Figure 28-14. Transmitter Super Channel Example
In this example, data is expected to be sent on the first timeslots allocated for each superchannel. Thus for
the first superchannel, timeslot 1 has CNT=0 and BYT=1, the “first byte” condition described in
Table15-2 and the remaining timeslots that are part of this superchannel—timeslots 6 and 7, have
CNT=0x7 and BYT=1. This indicates to the MCC that when this transparent superchannel becomes active
it should begin sending data on timeslot 1. If the application required that data not be sent on this
superchannel until timeslot 7, for example, then timeslots 1 and 6 have CNT=0x7 and BYT=1 and timeslot
7 would be programmed with CNT=0 and BYT=1.
Similarly, the second superchannel in this example sends data beginning with its first timeslot, timeslot 2.
It contains the “first byte” condition of CNT=0 and BYT=1. If the application required a different timeslot
in this superchannel, either timeslot 3 or 4, that channel could be programmed to have the “first byte”
condition instead.
Figure 28-15 shows the SI RAM programming for transparent receiver superchannels which uses the slot
synchronization. This example assumes a timeslot configuration similar to the transmit example in
Figure 28-14. For this receive example, to guarantee that reception begins on the first timeslots for each
superchannel, all timeslots that correspond to superchannels are programmed as superchannelled timeslots
and the first timeslot for each superchannel is programmed with the “first byte” CNT and BYT conditions.
Note that the receive examples do not include a superchannel table be cause a superchannel table is only
used on the transmit side. Receive SIRAM entries should always be programmed using the FIFO number
