.UNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Frame sequence, constant throughput delay, and guaranteed minimum
delay are high priority requirements in today’s integrated data and multimedia
networks. The IDT728985 provides these functions on a per-channel basis
using a standard microprocessor control interface. Each of the eight serial lines
is designed to switch 64 Kbit/s PCM or N x 64 Kbit/s data.
In Processor Mode, the microprocessor can access the input and output time
slots to control other devices such as ISDN transceivers and trunk interfaces.
Supporting both GCI and ST-BUS

IDT728985 Time Slot Interchange
Digital Switch 256 x 256
Commercial Temperature Range
.UNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (Cont'd)
eight output (TX0-7) serial streams are provided in the IDT728985 device
allowing a complete 256 x 256 channel non-blocking switch matrix to be
constructed. The serial interface clock for the device is 4.096 MHz, as required
in ST-BUS
®
and GCI specifications.
The received serial data is internally converted to parallel by the on chip
serial-to-parallel converters and stored sequentially in a 256-position Data
Memory. By using an internal counter that is reset by the input 8 KHz frame pulse,
F0i,
the incoming serial data streams can be framed and sequentially addressed.
Depending on the type of information to be switched, the IDT728985 device
can be programmed to perform time slot interchange functions with different
throughput delay capabilities on a per-channel basis. The Variable Delay
mode, most commonly used for voice applications, can be selected ensuring
minimum throughput delay between input and output data. In Constant Delay
mode, used in multiple or grouped channel data applications, the integrity of the
information through the switch is maintained.
CONNECTION MEMORY
Data to be output on the serial streams may come from two sources: Data
Memory or Connection Memory. The Connection Memory is split into HIGH
and LOW parts and is associated with particular TX output streams. In Processor
Mode, data output on the TX streams is taken from the Connection Memory Low
and originates from the microprocessor (Figure 2). Where as in Connection
Mode (Figure 1), data is read from Data Memory and originated from the
incoming RX streams. Data destined for a particular channel on the serial output
stream is read internally during the previous channel time slot to allow time for
memory access and internal parallel-to-serial conversion.
CONNECTION MODE
In Connection Mode, the addresses of input source for all output channels
are stored in the Connection Memory Low. The Connection Memory Low
locations are mapped to corresponding 8-bit x 32-channel outputs. The contents
of the Data Memory at the selected address are then transferred to the parallel-
to-serial converters before being output. By having the output channel to specify
the input channel through the Connection Memory, the same input channel can
be broadcast to several output channels.
PROCESSOR MODE
In Processor Mode the CPU writes data to the Connection Memory Low
locations which correspond to the output link and channel number. The contents
of the Connection Memory Low are transferred to the parallel-to-serial
converter one channel before it is to be output and are transmitted each frame
to the output until it is changed by the CPU.
CONTROL
The Connection Memory High bits (Table 4) control the per-channel
functions available in the IDT728985. Output channels are selected into specific
modes such as: Processor Mode or Connection mode, Variable or Constant
throughput delay modes, Output Drivers Enabled or in three-state condition.
There is also one bit to control the state of the CCO output pin.
OUTPUT DRIVE ENABLE (ODE)
The ODE pin is the master output three-state control pin. If the ODE input
is held LOW all TDM (Time Division Multiplexed) outputs will be placed in high
impedance regardless Connection Memory High programming. However, if
ODE is HIGH, the contents of Connection Memory High control the output state
on a per-channel basis.
SERIAL INTERFACE TIMING
The IDT728985 master clock (C4i) is 4.096 MHz signal allowing serial data
link configuration at 2.048 Mb/s to be implemented. The IDT728985 can
automatically detect the presence of an input frame pulse, identify the type of
backplane present on the serial interface, and format the synchronization pulse
according to ST-BUS
®
or GCI interface specifications (active HIGH in GCI or
active LOW in ST-BUS
®
). Upon determining the correct interface Connected
to the serial port, the internal timing unit establishes the appropriate serial data
bit transmit and sampling edges. In ST-BUS
®
mode, every second falling edge
of the 4.096 MHz clock marks a boundary and the input data is clocked in by
the rising edge, three quarters of the way into the bit cell. In GCI mode every
second rising edge of the 4.096 MHz clock marks the bit boundary while data
sampling is performed during the falling edge, at three quarters of the bit
boundaries.
DELAY THROUGH THE IDT728985
The transfer of information from the input serial streams to the output serial
streams results in a delay through the device. The delay through the IDT728985
device varies according to the mode selected in the
V/C
bit of the Connection
Memory High.
VARIABLE DELAY MODE
The delay in Variable Delay Mode is dependent only on the combination
of source and destination on the input and output streams. The minimum delay
achievable in the IDT728985 device is three time slots. In the IDT728985
device, the information that is to be output in the same channel position as the
information is input (position n), relative to frame pulse, will be output in the
following frame (channel n, frame n+1). The same occurs if the input channels
succeeding (n+1, n+2) the channel position as the information is input.
The information switched to the third time slot after the input has entered the
device (for instance, input channel 0 to output channel 3 or input channel 30 to
output channel 1), is always output three channels later.
Any switching configuration that provides three or more time slots between
input and output channels, will have a throughput delay equal to the difference

between the output and input channels; i.e., the throughput delay will be less
than one frame. Table 1 shows the possible delays for the IDT728985 device
in Variable Delay Mode. An example is shown in Figure 3.
CONSTANT DELAY MODE
In this mode frame integrity is maintained in all switching configurations by
making use of a multiple Data Memory buffer technique where input channels
written in any of the buffers during frame N will be read out during frame N+2.
In the IDT728985, the minimum throughput delay achievable in Constant Delay
mode will be 32 time slots; for example, when input time slot 32 (channel 31) is
switched to output time slot 1 (channel 0). Likewise, the maximum delay is
achieved when the first time slot in a frame (channel 0) is switched to the last time
slot in the frame (channel 31), resulting in 94 time slots of delay (see Figure 4).
To summarize, any input time slot from input frame N will be always switched
to the destination time slot on output frame N+2. In Constant Delay mode the
device throughput delay is calculated according to the following formula:
DELAY=[32+(32-IN)+(OUT-1)]
IN =the number of the input time slot (from 1 to 32)
OUT = the number of the output time slot (from 1 to 32).
MICROPROCESSOR PORT
The IDT728985 microprocessor port is a non-multiplexed bus architecture.
The parallel port consists of an 8-bit parallel data bus (D0-D7), six address input
lines (A0-A5) and four control lines (CS, DS, R/W and
DTA).
This parallel
microport allows the access to the Control Registers, Connection Memory Low,
Connection Memory High, and the Data Memory. All locations are read/written
except for the Data Memory, which can be read only.
Accesses from the microport to the Connection Memory and the Data
Memory are multiplexed with accesses from the input and output TDM ports.
This can cause variable Data Acknowledge delays (DTA). In the IDT728985
device, the
DTA
output provides a maximum acknowledgment delay of 800ns
for read/write operations in the Connection Memory. However, for operations
in the Data Memory (Processor Mode), the maximum acknowledgment delay
can be 1220ns.
mode (Bit 7 of the Control register) reads are from the Data Memory and writes
are to the Connection Memory LOW. The Memory Select bits allow the
Connection Memory High or LOW or the Data Memory to be chosen, and the
Stream Address bits define internal memory subsections corresponding to input
or output streams.
The Processor Enable bit (bit 6) places every output channel on every
output stream in Processor Mode; i.e., the contents of the Connection Memory
LOW (CML, Table 5) are output on the output streams once every frame unless
the ODE input pin is LOW. If PE bit is HIGH, then the IDT728985 behaves as
if bits 2 (Channel Source) and 0 (Output Enable) of every Connection Memory
High (CMH) locations were set to HIGH, regardless of the actual value. If PE
is LOW, then bit 2 and 0 of each Connection Memory High location operates
normally. In this case, if bit 2 of the CMH is HIGH, the associated TX output
channel is in Processor Mode. If bit 2 of the CMH is LOW, then the contents of
the CML define the source information (stream and channel) of the time slot that
is to be switched to an output, Table 4.
If the ODE input pin is LOW, then all the serial outputs are high-impedance.
If ODE is HIGH, then bit 0 (Output Enable) of the CMH location enables (if HIGH)
or disables (if LOW) for that particular channel.
The contents of bit 1 (CCO) of each Connection Memory High Location (see
Table 4) is output on CCO pin once every frame. The CCO pin is a 2.048 Mb/s
output, which carries 256 bits. If CCO bit is set HIGH, the corresponding bit on
CCO output is transmitted HIGH. If CCO is LOW, the corresponding bit on the
CCO output is transmitted LOW. The contents of the 256 CCO bits of the CMH
are transmitted sequentially on to the CCO output pin and are synchronous to
the TX streams. To allow for delay in any external control circuitry the contents
of the CCO bit is output one channel before the corresponding channel on the
TX streams. For example, the contents of CCO bit in position 0 (corresponding
to TX0, CH0), is transmitted synchronously with the TX channel 31, bit 7. Bit 1's
of CMH for channel 1 of streams 0-7 are output synchronously with TX channel
0 bits 7-0.
INITIALIZATION
During the microprocessor initialization routine, the microprocessor should
program the desired active paths through the matrices, and put all other channels
into the high impedance state. Care should be taken that no two Connected TX
outputs drive the bus simultaneously. The ODE pin should be held low on power
up to keep all output pins in high-impedance. With the CMH setup, the
microprocessor controlling the matrices can bring the ODE signal high to
relinquish high impedance state control to the Connection Memory High bits
outputs.
SO.TWARE CONTROL
If the A5, A1, A0 address line inputs are LOW then the IDT728985 Internal
Control Register is addressed (see Table 2). If A5 input line is high, then the
remaining address input lines are used to select the 32 possible channels per
input or output stream. As explained in the Control Register description, the
address input lines and the Stream Address bits (STA) of the Control register
give the user the capability of selecting all positions of IDT728985 Data and
Connect memories. See Figure 6 for accessing internal memories.
The data in the control register consists of Memory Select and Stream
Address bits, Split Memory and Processor Enable bits (Table 3). In Split Memory
