34.5.1 Operating the TC Layer at Higher Frequen cies
The operation of the TC layer requires a minimum frequency ratio of 1:2.5 between the serial clock and
the UTOPIA clock (in Rx and Tx separately). Using the TC for serial frequencies greater than 10 MHz
requires using higher UTOPIA frequencies to preserve that ratio.
34.5.2 Programming a T1 Application
This section describes the configurations necessary to implement a T1 application using a single TC layer
block. Note that using two or more TCs requires FCC2 to work in MPHY mode. Assuming that the
required ATM parameters and data structures have been setup and initialized, implementing a T1
application requires the following steps:
1. Program FCC2
2. Setup I/O Ports and Clocks
3. Enable Tx/Rx on FCC2
4. Program CPM MUX
5. Program the TC block
