Preliminary Information
MT9075A
data link maintenance channel to be modified and
updates the CRC-4 remainder bits to reflect the
modification. All channel, framing and signalling data
passes through the device unaltered. This is useful
for intermediate point applications of a PCM 30 link
where the data link data is modified, but the error
information transported by the CRC-4 bits must be
passed to the terminating end. In the receive
transparent mode, the received line data is
channelled to DSTo with framing operations
disabled, consequently, the data passes through the
slip buffer and drives DSTo with an arbitrary
alignment.
Device Overview
The MT9075A is an advanced PCM 30 framer with
an on-chip Line Interface Unit (LIU) that meets or
supports the latest ITU-T Recommendations for
PCM 30 and ISDN primary rate including G.703,
G.704, G.706, G.775, G.796, G.732, G.823 and
I.431. It also meets or supports the layer 1
requirements of ETSI ETS 300 166 and BS6450.
The Line Interface Unit (LIU) of the MT9075A
interfaces the digital framer functions to the PCM 30
transformer-isolated four wire line. The transmit
portion of the MT9075A LIU consists of a digital
buffer, a digital-to-analog converter and a differential
line driver. The receiver portion of the LIU consists of
an input signal peak detector, an optional two-stage
equalizer, a smoothing filter, data and clock slicers
and a clock extractor. The optional equalizer allows
for error free reception of data with a line attenuation
of up to 20 dB.
The MT9075A has a comprehensive suite of status,
alarm, performance monitoring and reporting
features. These include counters for BPVs, CRC
errors, E-bit errors, errored frame alignment signals,
BERT, and RAI and continuous CRC errors. Also,
included are transmission error insertion for BPVs,
CRC-4 errors, frame and non-frame alignment signal
errors, payload errors and loss of signal errors.
The LIU also contains a Jitter Attenuator (JA), which
can be configured to either the transmit or receive
path. The JA will attenuate jitter from 2.5 Hz and roll-
off at a rate of 20 dB/decade. Its intrinsic jitter is less
than 0.02 UI.
A complete set of loopback functions is provided,
which includes digital, remote, ST-BUS, payload,
metallic, local and remote time slot.
The MT9075A also contains a comprehensive set of
maskable interrupts and an interrupt vector function.
Interrupt sources consist of synchronization status,
alarm status, counter indication and overflow, timer
status, slip indication, maintenance functions and
receive channel associated signalling bit changes. A
special set of maskable interrupts have been
included for sensing changes in the state of the
national use bits and nibbles, in compliance to
emerging ETS requirements.
The digital portion of the MT9075A connects an
incoming stream of time multiplexed PCM channels
(at 2.048 Mbit/s) to the transmit payload of the E1
trunk, while the receive payload is connected to the
ST-BUS or GCI 2.048 Mbit/s backplane bus for both
data and signalling. Control, reporting and
conditioning of the line is implemented via a parallel
microprocessor interface. The MT9075A framing
algorithm allows automatic interworking between
CRC-4 and non-CRC-4 interfaces.
The MT9075A system timing may be slaved to the
line, operated in freerun mode, or controlled by an
external timing source.
The S bits can be accessed by the MT9075A in the
a
following four ways:
•
•
Single byte registers;
Five byte transmit and receive national bit
buffers;
•
•
Data link pins TxDL, RxDL, RxDLCLK and
TxDLCLK;
HDLC Controller with a 128 byte FIFO.
The MT9075A operates in either termination or
transparent modes selectable via software control. In
the termination mode the CRC-4 calculation is
performed as part of the framing algorithm. In the
transmit transparent mode, no framing or signalling
is imposed on the data transmit from DSTi on the
line. In addition, the MT9075A optionally allows the
4-135
