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.).

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
9
+
X
5
+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

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 100, 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
9
+X
5
+ 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 063. The frame sync
signal is used as marker pulses for the beginning of time slot
0.

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
Register; line 0 is receiving a line signal but the line trans-
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.
