TTL
Control/Data. If KCHAR=C/D=LOW, then T(7:0) is used to generate
transmit data. If KCHAR=C/D=HIGH then special Kxx.x characters are
transmitted based upon the value of T(7:0). If KCHAR=LOW and C/D
=HIGH, IDLE characters are transmitted.

TTL
When ENDEC=LOW, this is equivalent to data bit T8.
Word Sync ENable. Asserted HIGH for one cycle to initiate transmission of
the Word Sync Sequence as defined in Figure 5 and related text.
When ENDEC=LOW, this is equivalent to data bit T9.

TTL
Transmit Byte Clock. Optional input data timing reference for T(7:0),
WSEN and C/D.
Special Kxx.x CHARacter Enable. When C/D is HIGH, KCHAR controls
data sent to the transmitter. When LOW, IDLE characters are sent. When
HIGH, Kxx.x special characters are sent as encoded on T(7:0). This is
intended to be a static input and cannot be changed on a cycle-by-cycle
basis.

TTL
When ENDEC=LOW, this is equivalent to ENCDET. A HIGH enables
comma detection and alignment. A LOW disables both.

TMODE0
TMODE1
TMODE2
Transmit Input Data Timing MODE. Determines the timing reference for
T(7:0), WSEN and C/D as defined in Table 1.
I
TTL
TTL
Transmit Buffer ERRor. When HIGH indicates that the elastic limit of the
transmit input skew buffer was exceeded, output timing is same as R(7:0). A
LOW indicates correct reception of the 256-byte incrementing pattern in
BIST mode.

RTX+
RTX-
Redundant Differential Serial TX output. These pins output serialized
transmit data when RTXEN is HIGH. AC-coupling is recommended.
Primary TX Output ENable. When HIGH, PTX+/- is active, when LOW
PTX+/- is powered down and the outputs are un-driven.

IDLE Detect. When HIGH, an IDLE character has been detected by the
decoder and is on R(7:0)
When ENDEC=LOW, this is equivalent to COMDET.

Kxx.x CHaracter Detect. When HIGH, a special Kxx.x character has been
detected by the decoder and is on R(7:0).
When ENDEC=LOW, this is equivalent to data bit R8.
