GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT7295AT DS3/SONET STS-1 integrated line
receiver is a fully integrated receive interface that
terminates a bipolar DS3 (44.736Mbps) or Sonet STS-1
(51.84Mbps) signal transmitted over coaxial cable. (See
Figure 13).
settings, to adapt longer cables. High input sensitivity
allows for significant amounts of flat loss within the
system. Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the device.
The XRT7295AT device is manufactured using linear
CMOS technology. The XRT7295AT is available in a
20-pin plastic SOJ package for surface mounting.
The device also provides the functions of receive
equalization (optional), automatic-gain control (AGC),
clock-recovery and data retiming, loss-of-signal and
loss-of-frequency-lock detection. The digital system
interface is dual-rail, with received positive and negative
1s appearing as unipolar digital signals on separate
output leads. The on-chip equalizer is designed for cable
distances of 0 to 450ft. from the cross-connect frame to
the device. The receive input has a variable input
sensitivity control, providing three different sensitivity
Two versions of the chip are available, one is for either
DS3 or STS-1 operation (the XRT7295AT, this data
sheet), and the other is for E3 operation(the XRT7295AE,
refer to the XRT7295AE data sheet). Both versions are
pin compatible.
For either DS3 or STS-1, an input reference clock at
44.736MHz or 51.84MHz provides the frequency
reference for the device.
