Encoder (B3ZS) Disable Output pin (intended to be connected to the
XRT73L03 E3/DS3/STS-1 LIU IC):
This output pin is intended to be connected to the EncoDis input pin of the
XRT73L03 LIU IC. The user can control the state of this output pin by writing a “0”
or “1” to Bit 3 (EncoDis) of the Line Interface Driver Register (Address = 0x72). If
the user commands this signal to toggle “High” then it will disable the B3ZS
encoder circuitry within the XRT73L03 IC. Conversely, if the user commands this
output signal to toggle “Low”, then the B3ZS Encoder circuitry, within the
XRT73L03 IC will be enabled.
Writing a “1” to Bit 3 of the Line Interface Driver Register (Address = 0x72) will
cause this output pin to toggle “High”. Writing a “0” to this bit-field will cause this
output pin to toggle “Low”.

OTES
:
1. The user is advised to disable the B3ZS encoder (within the XRT73L03 IC) if
the Tansmit and Receive DS3 Framers (within the UNI) are configured to
operate in the B3ZS line code.
2. If the designer is not using the XRT73L03 DS3/E3/STS-1 Line Transmitter
IC, then output pin can be used for other purposes.
External PLCP Frame Stuff Control:
This input allows the user to externally exercise or forego trailer nibble stuffing
opportunities by the Transmit PLCP Processor. PLCP trailer nibble stuff opportuni-
ties occur in periods of three PLCP frames (375μs). The first PLCP frame (first
within a “stuff opportunity” period) will have 13 trailer nibbles appended to it. The
second PLCP frame (second within a “stuff opportunity” period) will have 14 trailer
nibbles appended to it. The third PLCP frame (the location of the stuff opportunity)
will contain 13 trailer nibbles if the StuffCtl input is “Low” and 14 trailer nibbles is
the StuffCtl input is “High”.

OTE
:
The user should tie this input pin to “GND” whenever the XRT72L73 has
been configured to operate in the “Clear-Channel-Framer” Mode.

Transmit Overhead Data Indicator/Transmit PLCP Frame Boundary Indica-
tor—Output:
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:
In the Clear Channel Mode, this pin serves as the transmit OH Indication for the
external interface. This pin is pulsed for one bit period of DS3 clock to indicate to
the external device that the transmit input interface is going to process OH data at
the rising edge of next clock. When the external interface samples TxOHInd as
“High” With the rising edge of DS3 Clk; it is expected NOT to provide useful pay-
load data bit on TxSer pin. Instead it can provide corresponding OH data bit on
TxSer input. However, in that case the user has to program a register bit to config-
ure XRT72L71 to accept the OH data from the TxSer input. Otherwise, the OH
data will be geaerated internally or be taken from the TxOH pin if TxOHIns is
“High”. This pin is pulsed "High" for one bit period prior to all DS3 OH bit positions.
ATM UNI Mode:
In ATM UNI mode of operation, this pin functions as Transmit PLCP Frame signal
which pulses "High" once for each outbound PLCP frame, when the last nibble is
being routed.
