Access and Monitoring for National (Sa) Bits (E1 mode only)
In addition to the datalink functions, the Sa bits can be accessed using:
Single byte register
Five byte transmit and receive national bit buffers
A maskable interrupt is generated on the change of state of any Sa bit
Three Embedded Floating HDLCs (HDLC0, HDLC1, HDLC2)
Successive writes/reads can be made to the transmit/receive FIFOs at 160 ns or 80ns intervals
Flag generation and Frame Check Sequence (FCS) generation and detection, zero insertion and
deletion
Continuous flags, or continuous 1s are transmitted between frames
Transmit frame-abort
Transmit end-of-packet after a programmable number of bytes (up to 65,536 bytes)
Invalid frame handling:
Frames yielding an incorrect FCS are tagged as bad packets
Frames with fewer than 25 bits are ignored
Frames with fewer than 32 bits between flags are tagged as bad packets
Frames interrupted by a Frame-Abort sequence remain in the FIFO and an interrupt is generated
Access is provided to the receive FCS
FCS generation can be inhibited for terminal adaptation
Recognizes single byte, dual byte and all call addresses
Independent, 16-128 byte deep transmit and receive FIFOs
Receive FIFO maskable interrupts for near full (programmable levels) and overflow conditions
Transmit FIFO maskable interrupts for nearly empty (programmable levels) and underflow conditions
Maskable interrupts for transmit end-of-packet and receive end-of-packet
Maskable interrupts for receive bad-frame (includes frame abort)
Transmit-to-receive and receive-to-transmit loopbacks are provided
Transmit and receive bit rates and enables are independent
Frame aborts can be sent under software control and they are automatically transmitted in the event of
a transmit FIFO underrun
T1/J1 Mode
E1 Mode
Three methods are provided to access the
datalink:
1. TxDL and RxDL pins support transmit and
receive datalinks
2. Bit Oriented Messages are supported via
internal registers
3. An internal HDLC can be assigned to transmit/
receive over the FDL in ESF mode
Two methods are provided to access the
datalink:
1. TxDL and RxDL pins support transmit and
receive datalinks over the Sa4~Sa8 bits
2
.
An internal HDLC can be assigned to transmit/
receive data via the Sa4~Sa8 bits
In transparent mode, if the Sa4 bit is used for
an intermediate datalink, the CRC-4
remainder can be updated to reflect changes
to the Sa4 bit
