The HC-5560 digital line transcoder provides encoding and
decoding of pseudo ternary line code substitution schemes.
Unlike other industry standard transcoders, the HC-5560
provides four worldwide compatible mode selectable code
substitution schemes, including HDB3 (High Density Bipolar
3), B6ZS, B8ZS (Bipolar with 6 or 8 Zero Substitution) and
AMI (Alternate Mark Inversion).
The HC-5560 is fabricated in CMOS and operates from a
single 5V supply. All inputs and outputs are TTL compatible.

Transcoder,” by D.J. Donovan is available.

The HC-5560 TRANSCODER can be divided into six sections: transmission (coding), reception (decoding), error
detection, all ones detection, testing functions, and output
controls.
The transmitter codes a non-return to zero (NRZ) binary unipolar input signal (NRZ Data In) into two binary unipolar
return to zero (RZ) output signals (OUT1, OUT2). These output signals represent the NRZ data stream modified according to the selected encoding scheme (i.e.,AMl, B8ZS, B6ZS,
HDB3) and are externally mixed together (usually via a transistor or transformer network) to create a ternary bipolar signal for driving transmission lines.
The receiver accepts as its input the ternary data from the
transmission line that has been externally split into two
binary unipolar return to zero signals (A
and BIN). These

line code into one binary unipolar NRZ output signal (NRz

The encoder and decoder sections of the chip perform independently (excluding loopback condition) and may operate
simultaneously.
The Error output signal is active high for one cycle of CLK
DEC upon the detection of any bipolar violation in the

AMl, Alternate Mark Inversion, is used primarily in North
American T1 (1.544MHz) and T1C (3.152MHz) carriers.
Zeros are coded as the absence of a pulse and ones are
coded alternately as positive or negative pulses. This type of
coding reduces the averagevoltage level to zero to eliminate
DC spectral components, thereby eliminating DC wander.To
simplify timing recovery, logic 1’s are encoded with 50% duty
cycle pulses.

coding scheme (i.e., 15 for AMI, 8 for B8ZS, 6 for B6ZS, and
AMI CODE
4 for HDB3). ln the event that an excessive amount of zeros
is detected, the Error output signal will be active high for one
cycle of CLK DEC during the zero that exceeds the maximum number. In the case that a high level should simultaneously appear on both received input signals A

To facilitate timing maintenance at regenerative repeaters
along a transmission path, a minimum pulse density of logic
1s is required. UsingAMl, there is a possibility of long strings
of zeros and the required density may not always exist, leading to timing jitter and therefore higher error rates.
A method for insuring minimum logic 1 density by substituting
bipolar code in place of strings of 0s is called BNZS or Bipolar

with N Zero Substitution. B6ZS is used commonly in North
American T2 (6.3212MHz) carriers. For every string of 6
zeros, bipolar code is substituted according to the following
rule:
If the immediate preceding pulse is of (-) polarity, then
code each group of 6 zeros as 0+- 0+-, and if the
immediate preceding pulse is of (+) polarity,code each
group of 6 zeros as 0+- 0-+.
One can see the consecutive logic 1 pulses of the same
polarity violate the AMI coding scheme.

B8ZS is used commonly in North American T1 (1.544MHz)
and T1C (3.152MHz) carriers. For every string of 8 zeros,
bipolar code is substituted according to the following rules:
1. If the polarity of the immediate preceding pulse is (-)
and there have been an odd (even) number of logic 1
pulses since the last substitution, each group of 4 consecutive zeros is coded as 000-(+00+).
2. If the polarity of the immediate preceding pulse is (+)
then the substitution is 000+(-00-) for odd (even) number of logic 1 pulses since the last substitution.

The 3 in HDB3 refers to the coding format that precludes
strings of zeros greater than 3. Note that violations are produced only in the fourth bit location of the substitution code
and that successive substitutions produce alternate polarity
violations.
1. If the immediate preceding pulse is of (-) polarity, then
code each group of 8 zeros as 000-+ 0+-.
2. If the immediate preceding pulse is of (+) polarity then
code each group of 8 zeros as 000+-0-+.

The BNZS coding schemes, in addition to eliminating DC
wander, minimize timing jitter and allow a line error monitoring capability.
Another coding scheme is HDB3, high density bipolar 3, used
primarily in Europe f or2.048MHz and 8.448MHz carriers.This
code is similar to BNZS in that it substitutes bipolar code for 4
consecutive zeros according to the follo wing rule:
Two consecutiveperiodsof Reset AIS, each containing less than three zeros, sets AIS to a logic ‘1’ and remains in a logic ‘1’ state
until a period of
Reset AIS contains three or more zeros.
