2.2 The ATM Transmission Convergence
with the IMA transmit protocol) for transmission over
the PCM Interface.
The Transmit Convergence (TC) function is common
for both the IMA and UNI modes. It integrates the
circuitry to support ATM cell payload scrambling,
HEC generation and the generation of Idle/Filler/ICP
cells for use with the T1 and/or E1 trunks. Each of
the eight MT90220 ATM TC circuits can use the
In cases where the TC block requests a cell to be
transferred to any of the PCM Interfaces and the TX
UTOPIA FIFO has no cell ready for transmission,
then the TC block will automatically send an IDLE
cell (in UNI) or a Filler cell (in IMA mode) to the line.
The default values for the Idle and the Filler cells
comply with the ATM IMA Specification and are pre-
loaded in the MT90220 following a reset. The TX
Cell RAM Control register can be used to re-
initialize the TX Cell RAM.

The internal TX Cell Ram can hold up to 64 cells.
The following six cells are reserved for MT90220
operation:
The resulting calculation is then over-written on the
