Description
The MT9042C Multitrunk System Synchronizer
contains a digital phase-locked loop (DPLL), which
provides timing and synchronization signals for
multitrunk T1 and E1 primary rate transmission links.
The MT9042C generates ST-BUS clock and framing
signals that are phase locked to either a 2.048 MHz,
1.544 MHz, or 8 kHz input reference.
The MT9042C is compliant with AT&T TR62411
Stratum 3, 4 and 4 Enhanced, and ETSI ETS 300 011.
It will meet the jitter tolerance, jitter transfer, intrinsic
jitter, frequency accuracy, holdover accuracy, capture
range, phase slope and MTIE requirements for these
specifications.

This output is used for ST-BUS operation at

Guard Time (Schmitt Input).
This input is used by the MT9042B state machine in both
Manual and Automatic modes. The signal at this pin affects the state changes between
Primary Holdover Mode and Primary Normal Mode, and Primary Holdover Mode and
Secondary Normal Mode. The logic level at this input is gated in by the rising edge of F8o.
See Tables 4 and 5.
Guard Time (CMOS Output).
The LOS1 input is gated by the rising edge of F8o, buffered
and output on GTo. This pin is typically used to drive the GTi input through an RC circuit.
Secondary Reference Loss (TTL Input).
This input is normally connected to the loss of
signal (LOS) output signal of a Line Interface Unit (LIU). When high, the SEC reference signal
is lost or invalid. LOS2, along with the LOS1 and GTi inputs control the MT9042B state
machine when operating in Automatic Control. The logic level at this input is gated in by the
rising edge of F8o.
Primary Reference Loss (TTL Input).
Typically, external equipment applies a logic high to
this input when the PRI reference signal is lost or invalid. The logic level at this input is gated
in by the rising edge of F8o. See LOS2 description.
Mode/Control Select 2 (TTL Input).
This input, in conjunction with MS1, determines the
device’s mode (Automatic or Manual) and state (Normal, Holdover or Freerun) of operation.
The logic level at this input is gated in by the rising edge of F8o. See Table 3.
Mode/Control Select 1 (TTL Input).
The logic level at this input is gated in by the rising
edge of F8o. See pin description for MS1.
Reference Source Select (TTL Input).
In Manual Control, a logic low selects the PRI
(primary) reference source as the input reference signal and a logic high selects the SEC
(secondary) input. In Automatic Control, this pin must be at logic low. The logic level at this
input is gated in by the rising edge of F8o. See Table 2.
Frequency Select 2 (TTL Input).
This input, in conjunction with FS1, selects which of three
possible frequencies (8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, or 2.048 MHz) may be input to the PRI and SEC
inputs. See Table 1.
Frequency Select 1 (TTL Input).
See pin description for FS2.
Reset (Schmitt Input).
A logic low at this input resets the MT9042C. To ensure proper
operation, the device must be reset after changes to the method of control, reference signal
frequency changes and power-up. The RST pin should be held low for a minimum of 300 ns.
While the RST pin is low, all frame and all clock outputs except C16o are at logic high; C16o is
at logic low. Following a reset, the input reference source and output clocks and frame pulses
are phase aligned as shown in Figure 19.

MT9042C
Functional Description
Data Sheet
The MT9042C is a Multitrunk System Synchronizer, providing timing (clock) and synchronization (frame) signals to
interface circuits for T1 and E1 Primary Rate Digital Transmission links.
Figure 1 is a functional block diagram which is described in the following sections.
Reference Select MUX Circuit
The MT9042C accepts two simultaneous reference input signals and operates on their falling edges. Either the
primary reference (PRI) signal or the secondary reference (SEC) signal can be selected as input to the TIE
Corrector Circuit. The selection is based on the Control, Mode and Reference Selection of the device. See Tables
1, 4 and 5.
Frequency Select MUX Circuit
The MT9042C operates with one of three possible input reference frequencies (8 kHz, 1.544 MHz or 2.048 MHz).
The frequency select inputs (FS1 and FS2) determine which of the three frequencies may be used at the reference
inputs (PRI and SEC). Both inputs must have the same frequency applied to them. A reset (RST) must be
performed after every frequency select input change. Operation with FS1 and FS2 both at logic low is reserved and
must not be used. See Table 1.

Time Interval Error (TIE) Corrector Circuit
The TIE corrector circuit, when enabled, prevents a step change in phase on the input reference signals (PRI or
SEC) from causing a step change in phase at the input of the DPLL block of Figure 1.
During reference input rearrangement, such as during a switch from the primary reference (PRI) to the secondary
reference (SEC), a step change in phase on the input signals will occur. A phase step at the input of the DPLL will
lead to unacceptable phase changes in the output signal.
As shown in Figure 3, the TIE Corrector Circuit receives one of the two reference (PRI or SEC) signals, passes the
signal through a programmable delay line, and uses this delayed signal as an internal virtual reference, which is
input to the DPLL. Therefore, the virtual reference is a delayed version of the selected reference.
During a switch, from one reference to the other, the State Machine first changes the mode of the device from
Normal to Holdover. In Holdover Mode, the DPLL no longer uses the virtual reference signal, but generates an
accurate clock signal using storage techniques. The Compare Circuit then measures the phase delay between
the current phase (feedback signal) and the phase of the new reference signal. This delay value is passed to
the Programmable Delay Circuit (See Figure 3). The new virtual reference signal is now at the same phase
position as the previous reference signal would have been if the reference switch not taken place. The State
Machine then returns the device to Normal Mode.
