TP3404

Quad Digital Adapter for Subscriber Loops (QDASL)

General Description

The TP3404 is a combination 4-line transceiver for voice and

data transmission on twisted pair subscriber loops, typically

in PBX line card applications. It is a companion device to the

TP3401/2/3 DASL single-channel transceivers. In addition to

4 independent transceivers, a time-slot assignment circuit is

included to support interfacing to the system backplane.

Each QDASL line operates as an ISDN “U” Interface for

short loop applications, typically in a PBX environment, pro-

viding transmission for 2 B channels and 1 D channel.

Full-duplex transmission at 144 kb/s is achieved on single

twisted wire pairs using a burst-mode technique (Time Com-

pression Multiplexed). All timing sequences necessary for

loop activation and de-activation are generated on-chip.

Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI) line coding is used to ensure

low error rates in the presence of noise with lower emi

radiation than other codes such as Biphase (Manchester).

On #24 AWG cable the range is at least 1.8 km (6k ft.).

Pin Descriptions

Pin Pin Description

No. Name

1 GNDA Analog Ground or 0V. All analog signals are referenced to this pin.

15 GNDD Digital Ground 0V. It must connect to GNDA with a shortest possible trace. This can be done directly

underneath the part.

28 VDDA Positive power supply input to QDASL analog section. It must be 5V ±5%.

16 VDDD Positive power supply input to QDASL digital section. It must be 5V ±5%, and connect to VDDA with the

shortest possible trace. This can be done directly underneath the part.

11 FS Frame Sync input: this signal is the 8 kHz clock which defines the start of the transmit and receive frames

at the digital interfaces.

9 MCLK This pin is the 4.096 MHz Master Clock input, which requires a CMOS logic level clock from a stable

source. MCLK must be synchronous with BCLK.

10 BCLK Bit Clock logic input, which determines the data shift rate for B and D channel data at the BI, BO, DI and

DO pins. BCLK may be any multiple of 8 kHz from 256 kHz to 4.096 MHz, but must be synchronous with

MCLK.

12 BI Time-division multiplexed input for B1 and B2 channel data to be transmitted to the 4 lines. Data on this

pin is shifted in on the failing edge of BCLK into the B1 and B2 channels during the selected transmit

time-slots.

13 BO Time-division multiplexed receive data output bus. B1 and B2 channel data from all 4 lines is shifted out

on the rising edge of BCLK on this pin during the assigned receive time-slots. At all other times this output

is TRI-STATE (high impedance).

14 TSB This pin is an open-drain output which is normally high impedance but pulls low during any active B

channel receive time slots at the BO pin.

7 DI Time-division multiplexed input for D channel data to be transmitted to the 4 lines. Data on this pin is

shifted in on the failing edge of BCLK into the D channel during the selected transmit sub-time-slots.

8 DO Time-division multiplexed output for D channel data received from the 4 lines. Data on this pin is shifted

out on the rising edge of BCLK during the selected receive sub-time-slot.

19 CCLK Microwire Control Clock input. This clock shifts serial control information into CI and out from CO when the

CS input is low, depending on the current instruction. CCLK may be asynchronous with the other system

clocks.

21 CI Control data Input. Serial control information is shifted into the QDASL on this pin on the rising edges of

CCLK when CS is low.

17 INT Interrupt request output, a latched output signal which is normally high impedance and goes low to

indicate a change of status of any of the 4 loop transmission systems. This latch is cleared when the

Status Register is read by the microprocessor. Bipolar Violation does not effect this output.

20 CO Control data Output. Serial control/status information is shifted out from the QDASL on this pin on the

falling edges of CCLK when CS is low.

18 CS Chip Select input. When this pin is pulled low, the Microwire interface is enabled to allow control

information to be written in to and out from the device via the CI and CO ins. When high, this pin inhibits

the Microwire interface.

Functional Description

The QDASL contains 4 transceivers, each of which can

interoperate with any of the TP340X family of single-channel

DASL transceivers. Each QDASL transceiver has its own

independent line transmit and receive section, timing recov-

ery circuit, scrambler/descrambler and loop activation con-

troller. Functions which are shared by the 4 transceivers

include the Microwire control port and the digital interface

with time-slot assignment.

BURST MODE OPERATION

For full-duplex operation over a single twisted-pair, burst

mode timing is used, with the QDASL end of each line acting

as the loop timing master, and the DASL at the terminal

being the timing slave (the QDASL transceivers cannot op-

erate in loop timing slave mode).

Each burst within a DASL line is initiated by the QDASL

Master transmitting a start bit, for burst framing, followed by

the B1, B2 and D channel data from 2 consecutive 8 kHz

frames, combined in the format shown in Figure 1. During

transmit bursts the receiver input for that channel is inhibited

to avoid disturbing the adaptive circuits. The slave’s receiver

is enabled at this time and it synchronizes to the start bit of

the burst, which is always an unscrambled “1” (of the oppo-

site polarity to the last “1” sent in the previous burst). When

the slave detects that 36 bits following the start bit have been

received, it disables the received input, waits 6 line symbol

periods to match the other end settling guard time, and then

begins to transmit its burst back towards the master, which

by this time has enabled its receiver input. The burst repeti-

tion rate is thus 4 kHz.

LINE TRANSMIT SECTIONS

Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI) line coding, in which binary

“1”s are alternately transmitted as a positive pulse then a

negative pulse, is used on each DASL line because of its

spectral efficiency and null DC energy content. All transmit-

ted bits, excluding the start bit, are scrambled by a 9-bit

scrambler to provide good spectral spreading with a strong

timing content. The scrambler feedback polynomial is: X

+1.

Pulse shaping is obtained by means of a Digital to Analog

Converter followed by a Continuous Smoothing Filter, in

order to limit RF energy and crosstalk while minimizing

Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI). Figure 2 shows the pulse

01192403

Functional Description (Continued)

shape at the Lo output, while a template for the typical power

spectrum transmitted to the line with random data is shown

in Figure 3.

Each line-driver output, Lo0–Lo3, is designed to drive a

transformer through a capacitor and termination resistor. A

1:1 transformer, terminated in 100Ω, results in signal ampli-

tude of typically 1.3 Vpk on the line. Over-voltage protection

must be included in each interface circuit.

LINE RECEIVE SECTIONS

The input of each receive section, Li0–Li3, consists of a

continuous anti-alias filter followed by a switched-capacitor

low-pass filter designed to limit the noise bandwidth with

minimum intersymbol interference. To correct pulse attenu-

ation and distortion caused by the transmission line an AGC

circuit and first-order equalizer adapt to the received pulse

shape, thus restoring a “flat” channel response with maxi-

mum received eye opening over a wide spread of cable

attenuation characteristics.

From the equalized output a DPLL (Digital Phase-Locked

Loop) recovers a low-jitter clock for optimum sampling of the

received symbols. The MCLK input provides the reference

clock for the DPLL at 4.096 MHz.

Following detection of the recovered symbols, the received

data is de-scrambled by the same X

+ 1 polynomial

and presented to the digital system interface circuit.

When a transmission line is de-activated, a Line-Signal De-

tect Circuit is enabled to detect the presence of incoming

bursts if the far-end starts to activate the loop.

Functional Description (Continued)

ACTIVATION AND LOOP SYNCHRONIZATION

Activation (i.e. power-up and loop synchronization) may be

initiated from either end of the loop. If the master (QDASL)

end is activating the loop, it sends normal bursts of

scrambled “1”s which are detected by the slave’s line-signal-

detect circuitry. The slave then replies with bursts of

scrambled “1”s synchronized to the received bursts, and the

Framing Detection circuit at each end searches for 4 con-

secutive correctly formatted receive bursts to acquire full

loop synchronization. The QDASL receiver indicates when it

is correctly in sync with received bursts by setting an indica-

tion in the Status Register and pulling the INT pin low.

For the slave end to initiate activation, it begins transmission

of alternate bursts i.e., the burst repetition rate is 2 kHz, not

4 kHz. At this point the slave is running from its local oscil-

lator and is not receiving any sync information from the

master. When the master’s Line-Signal Detect Circuit recog-

nizes this “wake-up” signal, the appropriate QDASL line

must be activated by writing to the Control Register. The

master begins to transmit bursts synchronized, as normal, to

the FS input with a 4 kHz repetition rate. This enables the

slave’s receiver to correctly identify burst timing from the

master and to re-synchronize its own burst transmissions to

those it receives. The Framing Detection Circuits then ac-

quire full loop sync as described earlier.

Loop synchronization is considered to be lost if the Framing

Detection Circuit does not find four framing marks of the four

consecutive 4 kHz line frames. At this point an indication is

set in the Status Register, the INT output is pulled low, and

the receiver searches to re-acquire loop sync.

MICROWIRE CONTROL INTERFACE

A serial interface, which can be clocked independently from

the B and D channel system interfaces, is provided for

microcontroller access to the time-slot assignment, Control

and Status Registers in the QDASL. The microcontroller is

normally the timing master of this interface, and it supplies

the CCLK and CS signals.

All data transfers consist of simultaneous read and write

cycles, in which 2 continuous bytes are sampled on the CI

pin, at the same time as 2 bytes are shifted out from the CO

pin, see Figure 6. The first byte is a register address and the

second is the data. To initiate a Microwire read/write cycle,

CS must be pulled low for 16 cycles of CCLK. Data on CI is

sampled on rising edges of CCLK, and shifted out from CO

on failing edges. When CS is high, the CO pin is in the

high-impedance TRI-STATE, enabling the CO pins of many

devices to be multiplexed together.

Whenever a change (except Bipolar Violation) in any of the

QDASL status conditions occurs, the Interrupt output INT is

pulled low to alert the microprocessor to initiate a read cycle

of the Status Register. This latched output is cleared when

the read cycle is initiated.

Table 1 lists the address map of control functions and status

indicators. Table 2 lists the addresses for the Control Regis-

ters for each QDASL line. Even-numbered addresses are

read-write cycles, in which the data returned by the CO pin is

previous contents of the addressed register. Odd-numbered

addresses are readback commands only.

LINE CONTROL REGISTERS CTRLN

Each of the 4 transceivers has a Line Control Register,

CTRL0–CTRL3, which provides for control of loop activa-

tion, Ioopbacks, Interrupt enabling and D channel interface

enabling. Table 3 lists the functions.

POWER ON INITIALIZATION

Following the initial application of power, the QDASL enters

the power-down (de-activated) state, in which all the internal

circuits are inactive and in a low power state except for a

Line-Signal Detect Circuit for each of the 4 lines, and the

necessary bias circuits. The 4 line outputs, Lo0–Lo3, are in

a high impedance state and all digital outputs are inactive. All

bits in the Line Control Registers power-up initially set to “0”.

While powered-down, each Line-Signal Detect Circuit con-

tinually monitors its line, to detect if the far-end initiates loop

transmission.

POWER-UP/DOWN CONTROL

To power-up the device and initiate activation, bit C7 in any

of the 4 Line Control Registers must be set high, see Table 3.

Setting C7 low de-activates the loop, or puts the channel in

power-down state. During power-down state, internal regis-

ter data is retained, and still can be accessed.

LOOPBACKS

Four different loopbacks can be set for each line. They are

enabled and disabled by setting the corresponding bits in the

Control Register, see Table 3. In addition, a line must be

activated to see the effect of loopback commands.

1. 2B+D Line Loopback

When bit 5 is set to 1, this loop will transfer all three

channels, B1, B2 and D, that are received at the Li pin

back to the Lo pin. Data out on BO/DO is still the same

as received at the Li input.

2. B1 Line Loopback

When bit 4 is set high, the loop path is the same as (1)

but only data on the B1 channel is looped back to the

line. Transmit data in the B2 and D channels is from the

Bi/DI pins.

3. B2 Line Loopback

As (2) but for the B2 channel.

4. 2B+D Digital Loopback

This loop will transfer all data (2B+D) received at BI/DI

back to BO/DO. The data is also transmitted to the line.

TIME-SLOT ASSIGNMENT

The digital interface of the QDASL uses time-division multi-

plexing, with data framed in up to 64 possible 8-bit time-slots

per 125 µs frame. Channels B1 and B2 for all 4 lines are

clocked in (towards the line) at the BI pin and clocked out

(from the line) at the BO pin. A separate port is provided for

TP3404

www.national.com 8

Functional Description (Continued)

the D channel data for all 4 lines, which is clocked in on DI

and out on DO. In addition to time-slot assignment, D chan-

nel data may be assigned into 2-bit sub-slots within each

time slot, with up to 256 sub-slots per frame (with BCLK =

4.096 MHz). Each frame starts with the first positive edge of

BCLK after the FS signal goes high, and counting of

timeslots starts from zero at the beginning of the frame.

Figure 4 shows the timing, with some example time-slot

assignments.

For each of the 4 QDASL lines there are 6 Time-Slot Assign-

ment control registers, one each for transmit and receive B1,

B2 and D channels. Selection of time-slots for transmit data

into the BI or DI pin is made by writing the timeslot number

(in Hex notation) into the appropriate TSX register. TSXB1 is

the time-slot assignment for the transmit B1, TSXB2 is the

time-slot assignment register for the transmit B2 channel

and TSXD is the sub-slot assignment register for the trans-

mit D channel.

In the same manner the time-slot number should be written

into the appropriate TSR registers for receive data at the BO

and DO pins. TSRB1 is the time-slot assignment for the

receive B1 channel, TSRB2 is the time-slot assignment reg-

ister for the receive B2 channel and TSRD is the sub-slot

assignment register for the receive D channel.

Whenever any receive time-slot is active at BO, the TSB

output is also pulled low.

REGISTERS TSXB1, TSXB2, TSRB1, TSRB2

The data format for all B channel time-slot assignment reg-

isters is shown in Table 4.

BIT 7 TRANSPARENCY CONTROL: EB

This bit enables or disables data transparency between the

digital interface and the line interface for the selected chan-

nel.

EB = 0 disables the channel.

EB = 1 enables the channel.

When the transmit direction (towards the line) is disabled

there will be all “ONE’s” (scrambled) as data for this channel

at the Lo pin. If the receive direction (from the line) is

disabled, BO will stay high impedance for the programmed

time slot while, if it is enabled, data out on BO in the

assigned time slot is the data from Li.

BITS 5–0: TS5–TS0

These bits define the binary number of the time-slot se-

lected. Time-slots are numbered from 0–63. The frame sync

signal is used as marker pulses for the beginning of time slot

STATUS REGISTER

Status information for all 4 channels may be read from the

common Status Register by addressing location X'FF. 2 bits

per line are coded as shown in Table 6. A change in the

status of 1 or more lines is indicated by the INT pin being

pulled low, provided bit 2 of the corresponding control regis-

ter is set to “ONE” to enable the interrupt for that line.

BIPOLAR VIOLATION DETECTOR

On an activated line, whenever a line error is received there

will be a violation of the AMI coding rule. This is reported by

setting the code 10 for that line. The violation indication is

cleared to 11 after a read of the Status Register.

As an example of the interpretation of the Status Register

contents, if the byte 2 read back from the Status Register

=00111001 (=X'39), this indicates the following status of the

4 lines: line 3 is deactivated; line 2 is in sync with no error

since the last read cycle; line 1 is in sync but there has been

1 or more errors since the last read cycle of the Status

mission is not synchronized.

Applications Information

POWER SUPPLIES

While the pins of the TP3404 QDASL device are well pro-

tected against electrical misuse, it is recommended that the

standard CMOS practice of applying GND to the device

before any other connections are made should always be

followed. In applications where the printed circuit card may

be plugged into a hot socket with power and clocks already

present, an extra long ground pin on the connector should be

used.

To minimize noise sources, the VDDA and VDDD pins

should be connected together via the shortest possible

trace; likewise the GNDA and GNDD pins must be con-

nected together. These two connections can be done directly

underneath the part. All other ground connections to each

device should meet at a common point as close as possible

to the GNDD pin in order to prevent the interaction of ground

return currents flowing through a common bus impedance. A

power supply decoupling capacitor of 0.1 µF should be

connected from this common point to VDDD as close as

possible to the device pins.

Figure 5 shows a typical 4 line application of the QDASL.

The current list of suitable commercial transformers is:

Note that the Zener diode protection shown in Figure 8 is

only intended as secondary protection for inside wiring ap-

plications; primary protection is also necessary. Further in-

formation can be found in the datasheet for the TP3401/2/3

DASL devices and in Application Note AN-509 “Using the

TP3401/2/3 ISDN PBX Transceivers”.
