This interface collects cells (from the cell based
function module) or a byte stream (from the
deframer).
Cells are stored in a fifo, 2 interfaces submodules
can extract data from the fifo. Byte streams are
dumped on the bitstream interface (with no fifo).
3 kinds of interface are allowed:
– Utopia Level 1
– Utopia Level 2
– Bitstream based on a proprietary exchange
The interface selection is programmed by writing
the Utopia PHY address register.
Only one interface can be enabled in a ST70135A
configuration.
Utopia Level 1 supports only one PHY device.
Utopia Level 2 supports multi-PHY devices (See
Utopia Level 2 specifications).
Each buffer provides storage for 8 ATM cells(both
directions for Fast and Interleaved channel).
The Utopia Level 2 supports point to multipoint
configurations

Utopia Level 1 Interface
The ATM forum takes the ATM layer chip as a
reference. It defines the direction from ATM to
physical layer as the Transmitdirection.
The direction from physical layer to ATM is the
Receive direction. Figures 12 & 13 show the
interconnection between ATM and PHY layer
devices, the optional signals are not supported
and not shown.
The Utopia interface transfers one byte in a single
clock cycle, as a result cells are transformed in 53
clock cycles.
Both transmit and receive are synchronized on
clocks generated by the ATM layer chip, and no
specific relationship between receive and transmit
clocks is required. In this mode, the ST70135A
can only support one data flow : either interleaved
or fast.
