PIN NAME

PIN DESCRIPTION
TNEG
O
Transmit Negative AMI / Line OH Mask
TNEG: When the port line is configured for B3ZS, HDB3 or AMI mode and the
transmit line interface pins are enabled (
TLEN), a high on this pin
indicates that a negative pulse should be transmitted on the line. The signal is
updated on the positive clock edge of the referenced clock pin if the clock pin signal is
not inverted, otherwise it is updated on the falling edge of the clock. The signal is
typically referenced to the TLCLK line clock output pins, but it can be referenced to
the TCLKO, TCLKI, RLCLK or RCLKO pins.
This output signal can be inverted.
o DS3: 44.736 Mbps +20ppm
o E3: 34.368 Mbps +20ppm
TXP Oa
Transmit
Positive
Analog
TXP: This pin and the TXN pin form a differential AMI output which is coupled to the
outbound 75
W coaxial cable through a 2:1 step-down transformer (
). This
output is enabled when the TX LIU is enabled and the output is enabled to be driven.
When it is not enabled, it is in a high impedance state.

TXN Oa
Transmit
Negative
Analog
TXN: This pin and the TXP pin form a differential AMI output which is coupled to the
outbound 75
W coaxial cable through a 2:1 step-down transformer (
). This
output is enabled when the TX LIU is enabled and the output is enabled to be driven.
When it is not enabled, it is in a high impedance state.
o DS3: 44.736 Mbps +20ppm
o E3: 34.368 Mbps +20ppm
RXP
Ia
Receive Positive analog
RXP: This pin and the RXN pin form a differential AMI input which is coupled to the
outbound 75
W coaxial cable through a 2:1 step-up transformer (
). This input
is used when the RX LIU is enabled and is ignored when the LIU is disabled.

RXN Ia
Receive
Negative
analog
RXN: This pin and the RXP pin form a differential AMI input which is coupled to the
outbound 75
W coaxial cable through a 2:1 step-up transformer (
). This input
is used when the LIU is enabled and is ignored when the LIU is disabled.
o DS3: 44.736 Mbps +20ppm
o E3: 34.368 Mbps +20ppm
RLCLK
I
Receive Line Clock Input
RLCLK: This clock is typically used for the reference clock for the RPOS / RDAT,
RNEG / RLCV signals but can also be used as the reference clock for the RSER,
RSOFO / RDEN, TSOFI, TSER, TSOFO / TDEN, TPOS / TDAT and TNEG signals.
This input is ignored when the LIU is enabled.
This input signal can be inverted.
o DS3: 44.736 MHz +20 ppm
o E3: 34.368 MHz +20 ppm
