Microprocessor Interface (MPU) (Continued)
ONESEC
1-second Timer
PIO
Controls or marks 1-second interval used for status reporting. When
input, the timer is aligned to ONESEC rising edge. When output, rising
edge indicates start of each 1-second interval. Typically, 1 device in a
multi-line system is configured to output ONESEC to synchronize other
Bt8370/8375/8376 status reports on a common 1-second interval.
INTR*
Interrupt Request
O
O
Open drain active-low output signifies 1 or more pending interrupt
requests. INTR* goes to high-impedance state after processor has
serviced all pending interrupt requests.
DTACK*
Data Transfer
Acknowledge
Open drain active-low output signifies in-progress data transfer cycle.
DTACK* remains asserted (low) for as long as AS* and CS* are both
active-low. DTACK* is only implemented during synchronous Motorola
processor interface modes. Refer to the timing diagrams in Section 5.5,
MPU Interface Timing.
Line Interface Unit (LIU)
XOE
Transmit Output
Enable
I
Active-high input enables XTIP and XRING output drivers; otherwise, both
outputs are placed in high-impedance state. XOE contains internal pullup
so systems that do not require three-stated outputs can leave XOE
unconnected. XOE needs to be disabled during Power-On Reset (POR) and
re-enabled after configuring the part. Refer to Power-On Reset procedure
in Section 2.10.4, Device Reset.
RTIP, RRING
VSET
Receive Tip/Ring
I
Differential AMI data inputs for direct connection to receive transformer.
Voltage Reference Set
I/O
Constant voltage output. Must be connected to an external 1% resistor
equal to 14 kΩ to ground (GND[4] pin 62). The VSET resistor sets the
internal precision current reference of 100 µA and also controls the
transmit pulse height.
XTIP, XRING
TCKI
Transmit Tip/Ring
Tx Clock Input
All Ones Clock
O
Complementary AMI data outputs for direct connection to transmit
transformer. Optionally, both outputs are three-stated when XOE is
negated.
Digital Transmitter (XMTR)
I
I
Primary TX line rate clock applied on TCKI, or the system chooses from 1
of four different clocks to act as TX clock source (see [CMUX; addr 01A]).
The selected source is used to clock digital transmitter signals TPOSI,
TNEGI, TPOSO, TNEGO, TNRZO, MSYNCO, TDLI, and TDLCKO. If TSLIP is
bypassed, selected source also clocks TSB signals.
ACKI
System optionally applies ACKI for AIS transmission, if the selected
primary transmit clock source fails. ACKI is either manually or
automatically switched to replace TCKI (see [AISCLK; addr 068]). Systems
without an AIS clock must tie ACKI to ground.
