(AMI) or Binary - 3 Zero Substitution (B3ZS). Each
one of these line codes will be discussed below. Bi-
polar mode is sometimes referred to as Dual Rail be-
cause the data pulses occur in two polarities: positive
and negative. The role of the TxPOS, TxNEG and
TxLineClk output pins, for this mode are discussed
below.
TxPOS - Transmit Positive Polarity Pulse:
The
Transmit DS3 LIU Interface block will assert this out-
put to the LIU IC when it desires for the LIU to gener-
ate and transmit a positive polarity pulse to the re-
mote terminal equipment.
TxNEG - Transmit Negative Polarity Pulse:
The
Transmit DS3 LIU Interface block will assert this out-
put to the LIU IC when it desires for the LIU to gener-
I/O CONTROL REGISTER (ADDRESS = 0X01)
ate and transmit a negative polarity pulse to the re-
mote terminal equipment.
TxLineClk - Transmit Line Clock:
The LIU IC uses
this signal from the Transmit DS3 LIU Interface block
to sample the state of its TxPOS and TxNEG inputs.
The results of this sampling dictates the type of pulse
(positive polarity, zero, or negative polarity) that it will
generate and transmit to the remote Receive DS3
Framer.

Selecting the various Line Codes
Either the Unipolar Mode or Bipolar Mode can be se-
lected by writing the appropriate value to Bit 3 of the I/
O Control Register (Address = 0x01), as shown be-
low.
Table 48 relates the value of this bit field to the
Transmit DS3 LIU Interface Output Mode.

:
1. The default condition is the Bipolar Mode.
2. This selection also effects the operation of the
Receive DS3 LIU Interface block
4.2.5.1.1
The Bipolar Mode Line Codes
If framer is to be operated in the Bipolar Mode, then
the DS3 data-stream can be transmitted via the AMI
(Alternate Mark Inversion) or the B3ZS Line Codes.
The definition of AMI and B3ZS line codes follow.
4.2.5.1.1.1
The AMI Line Code
AMI or Alternate Mark Inversion, means that consec-
utive one’s pulses (or marks) will be of opposite polar-
ity with respect to each other. The line code involves
the use of three different amplitude levels: +1, 0, and
-1. +1 and -1 amplitude signals are used to represent
one’s (or mark) pulses and the "0" amplitude pulses
(or the absence of a pulse) are used to represent ze-
ros (or space) pulses. The general rule for AMI is: if a
given mark pulse is of positive polarity, then the very
next mark pulse will be of negative polarity and vice
versa. This alternating-polarity relationship exists be-
tween two consecutive mark pulses, independent of
the number of ’zeros’ that may exist between these
two pulses. Figure 75 presents an illustration of the
AMI Line Code as would appear at the TxPOS and
TxNEG pins of the Framer, as well as the output sig-
nal on the line.
