Bt8370/75/76
Fully Integrated T1/E1 Framer and Line Interface
The Bt8370/75/76 is a family of single-chip transceivers for T1/E1 and Integrated
Distinguishing Features
Service Digital Network (ISDN) primary rate interfaces, operating at 1.544 Mbps or
2.048 Mbps. These devices combine a sophisticated framer, transmit and receive slip
!
Single-chip T1/E1 framer with short/long
haul physical line interface
buffers, and an on-chip physical line interface to provide a complete T1/E1
!
Frames to popular T1/E1 standards:
transceiver.
The fully featured Bt8370 and short haul Bt8375 and Bt8376 devices provide a
programmable clock rate adapter for simplifying system bus interfacing. The adapter
synthesizes standard clock signals from the receive or transmit line rate clocks or
from an external reference.
Operations are controlled through memory-mapped registers accessible via a parallel
microprocessor port. Current ANSI, ETSI, ITU-T, and Telcordia standards are
supported for alarm and error monitoring, signaling supervision (e.g., LAPD/SS7),
per-channel trunk conditioning, and Facility Data Link (FDL) maintenance. A serial
Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) system bus interface allows the backplane Pulse
Code Modulation (PCM) data highway to operate at rates from 1.536–8.192 Mbps.
Extensive test and diagnostic functions include a full set of digital and analog
loopbacks, PRBS test pattern generation, BER meter, and forced error insertion.
The physical line interface circuit recovers clock and data from analog signals with
+3 to –43 dB cable attenuation, appropriate for both short (–18 dB) and long haul
T1/E1 applications. Receive line equalization (EQ) and transmit Line Build Out (LBO)
filters are implemented using Digital Signal Processor (DSP) circuits for reliable
performance. Data and/or clock jitter attenuation can be inserted on either the receive
or transmit path. The transmit section includes precision pulse shaping and amplitude
pre-emphasis for cross connect applications, as well as a set of LBO filters for long
haul Channel Service Unit (CSU) applications. A complementary driver output is
provided to couple 75/100/120
Ω
lines via an external transformer.
