Transmit Nibble Clock Output pin/Transmit GFC Byte - MSB Indicator Out-
put/Send FCS Value Request Input:
The function of this input/output pin depends upon whether the XRT79L71 is
configured to operate in the Clear-Channel Framer Mode, the High-Speed HDLC
Controller Mode or in the ATM Mode.
Clear-Channel Framer Mode - TxNibClk:
When operating in the Nibble-Parallel Mode the XRT79L71 will derive this clock
signal from either the TxInClk or the RxLineClk signal depending upon whether
the chip is operating in the Local-Timing or Loop-Timing Mode.
The user is advised to configure the Terminal Equipment to output the outbound
payload data to the XRT79L71 onto the TxNib_[3:0] input pins, upon the rising
edge of this clock signal. The Transmit Payload Data Input Interface block will
sample the data, residing on the TxNib_[3:0] line, upon the falling edge this clock
signal.

1.
For DS3 applications, the XRT79L71 will output 1176 clock pulses to
the local terminal equipment for each outbound DS3 frame.
2.
For E3, ITU-T G.832 applications, the XRT79L71 will output 1074 clock
pulses to the local terminal equipment for each outbound E3 frame.
3.
For E3, ITU-T G.751 applications, the XRT79L71 will output 384 clock
pulses to the local terminal equipment for each outbound E3 frame.
ATM Mode - TxGFCMSB:
This signal, along with TxGFC and TxGFCClk combine to function as the Trans-
mit GFC Nibble Field serial input port. This output signal will pulse "High" when
the MSB (most significant bit) of the GFC nibble for a given outbound cell is
expected at the TxGFC input pin.
High-Speed HDLC Controller Mode - SendFCS:
The local terminal equipment is expected to control both this input pin, along with
the SendMSG input pin, during the construction and transmission of each out-
bound HDLC frame.
This input pin is used to command the Transmit HDLC Controller block to com-
pute and insert the computed FCS (Frame-Check Sequence) value into the
back-end of the outbound HDLC frame, as a trailer.
If the user has configured the Transmit HDLC Controller block to compute and
insert a CRC-16 value into the outbound HDLC frame, then the local terminal
equipment is expected to hold this input pin "High" for two periods of TxHDL-
CClk.Conversely, if the user has configured the Transmit HDLC Controller block
to compute and insert a CRC-32 value into the outbound HDLC frame, then the
local terminal equipment is expected to hold this input pin "High" for four (4) peri-
ods of TxHDLCClk.

This input/output pin is inactive if the XRT79L71 has been configured to
operate in the PPP Mode.
2.
This input/output pin is inactive if the XRT79L71 has been configured to
operate in the Clear-Channel Framer/Serial mode.
