How to configure the XRT7250 into Mode 5
1. Set the NibIntf input pin "High".
2. Set the TimRefSel[1:0] bit-fields (within the
Framer Operating Mode Register) to "01" as illus-
trated below.

3. Interface the XRT7250, to the Terminal Equip-
ment, as illustrated in Figure 108.

Behavior of the XRT7250
If the XRT7250 has been configured to operate in this
mode, then the XRT7250 will function as follows:
A. Local-Timed - Uses the TxInClk signal as the
Timing Reference

In this mode, the Transmit Section of the XRT7250
will use the TxInClk signal at its timing reference.
Further, the chip will internally divide the TxInClk
clock signal by a factor of 4 and will output this divid-
ed clock signal via the TxNibClk output pin. The
Transmit Terminal Equipment Input Interface block
(within the XRT7250) will use the rising edge of the
TxNibClk signal, to latch the data, residing on the Tx-
Nib[3:0] into its circuitry.
