DESCRIPTION
The DS2176 is a low–power CMOS device specifically
designed for synchronizing receive side loop–timed T–
carrier data streams with system side timing. The de-
vice has several flexible operating modes which simplify
interfacing incoming data to parallel and serial TDM
backplanes. The device extracts, buffers and integrates
ABCD signalling; signalling updates are prohibited dur-
ing alarm or slip conditions. The buffer replaces exten-
sive hardware in existing applications with one “skinny”
24–lead package. Application areas include digital
trunks, drop and insert equipment, transcoders, digital
cross–connects (DACS), private network equipment
and PABX–to–computer interfaces such as DMI and
CPI.

DS2176
OVERVIEW
The DS2176 performs two primary functions: 1)
syn-
chronization
of received T1 PCM data (looped timed) to
host backplane frequencies; 2)
supervision
of robbed–
bit signalling data embedded in the data stream. The
buffer, while optimized for use with the DS2180A T1
Transceiver, is also compatible with other transceiver
devices. The DS2180A data sheet should serve as a
valuable reference when designing with the DS2176.

DATA SYNCHRONIZATION
PCM BUFFER
The DS2176 utilizes a 2–frame buffer (386 bits) to syn-
chronize incoming PCM data to the system backplane
clock. The buffer samples data at RSER on the falling
edge of RCLK. Output data appears at SSER and is up-
dated on the rising edge of SYSCLK. A rising edge at
RMSYNC establishes receive side frame and multi-
frame alignment. A rising edge at SFSYNC establishes
system side frame alignment. The buffer depth is
constantly monitored by onboard contention logic; a
“slip” occurs when the buffer is completely emptied or
filled. Slips automatically recenter the buffer to a one–
frame depth and always occur on frame boundaries.
BUFFER DEPTH MONITORING
SMSYNC is a system side output pulse which indicates
system side multiframe boundaries. The distance be-
tween rising edges at RMSYNC and SMSYNC indi-
cates the current buffer depth. Slip direction and/or an
impending slip condition may be determined by monitor-
ing RMSYNC and SMSYNC real time. SMSYNC is held
high for 65 SYSCLK cycles.
CLOCK SELECT
The device is compatible with two common backplane
frequencies: 1.544 MHz, selected when SCLKSEL=0;
and 2.048 MHz, selected when SCLKSEL=1. In 1.544
MHz applications the F–bit is passed through the re-
ceive buffer and presented at SSER immediately after
the rising edge of the system side frame sync. The F–bit
is dropped in 2.048 MHz applications and the MSB of
channel 1 appears at SSER one bit period after a rising
edge at SFSYNC. SSER is forced to 1 in all channels
greater than 24. See Figures 3 and 4.
In 2.048 MHz applications (SCLKSEL=1), the PCM
buffer control logic establishes slip criteria different from
that used in 1.544 MHz applications to compensate for
the faster system–side read frequency.
SLIP CORRECTION CAPABILITY
The 2–frame buffer depth is adequate for most T–carrier
applications where short–term jitter synchronization,
rather than correction of significant frequency differ-
ences, is required. The DS2176 provides an ideal bal-
ance between total delay and slip correction capability.
BUFFER RECENTERING
Many applications require that the buffer be recentered
during system power–up and/or initialization. Forcing
ALN low recenters the buffer on the occurrence of the
next frame sync boundary. A slip will occur during this
recentering if the buffer depth is adjusted. If the depth is
presently optimum, no adjustment (slip) occurs. SLIP is
held low for 65 SYSCLK cycles when a slip occurs.
SLIP is an active–low, open collector output.
PARALLEL COMPATIBILITY
The DS2176 is compatible with parallel and serial back-
planes. Channel 1 data appears at SSER after a rising
edge at SFSYNC as shown in Figures 3 and 4 (serial ap-
plications, S/P=1). The device utilizes a look–ahead cir-
cuit in parallel applications (S/P=0). Data is output 8
clocks earlier, allowing the user to convert parallel data
externally.
