Clear Channel Mode Receive Clock Output Signal for Serial Data Interface/
Receive PLCP Frame Path Overhead (POH) Byte Serial Output Port—Output
Clock Signal:
The exact functionality of this output pin depends upon whether the XRT72L71
Framer IC is operating in the Clear Channel or ATM UNI Mode.
Clear Channel Mode - RxSerClk:
In clear channel mode, this pin can be used by the external interface to sample the
clear channel serial data stream on RxSer pin. The Receive Section of the
XRT72L71 will output all “inbound” DS3 data, via the “RxSerData” output pin,
upon the rising edge of this output pin. Hence, the user should be sampling the
data (on the “RxSerData” output pin) upon the rising edge of this clock.
ATM UNI MODE - RxPOHClk:
In the ATM UNI mode of operation, this pin serves as RxPOHClk.
This output clock pin, along with RxPOH, RxPOHframe pins comprise the
'Receive PLCP OH serial output' interface.

Receive Positive Data Input:
The exact role of this input pin depends upon whether the UNI is operating in the
Unipolar or Bipolar Mode.
Unipolar Mode:
This input pin functions as the “Single-Rail” input for the “incoming” DS3 data
stream. The signal at this input pin will be sampled and latched (into the Receive
DS3 Framer) on the “user-selected” edge of the RxLineClk signal.
Bipolar Mode:
This input functions as one of the dual rail inputs for the incoming AMI/B3ZS
encoded DS3 data that has been received from an external Line Interface Unit
(LIU) IC. RxNEG functions as the other dual rail input for the UNI. When this input
pin is asserted, it means that the LIU has received a “positive polarity” pulse from
the line.

8 kHz Reference Clock Input for the PLCP Processors:
The Transmit PLCP processor can be configured to synchronize its PLCP frame
processing to this clock signal. The Transmit PLCP Processor will also use this
signal to compute the trailer nibble stuff opportunities.

OTES
:
1. This input signal is active only if the user has configured the PLCP Pro-
cessors to use this signal as their “master clock” signal. The user can con-
figure the UNI to use this signal by setting TimRefSel[1,0] (within the UNI
Operating Mode Register) to 01.
2. The user should tie this pin to “GND” whenever the XRT72L73 has been
configured to operate in the “Clear-Channel-Framer” Mode.
