new DS3 frame, but is rather driven by the Terminal
Equipment. Hence, the XRT7250 is referred to as
the Frame Slave.
2. If the user opts to configure the XRT7250 to oper-
ate in Mode 2, it is imperative that the
Tx_Start_of_Frame (or TxFrameRef) signal is syn-
chronized to the TxInClk input clock signal.
Finally, the XRT7250 will pulse its TxOH_Ind output
pin, one bit-period prior to it processing a given over-
head bit, within the outbound DS3 frame. Since the
TxOH_Ind output pin of the XRT7250 is electrically
connected to the DS3_Overhead_Ind, whenever the
XRT7250 pulses the TxOH_Ind output pin "High", it
will also be driving the DS3_Overhead_Ind input pin
(of the Terminal Equipment) "High". Whenever the
Terminal Equipment detects this pin toggling "High", it
should delay transmission of the very next DS3 frame
payload bit by one clock cycle.

How to configure the XRT7250 to operate in this
mode.
1. Set the NibIntf input pin "Low".
2. Set the TimRefSel[1:0] bit-fields (within the
Framer Operating Mode Register) to "01" as
depicted below.

Frame-Master Mode Behavior of the XRT7250
If the XRT7250 has been configured to operate in this
mode, then the XRT7250 will function as follows.
