detailed description
transmit operation
The transmit parallel interface consists of TTL-compatible byte-wide input data (TPD0–TPD7), a
TTL-compatible transmit output clock (TPCK), and a TTL-compatible return clock input (RTNCK). TPCK is an
output to associated processing elements (i.e., a framer) that controls the output of byte-wide transmit data from
such devices. The return clock and data are input to the TNETA1611 such that byte-wide transmit data
(TPD0–TPD7) is clocked into the TNETA1611 on low-to-high transitions of RTNCK. If a return clock is not
available, RTNCK can be tied to TPCK provided the timing requirements between TPCK and TPD0–TPD7 can
be met.
The byte-wide data is converted to a 622.08-Mbit/s serial-data stream that is sent out differentially on transmit
serial-data true (TSDT) and transmit serial-data complement (TSDC). In addition, a phase-aligned 622.08-MHz
clock is sent out differentially on transmit serial-clock true (TSCT) and transmit serial-clock complement
(TSCC). The serial output data is valid on the rising edge of TSCT. TSDT, TSDC, TSCT, and TSCC are
pseudo-ECL-compatible outputs.
The transmit clock source can come from either of two inputs. If transmit clock loop (CLKLOOP) is low, an
external 622.08-MHz clock source is used. This differential transmit high-speed clock input enters on pseudo-
ECL-compatible terminals TXHCKT and TXHCKC. If CLKLOOP is high, the receive serial clock (RSCT and
RSCC) input with the receive data stream is used for transmit operations.
A facility-loopback (FLB) option is also available. When FLB is high, data input into the receiver and the
corresponding clock are looped back and provided at the transmitter outputs. This allows a method for loopback
testing in a system.
Transmit functions are reset by taking RESET low. This action can result in the loss of any data being processed.
