Operation of the Receive Payload Data Output In-
terface block
The Receive Payload Data Output Interface permits
the user to read out the payload data of inbound DS3
frames, via either of the following modes.
• Serial Mode
• Nibble-Parallel Mode
Each of these modes are described in detail, below.
4.3.5.1 Serial Mode Operation
Behavior of the XRT72L56
If the XRT72L56 has been configured to operate in
the Serial mode, then the XRT72L56 will behave as
follows.
Payload Data Output
The XRT72L56 will output the payload data, of the in-
coming DS3 frames via the RxSer output, upon the
rising edge of RxClk.
Delineation of inbound DS3 Frames
The XRT72L56 will pulse the RxFrame output pin
"High" for one bit-period, coincident with it driving the
first bit within a given DS3 frame, via the RxSer out-
put pin.
Interfacing the XRT72L56 to the Receive Terminal
Equipment
Figure 93 presents a simple illustration as how the
user should interface the XRT72L56 to that terminal
equipment which processes Receive Direction pay-
load data.

Required Operation of the Terminal Equipment
The XRT72L56 will update the data on the RxSer out-
put pin, upon the rising edge of RxClk. However, be-
cause the rising edge of RxClk to data delay is be-
tween 14ns to 16ns, the Terminal Equipment should
sample the data on the RxSer output pin (or the
DS3_Data_In pin at the Terminal Equipment) upon
the rising edge of RxClk. This will still permit the Ter-
minal Equipment with a RxSer to RxClk set-up time of
approximately 6ns and a hold time of 14 to 16ns. As
the Terminal Equipment samples RxSer with each ris-
ing edge of RxClk it should also be sampling the fol-
lowing signals.
• RxFrame
• RxOHInd
The Need for sampling RxFrame
The XRT72L56 will pulse the RxFrame output pin
"High" coincident with it driving the very first bit of a
given DS3 frame onto the RxSer output pin. If knowl-
edge of the DS3 Frame Boundaries is important for
the operation of the Terminal Equipment, then this is
a very important signal for it to sample.
The Need for sampling RxOHInd
The XRT72L56 will indicate that it is currently driving
an overhead bit onto the RxSer output pin, by pulsing
the RxOHInd output pin "High". If the Terminal Equip-
ment samples this signal "High", then it should know
