LXT334
Quad Short-Haul Transceiver with Clock Recovery
General Description
Features
The LXT334 is a quad, short-haul, PCM transceiver for
2.048 MHz or 1.544 MHz transmission systems. Its low
impedance transmit output drivers provide constant line
impedance whether transmitting marks or spaces. The out-
put pulse amplitudes are also constant, stabilized against
supply voltage variations.
• Fully integrated quad, short-haul PCM transceiver for
G.703 2.048 Mbps or 1.544 Mbps operation
• Single rail supply voltage of 5 V (typical)
• Low power consumption of 410 mW (typical)
• Programmable G.703 transmit pulse shaping for
G.703 75 Ω, 100 Ω and 120 Ω systems
• High performance line drivers with constant low
impedance for 20 dB return loss (typical)
exceeds ETSI 300 166
• On-chip band gap voltage reference for stabilized,
constant output amplitude
• High-performance receivers recover data with up to
12 dB cable attenuation
• Low frequency 1.544 or 2.048 MHz reference clock
• On-chip clock recovery function
• Programmable unipolar and bipolar PCM interface
• On-chip AMI and HDB3 encoder/decoder
• On-chip Driver Failure Monitoring circuit
• Local and remote loopback testing function
• Independent Loss of Signal processor for each
channel conforms to ITU G.775 recommendation
The LXT334 can be configured for balanced 100/120 Ω or
unbalanced 75 Ω systems and exceeds the latest ETSI
return loss recommendations. An on-chip pulse shaping
circuit generates accurate transmit pulses independent of
the transmit clock duty cycle. All transmitters and receivers
incorporate a power down mode with output tri-stating.
The LXT334 features differential receiver architecture
with high noise interference margin. It uses peak detection
with a variable threshold for reliable recovery of data as
low as 500 mV (up to 12 dB of cable attenuation).
The fully digital clock recovery system uses a low fre-
quency master clock of 2.048 MHz or 1.544 MHz as its ref-
erence. Each receiver incorporates a combination analog/
digital Loss Of Signal (LOS) processor that meets the latest
ITU G.775 standard. The LXT334 features a driver failure
monitoring circuit in parallel to TTIP and TRING that
reports driver shorts.
