Device Overview
The MT9076 is a T1/E1/J1 single chip transceiver that incorporates an advanced framer, a long-haul LIU (Line
Interface Unit), a low jitter PLL (Phase Locked Loop) and 3 HDLCs (High-level Data Link Controller). The T1,
E1 and J1 operating modes are selectable under software control.
Standards Compliance
In T1 mode, the MT9076 meets or supports the latest recommendations including Telcordia GR-303-CORE,
AT&T PUB43801, TR-62411, ANSI T1.102, T1.403 and T1.408. In T1 ESF mode the CRC-6 calculation and
yellow alarm can be configured to meet the requirements of a J1 interface.
In E1 mode, the MT9076 meets or supports the latest ITU-T Recommendations for PCM 30 and ISDN primary
rate including G.703, G.704, G.706, G.732, G.775, G.796, G.823, G.964 (V5.1), G.965 (V5,2) and I.431. It also
meets or supports ETSI ETS 300 011, ETS 300 166, ETS 300 233, ETS 300 324 (V5.1) and ETS 300 347
(V5.2).
Microprocessor Port
The MT9076 registers are accessible via an 8-bit parallel Motorola or Intel non-multiplexed microprocessor
interface.

Preliminary InformationMT9076
LIU
The MT9076 LIU interfaces the digital framer functions to either the DS1 (T1 mode) or PCM 30 (E1 mode)
transformer-isolated four wire line.
In T1 mode, the LIU can pre-equalize the transmit signal to meet the T1.403 and T1.102 pulse templates after
attenuation by 0 - 655 feet of 22 AWG PIC cable, alternatively it can provide line build outs of 7.5dB, 15dB and
22.5dB. In T1 mode the receiver can recover signals attenuated by up to 43dB at 772kHz.
In E1 mode, the LIU transmits signals that meet the G.703 2.048 Mbit/s pulse template and the receiver can
recover signals attenuated by up to 43dB at 1024kHz.
Digitial Framer Only Mode
To accommodate some special applications, the MT9076 suppor ts a digital framer only mode that provides
direct access to the transmit and receive data in digital format, i.e. by-passing the analog LIU front-end. In
digital framer only mode, the MT9076 supports unipolar non-return to zero or bipolar return to zero data.
PLL and Slip Buffers
The MT9076 PLL attenuates jitter from 2.5 Hz with a roll-off of 20 dB/decade. The intrinsic jitter is less than
0.02 UI. The device can operate in one of three timing modes: System Bus Synchronous Mode, Line
Synchronous Mode, or Free-run Mode. In all three timing modes the low jitter output of the PLL provides timing
to the transmit side of the LIU.
In T1 mode, the receive and transmit paths both include two-frame slip buffers. The transmit slip buffer features
programmable delay and serves as a Jitter Attenuator (JA) FIFO and a rate converter between the ST-BUS and
the 1.544 Mbit/s T1 line rate.
In E1 mode, the receive path includes a two-frame slip buffer and the transmit path contains a 128 bit Jitter
Attenuator (JA) FIFO with programmable depth.
Interface to the System Backplane
On the system side the MT9076 framers can interface to a 2.048Mbit/s or 8.192Mbit/s ST-BUS backplane.
There is an asynchronous mode for Inverse MUX for ATM (IMA) applications, this enables the framer to
interface to a 1.544Mbit/s (T1) or 2.048Mbit/s (E1) serial bus with asynchronous transmit and receive timing.
Framing Modes
The MT9076 framers operate in termination mode or transparent mode. In the receive transparent mode, the
received line data is channelled to the DSTo pin with arbitrary frame alignment. In the transmit transparent
mode, no framing or signaling is imposed on the data transmitted from the DSTi pin onto the line.
In T1 mode, the framers operate in any of the following framing modes: D4, Extended Superframe (ESF) or
SLC-96.
In E1 mode, the framers run three framing algorithms: basic frame alignment, signaling multiframe alignment
and CRC-4 multiframe alignment. The Remote Alarm Indication (RAI) bit is automatically controlled by an
internal state machine.

MT9076Preliminary Information
Access to the Maintenance Channel
The T1 ESF Facility Data Link (FDL) bits can be accessed in the following three ways: Through the data link
pins TxDL, RxDL, RxDLC and TxDLC; through internal registers for Bit Oriented Messages; through an
embedded HDLC.
In E1 mode, the Sa bits (bits 4-8 of the non-frame alignment signal) can be accessed in four ways: Through
data link pins TxDL, RxDL, RxDLC and TxDLC, through single byte transmit and receive registers; through five
byte transmit and receive national bit buffers; through an embedded HDLC.
Robbed Bit Signaling/Channel Associated Signaling
Robbed bit signaling and channel associated signaling information can be accessed two ways: Via the
microport; via the CSTi and CSTo pins. Signaling information is frozen upon loss of multiframe alignment.
In T1 mode, the MT9076 supports AB and ABCD robbed bit signaling. Robbed bit signaling can be enabled on
a channel by channel basis.
In E1 mode the MT9076 supports Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) multiframing.
HDLCs
The MT9076 provides three embedded HDLCs with 128 byte deep transmit and receive FIFOs.
In T1 mode, the embedded HDLCs can be assigned to any channel and can operate at 56 kbit/s or 64 kbit/s. In
T1 ESF mode, HDLCO can be assigned to the 4 kbit/s FDL.
In E1 mode, the embedded HDLCs can be assigned to any timeslot and can operate at 64kbit/s. HDLCO can
be assigned to timeslot 0 Sa bits (bits 4-8 of the non-frame alignment signal) and can operate at 4,8,12,16 or
20kbit/s.
Performance Monitoring and Debugging
The MT9076 has a comprehensive suite of performance monitoring and debugging features. These include
error counters, loopbacks, deliberate error insertion and a 215 –1 QRS/PRBS generator/detector.
Interrupts
The MT9076 provides a comprehensive set of maskable interrupts. Interrupt sources consist of
synchronization status, alarm status, counter indication and overflow, timer status, slip indication, maintenance
functions and receive signaling bit changes.

The receiver portion of the MT9076 LIU consists of an input signal peak detector, an optional equalizer with
separate high pass sections, a smoothing filter, data and clock slicers and a clock extractor. Receive
equalization gain can be set manually (i.e., software) or it can be determined automatically by peak detectors.
The output of the receive equalizer is conditioned by a smoothing filter and is passed on to the clock and data
slicer. The clock slicer output signal drives a phase locked loop, which generates an extracted clock (Exclk).
This extracted clock is used to sample the output of the data comparator.
In T1 mode, the receiver portion of the LIU can recover clock and data from the line signal for loop lengths of 0
- 6000 ft. and tolerate jitter to the maximum specified by AT&T TR 62411(Figure 3).
The LOS output pin function is selectable to indicate any combination of loss of signal and/or loss of basic
frame synchronization condition.
The LLOS (Loss of Signal) status bit indicates when the receive signal level is lower than the analog threshold
for at least 1 millisecond, or when the number of consecutiv e received zeros exceeds the digital loss threshold.
In E1 mode, the analog threshold is either of -20 dB or -40 dB. The digital loss threshold is either 32 or 192.
In T1 mode, the receive LIU circuit requires a terminating resistor of 17.4Ω across the device side of the
receive 2.4:1 transformer.
In E1 mode, the receive LIU circuit requires a terminating resistor of either 20.8Ω or 13Ω across the device side
of the receive 2.4:1 transformer.
The jitter tolerance of the clock extractor circuit exceeds the requirements of TR 62411 in T1 mode (see Figure
3) and G.823 in E1 mode (see Figure 4).

1.2Transmitter
The transmit portion of the MT9076 LIU consists of a high speed digital-to-analog converter and
complementary line drivers.
When a pulse is to be transmitted, a sequence of digital values (dependent on transmit equalization) are read
out of a ROM by a high speed clock. These values drive the digital-to-analog converter to produce an analog
signal, which is passed to the complementary line drivers.
The complementary line drivers are designed to drive a 1:2.4 step-up transformer in T1 mode (see Figure 4 for
T1 mode) and either a 1:2 or 1:2.4 step-up transformer in E1 mode (see Figure 5 for E1 mode). A 0.47uF
capacitor is required between the TTIP and the transmit transformer. Resistors RT (as shown in Figure 4) are
for termination for transmit return loss. The values of RT may be optimized for T1 mode, E1 120Ω lines, E1 75Ω
lines or set at a compromise value to serve multiple applications. Program the Tx LIU Control Word (page 02H,
address 11H) to adjust the pulse amplitude accordingly.
Alternatively, the pulse level and shape may be discretely programmed by writing to the Custom Pulse Level
registers (page 2, addresses 1CH to 1FH) and setting the Custom Transmit Pulse bit high (bit 3 of the Tx LIU
Control Word). In this case the output of each of the registers directly drives the D/A converter going to the line
driver. Tables 1 and 2 show recommended transmit pulse amplitude settings.
In T1 mode, the template for the transmitted pulse (the DSX-1 template) is shown in Figure 8. The nominal
peak voltage of a mark is 3 volts. The ratio of the amplitude of the transmit pulses generated by TTIP and
TRING lie between 0.95 and 1.05.
In E1 mode, the template for the transmitted pulse, as specified in G.703, is shown in Figure 8. The nominal
peak voltage of a mark is 3 volts for 120 Ω twisted pair applications and 2.37 volts for 75 Ω coax applications.
The ratio of the amplitude of the transmit pulses generated by TTIP and TRING lie between 0.95 and 1.05.

1.4 Phase Lock Loop (PLL)
The MT9076 contains a PLL, which can be locked to either an input 4.096 Mhz clock or the extracted line
clock.The PLL will attenuate jitter from less than 2.5 Hz and roll-off at a rate of 20 dB/decade. Its intrinsic jitter
is less than 0.02 UI. The PLL will meet the jitter transfer characteristics as specified by AT&T document
TR 62411and the relevant recommendations as shown in Figure 12.

2.0Clock Jitter Attenuation Modes
MT9076 has three basic jitter attenuation modes of operation, selected by the BS/LS and S/FR/Exclki control
pins.
•System Bus Synchronous Mode
•Line Synchronous Mode
•Free-run mode
Depending on the mode selection above, the PLL can either attenuate transmit clock jitter or the receive clock
jitter. Table 5 shows the appropriate configuration of each control pin to achieve the appropriate mode and
Jitter attenuation capability of the MT9076.
Mode NameBS/LSS/FR/ExclkiNote
System Bus Synchronous11PLL locked to C4b.
Line Synchronous01PLL locked to Exclk.
Free-Runx0PLL free - running.
Table 5 - Selection of clock jitter attenuation modes using the M/S and MS/FR pins
In System Bus Synchronous mode, pins C4b and F0b are always configured as inputs, while in the Line
Synchronous and Free-Run modes C4b and F0b are configured as outputs.
Referring to the mode names given in Table 5 the basic operation of the jitter attenuation modes are:
•In
System Bus Synchronous
mode an external clock is applied to C4b. The applied clock is dejittered by
the internal PLL before being used to synchronize the transmitted data. The clock extracted (with no
jitter attenuation performed) from the receive data can be monitored on pin Exclk.
23

•In
Line Synchronous
and then output on pin C4b. Pin Exclk provides the extracted receive clock before it has been dejittered.
The transmit data is synchronous to the clean receive clock.
•In
Free-Run
is output on pin C4b. The clock signal extracted from the receive data is not dejittered and is output
directly on Exclk.
2.1Jitter Attenuator FIFO
In System Bus Synchronous operation, a data buffer is required between the jittered input clock and the clean
transmit clock. In normal T1 mode, the transmit slip buffer performs this function. In T1 IMA mode, the transmit
slip buffer is unused, instead a jitter attenuator FIFO is employed. In an E1 mode System Bus Synchronous
configuration, the jitter attenuator FIFO is always used. In this case the C4b signal clocks the data into the
FIFO, the PLL de-jitters the C4b clock and the resulting clean C4b signal clocks the data out of the FIFO.
The JA meets the jitter transfer characteristics as proposed by ETSI ETS 300 011, G.735 and the relevant
recommendations as shown in Figure 12. The JA FIFO depth can be selected to be from 16 to 128 words deep ,
in multiples of 16 (2-bit) words. Its read pointer can be centered by changing the JFC bit (address 13H of page
02H) to provide maximum jitter tolerance. If the read pointer should come within 4 bits of either end of the
FIFO, the read clock frequency will be increased or decreased by 0.0625 UI to correct the situation. The
maximum time needed to centre is T
this time the JA will not attenuate jitter.

2.2IMA Mode
2.2.1T1 Mode
In T1 IMA Mode, neither the transmit nor the receive slip buffers are activated. Channel Associated signaling
(CAS) and HDLC operation is not supported. The input pin C4b accepts a 1.544 MHz clock and it clocks
incoming data from DSTi into a jitter attenuator FIFO. This clock is dejittered with the internal PLL. The
dejittered clock clocks data out of the FIFO for transmission onto the line. Receive clock (1.544 MHz) and data
is extracted from the line and routed to pins Exclk and DSTo respectively. The receive clock Exclk is not
dejittered before being driven off chip. For operation in IMA mode, the MT9076 should be programmed in
System Bus Synchronous mode (BS/LS and S/FR/Exclki set high).
2.2.2E1 Mode
In E1 IMA Mode neither the transmit nor the receive slip buffers are activated. The input pin C4b accepts a
2.048 MHz clock and it clocks incoming data from DSTi into a jitter attenuator FIFO. This clock is dejittered with
the internal PLL. The dejittered clock clocks data out of the FIFO for transmission onto the line. Receive clock
(2.048 MHz) and data is extracted from the line and routed to pins Exclk and DSTo respectively. The receive
clock Exclk is not dejittered before being driven off chip. For operation in IMA mode, the MT9076 should be
programmed in System Bus Synchronous mode (BS/LS and S/FR/Exclki set high).
3.0The Digital Interface
3.1T1 Digital Interface
In T1 mode, DS1 frames are 193 bits long and are transmitted at a frame repetition rate of 8000 Hz, which
results in an aggregate bit rate of 193 bits x 8000/sec= 1.544 Mbits/sec. The actual bit rate is 1.544 Mbits/sec
+/-50 ppm optionally encoded in B8ZS format. The Zero Suppression control register (page 1, address 15H,)
selects either B8ZS encoding, forced one stuffing or alternate mark inversion (AMI) encoding. Basic frames are
divided into 24 time slots numbered 1 to 24. Each time slot is 8 bits in length and is transmitted most significant
bit first (numbered bit 1). This results in a single time slot data rate of 8 bits x 8000/sec. = 64 kbits/sec.
24
Preliminary InformationMT9076
It should be noted that the Mitel ST-BUS has 32 channels numbered 0 to 31. When mapping to the DS1
payload only the first 24 time slots and the last (time slot 31, for the overhead bit) of an ST-BUS are used (see
Table 6). All unused channels are tristate.
When signaling information is written to the MT9076 in T1 mode using ST-BUS control links (as opposed to
direct writes by the microport to the on - board signaling registers), the CSTi channels corresponding to the
selected DSTi channels streams are used to transmit the signaling bits.
Since the maximum number of signaling bits associated with any channel is 4 (in the case of ABCD), only half
a CSTi channel is required for sourcing the signaling bits. The choice of which half of the channel to use is
selected by the control bit MSN (page 01H address 14H). The same control bit selects which half of the CSTo
channel will contain receive signaling information (the other nibble in the channel being tristate). Unused
channels are tristate.
The most significant bit of an eight bit ST-BUS channel is numbered bit 7 (see Mitel Application Note MSAN-
126). Therefore, ST-BUS bit 7 is synonymous with DS1 bit 1; bit 6 with bit 2: and so on.
DS1 Timeslots12345678910111213141516
In T1 mode, DS1 trunks contain 24 bytes of serial voice/data channels bundled with an o verhead bit. The frame
overhead bit contains a fixed repeating pattern used to enable DS1 receivers to deliniate frame boundaries.
Overhead bits are inserted once per frame at the beginning of the transmit frame boundary. The DS1 frames
are further grouped in bundles of frames, generally 12 (for D4 applications) or 24 frames (for ESF - extended
superframe applications) deep. Table 7 and 8 illustrate the D4 and ESF frame structures respectively.
For D4 links the frame structure contains an alternating 101010... pattern inser ted into every second overhead
bit position. These bits are intended for determination of frame boundaries, and they are referred to as Ft bits.
A separate fixed pattern, repeating every superframe, is interleaved with the Ft bits. This fixed pattern
(001110), is used to deliniate the 12 frame superframe. These bits are referred to as the Fs bits. In D4 frames
# 6 and #12, the LSB of each channel byte may be replaced with A bit (frame #6) and B bit (frame #12)
signaling information.

Table 6 - ST-BUS vs. DS1 to Channel Relationship(T1)
For ESF links the 6 bit framing pattern 001011, inserted into every 4th overhead bit position, is used to
deliniate both frame and superframe boundaries. Frames #6, 12, 18 and 24 contain the A, B, C and D signaling
bits, respectively. A 4 kHz data link is embedded in the overhead bit position, interleaved between the framing
pattern sequence (FPS) and the transmit CRC-6 remainder (from the calculation done on the previous
superframe), see Table 8.
The SLC-96 frame structure is similar to the D4 frame structure, except a facility management overlay is
superimposed over the erstwhile Fs bits, see Table 9.
The protocol appropriate for the application is selected via the Framing Mode Selection Word, address 10H of
Master Control page 1. In T1 mode, MT9076 is capable of generating the overhead bit framing pattern and (for
ESF links) the CRC remainder for transmission onto the DS1 trunk. The beginning of the transmit multiframe
may be determined by any of the following criteria:
25
MT9076Preliminary Information
(i) It may free - run with the internal multiframe counters;
(ii) The multiframe counters may be reset with the external hardware pin TxMF. If this signal is not
synchronous with the current transmit frame count it may cause the far end to go temporarily out of sync.
(iii) Under software control (by setting the TxSYNC bit in page 01 address 12H) the transmit multiframe
counters will be synchronized to the framing pattern present in the overhead bits multiplexed into channel
31 bit 0 of the incoming 2.048 Mb/s digital stream DSTi. Note that the overhead bits extracted from the
receive signal are multiplexed into outgoing DSTo channel 31 bit 0.
(iv) In SLC - 96 mode the transmit frame counters synchronize to the framing pattern clocked in on the TXDL
