Description
The MT8941B is a dual digital phase-locked loop
providing the timing and synchronization signals for
the T1 or CEPT transmission links and the ST-BUS.
The first PLL provides the T1 clock (1.544 MHz)
synchronized to the input frame pulse at 8 kHz. The
timing signals for the CEPT transmission link and the
ST-BUS are provided by the second PLL locked to an
internal or an external 8 kHz frame pulse signal.
The MT8941B offers improved jitter performance
over the MT8940. The two devices also have some
functional differences, which are listed in the section
on “Differences between MT8941B and MT8940”.

Functional Description

sampling edge
The MT8941B is a dual digital phase-locked loop
providing the timing and synchronization signals to
the interface circuits for T1 and CEPT (30+2)
Primary Multiplex Digital Transmission links. As
shown in the functional block diagram (see Figure 1),
the MT8941B has two digital phase-locked loops
(DPLLs), associated output controls and the mode
selection logic circuits. The two DPLLs, although
similar in principle, operate independently to provide
T1 (1.544 MHz) and CEPT (2.048 MHz) transmission
clocks and ST-BUS timing signals.
The principle of operation behind the two DPLLs is
shown in Figure 3. A master clock is divided down to
8 kHz where it is compared with the 8 kHz input, and
depending on the output of the phase comparison,
the master clock frequency is corrected.

Figure 3 - DPLL Principle
The MT8941B achieves the frequency correction in
both directions by using three methods; speed-up,
slow-down and no-correction.
As shown in Figure 4, the falling edge of the 8 kHz
input signal (C8Kb for DPLL #2 or F0i for DPLL # 1)
is used to sample the internally generated 8 kHz
clock and the correction signal (CS) once in every
frame (125
µs).
If the sampled CS is “1”, then the
DPLL makes a speed-up or slow-down correction
depending upon the sampled value of the internal 8
kHz signal. A sampled ”0” or “1” causes the
frequency correction circuit to respectively stretch or
shrink the master clock by half a period at one
instant in the frame. If the sampled CS is “0”, then
the DPLL makes no correction on the master clock
input. Note that since the internal 8 kHz signal and
the CS signal are derived from the master clock, a
correction will cause both clocks to stretch or shrink
simultaneously by an amount equal to half the period
of the master clock.
Once in synchronization, the falling edge of the
reference signal (C8Kb or F0i) will be aligned with
either the falling or the rising edge of CS. It is aligned
with the rising edge of CS when the reference signal
is slower than the internal 8 kHz signal. On the other
hand, the falling edge of the
4
The no-correction window size is 324 ns for DPLL #1
and 32
µs
for DPLL #2. It is possible for the relative
phase of the reference signal to swing inside the no-
correction window depending on its jitter and the
relative drift of the master clock. As a result, the
phase relationship between the input signal and the
output clocks (and frame pulse in case of DPLL #2)
may vary up to a maximum of window size. This
situation is illustrated in Figure 4. The maximum
phase variation for DPLL #1 is 324 ns and for DPLL
#2 it is 32µs. However, this phase difference can be
absorbed by the input jitter buffer of Mitel’s T1/CEPT
devices.
The no-correction window acts as a filter for low
frequency jitter and wander since the DPLL does not
track the reference signal inside it. The size of the
no-correction window is less than or equal to the size
of the input jitter buffer on the T1 and CEPT devices
to guarantee that no slip will occur in the received
T1/CEPT frame.
The circuit will remain in synchronization as long as
the input frequency is within the lock-in range of the
DPLLs (refer to the section on “Jitter Performance
and Lock-in Range” for further details). The lock-in
range is wide enough to meet the CCITT line rate
specification (1.544 MHz
±32
ppm and 2.048 MHz
±50
ppm) for the High Capacity Terrestrial Digital
Service.
The phase sampling is done once in a frame (8 kHz)
for each DPLL. The divisions are set at 8 and 193 for
DPLL #1, which locks to the falling edge of the input
CMOS
at 8 kHz to generate T1 (1.544 MHz) clock. For
DPLL #2, the divisions are set at 8 and 256 to
provide the CEPT/ST-BUS clock at 2.048 MHz
synchronized to the falling edge of the input signal (8
kHz). The master clock source is specified to be
12.352 MHz for DPLL #1 and 16.384 MHz for DPLL
#2 over the entire temperature range of operation.
The inputs MS0 to MS3 are used to select the
operating mode of the MT8941B, see Tables 1 to 4.
All the outputs are controlled to the high impedance
condition by their respective enable controls. The
uncommitted NAND gate is available for use in
applications involving Mitel’s MT8976/ MH89760 (T1
Interfaces)
and
MT8979/MH89790
(CEPT
Interfaces).

Modes of Operation
The operation of the MT8941B is categorized into
major modes and minor modes. The major modes
are defined for both DPLLs by the mode select pins
MS0 and MS1. The minor modes are selected by
pins MS2 and MS3 and are applicable only to DPLL
#2. There are no minor modes for DPLL #1.
Major modes of DPLL #1
DPLL #1 can be operated in three major modes as
selected by MS0 and MS1 (Table 1). When MS1 is
LOW, it is in NORMAL mode, which provides a T1
(1.544 MHz) clock signal locked to the falling edge
of the input frame pulse F0i (8 kHz). DPLL #1
requires a master clock input of 12.352 MHz (C12i).
In the second and third major modes (MS1 is HIGH),
DPLL #1 is set to DIVIDE an external 1.544 MHz or
2.048 MHz signal applied at CVb (pin 21). The
division can be set by MS0 to be either 193 (LOW) or
256 (HIGH). In these modes, the 8 kHz output at
C8Kb is connected internally to DPLL #2, which
operates in SINGLE CLOCK mode.
Major modes of DPLL #2
There are four major modes for DPLL #2 selectable
by MS0 and MS1, as shown in Table 2. In all these
modes DPLL #2 provides the CEPT PCM30 timing,
and the ST-BUS clock and framing signals.
In NORMAL mode, DPLL #2 provides the CEPT/ST-
BUS compatible timing signals locked to the falling
edge of the 8 kHz input signal (C8Kb). These
signals are 4.096 MHz (C4o and C4b) and 2.048
MHz (C2o and C2o) clocks, and the 8 kHz frame
pulse (F0b) derived from the 16.384 MHz master
clock. This mode can be the same as the FREE-
RUN mode if the C8Kb pin is tied to V
