DS26303 Short-Haul Line Interface Unit vs. IDT82V2048

Abstract

Introduction

This document provides an explanation of the differences between the DS26303 and the IDT82V2048 with emphasis on the information required to use the DS26303 in an existing IDT82V2048 application. The DS26303 is an 8-channel short-haul line interface unit (LIU) that supports E1/T1/J1 from a single 3.3V power supply. This device supports the functions of the IDT82V2048 without software modification, while providing additional features. The DS26303 can be used in an existing IDT82V2048 application without changing PCB layout, but by simply replacing external component values for the desired application.

Descriptions of the feature differences are provided in three separate sections. Table 1 provides a list of DS26303 features not present in the IDT82V2048. Table 2 gives a list of IDT82V2048 features not present in the DS26303. Table 3 provides a list of features present in both the DS26303 and IDT82V2048 that are not implemented the same on both devices.

The differences between registers of the DS26303 and IDT82V2048 are described in Tables 6 through 10, along with the additional functionality provided by additional register banks of the DS26303. Figure 1 and Table 11 provide the minor changes in component values required when using the DS26303 in an existing IDT82V2048 application.

MLCK Pin Functionality The DS26303 and IDT82V2048 both require MCLK to for data with clock recovery as well as AIS detection. The MCLK pin of the IDT82V2048 provides additional functionality not present in the DS26303. IDT82V2048 MCLK held high. The IDT82V2048 slices the incoming bipolar line signal into RZ pulse (data-recovery mode). IDT82V2048 MCLK held low. All the receivers are powered down, and the output pins RCLKn, RDPn, and RDNn are switched to high impedance. Note that wait state generation through RDY/ACK is not available if MCLK is not provided.

Register Considerations

The DS26303 contains four major register banks.

Primary Registers (DS26303 and IDT82V2048)
Secondary Registers (DS26303 and IDT82V2048)
Individual LIU Registers (DS26303 only)
BERT Registers (DS26303 only)

To take advantage of the DS26303's additional features and flexibility, additional code must be added to any original source code written for an IDT82V2048 application. The address pointer control register (ADDP), address 1Fh, is used as a pointer to access the desired register bank. Table 6 provides a list of the DS26303 register banks and the required ADDP value required for access to the desired register bank.

Table 6. Address Pointer Bank Selection
ADDP7 to ADDP0 (Hex)	Bank Name	DS26303	IDT82V2048
00	Primary Bank	Yes	Yes
AA	Secondary Bank	Yes	Yes
01	Individual LIU Bank	Yes	No
02	BERT Bank	Yes	No

The Primary Register Bank of the DS26303 is the same as the IDT82V2048. If the DS26303 is used in the place of an existing IDT82V2048 and only the Primary Register Bank is used, the application software does not require modification. Table 7 provides an overview of the Primary Registers.

1F	ADDP

While both the DS26303 and IDT82V2048 provide a Secondary Register Bank, the registers and functionality is not the same for all the registers. Table 8 provides a list of the registers contained in the Secondary Register Bank and their function for the DS26303 and the IDT82V2048.

Two additional register banks are contained in the DS26303: the Individual LIU Register Bank and the BERT Register Bank. Table 9 presents a list of the registers contained in the Individual LIU Register Bank and Table 10 has a list of the registers contained in the BERT Register Bank To take advantage of the DS26303's additional features and flexibility, additional code must be added to any original source code written for an IDT82V2048 application.

Hardware Considerations

The DS26303 can replace the IDT82V2048 in an existing application without PCB layout changes. All that is needed is to replace external component values for the desired application. Figure 1 provides the recommended DS26303 network termination circuit, and Table 11 provides the component values required for proper termination of the DS26303.

Transmitter

The IDT82V2048 requires transmit-side resistors in series with TTIP and TRING outputs. IDT82V2048 recommends that these resistors should be 0Ω (T1 3.3V mode), 9.5Ω (E1 75Ω coaxial), or 9.1Ω (E1 120Ω twisted pair). The DS26303 does not require the resistors, so any present should be 0Ω in all modes.

Receiver

On the receive side, the IDT82V2048 requires termination resistance of 12.4Ω (T1 3.3V mode), 9.31Ω (E1 75Ω coaxial), or 15Ω (E1 120Ω twisted pair). The DS26303 requires 15Ω termination resistors for all modes when using external impedance mode. If the DS26303's software-selectable impedance-matching mode is used, these resistors are not required. The IDT82V2048 requires 1kΩ resistors in series with the RTIP and RRING pins. If software termination/impedance matching is desired, these 1kΩ resistors should be replaced with 0Ω resistors.
