Mode 4 Operation of the Terminal Equipment
When the XRT74L73 is operating in this mode, it will
function as the source of the 11.184MHz (e.g., the
44.736MHz clock signal divided by "4") clock signal,
that will be used as the Terminal Equipment Interface
clock by both the XRT74L73 and the Terminal Equip-
ment.
The Terminal Equipment will output the payload data
of the outbound DS3 data stream via its
DS3_Data_Out[2:0] pins on the rising edge of the
11.184MHz clock signal at the DS3_Nib_Clock_In in-
put pin.
The XRT74L73 will latch the outbound DS3 data
stream (from the Terminal Equipment) on the rising
edge of the TxNibClk output clock signal. The
XRT74L73 will indicate that it is processing the last
nibble, within a given DS3 frame, by pulsing its Tx-
NibFrame output pin "High" for one TxNibClk clock
period. When the Terminal Equipment detects a
pulse at its Tx_Start_of_Frame input pin, it is expect-
ed to transmit the first nibble, of the very next out-
bound DS3 frame to the XRT74L73 via the
DS3_Data_Out[2:0] (or TxNib[2:0] pins).
Finally, for the Nibble-Parallel Mode operation, the
XRT74L73 will continuously pull the TxOHInd output
pin "Low".
The behavior of the signals between the XRT74L73
and the Terminal Equipment for DS3 Mode 4 Opera-
tion is illustrated in Figure 58 .
