Table 7 - MT9079 Interrupt Vectors (IV7-IV0)
Interrupts
The transmission of RAI and signalling multiframe
alarms can be made to function automatically from
control bits ARAI and AUTY (page 1, address 11H).
When ARAI = 0 and basic frame synchronization is
lost (SYNC = 1), the MT9079 will automatically
transmit the RAI alarm signal to the far end of the link.
The transmission of this alarm signal will cease when
basic frame alignment is acquired.
The MT9079 has an extensive suite of maskable
interrupts, which are divided into eight categories
based on the type of event that caused the interrupt.
Each interrupt category has an associated interrupt
vector described in Table 7. Therefore, when
unmasked interrupts occur, IRQ will go low and one or
more bits of the interrupt vector (page 4, address 12H)
will go high. In processor and controller modes after
When AUTY = 0 and signalling multiframe alignment is
not acquired (MFSYNC = 1), the MT9079 will
automatically transmit the multiframe alarm (Y-bit)
