Description
The T7698 is an integrated quad line interface contain-
ing four line transmit and receive channels and an octal
frame monitor for use in both North American (T1/DS1)
and European (E1/CEPT) applications. The line inter-
face unit has the same functions as the Lucent T7690,
and the frame monitors are compatible with the receive
section of the Lucent T7630. Included is a parallel
microprocessor interface that allows the user to define
the architecture, initiate loopbacks, and monitor alarms.
The interface is compatible with many commercially
available microprocessors. The functional block dia-
gram of the T7698 is shown in Figure 1.
The block diagram of the line interface unit is shown in
Figure 4. The line receiver performs clock and data
recovery using a fully integrated digital phase-locked
loop. This digital implementation prevents false lock
conditions that are common when recovering sparse
data patterns with analog phase-locked loops. Equal-
ization circuitry in the receiver guarantees a high level
of interference immunity. As an option, the raw sliced
data (no retiming) can be output on the receive data
pins. Transmit equalization is implemented with low-
impedance output drivers that provide shaped wave-
forms to the transformer, guaranteeing template con-
formance. The quad device will interface to the digital
cross connect (DSX) at lengths of up to 655 ft. for DS1
operation or to line impedances of 75
or 120
for
CEPT operation.
A selectable jitter attenuator may be placed in the
receive signal path for low-bandwidth line-synchronous
applications, or it may be placed in the transmit path for
multiplexer applications where DS1/CEPT signals are
demultiplexed from higher rate signals. The jitter atten-
uator will perform the clock smoothing required on the
resulting demultiplexed gapped clock.
