DS2181A
DESCRIPTION
The DS2181A is designed for use in CEPT networks and supports all logical requirements of CCITT Red
Book Recommendations G.704, G.706 and G.732. The transmit side generates framing patterns and
CRC4 codes, formats outgoing channel and signaling data, and produces network alarm codes when
enabled. The receive side decodes the incoming data and establishes frame, CAS multiframe, and CRC4
multiframe alignments. Once synchronized, the device extracts channel, signaling, and alarm data.
A serial port allows access to 14 on-chip control and status registers in the processor mode. In this mode,
a host processor controls features such as error logging, per-channel code manipulation, and alteration of
the receive synchronizer algorithm.
The hardware mode is intended for preliminary system prototyping and/or retrofitting into existing
systems. This mode requires no host processor and disables special features available in the processor
mode.

SYMBOL
TMSYNC
TYPE

DESCRIPTION
Transmit Multiframe Sync.
Low-high transition establishes start of
CAS and/or CRC4 multiframe. Can be tied low, allowing internal
multiframe counter to run free.
Transmit Frame Sync.
Low-high transition every frame period
establishes frame boundaries. Can be tied low, allowing TMSYNC to
establish frame boundaries.
Transmit Clock.
2.048 MHz primary clock.
Transmit Channel Clock.
256 kHz clock which identifies timeslot
boundaries. Useful for parallel-to-serial conversion of channel data.
Transmit Serial Data.
NRZ data input, sampled on falling edges of
TCLK.
Transmit Multiframe Out.
Output of multiframe counter; high
during frame 0, low otherwise.
Transmit Extra Data.
Sampled on falling edge of TCLK during bit
times 5, 7, and 8 of timeslot 16 in frame 0 when CAS signaling is
enabled.
Transmit Signaling Timeslot.
High during timeslot 16 of every
frame, low otherwise.
Transmit Signaling Data.
CAS signaling data input; sampled on
falling edges of TCLK for insertion into outgoing timeslot 16 when
enabled.
Transmit International and National Data.
Sampled on falling
edge of TCLK during bit 1 time of timeslot 0 every frame
(international) and/or during bit times 4 through 8 of timeslot 0 during
non-align frames (national) when enabled.
Transmit Alignment Frame.
High during frames containing the
frame alignment signal, low otherwise.
Transmit Bipolar Data Outputs.
Updated on rising edge of TCLK.

DESCRIPTION
Receive Multiframe Search Active.
This pin will transition high
when the synchronizer searching for the CAS multiframe alignment
word is active.
Receive Frame Search Active.
This pin will transition high when the
synchronizer searching for the FAS is active.
Receive CRC4 Time Out.
This pin will transition high when the
RCTO counter reaches its maximum count of 32. The pin will return
low when either the DS2181AQ reaches CRC4 multiframe
synchronization, or if CRC4 is disabled via CRC.2, or if the device is
issued a hardware reset via the
RST
pin.
Receive CRC4 Search Active.
This pin will transition high when the
synchronizer searching for the CRC4 multiframe alignment word is
active.
