3 CHANNEL E3/DS3/STS-1 LINE INTERFACE UNIT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT73L03 is a 3-Channel, E3/DS3/STS-1 Line
Interface Unit designed for E3, DS3 or SONET STS-1
applications and consists of three independent line
transmitters and receivers integrated on a single chip.
Each channel of the XRT73L03 can be configured to
support the E3 (34.368 Mbps), DS3 (44.736 Mbps) or
the SONET STS-1 (51.84 Mbps) rates. Each channel
can be configured to operate in a mode/data rate that
is independent of the other channels.
In the transmit direction, each channel in the
XRT73L03 encodes input data to either B3ZS or
HDB3 format and converts the data into the appropri-
ate pulse shapes for transmission over coaxial cable
via a 1:1 transformer.
In the receive direction, the XRT73L03 can perform
Equalization on incoming signals, perform Clock Re-
covery, decode data from either B3ZS or HDB3 for-
mat, convert the receive data into TTL/CMOS format,
check for LOS or LOL conditions and detect and de-
clare the occurrence of Line Code Violations.
