INPUT - TTL: 10-bit Transmit bus for Channel 0. Parallel data on this bus is
latched on the rising edge of REF. TX0-0 is transmitted first.

INPUT - TTL: 10-bit Transmit bus for Channel 1. Parallel data on this bus is
latched on the rising edge of REF. TX1-0 is transmitted first.

N16
INPUT - TTL: 10-bit Transmit bus for Channel 3. Parallel data on this bus is
latched on the rising edge of REF. TX3-0 is transmitted first.
INPUT - TTL: TTL Reference clock. This rising edge of RFC1 provides the
reference clock, at 1/10th of the baud rate to the Clock Multiplying PLL. The
rising edge of RFC1 will latch TXi(0:9) on all four channels

OUTPUT - Differential PECL (AC Coupling recommended)
These pins output the serialized transmit data for Channels 0-3 when LOOP is
LOW. When LOOP is HIGH, SOi+ is HIGH and SOi- is LOW.
