11.2 T1 In Band Loopback Codes
T1.403 defines SF mode line loopback activate and deactivate codes. These codes are either a framed or
unframed repeating bit sequence of 00001 for activation or 001 for deactivation. The standard goes on to say
that these codes will persist for five seconds or more before the loopback action is taken. The MT9072 will
detect both framed and unframed line activate and de-activate codes even in the presence of a BER of
3 x 10
-3
. Line Loopback Disable Detect - LLDD - in the Alarm Status Word (Y10) will be asserted when a
repeating 001 pattern (either framed or unframed) has persisted for 48 milliseconds. Line Loopback Enable
Detect LLED in the Alarm Status Word will be asserted when a repeating 00001 pattern (either framed or
unframed) has persisted for 48 milliseconds.
Other loopup and loopdown codes can be selected by writing to Transmit Loop Activate and Loop Deactivate
Code registers(Y0D and Y0E).
The selection of the expected received loopup and loopdown code is done by writing to registers Receive
Loopup Code and Receive Loop Deactivate Code Match registers(Y0F and YF0).
Interrupt status bits LLEDI and LLDDI will be set upon detection of inband loopup or loopdown codes
respectively. Maskable interrupts can be generated by disabling the mask bits in Receive line status and Timer
mask (Y45 bit 5).

Register
Description
Y02
Transmit Alarm Control
If the SO bit is set, there will be framed loop codes, otherwise they will be
unframed.
Y05
Loopback Control
Setting TLU or TLD will cause the transmitter to start sending the
appropriate loopup and loopdown code.
Y0D
Transmit Loop Activate
Code
This register contains the loop activate code which will be sent on the Tx
PCM stream when TLU is set. It also contains 2 bits for code length.
Y0E
Transmit Loop
Deactivate Code
This register contains the loop deactivate code which will be sent on the
Tx PCM stream when TLD is set. It also contains 2 bits for code length.
Y0F
Receive Loop Activate
Code Match
This register contains the loop activate code which will cause an interrupt
if received on the RX PCM stream. It also contains 2 bits for code length.
YF0
Receive Loop Deactivate
Code Match
This register contains the loop deactivate code which we are looking for
on the RX PCM stream. It also contains 2 bits for code length.
Y10
Synchronization and
Alarm Status
LLED and LLDD will be high when their respective loop codes are
detected in the match registers.
Y35
Receive Line and Timer
Interrupt Status
LLEI and LLDI are the interrupts for LLED and LLDD.
