Head of Line Blocking Avoidance
The internal Cell Handler Unit accepts any cell from the common UTOPIA receive FIFO
to either accept the cell or discard the cell depending on threshold decisions. Thus, no
HOL blocking can occur. Optionally, internal thresholds can be enabled to generate
backpressure to UTOPIA port groups in a fixed scheme:
• Threshold 0 effects ports {0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44}
• Threshold 1 effects ports {1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, 33, 37, 41, 45}
• Threshold 2 effects ports {2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34, 38, 42, 46}
• Threshold 3 effects ports {3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31, 35, 39, 43, 47}
In case of pending backpressure, a specific port reacts in the same way as being

• Master Mode:
• Slave Mode:
Note: The internal backpressure does only effect the polling/response scheme. The

The UTOPIA transmit interface supports up to 48 PHY addresses that can be individually
enabled.
In Master Mode, 48 PHYs are supported in four groups (4*12 scheme).
In Slave configuration, two polling modes are supported:
• Up to 48 Ports in 4 groups (4*12 scheme)
• Up to 31 Ports in 1 group (1*31 scheme)
Note: In Slave Mode, the interface responds to all enabled port addresses in either
A cell buffer pool of 64 cells is provided for UTOPIA port specific queues. The number of
enabled ports determines the queue length that can be configured. At least one cell
buffer per queue is provided.
Data Sheet
A backpressured (or disabled) port is deleted from the polling scheme.
A backpressured (or disabled) port does not generate a cell available signal indication.
UTOPIA receive FIFO is served in any case to avoid HOL blocking.
