Functional Description

The MT9042C is a Multitrunk System Synchronizer, providing timing (clock) and synchronization (frame) signals to

interface circuit s for T1 and E1 Primary Rate Digital Transmission links.

Figure 1 is a functional block diagram which is described in the following sections.

Reference Select MUX Circuit

The MT9042C accepts two simultaneous reference input signals and operates on their falling edges. Either the

primary reference (PRI) signal or the secondary reference (SEC) signal can be selected as input to the TIE

Corrector Circuit. The selection is based on the Control, Mode and Reference Selection of the device. See Tables

1, 4 and 5.

Frequency Select MUX Circuit

The MT9042C operates with one of three possible input reference frequencies (8 kHz, 1.544 MHz or 2.048 MHz).

The frequency select inputs (FS1 and FS2) determine which of the three frequencies may be us ed at the reference

inputs (PRI and SEC). Both inputs must have the same frequency applied to them. A reset (RST) must be

performed afte r every frequency select input cha nge. Op eration with FS1 an d FS 2 bo th at logic low is reserve d a nd

must not be used. See Table 1.

Time Interval Error (TIE) Corrector Circuit

The TIE corrector circuit, when enabled, prevents a step change in phase on the input reference signals (PRI or

SEC) from causing a step change in phase at the input of the DPLL block of Figure 1.

During reference input rearrangement, such as during a switch from the primary reference (PRI) to the secondary

reference (SEC), a step change in phase on the input signals will occur. A phase step at the input of the DPLL will

lead to unacceptable phase changes in the output signal.

As shown in Figure 3, the TIE Corrector Circuit receives one of the two reference (PRI or SEC) signals, passes the

signal through a programmable delay line, and uses this delayed signal as an internal virtual reference, which is

input to the DPLL. Therefore, the virtual reference is a delayed version of the selected refe rence.

During a switch, from one refere nce to the other, the State Machine first changes the mode of the device from

Normal to Holdover. In Holdover Mode, th e DPLL no longer uses the virtual reference signal, but generates an

accurate clock signal using storage techniques. The Compare Circuit then meas ures the phase delay between

the current phase (feedback signal) and the phase of the new reference signal. This delay value is passed to

the Programmable Delay Circuit (See Figure 3). The new virtual reference signal is now at the same phase

position as the previous reference signal would have been if the reference switch not taken place. The State

Machine then returns the device to Normal Mode.

Table 1 - Input Frequency Selection

Figure 3 - TIE Cor rector Circ uit

The DPLL now uses the new virtual reference signal, and since no phase step took place at the input of the DPLL,

no phase step occurs at the output of the DPLL. In other words, reference switching will not create a phase chan ge

at the input of the DPLL, or at the output of the DPLL.

Since internal delay circuitry maintains the alignment between the old virtual reference and the new virtual

reference, a phase error may exist between the selected input reference signal and the output signal of the DPLL.

This phase error is a function of the difference in phase between the two input reference signals during reference

rearrangements. Each time a reference switch is made, the delay between input signal and output signal will

change. The value of this delay is the accu mulation of the error measured during each reference switch.

The programmable delay circuit can be zeroed by applying a logic low pulse to the TIE Circuit Reset (TRST) pin. A

minimum reset pulse width is 300 ns. This results in a phase alignment between the input reference signal and the

output signal as shown in Figure 20. The speed of the phase alignment correction is limited to 5 ns per 125 us, and

convergence is in the direction of least phase travel.

The state diagrams of Figure 7 and 8 indicate under which state changes the TIE Corrector Circuit is activated.

Digital Phase Lock Loo p (DPLL)

As shown in Figure 4, the DPLL of the MT9042C consists of a Phase Detector, Limiter, Loop Filter, Digitally

Controlled Oscillator, and a Control Circuit.

Phase D etector - the Phase Detector compares the virtual reference signal from the TIE Corrector circuit with the

feedback signal from the Frequency Select MUX circuit, and provides an error signal corresponding to the phase

differen ce between the two. This error signal is pass ed to the Limiter circuit. The Frequency Select MUX allows the

proper feedback signal to be externally selected (e.g., 8 kHz, 1.544 MHz or 2.048 MHz).

Limiter - the Limiter receives the error signal from the Phase Detector and ensures that the DPLL responds to all

input transient conditions with a maximum output phase slope of 5 ns per 125 us. This is well within the maximum

phase slope of 7.6 ns per 125 us or 81 ns per 1.326 ms specified by AT&T TR62411.

Loop Filter - the Loop Filter is similar to a first order low pass filter with a 1.9 Hz cutoff frequency for all three

reference frequency selections (8 kHz, 1.544 MHz or 2.048 MHz). This filter ensures that the jitter transfer

requirements in ETS 300 011 and AT&T TR62411 are met.

Control Circuit - the Control Circuit uses status and control information from the State Machine and the Input

Impairment Circuit to set the mode of the DPLL. The three possible modes are Normal, Holdover and Freerun.

Digitally Controlled Oscillator (DCO) - the DCO receives the limited and filtered signal from the Loop FIlter, and

based on its value, generates a corresponding digital output signal. The synchronization method of the DCO is

dependent on the state of the MT9042C.

In Normal Mode, the DCO provides an output signal which is frequency and phase locked to the selected input

reference signal.

In Holdover Mode, the DCO is free running at a frequency equal to the last (less 30 ms to 60 ms) frequency the

DCO was generating while in Normal Mode.

In Freerun Mode, the DCO is free running with an accuracy equal to the accuracy of the OSCi 20 MHz source.

Output Interface Circuit

The output of the DCO (DPLL) is used by the Output Interface Circuit to provide the output signals shown in Figure

5. The Output Interface Circuit uses two Tapped Delay Lines followed by a T1 Divider Circuit and an E1 Divider

Circuit to generate the required output signals.

Two tapped delay lines are used to generate a 16.384 MHz signal and a 12.352 MHz signal.

The E1 Divider Circuit uses the 16.384 MHz signal to generate four clock outputs and three frame pulse outputs.

The C8o, C4o and C2o clocks are generated by simply dividing the C16o clock by two, four and eight respectively.

These outputs have a nominal 50% duty cycle.

The T1 Divider Circuit uses the 12.384 MHz signal to generate two clock outputs. C1 .5o and C3o are generated by

dividing the internal C12 clock by four and eight respectively. These outputs have a nominal 50% duty cycle.

The frame pulse outputs (F0o, F8o, F16o) are generated directly from the C16 clock.

The T1 and E1 signals are generated from a common DPLL signal. Consequently, the clock outputs C1.5o, C3o,

C2o, C4o, C8o, C16o, F0o and F16o are locked to one another for all operating states, and are also locked to the

selected input reference in Normal Mode. See Figures 20 & 21.

All frame pulse and clock outputs have limited driving capability, and should be buffered when driving high

capacitance (e.g., 30 pF) loads.

Input Impairment Monitor

This circuit monitors the input signal to the DPLL and automatically enables the Holdover Mode (Auto-Holdover)

when the frequency of the incoming signal is outside the auto-holdover capture range (See AC Electrical

Characteristics - Performance). This includes a complete loss of incoming signal, or a large frequency shift in the

incoming signal. When the incoming signal returns to normal, the DPLL is returned to Normal Mode with the output

signal locked to the input signal. The holdover output signal is based on the incoming signal 30 ms minimum to

60 ms prior to entering the Holdover Mode. The amount of phase drift while in holdover is negligible because the

Holdover Mode is very accurate (e.g., ±0.05 ppm). The the Auto-Holdover circuit does not use TIE correction.

Consequently, the phase delay between the input and output after switching back to Normal Mode is preserved (is

the same as just prior to the switch to Auto-Holdover).

Automatic/Manual Control State Machine

The Automatic/Manual Control State Machine allows the MT9042C to be controlled automatically (i.e., LOS1, LOS2

and GT i signals) or contro lled manua lly (i.e., MS1, MS2, GTi and RSEL signals). With manual control a single mode

of operation (i.e., Normal, Holdover and Freerun) is selected. Under automatic control the state of the LOS1, LOS2

and GTi signals determines the sequence of modes that the MT9042C will follow.

As shown in Figure 1, this state machine controls the Reference Select MUX, the TIE Corrector Circuit, the

DPLL and the Guard Time Circuit. Control is based on the logic levels at the control inputs LOS1, LOS2, RS EL,

MS1, MS2 and GTi of the Guard Time Circuit (See Figure 6 ).

All state machine changes occur synchronously on the rising edge of F8o. See the Controls and Modes of

Guard Time Circuit

The GTi pin is used by the Automatic/Manual Control State Machine in the MT9042C under either Manual or

Automatic control. The logic level at the GTi pin performs two functions, it enables and disables the TIE

Corrector Circuit (Manual and Auto matic), and it selects which mode chang e takes place (Automatic only). See

the Applications - Guard Time section.

For both Manual and Automatic control, when switching from Primary Holdover to Primary Normal, the TIE

Corrector Circuit is enabled when GTi=1, and disabled when GTi=0.

Under Automatic control and in Primary Normal Mode, two state changes are possible (not counting Auto-

Holdover). These are state changes to Primary Holdover or to Secondary Normal. The logic level at the GTi pin

determines which state change occurs. When GTi=0, the state change is to Primary Holdover. When GTi=1, the

state change is to Secondary Normal.

Master Clock

The MT9042C can use either a clock or crystal as the master timing source. For recommended master timing

circuits, see the Applications - Master Clock section.

Control and Modes of Operation

The MT9042C can operate either in Manual or Automatic Control. Each control method has three possible modes

of operation, Normal, Holdover and Freerun.

As shown in Table 3, Mode/Control Select pins MS2 and MS1 select the mode and method of control.

Manual Control

Manual Control should be used when either very simple MT9042C control is required, or when complex control is

required which is not accommodated by Automatic Control. For example, very simple control could include

operation in a system which only requires Normal Mode with reference switching using only a single input stimulus

(RSEL). Very simple control would require no external circuitry. Complex control could include a system which

requires state changes between Normal, Holdover and Freerun Modes based on numerous input stimuli. Complex

control would require external circuitry, typically a microcontroller.

MT9042C Data Sheet

Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.

Under Manual Control, one of the three modes is selected by mode/control select pins MS2 and MS1. The active

reference input (PRI or SEC) is selected by the RSEL pin as shown in Table 2. Refer to Table 4 and Figure 7 for

details of the state change sequences.

Automatic Control

Automatic Control should be used when simple MT9042C control is required, which is more complex than the very

simple control provide by Manual Control with no external circuitry, but not as complex as Manual Control with a

microcontroller. For example, simple control could include operation in a system which can be accommodated by

the Automatic Control State Diagram shown in Figure 8.

Automatic Control is also selected by mode/control pins MS2 and MS1. However, the mode and active reference

source is selected automatically by the internal Automatic State Machine (See Figure 6). The mode and reference

changes are based on the logic levels on the LOS1, LOS2 and GTi control pins. Refer to Table 5 and Figure 8 for

details of the state change sequences.

Normal Mode

Normal Mode is typically used when a slave clock source, synchronized to the network is required.

In Normal Mode, the MT9042C provides timing (C1.5o, C2o, C3o, C4o, C8o and C16o) and frame synchronization

(F0o, F8o, F16o) signals, which are synchronize d to one of two reference inputs (PRI or SEC). The input reference

signal may have a nominal frequency of 8 kHz, 1.544 MHz or 2.048 MHz.

From a reset condition, the MT9042C will take up to 25 seconds for the output signal to be phase locked to the

selected reference.

The selection of input references is control dependent as shown in state tables 4 and 5. The reference frequencies

are selected by the frequency control pins FS2 and FS1 as shown in Table 1.

Holdover Mode

Holdover Mode is typically used for short durations (e.g., 2 seconds) while network synchronization is temporarily

disrupted.

In Holdover Mode, the MT9042C provides timing and synchronization signals, which are not locked to an external

reference signal, but are based on storage techniques. The storage value is determined while the device is in

Normal Mode and locked to an external reference signal.

When in Normal Mode, and locked to the input reference signal, a numerical value corresponding to the MT9042C

output frequency is stored alternately in two memory locations every 30 ms. When the device is switched into

Holdover Mode, the value in memory from between 30 ms and 60 ms is used to set the output frequency of the

device.

The frequency acc uracy of Holdover Mode is ±0.05 ppm, which translates to a worst case 35 frame (125 us) slips in

24 hours. This exceeds the AT&T TR62411 Stratum 3 requirement of ±0.37 ppm (255 frame slips per 24 hours).

Two factors affect the accuracy of Holdover Mode. One is drift on the Master Clock while in Holdover Mode, drif t on

the Master Clock directly affects the Holdover Mode accuracy. Note that the absolute Master Clock (OSCi)

accuracy does not affect Holdover accuracy, only the change in OSCi accuracy while in Holdover. For example, a

±32 ppm master clock may have a temperature coefficient of ±0.1 ppm per degree C. So a 10 degree change in

temperature, while the MT9042C is in Holdover Mode may result in an additional offset (over the ±0.05 ppm) in

frequency accuracy of ±1 ppm. Which is much greater than the ±0.05 ppm of the MT9042C.

The other factor affecting accuracy is large jitter on the reference input prior (30 ms to 60 ms) to the mode switch.

For instan ce, jitter of 7.5 UI at 700 Hz may reduce the Holdover Mode accuracy from 0.05 ppm to 0.10 ppm.

MT9042C Data Sheet

Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.

Freerun Mode

Freerun Mode is typically used when a master clock source is required, or immediately following system power-up

before network synchronization is achieved.

In Freerun Mode, the MT9042C provides timing and synchronization signals which are based on the master clock

frequency (OSCi) only, and are not synchronized to the reference signals (PRI and SEC).

The accuracy of the output clock is equal to the accuracy of the master clock (OSCi). So if a ±32 ppm output clock

is required, the master clock must also be ±32 ppm. See Applications - Crystal and Clock Oscillator sections.

MT9042C Measures of Performance

The following are some synchronizer performance indicators and their corresponding definitions.

Intrinsic Jitter

Intrinsic jitter is the jitter produced by the synchronizing circuit and is measured at its output. It is measured by

applying a reference signal with no jitter to the input of the device, and measuring its output jitter. Intrinsic jitter may

also be measured when the device is in a non-s ynchronizing mode, such as fr ee running or holdover, by measuring

the output jitter of the device. Intrinsic jitter is usually measured with various bandlimiting filters depending on the

applicable st andards.

Jitter Tolerance

Jitter tolerance is a measure of the ability of a PLL to operate properly (i.e., remain in lock and or regain lock in the

presence of large jitter magnitudes at various jitter frequencies) when jitter is applied to its reference. The applied

jitter magnitude and jitter frequency depends on the applicable standards.

Jitter Transfer

Jitter transfer or jitter attenuation refers to the magnitude of jitter at the output of a dev ice for a give n amount of jitter

at the input of the device. Input jitter is applied at various amplitudes and frequencies, and output jitter is measured

with various filters depending on the applicable standards.

For the MT9042C, two internal elements determine the jitter attenuation. This includes the internal 1.9 Hz low pass

loop filter and the phase slope limiter. The phase slope limiter limits the output phase slope to 5 ns/125 us.

Therefore, if the input signal exceeds this rate, such as for very large amplitude low frequency input jitter, the

maximum output phase slope will be limited (i.e., attenuated) to 5 ns/125 us.

The MT9042C has eight outputs with three possible input frequencies for a total of 24 possible jitter transfer

functions. However, the data sheet section on AC Electrical Characteristics - Jitter Transfer specifies transfer

values for only three cases, 8 kHz to 8 kHz, 1.544 MHz to 1.544 MHz and 2.048 MHz to 2.048 MHz. Since all

outputs are derived from the same signal, these transfer values apply to all outputs.

It should be noted that 1 UI at 1.544 MHz is 644 ns, which is not equal to 1 UI at 2.048 MHz, which is 488 ns.

Consequently, a transfer value using different input and output frequencies must be calculated in common units

(e.g., seconds) as shown in the following example.

What is the T1 and E1 output jitter when the T1 input jitter is 20UI (T1 UI Un its) and the T1 to T1 jitter attenuation is

18 dB?

Using the above me thod, the jitter attenua tion can be calculated for all combinations of in puts and output s based on

the three jitter transfer functions provided.

Note that the resulting jitter transfer functions for all combinations of inputs (8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz) and

outputs (8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz, 4.096 MHz, 8.192 MHz, 16.384 MHz) for a given input signal (jitter

frequency and jitter amplitude) are the same.

Since intrinsic jitter is always present, jitter attenuation will appear to be lower for small input jitter signals than for

large ones. Consequently, accurate jitter transfer function measurements are usually made with large input jitter

signals (e.g., 75% of the specified maximum jitter tolerance).

Frequency Accuracy

Frequency accuracy is defined as the absolute tolerance of an output clock signal when it is not locked to an

external reference, but is operating in a free running mode. For the MT9042C, the Freerun accuracy is equal to the

Master Clock (OSCi) accu ra cy.

Holdover Accuracy

Holdover accuracy is defined as the absolute toleranc e of an output clock signal, when it is not locked to an external

reference signal, but is operating using storage techniques. For the MT9042C, the storage value is determined

while the device is in Normal Mode and locked to an external reference signal.

The absolute Master Clock (OSCi) accuracy of the MT9042C does not affect Holdover accuracy, but the change in

OSCi accuracy while in Holdover Mode does.

Capture Range

Also referred to as pull-in ra nge. This is the input frequenc y range over which the synchron izer must be able to

pull into synchronization. The MT9042C capture range is equal to ±230 ppm minus the accuracy of the master

clock (OSCi). For example, a ±32 ppm master clock results in a capture range of ±198 ppm.

Lock Range

This is the input frequency range over which the synchronizer must be able to maintain synchronization. The

lock range is equal to the capture range for the MT9042C.

Phase Slope

Phase slope is measured in seconds per second and is the rate at which a given signal changes phase with respect

to an ideal signal. The given signal is typically the output signal. The ideal signal is of constant frequency and is

nominally equal to the value of the final output signal or final input signal.

Time Interval Error (TIE)

TIE is the time delay between a given timing signal and an ideal timing signal.

Maximum Time Interval Error (MTIE)

MTIE is the maximum peak to peak delay between a given timing signal and an ideal timing signal within a

particular observation period.

Phase Continuity

Phase continuity is the phase difference between a given timing signal and an ideal timing signal at the end of a

particular observ ation perio d. Usually, the given timing signal and the ideal timing signal are of the same frequency.

Phase continuity applies to the output of the synchronizer after a signal disturbance due to a reference switch or a

mode change. The observation period is usually the time from the disturbance, to just after the synchronizer has

settled to a steady st ate.

In the case of the MT9042C, the output signal phase continuity is maintained to within ±5 ns at the instance (over

one frame) of all reference switches and all mode changes. The total phase shift, depending on the switch or type

of mode change, may accumulate up to ±200 ns over many frames. The rate of change of the ±200 ns phase shift

is limited to a maximum phase slope of approximately 5 ns/125 us. This meets the AT&T TR62411 maximum phase

slope requirement of 7.6 ns/125 us (81 ns/1.326 ms).

Phase Lock Time

This is the time it takes the synchronizer to phase lock to the input signal. Phase lock occurs when the input signal

and output signal are not changing in phase with respect to each other (not including jitter).

MTIE S() TIEmax t() TIEmin t()–=

MT9042C Data Sheet

Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.

Lock time is very difficult to determine because it is af fected by many factors which include:

i) initial input to output phase difference

ii) initial input to output frequency difference

iii) synchronizer loop filter

iv) synchronizer limiter

Although a short lock time is desirable, it is not always possible to achieve due to other synchronizer requirements.

For instance, better jitter transfer performance is achieved with a lower frequency loop filter which increases lock

time. And better (smaller) phase slope performance (limiter) results in longer lock times. The MT9042C loop filter

and limiter were optimized to meet the AT&T TR62411 jitter transfer and phase slope requirements. Consequently,

phase lock time, which is not a standards requirement, may be longer than in other applications. See AC Electrical

Characteristics - Performance for maximum phase lock time.

MT9042C and Network Specifications

The MT9042C fully meets all applicable PLL requirements (intrinsic jitter, jitter tolerance, jitter transfer, frequency

accuracy, holdover accuracy, capture range, phase change slope and MTIE during reference rearrangement) for

the following specifications.

Applications

This section contains MT9042C application specific details for clock and crystal operation, guard time usage, reset

operation, power supply decoupling, Manual Control opera tion and Automatic Control operation.

Master Clock

The MT9042C can use either a clock or crystal as the master timing source.

In Freerun Mode, the frequency tolerance at the clock outputs is identical to the frequency tolerance of the source

at the OSCi pin. For applications not requiring an accurate Freerun Mode, tolerance of the master timing source

may be ±100 ppm. For applications requiring an accurate Freerun Mode, such as AT&T TR62411, the tolerance of

the master timing source must Be no greater than ±32 ppm.

Another consideration in determining the accuracy of the master timing source is the desired capture range. The

sum of the accuracy of the master timing source and the capture range of the MT9042C will always equal

±230 ppm. For example, if the master timing source is ±100 ppm, then the capture range will be ±130 ppm.

Clock Oscillator - when selecting a Clock Oscillator, numerous parameters must be considered. This includes

absolute frequency, frequency change over temperature, output rise and fall times, output levels and duty cycle.

See AC Electrical Characteristics.

MT9042C Data Sheet

Figure 9 - Clock Oscillator Circuit

For applications requiring ±32 ppm clock accuracy, the following clock oscillator module may be used.

CTS CXO-65-HG-5-C-20.0 MHz

Frequency: 20 MHz

Tolerance: 25 ppm 0C to 70C

Rise & Fall Time: 8 ns (0.5 V 4.5 V 50 pF)

Duty Cycle: 45% to 55%

The output clock should be connected directly (not AC coupled) to the OSCi input of the MT9042C, and the OSCo

output should be left open as shown in Figure 9.

Crystal Oscillator - Alternatively, a Crystal Oscillator may be used. A complete oscillator circuit made up of a

crystal, resistor and capacitors is shown in Figure 10.

Figure 10 - Crystal Oscillator Circuit

The accuracy of a crystal oscillator depends on the crystal tolerance as well as the load capacitance tolerance.

Typically, for a 20 MHz crystal specified with a 32 pF load capacitance, each 1 pF change in load capacitance

contributes approximately 9 ppm to the frequency deviation. Consequently, capacitor tolerances, and stray

capacitances have a major effect on the accuracy of the oscillator frequ ency.

The trimmer capacitor shown in Figure 10 may be used to compensate for capacitive effects. If accuracy is not a

concern, then the trimmer may be removed, the 39 pF capacitor may be increased to 56 pF, and a wider tolerance

crystal may be substituted.

Guard Time Adjustment

AT&T TR62411 recommends that excessive switching of the timing reference should be minimized. And that

switching between references only be performed when the primary signal is degraded (e.g., error bursts of 2.5

seconds).

Minimizing switching (from PRI to SEC) in the MT9042C can be realized by first entering Holdover Mode for a

predetermined maximum time (i.e., guard time). If the degraded signal returns to normal before the expiry of the

guard time (e.g., 2.5 seconds), then the MT9042C is returned to its Normal Mode (with no reference switch taking

place). Otherwise, the reference input may be changed from Primary to Secondary.

Figure 11 - Symmetrical Guard Time Circuit

A simple way to control the guard time (using Automatic Control) is with an RC circuit as shown in Figure 11.

Resistor RP is for protection only and limits the current flowing into the GTi pin during power down conditions. The

guard time can be calculated as follows.

In cases where fast toggling might be expected of the LOS1 input, then an unsymmetrical Guard Time Circuit is

recommended. This ensures that reference switching doesn’t occur until the full guard time value has expired. An

unsymmetrical Guard Time Circuit is shown in Figure 12.

TIE Correction (using GTi)

When Primary Holdover Mode is entered for short time periods, TIE correction should not be enabled. This will

prevent unwanted accumulated phase change between the input and output. This is mainly applicable to Manual

Control, since Automatic Control together with the Guard Time Circuit inherently operate in this manner.

For instance, 10 Normal to Holdover to Normal mode change sequences occur, and in each case Holdover was

entered for 2s. Each mode change sequence could account for a phase change as large as 350 ns. Thus, the

accumulated phase change could be as large as 3.5 us, and, the overall MTIE could be as large as 3.5 us.

• 0.05 ppm is the accuracy of Holdover Mode

• 50 ns is the maximum phase continuity of the MT9042C from Normal Mode to Holdover Mode

• 200 ns is the maximum phase continuity of the MT9042C from Holdover Mode to Normal Mode (with or without TIE

Corrector Circuit)

When 10 Normal to Holdover to Normal mode change sequences occur without MTIE enabled, and in each case

holdover was entered for 2s, each mode change sequence could still account for a phase change as large as

350 ns. However, there would be no accumulated phase change, since the input to output phase is re-aligned after

every Holdover to Normal state change. The overall MTIE would only be 350 ns.

Reset Circuit

A simple power up reset circuit with about a 50 us reset low time is shown in Figure 15. Resistor RP is for protection

only and limits current into the RST pin during power down conditions. The reset low time is not critical but should

be greater than 300 ns.

Power Supply Decoupling

The MT9042C has two VDD (+5V) pins and two VSS (GND) pins. Power and decoupling capacitors should be

included as shown in Figure 17.

Figure 17 - Power Supp ly Decoupl ing

Dual T1 Reference Sources with MT9042 C in Automatic Control

For systems requiring simple state machine control, the application circuit shown in Figure 14 using Automatic

Control may be used.

In this circuit, the MT9042C is operating Automatically, is using a Guard Time Circuit, and the LOS1 and LOS2

inputs to determine all mode changes. Since the Guard Time Circuit is set to about 1s, all line interruptions

(LOS1=1) less than 1s will cause the MT9042C to go from Primary Normal Mode to Holdover Mode and not switch

references. For line interruptions greater than 1s, the MT9042C will switch Modes from Holdover to Secondary

Normal, providing the secondary signal is valid (LOS2=0). After receiving a good primary signal (LOS1=0), the

MT9042C will switch back to Primary Normal Mode.

For complete Automatic Control st ate machin e deta ils, refer to Table 5 for the State Table, and Figure 8 for the State

Diagram.

Dual E1 Reference Sources with MT904 2B in Manual Control

For systems requiring complex state machine control, the application circuit shown in Figure 16 using Manual

Control may be used.

In this circuit, the MT9042C is operating Manually and is using a contro ller for all mode changes . The controller set s

the MT9042C modes (Normal, Holdover or Freerun) by controlling the MT9042C mode/control select pins (MS2

and MS1). The input (Primary or Secondary) is selected with the reference select pin (RSEL). TIE correction from

Primary Holdover Mode to Primary Normal Mode is enabled and disabled with the guard time input pin (GTi). The

input to output phase alignment is re-aligned with the TIE circuit reset pin (TRST), and a complete device reset is

done with the RST pin.

The controller uses two stimulus inputs (LOS) directly from the MT9075 E1 interfaces, as well as an external

stimulus input. The external input may come from a device that monitors the status registers of the E1 interfaces,

and outputs a lo gic one in the event of an unaccept able status condition.

For complete Manual Control state machine details, refer to Table 4 for the State Table, and Figure 7 for the State

Diagram.
