The implementation must guarantee that all active
SLR_Valid signals must be separated by at least 8
clock cycles. Refer to Figure 20. The SLR_FRAME
signals are asserted when the first pair of bits of a
frame are transferred. For the fast channel a frame
is defined as a superframe timebase.
For the interleaved channel the frame is defined
by a timebase period of 4 superframes. Both
timebases are synchronized to the data flow.
Transmit SLAP Interface
The Transmit interface uses the following signals
(refer to Figure 21):
– SLT_REQ: byte request.
– SLT_FRAME: start of frame indication.
– SLT_DATA [1:0] data pins, a byte is transferred
2 bits at the time in 4 successive clock cycles.
MSB first, odd bits on SLT_DATA [1].
The logical timing diagram is shown in Figure 22.
The delay between Request and the associated
data byte is defined as 8 cycles.
The SLT_FRAME signals are asserted when the
first pair of bits of a frame are transferred. For the
fast channel a frame is defined as a superframe
timebase.
For the interleaved channel the frame is defined
by a timebase period of 4 superframes.

Transmit SLAP Interface Timing Diagram
Both timebases are synchronized to the data flow
and guarantee that the frame indication is
asserted when the first bits of the first DMT
symbol are transferred.
