2.2.5  Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) Generator
When selected by asserting TAIS, an AIS replaces the transmit data at TPOS and 
TNEG. The E3 type of AIS signal (all 1s) is supported. In three-level signal form, 
this is a continuously alternating positive and negative pulse stream, as if the 
transmit data were a continuous string of logical 1s. 
Figure 2-6
 illustrates the AIS 
signal.
The TAIS pin has the same data latency as the TX data pins and can be used to 
replace single symbols within a data stream. When the encoder is disabled 
(ENDECDIS = 1), the TAIS mode maintains the proper phase, based upon the 
polarity of the last 1 received.
The AIS signal follows the same path as the TX data during remote or local 
loopback.
2.2.6  Jitter Generation (Intrinsic)
The CN833x device meets the jitter generation requirements for various rates 
with large margins, with the condition that the input transmit clock (TCLK) is 
jitter-free. Data rates and jitter generation requirements are defined in the 
following documents:
