The LOS Declaration/Clearance Criteria
When the XRT7302 is operating in the DS3 or STS-1
Mode, each channel in the XRT7302 declares and
clears LOS based upon the following two criteria:
Analog LOS (ALOS) Declaration/Clearance Crite-
ria
Digital LOS (DLOS) Declaration/Clearance Crite-
ria
In the DS3 Mode, the LOS output (RLOS) is simply
the logical "OR" of the ALOS and DLOS states.
1. The Analog LOS (ALOS) Declaration/Clearance
Criteria
A channel in the XRT7302 declares an Analog LOS
(ALOS(n)) Condition if the amplitude of the incoming
line signal drops below a specific amplitude as de-
fined by the voltage at the LOSTHR input pin and
whether the Receive Equalizer is enabled or not.
Table 5 presents the various voltage levels at the
LOSTHR input pin, the state of the Receive Equalizer,
and the corresponding ALOS (Analog LOS) threshold
amplitudes.
Declaring ALOS
A Channel(n) in the XRT7302 declares ALOS(n)
whenever the amplitude of the receive line signal falls
below the signal levels to declare ALOS, as specified
in Table 5.
Clearing ALOS(n)
A Channel(n) clears ALOS(n) whenever the ampli-
tude of the receive line signal increases above the
signal levels to declare ALOS, as specified in Table 5.
There is approximately a 2dB hysteresis in the re-
ceived signal level that exists between declaring and
clearing ALOS(n) in order to prevent chattering in the
RLOS(n) output signal.
Monitoring the State of ALOS(n)
If the XRT7302 is operating in the HOST Mode, the
state of ALOS(n) of Channel(n) can be polled or mon-
itored by reading in the contents of Command Regis-
ter CR0.
If the ALOS(n) bit-field contains a "1", then the corre-
sponding Channel(n) is currently declaring an ALOS
condition. If the ALOS(n) bit-field contains a "0", then
the channel is not currently declaring an ALOS condi-
tion.
