General Description
The MTC-20278/9 chip contains all
the functions necessary to make 4 ‘U’
interfaces in an ISDN Line Termination
card. It comprises 4, fully integrated
echo-canceling ‘U’ interfaces, confor-
mant to the ‘Uk0’ interface point, plus
the necessary support and test func-
tions. The general block diagram is
shown in Figure 1. Two versions of the
device are available - the MTC-20278
offering the 2B1Q line code, and the
MTC-20279 which has 4B3T line cod-
ing. Both devices are pin compatible,
and are fully compliant with the rele-
vant parts of ETSI, FTZ and ITU
requirements for ISDN connection.
The MTC-20278/9 devices offer a
user transport rate of 144kbit/s full
duplex (2B + D) per channel, as well
as fully automatic control of
activate/deactivate protocols and line
supply, and full support of the mainte-
nance channel.
The MTC-20278 offers facilities
required for the synchronisation of
DECT base stations (“heart beat” and
loop length estimation)
The digital interface on the ‘exchange’
side uses the industry-standard GCI
interface in 2 Mbit burst mode. This
mode allows for 8 channels to be multi-
plexed onto the same interface. The
MTC-20278/9 can be set to respond to
either the first 4 or the last 4 timeslots in
the GCI frame. This allows two devices,
totalling 8 ISDN lines, to be multiplexed
onto the same GCI interface.
The MTC-20278/9 takes all timing
information from the GCI clocks, and
so does not require a separate clock
oscillator.
Figure 2 shows the typical circuit con-
figuration of the MTC-20278/9.
