PLC-S Control Register C (PLC_CNTRL_C)
PLC_CNTRL_C has address OA (hex). It is readable
and writeable. Bits 1 through 15 are cleared with the as-
sertion of
RST
. Bit 0 (CIPHER_ENABLE) assumes the
same value as SCRM after
RST
is asserted.
The PLC_CNTRL_C register bit assignments are listed
in Table 4.

These two bits are reserved for diagnostic purposes and must be 0 for normal operation.

ENABLE)

These two bits are used to control the assertion of FOTOFF signal of PLC-S if scrambler/
descrambler is enabled either (by SCRM or CIPHER_ENABLE). The following timing delays
are with respect to the time from which PLC-S output scrambled Quiet symbols on TDAT lines.

If this bit is set and scrambler/descrambler is enabled (by SCRM or CIPHER_ENABLE), then
SDON_TIMER bits (11–10) will determine the delay for asserting the Signal_Detect signal.
During this time, the descrambler is allowed to acquire synchronization of its input stream.
7
SDON_ENABLE
6
SDOFF_ENABLE
If this bit is set and scrambler/descrambler is enabled (bySCRM or CIPHER_ENABLE ), then
SDOFF_TIMER bits (13–12) will determine the delay for deasserting the Signal_Detect signal.
5–2
RESERVED
Bits 5–2 are reserved and should be set to 0.
1
CIPHER_LPBCK
If this bit is set, then the output of the scrambler is looped back to the input of the
descrambler (within PLC-S).
0
CIPHER_ENABLE
This bit is used to enable and disable the scrambler/descrambler function if SCRM (pin #41)
is not asserted. If SCRM is asserted, this bit is automatically set to 1. If SCRM is not
asserted, the value of this bit is determined by software. The default state (SCRM not
asserted) is 0.
