the local terminal equipment to receive data from re-
mote terminal equipment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT72L58 Octal DS3/E3 Framer is designed to
accept “User Data” from the Terminal Equipment and
insert this data into the “payload” bit-fields within an
“outbound” DS3/E3 Data Stream. Further, the Framer
is also designed to receive an “inbound” DS3/E3 Data
Stream (from the Remote Terminal Equipment) and
extract out the “User Data”.
The Microprocessor Interface is used to configure the
Framer in different operating modes and monitor the
performance of the Framer.
The Performance Monitor Sections consist of a large
number of "Reset-upon-Read" and "Read-Only" reg-
isters that contain cumulative and "one-second" sta-
tistics that reflect the performance/health of the Eight
channels of the Framer/system.
The XRT72L58 DS3/E3 Framer is designed to sup-
port full-duplex data flow between Terminal Equip-
ment and an LIU (Line Interface Unit) IC. The Framer
will transmit, receive and process data in the DS3-C-
bit Parity, DS3-M13, E3-ITU-T G.751 and E3-ITU-T
G.832 Framing Formats.
FEATURES
• Transmits, Receives and Processes data in the
DS3-C-bit Parity, DS3-M13, E3-ITU-T G.751 and
E3-ITU-T G.832 Framing Formats.
The XRT72L58 DS3/E3 Framer consists of Eight
Transmit sections, Eight Receiver sections, Eight Per-
formance Monitor Sections and a Microprocessor in-
terface.
• 8 Channel HDLC Controller - Tx and Rx
• Interfaces to all Popular Microprocessors
• Integrated Framer Performance Monitor
• Available in a 388 Ball PBGA package
• 3.3V Power Supply with 5V Tolerant I/O
• Operating Temperature -40°C to +85°C
The Transmit Sections, include a Transmit Payload
Data Input Interface, a Transmit Overhead data Input
Interface Section, a Transmit HDLC Controller, a
Transmit DS3/E3 Framer block and a Transmit LIU In-
terface Block which permits the Terminal Equipment
to transmit data to a remote terminal.
APPLICATIONS
• Network Interface Units
• CSU/DSU Equipment.
• PCM Test Equipment
• Fiber Optic Terminals
• DS3/E3 Frame Relay Equipment
The Receive Sections, consist of a Receive LIU Inter-
face, a Receive DS3/E3 Framer, a Receive HDLC
Controller, a Receive Payload Data Output Interface,
and a Receive Overhead Data Interface which allows
