DESCRIPTION
Receive Serial Payload Data Output pin:
If the user opts to operate the XRT72L56 in the serial mode, then the chip will output the pay-
load data, of the incoming E3 frames, via this pin. The XRT72L56 will output this data upon
the rising edge of RxClk.
The user is advised to design the Terminal Equipment such that it will sample this data on the
falling edge of RxClk.
This signal is only active if the NibInt input pin is pulled "Low".
Receive Nibble-Parallel Payload Data Output pins:
If the user opts to operate the XRT72L56 in the nibble-parallel mode, then the chip will output
the payload data, of the incoming E3 frames, via these pins. The XRT72L56 will output data
via these pins, upon the falling edge of the RxClk output pin.
The user is advised to design the Terminal Equipment such that it will sample this data upon
the rising edge of RxClk.
NOTE: These pins are only active if the NibInt input pin is pulled "High".
Receive Payload Data Output Clock pin:
The exact behavior of this signal depends upon whether the XRT72L56 is operating in the
Serial or in the Nibble-Parallel-Mode.
Serial Mode Operation
In the serial mode, this signal is a 34.368MHz clock output signal. The Receive Payload Data
Output Interface will update the data via the RxSer output pin, upon the rising edge of this
clock signal.
The user is advised to design (or configure) the Terminal Equipment to sample the data on the
RxSer pin, upon the falling edge of this clock signal.
Nibble-Parallel Mode Operation
In this Nibble-Parallel Mode, the XRT72L56 will derive this clock signal, from the RxLineClk
signal. The XRT72L56 will pulse this clock 1060 times for each inbound E3 frame. The
Receive Payload Data Output Interface will update the data, on the RxNib[3:0] output pins
upon the falling edge of this clock signal.
The user is advised to design (or configure) the Terminal Equipment to sample the data on the
RxNib[3:0] output pins, upon the rising edge of this clock signal
Receive Overhead Bit Indicator Output:
This output pin will pulse "High" whenever the Receive Payload Data Output Interface outputs
an overhead bit via the RxSer output pin. The purpose of this output pin is to alert the Terminal
Equipment that the current bit, (which is now residing on the RxSer output pin), is an overhead
bit and should not be processed by the Terminal Equipment.
The XRT72L56 will update this signal, upon the rising edge of RxOHInd.
The user is advised to design (or configure) the Terminal Equipment to sample this signal
(along with the data on the RxSer output pin) on the falling edge of the RxClk signal.
NOTE: For E3 applications, this output pin is only active if the XRT72L56 is operating in the
Serial Mode. This output pin will be "Low" if the device is operating in the Nibble-Parallel
Mode.
Receive Start of Frame Output Indicator:
The exact behavior of this pin, depends upon whether the XRT72L56 has been configured to
operate in the Serial Mode or the Nibble-Parallel Mode.
Serial Mode Operation:
The Receive Section of the XRT72L56 will pulse this output pin "High" (for one bit period)
when the Receive Payload Data Output Interface block is driving the very first bit (or Nibble) of
a given E3 frame, onto the RxSer output pin.
Nibble-Parallel Mode Operation:
The Receive Section of the XRT72L56 will pulse this output pin "High" for one nibble period,
when the Receive Payload Data Output Interface is driving the very first nibble of a given E3
frame, onto the RxNib[3:0] output pins.
