PRELIMINARY
for 3 nibble-periods (e.g., the 3 nibbles consisting of
the 10 bit FAS pattern, the “A” and the “N” bits). The
TxOHInd output pin will remain "Low” for the remain-
der of the frame period. The TxOHInd output pin will
toggle "High” one-nibble period before the Transmit
Section (of the Framer IC) processes the first four bits
of the FAS pattern.
The behavior of the signals between the XRT74L73
and the Terminal Equipment for E3 Mode 4 Operation
is illustrated in Figure 114 .

How to configure the XRT74L73 into Mode 4
1. Set the NibIntf input pin "High".
2. Set the TimRefSel[1:0] bit-fields (within the
Framer Operating Mode Register) to "00" as illus-
trated below.

3. Interface the XRT74L73, to the Terminal Equip-
ment, as illustrated in Figure 113 .
NOTE: The XRT74L73 Framer IC cannot support the
Framer Local Loop-back Mode of operation, while operat-
ing in Mode 4. The user must configure the XRT74L73
