16. LINE INTERFACE FUNCTION
The line interface function in the DS21352/552 contains three sections; (1) the receiver which handles
clock and data recovery, (2) the transmitter which waveshapes and drives the T1 line, and (3) the jitter
attenuator. Each of the these three sections is controlled by the Line Inter-face Control Register (LICR)
which is described below.

16.1 RECEIVE CLOCK AND DATA RECOVERY
The DS21352/552 contains a digital clock recovery system. See Figure 3-1 and Figure 16-1 for more
details. The DS21352/552 couples to the receive T1 twisted pair via a 1:1 transformer. See for details.
The 1.544 MHz clock applied to the MCLK pin is internally multiplied by 16 via an internal PLL and fed
to the clock recovery system. The clock recovery system uses the clock from the PLL circuit to form a 16
times oversampler which is used to recover the clock and data. This oversampling technique offers
outstanding jitter tolerance (see Figure 16-4).
Normally, the clock that is output at the RCLKO pin is the recovered clock from the T1 AMI/B8ZS
waveform presented at the RTIP and RRING inputs. When no AMI signal is present at RTIP and RRING,
a Receive Carrier Loss (LRCL) condition will occur and the RCLKO will be sourced from the clock
applied at the MCLK pin. If the jitter attenuator is either placed in the transmit path or is disabled, the
RCLKO output can exhibit slightly shorter high cycles of the clock. This is due to the highly oversampled
digital clock recovery circuitry. If the jitter attenuator is placed in the receive path (as is the case in most
applications), the jitter attenuator restores the RCLK to being close to 50% duty cycle. Please see the
Receive AC Timing Characteristics in section 24 for more details.
