Synthesis and Simulation Support:
UTOPIA (Universal Test and Operations PHY Interface for ATM) level 3 defines the interface between the ATM or LINK layer and a Physical Layer (PHY) device. The UTOPIA level 3 standard defines a full duplex interface with a Master/Slave format. The Slave or LINK layer device responds to the requests from the PHY or Master device. The Master performs PHY arbitration and initiates data transfers to and from the Slave. The ATM forum has defined the UTOPIA Level 3 as either 8 or 32 bits in width, at up to 104 MHz, supporting an OC48 channel at 2.5 Gbps. -- Synthesis: Synplicity(R) -- Simulation: ModelSim(R) -- Other tools supported upon request
Verification:
-- Test Bench -- Test Vectors
Functional Description
This core conforms to the appropriate standard(s). In general, standards do not define the internal user interface, only the external interfaces and protocols. Therefore, Avnet Memec has created a simple FIFO interface to this core for easy user connectivity. This document describes this Avnet Memec created interface. Please consult the appropriate standards document for all external signaling. TOP_MASTER This is the top level of the core. Its only purpose is to serve as a container to instantiate the Ingress and Egress modules. Egress Master The egress master is responsible for polling the PHYs and internal queues in order to send cells to the slave device. Ingress/Egress FIFO The FIFO contains the RAM FIFO and the pointer processing blocks. The FIFO operates in synchronous and asynchronous systems. The FIFO contains additional logic to implement a SOC-SOC pointer reset. There is one FIFO per PHY polled. Ingress Master The Ingress master is responsible for polling the PHYs and internal queues in order to accept cells from the slave device.

Verification and Compliance
The testbench is self-checking, which means that if there is an error detected in the start word, end word, or payload the testbench will assert one or both of two error signals. The test checks for errors at two stages in the testbench: when the cells (packets) are looped back through the PHY device (SIG_LOOP_ERROR_OUT), and upon reading out of the link device (SIG_ERROR_OUT). This core has also been used successfully in customer designs.

Timing
Since the ATM Forum specification fully defines the line side of the UTOPIA Level 3 interface, timing for that is not replicated here. Instead, only user (FIFO) interface timing information is presented here. The figure below shows the functional timing for FIFO reads and writes.

Recommended Design Experience
For the source version, users should be familiar with HDL entry and Actel design flows. Users should be familiar with Actel Libero Integrated Design Environment (IDE) and preferably with Synplify and ModelSim.
