XRT73R06
SIX CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT
REV. 1.0.0
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT73R06 is a six channel fully integrated Line
Interface Unit (LIU) featuring EXAR’s R
3
Technology
(Reconfigurable, Relayless, Redundancy) for E3/
DS3/STS-1 applications. The LIU incorporates 6
independent Receivers, Transmitters and Jitter
Attenuators in a single 217 Lead BGA package.
Each channel of the XRT73R06 can be
independently configured to operate in E3 (34.368
MHz), DS3 (44.736 MHz) or STS-1 (51.84 MHz).
Each transmitter can be turned off and tri-stated for
redundancy support or for conserving power.
The XRT73R06’s differential receiver provides high
noise interference margin and is able to receive data
over 1000 feet of cable or with up to 12 dB of cable
attenuation.
The XRT73R06 provides a Parallel Microprocessor
Interface for programming and control.
The XRT73R06 supports analog, remote and digital
loop-backs. The device also has a built-in Pseudo
Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) generator and
detector with the ability to insert and detect single bit
error for diagnostic purposes.
