TOOL BRIEF
EASY2256
Evaluation System for FALC®56
The EASY2256 Evaluation System includes
specially optimized modular hardware and
software components designed to demonstrate
the performance of Infineon’s FALC®56
(PEF 2256 H) in a real-world telecommunications
environment.
Each module is controlled by a its own device
driver and API including SSM (Synchronization
Status Message support). The API and SSM run on
Infineon’s C165UTAH controller together with the
firmware.
The EASY 2256 provides system vendors with a
highly integrated, software programmable inter-
face reference design for sophisticated E1/T1/J1
framer and Line Interface Unit (LIU) applications
based on Infineon’s FALC®56 transceiver.
The EASY2256 Evaluation System is AT&T and
ETSI certified.
Functionality
■Meets all relevant E1/T1/J1 stan-
dards for pulse template, jitter, re-
ceiver return loss, line attenuation
for short and long haul applica-
tions.

with a single clock oscillator as the
source for the FALC®56 reference
clock in E1/T1 or J1 mode
■Features ITU-T K.20/21 approved
line interface circuitry
■The FALC®56 driver code is
downloaded to the board via
RS-232 or USB connections to
communicate with the Microsoft
Windows® menu-based WinEASY
program.

Hardware Description
The EASY2256 board includes the FALC®56 with an ex-
ternal line front end. The FALC®56 is connected to a
16-bit CPU C165UTAH. Two serial interfaces provide
download and debug capability. The board can be con-
nected to standard E1/T1/J1 test equipment via an RJ-45
or BNC connection.
The AFE represents an optimized generic E1 and T1/J1
platform to meet the pulse shape requirements. The AFE
also meets receive and transmit return loss and imped-
ance towards GND specifications without resistor switch-
ing for E1-120 Ω, E1-75 Ω and T1-100 Ω cables.
Test connectors provide easy access to all system inter-
face, clock and boundary scan signals.
Four LEDs are included to indicate the synchronization
state, loopback status, loss of signal (red alarm), and re-
mote alarm (yellow alarm).
Schematics and layout files are part of the CD-ROM pack-
age.
Software Description
In addition to the WinEASY GUI, the software package in-
cludes the Device Driver System (DDS) and API driver
modules for the FALC®56.
The FALC®56 API provides state-of- the-art calls and call
back functions to configure and maintain the device, and
also supports SSM (Synchronization Status Messages).
The API is easily ported to various platforms using adap-
tation layers.
The FALC®56-API contains all device specific functions
for data and status transfer, including signaling, perfor-
mance, and alarms, as well as for overall device configu-
ration.
