TRIPLEPORTPHY(PHYSICALLAYER)FOR25.6
AND 51.2 MBPS ATM NETWORKS
IDT77V1253
The 77V1253 is based on the 77105, and maintains significant register
compatibilitywithit.The77V1253,however,hasadditionalregisterfeatures,

is an 8-bit muxed address and data bus, controlled by a conventional
asynchronousread/writehandshake.
77V1253OVERVIEW:
The77V1253isathree-portimplementationofthephysicallayerstandard
for 25.6Mbps ATM network communications as defined by ATM Forum
document af-phy-040.000 and ITU-T I.432.5. The physical layer is divided
intoaPhysicalMediaDependentsublayer(PMD)andTransmissionConver-
gence (TC) sub layer. The PMD sub layer includes the functions for the
transmitter, receiverandclockrecoveryforoperationacross 100meters of
category3unshieldedtwistedpair(UTP)cable.ThisisreferredtoastheLine
Side Interface. The TC sub layer defines the line coding, scrambling, data
framingandsynchronization.

OPERATIONAT51.2Mbps
Inadditiontooperationatthestandardrateof25.6Mbps,the77V1253is
alsospecifiedtooperateat51.2Mbps. Exceptforthedoubledbitrate,allother
aspects of operation are identical to the 25.6 Mbps mode. The data rate is
determinedbythefrequencyoftheclockappliedtotheOSCinput. OSCis32
MHz for the 25.6 Mbps line rate, and 64 MHz for the 51.2 Mbps line rate. All
portsoperateatthesamefrequency.
Onthe otherside, the 77V1253interfaces toanATMlayerdevice (such

bit Utopia Level 1 Multi-PHY, 16-bit Utopia Level 2, or as three 4-bit DPI
