139.264Mbit/s (E4) or 155.52Mbit/s (OC-3, STS-3 or
STM-1) transmission. It is used at the interface to a
75Ω coaxial cable using CMI coding or a fiber optic
module. Interface to digital framer circuits is
accomplished via a serial PECL or parallel CMOS
interface.
The transmitter includes a PLL to multiply the
reference clock to the transmission frequency. The
receiver provides adaptive equalization for accurate
clock and data recovery. The 78P2253 is built in a
BiCMOS technology for high performance and low
power operation. It operates with a 3.3V or 5V power
supply and is packaged in a 64-pin TQFP.

Medium Choices
The CMI/ECL pin selects one of two media for
transmission.
When the CMI/ECL pin is high, the chip is in CMI
mode and a 75Ω coaxial cable is used as the
transmission medium. In this mode, the CMIOUTP
and CMIOUTN pins are active. They connect the
chip to the coaxial cable through a transformer and

matching resistors. In CMI mode the transmitter
shapes the transmit pulses to meet the appropriate
template and the adaptive equalizer corrects the
received signal for dispersive attenuation. The
ECLOUTP and ECLOUTN pins are inoperative and
should be left open.
When the CMI/ECL pin is low the chip is in ECL
mode and a fiber optics transceiver is used. The
output data signal from the pins ECLOUTP and
ECLOUTN have PECL levels. In this mode, the CMI
pins are inoperative and should be left open. The
CMI encoder and decoder are disabled.
TRANSMITTER OPERATION
The transmitter section generates an analog signal
for transmission through a transformer onto the
coaxial cable or fiber optic module.
When the PAR/SER pin is low the chip is in serial
mode. Serial data is input to the 78P2253 on the
TXDTP and TXDTN pins at PECL levels. The data is
timed with the clock generated by the 78P2253 on
the TXCKP and TXCKN pins. In this mode the
8BIT/$BIT pin is ignored.
When the PAR/SER pin is high the chip is in parallel
mode. Parallel data is in put to the 78P2253 on the
TXDT[7:0] pins. The input data is timed with the
clock output from TXCK. When 8BIT/ $BIT is high all
eight bits of TXDT[7:0] are used and the clock
frequency at TXCK is one-eighth the standard
frequency. When 8BIT/$BIT is low the lower four
bits, TXCK[3:0] are used and TXCK is one-fourth the
standard frequency.
The first bit output from the ECL/CMI interface is the
most significant bit on the parallel interface, TXDT7
in eight bit mode, TXDT3 in four bit mode.
The clock is generated by a phase-locked oscillator
(PLO). The PLO is locked to a crystal oscillator
operating at one-eighth of the standard clock
frequency, 19.44MHz for OC-3, STS-3 and STM-1
and 17.408MHz for E4. This is shown in Figure 1a.
An external clock signal at CKIN may also be
substituted for a crystal as the reference frequency
for the chip. In this mode, XTL1 and XTL2 must be
configured as shown in Figure 1b. Note that the chip
can be in either ECL or CMI mode when using either
an external clock or a crystal for the reference. In
serial mode the reference clock is output from
TXCK. In parallel mode, the parallel transmit clock is
output from TXCK.

In ECL mode the data signal is converted to CMI
code by the Binary to CMI encoded.
The HUB/HOST input changes the reference signal
for the clock generator. In the hub mode (HUB/HOST
high), the transmit clock reference is derived from
either the crystal oscillator or CKIN. In host mode
(HUB/HOST low), the transmit clock reference is
derived from the recovered receive clock.
RECEIVER OPERATION
The receiver accepts serial, CMI coded data, at
155.52Mbit/s or 139.264Mbit/s from either the CMI
or the ECL inputs. In CMI mode, the inputs CMIINP
and CMIINN receive the input signal from a coaxial
cable that is transformer-coupled to the chip. The
ECL pins should be left open. In ECL mode, the pins
ECLINP and ECLINN receive the input signal.
In CMI mode, the received signal is equalized for
dispersive cable attenuation and decoded in the CMI
to binary decoder.
A clock signal is recovered using a low jitter PLL
circuit.
The data is converted to binary by the CMI to Binary
decoder.
In serial mode, the received data is output on the
RXDTP and RXDTN pins and the recovered clock is
output on the RXCKP and RXCKN pins.
In parallel mode, the received data is converted to
parallel, eight bits if 8BIT/ $BIT is high and four if it is
low. The first bit received will arrive on the most
significant output pin, RXDT[7] in eight bit mode and
RXDT3 in four bit mode.
The LOS pin goes high when the signal detector
detects a loss-of-signal condition.
LOOPBACK OPERATION
The 78P2253 is capable of performing signal
loopback in two ways The RLBACK pin selects the
remote loopback mode. In this mode, the received
signal is “looped back” and sent out of transmitter in
place of the transmit input signal.
The LLBACK pin selects the local loop-back mode,
and causes the receiver to use the transmitter output
signal as its input. Local loopback is disabled when
HUB/HOST is low or RLBACK is high.
