6 MAJOR OPERATIONAL MODES
The major operational modes are determined by the FM[2:0] framer mode bits and a few other control bits. Unused
features are powered down and the data paths are held in reset. The configuration registers of the unused features
can be written to and read from. The function of some IO pins change in different operational modes. The line
interface operational mode is determined by the LM[2:0] bits.
6.1 DS3/E3 SCT Mode
This mode is for standard operation that uses the device in the single chip transceiver mode. It utilizes the
framer/formatter as well as the transmit/receive LIU.
