In this case the XRT74L73 has the responsibility of
providing the framing reference signal by pulsing the
TxFrame output pin (and in turn the
Tx_Start_of_Frame input pin of the Terminal Equip-
ment) "High" for one bit-period, coincident with the
last bit within a given E3 frame.
Finally, the XRT74L73 will always internally generate
the Overhead bits, when it is operating in both the E3
and Nibble-parallel modes. The XRT74L73 will pull
the TxOHInd input pin "Low".
The behavior of the signals between the XRT74L73
and the Terminal Equipment for E3 Mode 6 Operation
is illustrated in Figure 175 .

How to configure the XRT74L73 into Mode 6
1. Set the NibInt input pin "High".
2. Set the TimRefSel[1:0] bit-fields (within the
Framer Operating Mode Register) to "1X" as
illustrated below.
