The SPLT block generates a stuff length pattern of 18, 19, or 20 octets determined by the phase
alignment of the start of the G.751 E3 frame and the start of the E3 PLCP frame. The REF8KI
input is provisioned to loop time the PLCP transmit frame to an externally applied 8 kHz
reference.
The Zn, growth octets are set to 00H. The Zn octets may be inserted from an external device via
the path overhead stream input, TPOH.
10.19 TXCP-50 Transmit Cell Processor
The Transmit Cell Processor (TXCP-50) Block integrates circuitry to support ATM cell payload
scrambling, header check sequence (HCS) generation, and idle/unassigned cell generation.
The TXCP-50 scrambles the cell payload field using the self synchronizing scrambler with
43
polynomial x + 1. The header portion of the cells may also be scrambled. Note: Cell payload
scrambling may be disabled in the S/UNI-JET, although it is required by ITU-T Recommendation
I.432. The ATM Forum DS3 UNI specification requires that cell payloads are scrambled for the
DS3 physical layer interface. However, to ensure backwards compatibility with older equipment,
the payload scrambling may be disabled.

The HCS is generated using the polynomial, x + x + x + 1. The coset polynomial x + x + x +
1 is added (modulo 2) to the calculated HCS octet as required by the ATM Forum UNI
specification, and ITU-T Recommendation I.432. The resultant octet optionally overwrites the
HCS octet in the transmit cell. When the transmit FIFO is empty, the TXCP-50 inserts
idle/unassigned cells. The idle/unassigned cell header is fully programmable using five internal
registers. Similarly, the 48-octet information field is programmed with an 8-bit repeating pattern
using an internal register.
10.20 TXFF Transmit FIFO
The Transmit FIFO (TXFF) provides FIFO management and the S/UNI-JET transmit cell
interface. The transmit FIFO contains four cells. The FIFO depth may be programmed to four,
three, two, or one cells. The FIFO provides the cell rate decoupling function between the
transmission system physical layer and the ATM layer.
The general management functions of the TXFF include:
•
•
Emptying cells from the transmit FIFO.
Indicating when the transmit FIFO is full.
