Figure 24-10 shows a case when, after the end of transmission of a cell from PHY N, no other PHY has a
cell available. Therefore,
UR-ENB
remains asserted as the ATM assumes a cell-available from PHY N.
With clock edge #9, it turns out that PHY N also has no cell available, as UR-SOC remains low. The
ATM then deasserts
UR-ENB
while the polling of the PHYs continues. With clock edge #15,
PHY N - 3 is found to have a cell for transmission. Thus, address N - 3 is applied and the PHY N - 3 is
selected with clock edge #16. Additional receive interface examples are available in [3].

Up to a maximum of four PHY ports can be connected to one ATM layer. For each PHY port, the status
signals UR-CLAV and UT-CLAV are permanently available according to UTOPIA Level 1 specification.
Status signals and cell transfers are independent of each other. No address information is needed to obtain
status information. Address information must be valid only for selecting a PHY port prior to one or
multiple cell transfers. With respect to the status signals UR-CLAV and UT-CLAV, this mode of
operation corresponds to that of four individual PHY devices according to UTOPIA Level 1. With respect
to the cell transfer, this mode of operation corresponds to that as described in this document and [3]. The
ATM layer selects a PHY port for cell transfer by placing the desired port on the address lines
(UR-ADDRx, UT-ADDRx), while the enable signal (
UR-ENB
,
UT-ENB
) is deasserted. All PHY ports
only examine the value on the address lines for possible selection when the enable signal is deasserted. In
case the ATM suspends transmission for a specific PHY port during a cell transfer, no cells to/from other
PHY ports can be transferred during this time.
