XRT72L52
TWO CHANNEL DS3/E3 FRAMER IC WITH HDLC CONTROLLER
FEBRUARY 2005
REV. 1.0.1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT72L52, Two Channel DS3/E3 Framer IC 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. Fur-
ther, the Framer is also designed to receive an in-
bound DS3/E3 Data Stream from the Remote Termi-
nal Equipment and extract out the user data.
The XRT72L52 DS3/E3 Framer device is designed to
support full-duplex data flow between Terminal Equip-
ment and an LIU (Line Interface Unit) IC. The Framer
Device 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.
The XRT72L52 DS3/E3 Framer IC consists of a
Transmit section, Receiver section, Performance
Monitor Section and a Microprocessor interface.
The Transmit Section includes 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
Interface Block which permits the Terminal Equip-
ment to transmit data to a remote terminal.
The Receive Section consists 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
the local terminal equipment to receive data from re-
mote terminal equipment.
The Microprocessor Interface is used to configure the
Framer IC 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 regis-
ters that contain cumulative and one-second statistics
that reflect the performance/health of the Framer IC/
system.
