Supports JTAG boundary scan test (IEEE 1149.1).

The m PD98411 NEASCOT-P40 is one of ATM-LAN LSIs and provides the functions of the TC sublayer of the SONET/SDH-base physical layer of the ATM protocol specified by the ATM Forum.  Its main functions include a transmission function to map an ATM cell passed from an ATM layer to the payload of 155M-bps SONET STS-3c/SDH STM-1 frame and transmit the cell to the PMD (Physical Media Dependent) sublayer of the physical layer, and a reception function to separate the overhead and ATM cell from the data string received from the PMD device and transmit the ATM cell to the ATM layer.  The m PD98411 NEASCOT-P40 combines these transmission/reception functions into a port function that is realized as a single 4-port LSI chip.  This LSI is ideally suited for use in the ATM hubs, ATM switches, and other equipment used to configure an ATM network.

In addition, the m PD98411 also has a clock recovery function for each port to extract synchronous clock for reception of receive data from the bit stream, and a clock synthesis function to generate a clock for transmission.
