0x02
0
—
Internal use only. Initialize to 0.
1
INF
Used for AAL5 Only. Indicates the transmitter state. Initialize to 0
0 In idle state.
1 In AAL5 frame transmission state.
2–11
—
Internal use only. Initialize to 0.
12
ABRF
Used for AAL5 Only.
0 ABR Flow control is disabled.
1 ABR Flow control is enabled.
13–15
AAL
AAL type
000 AAL0—Segmentation without any adaptation layer.
001 AAL1—ATM adaptation layer 1 protocol.
010 AAL5—ATM adaptation layer 5 protocol.
0x04
—
TxDBPTR
Tx data buffer pointer. Holds the real address of the current position in the Tx buffer.
0x08
—
TBDCNT
Transmit BD count. Counts the remaining data to transmit in the current transmit buffer.
Its initial value is loaded from the data length field of the TxBD when a new buffer is
open; its value is subtracted for any transmitted cell associated with this channel.
0x0A
—
TBD_OffSet
Transmit BD offset. Holds offset from TBD_BASE of the current BD. Initialize to 0.
0x0C
0–7
Rate
Reminder
Rate remainder. Used by the APC to hold the rate remainder after adding the pace
fraction to the additive channel rate. Initialize to 0.
8–15
PCR Fraction Peak cell rate fraction. Holds the peak cell rate fraction of this channel in units of 1/256
slot. If this is an ABR channel, this field is automatically updated by the CP.
0x0E
—
PCR
Peak cell rate. Holds the peak cell rate (in units of APC slots) permitted for this channel
according to the traffic contract. Note that for an ABR channel, the CP automatically
updates PCR to the ACR value.
0x10
—
—
Protocol-specific
0x16
—
APCLC
APC linked channel. Used by the CP. Initialize to 0 (null pointer).
0x18
—
ATMCH
ATM cell header. Holds the full (4-byte) ATM cell header of the current channel. The
transmitter appends ATMCH to the cell payload during transmission.
0x1C
0–1
—
Reserved, should be cleared.
2–7
PMT
Performance monitoring table. Points to one of the available 64 performance
monitoring tables. The starting address of the table is PMT_BASE+PMT
×
32. Can be
changed on-the-fly.
8–15
TBD_BASE
TxBD base. Points to the first BD in the channel’s TxBD table. The 8 most-significant
bits of the address are taken from BD_BASE_EXT in the parameter RAM. The four
least-significant bits of the address are taken as zero.
0x1E
0–11
12
BNM
Buffer-not-ready interrupt mask. Can be changed on-the-fly.
0 The transmit buffer-not-ready event of this channel is masked. (TBNR event is not
sent to the interrupt queue.)
1 The buffer-not-ready event of this channel is enabled.
13
STPT
Stop transmit. Initialize to 0. When the host sets this bit, the CP deactivates this
channel and clears TCT[VCON] when the channel is next encountered in the APC
scheduling table. Note that for AAL5 if STPT is set and frame transmission is already
started (TCT[INF]=1), an abort indication will be sent (last cell with zero length field).
