ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
The CN8223 ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Level 1 interface provides a
single-access ATM service termination for User-to-Network (UNI) and
Network-to-Network Interfacing (NNI) in conformance with ATM Forum UNI and NNI
Specification 94/0317; Bellcore Specifications TR-TSV-000772, TR-TSV-000773,
TR-NWT-000253, and T1S1/92-185; ITU Recommendations I.432, G.707, G.751,
G.832, and Q.921; and ETSI prETS 300 213 and 300 214. Both Customer Premise
Equipment (CPE) and switching system interface functions are provided. The CN8223
provides DS1, E1, DS3, E3, E4, STS-1, and STS-3c (and STM-1) ATM cell alignment
functions. The system interface is via a parallel FIFO port or UTOPIA interface. In
addition, the CN8223 terminates the operations and maintenance flows F1, F2, and F3.
The CN8223 provides four FIFO port interfaces and one UTOPIA interface. Each
receiver port can be programmed with a particular Virtual Channel Identifier/Virtual
Path Identifier (VCI/VPI) address for message routing. VCI/VPI pages can also be
selected via masking registers.

The CN8223 is based on the Bt8222
device. The only change from the
Bt8222 to the CN8223 is the TTL
I/O pad ring. The I/O structure
allows the CN8223 to function in a
3.3/5 V environment. No new
features, errata fixes, etc., have
been added to the CN8223 other
than TTL threshold inputs.

1.0 Product Description
The CN8223 ATM Physical Interface (PHY) device is a transmitter/receiver
which converts several types of frames to ATM cells and vice versa. The device
contains framers for DS3, E3, E4, STS-1, STS-3c, and STM-1. This chapter
provides an overview of the CN8223, describing its primary features and
applications. A block diagram and a logic diagram are included.
1.1 Block Diagram
Figure 1-1 is a detailed block diagram of the CN8223. The host system transmits
octet-wide data to the CN8223 via the UTOPIA or FIFO ports. This data is
assembled into ATM cells by the PHY and formatted for serial line transmission
by the CN8223’s line framers. In the receive direction, serial network data is
framed into octets by either internal or external line framers and passed to the
ATM cell processing block. Octet data is then aligned into ATM cells, checked,
and sent through the UTOPIA or FIFO ports to the host system.
The line framer block connects to external interfaces for line reception and
transmission. The line framer has interfaces for seven data rates and provisions
for external serial or parallel framers. Also included are overhead interfaces, data
links, and event counters.
The HEC/PLCP ATM cell alignment block accepts octet data from the line
framer block. It generates cells for transmission and validates received cells.
Included are HEC/PLCP generators and detectors, data scramblers, and counters.
The FIFO Port/UTOPIA interface communicates with the next layer of ATM
processing, usually residing in the host system. It directs received cell traffic to
four ports, controls transmit priority and rate, and has counters for events and
errors.

1.2 CN8223 Features
ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
1.2.3 Programmable Parity Protection
Programmable parity protection is available on the system interface. Read and
write strobes allow addressing of up to four distinct data sources and output to
four distinct destinations. Each transmitter port has a programmable priority
level. If the priority levels are the same, the ports are addressed in sequence. Each
receiver port can be programmed with a particular VCI/VPI address for message
routing. Also, VCI/VPI pages can be selected via masking registers. Cells can be
routed to multiple ports for broadcast capability and enhanced test, diagnostic,
and maintenance functions. Also, the cell validation function can be programmed
to correct single-bit header errors.
1.2.4 Test and Diagnostic Functions
The CN8223 provides access to the ATM protocol at all levels for test and
diagnostic functions. Octet-wide simultaneous interfaces are provided for
transmit and receive access to PLCP slots (57 octets), ATM cells (53 octets), cells
without HEC (52 octets), or cell payload only (48 octets). This interface allows
the implementation of test and diagnostic systems. Also, per-cell status can be
optionally provided in place of the HEC octet on Port 3 in a special output mode.
1.2.5 Microprocessor Interface Features
All control and status functions are provided via a direct microprocessor
interface. Also, the microprocessor can control the external framers as required.
The microprocessor interface can be used with either an 8- or 16-bit data bus with
separate address and data signals. Interrupt outputs are provided for status
information on cell and physical layer performance and for data link operations.
The interface is a clocked 8- or 16-bit data interface with an address strobe and a
single read/write control.

1.3 Line Framing Functions
The CN8223 provides framers for DS3, E3 (both G.751 and G.832), E4 (G.832),
STS-1, and STS-3c/STM-1 formatted serial streams. The line receive circuitry
recovers the frame location from the serial stream and provides cell octets to the
physical layer block for cell delineation. The transmit circuitry receives cell octets
from the cell generation or physical layer blocks and adds line framing overhead
information as required. The LIU receive interface detects both Loss-of-Signal
(LOS) and Line Code Violations (LCVs). The active edge of the transmit output
clock is selectable. Figure 1-2 illustrates the line framer functions of the CN8223.

1.3 Line Framing Functions
ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
1.3.1 Interfaces
The CN8223 has a serial external framer interface for T1, E1, T3, and E3. The
internal B3ZS/HDB3 encoder/decoder can be bypassed in any mode for direct
input/output of NRZ data and clock.
The line signal interface consists of clock, serial or octet data, and sync
signals from either the internal or external framers. Both framed and unframed
modes are usable at DS1, E1, DS3, and E3 line rates. In framed mode, the
frame/overhead bit positions of the transmission format are located through a
synchronization signal and are generated as idle bits or ignored. In unframed
mode, a serial signal that contains no line overhead bit positions is expected.
The transmitter interface has a clock signal input and provides a serial or octet
data output. The receive signal interface consists of input clock and serial or octet
data from the transmission physical layer framer. Also, synchronization inputs are
provided for use with external framers. The transmit and receive sections of the
interface are clocked independently.
A parallel line interface is available for external framers and other devices. It
consists of a receive clock and octet and a transmit clock and octet. This interface
permits clocking externally recovered octets directly to and from the cell
delineation function block. Use of the parallel interface assumes all line overhead
information has been removed externally and proper octet alignment has been
recovered.
1.3.2 Line Loopback
A line loopback connects the receive clock and data inputs directly to the transmit
clock and data outputs. LCVs are preserved in this loopback. Raw yellow alarm
indications and Out-of-Frame (OOF) events are integrated to provide yellow
alarm and Loss-of-Frame (LOF) indications, respectively. PHY error counters can
be programmed to accumulate errors over one-second periods and latch the
results. Line framing functions are described in detail in Section 2.2.

1.3 Line Framing Functions
1.3.3 BIP-8 Code
The octet Bit Interleaved Parity (BIP-8) code is checked and error status
generated for the Far End Block Error (FEBE) function and yellow alarm. BIP-8
code violations and framing-octet errors are counted. OOF events are detected
and counted. The transmitter output can be looped to the receiver input for test
purposes and to perform startup self-tests and diagnostics.
In all PHY modes, an OOF input from the internal or external framer can be
used to indicate that the received signal is not being received correctly. This input
inhibits cell validation functions and initiates cycle stuffing, when required.
1.3.4 Alarm Detection/Generation
All line alarm and error conditions including BIP codes are monitored and
reported in status registers and event counters. Alarms and errors can be
configured to generate an interrupt to the microprocessor. The CN8223 can
transmit alarm and error conditions under microprocessor control.

1.4 ATM Cell Processing Functions
1.4.1 Cell Generation Functions
The CN8223 ATM cell processing block provides flexible control for cell
generation. Cell generation is the formatting of 48-octet payload segments into
53-octet ATM cells, and the generation of appropriate header octets, HEC, and
payload Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) calculations as required by the AAL
formats. The CN8223 provides modes that perform this cell generation function,
along with modes that allow insertion of any or all of the various header fields
from either the FIFO interface or from microprocessor control registers. Four cell
generation modes are available in the CN8223. Cell generation functions are
described in detail in Section 2.6.
1.4.2 Tx Rate Control
Two Rate Control registers [0x08, 0x09] are provided for each of the four ports to
allow programmable rate shaping of cell transmission. The ratio of active to idle
cells is programmable with 0.4 % granularity. Status counts of non-idle cells
transmitted are maintained for each of the four sources.
1.4.3 Cell Validation Functions
Cell validation refers to the checking of cells coming in from the PHY block for
proper format. The CN8223 provides modes that deliver 48-, 52-, or 53-octet
cells, or 57-octet PLCP slots to the FIFO output ports. The validation process is
described in detail in Section 2.6.
Protocol verification includes HEC validation with ATM or SMDS/802.6
coverage, validation of payload length per segment type, and correct payload
CRC value. Status reporting of validation steps is via error counters and status
register indications. Status bits can be programmed to generate interrupts to the
microprocessor. Each validation step can be individually disabled.

1.5.1 UTOPIA Mode
1.5.2 FIFO Ports
UTOPIA mode implements a single 25 MHz, 8-bit plus parity bidirectional
interface with four cells of internal FIFO in both directions. Parity is optional.
When the UTOPIA interface mode is used, only 53-octet output is available.
Cells are routed to one of four output ports if a match to that port’s programmable
header value is made. This can be used to route received VCI/VPIs to a chosen
port. Four modes are available for FIFO port cell output:
•
•
•
A test mode writes the entire 57-octet PLCP slot to the FIFO interface.
A 53-octet mode writes the 53-octet ATM cell to the FIFO interface.
A 52-octet mode writes the ATM cell without the HEC octet to the FIFO
interface.
•
A final mode delivers 48-octet cell payloads to the FIFO interface.

1.5 FIFO Port/UTOPIA Interface
1.5.3 ATM Interface
Each cell is sent to a buffer to allow for header processing before being output to
the ATM interface. The buffer length is 10 octets for G.751 PLCP modes, and 6
octets for HEC alignment. A “cell-valid” output is provided to indicate that none
of the enabled error checks detected an error. The UTOPIA internal FIFO or
external circuitry is notified to discard the cell when the valid indication goes
inactive. Idle cells are automatically deleted from the ATM layer output. Parity
and control/delineation signals are provided with each octet at the port interface.
The microprocessor receives status and error counts as cell validation proceeds.
All event and error counters can be programmed to cause an interrupt on
overflow. Reading the interrupt source register allows the microprocessor to
identify overflows and thus update internal counts. All counters can be read by the
microprocessor and are cleared when read.

Table 1-1 describes the revision history of the Bt8222 device. The Bt8222 is the
predecessor of the CN8223.
Table 1-1. CN8223 Version Descriptions
Version
Description
Baseline version (derived from the Bt8220/1).
Bt8222KPF
Bt8222KPFB
All Bt8222KPF functionality plus:
The version number was changed to 62H in the lower byte of the RX_FEAC_VER register.
A software reset was added to CONFIG_5, bit 7. When active high, this is a software equivalent
to pin 118.
Additional overhead insertion capability for STS-3c, STM-1: G1, K2 #1, and Z2 #3 can be
inserted from the external overhead bus. It is controlled by CONFIG_3, bit 6. This is used for
automatic protection switching.
CONFIG_5 has a new receive status indication. CONFIG_5, bit 9 now shows octet G1, bit 5 of
received frames.
Bt8222KPFC
All Bt8222KPFB functionality plus:
The version number was changed to 63H in the lower byte of the RX_FEAC_VER register.
The STM-1 C2 transmit octet = 0x13. The C2 receive octet is checked for 0x01 or 0x13.
Bt8222KPFD or
Bt8222EPFD
All Bt8222KPFC functionality plus:
The version number was changed to 64H in the lower byte of the RX_FEAC_VER register.
TAXI command strobe timing eliminates the need for an external buffer.
The G1 octet complies with T1.105. The RDI alarm includes bit 7.
The K1/K2 registers were added to provide further support for SONET APS.
HEC integration was removed.
The device complies with a footnote in the UTOPIA specification that allows RxENB~ to be
permanently asserted by the ATM layer.
Disable HEC Check (bit 9 in CELL_VAL) was changed when in UTOPIA mode to be consistent
with FIFO mode.
Payload checking will comply with the ATM standards (lengths 8-44).
When switching to PLCP mode dynamically, the device will go to an OOF state.
FIFO read strobes are forced inactive (high) during hardware or software resets.
Bt8222EPFE
Bt8222EPFF
All Bt8222KPFD/EPFD functionality plus:
RMRKR[1] was changed to be an 8 kHz output synchronized to the received PLCP frame.
All Bt8222EPFE functionality plus:
Line Loopback (bit 9) in the CONFIG_3 register (0x02) is cleared upon assertion of RESET (pin
118).
Receive STS/SDH pointer processing complies with standards.

1.0 Product Description
ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
1.9 Logic Diagram
1.9 Logic Diagram
The CN8223 is a single CMOS integrated circuit, packaged in a 160-pin Plastic
Quad Flat Pack (PQFP). Figure 1-11 illustrates a CN8223 logic diagram. The line
framer/PHY interface consists of 33 pins. The framing overhead interface
consists of 22 pins. The FIFO interface consists of 18 data pins, 8 control inputs,
and 17 control outputs. The microprocessor interface consists of 8 clock and
control inputs, a 16-bit data bus, a 7-bit address bus, and 2 interrupt outputs.
Additionally, there are 11 power and 12 ground pins. Detailed pin descriptions are
given in Table 1-2.
Clock and control inputs consist of an external 8 kHz reference for the PLCP
at E3 and DS3 rates, a one-second input to synchronize status collection timing in
multiple-port applications, a “hold receiver” input that can externally disable cell
validation when an external framer loses frame or signal, three test inputs, and a
reset input. A one-second clock output is provided to allow synchronization of
status collection for multiple CN8223s or for CN8223s and framers. When a
single CN8223 is used, ONESECO should be connected to ONESECI. This
timing output is derived from the external 8 kHz reference clock input on 8KCKI.
An 8 kHz clock from the line receiver is available on RMRKR[1], pin 8.
NOTE: RMRKR[1] is not available in DS-3 direct cell mapping mode.

1.10 Pin Definitions
Figure 1-12 is a pinout diagram for the 160-pin ATM Transmitter/Receiver.
Table 1-2 lists pin names and numbers. Generally, all unused input pins should be
connected to ground and unused outputs should be left unconnected. However, if
pins TXOVH_7 to TXOVH_0 or RXIN_8 to RXIN_0 are not used, they must be
tied to a logic low level. Some of the RXIN pins may be used depending on the
configuration. If PECL inputs, RXCKI_HS , RXIN_HS , or TXCKI_HS , are
not used, they must be tied to +5 V power.

2.0 Functional Description
CN8223
2.1 Microprocessor Interface
ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
2.1 Microprocessor Interface
All control and status functions are provided via a direct microprocessor
interface. Address maps for the microprocessor are given in Chapter 3.0. There
are two types of address spaces:
•
•
Read and write control registers
Read-only status registers and counters
Write operations are fully decoded. Write operations to undefined addresses have
no effect. Read operations from undefined addresses have undefined results.
The microprocessor interface to the CN8223 consists of 31 pins (detailed in
Table 1-2). The CN8223 connects to the microprocessor as if it were clocked
RAM memory. For timing diagram details, see Section 4.3.1.
2.1.1 8/16-Bit Interface
The CN8223 supports an 8-bit or 16-bit microprocessor interface. To select the
8-bit data bus, connect the SEL8BIT pin to VCC. This configures all control and
status registers in the part for byte-wide operation. Byte addressing is
accomplished by using the D15 pin as the byte high/low select. When D15 is low,
the low byte of the addressed register is read or written, and the high byte is
unaffected. When D15 is high, the high byte of the addressed register is read or
written, and the low byte is unaffected. When reading register locations, the high
byte of the addressed location is internally latched so that it can be read in the
next operation. Therefore, the low byte of a word address should be read first,
then the high byte, to prevent loss of data. When SEL8BIT is low, the interface is
configured with a 16-bit bus.
2.1.2 Interrupts
The CN8223 is designed for an interrupt-driven environment. After initialization,
status events, error events, and counter overflows generate interrupts that run
appropriate interrupt service routines.
Two active-low interrupt pins are provided for the microprocessor interface.
STAT_INT provides interrupts for all status and error conditions. DL_INT
provides interrupts for the Far End Alarm Control (FEAC) channel contained in
the internal DS3 framer and for the internal High-Level Data Link Control
(HDLC) formatter used for various data links. Both interrupt pins are configured
as open drain to facilitate external wire-OR connections.
Each interrupt source has a bit in an interrupt enable register and in an
interrupt status register. This allows the microprocessor to control which
conditions cause interrupts and to determine the source of the interrupt. The
status registers are described in Chapter 3.0.
NOTE: Receiver interrupts will not function if the receive clock is not active. For
example, if losing the signal to the line interface causes the receive clock
recovery circuit to be disabled, the CN8223 will not respond to an LOS
interrupt.

2.2 Line Framers
This section describes the operation and control of the internal framers for DS3,
E3 (both G.751 and G.832), E4 (G.832), STS-1, and STS-3c/STM-1 formatted
serial streams. The transmit and receive serial interfaces can operate at up to
155 MHz. Detailed timing information for the line interface is given in
Chapter 4.0.
The framer receive circuitry recovers the frame location from the serial stream
and provides cell octets to the HEC/PLCP cell alignment block. All alarm and
error conditions are monitored and reported in status registers and event counters.
The framer transmit circuitry receives cell octets from the HEC/PLCP cell
alignment block and adds line framing overhead information. All alarm and error
conditions can be generated from control registers.
External interfaces to this block and the interface to the rest of the CN8223 are
illustrated in Table 1-2. The CN8223 line mode is set for both transmit and
receive in the CONFIG_1 register [0x00]. Table 2-1 lists the valid line modes set
by CONFIG_1.

2.2.1 Internally Framed Transmit Line Interface
In internal framer mode, the transmitter provides positive and negative pulse
indications and a transmit output clock to an external Line Interface Unit (LIU)
(or output clock and NRZ serial data if internal B3ZS/HDB3 encoding is
disabled) in response to a transmit input clock.
Table 2-2 gives the internal framing mode interface connections. The
functional timing for the transmit line interface is similar for all internal framer
modes. Figure 2-3 illustrates the interface timing when the internal B3ZS/HDB3
encoder is enabled. The TCLKO phase shown can be inverted with Invert TX
Clock Output [bit 7] of the CONFIG_3 register [0x02].

For STS-3c, STM-1, or E4, the high-speed PECL interface is used. This mode is
used in any case where an external LIU/decoder is used (such as E4 and
STS-3c/STM-1 CMI decoding). If the mode is set to E4 or STS-3c/STM-1 in
CONFIG_1, then the outputs are taken from the “HS ” versions of the output
pins. The TCLKO (and TCLKO_HS ) phase shown can be inverted with the
Invert TX Clock Output control bit.

2.2.2 Internally Framed Receive Line Interface
In internal framer mode, the receiver inputs are positive and negative pulse
indications, and the receive clock (and NRZ serial data if internal B3ZS/HDB3
decoding is disabled) comes from an external LIU.
Table 2-4 lists the interface connections for all of the internal framing modes.
The functional timing for the receive line interface is similar for all internal
framer modes. Figure 2-5 illustrates the interface timing when the internal
B3ZS/HDB3 decoder is enabled. The RXPOS and RXNEG inputs are sampled on
the falling edge of the RXCKI clock input. Data inputs can be sampled on the
rising edge of the input clock by setting Invert RX Clock Sampling [bit 8] in
register CONFIG_3 [0x02].

2.2.2.2 Receiver
Framing Operation
Five modes are provided for receiver framing operation: DS3, G.751 E3, G.832
E3/E4, STS-1, and STS-3c/STM-1.
In DS3 mode, a parallel-search framing circuit recovers the subframe and
M-frame alignments in the DS3 signal. Framing is initiated by an out-of-frame
condition as determined by the receiver frame bit-check circuitry. When 3 out of
16 consecutive subframing (F) bits are in error or when 2 out of 3 consecutive
M-frames have M bit errors, an out-of-frame condition is declared.
In G.751 E3 mode, a serial search for the 10-bit FAS pattern (1111 0100 00) is
conducted. When three consecutive correct patterns are found, the receiver is
declared to be in frame. An out-of-frame condition is declared when four
consecutive incorrect FAS patterns are detected.
In G.804 E3/E4 and STS-1/STS-3c/STM-1 modes, an octet alignment by the
serial-to-parallel conversion circuit is found in conjunction with an octet search
for the SONET A1/A2 framing pattern (which is the same pattern as, but not
related to, the PLCP A1/A2 bytes). When two consecutive good patterns are
found, the receiver is declared to be in frame. An out-of-frame (OOF) condition is
declared when four consecutive incorrect A1/A2 patterns are detected.
In STS-3c/STM-1 mode, an octet alignment by the serial-to-parallel
conversion circuit is found in conjunction with an octet search for the third A1
and the first A2 octets.
In STS-1 Mode, if STS-1 Stuffing Option [bit 15] in CONFIG_1 [0x00] is set,
then columns 30 and 59 in the payload envelope are stuff columns, and these
octets will not be interpreted as ATM cell octets. If this bit is not set, then all 86
columns of the SPE will be interpreted as ATM cell octets.

2.2.3 Externally Framed Transmit Line Interface
In external framer mode, the transmitter inputs are a clock and a synchronization
signal that indicate the position of framing bits in the DS1, E1, DS3, or E3
framing signal. The transmit data stream output is a single serial output. The
synchronization signal period can be any multiple of the frame period.
Functional timing for the transmit line interface is similar for all external
framer modes. These interfaces are compatible with Conexant framers Bt8360 for
DS1, Bt8510 for E1, Bt8370 for E1/T1, and Bt8330B for DS3 and E3. Interface
connections for these serial, external framing modes are given in Table 2-6.

superframe synchronization signal with a period of 3 ms. TXDATO is the output
signal; it transitions in response to the rising edge of TXCKI and can be sampled
on the following falling edge. The framing bit position content in the output

consist of the receive clock (RXCKI), the receive sync input (RXSYI), and the
receive data input (RXDATI) when the external framer mode is selected.

ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
The input timings are all similar: RXDATI and RXSYI are sampled on the
falling edge of the input clock; and the low-to-high transition of the sync signal
occurs during the interval of the frame bit for DS1 and DS3, with the first bit of
time slot 0 for E1, and the first bit of the frame-alignment signal for E3. For
brevity, only the DS1 timing is illustrated (Figure 2-11). The timing on this
interface is similar to the timing on the transmit interface. It is compatible with
Conexant framers. The data and sync inputs can be sampled on the rising edge of
the input clock by setting Invert RX Clock Sampling [bit 8] of CONFIG_3
[0x02].
In all framed, serial line formats, the content of the framing bit positions is
ignored. RXSYI does not need to be present every frame; it can be applied at any
submultiple of the frame rate (e.g., once every ESF superframe for DS1).

2.3 Overhead Generation
The CN8223 automatically receives and generates line overhead. For additional
flexibility, line overhead can be monitored and inserted for STS-3c, STM-1, and
G.832 E3/E4 modes.
2.3.1 Internal DS3 Mode
The transmitter circuitry automatically generates all F and M framing bits. The
transmitter calculates the parity of each M-frame and inserts this data into bits P1
and P2 of the following M-frame. Bits X1 and X2 contain 1s unless Transmit
Alarm Control [bit 6] of CONFIG_2 [0x01] is set. If this bit is set, bits X1 and X2

All framing overhead is generated automatically and all BIP overhead is
calculated and inserted in the proper positions. BIP fields can be errored using the
TXFEAC_ERRPAT register [0x03] and BIP Error Insert [bits 12–10] of
CONFIG_2 [0x01]. Groups of overhead octets can be disabled (set to all 0s) using
Overhead Control [bits 3–0] of CONFIG_2. Internally generated octets are A1,
A2, C1, B1, B3, C2, H1, H2, H3, G1, B2, K2, H4, and M1.
In STS-1 mode, if STS-1 Stuffing Option [bit 15] in CONFIG_1 [0x00] is set,
then columns 30 and 59 in the payload envelope are stuffed with all 0s and are not
available for ATM cell octet transport (resulting in a total of 84 columns available
for transport). If this bit is not set, then all 86 columns of the SPE are available for
ATM cell octets.
The C1 octet can be programmed to be obtained from the TXOVH bus by
setting Enable External Section Trace [bit 1] of CONFIG_4 [0x29]. The C1
values generated are listed in order of precedence in Table 2-11.

2.3.5 Transmit Framing Overhead Interface
An octet interface is available for external insertion of certain framing overhead
in STS-1/STS-3c/STM-1 and G.832 E3/E4 framing modes. The interface consists
of an output clock on TOVH_CLK, an output marker on TMRKR, and an 8-bit
input bus for overhead octets. The timing for this interface is illustrated in
Figure 2-12
.
There is a clock pulse on the TOVH_CLK output for each overhead octet that
appears in the framing format and that is provided on the bus input. The bus input
is sampled on the falling edge of the TOVH_CLK signal. TMRKR is high on a
particular octet in each mode to synchronize external circuitry.
Figure 2-12. Transmit Framing Overhead Interface Timing
TOVH_CLK
TMRKR
TXOVH[7:0]
A1 A2 C1 J1
All overhead octets can be provided by external insertion if Enable External
Overhead [bit 15] in CONFIG_2 [0x01] is set. If this bit is not set, only octets that
are not internally generated are obtained from the external interface.
Section 2.3.1, Section 2.3.2, Section 2.3.3, and Section 2.3.4 describe internally
generated octets.
In STS-1 mode, there are four clock pulses on TOVH_CLK for each row in
the framing format (a total of 36 clock pulses per frame). The Synchronous
Payload Envelope (SPE) starts immediately after the row 1 overhead (the J1 octet
follows the C1 octet). TMRKR is high during row 1 of the framing format (octets
A1, A2, C1, J1). STS-3c/STM-1 mode has the same format except there are 10
clock pulses for each row for a total of 90 clock pulses per frame.
In STS-1/STS-3c/STM-1 modes, the content of octets D1, D2, and D3 is from
the internal HDLC formatter, if enabled. These octets can also be provided via the
TXOVH[7:0] input.
In G.832 E3 mode, there is a total of 7 clock pulses per frame and TMRKR is
high during the FA1 and FA2 octets. In G.832 E4 mode, there is a total of 16 clock
pulses per frame, and TMRKR is again high during the FA1 and FA2 octets. The
TXOVH[7:0] inputs should be connected to ground if all 0s octet data is desired
for octets that are not internally generated.

2.3.6 Receive Framing Overhead Interface
An octet interface is available for external observation of all framing overhead in
STS-1/STS-3c/STM-1 and G.832 E3/E4 framing modes. The interface consists of
two output clocks on ROVH_CLK[1,0], two output markers on RMRKR[1,0],
and an 8-bit output bus RXOVH[7:0]. Timing for this interface is illustrated in
Figure 2-13. There is a clock pulse on the ROVH_CLK[1] output for each section
and line overhead octet in STS-1 and STS-3c/STM-1 modes and for all overhead
octets in G.832 E3 and E4 modes. There is a clock pulse on the ROVH_CLK[0]
output for each path overhead octet in STS-1 and STS-3c/STM-1 modes.
The RMRKR[1,0] outputs and the bus output are set up prior to the rising
edge of the clocks and can be sampled externally on the rising edge of
ROVH_CLK[1,0]. The RMRKR[1] output is high during row 1 overhead in all
modes (A1, A2, and C1 in STS-1/STS-3c/STM-1 modes and FA1, FA2 in G.832
E3/E4 modes). The RMRKR[0] output is high during row 1 path overhead (octet
J1) in STS-1 and STS-3c/STM-1 modes. There are two marker and clock outputs
for STS-1 and STS-3c/STM-1 modes because the SONET frame and payload
envelopes can be offset from each other.

2.4 Status and Alarms
2.4 Status and Alarms
The CN8223 automatically receives and generates alarms.
2.4.1 Status and Counter Interrupts
The status interrupt pin STAT_INT can be programmed to provide an interrupt on
any occurrence in the LINE_STATUS register [0x38]. Each of these signals
generates a receive status interrupt if the corresponding interrupt is enabled in the
EN_LINE_INT register [0x2D]. To determine if an interrupt is caused by a PHY
status event, the LINE_STATUS register is read. This clears the interrupts in that
register.
Two types of interrupts are provided: error and alarm. Error signals cause an
interrupt on each occurrence of an error condition. Error signals are bits 9–13 in
the LINE_STATUS register. Alarm signals provide an interrupt on change of
state. All other indications in LINE_STATUS are alarm indications.
Interrupt status bits for the line/PHY counter overflows are located in the
OVFL_STATUS register [0x3A]. The enables for these interrupts are in
EN_OVFL_INT [0x2F]. All counters are 16 bits. If a counter is set to interrupt, it
rolls over to zero when it exceeds its maximum value. If a counter is not set to
interrupt, it saturates at its maximum value of 65,535 and ignores further events.
To determine if an interrupt has been caused by a counter, the microprocessor
reads the OVFL_STATUS register.
If the interrupt for a particular counter is not set, the counter saturates at a
value of 65,535 and stays at that value until read. If Enable One-Second Latching
of Line Counters [bit 13 in CONFIG_1 [0x00] is set, then at each one-second
interval defined by the input ONESECI, the current counter value is latched for
the following one-second interval, and the counter is cleared. If the counter is
again read in that one-second interval, the current value of the counter is read and
then cleared.
The LCV counter [0x40] is always latched (and the counter cleared) by the
ONESECI input regardless of the setting of Enable One-Second Latching of Line
Counters. When this counter is read, the latched value is presented and then
cleared. Subsequent reads prior to the next ONESECI latching event produce a
value of zero.

2.4 Status and Alarms
ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
2.4.2 Alarm Signal Generation
Three alarm signals can be generated by the transmitter in DS3 mode. These
alarms are generated by setting Transmit Alarm Control [bits 6–4] of the
CONFIG_2 register [0x01]. The yellow alarm is contained in the X1 and X2 bits.
DS3 AIS has the highest priority, followed by idle code, and finally yellow alarm.
DS3 FEBE alarms are generated automatically in the transmitter when the
receiver detects either a frame bit error or a C-parity error in an M-frame. When
no alarm condition is present, the FEBE channel contains all-1s. When an alarm
is to be sent (as determined by the receiver) the FEBE channel is set to all 0s for
one M-frame for each error occurrence.
In G.751 E3 mode, transmission of AIS (unframed all 1s) is enabled by setting
Transmit Alarm Control [bit 4] high. Transmission of yellow alarm is enabled by
setting Transmit Alarm Control [bit 6] high. This causes the transmitted A-bit to
be set to one.
In G.832 E3/E4 modes, transmission of AIS or the MA FERF indication is
enabled by setting Transmit Alarm Control [bits 4 or 5], respectively. The MA
timing marker bit can be set by setting Transmit Alarm Control [bit 6].
In STS-1 and STS-3c/STM-1 modes, transmission of line Alarm Indication

can be enabled as described in Section 3.3.

2.5 Parallel Line Interface
ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
2.5 Parallel Line Interface
The CN8223 has a parallel line interface consisting of TXOUT[8:0] and
RXOUT[8:0]. These octet ports allow interfacing of external framers or other
devices that use parallel data. Table 2-1, illustrates the architecture of this parallel
interface. Also, this interface can be used for the Advanced Micro Devices TAXI
interface chipset.
2.5.1 TAXI Interface
The parallel port of the CN8223 can be configured to interface directly with
AMD’s TAXI transmit/receive chipset. To enable this mode, set the following
values in each of these registers:
CONFIG_1 (0x00): Set the 8 LSBs to 0xE0.
CONFIG_3 (0x02): Set Enable HEC Coset (bit 0) and Invert RX Clock
(bit 8) high.
CONFIG_4 (0x29): Set Enable TAXI Interface (bit 3) high.
The transmit interface logic automatically generates the signals needed by the
TAXI transmitter to insert JK sync and TT start-of-cell symbols before each
transmitted data cell of 53 octets. When no transmit port is active, the transmitter
sends continuous JK sync symbols.
The receiver interface logic detects the TT start-of-cell command and
synchronizes its cell circuitry to receive and process the 53-octet cell data. The
receiver ignores all incoming JK sync signals while awaiting the reception of the
TT symbol. The receiver is not clocked on any command or data octet if the
violation indication is present on RXIN[8]. None of the indications in the
LINE_STATUS register [0x38] are valid in TAXI mode except for One Second
Count. Any other indications should be ignored. Violations will be counted in
Line Counter 2. All cell status and cell event counters operate as in other modes.
In TAXI mode, the capability to shut down the output of cells to the FIFO
interface is lost because of the use of the RCV_HLD pin. In this mode, the control
bits in CELL_VAL or external logic using the VLTN signal must be employed for
this function.
NOTE: Source and line loopbacks are not functional in TAXI mode due to the
asymmetry between the transmit and receive control lines.

Interface connections for the Transmit Parallel Interface mode are listed in
Table 2-15. TXOD and TXDELO are mapped to TXIN and TXOUT[8],
respectively. Figure 2-14 illustrates the transmit timing for the parallel interface.
TXCKI has a frequency of up to 20 MHz. In parallel mode, the synchronization
signal TXOD marks the octet clocks where the CN8223 does not provide a new
data octet on the TXDAT output. This could be used for marking all of the
overhead (non-ATM payload) octets in a data stream.
Alternatively, TXOD can be held low and a gapped octet clock provided from
the external circuitry to the CN8223 on TXCKI. TXDAT is the output signal; it
transitions in response to the rising edge of TXCKI, and can be sampled on the
following falling edge externally. TXDELO also transitions in response to the
rising edge and marks the first octet of each 53-octet cell.

The data inputs can be sampled on the rising edge of the input clock by setting
Invert RX Clock Sampling [bit 8] of CONFIG_3 [0x02]. An idle octet indicator
can be provided on RXOD as illustrated in Figure 2-15. The CN8223 ignores all

2.6 ATM Cell Processing
ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
2.6 ATM Cell Processing
The ATM cell processing block is located between the line framers and FIFO port
blocks of the CN8223 (see Figure 1-3). This functional block interfaces between
the octet data and cell data portions of the chip. The CN8223 supports cell
delineation via either PLCP or HEC alignment for DS1, E1, DS3, E3, E4, STS-1,
and STS-3c/STM-1 rates. At DS3 and E3 rates, all required stuffing functions are
supported.
2.6.1 Cell Generation for Transmit
Cell generation refers to the formatting of 53-octet ATM cells from 48- or
52-octet payload data from the FIFO interface for hand-off to the line framer
transmitter. The CN8223 provides modes that generate complete cells as well as
modes that pass entire 53- or 57-octet cells directly from the FIFO interface. Cell
modes and other per-port controls are in the four CELL_GEN_x registers
[0x04–0x07].
The generation process operates autonomously with a handshake protocol
through the FIFO interface. Cells are forwarded automatically to the line framer
for transmission.
When full ATM cell generation is performed, a 5-octet header is generated by
the CN8223. The VCI and other fields in the first 4 octets come from
microprocessor control registers. The HEC in octet 5 is calculated and inserted by
the CN8223. HEC coverage over 4-header octets (ATM) or 3-header octets
(SMDS/802.6) is selectable by HEC Coverage [bit 1] of CONFIG_3 [0x02]. The
remaining 48 octets are payload and are taken from the FIFO interface. The
CN8223 calculates and overwrites the CRC field to complete the 53-octet cell.
A cell-ready indication controls the cell generation process from the external
ATM interface circuit to the cell generation block. When the ATM interface
indicates that it has the first cell of a message ready, the cell generation block
begins formatting a non-idle cell for transmission using the octet data and cell
delineation control inputs at the interface. The cell generation circuitry
automatically generates idle cells until the external FIFO indicates that another
cell is ready for transfer. The header and payload for idle cells are programmable
via control registers. When the next cell is ready, the host presents the data and
cell delineation control inputs.

2.6 ATM Cell Processing
Two rate control registers are provided for control of the port sources to allow
programmable rate shaping of cell transmission. The ratio of active to idle cells is
programmable with 0.4 % granularity. The cell generation process maintains
status counts of non-idle cells transmitted for each of the four sources. Table 2-17
lists the four cell generation modes provided by the CN8223.
Table 2-17. Cell Generation Modes
Mode
Function
48-Octet Mode
Provides for full ATM generation. Forty-eight octets are taken from the FIFO interface, the appropriate
header fields are attached, and the payload CRC is overwritten to form the ATM cell.
52-Octet Mode
Allows a 53-octet cell, less the HEC octet, to be transferred from the FIFO interface. The HEC is calculated
and inserted by the CN8223. The payload CRC for AAL3/4 can be inserted, or checked and transferred
without modification. Both the HEC and the payload CRC can be optionally disabled or errored on a
single-event basis. The cell generation process also provides HEC coset generation, ATM payload
scrambling. In each of the above modes, any header field can be overwritten with information from
control registers.
53-Octet Mode
57-Octet Mode
Allows entire 53-octet cells to be transferred from the FIFO interface. This is the mode used when Port 0
is configured for UTOPIA.
Allows the input of entire 57-octet PLCP slots from the FIFO interface. Can be used for external PLCP
insertion or test generation purposes.
2.6.1.1 CELL_GEN_x
Register
Per-port cell generation registers for FIFO Ports 0–3 are in the four
CELL_GEN_x registers [0x04–0x07]. Cell Generation Mode [bits 1,0] selects the
operating mode for the generation circuit. The four modes described in Table 2-17
are provided. In 52-, 53-, or 57-octet modes, the individual header fields obtained
from the FIFO interface can be overwritten. This overwriting is accomplished
with the values found in the TX_HDR registers for a particular port by setting the
appropriate field insertion control bit in the CELL_GEN_x register. In 48-octet
mode the header fields always come from the programmed value in the
corresponding TX_HDR register.
The overhead fields of active cells are taken from the locations listed in
Table 2-18 or set to the indicated values.

pass. Error HEC [bit 11] and Error Payload CRC [bit 12] force a single error
occurrence in the generated field. The Error functions are cleared after the error
is generated. This allows the microprocessor to easily generate a specific number
of errors. The error pattern programmed in the TXFEAC_ERRPAT register
[0x03] is used with the Error HEC control to generate a specific number of HEC
errors for checking receiver error correction/detection circuitry.
The Error Payload CRC bit inserts 4-bit errors into the payload CRC field.
The Inhibit Single Cell Generation [bit 13] field in CELL_GEN_x, inhibits cell
transmission from the port for a single cell interval. A single idle cell (with header
contents as defined in the Transmit Idle Header Register [0x0A–0x0B] and
payload set to all 0s) is transmitted in place of a data cell from this port at the next
cell interval if the priority control tries to obtain a cell from this port. This bit is
cleared by the cell generation circuitry after the idle cell has been transmitted or if
a cell from another port is selected by the priority control. The microprocessor
can poll this bit to determine when the idle cell insertion has been completed.
Idle cells are automatically generated when no transmit port is active. The
header for idle cells is obtained from the TX_IDLE_xx registers, and the HEC is
automatically calculated. The payload for idle cells is obtained from the
IDLE_PAY register [0x2A]. This data octet is inserted in all octet positions of the
idle cell payload. The CRC-10 can be inserted if required by setting Disable
Payload CRC of CELL_GEN_x to zero.
2.6.1.2 Cell Generation
Status and Status
Interrupts for Transmit
A per-port count of cells transmitted is maintained in the CELL_SENT_CNTx
counters [0x4E–0x51] for each port. These counters can be programmed to cause
an interrupt in the CELL_STATUS register [0x3B] by setting enable bits in the
EN_CELL_INT register 0x30]. The interrupt clears when CELL_STATUS is
read. If the counter interrupt is not enabled, the counter stops at its maximum
value of 65,535. If the interrupt is enabled, the counter interrupts on “roll over”
and continues counting. The counter clears when it is read.

2.6.2 Cell Validation for Receive
Cell validation refers to the checking of cells coming in from the PHY block for
proper format. Modes that deliver 48-, 52- or 53-octet cells, or 57-octet PLCP
slots to the FIFO output ports are provided by the CN8223.
Four modes are available for cell output:
•
•
•
A test mode writes the entire 57-octet PLCP slot to the FIFO interface.
A 53-octet mode writes the 53-octet ATM cell to the FIFO interface.
A 52-octet mode writes the ATM cell without the HEC octet to the FIFO
interface.
•
A final mode delivers 48-octet cell payloads to the FIFO interface.
When the UTOPIA interface mode is used, only 53-octet output is available.
The protocol verification provided includes HEC validation with ATM or
SMDS/802.6 coverage, cell header filter/screen against four maskable 32-bit
programmable values, validation of payload length per segment type, and correct
payload CRC value. Status reporting on validation steps is via error counters and
status register indications. Status bits can be programmed to generate interrupts to
the microprocessor. Each validation step can be individually disabled. Cells are
routed to one of four output ports if a match to that port’s programmable header
value is made.
Each cell is output to the ATM interface after a 6- or 10-octet buffer to allow
for header processing. A “cell-valid” output pin is provided to indicate that none
of the enabled error checks detected an error. The UTOPIA internal FIFO or
external circuitry is notified to discard the cell when the valid indication goes
inactive. Idle cells are automatically deleted from the ATM layer output. Parity
and control/delineation signals are provided with each octet at the port interface.
The microprocessor receives status and error counts as cell validation proceeds.
All event and error counters can be programmed to cause an interrupt on
overflow. Reading the interrupt source register allows the microprocessor to
identify overflows and update internal counts. All counters can be read by the
microprocessor and are cleared when read.

2.6.2.1 HEC Alignment
In 53-octet mode, either the internal framer or the parallel input provides octet
alignment information to the HEC alignment state machine. Each octet position is
then searched for correct HEC alignment to determine cell delineation. The HEC
alignment framing state machine is given in ITU I.432. Three states are present:
hunt, pre-sync, and sync. The hunt state is entered when seven consecutive
errored HEC patterns are found at the current alignment location. The pre-sync
state is entered when a candidate position contains the correct HEC pattern. The
sync state is entered when six consecutive, correct HEC patterns at the candidate
location are found.
The HEC state machine can be altered to include state integration by setting
the Integrate HEC Framing control bit in CONFIG_5. When this bit is set, the
state machine has two additional states: OCD Anomaly and Verification. The
OCD Anomaly state is entered when seven consecutive errored HEC patterns are
found at the current alignment location. OCD Anomaly status is indicated in bit
10 of CONFIG_5. After an integration time of X ms in the OCD Anomaly state,
the LCD defect state is entered. The LCD defect state is indicated in bit 8 of
LINE_STATUS [0x38] and on the LOCD output pin. The verification state is
entered when six consecutive, correct HEC patterns at the candidate location are
found. After x ms in the verification state, the sync state is entered. The value of x
is 4 ms for SONET/SDH modes and 2.5 ms for DS3 mode. This integration time
is counted from the 8 kHz reference input on the 8KCKI input pin. A rising edge
must be present on this input every 125 µs for proper integration in this state
machine.
2.6.2.2 CELL_VAL
Control Register
Cell validation refers to the error checking of received cells prior to output to the
FIFO interface. It is controlled via the CELL_VAL register [0x14]. Per-port
output mode selects 48-, 52-, 53-, or 57-octet modes for each of the four ports.
Enable HEC Correction [bit 8] enables the HEC correction mode for single-bit
header errors. If this bit is set to zero, then no correction is performed, but error
detection is always performed. Error correction must be disabled if HEC
Coverage [bit 1] in CONFIG_3 [0x03] is set for SMDS/802.6 mode, or if Enable
HEC Coset [bit 0] in CONFIG_3 is not enabled.
Header Only Output [bit 12] in CELL_VAL enables a 5-octet output mode on
Port 3. Only the 4 header octets of cells addressed to Port 3 and the status octet in
Table 2-19 are output to the FIFO port. In 53-octet cell formats, if status output is
enabled with Header Only Output, none of the other ports should be programmed
for 53-octet output.
Enable Status Octet [bit 13] in CELL_VAL sends a status octet to FIFO Port 3.
It should only be used in 53-octet output mode. When this bit is set, the HEC octet
position in the FIFO output data is omitted, and a status word as shown in
Table 2-19 is appended to the end of the cell as octet number 53. In 53-octet cell
formats, if status output is enabled with the Enable Status Octet bit, none of the
other ports should be programmed for 53-octet output.
The status word contains indications of Port 3 header and payload errors as
well as VCI/VPI match information for the other three ports for each cell
received. The status word bits are set only if the corresponding failure occurs and
the check for that failure is enabled. The User Data Bit is derived from the PT
field in the header as shown in Table 2-20 and can be used as an AAL5 EOM
marker. These two Port 3 output options are available only if none of the ports are
set to 57-octet output mode.

If Disable Cell Receiver [bit 14] of CELL_VAL and Disable Port Reception—
Port X [bits 7–4] of CONFIG_4 [0x29] are not set, then enabled checks are made
on each cell received in the following sequence:
1. The HEC is checked for errors under control of the HEC Coverage [bit 1]
of CONFIG_3 [0x03]. Correctable errors are corrected if Enable HEC
Correction [bit 8] of CELL_VAL is set. The correction/detection state
machine is implemented as defined in the ATM UNI/NNI specifications.
Errors counted in either the COR_HEC_ERR counter [0x49] or
UNCOR_HEC_ERR counter [0x4A] are also indicated in the
corresponding bits in the EVENT_STATUS register [0x39]. HEC error
correction/detection is performed independent of any header screening that
is enabled. Error correction should be enabled only if HEC Coverage is 0
and Enable HEC Coset [bit 0] of CONFIG_3 is 1.
2. The payload CRC-10 is checked. Errors are counted in the
PAY_CRC_ERR counter [0x48] and indicated in EVENT_STATUS. No
CRC checking is performed on cells matching the idle header description.
3. The payload length is checked to be consistent with the segment type.

Errors are counted in the PAY_LEN_ERR counter [0x4C] and indicated in
EVENT_STATUS. No payload length checking is performed on cells
matching the idle header description.
All errors disabled by the global disables in CELL_VAL are counted, and the
first enabled error in the above sequence of checks is counted in the appropriate
cell error counter. Disabled errors will not cause the cell to be marked as invalid.
Header octets are compared to the HDR_VAL registers under control of the
HDR_MSK bits. This determines routing to the proper output port. If no match is
made to any of the VCI/VPI fields for the four ports or to the idle definition, the
cell is counted in the NON_MATCH_CNT counter [0x57]. Payload CRC-10 and
length checks can also be disabled on a per port basis by using the control bits in
CONFIG_4. These bits simply disable the error from marking the cell as invalid
and do not affect the counting of errors in any way. This feature can be used to
route AAL 3/4 cells to one port with checks enabled and AAL5 cells to a different
port with checks disabled.
HEC Coverage [bit 1] in CONFIG_3 determines the calculation range for the
HEC. If this bit is low, the HEC is calculated over header octets 1–4 for ATM
cells. If this bit is high, the HEC is calculated over header octets 2–4 for
SMDS/802.6 cells.
Validation checks can be individually disabled with the remaining control bits
in the CELL_VAL register [0x14]. Disable HEC Check [bit 9] disables the check
of the header error control octet. Disable Payload Length Check [bit 10] disables
the check for consistency between the segment type field and the length field.
Disable Payload CRC Check [bit 11] disables the check of the payload CRC. The
above disables are global disables for all ports and override the per-port control in
CONFIG_4, which also contains per port disables for payload length and payload
CRC checks.
2.6.2.3 Interrupts and
Status Counters for Cell
Validation
Cell error events are indicated with bits 0–6 of the EVENT_STATUS register
[0x39] and can cause an interrupt if enabled with the corresponding bit in the
EN_EVENT_INT register [0x2E]. Status bits are latched at the event occurrence
and are cleared when EVENT_STATUS is read. The error events are also
counted, and interrupts on error counter overflows can be enabled in
EN_OVFL_INT [0x2F]. Counter overflow status is provided in OVFL_STATUS
[0x3A], and the status bits are cleared when the status register is read. These
counters are not latched, and each counter is cleared individually when it is read.
CELL_RCV_CNTx [0x52–0x55] provides a count of all cells that are
accepted for processing and delivery to Port x. This count is based on a header
match with the header value and mask bits that are set in the associated registers
for Port x. This count does not include cells discarded due to an error in the HEC.
IDLE_CELL_CNT [0x56] is a count of valid cells received that match the
programmed idle value and mask. NON_MATCH_CNT [0x57] is a count of
active cells that did not match any of the programmed VCI/VPI values (port or
idle).

Counter overflow interrupts can be individually enabled. If a counter is set to
interrupt, it rolls over to zero, sets the interrupt, and continues counting errors
after it reaches its maximum value. If a counter is not set to interrupt, it saturates
and holds when it reaches its maximum value (0xfff). The interrupt enable bits for
the counters are found in the EN_CELL_INT register [0x30], with the
corresponding interrupt status in the CELL_STATUS register [0x38]. If one of
the cell counter overflow interrupts occurs, the CELL_STATUS register can be
read to determine which counter or counters overflowed. These interrupts are
cleared when CELL_STATUS is read.
Some interrupts in the CELL_STATUS register are related to the
transmission/reception of individual cells. These interrupts may be enabled in
EN_CELL_INT with corresponding status bits in CELL_STATUS. Cell
Rcvd—Port x indicates the validation process has received a complete ATM cell
destined for Port x. Cell Sent—Port x indicates a cell has been transmitted from
source x. These interrupts are cleared when CELL_STATUS is read.
2.6.3 PLCP Cell Generation for Transmit
In 57-octet PLCP formats, the PLCP overhead generation consists of the framing
octets A1 and A2, the Path Overhead Identifier (POI) octets, and the path
overhead octets. All of these are generated by the PHY transmit circuitry, but can
be selectively disabled if desired.
The A1 and A2 octets are generated according to TR-TSV-000773. The POI
octets are determined by the particular PLCP that is selected, but in each case they
consist of a slot count and a parity bit. The DS3 PLCP has 12 slots per frame, the
DS1 and E1 PLCP have 10, and the E3 PLCP has 9. In each case, the POI octets
provide a backwards count of the PLCP slots in the frame, along with a parity bit.
Generation of the A1, A2, and POI octets can be disabled via the Overhead
Control [bits 3–0] of CONFIG_2 [0x01]. All path overhead growth octets Zn and
the path user channel F1 are forced to zero.
The B1 octet is populated with a BIP-8 code that is calculated over each PLCP
frame. The BIP Error Insert [bits 12–10] of CONFIG_2 control insertion of BIP-8
errors in the generated PLCP. If errors are to be inserted, a non-zero value written
to the TXFEAC_ERRPAT register inverts the corresponding bits of the B1 octet
from that calculated by the BIP-8 circuit in the following PLCP frame. Insert
control bits are cleared after each frame when the errors are inserted. The register
can be read to determine if this has occurred, so that the microprocessor can insert
BIP-8 errors as desired in each PLCP frame.

2.6.4 PLCP Cell Validation for Receive
In 57-octet PLCP formats, the PHY receiver implements framing state machines
for cell alignment as described in TR-TSV-000773. In 53-octet formats, the PHY
receiver implements the HEC alignment state machine as described in ITU I.432.
In serial framed 57-octet mode, the PHY receiver processes a serial stream to
find PLCP framing. Octet synchronization is provided externally in DS1 and E1
modes. Internal or external E3 octet synchronization and DS3 nibble
synchronization are provided to the PHY framer. Physical layer framing patterns
are automatically removed before recovery of the octet data. If unframed mode is
enabled, the receiver will search each bit position to determine octet alignment.
The 57-octet PLCP framing state machine contains three states: in-frame,
out-of-frame, and loss-of-frame. Valid framing is found when two consecutive
valid path overhead octets in sequence are observed after the A1, A2 framing
octets. The out-of-frame state is entered only from the in-frame state, when there
are errors in both the A1 and A2 octets or when there are two consecutive Pn
errors. This event is an OOF event, and is counted. The LOF state is entered after
eight consecutive PLCP frames in the out-of-frame state.
Stuffing and destuffing are provided according to the PHY type setting in
57-octet formats. Cycle stuffing is used at the transmit PLCP for DS3 and E3
whenever the receive PLCP is in the LOF state or the RCV_HLD input is high,
and this function is enabled with Receiver Hold Enable [bit 10] of CONFIG_1
[0x00]. Cycle stuffing can also be forced by setting Force Cycle Stuffing [bit 6]
of CONFIG_3 [0x02] high.
NOTE: When the framing mode is dynamically modified between direct mapping
and PLCP framing, the CN8223 will go into an OOF state. Dynamic
switching should only be used if necessary.
2.6.4.1 PLCP Status
Errors in either the A1 or A2 PLCP framing octets cause an indication in the
LINE_STATUS register PLCP Frame Error bit and are counted. PLCP OOF
events are indicated by the PLCP OOF bit and counted. PLCP LOF events (OOF
for eight consecutive PLCP frames) are indicated by the PLCP LOF bit. If an
LOF condition persists for more than 2–3 seconds, the PLCP LOF 2–3 status bit
is set. This is determined by LOF being set for three consecutive rising edges of
the ONESECI input. Loss of cell delineation in 53-octet modes is indicated by the
LOC bit and counted. PLCP OOF and LOC indications also appear on the LOCD
output pin.
The PLCP Yellow Alarm status bit is set high after 10 consecutive frames with
a PLCP yellow alarm value of one and cleared after 10 consecutive frames of a
value of zero.
Errors detected in the receiver BIP-8 code checking circuit cause BIP-8 Error
to be set and counted. FEBE Error is set if any valid non-zero FEBE value (values
of 1 through 8) is received. This condition is also counted in the REM_BIP
counter. Invalid FEBE is set if any invalid FEBE value (9 through F) is received; a
value of F also causes FEBE All 1s to be set. This value is used to indicate that
the FEBE calculation is not supported at the far end of the circuit.

Each rising edge at the ONESECI input causes an indication in the
One-Second Count bit. This indication can be used as a timing interrupt to
coordinate status collection. If Enable One-second Latching of Line Status is set,
the ONESECI input also causes status indications in LINE_STATUS to be
latched. If an alarm condition is present during a one-second interval, it is
available to be read on the successive interval. Otherwise, the status is latched and
held until it is read. If this bit is set and the status word is read twice within a
one-second interval, the second read gives the current state of the status word and
clears the status register. Enable One-second Latching of Line Counters provides
the same functionality for the counters.
Each of the LINE_STATUS bits is latched until read and then cleared if the
condition is no longer present. If a status condition clears before the register is
read, the status bit is still held. Current status can be obtained by reading the
register twice in succession.
2.6.5 PLCP Transmit/Receive Synchronization
For 57-octet formats, the PLCP block must transmit segments at the same rate as
they are received. For DS1 and E1, long-term synchronization of the bit clock
rates establish this. For DS3 and E3 rates, the payload data rate is independent of
the line rate, and a separate timing/synchronization mechanism is required.
The DS3 and E3 PLCPs both have a 125 µs frame period. The reference clock
for this frame is taken from the received signal, or alternatively from an external
reference supplied to the 8 kHz clock input 8KCKI. In either case, the transmit
circuit generates one PLCP frame per reference frame.
In 53-octet formats, all frame structures are based on a 125 µs period;
consequently, no stuffing is required to synchronize the transmit and receive
segments.
Clock and control inputs consist of the following:
•
•
An external 8 kHz reference for the PLCP at E3 and DS3
A one-second input to synchronize status collection timing in
multiple-port applications
•
A “hold receiver” input that can externally disable cell validation when an
external framer loses frame or signal
•
•
Three test inputs
A reset input
A one-second clock output is provided to allow synchronization of status
collection for multiple CN8223s or for CN8223s and framers. When a single
CN8223 is used, ONESECO should be connected to ONESECI. This timing
output is derived from the external 8 kHz reference clock input on 8KCKI.

2.7 FIFO Port/UTOPIA Interface
The CN8223 has four bidirectional FIFO ports used to interface to the ATM layer
outside the chip. These four ports share FDAT_IN and FDAT_OUT 8-bit ports.
Each port has its own set of six control signals used for flow control and timing.
(Refer to Figure 1-4, for a diagram of the FIFO port/UTOPIA interface.)
Port 0 can be configured as a level 1 compliant UTOPIA port for connection
to other UTOPIA components. When UTOPIA mode is enabled, Ports 1, 2, and 3
are unused. The UTOPIA interface is detailed in Section 2.7.5.
2.7.1 FIFO Interface Inputs and Outputs
The four-port FIFO interface allows the connection of the CN8223 directly to
dual-port RAMs, FIFO RAMs, and other similar circuits. The FIFO interface pins
and their functions used for connection are listed in Table 2-23. Transmit FIFO
port timing for the 53-octet mode is shown in Figure 2-16. Detailed descriptions
of the transmit FIFO pin functions are given in Table 2-24. Receive FIFO port
timing for the 53-octet mode is shown in Figure 2-17. Detailed descriptions of the

Functional Description
Transmit Data FIFO Empty
In the transmit direction, the Transmit Data FIFO Empty input inhibits the Transmit Data Read
Strobe for a particular port. The empty flag from the FIFO, when inactive, indicates that the
FIFO contains at least one entire cell of the appropriate length for the selected mode. Data read
strobes to a particular port are inhibited if the empty flag for that port is low. There are four of
these signals, asserted low, one per port.
Transmit PLCP Frame Sync
If using FIFO mode and PLCP mapping, when 57-octet input is selected on the transmitter, the
Transmit PLCP Frame Sync Marker (FCTRL_OUT[16]) is high during the first slot of the PLCP
frame to indicate the start of the frame.
Transmit Start of Cell Marker
Transmit Cell Sync Marker
In 53-octet mode, FCTRL_OUT[16] indicates the Transmit Start of Cell, informing the FIFO that
the next strobe will read the first octet of the cell to be transmitted.
The Transmit Cell Sync Marker is an additional output to delineate cell boundaries to the
transmit data FIFO. This marker is low during the read strobe requesting the last octet of a cell,
and high during all other read strobes regardless of the programmed length of the cell to be
transferred from the FIFO.

CN8223 FIFO Input
Functional Description
Receive Data Write Strobe
The receive data FIFO interface strobes data octets from FDAT_OUT[8:0] into an external
FIFO device on each rising edge of Receive Data Write Strobe. This strobe is a gated clock
with 48-, 52-, 53-, or 57- strobes for the corresponding number of cell octets, depending
on mode. There are four Receive Data Write Strobes, one per port.
Receive Data FIFO Full
This flag is active low. If Receive Data FIFO Full is asserted by the external FIFO and the
CN8223 attempts a write to that port data, loss occurs. If this happens, Receive FIFO Write
Error pin (FCTRL_OUT[10]) is asserted low. There are four Receive Data FIFO full signals,
one per port.
Receive Cell Sync Marker
The sync marker will be low during the last octet of data transfer and high during all other
octets of the data transfer for each cell regardless of the number of octets selected for
output.
Receive Cell Invalid Indication
This per-port signal indicates that a HEC or other check has failed. The invalid indication will
be low during the first octet of data transfer. If any enabled check fails, the invalid indication
will be high during the last five octets of the cell. If no failures occur, the indication will stay
de-asserted through the end of the cell. The FIFO or a microprocessor must mark this cell
as bad to prevent further processing.
Optional Start of Cell Mode
If Start-of-Cell/Write Error Output [bit 15] in the CELL_VAL register [0x14] is set, then
FCTRL_OUT[10] becomes an active-high start-of-cell output marker for the receiver, and
FCTRL_OUT[16] becomes an active-high start-of-cell output marker for the transmitter.
These indicators are valid only in 53-octet input/output mode. In this mode, the Receive
FIFO Write Error function is not available.
2.7.2 Transmit Port Priority Mechanism
Each of the four transmit data read ports has a priority level that is programmable
to four levels. The control bits for setting the port priority level are in the
CELL_GEN_x control registers. Priority level 0 is the highest priority, priority
level 3 is the lowest (see Table 2-26).

If more than one port is assigned the same priority level, then arbitration
occurs in port order with bandwidth allocated cyclically to Port 0, Port 1, Port 2,
and Port 3.
The priority state machine looks at the port empty flag inputs for all ports at
priority level 0 and reads cells from these ports cyclically until all port flags
indicate empty. If no cells are available at priority 0, the state machine then looks
at the port empty flags for all ports at priority level 1 and reads cells from these
ports cyclically as long as no priority 0 port has a cell ready.

CN8223
2.0 Functional Description
ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
2.7 FIFO Port/UTOPIA Interface
If a higher priority port indicates that it has a cell ready during servicing of a
lower priority port, service switches to the higher priority port after completion of
the cell currently being formatted and transmitted. Servicing of ports and priority
levels continues in this manner until the lowest priority ports are serviced and
empty.
Port priority programming is not intended to be dynamic and should be used
only as a configuration setup. Changes in port priority cannot take place until
ports are inactive (via FIFO empty flag or transmit rate shaping).
Unused ports should be programmed to the lowest priority level, and their
empty flag inputs should be connected to ground.
2.7.3 Transmit Rate Shaping Control
Each of the four transmit data ports has a rate shaping control to allow the
allocation of programmable bandwidth to cells originating from this port. The
TX_RATE_01 [0x09] and TX_RATE_23 [0x08] registers control this function.
The transmit circuitry contains a mod-256 master counter to control rate
shaping. This counter is incremented for every ATM cell that is transmitted, and it
rolls over to 0 when count 255 is reached.
The programmed rate value for a port in the TX_RATE_xx registers
determines the count range for which transmission from that port is allowed. For
instance, if Port 0 is programmed with a rate value of 63, transmission of cells
queued at Port 0 will be allowed for 64 (one more than the programmed value) of
the 256 counts of the master counter.
The transmission is spread over all counts of the counter so that transmission
is not bursty. This gives Port 0 a bandwidth allocation of 25 % of the total
outgoing bandwidth even if all of the other ports are inactive.
This allocation scheme is valid for rate values from 1 to 255 resulting in
allocation ranges from 0.8 % to 100 %. Programming a port’s rate value to zero
disables transmissions from that port and causes the transmit circuitry to ignore
FIFO flag indications from that port.
The programmed rate value is an upper bound on the transmission from a
particular port, and the exact ratio may not be achieved if multiple ports are active
at the same time.
2.7.4 Receive Port Addressing
Received cells are routed to each of the four FIFO ports depending on the values
in the Header Value and Header Mask registers. These registers allow a range of
ATM cells to be routed to one of the four FIFO ports. Also, the same ATM cell
can be routed to multiple receive FIFO ports if desired.
The HDR_VALx_12 and HDR_VALx_34 register contents are used to match
incoming ATM cell headers. There are four sets of these registers (x = 0, 1, 2, 3),
one set for each of the four receive FIFO ports. If HDR_VALx_12 and
HDR_VALx_34 are a bitwise match to the incoming cell, then this cell is routed
to the x receive FIFO port.

2.7 FIFO Port/UTOPIA Interface
ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
2.7.4.1 Header
Screening
The HDR_MSKx_12 and HDR_MSKx_34 registers further qualify the bitwise
values in the Header Value registers. There are four sets of these registers (x = 0,
1, 2, 3), one set for each of the four receive FIFO ports. A bit set to 1 in a Header
Mask register sets the same bit position in the Header Value register to a Don’t
Care condition for accepting cell headers.
An example of Header Value and Mask register screening for cells received by
FIFO Port 0 follows:
HDR_VAL0_12 = 0000 H
HDR_VAL0_34 = F000 H
HDR_MSK0_12 = 0000 H
HDR_MSK0_34 = 0000 H
This header screening setup for FIFO Port 0 receives cells with octets 1 2 3 4
equal to 00 00 F0 00. Since the Header Mask bits for Port 0 are all 0, there is no
effect on the header value screening.
In the following example the Header Mask value allows multiple cells to be
accepted by FIFO Port 0:
HDR_VAL0_12 = 0000 H
HDR_VAL0_34 = F000 H
HDR_MSK0_12 = 0000 H
HDR_MSK0_34 = 0003 H
This header screening setup for FIFO Port 0 accepts four different received
cells with octets 1 2 3 4 equal to 00 00 F0 00, 00 00 F0 01, 00 00 F0 02, or 00 00
F0 03. The 2 bits set in HDR_MSK0_12 set Don’t Care conditions for the same 2
bit positions in HDR_VAL0_12. This allows four different ATM cell headers to
be accepted by FIFO Port 0.
These control registers enable the CN8223 to be programmed to accept only
certain slot types, or all slots whether busy or not, and also to screen slots for a
particular VCI/VPI pattern. To disable header screening completely, write the
mask register to all 1s. Headers are screened after any error correction is
performed by the HEC circuitry.
2.7.4.2 Output
Screening
The receiver circuitry contains buffer storage so that the header octets can be
examined to determine which, if any, port is to be activated for output. This
allows output of the PLCP and header octets in 57- and 53-octet modes,
respectively.
Header octets are compared to the programmed values in the HDR_VAL
registers under control of the HDR_MSK registers. If a match is made, the data
write strobe for that port is activated, and the cells are written to the port. By
using the mask bits to mark Don’t Care locations, cells with different header
values can be sent to a single port. This allows entire VCI/VPI “pages” to be sent
to the same location. Also, several ports can be programmed to receive cells with
the same header values or overlapping pages of header values resulting in a
programmable broadcast capability.
If Accept/Reject [bits 15–12] in CONFIG_3 [0x02], is set for a particular port,
then all cells with headers matching the programmed header value and mask
criteria are rejected by the port, and all other cells are accepted for output. This
feature can be used to screen certain VCI/VPI values from being output to a
particular port.

2.7 FIFO Port/UTOPIA Interface
If Delete Idle Cells [bit 2] of CONFIG_4 [0x29] is set, then received cells
matching the idle header and mask criteria are automatically screened from
appearing on the output of all ports.
This idle cell screening is in addition to any reject values that are programmed
for the individual ports. Only addressed ports have active strobes.
2.7.5 UTOPIA Interface
The CN8223 incorporates an interface that is compliant with both the ATM
Forum UTOPIA Level 1 (Version 2.01) Specification and the Saturn Compliant
Interface for ATM PHY Devices Specification.
When the UTOPIA interface is enabled, the CN8223 becomes a single port
device with all input and output of cell data taking place on Port 0.
Configurations for ports 1, 2, and 3 (such as header values and masks or rate
controls) are ignored when in UTOPIA mode. The header values, masks, rate
controls, and other per-port configuration control bits for Port 0 govern the
operation of the UTOPIA port cell stream.
The UTOPIA interface contains transmit and receive buffer FIFOs with a
depth of four cells and is programmable for reduced latency requirements per
ATM Forum document 94/0317. UTOPIA interface pins are listed in Table 2-27.
The UTOPIA interface is controlled by 0x2B—UTOPIA_1 (Utopia Port
Control Register 1) and 0x2C—UTOPIA_2 (Utopia Port Control Register 2). The
timing for the UTOPIA interface is functionally compatible with the timing
shown in the Version 2.01 ATM Forum Specification. Detailed timing
information can be found in Chapter 4.0.

2.8 FEAC Channel and HDLC Data Link Programming
ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
2.8 FEAC Channel and HDLC Data Link
Programming
This section discusses the use and programming requirements for the FEAC
channel and HDLC data link. The FEAC channel is used in DS3 mode; the
HDLC data link is used by DS3, E3, and STS-1/3 framers.
2.8.1 FEAC Channel Transmitter
The FEAC Channel transmitter is under control of the PHY Type [bits 2–0],
External Framer [bit 5] of CONFIG_1 [0x00], Transmit Alarm Control [bits 9–4
of CONFIG_2 [0x01], Enable FEAC Transmission [bit 9], and Transmit FEAC
Data [bits 15–10] of TXFEAC_ERRPAT [0x03]. An interrupt for use with FEAC
channel operations is available on the DL_INT output pin, and status bits for
determining the interrupt source are located in the RXFEAC_VER register
[0x3C].
The PHY type must be set to internal DS3 for FEAC channel transmission to
take place. In DS3 mode, the last C bit in subframe 1 of the M-frame is used for
transmission. Setting the Transmit Alarm Control [bits 9–4] for transmission of
AIS disables transmission of the FEAC channel. Transmission of yellow alarm or
idle code has no effect on FEAC channel transmission.
The TXFEAC_ERRPAT register controls the byte to be transmitted on the
FEAC channel. All messages for transmission on the FEAC channel must be in
the form “0xxxmmm011111111”. The right-most bit of this sequence is the first
bit transmitted on the channel. To initiate transmission of a message byte in the
FEAC channel, write the desired byte in the form “mmmxxx” into bits 15–10 of
the TXFEAC_ERRPAT register. A 1 must be written to Enable FEAC
Transmission [bit 9]. Transmission of the flag (11111111) and the 0s on either
side of the “xxxmmm” pattern is automatic. Ten repetitions of the message are
sent before an interrupt is issued on the DL_INT pin. The interrupt also appears
in the RXFEAC_VER register to request a new byte from the processor. To clear
the interrupt, you must write the TXFEAC_ERRPAT register. Each time a new
byte is written, 10 transmissions of that byte (and flag) will automatically occur.
Interrupts from the transmit FEAC channel will occur at a rate of approximately
one interrupt per 17 ms.
If you write a 0 to Enable FEAC Transmission [bit 9], then continuous
transmission of idle flags is enabled and no interrupts are issued until a byte of the
proper format is written to the TXFEAC_ERRPAT register. Interrupts from the
FEAC channel transmitter appear on Transmit FEAC Interrupt [bit 8] in the
RXFEAC_VER register [0x3C].

CN8223
2.0 Functional Description
ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
2.8 FEAC Channel and HDLC Data Link Programming
2.8.2 FEAC Channel Receiver
The FEAC channel receiver is under control only of the received data stream. The
receiver interrupt is under control of Enable Receive FEAC Interrupt [bit 8] in
TXFEAC_ERRPAT. This interrupt must be enabled by setting this bit for receiver
interrupts to appear on the DL_INT output and for proper interaction with the
processor. The last C bit in subframe 1 in C bit parity mode is provided to the
receiver circuitry at all times.
Receiver status is monitored via Receive FEAC Interrupt [bit 9] in
RXFEAC_VER. When a receive FEAC channel interrupt is generated on
DL_INT, the Receive FEAC Interrupt bit will be set in 0x3C. If this bit is
observed upon reading the RXFEAC_VER, then at least 10 repetitions of the
same byte have been received by the data link and placed in bits 15–10 of
RXFEAC_VER. The receive interrupt serves as notice that the message bits in
RXFEAC_VER are valid. Reading RXFEAC_VER clears the receive interrupt.
An idle message is all 1s, and all other messages are of the form
“0xxxmmm011111111” with reception of the rightmost bit first from the
channel. The receiver logic recognizes the eight 1s message flag followed by a
message byte and interrupts the controller upon reception of 10 repetitions of a
valid message byte. The “mmmxxx” message byte that was received is stored in
RXFEAC_VER bits 15–10 at 0x3C. Continuous incoming messages on the
FEAC channel produce an interrupt rate of approximately one interrupt per 17 ms
for this interrupt source. No interrupts are generated if the FEAC channel is
receiving continuous idle flags or if the interrupt is not enabled in
TXFEAC_ERRPAT.
2.8.3 HDLC Data Link Transmitter
The HDLC data link capability is present in the following formats:
•
•
•
•
DS3 Terminal Data Link C bits
G.751 E3 N bit
G.832 E3 and E4 GC octet
STS-1/STS-3c/STM-1 D1, D2, D3 octet data link
The HDLC formatter has an 8-octet buffer (organized as four 16-bit words)
for both the receiver and transmitter, located at addresses 0x58 through 0x5B and
0x5C through 0x5F, respectively. Addresses are word-wide locations that hold 2
bytes each. Therefore, each buffer has an address range of 4, two for each buffer
half. Each buffer holds 4 octets.
The HDLC data link transmitter is under the control of the Enable HDLC Data
Link [bit 5] in the CONFIG_5 [0x31] and bits 6–0 in DL_CTRL_STAT [0x60].
An interrupt for use with data link operations is available on the DL_INT output
pin, and status bits for determining the interrupt source are located in
DL_CTRL_STAT.
If the framer is in a mode that allows data link transmission as described
above, the DL_CTRL_STAT register is the main control register used for transmit
data link operations. Disable Data Link Transmission [bit 6] of DL_CTRL_STAT
must be set low to enable operation of the data link. If this bit is set high, an all 1s
signal is transmitted in the data link bit positions in the outgoing serial stream.
With the data link enabled, the Send Message [bit 0], Send FCS [bit 1], and Abort
Message [bit 2] bits of DL_CTRL_STAT control operation. TxBytes[2:0] [bits
5–3] of DL_CTRL_STAT form a pointer to the TX_DL_BUFFER used by the
data link transmitter.

2.8 FEAC Channel and HDLC Data Link Programming
ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
The transmitter implements an HDLC data link per ITU standard Q.921. The
functions provided by the data link transmitter circuitry are transparency zero
stuffing, Frame Check Sequence (FCS) generation, idle flag generation, and abort
flag generation. There are no restrictions on the total length of the message.
Q.921 requires that all messages be an integral number of 8-bit bytes. The
transmitter can only transmit 8-bit bytes. The byte transmission times for the
transmitter are approximately those shown in Table 2-28.

An 8-byte buffer (organized as four 16-bit words) is provided for the transmit
data link channel to minimize processor interruptions. This buffer is located at
addresses 0x5C through 0x5F. Byte 0 is the least significant byte of 0x5C, byte 1
is the most significant byte of 0x5C, byte 2 is the least significant byte of 0x5D,
etc. Filling of this buffer is accomplished by the processor in the same manner as
writing to control registers. This buffer can be read as well as written to verify
contents. The buffer is divided into two halves to reduce the real-time
requirements on the processor. The processor loads four bytes (2 words) at a time,
while the data link transmitter reads from the other half of the buffer. This gives
the processor at least 160 µs (at the fastest byte rate) to assemble the next four
bytes of message for transmission before the next interrupt is issued. Interrupts
are issued each time the transmitter circuitry reaches a 4-byte buffer boundary.
The transmitter should be initialized with the DL_CTRL_STAT register bits
6–0 written to zero. This enables the transmitter to send idle flags on the data link.
No interrupts are generated when the data link is sending idle flags, thus no
processor intervention is required until a message is to be sent.
2.8.3.1 Sending a
Message
Beginning with an idle channel, the processor writes the first four bytes of
message data to the TX_DL_BUFFER. The first two bytes of data to be
transmitted should be written to 0x5C. The message is written to the buffer in
ascending order starting at 0x5C and ending at 0x5F. The least significant bit
(LSB) in each byte is transmitted first. This buffer can be written well before the
message is to be sent, if desired. After the first block of data is present in the
buffer memory, the processor writes to the DL_CTRL_STAT register to begin
transmission:
•

Send Message = 1
TxBytes[2:0] = 3

The 3-bit field TxBytes[2:0] is functionally split into two parts. The most
significant bit (MSB) indicates to the transmitter circuitry which half of the buffer
to read from next. The two LSBs indicate the stop location, i.e., where the last
message byte is located. When the new controls are latched by the transmitter
circuitry, the processor is interrupted for the next set of controls. Now, the
processor has up to 4-byte intervals (byte transmission time periods) to write a
new set of controls to the control register. Because of a race condition, the ISR
that is processing the transmit interrupt must delay 1.5 byte times before writing a
new control register value. The processor can now write the next block of data to
the next half of the message buffer.
When the end of a message is reached, or in the event of a short message, there
may not be exactly 4 bytes remaining. In this case, the processor writes the
remaining data to the message buffer as usual. The processor now must write the
highest location used to the TxBytes[2:0] field in the data link control register.
Send FCS is set to 1. This causes the FCS to be sent after this last block of data.
When this set of controls is latched, the processor is interrupted. At this time a
new message can be sent, or Send Message can be set to 0 to send idle flags. If a
new message is to be sent immediately, the next half of the transmit buffer can be
written, and the data link control register configured accordingly. This results in
only one idle flag being transmitted between messages. If there is no new
message ready, the processor must write Send Message to 0. If this is not done
within 4 byte intervals, undefined data is transmitted.
2.8.3.2 Aborting a
Message
To abort a message in progress, the controller writes Abort Message to 1 in the
data link control register. The transmitter finishes sending the message byte in
progress, then transmits an abort flag (11111110). After writing the abort signal
to the control register, a second write may follow the next interrupt to cause the
transmitter to go to the idle condition or to transmit another message. In the latter
case, the abort flag is followed by one idle flag, and the new message begins. If
the second write is not performed, the formatter continues to transmit abort flags
until instructed otherwise.
2.8.3.3 Transmitter
Interrupts
The transmitter generates an interrupt when it has latched the present set of
controls and is ready for a new set. There are no interrupts during the
transmission of idle flags. Therefore, to start a message from an idle condition,
the processor writes the first half of the buffer and the proper control bits. When
the circuit latches these controls internally, an interrupt is immediately issued for
the next set of control bits. The processor then has up to 4 byte intervals to
respond to the interrupt. The interrupt appears on the DL_INT pin. The
DL_CTRL_STAT register indicates the source of the interrupt but not the cause.
The controller software must know from the message context what response is
required. The interrupt is an active low level, not a pulse. The transmit interrupt is
cleared upon the writing of the DL_CTRL_STAT register. A write operation must
be performed to clear the current interrupt and prevent missing later interrupts.
If the interrupt is a mid-message interrupt, a new data link control word must
be written with TxBytes[2:0] equal to the ending location of the next message
block. The MSB of TxBytes[2:0] informs the transmit circuitry which half of the
buffer to read next.
Interrupts from the HDLC data link transmitter will appear on Transmitter
Interrupt [bit 14] in DL_CTRL_STAT [0x60]. Interrupts must be enabled to
appear on DL_INT by setting Enable HDLC Data Link = 1 in CONFIG_5.

2.8.3.4 Transmitter
Control Example
This example shows the sequence necessary to transmit a 10-byte hex message
starting in the low half of the transmit buffer. With the transmitter in the idle state,
the processor executes the following sequence:
write bytes 1 and 2 to address 0x5C
write bytes 3 and 4 to address 0x5D
write 19 to address 0x60 (bytes = 3, send message = 1)
at TX Interrupt:
write bytes 5 and 6 to address 0x5E
write bytes 7 and 8 to address 0x5F
write 39 to address 0x60 (bytes = 7, send message = 1)
at TX Interrupt:
write bytes 9 and 10 to address 0x5C
write 0B to address 0x60 (bytes = 1, send message = 1,
send FCS = 1)at TX Interrupt:
write 00 to address 0x60 (send message = 0, send FCS = 0
2.8.4 HDLC Data Link Receiver
The HDLC data link receiver is under the control of the received data stream only.
The receiver interrupt is under the control of Enable Receive Data Link Interrupt
[bit 7] in DL_CTRL_STAT [0x60]. You must enable this interrupt by setting this
bit for receiver interrupts to appear on the DL_INT output and for proper
interaction with the processor. The HDLC data link capability is present in the
following formats:
•
•
•
•
DS3 Terminal Data Link C bits
G.751 E3 N bit
G.832 E3 and E4 GC octet
STS-1/STS-3c/STM-1 D1, D2, D3 octet data link
The data link bits are provided to the receiver circuitry at all times. Therefore,
when the LINE_STATUS register [0x38] indicates that alarms are being received
that render the data link information useless, you can disable the receive data link
interrupt to prevent excessive or spurious interrupts to the processor. Receiver
status is monitored via Receiver Interrupt [bit 15] in DL_CTRL_STAT and via
the receiver status bits in that register (bits 13-8). When a receive data link
interrupt is generated on DL_INT, the Receiver Interrupt bit is set. If this bit is
observed upon reading the DL_CTRL_STAT register, then the status obtained
from bits 13–8 indicates the receiver status that caused the interrupt.
The DL_CTRL_STAT register contains three status bits and a three-bit buffer
pointer. The status bits are Abort Flag Received [bit 8], Bad FCS [bit 9], and Idle
Code Received [bit 10]. The 3-bit buffer pointer RxBytes[2:0] [bits 13–11] is
used to point to locations in the 8-byte (organized as four 16-bit words)
RX_DL_BUFFER. This buffer is located at addresses 0x58 through 0x5B. The
buffer pointer indicates the last location written by the data link receiver. Byte 0
of the buffer is the least significant byte of 0x58, byte 1 is the most significant
byte of 0x58, byte 2 is the least significant byte of 0x59, etc.

2.8 FEAC Channel and HDLC Data Link Programming
2.8.4.1 Receiver
Operation
The receiver implements an HDLC data link per ITU standard Q.921. The
functions provided by the data link receiver circuitry are transparency-zero
removal, FCS checking, idle flag reception, and abort flag reception. There are no
restrictions on the total length of the message. Q.921 requires that all messages be
an integral number of 8-bit bytes. If the receiver receives a message that is not an
integral number of bytes, the receiver status indicates a message received with
bad FCS. The per-byte reception times are equivalent to those given for the
transmitter for any particular mode.
The receiver powers up in an indeterminate state. It is initialized by the receipt
of an idle flag (0x7E) on the link, which sets Idle Code Received = 1 in the data
link status register (bits 13-8 of 0x60). When the idle flag is removed from the
link and a message starts coming in, the receiver removes stuffed 0s and writes
the resulting data to the receive data link buffer beginning with the least
significant byte of 0x58 and counting up to the most significant byte of 0x5B.
When the first four bytes have been written, the processor is interrupted to
read the data out of the buffer. The processor has 4 byte intervals to read the data
before it is overwritten with new data. The interrupt is cleared when the processor
reads DL_CTRL_STAT. The status register indicates a message in progress at this
time:
•
•
Idle Code Received = 0
RxBytes[2:0] = 3
If the upper half of the buffer had just been filled, the status register indicates
RxBytes[2:0] = 7, and locations 4 through 7 must be read during the next 4 byte
intervals to retrieve the message.
When the last block of data has been received, the processor is again
interrupted. This time, the data link status register indicates the end of message:
•
•
•
Idle Code Received = 1
RxBytes[2:0] = n
Bad FCS = 0 or 1
The RxBytes[2:0] = n portion of the register indicates the highest-numbered
location that was written in the receive buffer. Locations 0 to n or 4 to m (where
n = 0 to 3 and m = 4 to 7) must be read to retrieve the data depending on what has
already been read at the previous interrupt. The two highest-numbered locations
contain the FCS that was received at the end of the message. A new incoming
message always starts in the opposite buffer half from where the previous
message ended to prevent overwriting of previously received bytes and allow the
processor time to retrieve those bytes. For example, if a message ended in buffer
0x5A or 0x5B, the next message received would be stored starting in 0x58. If a
message ended in buffer 0x58 or 0x59, the next message received would be stored
starting in 0x5A.
If the received message is a multiple of 8 bytes, then when the processor is
interrupted to read the last block of data, the FCS has yet to be received. In this
event, the processor is again interrupted when the FCS has been checked, and an
idle flag received. The data link status register shows RxBytes[2:0] = 1 (or 5),
FCS good or bad, and Idle Code Received = 1; and the FCS that was received will
be in locations 0 and 1 (or 4 and 5). Again, the data must be read out during the
next 4 byte intervals, or it may be overwritten by a new incoming message.

Alternatively, the FCS data may be ignored, and the good or bad indication
used directly. It is important that software strategies allow for the fact that the
LAPD receiver cannot recognize the FCS as such until the closing flag is
recognized. It can happen that the processor is interrupted to read 4 message
bytes, and the next byte received is the closing flag.
When the processor exits the interrupt routine, another interrupt will be
pending for the end of message. The status for this interrupt indicates the idle
condition, the FCS status, and the byte count will be the same as the previous
interrupt (RxBytes[2:0] = 3 or 7) because no extra bytes were received. In this
event, the last two bytes read from memory on the previous interrupt were not
message bytes after all, but were actually the FCS bytes. If the FCS spans a 4-byte
boundary, the final interrupt indicates that one additional byte was received
(RxBytes[2:0] = 0 or 4), the idle condition, and the FCS status.
2.8.4.2 Receiver
Interrupts
The data link receiver generates an interrupt in response to three events:
1. The current half of the message buffer is full
2. The end-of-message flag was detected
3. An abort flag was detected
DL_CTRL_STAT indicates the cause of the interrupt. The interrupt is cleared
upon the reading of this register.
If the interrupt is due to the current half of the receive buffer being full, Idle
Code Received is cleared, and RxBytes[2:0] indicates which half of the buffer
must be read.
If the interrupt is due to the end-of-message flag being detected, Idle Code
Received is set, Bad FCS indicates the result of the FCS error check, and
RxBytes[2:0] indicates the last location written. The processor is not interrupted
again until four bytes of a new message have been received.
If the interrupt is due to an abort flag being received, Abort Flag Received is
set, and there is nothing to be done by software other than discard any previously
received message bytes. The processor will not be interrupted again until four
bytes of a new message have been received.
Interrupts from the HDLC data link receiver appear on Receiver Interrupt
[bit 15] in DL_CTRL_STAT. Interrupts must be enabled to appear on DL_INT by
setting Enable Receive Data Link Interrupt [bit 7] in DL_CTRL_STAT.

2.8.5 Receiver Response Example
The following example shows the sequence necessary to receive an 8-byte hex
message that was stored starting in the low half of the receive buffer. In this
example, the final interrupt indicates that two more bytes are present in the
buffer; however, these bytes are FCS bytes, not message bytes.
When an interrupt is received, the processor reads DL_CTRL_STAT [0x60] to
determine the source of the interrupt. If the source is determined to be the receive
HDLC data link, the processor responds in the following manner (the status
shown below ignores bits 15 and 14 in DL_CTRL_STAT):
at RX Interrupt:
read address 0x60 to get status (status = 18xx:
bytes = 3, idle = 0)
read address 0x58 to get 1st and 2nd data bytes
read address 0x59 to get 3rd and 4th data bytes at RX
Interrupt:
read address 0x60 to get status (status = 38xx:
bytes = 7, idle = 0)
read address 0x5A to get 5th and 6th data bytes
read address 0x5B to get 7th and 8th data bytes at RX
Interrupt:
read address 0x60 to get status(status = 0Cxx or 0Exx
bytes = 1, idle = 1, bad fcs = 0 or 1)
read address 0x58 if desired (FCS bytes 1 and 2)

3.2 Control Register Overview
Table 3-2 lists the 52 control registers of the CN8223. Control registers are realized as latches within the
CN8223 and are programmed by a write operation from the microprocessor. No initialization is provided for
operational purposes. All registers must be initialized as required for each application by the microprocessor. A
reset signal on the RESET pin (pin 118) resets counters and framer state machines. RESET does not affect
control register contents.
Control bits that do not have a defined function are reserved and must be written to 0. All control registers
can be read to verify contents, except those control bits whose functions cause single events and are, therefore,
not latched.
Control registers in this section have been ordered by function: 7 control configurations, 19 control
transmitter functions, 22 control receiver functions, and 4 enable interrupts.

Transmit Alarm
Control
Controls the generation of alarms for 57-octet PLCPs and internal framers. No
alarms are transmitted if all bits in this control field are set to 0. Setting any of these
bits to a 1 causes an alarm to be transmitted according to Table 3-4 and Table 3-5.
For example, in STS-3c mode, setting bit 4 to a 1 will cause the Line AIS alarm to be
transmitted.
Overhead Control
Selectively disables overhead generation. Standard overhead is generated internally
if all bits in this control field are set to 0. Overhead sources for all PHY modes are
given in Table 2-8. When a particular overhead field is set to be disabled, it will be
filled with 0s. Overhead generation is disabled dependent on mode, according to the
data in Table 3-6.

Line Loopback
Enables a loopback of the incoming receive data and clock to the transmit data and
clock outputs. The receive data is still processed by the receiver circuitry. Invert TX
Clock Output (bit 7) is functional in this mode to allow inversion of the looped clock
at TCLKO (or TCLKO_HS ). Line Loopback is not functional for TAXI or external
framer modes. Upon a hardware RESET (pin 118), this bit will be cleared (set to 0).

Invert RX Clock
Sampling
Selects the edge of the receive clock input where the incoming receive data is
sampled. When this bit is low, the incoming data on RXIN (or RXIN_HS ) is
sampled by the falling edge of RXCKI (or RXCKI_HS ). When this bit is high, the
incoming data is sampled on the rising edge. This bit must be set for operation in
TAXI mode.

centered on the relevant data outputs. When this bit is high, the rising edge of
TCLKO (or TCLKO_HS ) will be centered on the data outputs.
For DS3 and G.751
E3 PLCP modes:
Force Nibble
If this bit is low, 13/14 nibble stuffing is performed in DS3 and G.751 E3 PLCP
modes. Stuffing is performed to synchronize the transmit PLCP with either the
external 8 kHz frame reference or the receive PLCP framer, depending on the setting
of External 8 kHz Timing in the CONFIG_1 register.
Stuffing
If this bit is high, the transmitter PLCP framing is allowed to free-run to an
internally generated 8 k frame rate when no clock is available from the 8 kHz input
or the receive PLCP framer. This bit is ignored in modes that do not perform nibble
stuffing.

STM-1 modes: Tx
Overhead Control
In STS-3c and STM-1 modes, this bit determines whether Transmit Overhead bytes
G1, K2#1, and Z2#3 are input from the Transmit Overhead bus or are internally
generated.
When this bit is set to 0 the following are internally generated:
•
G1-Path FEBE/RDI—Path FEBE is automatically generated in response to
Path BIP errors.
•
•
•
Path RDI (yellow alarm) is inserted according to CONFIG_5, bits 2 and 3.
K2#1—Line FERF is transmitted by setting CONFIG_2 bit 5 to a 1.
Z2#3—Line FEBE alarm is transmitted automatically in response to Line
BIP errors.
When this bit is set to 1, these bytes are obtained from the external TXOVH bus.

The TX_RATE_23 register is located at address 0x08. Each 8-bit field controls the maximum transmission rate
for ports 3 or 2. These fields are used to control the percentage of the total line rate allocated to each of the four
FIFO transmit ports. Setting these fields to 0 stops transmission on the port. Setting to 0xFF allows the
maximum available rate. Transmit rate control is described in Section 2.7.3.

Enables status output in 53-octet mode on port 3. See Section 2.6, for additional
information. When this bit is high, the HEC octet position in the FIFO output data is
omitted and a status word is appended to the end of the cell as octet number 53. In
53-octet cell formats, if status output is enabled with this bit, none of the other
ports should be programmed for 53-octet output.

0x1D–0x24—HDR_MSKx_12, HDR_MSKx_34 (Receive Header Mask Register)
The Receive Header Mask registers for port x (where x can be 0 to 3) are located at addresses 0x1D–0x24.
These registers modify the ATM cell screen in the Receive Header Value register. Setting a bit in the Mask
register causes the corresponding bit in the received ATM cell header to be disregarded for screening. For
example, setting HDR_MSK0_12, bit 0 to 1 causes ATM cells to be accepted to port 0 with either 1 or 0 in the
octet 1, bit 0 position. Combinations of Receive Header Mask bits can select groups of ATM VPI/VCIs for each
of the four ports. The same cells can be sent to more than one port. Setting all bits to 1s overrides the contents of
the Receive Header Value register. HDR_MSKx Register addresses are listed in Table 3-10.

3.7 Status Register Overview
There are four status registers, as defined in Table 3-11. Status registers are read-only. Some of the status
registers will be cleared when read, or have separate clear functions. The status indications can interrupt the
microprocessor if the corresponding bit is set in an Interrupt Enable Control register (Section 3.6). The interrupt
appears on the STAT_INT pin (pin 64).

3.0 Registers
ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
3.7 Status Register Overview
0x38—LINE_STATUS (Line Framer/PHY Interrupt Status Register)
The LINE_STATUS register is located at address 0x38. Bit definitions for this register depend on the line
interface mode selected. LINE_STATUS indicates alarms, errors, and framing states of the CN8223 line
receivers. For 53-octet formats that use external framers or the parallel input, the only meaningful bit is the LOC
indication (bit 8). LINE_STATUS interrupts appear on STAT_INT, if they are enabled by writing the desired
bits in EN_LINE_INT. LINE_STATUS bits are set regardless of whether interrupts are enabled.
Each LINE_STATUS bit is latched until read and then cleared if the condition is no longer present. If a status
condition clears before the register is read, the status bit will still be held. Current status can be obtained by
reading the register twice in succession. Upper and lower bytes of LINE_STATUS operate differently in regard
to interrupt generation. Upper definitions of LINE_STATUS (bits 15–9) are events that generate an interrupt
when the event occurs (for example, if Line FERF [bit 9] in STS-3c mode occurs, a single interrupt will be
generated when the Line FERF occurs).
The lower definitions of LINE_STATUS (bits 8–0) are level-sensitive conditions, meaning interrupts occur
on any change of state. For example, when LOS occurs in STS-3c mode, an interrupt occurs. When LOS goes
away, a second interrupt occurs. The contents of the LINE_STATUS register are the logical OR of the status
event, for instance, OOF and STAT_INT line. In SONET/SDH or G.832 E3/E4 modes, bits 9, 12, and 13 also
become level-sensitive.
Two examples of this are given:
Example 1: If the line is disconnected, the OOF interrupt goes active. Reading the LINE_STATUS
register causes the STAT_INT line (pin 64) to go inactive. Reading the LINE_STATUS
register again continues to show the OOF condition that caused the interrupt. Reconnecting
the line causes another interrupt. Reading the LINE_STATUS register will cause the
STAT_INT line to go inactive and show OOF active. (OOF will show active because the
contents of LINE_STATUS are the logical OR of OOF and the STAT_INT line. See
waveform in Figure 3-1.) Reading the LINE_STATUS register again will show OOF
inactive.
Example 2: If the line is disconnected, OOF will again go active. If you reconnect the line before the
LINE_STATUS register is read, the STAT_INT line will go active. Reading the
LINE_STATUS register will show OOF active and cause STAT_INT line to go inactive.
Reading LINE_STATUS register again will show OOF in the inactive state because the line
was reconnected.
Table 3-12 lists STS-1, STS-3c, and STM-1 LINE_STATUS bit definitions.

3.8 Event/Error Counters
The 24 counters to count line and interface events or errors are summarized in Table 3-18 and explained in
Tables 3-20 through Table 3-24. The first nine (addresses 0x40–0x48) provide counts of error events from the
line or PHY framers. The events that are counted depend on the mode of operation and are summarized in
Table 3-19. The remaining counters provide counts of ATM cell events.
Counters 5–9 can be programmed to count block errors instead of individual errors for BIP and FEBE status
by setting Count Block Errors (bit 11) in CONFIG_3. This provides support for G.826 performance monitoring.
Register summary cheat sheets are illustrated in Figures 3-2 and 3-3.

4.0 Electrical and Mechanical
Specifications
This chapter discusses the electrical specifications of the CN8223, such as power
requirements, temperature ranges, DC characteristics and timing. A mechanical
drawing is included.
4.1 Power Requirements and Temperature
Range
The CN8223 meets all specifications over a temperature range of –40 °C to 85 °C
and input voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. The maximum current required for
the circuit in operation is estimated at 300 mA (at 155 MHz). The thermal
characteristics of the 160-pin PQFP are 51.9 °C for θJA (Still Air) and 37.1 °C for
θJA (Air Flow 400 LFPM).

4.2 DC Characteristics
ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
4.2 DC Characteristics
All input and bidirectional pins have input thresholds compatible with CMOS
drive levels except those labeled as xxxHS . Leakage current for each pin is less
than 10 µA in any state. This device should be handled as an ESD-sensitive
device. Voltage on any signal pin that exceeds the power supply voltage by more
than +0.5 V can induce destructive latchup.
At V
= 0.4 V and V
= 2.4 V, all output and bidirectional pins
OL(max)
OL(min)
have drive current I = 4 mA and I = – 4 mA except for TXOUT[0] and
OL
OH
TCLKO, which are 8 mA drivers. The interrupt output pins are open drain and
require external pull-up resistors. All output and bidirectional pins (except those
labeled xxxHS ) have CMOS drive levels and can be used with CMOS or TTL
logic.
The RXCKI_HS , TXCKI_HS , and RXIN_HS inputs are differential
PECL level inputs for use in E4 and STS-3c/STM-1 modes. These inputs are
automatically selected in these modes and have input thresholds of V – 1.3 V.
dd
The PECL inputs should have V = 3.4 V and V = 4.0 V. The TXOUT_HS
IL
IH
and TCLKO_HS outputs are differential PECL outputs for use in E4 and
STS-3c/STM-1 modes. The “HS ” outputs are active at all times and should be
used (in E4 or STS-3c/STM-1 modes) in place of the TXOUT[0] and TCLKO
outputs, respectively. The “non-HS ” outputs are automatically disabled in E4 or
STS-3c/STM-1 modes to reduce switching noise injection into the IC. The
switching threshold is at 3.7 V with a V
of 3.3 V (driver off with external
OL(max)
resistor termination) and V
of 4.1 V (driver on).
OH(min)
All timing measurements in the following tables are with 20 pF loading on the
output pins.

Appendix A: Transmit FIFO Port Rates
This appendix describes the arbitration mechanism used to control and prioritize
the Transmit FIFO port rate. The CN8223 has two options for its ATM layer
interface: UTOPIA or FIFO mode. UTOPIA mode is discussed in the body of the
data sheet. FIFO mode provides four bidirectional ports. Since they operate
independently, multiple ports may attempt to send data during the same cell slot.
When these collisions occur, the CN8223 implements an arbitration mechanism
to select which port will transmit data.
The CN8223 combines rate control and priority when selecting a port. First,
the rate control circuit determines the eligibility of the port. Then the CN8223
arbitrates between eligible ports on a priority basis. This entire process is repeated
for each cell slot. A cell which has lost arbitration due to priority may still be
determined ineligible for transmission during the next interval.
The priority and rate setting of a channel must not be changed once
transmission has begun. This will cause unpredictable behavior. It could cause a
port to stop transmitting. Users can change both priority and rate for ports during
an “idle” interval. During such an interval, all ports, including unused ports,
should assert FIFO empty flags.
A.1 Rate Control
The CN8223 provides a rate control mechanism to establish fairness. As
described in the specification, each port is assigned a maximum rate through a
register. This rate is based on a 256-cell slot interval. Each port can be allowed to
transmit on a percentage of these cell slots. This is accomplished by assigning a
rate between 0 and 255 in the TX_RATE_xx register. A rate of 0 inhibits
transmission on a port, while a rate of 255 allows transmission in any slot. This
rate establishes an upper bound on an individual port’s rate. It does not guarantee
a rate for ports sharing a priority with, or at a lower priority than, other active
ports.
Table A-1 lists thresholds for each port’s TX_RATE value. In a given cell slot,
these thresholds are compared with the TX_RATE_xx register for the port. If the
TX_RATE value is greater than or equal to the threshold, then the port is eligible
to transmit in that slot. Otherwise, it is ineligible. Note that each port is unique in
its transmission characteristics for a given TX_RATE value. For instance, with a
TX_RATE setting of 127 (50 %), Port 0 will be eligible for eight cells, then
ineligible for eight cells. Port 3 will be eligible every other cell. Both ports may
transmit on 50 % of the cell slots, but the burst length varies.

A.2 Port Priority
ATM Transmitter/Receiver with UTOPIA Interface
A.2 Port Priority
The user can define a priority for each port. This priority can range from 0 to 3,
with 0 being the highest priority. A higher priority port will always preempt one
with a lower priority. This priority is programmable for each register in bits 3–2 of
the CELL_GEN_X register.
The user can configure multiple ports to be the same priority. Within the
lowest priority, arbitration is on a “round-robin” basis. For example, if Port 0 is
carrying CBR signals it should be assigned the highest priority. Ports 1 and 2,
carrying less jitter-sensitive data, can be programmed to a lower priority. Port 0
will preempt Ports 1 and 2 when data is available. As long as both ports have data
available, Ports 1 and 2 will alternate transmission in slots where Port 0 is not
active.
Only the lowest priority ports should share a priority. Round-robin scheduling
may break down for multiple ports sharing a priority above a lower priority port.
If the CN8223 has been transmitting at priority 1, and a priority 0 port preempts
this transmission; that priority 0 port will not share the channel with other ports. It
will continue winning arbitration until it no longer has data available. At that
time, another priority 0 or lower priority channels will be allowed to transmit.
A.3 Summary
The CN8223’s transmit rate shaping is controlled via a user-assigned priority and
rate for each FIFO port. The CN8223 scheduling attempts to provide a fair
arbitration algorithm and to limit burst transmission by a single channel on the
line. A system designer should consider each data stream’s characteristics when
choosing the port, priority, and rate to assign.
