Note:
The “TxPOHIns_n” line (in Figure 52) is “dashed” because controlling this signal is not necessary if the user has
executed “STEP 1” above.
Whenever the “external circuit” samples both the “TxPOHEnable_n” and “TxPOHFrame_n” output pins
“high”, then it should enter a “WAIT STATE” (e.g., where it will wait for 32 periods of “TxPOHClk_n” to
elapse). Afterwards, the external circuit should exit this “WAIT STATE” and then place the very first bit (e.g.,
the most significant bit) of the “outbound” F2 byte onto the “TxPOH_n” input pin, upon the very next falling
edge of “TxPOHClk_n”. This data bit will be sampled and latched into the “Transmit SONET POH Processor”
block circuitry, upon the very next rising edge of “TxPOHClk_n”.
Note:
This “WAIT STATE” period is necessary because the F2 byte is the fifth byte within the POH.
Afterwards, the “external circuit” should serially place the remaining seven bits (of the F2 byte) onto the
“TxPOH_n” input pin, upon each of the next seven falling edges of “TxPOHClk_n”.
The “external circuit” should then revert back to continuously sampling the states of the “TxPOHEnable_n”
and “TxPOHFrame_n” output pins and repeat the above-mentioned process.

SUPPORT/HANDLING OF THE H4 BYTE
The Transmit SONET POH Processor block permits the user to control the value of the H4 byte by either of
the following options.
Setting and controlling the “outbound” H4 Byte via Software
Setting and controlling the “outbound” H4 Byte via the “TxPOH Input Port”
The details and instructions for using either or these features are presented below.
2.2.8.3.7.1
Setting and Controlling the Outbound H4 Byte via Software
The Transmit SONET POH Processor block permits the user to specify the contents of the H4 byte, within the
“outbound” STS-1 SPE via software command.
The user can configure the Transmit SONET POH Processor block to accomplish this by performing the
following steps.
