Figure 73 is an example of the multi-PHY polling and selection sequence supported by the
S/UNI-JET . "A", "B", "C", and “D” represent any arbitrary address values of PHY devices which
may be occupied by the S/UNI-JET . The ATM Layer device is not restricted in its polling order.
Initially PHY “D” is accepting a cell and the direct TCA for that PHY is shown as DTCA[D]. The
effect of TCALEVEL0 is indicated with a dashed line in the figure. The PHY associated with
address "A" indicates it cannot accept a cell, but PHY "B" indicates it is willing to accept a cell.
As a result, the ATM Layer places address "B" on TADR[2:0] the cycle before TENB is asserted
to select PHY "B" as the next cell destination. In this example, the PHY "C" status is ignored. The
ATM Layer device is not constrained to select the latest PHY polled. As soon as the cell transfer
is started, the polling process may be restarted. The data on TDATI (W1, W2, ..) may be 8-bit or
16-bits wide, depending on the setting of the ATM8 input.
During multi-PHY operation, several PHY layer devices share the TCA signal. As a result, this
signals must be tri-stated in all PHY devices which have not been selected for polling by the ATM
Layer. The value of TADR[2:0] selects the PHY being polled for the TCA signal, and all devices
not corresponding to this address must tri-state its TCA output. This multi-PHY operation is
directly supported by the S/UNI-JET .
