Control/Data for Channel n. If KCHAR = C/Dn = LOW, then Tn[7:0] is used to
generate transmit data. If KCHAR = C/Dn = HIGH then special Kxx.x
characters are transmitted based upon the value of Tn[7:0]. If KCHAR = LOW
and C/Dn = HIGH, IDLE characters are transmitted.
When ENDEC = LOW, this is equivalent to data bit Tn8.

TTL
Word Sync Enable for Channel n. Asserted HIGH for one cycle to initiate
transmission of the Word Sync Sequence as defined in Figure 5 on page 7
and related text.
When ENDEC = LOW, this is equivalent to data bit Tn9.

Transmit Byte Clock for Channel n. Optional input data timing reference for
Tn[7:0], WSENn and C/Dn.
12W
KCHAR
Special Kxx.x Character Enable. When C/Dn 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 Tn[7:0]. This is intended to
be a static input and cannot be changed on a cycle-by-cycle basis.
When ENDEC = LOW, this is equivalent to ENCDET.

Transmit Input Data Timing Mode. Determines the timing reference for Tn[7:0],
WSENn and C/Dn on all channels as defined in Table 2 on page 4.

O
Transmit Buffer Error for Channel n. When HIGH indicates that the elastic limit
of the transmit input skew buffer was exceeded, output timing is same as
Rn[7:0]. A LOW indicates correct reception of the 256-byte incrementing
pattern in BIST mode.

PECL
PECL
Primary Differential Serial TX Outputs for Channel n. These pins output
serialized transmit data when PTXENn is HIGH. When PTXENn is LOW, these
output buffers are powered down, the pin is undriven and both pins (+/-) float to
an unknown HIGH state (~ 1.8V). AC-coupling is recommended. External
pull-down resistors are not necessary.

Redundant Differential Serial TX Outputs for Channel n. These pins output
serialized transmit data when RTXENn is HIGH. When RTXENn is LOW, these
output buffers are powered down, the pin is undriven and both pins (+/-) float to
an unknown HIGH state (~ 1.8V). AC-coupling is recommended. External
pull-down resistors are not necessary.
