5.4 Receive Framer System Interface Pins
NAME
TYPE
FUNCTION
ROCLK
O
Receive Output Clock. ROCLK is used to clock data out of the receive framer on RDAT. ROCLK is
normally a buffered (and optionally inverted) version of RCLK. When diagnostic loopback is active, ROCLK
is a buffered (and optionally inverted) version of TICLK. If
MC4:ROCLKI = 0, data is clocked out of the
framer on the rising edge of ROCLK. If ROCLKI = 1, data is clocked out on the falling edge of ROCLK.
RDAT
O
Receive Data Output. The incoming DS3/E3 data stream is serially clocked out of the receive framer on the
RDAT pin. RDAT is normally updated on the rising edge of ROCLK. To output data on the falling edge of
ROCLK, set
MC4:ROCLKI = 1. To internally invert RDAT, set
MC4:RDATI = 1. To force RDAT high, set
RDEN/
RGCLK
O
Receive Data Enable/Receive Gapped Clock. The receive framer can be configured to either output a data
enable (RDEN) or a gapped clock (RGCLK). In data enable mode, RDEN goes active when payload data is
available on the RDAT output pin and inactive when overhead data is present on the RDAT pin. In gapped
clock mode, RGCLK acts as a payload data clock for the RDAT output, toggling for each payload bit
position and not toggling for each framing overhead bit position. In DS3 mode, overhead data is defined as
the M bits, F bits, C bits, X bits, and P bits. In E3 mode, overhead data is defined as the FAS word, RAI bit,
and Sn bit (bits 1 to 12). To configure the receive framer for data enable mode, set
MC4:RDENMS = 0. To
configure for gapped clock operation, set
MC4:RDENMS = 1. RDEN is normally active high; to make RDEN
active low, set
MC4:RDENI = 1. RGCLK normally is the same polarity as RCLK; to invert RGCLK, set
RSOF
O
Receive Start of Frame. RSOF indicates the DS3 or E3 frame boundary on the incoming receive data
stream. RSOF pulses high for one TICLK cycle during the last bit of each DS3 or E3 frameRSOF is
normally active high. Set
MC4:RSOFI = 1 to make RSOF active low.
RLOS
O
Receive Loss of Signal. RLOS goes high when the receive framer is in a loss-of-signal (LOS) state. It
remains high as long as the LOS state persists and returns low when the framer exits the LOS state. See
ROOF
O
Receive Out of Frame. ROOF goes high when the receive framer is in an out-of-frame (OOF) state. It
remains high as long as the OOF state persists and returns low when the framer synchronizes. See
Table7-E and Table 7-F for details on the set and clear criteria for this pin. OOF status is also available through
RECU
I
Receive Error-Counter Update Strobe. Through the AECU control bit in the
MC1 register, the device can be
configured to use this asynchronous input to initiate an update of the internal error counters in all the
framers on the device. A 0-to-1 transition on the RECU pin causes the device to load the error counter
registers with the latest internal error counts. This signal must be returned low before a subsequent update
before reading the error counter registers to allow the device time to load the registers. This signal is
logically ORed with the MECU control bit in
MC1. If this signal is not used, it should be wired low.
