Transmit Line Interface Summary
The following list summarizes the transmit line interface operations for each STS mode.
I
In quad STS-3/STM-1 and STS-12/STM-4 modes, the transmit line interface receives 8 bits of data from each
OHP block (A, B, C, and D) at 19.44 Mbits/s and 77.76 Mbits/s, respectively. An 8-to-1 parallel-to-serial conver-
sion produces output data at 155.52 Mbits/s for STS-3/STM-1 mode and 622.08 Mbits/s for STS-12/STM-4
mode. For facility loopback, the outputs are multiplexed with the corresponding data from the STS-12/STS-3
(STM-4/STM-1) receive block and sent to four differential LVPECL buffers.
I
In STS-48/STM-16 mode, a 32-bit data word at 77.76 Mbits/s is received from the OHP. Then a 2-to-1 parallel-to-
parallel conversion is performed producing a 16-bit word at 155.52 Mbits/s. In this mode, an external 16:1 data
demultiplexer is required. Facility loopback is not available for the STS-48/STM-16 mode.
I
There is a single clock input, TxCKP/N, in the transmit case. The clock source rates are 622.08 MHz (STS-12/
STM-4), 155.52 MHz (STS-3/STM-1), or 155.52 MHz (STS-48/STM-16).
In the STS-48/STM-16 case, two transmit clock modes are available, contra* and forward clocking. In the contra-
clocking mode, the transmit data is sent out as commanded by TxCKP/N; in addition, an internal PLL must be
activated, core register 0x0010 bit 5, to minimize the phase delay between TxCKP/N and the transmitted data. In
the forward clocking mode, the transmit data and the clock, TxCKQ (used to clock out the data), are sent in par-
allel to the transmit multiplexer.
In STS-12/STM-4 and STS-3/STM-1 modes, the input clock is divided by eight producing the internal clock at
77.76 MHz and 19.44 MHz, respectively. In STS-48/STM-16 mode, the input clock is divided by eight to produce
an internal clock at 77.76 MHz. The CLKDIV pin (H4) controls this division. Table 13 shows the required value of
CLKDIV.
Table 13. Clock Settings for CLKDIV Pin
I
TxFSYNCP/N is an optional external frame sync. This 8 kHz frame sync pulse must be synchronous with
TxCKP/N. It is, at minimum, a one TxCKP/N clock cycle wide pulse that is latched in at the system rate
(622.08 MHz or 155.52 MHz). TOH interface signal RxREF should not be used as a source to TxFSYNCP/N.
I
The active edge of the transmit clock is the positive edge.
I
When TDAT042G5 operates in asynchronous mode (MPMODE = 0), the line block provides the microprocessor
clock to the microprocessor interface block. The CLKDIV pin must be set to ensure that the clock is always
77.76 MHz.
Line interface timing is given in the Interface Timing Specifications section (see Table 168, page 267).
* Contra refers to a type of data transmission whereby a clock signal is received by a register
before
the register sends data.

Description
When in STS-12/STM-4 (622.08 MHz divide by 8).
When in STS-3/STM-1, STS-48/STM-16 (155.52 MHz divide by 2).
