Abstract:
1. A method, comprising of: controlling cell transmission on a basis of 1-byte between first-in-first-outs of a universal test and operations physical layer interface for asynchronous transfer mode interface in a cell-level handshaking mode by activating a receive cell available signal at a first clock edge when a receive first-in-first-out of Universal Test and Operations Physical layer Interface for an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (UTOPIA) interface has a storage space for data having a length greater than one byte, when a transmit first-in-first-out of Universal Test and Operations Physical layer Interface for an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (UTOPIA) interface is a master and the receive first-in-first-out is a slave; latching, at the transmit first-in-first-out, the activated receive cell available signal from a second clock edge immediately following the first clock edge; activating a transmit enable signal, when the transmit first-in-first-out stores more than 1-byte cell for transmission; and activating a receive enable signal.
