78P2352 Dual Channel OC-3/STM1-E/E4 Line Interface Unit
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 78P2352 contains all the necessary transmit
and receive circuitry for connection between
139.264Mbit/s and 155.52Mbit/s line interfaces and
the digital universe. The chip is controllable through
pins or serial port register settings.
In hardware mode (pin control) the SPSL pin
must be low.
In software mode (SPSL pin high), control pins
are disabled and the 78P2352 must be
configured via the 4-wire serial port.
MODE SELECTION
The SDO_E4 pin or E4 register bit determines which
rate the device operates in according to the table
below. This control combined with CKSL also
selects the global reference frequency.

RECEIVER OPERATION
The receiver accepts serial data, at 155.52Mbit/s or
139.264Mbit/s from the RXxP/N inputs. In CMI
mode, the CMI-coded inputs come from a coaxial
cable that is transformer-coupled to the chip. In NRZ
(optical) mode, the input pins receive NRZ LVPECL
level signals from an O/E converter.
The CMI signal first enters an AGC and a high
performance adaptive equalizer designed to
overcome inter-symbol interference caused by long
cable lengths. The variable gain differential amplifier
automatically controls the gain to maintain a
constant voltage level output regardless of the input
voltage level. In ECL (NRZ) mode, the input signals
bypass the adaptive equalizer.
The outputs of the data comparators are connected
to the clock recovery circuits. The clock recovery
system employs a digital PLL, which uses a
reference frequency derived from the clock applied
to the CKREFP/N pins.
In serial mode, the clock and data are transmitted
through the LVPECL drivers. In parallel mode, the
data is converted into four bit parallel segments
before being transmitted through the CMOS drivers.
Receiver Monitor Mode
In CMI mode, the SCK_MON pin or MONx register
bit puts the receiver in monitor mode and adds
approximately 20dB of flat gain to the receive signal
before equalization. Rx Monitor Mode can handle
20dB of flat loss typical of monitoring points with up
to 6dB of cable loss. Note that Loss of Signal
detection is disabled during Rx Monitor Mode.
Loss of Signal
The 78P2352 includes a ITU-T G.775/G.783
compliant Loss of Signal (LOS) detector. When the
received CMI signal is less than approximately 18dB
below nominal for 80 UI, the LOS pin is asserted.
The LOS signal is cleared when the received signal
is greater than approximately 17dB below nominal
for 80 UI. During LOS conditions, the receive data
outputs are squelched and held at logic ‘0’.
Note:
Loss of Signal detection is disabled during
Local Loopback and Receive Monitor Modes.
In ECL mode, the LOSx signal will be asserted when
there are no transitions for longer than 2.3µs. The
signal is cleared when there are more than 4
transitions in 32 UI.
Loss of Lock
The 78P2352 will declare a loss of lock condition
when the recovered clock frequency differs from the
reference clock by more than
±100ppm
in an interval
greater than 420µs. This condition is cleared when
the frequencies are less than
±100ppm
off for more
than 500µs.

The SEN_CMI pin or CMI register bit selects one of
two media for reception and transmission: coaxial
cable in CMI mode or optical fiber in ECL (NRZ)
mode. Independent channel operation is available
with register controls.

The SDI_PAR pin or PAR register bit selects the
interface to the framer to be four-bit parallel CMOS
or serial LVPECL. For each interface there are
different transmit timing modes See TRANSMITTER
OPERATION section for more info.
REFERENCE CLOCK
The 78P2352 requires a reference clock supplied to
the CKREFP/N pins. For reference frequencies of
77.76MHz or lower, the device accepts a single
ended CMOS input at CKREFP. For reference
frequencies of 139.264/155.52MHz, the device
accepts a differential LVPECL clock input at
CKREFP/N. The frequency of this reference input is
controlled by the rate selection and the CKSL control
pin or register bit.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

TRANSMITTER OPERATION
The transmitter section generates an analog signal
for transmission through either a transformer onto
the coaxial cable using CMI coding or directly to a
fiber optics module using NRZ coding.
The 78P2352 provides a flexible system interface for
compatibility with most off-the-shelf framers and
custom ASICs. The device supports a 4-bit parallel
interface in either slave or master clocking modes
and a number of serial NRZ timing modes.
Each of the serial NRZ transmit timing modes can be
configured in HW mode or SW mode as shown in
the table below.
Serial
Mode
Synchronous
clock + data
Synchronous

Plesiochronou
s data only
Loop-timing
If no serial transmit clock is available, as in
Figure 2,
the 78P2352 can recover a clock from the serial
NRZ data input and pass the data through the FIFO.
In this mode, the NRZ transmit data should be
source synchronous with the reference clock applied
at CKREFP/N. Each transmitter also includes a
Loss of Lock indicator (TXLOL) that can be used to
trigger an interrupt.
Note that the FIFO is
automatically re-centered when the TXLOL register
bit transitions from high to low.

Synchronous Serial Modes
In Figure 1, serial NRZ transmit data is input to
SIDxP/N pins at LVPECL levels. By default, the data
is latched in on the rising edge of SICKxP. A clock
decoupling FIFO is provided to decouple the on chip
and off chip clocks. The SICKxP/N clock provided
by the framer/mapper IC must be source
synchronous with the internal reference transmit
clock if the FIFO is to be used.
System Reference Clock
Since the reference clock and transmit clock/data go
through different delay paths, it is inevitable that the
phase relationship between the two clocks can vary
in a bounded manner due to the fact that the
absolute delays in the two paths can vary over time.
The FIFO allows long-term clock phase drift, not
exceeding +/- 25.6ns, to be handled without transmit
error. If the clock wander exceeds the specified
limits, the FIFO will over or under flow, and the
FERRx register signal will be asserted. This signal
can be used to trigger an interrupt. This interrupt
event is cleared when an FRSTx pulse is applied,
and the FIFO is re-centered.
Note:
External remote loopbacks (i.e. loopback
within framer) are not possible in synchronous
operation (FIFO enabled) unless the reference
clock is synchronous with the recovered receive
clock (loop-timing).
Plesiochronous Serial Mode
Figure 3 represents the condition where no serial
transmit clock is available and the data is not source
synchronous to the reference clock input. In this
mode, the 78P2352 will recover a clock from the
serial plesiochronous data and bypass the FIFO.
