Transmit Serial Payload Data Input/Transmit PLCP Frame POH Byte Inser-
tion Serial Input:
The exact functionality of this output pin depends upon whether the XRT72L71
Framer IC is operating in the Clear Channel or ATM Uni Mode.
Clear Channel Mode:
In clear channel mode, this pin can be used by the external interface to provide the
serial input data (payload and OH) that has to be mapped in outgoing DS3 frame.
If user want to insert OH data on TxSer pin then the user should configure the
XRT72L71 accordingly.
ATM UNI Mode:
This input pin becomes active when the user asserts the TxPOHIns input pin.
When this happens the user will be permitted to serially input their own value for
PLCP POH bytes into the “outbound” PLCP frame. This data will be clocked into
the UNI Framer via the TxPOHClk output signal. This UNI will also assert the
TxPOHMSB output pin when it expects the MSB (Most significant bit) of the Z6
Byte (within the PLCP frame).

Transmit PLCP Frame POH Byte Insertion Clock:
This pin, along with the TxPOH and the TxPOHMSB input pins, function as the
“Transmit PLCP Frame POH Byte” serial input port. This output pin functions as a
clock output signal that is used to sample the user’s POH data at the TxPOH input
pin. This output pin is always active, independent of the state of the “TxPOHIns”
pin.

:
This output pin is only active if the XRT72L73 has been configured to oper-
ate in the “ATM UNI” Mode.

Transmit PLCP Frame Path Overhead Byte Serial Input Port—Beginning of
Frame indicator.
This output pin, along with the TxPOH, TxPOHClk, and TxPOHIns pins comprise
the “Transmit PLCP Frame POH Byte Insertion” serial input port. This particular
pin will pulse “High” when the “Transmit PLCP POH Byte Insertion” serial input
port is expecting the first bit of the Z6 byte at the TxPOH input pin.
N
OTE
:
This output pin is only active if the XRT72L73 has been configured to oper-
ate in the “ATM UNI” Mode.
Transmit PLCP Frame POH Data Insert Enable:
This input can be asserted to allow the user to input his/her own value for the
PLCP POH bytes via the TxPOH input pin, in each PLCP frame, prior to transmis-
sion. If this input pin is not asserted, then the UNI will generate its own PLCP POH
bytes.
N
OTE
:
The user should tie this input pin to “GND” if the XRT72L73 is going to be
configured to operate in either the “Clear-Channel-Framer” Mode or in the “Direct-
Mapped ATM” Mode.

The exact functionality of this output pin depends upon whether the XRT72L71
UNI/Framer IC is operating in the Clear Channel or ATM Uni Mode.
Clear Channel Mode - RxOHInd:
In clear channel mode, this pin is pulsed “High” for one bit period whenever an over-
head bit is being output via the RxSerData output pin. In other words, the “RxSer-
Data” output pin will contain an over-head if this pin is sampled “High”.
ATM UNI Mode:
This output pin pulses “High” when the Receive PLCP Processor is receiving the last
bit of a given PLCP frame.
