MINI-LINK E and E Micro
Multiplexer
The three different data types together with check bits and frame lock bits are
sent in a composite data format defined by the frame format that is loaded into
a Frame Format RAM. The 12 frame alignment signal bits are placed at the
beginning of the frame. Stuffing bits are inserted into the composite frame.
Scrambling and FEC Encoding
The synchronous scrambler has a length of 2
17
– 1 and is synchronized each
eighth frame (super frame). The FEC bits are inserted according to the frame
format and are calculated using an interleaving scheme.
The composite data stream consists of a 125 µs long frame, which contains the
above described data types.
