DS21Q58 E1 Quad Transceiver
47 of 74
21.
The line interface unit contains three sections: the receiver, which handles clock and data recovery; the transmitter,
which waveshapes and drives the E1 line; and the jitter attenuator. The line interface control register (LICR),
described below, controls each of these three sections.

21.1 Receive Clock and Data Recovery
The DS21Q58 contains a digital clock recovery system. (See
Figure 3-1
and
Figure 21-2
for more details.) The
device couples to the receive E1 shielded twisted pair or coax through a 1:1 transformer (
Table 21-3
). The
2.048MHz clock attached at the MCLK pin is internally multiplied by 16 through an internal PLL and fed to the clock
recovery system. The clock recovery system uses the clock from the PLL circuit to form a 16 times oversampler,
which is used to recover the clock and data. This oversampling technique offers outstanding jitter tolerance
(
Figure 21-5
).
Normally, RCLK is the recovered clock from the E1 AMI/HDB3 waveform presented at the RTIP and RRING inputs.
When no AMI signal is present at RTIP and RRING, an RCL condition occurs and the RCLK is sourced from the
clock applied at the MCLK pin. If the jitter attenuator is either placed in the transmit path or is disabled, RCLK can
exhibit slightly shorter high cycles of the clock. This is because of the highly oversampled digital clock recovery
circuitry. If the jitter attenuator is placed in the receive path (as is the case in most applications), the jitter attenuator
restores the RCLK to being close to 50% duty cycle. See
Receive AC Characteristics

26.4
for more
details.
21.1.1 Termination
The DS21Q58 is designed to be fully software-selectable for 75 and 120 termination without the need to change
any external resistors. The user can configure the DS21Q58 for 75 or 120 receive termination by setting the
IRTSEL (CCR5.4) bit. When using the internal termination feature, the external termination resistance should be
120 (typically two 60 resistors). Setting IRTSEL = 1 causes the DS21Q58 to internally apply parallel resistance
to the external resistors to adjust the termination to 75 (
Figure 21-3
).
