The DS3150 performs all the functions necessary for interfacing at the physical layer to T3, E3, and STS1 lines. The device has independent receive and transmit paths (Figure 1A). The receiver performs clock
and data recovery from a B3ZS-code or HDB3-code AMI signal and monitors for loss of the incoming
signal. The recovered data optionally can be B3ZS/HDB3 decoded and output in NRZ format. The
transmitter accepts either NRZ or bipolar data and drives standard pulse-shape waveforms onto 75!
coaxial cable. The receiver and transmitter sections will be discussed separately below. Table 1A lists the
telecommunications standards that the DS3150 was designed to meet.

RECEIVER
The DS3150 interfaces to the receive T3/E3/STS-1 coax line through a 1:2 step-up transformer
(Figure 1B). The receiver automaticall y adapts to coax cable loses from 0d B to 15dB, which translates
into 0m to 380m (T3) or 440m (E3) or 360m (STS-1) of coax cable (AT&T 734A or equivalent). The
receiver also has the ability to interface to monitor jacks. Through the RMON input (Table 2A), the
device can be configured to insert a 20dB flat boost into the incoming signal. Monitor jacks typically
have series resistors that result in a resistive loss of 20dB. The receiver has excellent jitter tolerance
characteristics (Figure 1C).
The receiver contains bot h analog and digital loss-of-signal (LOS) detect ors. The analog LOS detector
resides in the equalizer. If the incoming signal drops below -24dB of the nominal signal level, the a nalog
LOS detector will activate and it will step on the recovered data and force all zeros out of the data
recovery circuitry. The analog LOS detector will not clear until the signal level is above
-18dB of the nominal signal level. The digital LOS detector is activated when it detects 192±1
consecutive zeros. LOS is clear ed when there are no excessive zero occurrences ove r a span of 192±1
clock periods. An excessive zero occurrence is defined as t hree or more consecutive zeros in the T3 and
STS-1 modes and four or more zeros in the E3 mode. The status of the digital LOS is reflected at the
LOS* output (Table 2A). There is no status output available for the analog LOS detector. While the
device is in a LOS state, the RCLK output will be referenced to the MCLK input (or the TC LK input if
MCLK is high/floating or to the internal oscillator if MCLK is tied low). The analog LOS detector has a
longer time constant than the digital LOS. Hence, when the incoming signal is lost, the digital LOS will
activate first followed by the analog LOS detector. When a signal is restored, the digital LOS will not be
allowed to qualify a signal for no excessive zero violations until the analog LOS detector has seen the
signal rise above -18dB. Governing specifications for the LOS detectors are ANSI T1.231 and ITU
G.775.
The recovered data from the receiver can be output in either bipolar format or nonreturn-to -zero (NRZ)
format. To select the bipolar format, the ZCSE* input is tied high. In this format, the B3ZS/HDB3
decoder is disabled and the received data is buffered and then output on the RPOS and RNEG outputs. To
select the NRZ format, the ZCSE* input is tied low. In this format, the B3ZS/HBD3 decoder is enabled
and the recovered data is B3ZS/HDB3 decoded and then logicall y OR’ed together at the RNRZ output,
while the RLCV output indicates line code violations.

TRANSMITTER
Through the ZCSE* input, the device is configured to accept either bipolar data or NRZ data to be input
to the transmitter. When the ZCSE* input is tied high, bipolar data must be applied at the TPOS and
TNEG inputs. In this mode, the device will not perform B3ZS/HDB3-encoding on the outgoing data
stream. When the ZCSE* input is tied low, an NRZ data stream must be applied at the TPOS input
(TNEG is ignored). In this mode, the device will perform B3ZS/HDB3-encoding on the outgoing data
stream.
The clock applied at the TCLK input is used to transmit data onto the T3/E3/STS-1 line. Hence, TCLK
must be of transmission quality (i.e., accurate to ±20ppm). The duty cycle of TCLK is not a key
parameter as long as the clock high and low times listed in Section 3 are met.
The DS3150 also has the ability to generate a number of different patterns, including an unframed all
ones pattern, which is also the E3 AIS signal; a 101010… pattern; or a T3 Alarm Indication Signal (AIS).
See Figure 1E for a description of the T3 AIS. The TDS0 and TDS1 inputs are used to select these
onboard patterns (Tables 2A and 2B).
The DS3150 interfaces to the transmit T3/E3/STS-1 coax cable through a 1:2 step up transformer (Figure
1B). It will drive the 75! cable and create the proper waveforms required for interfacing to T3/E3/STS-1
lines. In T3 and STS-1 modes, the LBO (line build out) pin controls waveform shape. For cable lengths
fewer than 225ft, LBO should be pulled high. For 225ft or more of cable, LBO should be pulled low.
Tables 1C through 1G and Figure 1D detail the waveform template specifications and testing parameters.
The transmitter can be disabled and the Tx+ and Tx- outputs three-stated through the TTS* input (Table
2A).
The transmit driver monitor constantly checks the analog signal output at Tx+ and Tx-. If the output fails,
then the DM* output will be pulled low. When the transmitter is disabled (TTS* = 0), the driver monitor
is also disabled.
