
applications, the TJAT block will determine jitter attenuation for higher jitter frequencies only.
Wander, below 10 Hz for example, will essentially be passed unattenuated through TJAT. Jitter,
above 10 Hz for example, will be attenuated as specified, however, outgoing jitter may be
dominated by the generated residual jitter in cases where incoming jitter is insignificant. This
generated residual jitter is directly related to the use of a 1/96 UI phase adjustment quantum.
TJAT meets the jitter attenuation requirements of AT&T TR 62411. The block allows the implied
jitter attenuation requirements for a TE or NT1 given in ANSI Standard T1.408, and the implied
jitter attenuation requirements for a type II customer interface given in ANSI T1.403 to be met.
Jitter Tolerance
Jitter tolerance is the maximum input phase jitter at a given jitter frequency that a device can
accept without exceeding its linear operating range, or corrupting data. For TJAT, the input jitter
tolerance is 61 Unit Intervals peak-to-peak (UIpp) with a worst case frequency offset of 354 Hz. It
is 80 UIpp with no frequency offset. The frequency offset is the difference between the frequency
of XCLK and that of the input data clock.

The accuracy of the XCLK frequency and that of the TJAT PLL reference input clock used to
generate the jitter-free Transmit clock output have an effect on the minimum jitter tolerance.
Given that the TJAT PLL reference clock accuracy can be ±200 Hz and that the XCLK input
accuracy can be ±100 ppm, the minimum jitter tolerance for various differences between the
frequency of PLL reference clock and XCLK are shown in Figure 23.

For T1 applications, the output jitter for jitter frequencies from 0 to 5.7 Hz (7.6 Hz for E1) is no
more than 0.1 dB greater than the input jitter, excluding residual jitter. Jitter frequencies above
5.7 Hz (7.6 Hz for E1) are attenuated at a level of 6 dB per octave, as shown in Figure 24. The

Jitter Generation
In the absence of input jitter, the output jitter shall be less than 0.025 UIpp. This complies with the
AT&T TR 62411 requirement of less than 0.025 UIpp of jitter generation.
9.30 Line Transmitter
The line transmitter generates Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI) transmit pulses suitable for use in
the DSX-1 (short haul T1), short haul E1, long haul T1 and long haul E1 environments. The
voltage pulses are produced by applying a current to a known termination (termination resistor
plus line impedance). The use of current (instead of a voltage driver) simplifies transmit Input
Return Loss (IRL), transmit short circuit protection (none needed) and transmit tri-stating.
The output pulse shape is synthesized digitally with current digital-to-analog (DAC) converters,
which produce 24 samples per symbol. The current DAC’s produce differential bipolar outputs
that directly drive the TXTIP1[x], TXTIP2[x] TXRING1[x], and TXRING2[x] pins. The current
output is applied to a terminating resistor and line-coupling transformer in a differential manner,
which when viewed from the line side of the transformer produce the output pulses at the required
levels and insures a small positive to negative pulse imbalance.
The pulse shape is user programmable. For T1 short haul, the cable length between the COMETQUAD and the cross-connect (where the pulse template specifications are given) greatly affects
the resulting pulse shapes. Hence, the data applied to the converter must account for different
cable lengths. For CEPT E1 applications the pulse template is specified at the transmitter, thus
only one setting is required. For T1 long haul with a LBO of 7.5 dB the previous bits effect what
the transmitter must drive to compensate for inter-symbol interference; for LBO’s of 15 dB or
22.5 dB the previous 3 or 4 bits effect what the transmitter must send out.
Refer to the Operation section for details on creating the synthesized pulse shape.
9.31 Timing Options (TOPS)
The Timing Options block provides a means of selecting the source of the internal input clock to
the TJAT block, and the reference clock for the TJAT digital PLL.

The JTAG Test Access Port block provides JTAG support for boundary scan. The standard JTAG
EXTEST, SAMPLE, BYPASS, IDCODE and STCTEST instructions are supported.

10 NORMAL MODE REGISTER DESCRIPTION
Normal mode registers are used to configure and monitor the operation of the COMET-QUAD.
The Register Memory Map in Table 4 below shows where the normal mode registers are
accessed. The registers are organized so that backward software compatibility with existing PMC
devices is optimized. The COMET-QUAD contains 1 set of master configuration, H-MVIP, and
CSU registers and 4 sets of T1/E1 Framer registers. Where only 1 set is present, the registers
apply to the entire device. Where 4 sets are present, the registers apply to a single quadrant of
the COMET-QUAD. By convention, where 4 sets of registers are present, address space 000H –
0FFH applies to quadrant #1, 100H – 1FFH applies to quadrant #2, 200H – 2FFH applies to
quadrant #3, and 300H – 3FFH applies to quadrant #4.
On reset the COMET-QUAD defaults to T1 mode. For proper operation some register
configuration is expected. System side access defaults to the serial clock and data signals. By
default interrupts will not be enabled, and automatic alarm generation is disabled.
Notes on Normal Mode Register Bits:
1. Writing values into unused register bits has no effect. Reading back unused bits can produce
either a logic 1 or a logic 0; hence, unused register bits should be masked off by software
when read.
2. All configuration bits that can be written into can also be read back. This allows the processor
controlling the COMET-QUAD to determine the programming state of the chip.
3. Writeable normal mode register bits are cleared to zero upon reset unless otherwise noted.
4. Writing into read-only normal mode register bit locations does not affect COMET-QUAD
operation unless otherwise noted.
5. Certain register bits are reserved. These bits are associated with functions that are unused in
this application. To ensure that the COMET-QUAD operates as intended, reserved register
bits must only be written with their default values unless otherwise stated. Similarly, writing to
reserved registers should be avoided unless otherwise stated.

PIO_OE:
The programmable I/O output enable, PIO_OE, bit controls the PIO pin. When PIO_OE is
logic 1, the PIO pin is configured as an output and driven by the COMET-QUAD. When
PIO_OE is logic 0, the PIO pin is configured as an input. Upon reset, the PIO pin is
configured as an input.
PIO_OE is only defined for Register 000H. In Registers 100H, 200H, and 300H the bit is
unused, and the Default value is ‘X’.
PIO:
The programmable I/O, PIO, bit controls/reflects the state of the PIO pin. W hen the PIO pin is
configured as an output, the PIO bit controls the state of the PIO pin. When the PIO pin is
configured as an input, the PIO bit reflects the state of the PIO pin. Upon reset, the PIO pin is
an input.
PIO is only defined for Register 000H. In Registers 100H, 200H, and 300H the bit is unused,
and the Default value is ‘X’.
OOSMFAIS:
In E1 mode, this bit controls the quadrant receive backplane signaling trunk conditioning in an
out of signaling multiframe condition. If OOSMFAIS is set to a logic 0, an OOSMF indication
from the E1-FRMR does not affect the BRSIG[x] or CASBRD output of the quadrant. When
OOSMFAIS is a logic 1, an OOSMF indication from the E1-FRMR will cause the BRSIG[x] or
CASBRD output of the quadrant to be set to all 1's.
RSYNC_ALOSB:
The RSYNC_ALOSB bit controls the source of the loss of signal condition used to control the
behaviour of the receive reference presented on the RSYNC. If RSYNC_ALOSB is a logic 0,
analog loss of signal is used. If RSYNC_ALOSB is a logic 1, digital loss of signal is used.

When the COMET-QUAD quadrant is in a loss of signal state, the RSYNC output is derived
from XCLK. When the COMET-QUAD quadrant is not in a loss of signal state, the RSYNC
output is derived from the receive recovered clock of the selected quadrant.
The quadrant becoming the source of RSYNC is configured in the RSYNC Select register.
IBCD_IDLE:
When the IBCD_IDLE bit is set to logic 1, the data to the inband code detector (IBCD) block is
gapped during the framing bit. This allows the IBCD to be used to detect an idle code that is
inserted only in the payload of the receive DS1 PCM stream. The IBCD must still be
programmed to detect the desired pattern, and otherwise operates unchanged. The
IBCD_IDLE bit is only valid in T1 mode.
TRKEN:
The TRKEN bit enables quadrant receive trunk conditioning upon an out of frame condition. If
TRKEN is logic 1, the contents of the RX-ELST Idle Code register are inserted into all data
timeslots (including TS0 and TS16) of BRPCM[x] or MVBRD of the quadrant if the framer is
out-of-basic frame (i.e. the OOF status bit is logic 1). The TRKEN bit only has effect if
RXELSTBYP bit is logic 0. If TRKEN is a logic 0, receive trunk conditioning can still be
performed on a per-timeslot basis via the RPSC Data Trunk Conditioning and Signaling Trunk
Conditioning registers.
RXMTKC:
The RXMTKC bit allows quadrant trunk conditioning to be applied to the received data and
signaling streams, BRPCM[x] or MVBRD, and BRSIG[x] or CASBRD, of the quadrant. When
RXMTKC is set to logic 1, the data on BRPCM[x] or MVBRD for each channel of the quadrant
is replaced with the data contained in the data trunk conditioning registers within RPSC;
similarly, the signaling on BRSIG[x] or CASBRD for each channel of the quadrant is replaced
with the signaling contained in the signaling trunk conditioning registers. When RXMTKC is
set to logic 0, the data and signaling streams are modified on a per-channel basis in
accordance with the control bits contained in the per-channel control registers within the
RPSC.
E1/T1B:
The global E1/T1B bit selects the operating mode of all four of the COMET-QUAD quadrants.
If E1/T1B is logic 1, the 2.048 Mbit/s E1 mode is selected for all four quadrants. If E1/T1B is
logic 0, the 1.544 Mbit/s T1 mode is selected for all four quadrants.
E1/T1B is only defined for Register 000H. In Registers 100H, 200H, and 300H the bit is
unused, and the Default value is ‘X’.

When a monitored clock signal makes a low to high transition, the corresponding register bit is set
high. The bit will remain high until this register is read, at which point all the bits in this register are
cleared. A lack of transitions is indicated by the corresponding register bit reading low. This
register should be read at periodic intervals to detect clock failures.
XCLKA:
The XCLK active (XCLKA) bit detects for low to high transitions on the XCLK input. XCLKA is
set high on a rising edge of XCLK, and is set low when this register is read.
Note: XCLKA is only defined for register 301H, although it applies to the XCLK source used by

This register allows software to configure the receive functions of each framer.
RJATBYP:
The RJATBYP bit disables jitter attenuation in the receive direction. When receive jitter
attenuation is not being used, setting RJATBYP to logic 1 will reduce the latency through the
receiver section by typically 40 bits. When RJATBYP is set to logic 0, the quadrant’s
BRCLK[x] output (if BRCLK[x] is configured to be an output by setting the CMODE bit of the
BRIF Configuration register to logic 0), is jitter attenuated. When the RJAT is bypassed, the
quadrant’s BRCLK[x] is not jitter attenuated. The RSYNC output is jitter attenuated by the
RJAT, regardless of the state of RJATBYP.
Note: In T1 mode, when the framer is enabled (i.e., the UNF bit in the Receive Options
register is logic 0), this bit must be programmed to logic 0.
UNF:
The UNF bit allows the framer to operate with unframed DS-1 or E1 data. When UNF is set
to logic 1, the framer is disabled (both the T1-FRMR and E1-FRMR are held reset) and the
recovered data passes through the receiver section of the framer without frame or channel
alignment. While UNF is set to logic 1, the Alarm Integrator continues to operate and detects
and integrates AIS alarm. When UNF is set to logic 0, the framer operates normally,
searching for frame alignment on the incoming data.
When UNF is a logic 1, the BRFP[x] pin (if configured as an output) is held low.
RXELSTBYP:
The RXELSTBYP bit allows the Receive Elastic Store (RX-ELST) to be bypassed, eliminating
the one frame delay incurred through the RX-ELST. When set to logic 1, the received data

and clock inputs to RX-ELST are internally routed directly to the RX-ELST output. If
RXELSTBYP is logic 1, the CMODE bit of the BRIF Configuration register must be logic 0 and
the FPMODE bit of the BRIF Frame Pulse Configuration register must be logic 0.
In Receive Clock Slave: H-MVIP mode, RXELSTBYP must be programmed to logic 0.
RSYNC_MEM:
The RSYNC_MEM bit controls the quadrant’s RSYNC output under a loss of signal condition
(as determined by the RSYNC_ALOSB register bit). When RSYNC_MEM is a logic 1, the
quadrant’s RSYNC output is held high during a loss of signal condition. When RSYNC_MEM
is a logic 0, the quadrant’s RSYNC output is derived from XCLK during a loss of signal
condition.
RSYNCSEL:
The RSYNCSEL bit selects the frequency of the receive reference presented on the
quadrant’s RSYNC output. If RSYNCSEL is a logic 1, the quadrant’s RSYNC will be an 8 kHz
clock. If RSYNCSEL is a logic 0, the quadrant’s RSYNC will be an 1.544 MHz (T1) or
2.048 MHz (E1) clock.
WORDERR:
In E1 mode, the WORDERR bit determines how frame alignment signal (FAS) errors are
reported. When WORDERR is logic 1, one or more errors in the seven bit FAS word results
in a single framing error count. When WORDERR is logic 0, each error in a FAS word results
in a single framing error count.
CNTNFAS:
In E1 mode, when the CNTNFAS bit is a logic 1, a zero in bit 2 of timeslot 0 of non-frame
alignment signal (NFAS) frames results in an increment of the framing error count. If
WORDERR is also a logic 1, the word is defined as the eight bits consisting of the seven-bit
FAS pattern and bit 2 of timeslot 0 of the next NFAS frame. When the CNTNFAS bit is a
logic 0, only errors in the FAS affect the framing error count.
CCOFA
The CCOFA bit determines whether the PMON counts Change-Of-Frame Alignment (COFA)
events or out of frame (OOF) events. When CCOFA is set to logic 1, COFA events are
counted by PMON. When CCOFA is set to logic 0, OOF events are counted by PMON. The
CCOFA bit is only valid in T1 mode.

declares a Red alarm in the receive direction, Yellow alarm will be transmitted to the far end.
When AUTOYELLOW is set to logic 0, Yellow alarm will only be transmitted when the XYEL
bit is set in the T1-XBAS Alarm Transmit Register. Note that the Red alarm is not deasserted
on detection of AIS.
In E1 mode, when the AUTOYELLOW bit is set to logic 1, the RAI bit in the transmit stream is
set to a logic 1 for the duration of a loss of frame alignment or AIS. The G706ANNBRAI bit of
the Transmit Framing and Bypass Options register optionally also allows for the transmission
of RAI when CRC-to-non-CRC interworking has been established. When AUTOYELLOW is
set to logic 0, RAI will only be transmitted when the RAI bit is set in the E1-TRAN Transmit
Alarm/Diagnostic Control register.
AUTORED:
The AUTORED bit allows quadrant trunk conditioning to be applied to the receive data and
signaling streams, BRPCM[x] or MVBRD, and BRSIG[x] or CASBRD, immediately upon
declaration of Red carrier failure alarm. When AUTORED is set to logic 1, the data on
BRPCM[x] or MVBRD for each channel of the quadrant is replaced with the data contained in
the Data Trunk Conditioning registers within RPSC and the signaling on BRSIG[x] or
CASBRD for each channel of the quadrant is replaced with the signaling contained in the
Signaling Trunk Conditioning registers within the RPSC while Red CFA is declared. When
AUTORED is set to logic 0, the receive data and signaling is not automatically conditioned
when Red CFA is declared.

AUTOOOF:
The AUTOOOF bit allows quadrant trunk conditioning to be applied to the receive data
stream, BRPCM[x] or MVBRD of the quadrant, immediately upon declaration of out of frame
(OOF). When AUTOOOF is set to logic 1, while OOF is declared, the data on BRPCM[x] or
MVBRD for each channel of the quadrant is replaced with the data contained in the data trunk
conditioning registers within RPSC. When AUTOOOF is set to logic 0, the receive data
stream, BRPCM[x] or MVBRD of the quadrant, is not automatically conditioned by RPSC
when OOF is declared. However, if the RX-ELST is not bypassed, the RX-ELST trouble code
will still be inserted in channel data while OOF is declared if the TRKEN register bit is logic 1.
RPSC data and signaling trunk conditioning overwrites the RX-ELST trouble code.
AUTOAIS:
If the AUTOAIS bit is logic 1, AIS is inserted in the receive path and the channel associated
signaling is frozen for the duration of a loss of signal condition. (The loss of signal criteria is
configured via the LOS[1:0] bits of the CDRC Configuration register.) If AUTOAIS is logic 0,
AIS may be inserted manually via the RAIS register bit.
BPV:
In T1 mode, the BPV bit enables only bipolar violations to indicate line code violations and be
accumulated in the PMON LCV Count Registers. When BPV is set to logic 1, BPVs (which
are not part of a valid B8ZS signature if B8ZS line coding is used) generate an LCV indication
and increment the PMON LCV counter. When BPV is set to logic 0, both BPVs (which are not
part of a valid B8ZS signature if B8ZS line coding is used) and excessive zeros (EXZ)
generate an LCV indication and increment the PMON LCV counter. Excessive zeros is a
sequence of zeros greater than fifteen bits long for an AMI-coded signal and greater than
seven bits long for a B8ZS-coded signal.
In E1 mode, the BPV bit enables only bipolar violations to indicate line code violations and be
accumulated in the PMON LCV Count registers. (The O162 bit in the CDRC Configuration
register provides two E1 LCV definitions.) When BPV is set to logic 1, BPVs (which are not
part of a valid HDB3 signature if HDB3 line coding is used) generate an LCV indication and
increment the PMON LCV counter. When BPV is set to logic 0, both BPVs (which are not part
of a valid HDB3 signature if HDB3 line coding is used) and excessive zeros (EXZ) generate
an LCV indication and increment the PMON LCV counter. Excessive zeros is a sequence of
zeros greater than four bits long.

These bits must be a logic 0 for normal operation.
TJATBYP:
The TJATBYP bit enables the transmit jitter attenuator's FIFO to be removed from the
transmit data path. When transmit jitter attenuation is not being used, setting TJATBYP to
logic 1 will reduce the latency through the transmitter section by typically 40 bits. Since the
transmit jitter attenuator’s PLL is never bypassed, the PLLREF[1:0] bits of the Transmit Timing
Options register must be configured to reference the transmit line clock regardless of the
value of the TJATBYP bit.
TAISEN:
The TAISEN bit enables the interface to generate an unframed all-ones AIS alarm on the
TXTIP[x] and TXRING[x]. When TAISEN is set to logic 1 the bipolar TXTIP[x] and TXRING[x]
outputs are forced to pulse alternately, creating an all-ones signal. The transition to
transmitting AIS on the TXTIP[x] and TXRING[x] outputs is done in such a way as to not
introduce any bipolar violations.
The diagnostic loopback point is upstream of this AIS insertion point.
TAUXP:
The TAUXP bit enables the interface to generate an unframed alternating zeros and ones (i.e.
010101...) auxiliary pattern (AUXP) on the TXTIP[x] and TXRING[x]. When TAUXP is set to
logic 1 the bipolar TXTIP[x] and TXRING[x] outputs are forced to pulse alternately every other
cycle. The transition to transmitting AUXP on the TXTIP[x] and TXRING[x] outputs is done in
such a way as to not introduce any bipolar violations.
The diagnostic loopback point is upstream of this AUXP insertion point.

This register allows software to configure the bypass and framing options of the transmitter, the
use of the Signaling Alignment block, and controls the quadrant transmit framing disable.
PATHCRC:
This bit only has effect in E1 mode.
When in E1 mode, the PATHCRC bit allows upstream block errors to be preserved in the
transmit CRC bits. If PATHCRC is a logic 1, the CRC-4 bits are modified to reflect any bit
values in BTPCM[x], MVBTD or CCSBTD of the quadrant which have changed prior to
transmission. When PATHCRC is set to logic 0, a new CRC-4 value overwrites the incoming
CRC-4 word. For the PATHCRC bit to be effective, the FPTYP bit of the Transmit Backplane
Frame Pulse Configuration register must be a logic 1; otherwise, the identification of the
incoming CRC-4 bits would be impossible. The PATHCRC bit only takes effect if the GENCRC
bit of the E1-TRAN Configuration register is a logic 1 and either the INDIS or FDIS bit in the
same register are set to logic 1.
G706ANNBRAI:
When in E1 mode, the G.706 Annex B RAI bit, G706ANNBRAI, selects between two modes of
operation concerning the transmission of RAI when the quadrant is out of CRC-4 multiframe.
When G706ANNBRAI is logic 1, the behaviour of RAI follows Annex B of G.706, i.e., RAI is
transmitted only when out of basic frame, not when CRC-4-to-non-CRC-4 interworking is
declared, nor when the offline framer is out of frame. When G706ANNBRAI is logic 0, the
behaviour of RAI follows ETSI standards, i.e., RAI is transmitted when out of basic frame,
when CRC-4-to-non-CRC-4 interworking is declared, and when the offline framer is out of
frame.
This bit only has effect in E1 mode.
