bits as a contiguous stream with arbitrary byte alignment or byte aligned to gaps in TCLK[0] is
controlled by the BSYNC bit.
E1:
The E1 frame structure select bit (E1) configures link #0 for channelised E1 operation when
CEN is set high. TCLK[0] is held quiescent during the FAS and NFAS framing bytes. The
most significant bit of time-slot 1 is placed on TD[0] on the last falling edge of TCLK[0] ahead
of the extended quiescent period. Link data is present at time-slots 1 to 31. When E1 is set
low and CEN is set high, link #0 is configured for channelised T1 operation. TCLK[0] is held
quiescent during the framing bit. The m.s.b. of time-slot 1 is placed on TD[0] on the last
falling edge of TCLK[0] ahead of the extended quiescent period. Link data is present at time-
slots 1 to 24. E1 is ignored when CEN is set low.
BSYNC:
The byte synchronisation enable bit (BSYNC) controls the interpretation of gaps in TCLK[0]
when link #0 is in unchannelised mode (CEN set low). When BSYNC is set high, the data bit
on TD[0] clocked in by a downstream device on the first rising edge of TCLK[0] after an
extended quiescent period is considered to be the most significant bit of a data byte. When
BSYNC is set quiescent , gaps in TCLK[0] carry no special significance. BSYNC is ignored
when CEN is set high.
