<p>A SONET path/ATM physical layer transmit/receive processor ASIC for OC-48 makes use of a 32-bit wide interface between a source/destination and the rest of the processor. Adjacent the interface is an ATM cell processor, and between the ATM cell processor and a transmission medium is a SONET payload processor. Selectors are located between the transmission medium and the SONET payload processor, the SONET payload processor and the ATM cell processor, and the ATM cell processor and the interface so that the processor provides a SONET path, a SONET path/ATM physical layer path, an ATM physical layer path or a fast FIFO buffer path according to the configuration of the selectors determined by user commands from a command logic circuit coupled to each of the interface, ATM cell processor and the SONET payload processor. <IMAGE></p> |
