User Manual
bypass option can be activated to remove an 8-bit delay
register from the data path that is required if the
possibility of turning on the encoder exists. Each of the
external (user) input control pins (if enabled) turns on
the encoding function when high and bypasses the
function when low.
The TXDATAENI input signal determines whether or
not data will advance (shift through) the encoding
blocks. The presence of a high on the TXDATAENI
input when the TXBITCLK output goes low allows the
circuits to advance data through them. The
TXDATAENI signal is delayed internally to allow the
rising edge of TXDATAENI to coincide with the first
rising edge of TXTCLK.

Scrambler
The scrambler can be used to randomize the serial data
in order to avoid a strong spectral component that
might otherwise arise from the occurrence of repeating
patterns in the input data. The Scrambler (Figure 26)
uses a Pseudo-Random (PN) generator to
generate a PN code pattern. All 24 registers are
presettable and any combination of the registers can be
connected (tapped) to form any polynomial of up to 24
bits. The scrambler may be either frame synchronized
or self synchronized. Table 35 shows the registers
involved.
