GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT7295AE E3 Integrated Line Receiver is a fully
integrates receive interface that terminates a bipolar
E3 (34.3684 Mbps) signal transmitted over coaxial
Cable. This device can be used with the XRT7296
Integrated Line Transmitter (see Figure 10),
The device provides the functions of receive equaliza-
tion (optional) automatic gain control (AGC), clock
recovery and data re-timing, loss of signal and loss-of
frequency lock detection. The digital system interface
is a dual-rail with received positive and negative 1s
appearing as unipolar digital signals on separate output
leads. The on-chip equalizer is designed for cable
losses of 0 to 15dB. The receive input has a variable
input sensitivity control, providing three different sen-
sitivity settings. High input sensitivity allows for signifi-
cant amounts of flat loss or for use with input signals
at the monitor level. Figure 1 shows the block diagram
of the device.
The XRT7295AE is manufactured by using linear
CMOS technology. The XRT7295AE is available in a
20-pin plastic SOJ package for surface mounting. A pin
compatible version is available for DS3 or STS-1
applications. Please refer to the XRT7295AT data
sheet

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Receive Path Configurations
The diagram in Figure 2 shows a typical system
application for the XRT7295AE. In the receive signal
path (see Figure 1), the internal equalizer can be
included by setting REQB=0 or bypass by setting
REQB=1. The equalizer bypass option allows easy
interfacing of the XRT7295AE into systems already
containing the external equalizers. Figure 3 illustrates
the receive path option for two separate cases.
In case 1, the signal from the coaxial cable feeds
directly into the R
IN
input. In this mode, the user should
set REQB=0, engaging the equalizer in the data path
if the cable loss is greater than 6dB. If the cable loss
is less than 6dB, the equalizer is bypassed by setting
the REQB=1.
In case 2, an external line and equalizer network
precedes the XRT7295AE. In this mode, the signal at
R
IN
is already equalized, and the on-chip equalizer
should be bypassed by setting REQB1=1. In both
cases, the signal at R
IN
must meet the amplitude limits
described in Table 1.
The recommended receive termination is also shown in
Figure 3. The 75Ω resistor terminates the coaxial cable
with its characteristic impedance. In Figure 3 case 2,
if the fixed equalizer includes the line termination, the
75Ω resistor is not required. The signal is AC coupled
through the 0.01µF capacitor to R
IN
. The DC bias at R
IN
is generated internally. The input capacitance at the
R
IN
pin is typically 2.8pF (SOJ package).
Pulse Mask at the 34.368 Mbps Interface
Table 2 shows the pulse specifications at the transmit-
ter output post and Figure 4 shows the pulse mask
requirement for E3 as recommended in G.703.

Maximum input amplitude under all conditions is 1.1

The SOJ package performance is enhanced by de-
creased package parasitics.
Although system designers typically use power in dBm
to describe input levels, the XRT7295AE responds to
peak input signal amplitude. Therefore, the
XRT7295AE input signal limits are given in mV pk.
