1. MULTICHIP MODULE DESCRIPTION

The 4 x 4 and 4 x 3 multichip modules (MCM) offer a high-density packaging arrangement for the
DS21Q42 T1 Enhanced Quad Framer. Either three (DS21FT42) or four (DS21FF42) silicon die of these
devices is packaged in an MCM with the electrical connections as shown in Figure 1-1.
All of the functions available on the DS21Q42 are also available in the MCM packaged version.
However, in order to minimize package size, some signals have been deleted or combined. These
differences are detailed in Table 1-1. In the 4 x 3 (FT) version, the fourth quad framer is not populated
and hence all of the signals to and from this fourth framer are absent and should be treated as No
Connects (NC). Table 2-1 lists all of the signals on the MCM and it also lists the absent signals for the
4 x 3.
The availability of both a 12-channel and a 16-channel version allow the maximum framer density with
the lowest cost. For example, in a T3 application, two devices (one DS21FF42 and one DS21FT42)
provide 28 framers without the additional cost and power consumption of any unused framers that appear
in an octal approach.

DESCRIPTION

The DS21Q42 is an enhanced version of the DS21Q41B Quad T1 Framer. The DS21Q42 contains four
framers that are configured and read through a common microprocessor compatible parallel port. Each
framer consists of a receive framer, receive elastic store, transmit formatter and transmit elastic store. All
four framers in the DS21Q42 are totally independent, they do not share a common framing synchronizer.
Also the transmit and receive sides of each framer are totally independent. The dual two-frame elastic
stores contained in each of the four framers can be independently enabled and disabled as required. The
device fully meets all of the latest T1 specifications including ANSI T1.403–1995, ANSI T1.231–1993,
AT&T TR 62411 (12–90), AT&T TR54016, and ITU G.704 and G.706.
5. DS21Q42 INTRODUCTION

The DS21Q42 is a superset version of the popular DS21Q41 Quad T1 framer offering the new features
listed below. All of the original features of the DS21Q41 have been retained and software created for the
original device is transferable to the DS21Q42.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The receive side framer locates D4 (SLC–96) or ESF multiframe boundaries as well as detects incoming
alarms including, carrier loss, loss of synchronization, blue (AIS) and yellow alarms. If needed, the
receive side elastic store can be enabled in order to absorb the phase and frequency differences between
the recovered T1 data stream and an asynchronous backplane clock which is provided at the RSYSCLK
input. The clock applied at the RSYSCLK input can be either a 2.048 MHz clock or a 1.544 MHz clock.
The RSYSCLK can be a burst clock with speeds up to 8.192 MHz.
The transmit side of the DS21Q42 is totally independent from the receive side in both the clock
requirements and characteristics. Data off of a backplane can be passed through a transmit side elastic
store if necessary. The transmit formatter will provide the necessary frame/multiframe data overhead for
T1 transmission.
READER’S NOTE:

This data sheet assumes a particular nomenclature of the T1 operating environment. In each 125 us
frame, there are 24 8–bit channels plus a framing bit. It is assumed that the framing bit is sent first
followed by channel 1. Each channel is made up of 8 bits which are numbered 1 to 8. Bit number 1 is
the MSB and is transmitted first. Bit number 8 is the LSB and is transmitted last. Throughout this data
sheet, the following abbreviations will be used:Superframe (12 frames per multiframe) Multiframe Structure
SLC–96Subscriber Loop Carrier – 96 Channels (SLC–96 is an AT&T registered trademark)

DS21FT42/DS21FF42
NOTES:

1. Test Registers 1 and 2 are used only by the factory; these registers must be cleared (set to all zeros) on
power– up initialization to insure proper operation.
2. Register banks AxH, BxH, CxH, DxH, ExH, and FxH are not accessible.
8. PARALLEL PORT

The DS21Q42 is controlled via either a nonmultiplexed (MUX = 0) or a multiplexed (MUX = 1) bus by
an external microcontroller or microprocessor. The DS21Q42 can operate with either Intel or Motorola
bus timing configurations. If the BTS pin is tied low, Intel timing will be selected; if tied high, Motorola
timing will be selected. All Motorola bus signals are listed in parenthesis (). See the timing diagrams in
the A.C. Electrical Characteristics in Section 25 for more details.
9. CONTROL, ID AND TEST REGISTERS

The operation of each framer within the DS21Q42 is configured via a set of eleven control registers.
Typically, the control registers are only accessed when the system is first powered up. Once a channel in
the DS21Q42 has been initialized, the control registers will only need to be accessed when there is a
change in the system configuration. There are two Receive Control Register (RCR1 and RCR2), two
Transmit Control Registers (TCR1 and TCR2), and seven Common Control Registers (CCR1 to CCR7).
Each of the eleven registers are described in this section. There is a device Identification Register (IDR)
at address 0Fh. The MSB of this read–only register is fixed to a zero indicating that the DS21Q42 is
present. The E1 pin–for–pin compatible version of the DS21Q42 is the DS21Q44 and it also has an ID
register at address 0Fh and the user can read the MSB to determine which chip is present since in the
DS21Q42 the MSB will be set to a zero and in the DS21Q44 it will be set to a one. The lower four bits
of the IDR are used to display the die revision of the chip.
POWER–UP SEQUENCE

The DS21Q42 does not automatically clear its register space on power–up. After the supplies are stable,
each of the four framer’s register space should be configured for operation by writing to all of the internal
registers. This includes setting the Test and all unused registers to 00Hex.
This can be accomplished using a two-pass approach on each framer within the DS21Q42.
1. Clear framer’s register space by writing 00H to the addresses 00H through 09FH.
2. Program required registers to achieve desired operating mode.
NOTE:

When emulating the DS21Q41 feature set (FMS = 1), the full address space (00H through 09FH) must be
initialized. DS21Q41 emulation requires address pin A7 to be used. FMS is tied to ground for the
DS21FF42/DS21FT42.
Finally, after the TSYSCLK and RSYSCLK inputs are stable, the ESR bit should be toggled from a zero
to a one (this step can be skipped if the elastic stores are disabled).

PAYLOAD LOOPBACK

When CCR1.1 is set to a one, the DS21Q42 will be forced into Payload LoopBack (PLB). Normally, this
loopback is only enabled when ESF framing is being performed but can be enabled also in D4 framing
applications. In a PLB situation, the DS21Q42 will loop the 192 bits of payload data (with BPVs
corrected) from the receive section back to the transmit section. The FPS framing pattern, CRC6
calculation, and the FDL bits are not looped back, they are reinserted by the DS21Q42. When PLB is
enabled, the following will occur:
1. Data will be transmitted from the TPOS and TNEG pins synchronous with RCLK instead of TCLK
2. All of the receive side signals will continue to operate normally
3. The TCHCLK and TCHBLK signals are forced low
4. Data at the TSER, and TSIG pins is ignored
5. The TLCLK signal will become synchronous with RCLK instead of TCLK
DS21FT42/DS21FF42
FRAMER LOOPBACK

When CCR1.0 is set to a one, the DS21Q42 will enter a Framer LoopBack (FLB) mode. This loopback
is useful in testing and debugging applications. In FLB, the DS21Q42 will loop data from the transmit
side back to the receive side. When FLB is enabled, the following will occur:
1. An unframed all one’s code will be transmitted at TPOS and TNEG
2. Data at RPOS and RNEG will be ignored
3. All receive side signals will take on timing synchronous with TCLK instead of RCLK
Please note that it is not acceptable to have RCLK tied to TCLK during this loopback because this will
cause an unstable condition.

The Framer always examines both the transmit and receive data streams for violations of the following
rules which are required by ANSI T1.403:No more than 15 consecutive zerosAt least N ones in each and every time window of 8 x (N +1) bits where N = 1 through 23
Violations for the transmit and receive data streams are reported in the RIR2.0 and RIR2.1 bits
respectively. When the CCR3.3 is set to one, the DS21Q42 will force the transmitted stream to meet this
requirement no matter the content of the transmitted stream. When running B8ZS, the CCR3.3 bit should
be set to zero since B8ZS encoded data streams cannot violate the pulse density requirements.

REMOTE LOOPBACK

When CCR7.6 is set to a one, the DS21Q42 will be forced into Remote LoopBack (RLB). In this
loopback, data input via the RPOS and RNEG pins will be transmitted back to the TPOS and TNEG pins.
Data will continue to pass through the receive side framer of the DS21Q42 as it would normally and the
data from the transmit side formatter will be ignored. Please see Figure 6-1 for more details.
10. STATUS AND INFORMATION REGISTERS

There is a set of nine registers per channel that contain information on the current real time status of a
framer in the DS21Q42, Status Register 1 (SR1), Status Register 2 (SR2), Receive Information Registers
1 to 3 (RIR1/RIR2/RIR3) and a set of four registers for the onboard HDLC and BOC controller. The
specific details on the four registers pertaining to the HDLC and BOC controller are covered in Section
19 but they operate the same as the other status registers in the DS21Q42 and this operation is described
below.
When a particular event has occurred (or is occurring), the appropriate bit in one of these nine registers
will be set to a one. All of the bits in SR1, SR2, RIR1, RIR2, and RIR3 registers operate in a latched
fashion. This means that if an event or an alarm occurs and a bit is set to a one in any of the registers, it
will remain set until the user reads that bit. The bit will be cleared when it is read and it will not be set
again until the event has occurred again (or in the case of the RBL, RYEL, LRCL, and RLOS alarms, the
bit will remain set if the alarm is still present). There are bits in the four HDLC and BOC status registers
DS21FT42/DS21FF42
The user will always precede a read of any of the nine registers with a write. The byte written to the
register will inform the DS21Q42 which bits the user wishes to read and have cleared. The user will
write a byte to one of these registers, with a one in the bit positions he or she wishes to read and a zero in
the bit positions he or she does not wish to obtain the latest information on. When a one is written to a
bit location, the read register will be updated with the latest information. When a zero is written to a bit
position, the read register will not be updated and the previous value will be held. A write to the status
and information registers will be immediately followed by a read of the same register. The read result
should be logically AND’ed with the mask byte that was just written and this value should be written
back into the same register to insure that bit does indeed clear. This second write step is necessary
because the alarms and events in the status registers occur asynchronously in respect to their access via
the parallel port. This write–read– write scheme allows an external microcontroller or microprocessor to
individually poll certain bits without disturbing the other bits in the register. This operation is key in
controlling the DS21Q42 with higher–order software languages.
The SR1, SR2, and FDLS registers have the unique ability to initiate a hardware interrupt via the INT*
output pin. Each of the alarms and events in the SR1, SR2, and HSR can be either masked or unmasked
from the interrupt pin via the Interrupt Mask Register 1 (IMR1), Interrupt Mask Register 2 (IMR2), and
HDLC Interrupt Mask Register (HIMR) respectively. The FIMR register is covered in Section 19. The
INTERRUPT STATUS REGISTER can be used to determine which framer is requesting interrupt
servicing and the type of the request: status or the HDLC controller.
The interrupts caused by alarms in SR1 (namely RYEL, RCL, RBL, RLOS and LOTC) act differently
than the interrupts caused by events in SR1 and SR2 (namely LUP, LDN, RSLIP, RMF, TMF, SEC,
RFDL, TFDL, RMTCH, RAF, and RSC) and HIMR. The alarm caused interrupts will force the INT* pin
low whenever the alarm changes state (i.e., the alarm goes active or inactive according to the set/clear
criteria in Table 11-1). The INT* pin will be allowed to return high (if no other interrupts are present)
when the user reads the alarm bit that caused the interrupt to occur even if the alarm is still present.
The event caused interrupts will force the INT* pin low when the event occurs. The INT* pin will be
allowed to return high (if no other interrupts are present) when the user reads the event bit that caused the
interrupt to occur.

NOTES:

1. The definition of Blue Alarm (or Alarm Indication Signal) is an unframed all ones signal. Blue alarm
detectors should be able to operate properly in the presence of a 10–3 error rate and they should not
falsely trigger on a framed all ones signal. The blue alarm criteria in the DS21Q42 has been set to
achieve this performance. It is recommended that the RBL bit be qualified with the RLOS bit.
2. ANSI specifications use a different nomenclature than the DS21Q42 does; the following terms are
equivalent:
RBL = AIS
RCL = LOS
RLOS = LOF
RYEL = RAI

11. ERROR COUNT REGISTERS

There are a set of three counters in each framer that record bipolar violations, excessive zeros, errors in
the CRC6 code words, framing bit errors, and number of multiframes that the device is out of receive
synchronization. Each of these three counters are automatically updated on either one second boundaries
(CCR3.2=0) or every 42 ms (CCR3.2=1) as determined by the timer in Status Register 2 (SR2.5). Hence,
these registers contain performance data from either the previous second or the previous 42 ms. The user
DS21FT42/DS21FF42
respective maximum counts and they will not rollover (note: only the Line Code Violation Count
Register has the potential to overflow but the bit error would have to exceed 10-2 before this would
occur).
LINE CODE VIOLATION COUNT REGISTER (LCVCR)

Line Code Violation Count Register 1 (LCVCR1) is the most significant word and LCVCR2 is the least
significant word of a 16–bit counter that records code violations (CVs). CVs are defined as Bipolar
Violations (BPVs) or excessive zeros. See Table 12-1 for details of exactly what the LCVCRs count. If
the B8ZS mode is set for the receive side via CCR2.2, then B8ZS code words are not counted. This
counter is always enabled; it is not disabled during receive loss of synchronization (RLOS=1) conditions.

PATH CODE VIOLATION COUNT REGISTER

(PCVCR) When the receive side of a framer is set to operate in the ESF framing mode (CCR2.3=1),
PCVCR will automatically be set as a 12–bit counter that will record errors in the CRC6 code words.
When set to operate in the D4 framing mode (CCR2.3=0), PCVCR will automatically count errors in the
Ft framing bit position. Via the RCR2.1 bit, a framer can be programmed to also report errors in the Fs
framing bit position. The PCVCR will be disabled during receive loss of synchronization (RLOS=1)
conditions. See Table 12-2 for a detailed description of exactly what errors the PCVCR counts.

MOSCR is operated in this mode, it is not disabled during receive loss of synchronization (RLOS=1)
conditions. The MOSCR has alternate operating mode whereby it will count either errors in the Ft
framing pattern (in the D4 mode) or errors in the FPS framing pattern (in the ESF mode). When the
MOSCR is operated in this mode, it is disabled during receive loss of synchronization (RLOS =
1)conditions. See Table 12-3 for a detailed description of what the MOSCR is capable of counting.

12. DS0 MONITORING FUNCTION

Each framer in the DS21Q42 has the ability to monitor one DS0 64 Kbps channel in the transmit
direction and one DS0 channel in the receive direction at the same time. In the transmit direction the user
will determine which channel is to be monitored by properly setting the TCM0 to TCM4 bits in the
CCR5 register. In the receive direction, the RCM0 to RCM4 bits in the CCR6 register need to be
properly set. The DS0 channel pointed to by the TCM0 to TCM4 bits will appear in the Transmit DS0
Monitor (TDS0M) register and the DS0 channel pointed to by the RCM0 to RCM4 bits will appear in the
Receive DS0 (RDS0M) register.
DS21FT42/DS21FF42
The TCM4 to TCM0 and RCM4 to RCM0 bits should be programmed with the decimal decode of the
appropriate T1 channel. Channels 1 through 24 map to register values 0 through 23. For example, if
DS0 channel 6 (timeslot 5) in the transmit direction and DS0 channel 15 (timeslot 14) in the receive
direction needed to be monitored, then the following values would be programmed into CCR5 and
CCR6:
TCM4 = 0 RCM4 = 0
TCM3 = 0 RCM3 = 1
TCM2 = 1 RCM2 = 1
TCM1 = 0 RCM1 = 1
TCM0 = 1 RCM0 = 0

13. SIGNALING OPERATION

Each framer in the DS21Q42 contains provisions for both processor based (i.e., software based) signaling
bit access and for hardware based access. Both the processor based access and the hardware based access
can be used simultaneously if necessary. The processor based signaling is covered in Section 14.1 and
the hardware based signaling is covered in Section 14.2.
14.1PROCESSOR BASED SIGNALING

The robbed–bit signaling bits embedded in the T1 stream can be extracted from the receive stream and
inserted into the transmit stream by each framer. There is a set of 12 registers for the receive side (RS1 to
RS12) and 12 registers on the transmit side (TS1 to TS12). The signaling registers are detailed below.
The CCR1.5 bit is used to control the robbed signaling bits as they appear at RSER. If CCR1.5 is set to
zero, then the robbed signaling bits will appear at the RSER pin in their proper position as they are
received. If CCR1.5 is set to a one, then the robbed signaling bit positions will be forced to a one at
RSER. If hardware based signaling is being used, then CCR1.5 must be set to zero.

SYMBOLPOSITIONNAME AND DESCRIPTION

D(24)RS12.7Signaling Bit D in Channel 24
A(1)RS1.0Signaling Bit A in Channel 1
Each Receive Signaling Register (RS1 to RS12) reports the incoming robbed bit signaling from eight
DS0 channels. In the ESF framing mode, there can be up to four signaling bits per channel (A, B, C, and
D). In the D4 framing mode, there are only two signaling bits per channel (A and B). In the D4 framing
mode, the framer will replace the C and D signaling bit positions with the A and B signaling bits from the
previous multiframe. Hence, whether the framer is operated in either framing mode, the user needs only
to retrieve the signaling bits every 3 ms. The bits in the Receive Signaling Registers are updated on
multiframe boundaries so the user can utilize the Receive Multiframe Interrupt in the Receive Status
Register 2 (SR2.7) to know when to retrieve the signaling bits. The Receive Signaling Registers are
frozen and not updated during a loss of sync condition (SR1.0=1). They will contain the most recent
signaling information before the “OOF” occurred. The signaling data reported in RS1 to RS12 is also
available at the RSIG and RSER pins.
A change in the signaling bits from one multiframe to the next will cause the RSC status bit (SR2.0) to be
set. The user can enable the INT* pin to toggle low upon detection of a change in signaling by setting the
IMR2.0 bit. Once a signaling change has been detected, the user has at least 2.75 ms to read the data out
of the RS1 to RS12 registers before the data will be lost.

SYMBOLPOSITIONNAME AND DESCRIPTION

D(24)TS12.7Signaling Bit D in Channel 24
A(1)TS1.0Signaling Bit A in Channel 1
Each Transmit Signaling Register (TS1 to TS12) contains the Robbed Bit signaling for eight DS0
channels that will be inserted into the outgoing stream if enabled to do so via TCR1.4. In the ESF
framing mode, there can be up to four signaling bits per channel (A, B, C, and D). On multiframe
DS21FT42/DS21FF42
mode, the interrupt will come every 3 ms and the user has a full 3ms to update the TSRs. In the D4
framing mode, there are only two signaling bits per channel (A and B). However in the D4 framing
mode, the framer uses the C and D bit positions as the A and B bit positions for the next multiframe. The
framer will load the values in the TSRs into the outgoing shift register every other D4 multiframe.
14.2HARDWARE BASED SIGNALING
RECEIVE SIDE

In the receive side of the hardware based signaling, there are two operating modes for the signaling
buffer; signaling extraction and signaling re–insertion. Signaling extraction involves pulling the
signaling bits from the receive data stream and buffering them over a four multiframe buffer and
outputting them in a serial PCM fashion on a channel–by–channel basis at the RSIG output. This mode
is always enabled. In this mode, the receive elastic store may be enabled or disabled. If the receive
elastic store is enabled, then the backplane clock (RSYSCLK) can be either 1.544 MHz or 2.048 MHz.
In the ESF framing mode, the ABCD signaling bits are output on RSIG in the lower nibble of each
channel. The RSIG data is updated once a multiframe (3 ms) unless a freeze is in effect. In the D4
framing mode, the AB signaling bits are output twice on RSIG in the lower nibble of each channel.
Hence, bits 5 and 6 contain the same data as bits 7 and 8 respectively in each channel. The RSIG data is
updated once a multiframe (1.5 ms) unless a freeze is in effect. See the timing diagrams in Section 24 for
some examples.
The other hardware based signaling operating mode called signaling re–insertion can be invoked by
setting the RSRE control bit high (CCR4.7=1). In this mode, the user will provide a multiframe sync at
the RSYNC pin and the signaling data will be re–aligned at the RSER output according to this applied
multiframe boundary. In this mode, the elastic store must be enabled however the backplane clock can be
either 1.544 MHz or 2.048 MHz.
If the signaling re–insertion mode is enabled, the user can control which channels have signaling re–
insertion performed on a channel–by–channel basis by setting the RPCSI control bit high (CCR4.6) and
then programming the RCHBLK output pin to go high in the channels in which the signaling re–insertion
should not occur. If the RPCSI bit is set low, then signaling re–insertion will occur in all channels when
the signaling re–insertion mode is enabled (RSRE=1). How to control the operation of the RCHBLK
output pin is covered in Section 16.
In both hardware based signaling operating modes, the user has the option to replace all of the extracted
robbed–bit signaling bit positions with ones. This option is enabled via the RFSA1 control bit (CCR4.5)
and it can be invoked on a per–channel basis by setting the RPCSI control bit (CCR4.6) high and then
programming RCHBLK appropriately just like the per–channel signaling re–insertion operates.
The signaling data in the four multiframe buffer will be frozen in a known good state upon either a loss of
synchronization (OOF event), carrier loss, or frame slip. This action meets the requirements of BellCore
TR– TSY–000170 for signaling freezing. To allow this freeze action to occur, the RFE control bit
(CCR4.4) should be set high. The user can force a freeze by setting the RFF control bit (CCR4.3) high.
The four multiframe buffer provides a three multiframe delay in the signaling bits provided at the RSIG
pin (and at the RSER pin if RSRE=1). When freezing is enabled (RFE=1), the signaling data will be held
in the last known good state until the corrupting error condition subsides. When the error condition
subsides, the signaling data will be held in the old state for at least an additional 9 ms (or 4.5 ms in D4
DS21FT42/DS21FF42
TRANSMIT SIDE

Via the THSE control bit (CCR4.2), the framer can be set up to take the signaling data presented at the
TSIG pin and insert the signaling data into the PCM data stream that is being input at the TSER pin. The
user has the ability to control which channels are to have signaling data from the TSIG pin inserted into
them on a channel–by–channel basis by setting the TPCSI control bit (CCR4.1) high. When TPCSI is
enabled, channels in which the TCHBLK output has been programmed to be set high in, will not have
signaling data from the TSIG pin inserted into them. The hardware signaling insertion capabilities of the
framer are available whether the transmit side elastic store is enabled or disabled. If the elastic store is
enabled, the backplane clock (TSYSCLK) can be either 1.544 MHz or 2.048 MHz.
14. PER–CHANNEL CODE (IDLE) GENERATION AND LOOPBACK

Each framer in the DS21Q42 can replace data on a channel–by–channel basis in both the transmit and
receive directions. The transmit direction is from the backplane to the T1 line and is covered in Section
15.1. The receive direction is from the T1 line to the backplane and is covered in Section 15.2.
15.1TRANSMIT SIDE CODE GENERATION

In the transmit direction there are two methods by which channel data from the backplane can be
overwritten with data generated by the framer. The first method which is covered in Section 15.1.1 was a
feature contained in the original DS21Q41 while the second method which is covered in Section 15.1.2 is
a new feature of the DS21Q42.
15.1.1Simple Idle Code Insertion and Per–Channel Loopback

The first method involves using the Transmit Idle Registers (TIR1/2/3) to determine which of the 24 T1
channels should be overwritten with the code placed in the Transmit Idle Definition Register (TIDR).
This method allows the same 8–bit code to be placed into any of the 24 T1 channels. If this method is
used, then the CCR4.0 control bit must be set to zero.
Each of the bit position in the Transmit Idle Registers (TIR1/TIR2/TIR3) represent a DS0 channel in the
outgoing frame. When these bits are set to a one, the corresponding channel will transmit the Idle Code
contained in the Transmit Idle Definition Register (TIDR). Robbed bit signaling and Bit 7 stuffing will
occur over the programmed Idle Code unless the DS0 channel is made transparent by the Transmit
Transparency Registers.
The Transmit Idle Registers (TIRs) have an alternate function that allow them to define a Per–Channel
LoopBack (PCLB). If the TIRFS control bit (CCR4.0) is set to one, then the TIRs will determine which
channels (if any) from the backplane should be replaced with the data from the receive side or in other
words, off of the T1 line. If this mode is enabled, then transmit and receive clocks and frame syncs must
be synchronized. One method to accomplish this would be to tie RCLK to TCLK and RFSYNC to
TSYNC.
