6-Port DS3/E3/STS-1 Integrated Line Termination
Device for ATM, Packet Processing and TDM Transport
M29306 – DS3/E3/STS-1 “Line-Card-on-a-Chip”
The M29306 provides the most complete physical-layer
solution for flexible DS3/E3/STS-1 ATM, packet and TDM
services on a single chip. The M29306 aggressively drives
down cost for existing solutions and as well as reduces
PCB real-estate and power.

Comprehensive loopbacks
Each port of the M29306 operates independently allowing
for a mix of different rates and protocols. This flexibility
allows service providers to provide a combination of clear
channel DS3/E3 for packet, DS3/E3 ATM UNI or T3/E3/STS-1
TDM services on the same card. This enables ADMs/OEDs
and MSPPs to deploy a single line card that supports the
simultaneous mapping for SDH or SONET transport of both
DS3 and E3.
The M29306 integrates all the functional physical-layer
blocks for a DS3/E3/STS-1 line card. It includes: 6 inde-
pendent electrical line interface units (LIUs) with built-in
digital jitter attenuators (DJAT), 12 DS3/E3 framers, and 6
STS-1 framers. Each port is supported by a number of
protocol options that may be selected on a per port basis
from high level data link controllers (HDLC), ATM cell
delineators, or DS3/E3 SONET/SDH mappers/demappers.
The only requirement on the line side is the addition of
transformers and passive termination.
The M29306 requires only one 19.44 MHz reference clock
(passive crystal) for generating all the necessary internal
line rate clocks and enabling the same reference clock to
be available on an output pad. In addition it can use a 77.76
MHz or 155.52 MHz reference.
Fractional DS3/E3 service is also supported through a
bypass mode that allows external access to the DS3/E3
channel’s data stream between the framer and the
ATM/HDLC control allowing for external processing of
the payload. This bypass mode also provides the capability
of chaining two M29306s together to support a 12 line to
one system side implementation. A STS-1 bypass on each
of the STS-1 framers also allows for external access to
the STS-1 payload.
The device incorporates flexible system interfaces to
support cell/packet termination into an industry-standard
system bus of UTOPIA Level 2 (UL2) for ATM, POS-PHY Level
2 or SPI-3 for HDLC packets, and STS-12/STM-4 support
for the SONET/SDH traffic via a standard 8-bit, 77 MHz TDM
telecom bus. Thus, a channelized OC-12/STM-4 can be broken
down to DS3/E3 streams by the M29306 on a channel-by-
channel basis.

For maintenance, the M29306 supports pseudo-random bit
sequence (PRBS) testing and a full set of loopback functions
are provided at different functional blocks.
Using the telecom application package (TAP) software to abstract
the physical registers, developers can easily implement the M29306
solution, reducing design time.
