78P2352 Dual 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
78P2352 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).

Transmit Backplane Equalizer

Clock
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 FR4 trace and can be
enabled by the TXOUT1 pin or TXEQ bit as follows:

Transmit Loss of Lock
In serial modes using the integrated CDR, the
78P2352 will declare a loss of lock condition when
the recovered transmit clock frequency differs from

POWER-DOWN FUNCTION
Power-down control is provided to allow the
78P2352 to be shut off. Transmit and receive
power-down can be set independently through SW
In CMI (electrical) mode, the CMIxP/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
control.
Global power-down is achieved by
powering down both the transmitter and receiver.
Note: the serial interface and configuration
registers are not affected by power-down.

applications.
The transmitter can also be powered down using the
TXPD control pin. The CMI outputs are tri-stated
during transmit power-down for redundancy
When the CMI pin is low, the chip is in NRZ (optical)
mode. The output data signal from the ECLxP/N
pins have LVPECL levels and interface directly to a
fiber module. The CMI driver, encoder and decoder
are disabled in ECL (NRZ) mode.

The TXPD pin is active in both
hardware and software modes.
