is necessary. So switching between both channels on line side is possible using only one signal as it is shown in
If XLT or XLT is configured, the value of the register bit XPM2.XLT and the value of XLT are logically ored to control
the transmit line side. (That means if XPA is configured as low active then the line side is in tristate mode for
tristate = XPM2.XLT or not(XPA).
Because the register bit XPM2.XLT and the Multi Function Port XPA exist individually for every channel, switching
on the line side in transmit direction can be done between channels of different or of the same QuadFALC
TM
device.
This enables a simple application using only one common board signal for switching between two channels were
both transmit channels are working in parallel (see Figure 31). While one of them is driving the line, the other one
is switched into transmit line tristate mode.
The receive system interface pins RDO, RSIG, SCLKR and RFM can be set by software into tristate mode
constantly using the register bit SIC3.RRTRI (SIC3_E). In this mode “tristate” means high impedance against V
DD
and V
SS: No internal pull up or pull down resistor is present.
Combined hardware and software controlling of the tristate mode can be done by a hardware signal if a Multi
Function Port is configured as RTDMT input . It is is proposed that the Multi Function Port RPA be used for
RTDMT, if this is the case then the PC1.RPC1(3:0) register bits must be programed, see Table 31. If RTDMT is
configured the value of the register bit SIC3.RRTRI and the value of RTDMT are logically exored.
This enables a simple application using only one common board signal for switching between two channels. While
one of them is driving the system receive interface, the other one is switched into tristate mode.
An overview about the tristate configurations of RDO, RSIG, SCLKR and RFM is given in Table 20.
Switching between both channels can be done on the system side in the receive direction by using the register bit
SIC3.RRTRI and with or without selection of the Multi Function Port as RTDMT. If the RTDMT function is selected,
the values of RTDMT and SIC3.RRTRI are logically exored. If in one channel SIC3.RRTRI is set, RTDMT is active
low because of the logical exor, and if in the other channel SIC3.RRTRI is cleared, RTDMT is active low because
of the logical exor. So switching between both channels on the system side in the receive direction is possible
using only one board signal.
For application using RLM for protection switching the XLT, XLT and RTDMT Multi Function Ports operate in
conjunction with the SIC3.RRTRI bits (SIC3_E). Switching between channels can be done together on the system
and the line side with only one common board signal, connected to XPA (XLT, XLT) and RPA (RTDMT), as shown
in Figure 31 and Table 20: If this signal has low level channel 1 is active and channel 2 is in stand-by, if it has high
level channel 1 is in stand-by and channel 2 is active.
Different line impedances require different resistor values as shown in Table 19. Both switches are always off so
that LIM0.RTRS and GPC1.MPAS must be always 0.
If both channels are configured identically and supplied with the same system data and clocks, the transmit path
can be switched from one channel to the other without causing a synchronization loss at the remote end.
