43+1) for ATM over DS3/E3
Distributed Sample Scrambler (DSS) for clear-channel ATM (cell-based physical layer)
HEC error detection and correction; HEC discard
Filtering of idle, unassigned and/or invalid cells (provisionable)
Header pattern comparison vs. 32-bit header pattern and mask registers; counting of matching or non-
matching cells; discard of matching or non-matching cells
Four-cell Receive FIFO
Controls include enables/disables/settings for: cell processing, coset polynomial addition, error correction,
erred cell extraction, cell descrambling, idle/unassigned/invalid cell filtering, header pattern match
counting/discarding, LCD integration time
Status fields include: out of cell delineation (OCD), loss of cell delineation (LCD) and receipt of idle,
unassigned, invalid, erred, corrected or header-pattern-match cells
