Disabling the ALOS Detector
For debugging purposes it may be useful to disable
the ALOS Detector in the XRT73L02. If the
XRT73L02 is operating in the HOST Mode, the ALOS
Detector can be disabled by writing a "1" into the
ALOSDIS_(n) bit-field in Command Register CR2.
2. The Digital LOS (DLOS) Declaration/Clearance
Criteria
A given Channel (n) in the XRT73L02 declares a Dig-
ital LOS (DLOS_(n)) condition if the XRT73L02 de-
tects 160±32 or more consecutive "0’s" in the incom-
ing data.
The channel clears DLOS if it detects four consecu-
tive sets of 32 bit-periods, each of which contains at
least 10 "1’s" (e.g., average pulse density of greater
than 33%).
Monitoring the State of DLOS
If the XRT73L02 is operating in the HOST Mode the
state of DLOS_(n) of Channel (n) can be polled or
monitored by reading in the contents of Command
Register CR0.
If the DLOS_(n) bit-field contains a “1”, then the cor-
responding Channel (n) is currently declaring a DLOS
condition. If the DLOS_(n) bit-field contains a “0”, the
Channel (n) is currently declaring the DLOS condi-
tion.
Disabling the DLOS Detector
For debugging purposes, it is useful to be able to dis-
able the DLOS_(n) detector in the XRT73L02. If the
XRT73L02 is operating in the HOST Mode, the DLOS
Detector can be disabled by writing a “1” into the
DLOSDIS_(n) bit-field of Command Register CR2.

OTE
:
Setting both the ALOSDIS_(n) and DLOSDIS_(n)
bit-fields to "1" disables LOS Declaration by Channel (n).
3.6.3
Muting the Recovered Data while the LOS
is being Declared
In some applications it is not desirable for a channel
of the XRT73L02 to recover data and route it to the
Receiving Terminal while the channel is declaring an
LOS condition. Consequently, the XRT73L02 in-
cludes an LOS Muting feature. This feature if en-
abled causes a given channel to halt transmission of
the recovered data to the Receiving Terminal while
the LOS condition is "true". In this case, the
RPOS_(n) and RNEG_(n) output pins are forced to
"0". Once the LOS condition has been cleared, the
channel resumes normal transmission of the recov-
ered data to the Receiving Terminal.
This feature is available whenever the XRT73L02 is
operating in the HOST or Hardware Mode.
a. Operating in the Hardware Mode.
To enable the MUTing upon LOS feature for all chan-
nels of the XRT73L02, pull the LOSMUTEN output
pin "High".
b. Operating in the HOST Mode.
