GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT7295AT DS3/SONET STS-1 integrated line
receiver is a fully integrated receive interface that
terminates a bipolar DS3 (44.736Mbps) or Sonet STS-1
(51.84Mbps) signal transmitted over coaxial cable. (See
Figure 13).
The device also provides the functions of receive
equalization (optional), automatic-gain control (AGC),
clock-recovery and data retiming, loss-of-signal and
loss-of-frequency-lock detection. The digital system
interface is dual-rail, with received positive and negative
1s appearing as unipolar digital signals on separate
output leads. The on-chip equalizer is designed for cable
distances of 0 to 450ft. from the cross-connect frame to
the device. The receive input has a variable input
sensitivity control, providing three different sensitivity

settings, to adapt longer cables. High input sensitivity
allows for significant amounts of flat loss within the
system.
Figure 1
shows the block diagram of the device.
The XRT7295AT device is manufactured using linear
CMOS technology. The XRT7295AT is available in a
20-pin plastic SOJ package for surface mounting.
Two versions of the chip are available, one is for either
DS3 or STS-1 operation (the XRT7295AT, this data
sheet), and the other is for E3 operation (the XRT7295AE,
refer to the XRT7295AE data sheet). Both versions are
pin compatible.
For either DS3 or STS-1, an input reference clock at
44.736MHz or 51.84MHz provides the frequency
reference for the device.

Description
Analog Ground.
Receive Input.
Analog receive input. This pin is internally biased at about 1.5V in series
with 50 kW.
Test Mode Control 1 and 2.
Internal test modes are enabled within the device by using
TMC1 and TMC2. Users must tie these pins to the ground plane.
PLL Filter 1 and 2.
An external capacitor (0.1mF
±20%)
is connected between these pins.
Receive Loss-of-signal.
This pin is set high on loss of the data signal at the receive input.
(See
Table 6)
Receive PLL Loss-of-lock.
This pin is set high on loss of PLL frequency lock.
Digital Ground for PLL Clock.
Ground lead for all circuitry running synchronously with
PLL clock.
Digital Ground for EXCLK.
Ground lead for all circuitry running synchronously with
EXCLK.
5V Digital Supply (±10%) for PLL Clock.
Power for all circuitry running synchronously
with PLL clock.
5V Digital Supply (±10%) for EXCLK.
Power for all circuitry running synchronously with
EXCLK.
External Reference Clock.
A valid DS3 (44.736MHz
±100ppm)
or STS-1 (51.84MHz +
100ppm) clock must be provided at this input. The duty cycle of EXCLK, referenced to V
DD
/2 levels, must be within 40% - 60% with a minimum rise and fall time (10% to 90%) of 5ns.
Receive Clock.
Recovered clock signal to the terminal equipment.
Receive Negative Data.
Negative pulse data output to the terminal equipment. (See
Figure 11.)
Receive Positive Data.
Positive pulse data output to the terminal equipment. (See
Figure 11)
In-circuit Test Control (Active-low).
If ICT is forced low, all digital output pins (RCLK,
RPDATA, RNDATA, RLOS, RLOL) are placed in a high-impedance state to allow for in-cir-
cuit testing. There is an internal pull-up on this pin.
Receive Equalization Bypass.
A high on this pin bypasses the internal equalizer. A low
places the equalizer in the data path.
Loss-of-signal Threshold Control.
The voltage forced on this pin controls the input loss-
of-signal threshold. Three settings are provided by forcing GND, V
DD
/2, or V
DD
. This pin
must be set to the desired level upon power-up and should not be changed during opera-
tion.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Receive Path Configurations
In the receive signal path (see
Figure 1),
the internal
equalizer can be included by setting REQB = 0 or
bypassed by setting REQB = 1. The equalizer bypass
option allows easy interfacing of the XRT7295AT device
into systems already containing external equalizers.
Figure 3
illustrates the receive path options.
In Case 1 of
Figure 3,
the signal from the DSX-3
cross-connect feeds directly into R
IN
. In this mode, the
user should set REQB = 0, engaging the equalizer in the
data path.
In Case 2 of
Figure 3,
external line build-out (LBO) and
equalizer networks precede the XRT7295AT device. In
this mode, the signal at R
IN
is already equalized, and the
on-chip filters should be bypassed by setting REQB=1.
In applications where the XRT7295AT device is used to
monitor DS3 transmitter outputs directly, the receive
equalizer should be bypassed.
Maximum input amplitude under all conditions is 850mV
pk.
