General Description
CoreU1LL is a UTOPIA Level 1 Link-Layer (Master)
interface core that connects directly to any ATM PHY-
Layer (Slave) device and user logic (or optional ATM cell
buffer blocks) to provide an interface between the PHY-
Layer device and a non-standard Link-Layer device or
user logic (Figure 1).
