10.12.3 Detailed Description
The receiver performs clock and data recovery from an alternate mark inversion (AMI) coded signal or a B3ZS- or
HDB3-coded AMI signal and monitors for loss of the incoming signal. The transmitter drives standard pulse-shape
waveforms onto 75
Ω
coaxial cable. See
for a detailed functional block diagram of the DS3/E3 LIU.
The jitter attenuator can be mapped into the receiver data path, mapped into the transmitter data path, or be
disabled. The DS3/E3 LIU conforms to the telecommunications standards listed in
shows the
external components required for proper operation.

10.12.4 Transmitter
10.12.4.1 Transmit Clock
The clock used in the LIU Transmitter is typically based on either the CLAD clock or TCLKI, selected by the
CLADC bit in
PORT.CR3
.
10.12.4.2 Waveshaping, Line Build-Out, Line Driver
The waveshaping block converts the transmit clock, positive data, and negative data signals into a single AMI
signal with the waveshape required for interfacing to DS3/E3 lines.

section) show the waveform template specifications and test parameters.
Because DS3 signals must meet the waveform templates at the cross-connect through any cable length from 0 to
450ft, the waveshaping circuitry includes a selectable LBO feature. For cable lengths of 225ft or greater, the TLBO
configuration bit (
PORT.CR2
.TLBO) should be low. When TLBO is low, output pulses are driven onto the coaxial
cable without any preattenuation. For cable lengths less than 225ft, TLBO should be high to enable the LBO
circuitry. When TLBO is high, pulses are preattenuated by the LBO circuitry before being driven onto the coaxial
cable. The LBO circuitry provides attenuation that mimics the attenuation of 225ft of coaxial cable.
