Description
POS Mode only:
REOP is asserted (active high) to indicate that
RDAT
x
contains the last valid octet of the packet.
POS Mode:
RVAL asserted (active high) indicates that the
recevie data signals (RDAT
x
, RSOP, REOP, RMOD, RPRTY,
and RERR) are valid. When RAL is low, all receive signals are
invalid and must be disregarded. RVAL transitions low when the
Rx FIFO is empty or the end of a packet is reached, and data will
not be removed fromthe Rx FIFO while RVAL is low. Once
deasserted, RVAL remains so until the current PHY has been
deselected.
ATMMode:
RUEMPTY*/RUCLAV indicates
“

”

”
status of the UTOPIA receive interface for flow control.
RUEMPTY*is for word-level flow control; RUCLAV is for cell-
level flow control. Polarity is selectable via an internal register bit
(i.e., RUCLAV active high/RUEMPTY*active low, or vice versa).
POS Mode only:
An asserted RERR flag (active high) indicates
that the packet contained an error (i.e., abort/FCS error). The
RERR flag is only asserted during EOP-marked words.
POS Mode:
RENB is used by the Packet layer to indicate that
the RVAL, RSOP, RPRTY, RDAT
x
, RMOD
x
, REOP, and RERR
signals will be sampled at the end of the nest cycle (active low).
ATMMode:
RUENB*is used by the ATMlayer to indicate that
RUDATA, RUSOC, and RPRTY will be sampled at the end of the
nest cycle (active low).
POS Mode:
RFCLK is a reference clock provided by the Packet
layer to the PHY layer to synchronize transfers on RDAT
x
.
ATMMode:
RUCLK is a reference clock provided by the ATM
layer to the PHY layer to synchronize transfers on RUDATA
x
.

TXTS is an active high pulse generated when a cell/packet exits
the TPP block. The difference in time between a TXTS pulse
and a TSOP/TUSOC pulse can be used to determne transmt
FIFO latency.
RXTS is an active high pulse generated when a new cell/packet
arrives in the RPP block. The difference in time between an
RXTS pulse and an RSOP/RUSOC pulse is used to determne
receive FIFO latency.
This is a status signal for loss of signal (LOS) detection (active
high). LOS status is also indicated by an internal register bit.
This is a status signal for loss of frame (LOF) detection (active
high). LOF status is also indicated by an internal register bit.
This signal is asserted when the cell delineation state machine is
not in SYNC state. This alarmindication is also available via
internal register access.
