78P2351 Single Channel OC-3/STM1-E/E4 Line Interface Unit
Pulse Amplitude Adjustment
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (continued)
Controls for adjusting the transmit pulse amplitude
are provided in both hardware and software modes.
Amplitude boosts of 5% and 10% can be enabled by
the TXOUT0 pin or BST[1:0] register bits as follows:
Parallel Modes
In parallel modes, 4-bit CMOS data segments are
input to the chip with a 34.816MHz (E4) or
38.88MHz (STM1) clock. These inputs are passed
to the 4x8 decoupling FIFO and then to a serializer
for transmission. For maximum compatibility, the
78P2351 can operate in both slave and master clock
modes as shown in Figures 4 and 5 respectively. A
loop-timing mode is also available to allow external
remote loopbacks (i.e. line loopback in framer).

An optional redundant transmit output is available in

(CMI2P/N) are activated when the RCSL pin or

The 2x line rate clock is also available at the
TXCKxP/N pins for downstream synchronization or
interfacing to equipment lacking integrated clock
recovery.

An optional fixed equalizer is integrated in the
transmit path for architectures that use LIUs on
active interface cards. The fixed equalizer can
compensate for up to 1.5m of trace and can be
enabled by the TXOUT1 pin or TXEQ bit as follows:

In CMI (electrical) mode, the CMIP/N pins connect
the chip to 75Ω coaxial cable through a transformer
and termination resistors. The transmitter converts
the data to CMI coding and shapes an analog signal
to meet the appropriate ITU-T G.703 template. The
CMI outputs are tri-stated during transmit disable
Transmit Loss of Lock
In serial modes using the integrated CDR, the
78P2351 will declare a loss of lock condition when
the recovered transmit clock frequency differs from
