31.13 AAL1 CES Exceptions
There are four circular interrupt queues available for each channel. The interrupt queue number is
programmed in RCT[INTQ] and TCT[INTQ]. Events can be masked by clearing interrupt mask bits in the
RCT and TCT.
When one of the AAL1 channels generates an interrupt request, the CP writes a new entry to the table
consisting of the channel’s number and a description of the exception. The valid (V) bit is then set and
INTQ_PTR is incremented. When INTQ_PTR reaches the entry in which W is set, it returns to the first
entry of the queue. Each one-word entry provides detailed interrupt information to the host. More details
can be found in Section 29.11, “ATM Exceptions.”

31.13.1 AAL1 CES Interrupt Queue Entry

The figure below shows an interrupt queue entry.
The table below describes interrupt queue entry fields.
0x02 DL The number of octets the ATM controller should transmit from this BD’s buffer. It is not
modified by the CP. The value of DL should be greater than zero.
0x04 TXDBPTR Tx data buffer pointer. Points to the address of the associated buffer. The buffer may
reside in either internal or external memory. This value is not modified by the CP.

0 This interrupt queue entry is free and can be use by the CP.
1 This interrupt queue entry is valid. The host should read this interrupt and clear this
bit.
1—
2 W Wrap bit. When set, this is the last interrupt circular table entry. During initialization, the
host must clear all W bits in the table except the last one, which must be set.
3–7 — —
8SLIPE Slip End.Set when an AAL1 channel exits a slip state (the channel’s adaptive counter
reaches the ATM_Start threshold and the ATM channel regains its SYNC). At this
point the receiver starts to receive the incoming cells. See Section31.6, “3-Step-SN
Algorithm.”
Note that this interrupt can be masked with RCT[SLIPIM=0]. See Section31.9.1,
“Receive Connecti on Table (RCT).” This interrupt has an associated channel code.
