PRODUCT BRIEF
XRT84L18
OCTAL T1 FRAMER
OCTOBER 2000
REV. A1.0.1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT84L18 octal T1 Framer is a single chip de-
vice which integrates 8 T1 framers and transmitters
for terminating DS1 Signals. Each framer has its own
framing synchronizer and transmit-receive slip
bufffers, and can be independently enabled or dis-
abled as required and can be configured to frame to
the common DS1 signal formats
Each Framer block contains its own Transmit and Re-
ceive T1 Framing function. The Transmit HDLC con-
troller encapsulates contents of the Transmit HDLC
buffers into LAPD Message frames. The Receive
HDLC controller extracts payload content of Receive
LAPD Message frames from the incoming T1 data
stream and writes it into the Receive HDLC buffer.
Each framer also contains a Transmit and Overhead
Data Input port, which permits “Data Link” Terminal
Equipment direct access to the outbound T1 frames
Likewise, a Receive Overhead output data port per-
mits Data Link Terminal Equipment direct access to
the Data Link bits of the inbound T1 frames.
The XRT84L18 fully meets all of the latest T1 specifi-
cations: ANSI T1.403-1995, ANSI T1.231-1993,
AT&T TR62411 (12-90), AT&T TR54016 and
TR62411, and ITU G-703, G.704, G706 and G.733.
Extensive test and diagnostic functions include Loop-
backs, Boundary scan, Pseudo Random bit se-
quence (PRBS) test pattern generation, Performance
Monitor,
Bit Error Rate (BER) meter, and forced error
insertion.
