GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRT7295AE E3 Integrated Line Receiver is a fully
integrates receive interface that terminates a bipolar
E3 (34.3684 Mbps) signal transmitted over coaxial
Cable. This device can be used with the XRT7296
Integrated Line Transmitter (see Figure 10),
The device provides the functions of receive equalization (optional) automatic gain control (AGC), clock
recovery and data re-timing, loss of signal and loss-of
frequency lock detection. The digital system interface
is a dual-rail with received positive and negative 1s
appearing as unipolar digital signals on separate output
leads. The on-chip equalizer is designed for cable
losses of 0 to 15dB. The receive input has a variable
input sensitivity control, providing three different sensitivity settings. High input sensitivity allows for significant amounts of flat loss or for use with input signals
at the monitor level. Figure 1 shows the block diagram
of the device.
The XRT7295AE is manufactured by using linear
CMOS technology. The XRT7295AE is available in a
20-pin plastic SOJ package for surface mounting. A pin
compatible version is available for DS3 or STS-1
applications. Please refer to the XRT7295AT data

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Pulse Mask at the 34.368 Mbps Interface
Table 2 shows the pulse specifications at the transmitter output post and Figure 4 shows the pulse mask
requirement for E3 as recommended in G.703.
Receive Path Configurations
The diagram in Figure 2 shows a typical system
application for the XRT7295AE. In the receive signal
path (see Figure 1), the internal equalizer can be
included by setting REQB=0 or bypass by setting
REQB=1. The equalizer bypass option allows easy
interfacing of the XRT7295AE into systems already
containing the external equalizers. Figure 3 illustrates
the receive path option for two separate cases.
Minimum Signal
In case 1, the signal from the coaxial cable feeds
directly into the RIN input. In this mode, the user should
set REQB=0, engaging the equalizer in the data path
if the cable loss is greater than 6dB. If the cable loss
is less than 6dB, the equalizer is bypassed by setting
the REQB=1.

In case 2, an external line and equalizer network
precedes the XRT7295AE. In this mode, the signal at
RIN is already equalized, and the on-chip equalizer
should be bypassed by setting REQB1=1. In both
cases, the signal at RIN must meet the amplitude limits
described in Table 1.
NOTES:
The recommended receive termination is also shown in
Figure 3. The 75Ω resistor terminates the coaxial cable
with its characteristic impedance. In Figure 3 case 2,
if the fixed equalizer includes the line termination, the
75Ω resistor is not required. The signal is AC coupled
through the 0.01µF capacitor to RIN. The DC bias at RIN
is generated internally. The input capacitance at the
RIN pin is typically 2.8pF (SOJ package).

Maximum input amplitude under all conditions is 1.1
Vpk.

The SOJ package performance is enhanced by decreased package parasitics.

Although system designers typically use power in dBm
to describe input levels, the XRT7295AE responds to
peak input signal amplitude. Therefore, the
XRT7295AE input signal limits are given in mV pk.

Line Termination and Input Capacitance
External Loop Filter Capacitor
The recommended receive termination is shown in
Figure 3. The 75Ω resistor terminates the coaxial cable
with its characteristic impedance. The 0.01µF capacitor to RIN couples the signal into the receive input
without disturbing the internally generated DC bias
level present on RIN. The input capacitance at the RIN
pin is 2.8pF.
Figure 3 shows the connection to an external 0.1µF
capacitor at the LPF1/LPF2 pins. This capacitor is part
of the PLL filter. A non-polarized, low-leakage capacitor should be used. A ceramic capacitor with the value
0.1µF +/-20% is acceptable.

some jitter appears on RCLK because of jitter on the
incoming signal. (The following section discussed the
jitter transfer characteristic, which describes the relationship between input and output jitter.) Second, noise
sources within the XRT7295AE or noise sources that
are coupled into the device through the power supplies

internally generated jitter is a function of the PLL
bandwidth, which in turn is a function of the input 1s
density. For higher 1s densities, the amount of generated jitter decreases. Generated jitter also depends on
the quality of the power supply bypassing networks
used. Figure 8 shows the suggested bypassing network, and Table 3 lists the typical generated jitter
performance achievable with this network.

Jitter Transfer Characteristic
Jitter Accommodation
The jitter transfer characteristic indicates the fraction
of input jitter that reaches the RCLK output as a
function of input jitter frequency. Table 3 shows important jitter transfer characteristic parameters. Figure 6
also shows a typical characteristic , with the operating
conditions as described in Table 3.
Under all allowable operating conditions, the jitter
accommodation of XRT7295AE exceeds limits for
error-free operation (BER < 1E-9). The typical (VDD =
5V, T = 25°C, E3 nominal signal level) jitter accommodation of the device is shown in Figure 6.

False-lock is defined as the condition where a PLL
recovered clock obtains stable phase-lock at a frequency not equal to the incoming data rate. The
XRT7295AE uses a combination frequency/phaselock architecture to prevent false-lock. An on-chip
frequency comparator continuously compares the
EXCLK reference to the PLL clock. If the frequency
difference between the EXCLK and PLL clock exceeds
approximately +/-0.5% of EXCLK, correction circuitry
acts to force the reacquisition of the proper frequency
and phase.
