Mode A is provided for all public user network interfaces (UNIs) and for private
UNIs and private network node interfaces (NNIs) that are not synchronized to the
recovered clock.
The transmit clock in a private UNI or a private NNI may be locked to an external
reference or may free-run. The simplest implementation requires an oscillator
free-running at 19.44 MHz.
Mode A is selected by clearing the LOOPT bit of the Channel Control register.
REFCLK is multiplied by 8 to become the 155.52 MHz MHz transmit clock.
REFCLK must be jitter free. The source REFCLK is also internally used as the
clock recovery reference.
Mode B is provided for private UNIs and private NNIs that require synchronization
to the recovered clock. Mode B is selected by setting the LOOPT bit of the Master
Control register. Normally, the transmit clock is locked to the receive data. In the
event of a loss of signal condition, the transmit clock is synthesized from
REFCLK.
