Interface G703.6 (2 Mbps HDB3)
Coding in accordance with G.703.6 is also known as HDB3-code (High Density Bipolar of order 3). Longer
sequences of zeros, such as can occur with the AMI code are avoided here. If there are 4 consecutive binary
zeros, the infringement of the AMI coding regulation changes the fourth character. This means that a
maximum of 3 consecutive binary values of 0 can occur with the HDB3 code. The polarity of the changed code
elements alternates. The HDB3 code is one of the voltage-free codes.

NOTE
It is possible to select between a balanced line (120 Ω) and an unbalanced line (75 Ω, connected to GND
potential). The line impedances are set with links.
