FCC1: UTOPIA Master Transmit Enable
In the ATM UTOPIA interface supported by FCC1, TXENB
is asserted by the MSC8101 (UTOPIA master PHY) when
there is valid transmit cell data (TXD[0–7]).
FCC1: UTOPIA Slave Transmit Enable
In the ATM UTOPIA interface supported by FCC1, TXENB
is asserted by an external UTOPIA master PHY when there
is valid transmit cell data (TXD[0–7]).
FCC1: Media Independent Interface Collision Detect
In the MII interface supported by FCC1, COL is asserted by
an external fast Ethernet PHY.

FCC1: UTOPIA Slave Transmit Cell Available
In the ATM UTOPIA interface supported by FCC1, TXCLAV
is asserted by the MSC8101 (UTOPIA slave PHY) when the
MSC8101 can accept one complete ATM cell.
FCC1: UTOPIA Master Transmit Cell Available
In the ATM UTOPIA interface supported by FCC1, TXCLAV
is asserted by an external UTOPIA slave PHY to indicate
that it can accept one complete ATM cell.
FCC1: UTOPIA Master Transmit Cell Available
Multi-PHY Direct Polling
In the ATM UTOPIA interface supported by FCC1,
TXCLAV0 is asserted by an external UTOPIA slave PHY
using direct polling to indicate that it can accept one
complete ATM cell.
FCC1: Request To Send
In the standard modem interface signals supported by
FCC1 (RTS, CTS, and CD). RTS is asynchronous with the
data. RTS is typically used in conjunction with CD. The
MSC8101 FCC1 transmitter requests the receiver to send
data by asserting RTS low. The request is accepted when
CTS is returned low.
FCC1: Media Independent Interface Carrier Sense
In the MII interface supported by FCC1. CRS is asserted by
an external fast Ethernet PHY. It indicates activity on the
cable.
