Clause 49 comments
1. Figure 49-4--" PCS Receive Bit Ordering".
I think the direction arrows should be :
from Serial transmission order --> rx_data_unit<15>,
from rx_data_unit<0> ----> the left side of "Gearbox",
from the right side of "Gearbox" ----> RxB<65> (the right
side of "Receive block"),
from bit0 of S0 ----> Descrambler ----> bit7 of D7(the
right side of Ouput of descramblerfunction).
2. Figure 49-8--"Lock state machine" .
a. I think come out of the state "SLIP", you should reset the
64frames_timer and 125us_timer. Because in the
"SLIP" state and the states before "SLIP", mt_inalid_cnt and
hi_ber_cnt should not be carried over.
b. The condition for the "NO_FRAME_LOCK" --> "SLIP", I think it's
better to use !mt_valid, rather than
"bad_mt_gt_32=true", we can acquire Frame_Lock much faster.
3. Figure 49-9--"BER Monitor State Machine"
a. This diagram is not clear.
I think "M1" should not be an independent state. Assume using
frame clock toimplement, that means every
clock you need to see if "mt_valid" is true or false, then M1
and M2, or M1 and M3 must happend in a
single clock. Further, mt_valid = true or false,
64frames_time_done and 125us_timer_done, these 3 events
could happend at the same clock, that means M2, M3, M4 and M5
can not be independent state.
b. I think there is no need for mt_valid_cnt. Because you already
have mt_invalid_cnt and 64frames_timer,
when 64frames_timer_done, mt_invalid_cnt==0 means good_mt_eq_64
= true.
c. My suggestion:
if ((mt_invalid_cnt == 32) && (!mt_valid)), then set
bad_mt_gt_32 = true, reset 64frames_timer, reset
mt_invalid_cnt.
if ((hi_ber== 15) &&(!mt_valid)), then set hi_ber=true, reset
125us_timer, reset hi_ber_cnt.
