FEATURES
• Monolithic Saturn Network Interface that implements the ATM physical layer
for Broadband ISDN according to the ATM Forum User Network Interface
Specification and CCITT Recommendation I.432.
• Operates at 155.52 MHz in conjunction with an external clock and data
recovery device. Provides on-chip parallel to serial and serial to parallel
circuits with pseudo ECL interfaces to process a duplex 155.52 Mbit/s STS-
3c/STM-1 data stream.
• Supports a 19.44 Mbyte/s line interface option for devices requiring a byteserial STS-3c/STM-1 interface.
• Provides 4 cell deep FIFO buffers in both transmit and receive paths with a
byte-wide or word-wide system side datapath interface.
• Provides a generic 8-bit microprocessor bus interface for configuration,
control, and status monitoring.
• Provides a standard 5 signal P1149.1 JTAG test port for boundary scan board
test purposes.
• Low power, +5 Volt, CMOS technology.
• 160 pin high performance plastic quad flat pack (PQFP) package.
