5 Block Description
5.1 M13/E13 Multiplexer (M13/E13 MUX)
The M13/E13 block (three blocks per device) is a highly
configurable multiplexer/demultiplexer for which each block
can be configured for M13 or E13 operation. The features
are as described below.
5.1.1 M13 MUX
The M13 may operate in the C-bit parity or M23 mode, or a
mixed M13/M23 mode. In the C-bit parity mode, the M13
provides a far-end alarm and control (FEAC) code genera-
tor and receiver, an HDLC transmitter and receiver, and an
automatic far-end block error (FEBE) generator.
Each internal M12 MUX/deMUX and the M23 MUX/deMUX
can be configured to operate as independent MUXes/
deMUXes. 28 DS1 inputs (in groups of four) or 21 E1 input
signals (in groups of three) can feed into individual M12
MUXes, while the M23 MUX can take DS2 signals from
outputs of M12 MUXes, or direct DS2 inputs, or loopback
deMUXed DS2s.
The M13 supports numerous automatic monitoring func-
tions. It can provide an interrupt to the control system, or it
can operate in a polled mode.
The M13 complies with T1.102, T1.107, T1.231, T1.403,
T1.404, GR-499, G.747, and G.775.
5.1.1.1 Receive Direction
The receive DS3 is monitored for loss of clock and loss-of-
signal (LOS) according to T1.231. The B3ZS decoder
accepts either the unipolar clock and data, or unipolar clock
and positive and negative data. It also checks for bipolar
coding violations. The transmit DS3 can be looped back
into the receive side after B3ZS decoding. The M23 demul-
tiplexer checks for valid DS3 framing by finding the frame
alignment pattern (F-bits) and then locating the multiframe
alignment signal (M-bits). During each M frame, the data
stream is checked for the presence of the AIS (1010) or idle
(1100) pattern.
Within the M23 demultiplexer, there are four performance
monitoring counters for F-bit M-bit, P-bit, or E-bit parity, and
FEBE errors. Each M12 demultiplexer contains two perfor-
mance monitoring counters.
5.1.1.2 Transmit Direction
The incoming DS1/E1 clocks are first checked for activity or
loss-of-clock (LOC). The data signals are retimed and
checked for AIS and activity. DS1/E1 loopback selectors
allow the individual DS1/E1 signals within the received DS2
or DS3 to be looped back toward the DS2/DS3 input.
This loopback can be performed automatically, or the user
can force a DS1 or E1 loopback.
The four DS1 or three E1 signals for each M12 MUX are
fed into single-bit, 16-word-deep FIFOs to synchronize the
signals to the DS2 frame generation clock. The fill level of
each FIFO determines the need for bit stuffing its DS1/E1
input. The M13 can handle DS1/E1 signals with nominal
frequency offsets of 130 ppm and up to five unit intervals
peak jitter. The DS2/DS3 transmit clock is used to derive
the clock source for DS2 frame generation.
The M23 multiplexer generates a transmit DS3 frame, and
fills the information bits in the frame with data from the
seven DS2 select blocks.
The transmit DS3 output can either be in the form of unipo-
lar clock and data, or unipolar clock and positive and nega-
tive data. The DS3 data is B3ZS-encoded and can be
looped back from the receive DS3 input.
5.1.2 E13 MUX
The E13 is a functional block that performs MUX/deMUX
from/to 16 E1s, four E2s, and one E3 signal compliant with
ITU G.742 and ITU G.751. The E13 functional block is a
highly configurable multiplexer/demultiplexer. It can oper-
ate in E12, E13, or E23 modes. Each internal E12 MUX/
deMUX and E23 MUX/deMUX is independently config-
urable. The E3 inputs to the receive path can be HDB3-
encoded dual-rail (bipolar) signals or already decoded sin-
gle-rail signals with or without a BPV indication input. The
E1 and E2 inputs are expected to be decoded prior to the
E13 functional block. E3 transmit direction output can be
configured as HDB3-encoded dual rail (bipolar) or as single
rail.
The E13 provides status and two-level priority maskable
interrupt outputs to the microprocessor.
This block is also an independently configurable x4 E12
multiplexer/demultiplexer for up to 16 E1 signals to/from
four E2 signals, and has provisionable time-slot selection
for E1 and E2 insertion or drop via the multirate cross con-
nect functional block. E12/E23 multiplexers are capable of
generating alarm indicator signal (AIS) and remote alarm
indicator (RAI) signals.
E1 and E2 transmit path monitors detect loss-of-clock
(LOC) and AIS. The E2 receive path monitor detects LOC,
AIS, and RAI. The E3 receive monitor detects loss-of-signal
(LOS), LOC, bipolar violations (BPV), AIS, and RAI. E3 and
E2 loopback modes are also available.

5.2 Multirate Cross Connect (MRXC)
The multirate cross connect (MRXC) functional block (one
per device) is a crosspoint switch for DS1/J1/E1/DS2/E2
and DS3/E3 signals. The multirate cross connect routes
signals to/from the major functional blocks and external I/O
pins as necessary for each application. The MRXC can
multicast, route test patterns, idles, or alarm conditions to
any channel, and provide system loopbacks.
For DS1/E1 applications, the multirate cross connect can
interconnect up to 84 individual DS1/E1 channels between
the framer, M13/E13 multiplexer, jitter attenuator, or exter-
nal I/O. The external I/O pins support an application-depen-
dent mix of up to 86 DS1/E1* interfaces (allowing for
dedicated protection channels or additional DS1/E1 chan-
nels), 21 DS2 interfaces, or one of four available system
interfaces.
Independent signal paths for remote alarm indication (RAI)
and alarm indication signal (AIS) on channels between the
M13/E13 and the framer are supported.
The multirate cross connect has independent DS2 inter-
faces for the M12 and M23 subblocks of the M13 MUX. Full
split access to the external I/O device pins provides the
capability to add, drop, or rearrange the DS2 signals within
the M13.
The test-pattern generator/monitor functional block (TPG/
TPM) provides test signals and monitors inputs for signals
to/from the multirate cross connect. The TPG can generate
a set of test signals at DS1, E1, and DS2. There is only one
test pattern generator and monitor per signal rate.
The MRXC also provides the interface to the external pins.
The external pins may be configured to work in four modes:
a transport mode, a concentration highway interface (CHI)
mode, a parallel system bus (PSB) mode, and a network
serial multiplexed interface (NSMI) mode. The first mode is
used to provide dedicated access to the device for DS3/E3/
DS2/E2/DS1/E1 signals, and the last three modes are
described below.
Concentration highway interface (serial time-division
multiplex interface) CHI:
-- Global frame synchronization.
-- Global clock: 8.192 MHz or 16.384 MHz.
-- 18 transmit and 18 receive data ports; data rates:
8.192 Mbits/s or 16.384 Mbits/s.
Parallel system bus (parallel time-division multiplex inter-
face/transmit and receive) PSB:
-- Global frame synchronization.
-- Global clock: 19.44 MHz.
-- Data rate: 19.44 Mbits/s.
-- 8 bits of data + associated parity bit.
-- 4 bits of signaling + 2 bits of signaling control + 1 bit of
parity.
* The 85th and 86th DS1 I/O may only be used for protection channels
with applications in which the other 84 I/O are fixed (see MRXC section
of the Register Description for more information). Otherwise, applica-
tions are practically limited to 84 I/O.
Network serial multiplexed bus (NSMI):
-- Framer--NSMI payload assembled/disassembled into
DS1/E1s.
-- 6-pin or 8-pin serial interface.
-- Transmit and receive clock and data at 51.84 MHz.
-- Provides a minimal pin count interface for data and
inverse multiplexing for ATM (IMA) applications with-
out slip
buffers.
5.3 DS1 Digital Jitter Attenuator (DS1/E1 DJA)
The DS1/E1 digital jitter attenuator (DS1/E1 DJA) block
(three per device), contains 28 copies of the digital jitter
attenuator for a total of 84/63 DS1/E1 DJAs. These digital
jitter attenuator functional blocks can operate in two differ-
ent modes: as a DS1 or as an E1 jitter attenuator.
In both modes, the digital jitter attenuator can be provi-
sioned to always operate as a second-order PLL, or it can
switch to act as a first-order PLL during VT pointer adjust-
ments to help meet MTIE requirements. The period of time
in the first-order mode is provisionable. The PLL bandwidth
is provisionable between 0.1 Hz and 0.5 Hz, and the damp-
ing factor for these bandwidths varies between 2 and 0.5 to
accommodate a number of different system constraints.
The DS1/E1 DJA allows automatic pass-through of an AIS
from M13/E13 blocks.
5.4 Test Pattern Generator/Monitor (TPG/TPM)
The test pattern generator/test pattern monitor functional
block (TPG/TPM) consists of a set of configurable test pat-
tern generators and monitors for local self-test, mainte-
nance, and troubleshooting operations.
The TPG feeds one or more DS1/E1/DS2 test signals (via
data, clock, and FS (DS1/E1 only) or AIS signal paths) to
the multirate cross connect, which can redistribute or
broadcast these signals to any valid channel in the framer,
external I/O, or M13/E13 MUX.
Any channel arriving at the multirate cross connect can be
routed to the test monitor. The test monitor can automati-
cally detect/count bit errors in a pseudorandom test
sequence, loss of frame (DS1/E1 only), or loss of synchro-
nization situation. The TPM can provide an interrupt to the
control system, or it can be operated in a polled mode.
Simultaneous testing of DS1, E1, and DS2 signals is sup-
ported with one channel for each.
Supported test patterns are a quasirandom signal (QRSS),
a pseudorandom bit sequence (PRBS23, PRBS20,
PRBS15), alternating zeros/ones, an all-ones pattern, and
a 16-bit user-provisionable pattern.

DS3/E3/DS2/E2/DS1/E1/DS0
The DS1 and E1 test patterns can be transmitted as either
unframed or as the payload of a framed signal, as defined
in ITU-T Recommendation O.150. DS2 patterns are
unframed only.
Under register control, single bit-errors can be injected into
any test pattern.
5.5 Clock Generator (CG)
The clock generator block may be used optionally to over-
ride the device configuration specified by the
MODE[2:0]_PLL device pins. If the block is not provisioned,
the default mode will generate all the necessary FRM block
PDH clocks, based upon the logic states on the
MODE[2:0]_PLL pins (see the Ultraframer Hardware
Design Guide).
5.6 Framer (FRM)
The DS1/J1/E1 framer block's (three per device) internal
components are described in the following sections. A par-
ticular application will determine which of the components
within the framer are used.
5.6.1 Line Decoder/Encoder
The line decoder/encoder supports either single-rail or
dual-rail transmission. In dual-rail mode, the line codes
supported are as follows:
Alternate mark inversion (AMI)
DS1 binary 8 zero code suppression (B8ZS)
ITU-CEPT high-density bipolar of order three (HDB3)
In the single-rail mode, a line interface unit (LIU) decodes/
encodes the data. In the dual-rail mode, loss-of-signal is
monitored.
In the case of coded mark inversion (CMI) coding (Japa-
nese TTC standard JJ-20.11), the LIU decodes the data,
listing both the CMI coding rule violations (CRVs) and line
coding violations as bipolar violations. (In the CMI mode,
the framer is in the single-rail mode.)
Note: Dual-rail mode is only supported for up to 18 DS1/E1
channels (out of 84/63).
5.6.2 Receive Frame Aligner/Transmit Frame Formatter
The receive frame aligner and transmit frame formatter
support the following frame formats:
D4 superframe
SF D4 superframe: F
T
framing only
J-D4 superframe with Japanese remote alarm
DDS
SLC-96
ESF
J-ESF (J1 standard with different CRC-6 algorithm)
Nonalign DS1 (193 bits--clear channel)
CEPT basic frame (ITU G.706)
CEPT CRC-4 multiframe with 100 ms timer (ITU G.706)
CEPT CRC-4 multiframe with 400 ms timer (automatic
CRC-4/non-CRC-4 equipment interworking) (ITU G.706
Annex B)
Nonalign E1 (256 bits--clear channel)
2.048 coded mark inversion (CMI) coded interface (TTC
standards JJ-20.11)
5.6.3 Receive Performance Monitor
The receive performance monitor detects the following
alarms:
Loss of receive clock
Loss-of-signal
Note: Only available on up to 18 individual DS1/E1
channels in dual-rail mode.
Loss-of-frame
Alarm indication signal (AIS)
Remote frame alarms
Remote multiframe alarms
These alarms are detected as defined by the appropriate
ANSI, AT&T, ITU, and ETSI standards. Performance moni-
toring, as specified by AT&T, ANSI, and ITU, is provided
through counters monitoring the following:
Bipolar violations
Note: Only available on up to 18 individual DS1/E1
channels.
Frame bit errors
CRC errors
Errored events
Errored seconds
Bursty errored seconds
Severely errored seconds
In-band loopback activation and deactivation codes can be
transmitted to the line via the payload or the facility data
link. In-band loopback activation and deactivation codes in
the payload or the facility data link are detected.

5.6.4 Signaling Processor
The signaling processor supports the following modes:
Superframe (D4, SLC-96): 2-state, 4-state, and 16-state
VT 1.5 SPE: 2-state, 4-state, and 16-state
Extended superframe: 2-state, 4-state, and 16-state
CEPT: common channel signaling (CCS) (TS-16)
Transparent (pass through) signaling
J-ESF handling groups
Signaling features supported per channel are as follows:
Signaling debounce
Signaling freeze
Signaling interrupt upon change of state
Associated signaling mode (ASM)
Signaling inhibit
Signaling stomp
Voice and data channels are programmable in the DS1
robbed-bit signaling modes. The entire payload can be
forced into a data-only (no signaling channels) mode i.e.,
transparent mode, achieved by programming one control
bit.
Signaling access occurs through the on-chip signaling reg-
isters or the system interface. Data and its associated sig-
naling information can be accessed through the system in
either DS1 or CEPT-E1 modes.
5.6.5 Facility Data Link (FDL) Processor
The receive facility data link processor monitors the bit-ori-
ented ESF data-link messages defined in ANSI T1.403.
The transmit facility data link unit overrides the FDL-FIFO
for the transmission of the bit-oriented ESF data-link mes-
sages defined in ANSI T1.403-1995.
The FDL processor extracts and stores data link bits from
three different frame types as follows:
D-bits and delineator bits from the SLC-96 multi-super-
frame.
Data link bits from DDS frames (bit 6 of time slot 24).
Two multiframes of Sa[4:8] bits from time slot 0 in CEPT
basic and CRC-4 multiframes.
The respective bits are always extracted from frame-
aligned frames and are stored in a stack. The processor
controls notification of stack updates through the interrupt
(maskable) registers.
The transmit FDL functional block performs the transmis-
sion of D-bits into SLC-96 superframes, Sa-bits in CEPT
frames, and D-bits in DDS frames.
In SLC-96 frames, the D and delineator bits are always
sourced from this functional block when the block is
enabled for insertion.
In DDS frames, the data link bits are always sourced
from this functional block when this block is enabled for
insertion. This functional block also provides the capabil-
ity to transmit BOMs (bit-oriented messages) in the data
link channel of ESF links.
In CEPT frames, the Sa bits are sourced from either the
Sa stack within this functional block or from the system
interface. The data link functional block only responds
with valid data when selected by the Sa source control
bits.
5.6.6 HDLC Unit
The HDLC processor formats the HDLC packets for inser-
tion into the programmable channels. A channel can be any
number of bits (1 to 8) from a time slot.
The maximum number of channels is 64. The maximum
channel bit rate is 64 kbits/s. The minimum channel bit rate
is 4 kbits/s. Each channel is allocated 128 bytes of storage.
HDLC processing of data on the facility data link (PRMs,
Sa-bits, or otherwise) is implemented by assigning the FDL
bit position to a logical HDLC channel.
