ISO-CMOS
MT8976
4-45
compatible equipment (see ANSI T1.102 and AT & T
Technical Advisory #34). On the receive side the
bipolar line signal is converted into a unipolar
format by the line receiver circuit. The resulting
split phase signals are input at the RxA and RxB pins
on the MT8976. The signals are combined together
to produce a composite return to zero signal, which
is clocked into the device at RxD. An uncommitted
nand gate in the MT8940/41 can be used for this
purpose.
The MT8976 can be interfaced to a high speed
parallel bus or to a microprocessor using the
MT8920B Parallel Access Circuit (STPA). Figure 11
shows the MT8976 interfaced to a parallel bus
structure using two STPA‘s operating in modes 1 and
2.
The first STPA operating in mode 2 (MMS=0,
MS1=1, 24/32=0), routes data and/or voice
information between the parallel telecom bus and the
T1 or CEPT link via DSTi and DSTo. The second
STPA, operating in mode 1 (MMS = 1 ) provides
access from the signalling and link control bus to the
MT8976 status and control channels. All signalling
and link functions may be controlled easily through
the STPA transmit RAM’s Tx0, Tx1, while status
information is read at receive RAM Rx0. In addition,
interrupts can be set up to notify the system in case
of slips, loss of sync, alarms, violations, etc.
Mitel also manufactures a thick film hybrid device,
the MH89760/760B, which incorporates the line
driver, receiver and clock extractor circuitry. A
second SIP hybrid, the MH89761, provides the
necessary equalization circuitry to condition the
signal for transmission up to 655 feet over 22 AWG
twisted pair.
Note: the configurations shown in Figures 10 and 11
using the MT8940/41 may not meet specific jitter
performance requirements. A more sophisticated
PLL or line interface unit with transmit jitter
attenuator may be required for applications designed
to meet specific standards.
