Frame and Line Interface Component (FALC
General Information
The Frame and Line Interface Component PEB 2254
(FALC54) is a high sophisticated single chip solution for
primary rate PCM carriers. It may be programmed to operate
in 1.544-Mbit/s (T1) or 2.048-Mbit/s (CEPT) carrier systems.
The FALC54 provides the complete functionality of a line
interface-, a framing-, clock generation (2 VCOs) and
signaling unit on one chip with greatly increased
functionalities.
The FALC54 recovers clock and data using an integrated
digital phase-locked loop. It shapes the output pulse
following the AT&T Technical Advisory #34 or CCITT G.703
and generates a variety of systems clocks. The jitter
tolerance of the device meets the newest CCITT
recommendations and many other specifications by AT&T/
BELLCORE.
The FALC54 features include: selectable multiframe (six
multiframe formats), error checking (CRC4, CRC6), multiple
line codes (HDB3, B8ZS, AMI, CMI, NRZ), alarm reporting,
maintenance and performance monitoring. The circuit
contains a two-frame elastic memory which ensures wander
absorption between the PCM carrier and a synchronous,
system internal highway.
All signaling types – CCS, CAS and bit robbed signaling in
conjunction with Clear Channel Capability – are controlled by
the integrated LAPD/CAS signaling controller. In addition, the
FALC54 allows flexible access to facility data link and service
channels. All signaling and data link access can be handled
via 64-byte FlFOs.
The device includes functions which meet newest CCITT,
ETSI and FTZ recommendations for primary rate interfaces
and the AT&T Digital Multiplexed Interface specifications
(DMI). Controlling and monitoring of the device is performed
via a parallel 16-bit data bus interface which is directly
compatible with the most popular 8/16-bit microprocessors
(Intel or Motorola type).
