XRT84L38
OCTAL T1/E1/J1 FRAMER
SEPTEMBER 2006
REV. 1.0.1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT84L38 is an eight-channel 1.544 Mbit/s or
2.048 Mbit/s DS1/E1/J1 framing controller. The
XRT84L38 contains an integrated DS1/E1/J1 framer
which provides DS1/E1/J1 framing and error
accumulation in accordance with ANSI/ITU_T
specifications. Each framer has its own framing
synchronizer and transmit-receive slip buffers, and
can be independently enabled or disabled as
required and can be configured to frame to the
common DS1/E1/J1 signal formats
Each Framer block contains its own Transmit and
Receive T1/E1/J1 Framing function including 3 HDLC
controllers to support V5.2. Each Transmit HDLC
controller encapsulates contents of the Transmit
HDLC buffers into LAPD Message frames. Each
Receive HDLC controller extracts payload content of
Receive LAPD Message frames from the incoming
T1/E1/J1 data stream and writes it into the Receive
HDLC buffer. Each framer also contains a Transmit
and Overhead Data Input port, which permits Data
Link Terminal Equipment direct access to the
outbound T1/E1/J1 frames Likewise, a Receive
Overhead output data port permits Data Link Terminal
Equipment direct access to the Data Link bits of the
inbound T1/E1/J1 frames.
The XRT84L38 fully meets all of the latest T1/E1/J1
specifications:
ANSI T1/E1.107-1988, ANSI T1/
E1.403-1995, ANSI T1/E1.231-1993, ANSI T1/
E1.408-1990, AT&T TR 62411 (12-90) TR54016, and
ITU G-703, G.704, G706 and G.733, AT&T Pub.
43801, and ETS 300 011, 300 233, JT G.703, JT
G.704, JT G706, I.431. Extensive test and diagnostic
functions include Loop-backs, Boundary scan,
Pseudo Random bit sequence (PRBS) test pattern
generation, Performance Monitor, Bit Error Rate
(BER) meter, forced error insertion, and LAPD
unchannelized data payload processing according to
ITU-T standard Q.921.
