CMI Encoding
Coded Mark Inversion (CMI) is an encoding scheme adopted by SONET STS-3 and SDH STM1
standards. CMI encoding guarantees at least one transition per bit, thereby enhancing the clock
recovery process. CMI encodes a “0” with a midpoint positive transition, and a “1” as Low or
High, in opposite polarity to the previous encoded “1”. Refer to Figures 6, 24 and 25 for encoding
and pulse template information.

Tx Clock Monitoring
The LXT6155 provides transmit clock monitoring for both serial and parallel operating modes.
When using the crystal clock as a reference, the LXT6155 monitors the TSICLKP/TSICLKN or the
TPICLK input(s) for transitions. If no transition is seen within 200ns, the tx_clk_alarm flag will be
set (reg #15) and the transmitter outputs ttip1/tring1 or ttip0/tring0 will stop sending data to the line.
This condition will remain until the LXT6155 detects clock transitions at the transmitter input(s)
TSICLKP/TSICLKN or TPICLK. Transmit clock monitoring can be disabled in software mode
only.
In remote loopback, transmit clock monitoring isdisabled in SW and HW mode. In SW mode, when
using transmit clocks as the receive PLL reference, the user must disable transmit clock monitoring
by setting reg #1 bit <0> low.

CMI Mode
Received data on RTIP/RRING goes through an adaptive equalizer. An adaptive
adaptive Automatic Gain Control (AGC) compensate the frequency-and-cable length dependent
loss in data signal, and reshapes the signal to the optimal waveform. A Phase Locked Loop (PLL)
