MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACE BLOCK
The Microprocessor Interface section supports communication between the local microprocessor (µP) and the
Framer/LIU combo. The XRT86VL38 supports an Intel asynchronous interface, Motorola 68K asynchronous,
and a Motorola Power PC interface. The microprocessor interface is selected by the state of the PTYPE[2:0]
input pins. Selecting the microprocessor interface is shown in Table 3.
The XRT86VL38 uses multipurpose pins to configure the device appropriately. The local µP configures the
Framer/LIU by writing data into specific addressable, on-chip Read/Write registers. The microprocessor
interface provides the signals which are required for a general purpose microprocessor to read or write data
into these registers. The microprocessor interface also supports polled and interrupt driven environments. A
simplified block diagram of the microprocessor is shown in Figure 2.
