ASLIC/ASLAC Products
11
IDC
Output
DC Loop Control Current. The IDC output supplies a current to the ASLIC device for pro-
portional control of the DC loop current flowing through the subscriber loop.
IDIF
Input
Longitudinal Sense. IDIF is a current input pin fed by the IDIF pin of the ASLIC device.
The current in this pin is used by the ASLAC device for supervisory and diagnostic func-
tions. The IDIF pin has an internal input resistance so an external longitudinal noise filter
capacitor can be connected.
INT
Output, Active
Low
Interrupt. A logic 0 on this pin indicates one or more of the bits in the signaling register
has changed states. An interrupt will be generated when activity is sensed on any signal
in the Signaling Register not masked by the Mask Register. Once an unmasked activity
is sensed, the INT output will be driven Low and held at that state until cleared. See the
description of configuration register 6 for operation.
I/O1, I/O2, I/O3,
I/O4
Input/output
Control Ports. These control lines are TTL compatible and each can be programmed as
an input or an output. When programmed as inputs, they can monitor external, TTL com-
patible logic circuits. When programmed as outputs, they can control an external logic de-
vice or they can be connected to pin C3, C4, or C5 of the ASLIC device to control test
relay drivers RY1OUT, RY2OUT and RY3OUT (I/O3, I/O4, 44-pin PLCC version only). In
the Output mode, these pins are controlled by the I/O1, I/O2, I/O3, and I/O4 bits in the
Channel Control Register, MPI Command 17.
IREF
Reference
Current Reference. An external resistor (RREF) connected between this pin and analog
ground generates an accurate on-chip reference current. This current is used by the
ASLAC device in its DC Feed and loop-supervision circuits.
IRTA, IRTB
Inputs
Ring Trip Sense. These pins are current summing nodes referenced to VREF. They pro-
vide terminations for external resistors RSR1 and RSR2, which sense the voltages on
both sides of the ringing feed resistor connected to the ring bus. To determine the ring-
ing current in the loop, the ASLAC device senses the difference between the currents
in these pins.
ISUM
Input
Metallic Sense. ISUM is a current input pin and is fed by the ISUM pin of the ASLIC de-
vice. The absolute value of the current in this pin is used by the ASLAC device for super-
visory and diagnostic functions.
MCLK
Input
Master Clock. The master clock is used to operate the digital signal processor. MCLK
can be 2.048 MHz, 4.096 MHz or 8.192 MHz. MCLK may be asynchronous to PCLK.
Upon initialization, the MCLK input is disabled and relevant circuitry is driven by a
connection to PCLK. The MCLK connection may be reestablished under user control.
PCLK
Input
PCM Clock. The PCM clock determines the rate at which PCM data is serially shifted into
or out of the PCM ports. PCLK is an integer multiple of the frame sync frequency. The
maximum clock frequency is 8.192 MHz and the minimum clock frequency is 128 kHz for
companded data. The minimum clock frequency for linear or companded data plus sig-
naling data is 256 kHz. The PCLK clock may be asynchronous to MCLK if the initial con-
nection state is disabled under user control.
RST
Input, Active
Low
Reset. A logic 0 on this pin resets the ASLAC device to initial default conditions. It is
equivalent to a hardware reset command. A signal less than 100 ns should not cause
a reset. To ensure proper reset, the minimum length of a reset pulse is 50 µs.
TSCA, TSCB
Open Drain
Outputs
Time Slot Control. The time slot control outputs are open drain (requiring an external
pull-up resistor to VCCD) and are normally inactive (high impedance). TSCA is active
(Low) when PCM data is present on DXA, and TSCB is active (Low) when PCM data is
present on DXB. (TSCB and DRB – 44-pin PLCC only.)
VCCA
Power
Analog Power Supply. VCCA is internally connected to substrate near the analog I/O
section.
VCCD
Power
Digital Power Supply. VCCD is internally connected to substrate near the digital section.
VIN
Input
Analog Input. The analog output (VTX) from the ASLIC device is applied to the ASLAC
device transmit path input, VIN. The signal is sampled, processed, encoded, and trans-
mitted on the PCM Highway.
