Generic Processor Interface Pins and

Functional Description

Digital interface ATM or serial

Digital

Interface

for

data

the

loop

before modulation

and

from

the

loop

after

demodulation.

This interface collects cells (from the cell based

function module) or a byte stream (from the

deframer).

Cells are stored in a fifo, 2 interfaces submodules

can extract data from the fifo.

2 kinds of interface are allowed:

– Utopia Level 1

– Utopia Level 2

The interface selection is programmed by writing

the Utopia PHY address register.

Only one interface can be enabled in a ST70235A

configuration.

Utopia Level 1 supports only one PHY device.

Utopia Level 2 supports multi-PHY devices (See

Utopia Level 2 specifications).

Each buffer provides storage for 8 ATM cells (both

directions for Fast and Interleaved channel).

The Utopia Level 2 supports point to multipoint

configurations

introducing

addressing

capability and by making distinction between

polling and selecting a device.

Figure 12 : Receive Interface

Figure 13 : Transmit Interface

Utopia Level 1 Interface

The ATM forum takes the ATM layer chip as a

reference. It defines the direction from ATM to

physical layer as the Transmit direction. The

direction from physical layer to ATM is the

Receive direction.

Figures 12 & 13 show the interconnection

between ATM and PHY layer devices, the optional

signals are not supported and not shown. The

Utopia interface transfers one byte in a single

clock cycle, as a result cells are transformed in 53

clock cycles.

Both transmit and receive are synchronized on

clocks generated by the ATM layer chip, and no

specific relationship between receive and transmit

clocks is required. In this mode, the ST70235A

can only support one data flow : either interleaved

or fast.
