PRELIMINARY
Remote Terminal Equipment), the XRT74L73
Framer IC will generate the Completion of Trans-
mission of a LAPD Message Interrupt to the
Microcontroller/Microprocessor. Once the
XRT74L73 Framer IC generates this interrupt, it
will do the following.
• Assert the Interrupt Output pin (INT) by toggling it
“Low”.
• Set Bit 0 (TxLAPD Interrupt Status) within the TxE3
LAPD Status and Interrupt Register, to “1” as illus-
trated below.

The purpose of this interrupt is to alert the Microcon-
troller/MIcroprocessor that the LAPD Transmitter has
completed its transmission of a given LAPD (or PM-
DL) Message, and is now ready to transmit the next
PMDL Message, to the Remote Terminal Equipment.
5.3 THE RECEIVE SECTION OF THE XRT74L73 (E3
MODE OPERATION)
When the XRT74L73 has been configured to operate
in the E3 Mode, the Receive Section of the
XRT74L73 consists of the following functional blocks.
• Receive LIU Interface block
• Receive HDLC Controller block
• Receive E3 Framer block
• Receive Overhead Data Output Interface block
• Receive Payload Data Output Interface block
Figure 134 presents a simple illustration of the Re-
ceive Section of the XRT74L73 Framer IC.

5.3.1 The Receive E3 LIU Interface Block
The purpose of the Receive E3 LIU Interface block is
two-fold:
1. To receive encoded digital data from the E3 LIU
IC.
