the memory and maintaining the memory read and write pointers. The Receive Data Storage accepts data and
data status from the Receive Trace ID Processor, stores the data in memory, and maintains data status
information. The data is read from the Receive Data Storage via the microprocessor interface. The Receive Data
Storage contains the current trail trace identifier, the receive trail trace identifier, and the expected trail trace
identifier.
10.9 FEAC Controller
10.9.1 General Description
The FEAC Controller demaps FEAC codewords from a DS3/E3 data stream in the receive direction and maps
FEAC codewords into a DS3/E3 data stream in the transmit direction. The transmit direction demaps FEAC
codewords from a DS3/E3 data stream.
The receive direction performs FEAC processing, and stores the codewords in the FIFO using line timing. It
removes the codewords from the FIFO and outputs them to the microprocessor via the register interface.
The transmit direction inputs codewords from the microprocessor via the register interface and stores the
codewords. It removes the codewords and performs FEAC processing. See

10.9.3 Functional Description
The bits in a code are received MSB first, LSB last. When they are output serially, they are output MSB first, LSB
last. The bits in a code in an incoming signal are numbered in the order they are received, 1 (MSB) to 6 (LSB).
However, when a code is stored in a register, the MSB is stored in the lowest numbered bit (0), and the LSB is
Clock Rate
Programmable dual codeword output – The transmit side can be programmed to output a single codeword
ten times, one codeword ten times followed by a second codeword ten times, or a single codeword
continuously.
Four codeword receive FIFO
Fully independent transmit and receive paths
Fully independent Line side and register side timing – The FIFO can be read from or written to at the
register interface side while all line side clocks and signals are inactive, and read from or written to at the line
side while all register interface side clocks and signals are inactive.
