GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The DS21Q55 is a quad software-selectable T1, E1,
or J1 MCM device for short-haul and long-haul
applications. Each port is composed of a line
interface unit (LIU), framer, HDLC controllers, and a
TDM backplane interface, and is controlled by an
8-bit parallel port configured for Intel or Motorola
bus operations. The DS21Q55 is software compatible
with the DS2155 single-chip transceiver. It is pin
compatible with the DS21Qx5y family of products.
CꢀComplete T1/DS1/ISDN-PRI/J1 Transceiver
Functionality
CꢀComplete E1 (CEPT) PCM-30/ISDN-PRI
Transceiver Functionality
CꢀLong-Haul and Short-Haul Line Interface for
Clock/Data Recovery and Waveshaping
CꢀCMI Coder/Decoder for Optical I/F
CꢀCrystal-Less Jitter Attenuator
Each LIU is composed of transmit and receive
interfaces and a jitter attenuator. The transmit
interface is responsible for generating the necessary
waveshapes for driving the network and providing
the correct source impedance depending on the type
of media used. T1 waveform generation includes
DSX-1 line build-outs as well as CSU line build-outs
of -7.5dB, -15dB, and -22.5dB. E1 waveform
generation includes G.703 waveshapes for both 75ꢀ
coax and 120ꢀ twisted cables. The receive interface
provides network termination and recovers clock and
data from the network.
CꢀFully Independent Transmit and Receive
Functionality
CꢀDual HDLC Controllers
CꢀProgrammable BERT Generator and Detector
CꢀInternal Software-Selectable Receive and
Transmit-Side Termination Resistors for
75ꢀ/100ꢀ/120ꢀ T1 and E1 Interfaces
CꢀDual Two-Frame Elastic-Store Slip Buffers that
Connect to Asynchronous Backplanes Up to
16.384MHz
Cꢀ16.384MHz, 8.192MHz, 4.096MHz, or
2.048MHz Clock Output Synthesized to
