DESCRIPTION
The DS3160 device, which combines a line interface unit (LIU) with a formatter and framer, is compliant
with the JT 6312kbps secondary-rate user-network interface and supports the G.704 and NTT J2 frame
formats. A full-featured LIU with integrated jitter attenuator supports a software-programmable framer
and formatter. Framer features include alarm and error detection, on-chip HDLC controller for processing
of M-bit information, and programmable timeslot data-enable signal for 1.5Mbps, 3Mbps, 4.5Mbps, and
6Mbps frame formats. The formatter adds the required overhead to the user data and has the additional
capability of generating diagnostic errors. Loopback features, together with an on-chip bit-error-rate test
(BERT) function, allow easy isolation and monitoring of network segments.
Note:
Some revisions of this device may incorporate deviations from published specifications known as errata. Multiple
revisions of any device may be simultaneously available through various sales channels. For information about device errata,

- 1, and quasirandom signal
source (QRSS) as well as repetitive patterns from 1 to 32 bits in length
Large error counter (24 bits) allows testing to proceed for long periods without host intervention
Errors can be inserted into the generated BERT patterns for diagnostic purposes
Diagnostics
Diagnostic loopbacks (transmit to receive)
Line loopbacks (receive to transmit)
Payload loopback
Error counters for bipolar violations, code violations, loss of frame (LOF), framing bit errors, and
CRC errors
Error counters can be either updated automatically on 1-second boundaries as timed by the DS3160,
or by software control, or by an external hardware pulse
Can insert the bipolar violation errors and framing bit errors
Inserted errors can be either controlled by software or by an external hardware pulse
Generates loss of frame
Control Port
Nonmultiplexed or multiplexed 16-bit control port (with an optional 8-bit mode)
Intel and Motorola bus compatible
Packaging and Power
3.3V low-power CMOS with 5V tolerant inputs and outputs
100-pin LQFP package
