Function
TOH
Input
H3
When configured for DS3 operation, Transmit DS3/E3/J2
Overhead Data (TOH) contains the overhead bits (C, F,
X, P, and M) that may be inserted in the transmit DS3
stream.
When configured for G.832 E3 operation, TOH contains
the overhead bytes (FA1, FA2, EM mask, TR, MA, NR,
and GC) that may be inserted in the transmit G.832 E3
stream.
When configured for G.751 E3 operation, TOH contains
the overhead bits (RAI, National Use, Stuff Indication,
and Stuff Opportunity) that may be inserted in the
transmit G.751 E3 stream.
When configured for J2 operation, TOH contains the
overhead bits (TS97, TS98, Framing, X1-3, A, M, E1-5)
that may be inserted in the transmit J2 stream.
If TOHINS is a logic one, the TOH input has precedence
over the internal datalink transmitter, or any other internal
register bit setting. TOH is sampled on the rising edge of
TOHCLK.
TOHFP
Output
J3
The Transmit DS3/E3/J2 Overhead Frame Position
(TOHFP) is used to align the individual overhead bits in
the transmit overhead data stream, TOH, to the DS3 M-
frame or the E3 frame.
For DS3, TOHFP is high during the X1 overhead bit
position in the TOH stream. For G.832 E3, TOHFP is
high during the first bit of the FA1 byte. For G.751 E3,
TOHFP is high during the RAI overhead bit position in
the TOH stream. For J2, TOHFP is high during the first
bit of timeslot 97 in the first frame of a 4-frame
multiframe).
TOHFP is updated on the falling edge of TOHCLK.
TOHCLK
Output
H2
The Transmit DS3/E3/J2 Overhead Clock (TOHCLK) is
active when a DS3, E3, or J2 stream is being processed.
TOHCLK is nominally a 526 kHz clock for DS3, a 1.072
MHz clock for G.832 E3, a 1.074 MHz clock for G.751
E3, and a gapped 6.312 MHz clock with an average
frequency of 168 kHz for J2.
TOHFP is updated on the falling edge of TOHCLK. TOH,
and TOHINS are sampled on the rising edge of
TOHCLK.
REF8KI
Input
T3
The PLCP frame rate is locked to an external 8 kHz
reference applied on Reference 8 kHz Input (REF8KI).
An internal phase-frequency detector compares the
transmit PLCP frame rate with the externally applied 8
kHz reference and adjusts the PLCP frame rate.
The REF8KI input must transition high once every 125
μ
s
for correct operation. The REF8KI input is treated as an
asynchronous signal and must be “glitch-free”. If the
LOOPT register bit is logic one, the PLCP frame rate is
locked to the RPOHFP signal instead of the REF8KI
input.
