CN8380
Quad T1/E1 Line Interface
The CN8380 is a fully integrated quad line interface unit for both 1.544 Mbps (T1) and
2.048 Mbps (E1) applications. It is designed to complement T1/E1 framers or operate as
a stand-alone line interface to synchronous or plesiochronous mappers and
multiplexers. The device can be controlled through a host mode serial port or by
hardware mode operation, where device control and status are obtained through
non-multiplexed dedicated pins. Many of these pins are also dedicated to individual
channels for maximum flexibility and for use in redundant systems. Integrated in the
CN8380 device is a clock rate adapter (CLAD), which provides various low-jitter
programmable system clock outputs. The receive section of the CN8380 is designed to
recover encoded signals from lines having up to 12 dB of attenuation. The transmit
section consists of a programmable, precision pulse shaper.
