HSS_TXFRAME0

 

I/O

Yes

When this interface/signal is enabled and is not being used in a system design, the

 

 

 

 

 

interface/signal should be pulled high with a 10-KΩresistor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Transmit data out. Open Drain Output.

HSS_TXDATA0

 

OD

Yes

When this interface/signal is enabled and is used or not used in a system design, the

 

 

 

 

 

interface/signal should be pulled high with a 10-KΩresistor to Vcc33.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Transmit clock.

HSS_TXCLK0

 

I/O

Yes

When this interface/signal is enabled and is not being used in a system design, the

 

 

 

 

 

interface/signal should be pulled high with a 10-KΩresistor.

HSS_RXFRAME0

 

I/O

Yes

When this interface/signal is enabled and is not being used in a system design, the

 

 

 

 

 

interface/signal should be pulled high with a 10-KΩresistor.

Yes

When this interface/signal is enabled and is not being used in a system design, the

 

 

 

 

 

interface/signal should be pulled high with a 10-KΩresistor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Receive clock.

HSS_RXCLK0

 

I/O

When this interface/signal is enabled and is not being used in a system design, the

 

 

 

 

 

interface/signal should be pulled high with a 10-KΩresistor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notes:

 

 

 

 

 

1.

Features disabled/enabled by Soft Fuse must be done during the boot-up sequence. A feature cannot be enabled after

 

being disabled without asserting a system reset.

2.

Features disabled by a specific part number, do not require pull-ups or pull-downs. Therefore, all pins can be left

 

unconnected.

 

 

3.

Features Enabled by a specific part number and required to be Soft Fuse-disabled, as stated in Note 1 alone require pull-

 

ups or pull-downs in the clock-input signals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.9.2Device Connection

Figure 11 shows a typical interface between the IXP43X network processors and a SLIC CODEC, through the SSP and HSS ports, and a couple of GPIO signals.
