FUNCTION
DS3/E3 OVERHEAD INTERFACE
TOHn
I
Transmit Overhead / Line OH Mask Input
TOHn: When the port framer is configured for one of the DS3 or E3 framing modes,
this signal will be used to over-write the DS3 or E3 framing overhead bits when
TOHENn is active. In T3 mode, the X-bits, P-bits, M-bits, F-bits, and C-bits are input.
In G.751 E3 mode, all of the FAS, RAI, and National Use bits are input. In G.832 E3
mode, all of the FA1, FA2, EM, TR, MA, NR, and GC bytes are input. The TOHSOFn
signal marks the start of the framing bit sequence. This signal is sampled at the same
time as the TOHCLKn signal transitions high to low.
This signal can be inverted.
TOHENn
I
Transmit Overhead Enable / Start Of Frame Input
TOHENn: When the port framer is configured for one of the DS3 or E3 framing
modes, this signal will be used the determine which DS3 or E3 framing overhead bits
to over-write with the signal on the TOHn pins. The TOHSOFn signal marks the start
of the framing bit sequence. This signal is sampled at the same time as the TOHCLKn
signal transitions high to low.
This signal can be inverted.
TOHCLKn
O
Transmit Overhead Clock
TOHCLKn: When the port framer is configured for one of the DS3 or E3 framing
modes, this clock is used for the transmit overhead port signals TOHn, TOHENn and
TOHSOFn. The TOHSOFn output signal is updated and the TOHn and TOHENn
input signals are sampled at the same time this clock signal transitions from high to
low. The external logic is expected to sample TOHSOFn signal and update the TOHn
and TOHENn signals on the rising edge of this clock signal. This clock is a low
frequency clock.
This signal can be inverted.
TOHSOFn
O
Transmit Overhead Start Of Frame
TOHSOFn: When the port framer is configured for one of the DS3 or E3 framing
modes, this signal is used to mark the start of a DS3 or E3 overhead sequence on the
TOHn pins. In T3 mode, the first X-bit is marked. In G.751 E3 mode, the first bit of the
FAS word is marked. In G.832 E3 mode, the first bit of the FA1 byte is marked. The
sequence starts on the same high to low transition of the TOHCLKn clock that this
signal is high. This signal is updated at the same time as the TOHCLKn signal
transitions high to low.
This signal can be inverted.
ROHn
O
Receive Overhead
ROHn: When the port framer is configured for one of the DS3 or E3 framing modes,
this signal outputs the value of the receive overhead bits. The ROHSOFn signal
marks the start of the framing bit sequence. In T3 mode, the X-bits, P-bits, M-bits, F-
bits, and C-bits are output (Note: In M23 mode, the C-bits are extracted even though
they are marked as data at the payload interface). In G.751 E3 mode, all of the FAS,
RAI, and National Use bits are output. In G.832 E3 mode, all of the FA1, FA2, EM,
TR, MA, NR, and GC bytes are output.
This signal is updated at the same time as the ROHCLKn signal transitions high to
low.
This signal can be inverted.
ROHCLKn
O
Receive Overhead Clock
ROHCLKn: When the port framer is configured for one of the DS3 or E3 framing
modes, this clock is used for the receive overhead port signals ROHn and ROHSOFn.
The ROHSOFn and ROHn output signals are updated at the same time this clock
signal transitions from high to low. The external logic is expected to sample
ROHSOFn and ROHn signal on the rising edge of this clock signal. This clock is a low
frequency clock.
This signal can be inverted.
