DS21354/DS21554 3.3V/5V E1 Single-Chip Transceivers
15.5. Receive Monitor Mode
When connecting to a monitor port, a large resistive loss is incurred due to the voltage divider between
the E1 line termination resistors (Rt) and the monitor port isolation resistors (Rm), as shown in
Figure 15-8. The receiver of the DS21354/DS21554 can provide gain to overcome the resistive loss of a
monitor connection. This is typically a purely resistive loss/gain and should not be confused with the
cable loss characteristics of an E1 transmission line. Via the TEST3 register as shown in Table 15-4, the
receiver can be programmed to provide both 12dB and 30dB of gain.
