Required Operation of the Terminal Equipment
The XRT72L56 will update the data on the RxNib[3:0]
line, upon the rising edge of RxClk. Hence, the Ter-
minal Equipment should sample the data on the Rx-
Nib[3:0] output pins (or the E3_Data_In[3:0] input
pins at the Terminal Equipment) upon the rising edge
of RxClk. As the Terminal Equipment samples RxSer
with each rising edge of RxClk it should also be sam-
pling the RxFrame signal.
The Need for Sampling RxFrame
The XRT72L56 will pulse the RxFrame output pin
"High" coincident with it driving the very first nibble of
a given E3 frame, onto the RxNib[3:0] output pins. If
knowledge of the E3 Frame Boundaries is important
for the operation of the Terminal Equipment, then this
is a very important signal for it to sample.
The Behavior of the Signals between the Receive
Payload Data Output Interface block and the Ter-
minal Equipment
The behavior of the signals between the XRT72L56
and the Terminal Equipment for E3 Nibble-Mode op-
eration is illustrated in Figure 153.
