as the Frame Master and the Terminal Equipment is
referred to as the Frame Slave.
Finally, the XRT7250 will pulse its TxOH_Ind output
pin, one bit-period prior to it processing a given over-
head bit, within the outbound E3 frame. Since the
TxOH_Ind output pin (of the XRT7250) is electrically
connected to the E3_Overhead_Ind whenever the
XRT7250 pulses the TxOH_Ind output pin "High”, it
will also be driving the E3_Overhead_Ind input pin (of
the Terminal Equipment) "High". Whenever the Ter-
minal Equipment detects this pin toggling "High", it
should delay transmission of the very next DS3 frame
payload bit by one clock cycle.
The behavior of the signal between the XRT7250 and
the Terminal Equipment for E3 Mode 3 Operation is il-
lustrated in Figure 105.

Note: TxFrame pulses high to denote

Note: TxOH_Ind pulses high for 12
bit-periods in order to denote
Overhead Data (e.g., the FAS pattern,
the A and N bits).
E3 Frame Number N + 1
Note: FAS pattern will not be processed by the
Transmit Payload Data Input Interface.
How to configure the XRT7250 to operate in this
mode.
1. Set the NibIntf input pin "Low".
2. Set the TimRefSel[1:0] bit-fields (within the
Framer Operating Mode Register) to "01" as
depicted below.
