RLINEP/ 
RLINE1P
Line 1 positive receive 
data
I
Differential inputs for each channel from its 
respective receive coax line. The RX expects 
balanced differential inputs, usually 
achieved using a 1:1 transformer. 
The inputs are internally DC biased to 1.9V.

TLINEP/

Line 1 positive transmit 
data
O
Differential, coax-driver balanced outputs 
for pulse-shaped AMI B3ZS/HDB3 encoded 
waveforms for each channel.
These pins should be connected to the 
primary side of the 1:1 transformer through 
two backmatch resistors (see 
 Appendix B
).

RX1 AMI + data/ NRZ 
data output
O
Resynchronized receive data intended to be 
strobed out by the corresponding RCLK.
When ENDECDIS = 1, these outputs are 
positive and negative AMI data (RPOS and 
RNEG).
When ENDECDIS = 0, these outputs are 
decoded NRZ data (RNRZ) and line code 
violation (RLCV). A line code violation is 
indicated when RLCV =1.
See notes on the ENDECDIS pin, next page.
