1. ACRONYMS
The following abbreviations are used throughout this data sheet:
FAS Frame Alignment Signal
CAS Channel Associated Signaling
MF Multiframe
Si International Bits
CRC4 Cyclical Redundancy Check
CCS Common Channel Signaling
Sa Additional bits
E-Bit CRC4 Error Bits
LOC Loss of Clock
TCLK This generally refers to the transmit rate clock and can reference an actual input signal to the
device (TCLK) or an internally derived signal used for transmission.
RCLK This generally refers to the recovered network clock and can be a reference to an actual output
signal from the device or an internal signal.
2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The LIU is composed of a transmit interface, receive interface, and a jitter attenuator. The transmit interface
generates the necessary waveshapes for driving the network, depending on the type of media used. E1 waveform
generation includes G.703 waveshapes for both 75W coax and 120W twisted cables. The receive interface recovers
clock and data from the network. The receive sensitivity adjusts automatically to the incoming signal. The jitter
attenuator removes phase jitter from the transmitted or received signal. The crystal-less jitter attenuator only
requires a 2.048MHz MCLK and can be placed in either the transmit or receive data paths. An additional feature of
the LIU is a code mark inversion (CMI) coder/decoder for interfacing to optical networks.
On the transmit side, the backplane interface section provides clock/data and frame-sync signals to the framer. The
framer inserts the appropriate synchronization framing patterns, alarm information, calculates and inserts the CRC
codes, and provides the HDB3 (zero code suppression) and alternate mark inversion (AMI) line coding. The
receive-side framer decodes AMI and HDB3 line coding, synchronizes to the data stream, reports alarm
information, counts framing/coding/CRC errors, and provides clock/data and frame-sync signals to the backplane
interface section.
The backplane interface provides a versatile method of sending and receiving data from the host system. The
receive elastic store provides a method for interfacing to asynchronous systems. The elastic store also manages
slip conditions (asynchronous interface). An interleave bus option (IBO) is provided to allow multiple E1 lines to
share a high-speed backplane.
The parallel port provides access for control and configuration of all the DS21Q59’s features. Diagnostic
capabilities include loopbacks, PRBS pattern generation/detection, and 16-bit loop-up and loop-down code
generation and detection. The device fully meets all the latest E1 specifications, including ITU-T G.703, G.704,
G.706, G.823, G.732 and I.431 ETS 300 011, ETS 300 233, and ETS 300 166 as well as CTR12 and CTR4.
The DS21Q59 is optimized for high-density termination of E1 lines. Two significant features are included for this
type of application: the IBO and a system clock synthesizer feature. The IBO allows up to eight E1 data streams to
be multiplexed onto a single high-speed PCM bus without additional external logic. The system clock synthesizer
allows any of the E1 lines to be selected as the master source of the clock for the system and for all the
transmitters. This is also accomplished without the need of external logic. Each of the four transceivers has a clock
and data jitter attenuator that can be assigned to either the transmit or receive path. In addition there is a single,
undedicated clock jitter attenuator that can be hardware configured as needed by the user. Each transceiver also
contains a PRBS pattern generator and detector. Figure 23-1 shows a simplified typical application that terminates
eight E1 lines (transmit and receive pairs) and combines the data into a single 16.384MHz PCM bus. The
16.384MHz system clock is derived and phase-locked to one of the eight E1 lines. On the receive side of each port,
an elastic store provides logical management of any slip conditions due to the asynchronous relationship of the
eight E1 lines. In this application all eight transmitters are timed to the selected E1 line.

5. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The analog AMI/HDB3 waveform off the E1 line is transformer-coupled into the DS21Q59’s RRING and RTIP pins.
The device recovers clock and data from the analog signal and passes it through the jitter attenuation mux to the
receive framer, where the digital serial stream is analyzed to locate the framing/multiframe pattern. The DS21Q59
contains an active filter that reconstructs the analog-received signal for the nonlinear losses that occur in
transmission. The device has a usable receive sensitivity of 0dB to -43dB, which allows the device to operate on
cables over 2km in length. The receive framer locates FAS frame and CRC and CAS multiframe boundaries as well
as detects incoming alarms including carrier loss, loss of synchronization, AIS, and remote alarm. If needed, the
receive elastic store can be enabled to absorb the phase and frequency differences between the recovered E1
data stream and an asynchronous backplane clock, which is provided at the SYSCLK input. The clock applied at
the SYSCLK input can be either a 2.048MHz/4.096MHz/8.192MHz or 16.384MHz clock. The transmit framer is
independent of the receive framer in both the clock requirements and characteristics. The transmit formatter
provides the necessary frame/multiframe data overhead for E1 transmission.
Note: This data sheet assumes a particular nomenclature of the E1 operating environment. In each 125ms frame,
there are 32 8-bit time slots numbered 0 to 31. Time slot 0 is transmitted first and received first. These 32 time slots
are also referred to as channels with a numbering scheme of 1 to 32. Time slot 0 is identical to channel 1, time slot
1 is identical to channel 2, and so on. Each time slot (or channel) is made up of eight bits that are numbered 1 to 8.
Bit number 1, MSB, is transmitted first. Bit number 8, the LSB, is transmitted last. The term “locked” is used to refer
to two clock signals that are phase-locked or frequency-locked or derived from a common clock (i.e., an 8.192MHz
clock can be locked to a 2.048MHz clock if they share the same 8kHz component).

6. HOST INTERFACE PORT
The DS21Q59 is controlled through either a nonmultiplexed bus, a multiplexed bus, or serial interface bus by an
external microcontroller or microprocessor. The device can operate with either Intel or Motorola bus timing
configurations. See Table 6-A for a description of the bus configurations. Motorola bus signals are listed in
parentheses (). See the timing diagrams in the AC Electrical Characteristics in Section 26 for more details.

0 0 1 Intel Nonmultiplexed
1 0 0 Motorola Multiplexed
1 0 1 Motorola Nonmultiplexed
X 1 0 Serial
X 1 1 TEST (Outputs High-Z)
6.1 Parallel Port Operation
When using the parallel interface on the DS21Q59 (BTS1 = 0) the user has the option for either multiplexed bus
operation (BTS1 = 0, BTS0 = 0) or nonmultiplexed bus operation (BTS1 = 0, BTS0 = 1). The DS21Q59 can operate
with either Intel or Motorola bus timing configurations. If the PBTS pin is wired low, Intel timing is selected; if wired
high, Motorola timing is selected. All Motorola bus signals are listed in parentheses (). See the timing diagrams in
Section 26 for more details.
6.2 Serial Port Operation
Setting the BTS1 pin = 1 and BTS0 pin = 0 enables the serial bus interface on the DS21Q59. Port read/write timing
is unrelated to the system transmit and receive timing, allowing asynchronous reads or writes by the host. See
Section 26 for the AC timing of the serial port. All serial port accesses are LSB first. See Figure 6-1, Figure 6-2,
Figure 6-3, and Figure 6-4 for more details.
Reading or writing to the internal registers requires writing one address/command byte prior to transferring register
data. The first bit written (LSB) of the address/command byte specifies whether the access is a read (1) or a write
(0). The next five bits identify the register address. The next bit is reserved and must be set to 0 for proper
operation. The last bit (MSB) of the address/command byte enables the burst mode when set to 1. The burst mode
causes all registers to be consecutively written or read.
All data transfers are initiated by driving the CS input low. When input-clock edge select (ICES) is low, input data is
latched on the rising edge of SCLK; when ICES is high, input data is latched on the falling edge of SCLK. When
output-clock edge select (OCES) is low, data is output on the falling edge of SCLK; when OCES is high, data is
output on the rising edge of SCLK. Data is held until the next falling or rising edge. All data transfers are terminated
if the CS input transitions high. Port control logic is disabled and SDO is tri-stated when CS is high.

Note 1: The device ID register and the system clock-interface control register exist in Transceiver 1 only (TS0, TS1 = 0).
Note 2: Only the factory uses the test register; this register must be cleared (set to all zeros) on power-up initialization to ensure proper
operation.
8. CONTROL, ID, AND TEST REGISTERS
The DS21Q59 operation is configured through a set of nine control registers. Typically, registers are only accessed
when the system is first powered up. Once the device has been initialized, the control registers only need to be
accessed when there is a change in the system configuration. There is one receive control register (RCR), one
transmit control register (TCR), and seven common control registers (CCR1 to CCR7). Each of these registers is
described in this section.
Address 0Fh has a device identification register (IDR). The four MSBs of this read-only register are fixed to 1 0 0 1,
indicating that a DS21Q59 E1 quad transceiver is present. The lower 4 bits of the IDR are used to identify the
revision of the device. This register exists in Transceiver 1 only (TS0, TS1 = 0).
The factory in testing the DS21Q59 uses the test register at addresses 1E. On power-up, the test register should
be set to 00h for the DS21Q59 to properly operate.

8.1 Power-Up Sequence
On power-up and after the supplies are stable, the DS21Q59 should be configured for operation by writing to all the
internal registers (this includes setting the test register to 00h) since the contents of the internal registers cannot be
predicted on power-up. The LIRST (CCR5.4) should be toggled from 0 to 1 to reset the line interface circuitry. (It
takes the device about 40ms to recover from the LIRST bit being toggled.) After the SYSCLK input is stable, the
ESR bits (CCR4.5 and CCR4.6) should be toggled from 0 to 1 (this step can be skipped if the elastic store is
disabled).

in testing and debugging applications. In FLB mode, the SCT loops data from the transmitter back to the receiver.
When FLB is enabled, the following occurs:
1) Data is transmitted as normal at TPOSO and TNEGO.
2) Data input through RPOSI and RNEGI is ignored.

8.3 Automatic Alarm Generation
The device can be programmed to automatically transmit AIS or remote alarm. When automatic AIS generation is
enabled (CCR2.5 = 1), the device monitors the receive framer to determine if any of the following conditions are
present: loss-of-receive frame synchronization, AIS alarm (all ones) reception, or loss-of-receive carrier (or signal).
If one (or more) of these conditions is present, the framer forces an AIS alarm.
When automatic RAI generation is enabled (CCR2.4 = 1), the receiver is monitored to determine if any of the
following conditions are present: loss-of-receive frame synchronization, AIS alarm (all ones) reception, or loss-of-
receive carrier (or signal), or if CRC4 multiframe synchronization cannot be found within 128ms of FAS
synchronization (if CRC4 is enabled). If one (or more) of these conditions is present, the device transmits an RAI
alarm. RAI generation conforms to ETS 300 011 specifications, and a constant remote alarm is transmitted if the
DS21Q59 cannot find CRC4 multiframe synchronization within 400ms as per G.706.

8.4 Remote Loopback
When CCR4.7 is set to 1, the DS21Q59 is forced into remote loopback (RLB) mode. In this loopback, data input
through the RPOSI and RNEGI pins is transmitted back to the TPOSO and TNEGO pins. Data continues to pass
through the DS21Q59’s receive framer as it would normally and the data from the transmit formatter is ignored
(Figure 3-1).

8.5 Local Loopback
When CCR4.6 is set to 1, the DS21Q59 is forced into local loopback (LLB) mode. In this loopback, data continues
to be transmitted as normal. Data being received at RTIP and RRING is replaced with the data being transmitted.
Data in this loopback passes through the jitter attenuator (Figure 3-1).

9. STATUS AND INFORMATION REGISTERS
The DS21Q59 has a set of four registers that contain information about a framer’s real-time status. The registers
include status register 1 (SR1), status register 2 (SR2), receive information register (RIR), and synchronizer status
register (SSR).
When a particular event has occurred (or is occurring), the appropriate bit in one of these four registers is set to 1.
All the bits in the SR1, SR2, and RIR1 registers operate in a latched fashion. The SSR contents are not latched,
which means that if an event or an alarm occurs and a bit is set to 1 in any of the registers, the bit remains set until
the user reads that bit. The bit is cleared when it is read and is not set again until the event has occurred again (or,
in the case of the RUA1, RRA, RCL, and RLOS alarms, the bit remains set if the alarm is still present).
The user always precedes a read of the SR1, SR2, and RIR registers with a write. The byte written to the register
informs the framer which bits the user wishes to read and have cleared. The user writes a byte to one of these
registers with a 1 in the bit positions he or she wishes to read and a 0 in the bit positions he or she does not wish to
obtain the latest information on. When a 1 is written to a bit location, the read register updates with the latest
information. When a 0 is written to a bit position, the read register does not update and the previous value is held.
A write to the status and information registers is immediately followed by a read of the same register. The read
result should be logically ANDed with the mask byte that was just written, and this value should be written back into
the same register to ensure the bit clears. This second write step is necessary because the alarms and events in
the status registers occur asynchronously in respect to their access through the parallel port. This write-read-write
scheme allows an external microcontroller or microprocessor to individually poll certain bits without disturbing the
other bits in the register. This operation is key in controlling the DS21Q59 with higher-order software languages.
The SSR register operates differently than the other three. It is a read-only register and reports the status of the
synchronizer in real time. This register is not latched and it is not necessary to precede a read of this register with a
write.
The SR1 and SR2 registers have the unique ability to initiate a hardware interrupt through the INT output pin. Each
of the alarms and events in SR1 and SR2 can be either masked or unmasked from the interrupt pin through
interrupt mask register 1 (IMR1) and interrupt mask register 2 (IMR2).
The interrupts caused by alarms in SR1 (RUA1, RRA, RCL, and RLOS) act differently than the interrupts caused
by events in SR1 and SR2 (RSA1, RDMA, RSA0, RSLIP, RMF, TMF, SEC, TAF, LOTC, and RCMF). The alarm-
caused interrupts force the INT pin low whenever the alarm changes state (i.e., the alarm goes active or inactive
according to the set/clear criteria in Table 9-A). The INT pin is allowed to return high (if no other interrupts are
present) when the user reads the alarm bit that caused the interrupt to occur, even if the alarm is still present.
The event-based interrupts force the INT pin low when the event occurs. The INT pin returns high () when the user
reads the event bit that caused the interrupt to occur. Furthermore, some event-based interrupts occur continuously
as long as the event is occurring (RSLIP, SEC, TMF, RMF, TAF, RAF, RCMF). Other event-based interrupts force
the INT pin low only once when the event is first detected (LOTC, PRSBD, RDMA, RSA1, RSA0), that is, the
PRBSD interrupt fires once when the receiver detects the PRBS pattern. If the receiver continues to receive the
PRBS pattern, no more interrupts are fired. If the receiver then detects that PRBS is no longer being sent, it resets
and, when it receives the PRBS pattern again, another interrupt is fired.

The CRC4 sync counter increments each time the 8ms CRC4 multiframe search times out. The counter is cleared

disabling the CRC4 mode (CCR1.0 = 0). This counter is useful for determining the amount of time the framer has
been searching for synchronization at the CRC4 level. ITU G.706 suggests that if synchronization at the CRC4
level cannot be obtained within 400ms, the search should be abandoned and proper action taken. The CRC4 sync
counter rolls over.

10. ERROR COUNT REGISTERS
Each DS21Q59 transceiver contains a set of four counters that record bipolar (BPVs) or code violations (CVs),
errors in the CRC4 SMF codewords, E bits as reported by the far end, and word errors in the FAS. The E-bit
counter is reconfigured for counting errors in the PRBS pattern if receive PRBS is enabled. Each of these four
counters is automatically updated on either one-second boundaries (CCR2.70 = 0) or every 62.5ms (CCR2.7 = 1)
as determined by the timer in status register 2 (SR2.4). Hence, these registers contain performance data from
either the previous second or the previous 62.5ms. The user can use the interrupt from the one-second timer to
determine when to read these registers. The user has a full second (or 62.5ms) to read the counters before the
data is lost. The counters saturate at their respective maximum counts and do not roll over.
10.1 BPV or CV Counter
Violation count register 1 (VCR1) is the most significant word and VCR2 is the least significant word of a 16-bit
counter that records either BPVs or CVs. If CCR2.6 = 0, the VCR counts BPVs. BPVs are defined as consecutive
marks of the same polarity. In this mode, if the HDB3 mode is set for the receiver through CCR1.2, then HDB3
codewords are not counted as BPVs. If CCR2.6 = 1, the VCR counts CVs as defined in ITU O.161. CVs are
defined as consecutive BPVs of the same polarity. In most applications, the framer should be programmed to count
BPVs when receiving AMI code and to count CVs when receiving HDB3 code. This counter increments at all times
and is not disabled by loss-of-sync conditions. The counter saturates at 65,535 and does not roll over. The bit-error
rate on an E1 line would have to be greater than 10-2 before the VCR would saturate.

10.2 CRC4 Error Counter
CRC4 count register 1 (CRCCR1) is the most significant word and CRCCR2 is the least significant word of a 16-bit
counter that records word errors in the cyclic redundancy check 4 (CRC4). Since the maximum CRC4 count in a
one-second period is 1000, this counter cannot saturate. The counter is disabled during loss of sync at either the
FAS or CRC4 level; it continues to count if loss-of-multiframe sync occurs at the CAS level. CRCCR1 and
CRCCR2 have an alternate function.

10.3 E-Bit/PRBS Bit-Error Counter
E-bit count register 1 (EBCR1) is the most significant word and EBCR2 is the least significant word of a 16-bit
counter that records far-end block errors (FEBE) as reported in the first bit of frames 13 and 15 on E1 lines running
with CRC4 multiframe. These error count registers increment once each time the received E-bit is set to 0. Since
the maximum E-bit count in a one-second period is 1000, this counter cannot saturate. The counter is disabled
during loss of sync at either the FAS or CRC4 level; it continues to count if loss-of-multiframe sync occurs at the
CAS level.
Alternately, this counter counts bit errors in the received PRBS pattern when the receive PRBS function is enabled.
In this mode, the counter is active when the receive PRBS detector can synchronize to the PRBS pattern. This
pattern can be framed, unframed, or in any time slot. See Section 13 for more details.

FAS count register 1 (FASCR1) is the most significant word and FASCR2 is the least significant word of a 16-bit
counter that records word errors in the FAS in time slot 0. This counter is disabled when RLOS is high. FAS errors
are not counted when the framer is searching for FAS alignment and/or synchronization at either the CAS or CRC4
multiframe level. Since the maximum FAS word error count in a one-second period is 4000, this counter cannot
saturate.

11. SIGNALING OPERATION
Registers SA1 and SA16 are used to access the transmit and receive signaling function. Normally, reading these
registers accesses the receive signaling data and writing these registers sources signaling data for the transmitter.
The user can read what was written to the transmit signaling buffer by setting CCR6.5 = 1, then reading
SA1–SA16. In most applications, however, CCR6.5 should be set = 0.
11.1 Receive Signaling
Signaling data is sampled from time slot 16 in the receive data stream and copied into the receive signaling buffers.
The host can access the signaling data by reading SA1 through SA16. The signaling information in these registers
is always updated on multiframe boundaries. The SR2.7 bit in status register 2 can be used to alert the host that
new signaling data is present in the receive signaling buffers. The host has 2ms to read the signaling buffers before
they are updated.
11.2 Transmit Signaling
Insertion of signaling data from the transmit signaling buffers is enabled by setting CCR6.3 = 1. Signaling data is
loaded into the transmit signaling buffers by writing the signaling data to SA1–SA16. On multiframe boundaries, the
contents of the transmit signaling buffer is loaded into a shift register for placement in the appropriate bit position in
the outgoing data stream. The user can use the transmit multiframe interrupt in status register 2 (SR2.5) to know
when to update the signaling bits. The host has 2ms to update the signaling data. The user only needs to update
the signaling data that has changed since the last update.
11.3 CAS Operation
For CAS mode, the user must provide the CAS alignment pattern (four 0s in the upper nibble of TS16). Typically
this is done by setting the upper four bits of SA1 = 0. The lower four bits are alarm bits. The user only needs to
update the appropriate channel associated signaling data in SA2–SA16 on multiframe boundaries.

12. DS0 MONITORING FUNCTION
Each DS21Q59 framer can monitor one DS0 (64kbps) channel in the transmit direction and one DS0 channel in the
receive direction at the same time. In the transmit direction, the user determines which channel is to be monitored
by properly setting the TCM0 to TCM4 bits in the CCR3 register. In the receive direction, the RCM0 to RCM4 bits in
the CCR4 register need to be properly set. The DS0 channel pointed to by the TCM0 to TCM4 bits appear in the
transmit DS0 monitor (TDS0M) register and the DS0 channel pointed to by the RCM0 to RCM4 bits appear in the
receive DS0 (RDS0M) register. The TCM4 to TCM0 and RCM4 to RCM0 bits should be programmed with the
decimal decode of the appropriate E1 channel. For example, if DS0 channel 6 in the transmit direction and DS0
channel 15 in the receive direction needed to be monitored, then the following values would be programmed into
CCR4 and CCR5:
TCM4 = 0 RCM4 = 0
TCM3 = 0 RCM3 = 1
TCM2 = 1 RCM2 = 1
TCM1 = 0 RCM1 = 1
TCM0 = 1 RCM0 = 0

13. PRBS GENERATION AND DETECTION
The DS21Q59 can transmit and receive the 215 - 1 PRBS pattern. This PRBS pattern complies with ITU-T O.151
specifications. The PRBS pattern can be unframed (in all 256 bits of the frame), framed (in all time slots except
TS0), or in any single time slot. Register CCR5 contains the control bits for configuring the transmit and receives
PRBS functions. See Table 13-A and Table 13-B for selecting the transmit and receive modes of operation. In
transmit and receive mode 1 operation, the transmit- and receive-channel monitor-select bits of registers CCR3
and CCR4 have an alternate use. When this mode is selected, these bits determine which time slot transmits
and/or receives the PRBS pattern.
SR2.0 indicates when the receiver has synchronized to the PRBS pattern. The PRBS synchronizer remains in sync
until it experiences six or more bit errors within a 64-bit span. Choosing any receive mode other than NORMAL
causes the 16-bit E-bit error counter—EBCR1 and EBCR2—to be reconfigured for counting PRBS errors.
User-definable outputs OUTA or OUTB can be configured to output a pulse for every bit error received. See
Section 20 and Table 20-A for details. This signal can be used with external circuitry to keep track of bit-error rates
during PRBS testing. Once synchronized, any bit errors received cause a positive-going pulse, synchronous with
RCLK.

14. SYSTEM CLOCK INTERFACE
A single system clock interface (SCI) is common to all four DS21Q59 transceivers. The SCI is designed to allow
any one of the four receivers to act as the master reference clock for the system. When multiple DS21Q59s are
used to build an N port system, the SCI allows any one of the N ports to be the master. The selected reference is
then distributed to the other DS21Q59s through the REFCLK pin. The REFCLK pin acts as an output on the
DS21Q59, which has been selected to provide the reference clock from one of its four receivers. On DS21Q59s not
selected to source the reference clock, this pin becomes an input by writing 0s to the SCSx bits. The reference
clock is also passed to the clock synthesizer PLL to generate a 2.048MHz, 4.096MHz, 8.192MHz, or 16.384MHz
clock. This clock can then be used with the IBO function to merge up to eight E1 lines onto a single high-speed
PCM bus. In the event that the master E1 port fails (enters a receive carrier loss condition), that port automatically
switches to the clock present on the MCLK pin. Therefore, MCLK acts as the backup source of master clock. The
host can then find and select a functioning E1 port as the master. Because the selected port’s clock is passed to
the other DS21Q59s in a multiple device configuration, one DS21Q59’s synthesizer can always be the source of
the high-speed clock. This allows smooth transitions when clock-source switching occurs. The SCI control register
exists in Transceiver 1 only (TS0, TS1 = 0).

15. TRANSMIT CLOCK SOURCE
Depending on the DS21Q59’s operating mode, the transmit clock can be derived from different sources. In a basic
configuration, where the IBO function is disabled, the transmit clock is normally sourced from the TCLK pin. In this
mode, a 2.048MHz clock with ±50ppm accuracy is applied to the TCLK pin. If the signal at TCLK is lost, the
DS21Q59 automatically switches to either the system reference clock present on the REFCLK pin or to the
recovered clock off the same port, depending on which source the host assigned as the backup clock. At the same
time the host can be notified of the loss-of-transmit clock through an interrupt. The host can at any time force a
switchover to one of the two backup clock sources regardless of the state of the TCLK pin.
When the IBO function is enabled, the transmit clock must be synchronous to the system clock since slips are not
allowed in the transmit direction. In this mode, the TCLK pin is ignored, and a transmit clock is automatically
provided by the IBO circuit by dividing the clock present on the SYSCLK pin by 2, 4, or 8. In this configuration, if the
signal present on the SYSCLK pin is lost, the DS21Q59 automatically switches to either the system reference clock
or to the recovered clock off the same port, depending on which source the host assigned as the backup clock. The
host can at any time force a switchover to one of the two backup clock sources regardless of the state of the
SYSCLK pin.
16. IDLE CODE INSERTION
The transmit idle registers (TIR1/2/3/4) determine which of the 32 E1 channels should be overwritten with the code
placed in the transmit idle definition register (TIDR). This allows the same 8-bit code to be placed into any of the 32
E1 channels. Each of the bit positions in the transmit idle registers represents a DS0 channel in the outgoing frame.
When these bits are set to 1, the corresponding channel transmits the idle code contained in the TIDR.

17. PER-CHANNEL LOOPBACK
The DS21Q59 has per-channel loopback capability that can operate in one of two modes: remote per-channel
loopback or local per-channel loopback. PCLB1/2/3/4 are used for both modes to determine which channels are
looped back. In remote per-channel loopback mode, PCLB1/2/3/4 determine which channels (if any) in the transmit
direction should be replaced with the data from the receiver or, in other words, off the E1 line. In local per-channel
loopback mode, PCLB1/2/3/4 determine which channels (if any) in the receive direction should be replaced with the
data from the transmit. If either mode is enabled, transmit and receive clocks and frame syncs must be
synchronized. There are no restrictions on which channels can be looped back or on how many channels can be
looped back.

18. ELASTIC STORE OPERATION
The DS21Q59 contains a two-frame (512 bits) elastic store for the receive direction. The elastic store is used to
absorb the differences in frequency and phase between the E1 data stream and an asynchronous (i.e., not
frequency locked) backplane clock that can be 2.048MHz for normal operation or 4.096MHz, 8.192MHz, or
16.384MHz when using the IBO function. The elastic store contains full controlled slip capability.
If the receive elastic store is enabled (RCR.4 = 1), the user must provide a 2.048MHz clock to the SYSCLK pin. If
the IBO function is enabled, a 4.096MHz, 8.192MHz, or 16.384MHz clock must be provided at the SYSCLK pin.
The user has the option of either providing a frame/multiframe sync at the RSYNC pin (RCR.5 = 1) or having the
RSYNC pin provide a pulse on frame/multiframe boundaries (RCR.5 = 0). If the user wishes to obtain pulses at the
frame boundary, RCR1.6 must be set to 0; if the user wishes to have pulses occur at the multiframe boundary,
RCR1.6 must be set to 1. If the elastic store is enabled, either CAS (RCR.7 = 0) or CRC4 (RCR.7 = 1) multiframe
boundaries are indicated through the RSYNC output. See Section 24 for timing details. If the 512-bit elastic buffer
either fills or empties, a controlled slip occurs. If the buffer empties, a full frame of data (256 bits) is repeated at
RSER, and the SR1.4 and RIR.3 bits are set to 1. If the buffer fills, a full frame of data is deleted, and the SR1.4
and RIR.4 bits are set to 1.

19. ADDITIONAL (Sa) AND INTERNATIONAL (Si) BIT OPERATION
On the receiver, the RAF and RNAF registers always report the data as it is received in the additional (Sa) and
international (Si) bit locations. The RAF and RNAF registers are updated with the setting of the receive align frame
bit in status register 2 (SR2.6). The host can use the SR2.6 bit to know when to read the RAF and RNAF registers.
It has 250ms to retrieve the data before it is lost.
On the transmitter, data is sampled from the TAF and TNAF registers with the setting of the transmit align frame bit
in status register 2 (SR2.3). The host can use the SR2.3 bit to know when to update the TAF and TNAF registers. It
has 250ms to update the data or else the old data is retransmitted. Data in the Si bit position is overwritten if either
the framer is programmed (1) to source the Si bits from the TSER pin, (2) in the CRC4 mode, or if the framer (3)
has automatic E-bit insertion enabled. Data in the Sa bit position is overwritten if any of the TCR.3–TCR.7 bits are
set to 1. Please see the TCR register descriptions for more details.

20. USER-CONFIGURABLE OUTPUTS
There are two user-configurable output pins for each transceiver, OUTA and OUTB. These pins can be
programmed to output various clocks, alarms for line monitoring, or logic 0 and 1 levels to control external circuitry.
They can also be used to access transmit data between the framer and transmit LIU. OUTA and OUTB can be
active low or active high when operating as clock and alarm outputs. OUTA is active high if OUTAC.4 = 1 and
active low if OUTAC.3 = 0. OUTB is active high if OUTBC.4 = 1 and active low if OUTBC.4 = 0 (Table 20-A). Select
mode 0000 to control external circuitry. In this configuration, the OUTA pin follows OUTAC.4 and the OUTB pin
follows OUTBC.4. The OUTAC register also contains a control bit for CMI operation. See Section 22 for details

21. LINE INTERFACE UNIT
The line interface unit contains three sections: the receiver, which handles clock and data recovery; the transmitter,
which waveshapes and drives the E1 line; and the jitter attenuator. The line interface control register (LICR),
described below, controls each of these three sections.

21.1 Receive Clock and Data Recovery
The DS21Q59 contains a digital clock recovery system. (See Figure 3-1 and Figure 21-1 for more details.) The
device couples to the receive E1 shielded twisted pair or coax through a 1:1 transformer (Table 21-B). The
2.048MHz clock attached at the MCLK pin is internally multiplied by 16 through an internal PLL and fed to the clock
recovery system. The clock recovery system uses the clock from the PLL circuit to form a 16 times oversampler,
which is used to recover the clock and data. This oversampling technique offers outstanding jitter tolerance
(Figure 21-4).
Normally, RCLK is the recovered clock from the E1 AMI/HDB3 waveform presented at the RTIP and RRING inputs.
When no AMI signal is present at RTIP and RRING, an RCL condition occurs and the RCLK is sourced from the
clock applied at the MCLK pin. If the jitter attenuator is either placed in the transmit path or is disabled, RCLK can
exhibit slightly shorter high cycles of the clock. This is because of the highly oversampled digital clock recovery
circuitry. If the jitter attenuator is placed in the receive path (as is the case in most applications), the jitter attenuator
restores the RCLK to being close to 50% duty cycle. See Receive AC Characteristics in Section 26.4 for more
details.
21.1.1 Termination
The DS21Q59 is designed to be fully software-selectable for 75W and 120W termination without the need to change
any external resistors. The user can configure the DS21Q59 for 75W or 120W receive termination by setting the
IRTSEL (CCR5.4) bit. When using the internal termination feature, the external termination resistance should be
120W (typically two 60W resistors). Setting IRTSEL = 1 causes the DS21Q59 to internally apply parallel resistance
to the external resistors to adjust the termination to 75W (Figure 21-2).
DS21Q59 Quad E1 Transceiver
48 of 76
21.2 Transmit Waveshaping and Line Driving
The DS21Q59 uses a set of laser-trimmed delay lines and a precision digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to create
the waveforms that are transmitted onto the E1 line. The waveforms meet the ITU G.703 specifications
(Figure 21-3). The user selects which waveform is to be generated by properly programming the L2/L1/L0 bits in
the line interface control register (LICR). The DS21Q59 can be set up in a number of various configurations
depending on the application (Table 21-A).

**See Application Note 336: Transparent Operation on T1, E1 Framers and Transceivers for details on E1 line interface design.
Because of the nature of the transmitter’s design, very little jitter (less than 0.005UIP-P broadband from 10Hz to
100kHz) is added to the jitter present on TCLK (or source used for transmit clock). Also, the waveform created is
independent of the duty cycle of TCLK. The transmitter in the device couples to the E1 transmit-shielded twisted
pair or coax through a 1:2 step-up transformer, as shown in Figure 21-1. For the devices to create the proper
waveforms, the transformer used must meet the specifications listed in Table 21-B. The line driver in the device
contains a current limiter that prevents more than 50mA (RMS) from being sourced in a 1W load.

21.3 Jitter Attenuators
The DS21Q59 contains an on-board clock and data jitter attenuator for each transceiver and a single, undedicated
“clock only” jitter attenuator. This undedicated jitter attenuator is shown in the block diagram (Figure 3-1) as the
alternate jitter attenuator.
21.3.1 Clock and Data Jitter Attenuators
The clock and data jitter attenuators can be mapped into the receive or transmit paths and can be set to buffer
depths of either 32 or 128 bits through the LICR. The 128-bit mode is used in applications where large excursions
of wander are expected. The 32-bit mode is used in delay-sensitive applications. The characteristics of the
attenuators are shown in Figure 21-5. The jitter attenuators can be placed in either the receive path or the transmit
path by appropriately setting or clearing the JAS bit in the LICR. Also, setting the DJA bit in the LICR can disable
the jitter attenuator (in effect, remove it). For the jitter attenuator to operate properly, a 2.048MHz clock (±50ppm)
must be applied at the MCLK pin. On-board circuitry adjusts either the recovered clock from the clock/data
recovery block or the clock applied at the TCLKI pin to create a smooth jitter-free clock that is used to clock data
out of the jitter attenuator FIFO. It is acceptable to provide a gapped/bursty clock at the TCLKI pin if the jitter
attenuator is placed on the transmit side. If the incoming jitter exceeds either 120UIP-P (buffer depth is 128 bits) or
28UIP-P (buffer depth is 32 bits), the DS21Q59 divides the internal nominal 32.768MHz clock by either 15 or 17
instead of the normal 16 to keep the buffer from overflowing. When the device divides by either 15 or 17, it also
sets the jitter attenuator limit trip (JALT) bit in the receive information register (RIR.5).

21.3.2 Undedicated Clock Jitter Attenuator
The undedicated jitter attenuator is useful for preparing a user-supplied clock for use as a transmission clock
(TCLK). AJACKI is the input pin and AJCAKO is the output pin. Clocks generated by certain types of PLL or other
synthesizers can contain too much jitter to be appropriate for transmission. Network requirements limit the amount
of jitter that can be transmitted onto the network. This feature is enabled by setting SC1CR.7 = 1 in Transceiver 1.

22. CODE MARK INVERSION (CMI)
The DS21Q59 provides a CMI interface for connecting to optical transports. This interface is a unipolar 1T2B-
coded signal. Ones are alternately encoded as a logical 1 or 0 level for the full duration of the clock period. Zeros
are encoded as a 0-to-1 transition at the middle of the clock period. Figure 22-1 shows an example data pattern
and its CMI result. The control bit for enabling CMI is in the OUTAC register, as shown below.

Transmit and receive CMI is enabled through OUTAC.7. When this register bit is set, the TTIP pin outputs CMI-
coded data at normal TTL-type levels. This signal can be used to directly drive an optical interface. When CMI is
enabled, the user can also use HDB3 coding.
When this register bit is set, the RTIP pin becomes a unipolar CMI input. The CMI signal is processed to extract
and align the clock with data. The bipolar code-violation counter counts CVs in the CMI signal. CVs are defined as
consecutive 1s of the same polarity, as shown in Figure 22-2. If HDB3 precoding is enabled, the CVs generated by
HDB3 are not counted as errors.

23. INTERLEAVED PCM BUS OPERATION
In many architectures, the PCM outputs of individual framers are combined into higher-speed PCM buses to
simplify transport across the system backplane. The DS21Q59 can be configured to allow PCM data buses to be
multiplexed into higher-speed data buses, eliminating external hardware and saving board space and cost. The
DS21Q59 uses a channel interleave method. See Figure 24-4 and Figure 24-7 for details of the channel interleave.
The interleaved PCM bus option supports three bus speeds. The 4.096MHz bus speed allows two PCM data
streams to share a common bus. The 8.192MHz bus speed allows four PCM data streams to share a common bus.
The 16.384MHz bus speed allows eight PCM data streams to share a common bus. See Figure 23-1 for an
example of four transceivers sharing a common 8.192MHz PCM bus. The receive elastic stores of each transceiver
must be enabled. Through the IBO register the user can configure each transceiver for a specific bus speed and
position. For all IBO bus configurations each transceiver is assigned an exclusive position in the high-speed PCM
bus. When the device is configured for IBO operation, the TSYNCx pin should be configured as an output or as an
input connected to ground. The user cannot supply a TSYNCx signal in this mode. When IBO operation is enabled,
TSYNCx will be internally tied to RSYNCx. If TSYNCx is configured as an input, the physical pin will be
disconnected from the internal TSYNCx signal and should therefore be connected to ground to keep it from
floating.
