1 FEATURES
· Single-chip Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Bus multi-channel
HDLC controller.
· Supports up to 32 bi-directional HDLC channels assigned to a maximum of
32 channelised T1 or E1 links. The number of time-slots assigned to an
HDLC channel is programmable from 1 to 24 (for T1) and from 1 to 31 (for
E1).
· Supports up to 32 bi-directional HDLC channels each assigned to an
unchannelised arbitrary rate link; subject to a maximum aggregate link clock
rate of 64 MHz in each direction. Channels assigned to links 0 to 2 can have
a clock rate of up to 45 MHz when SYSCLK is at or above 25 MHz and up to
52 MHz when SYSCLK is at 33 MHz. Channels assigned to links 3 to 31 can
have a clock rate of up to 10 MHz.
· Supports up to two bi-directional HDLC channels each assigned to an
unchannelised arbitrary rate link of up to 45 MHz when SYSCLK is at or
above 25 MHz and up to 52 MHz when SYSCLK is at 33 MHz.
· Supports a mix of up to 32 channelised and unchannelised links; subject to
the constraint of a maximum of 32 channels and a maximum aggregate link
clock rate of 64 MHz in each direction.
· For each channel, the HDLC receiver performs flag sequence detection, bit
de-stuffing, and frame check sequence validation. The receiver supports the
validation of both CRC-CCITT and CRC-32 frame check sequences. The
receiver also checks for packet abort sequences, octet aligned packet length
and for minimum and maximum packet length.
· Alternatively, for each channel, the receiver supports a transparent mode
where each octet is transferred transparently to host memory. For
channelised links, the octets are aligned with the receive time-slots.
· For each channel, time-slots are selectable to be in 56 kbits/s format or 64
kbits/s clear channel format.
· For each channel, the HDLC transmitter performs flag sequence generation,
bit stuffing, and, optionally, frame check sequence generation. The
transmitter supports the generation of both CRC-CCITT and CRC-32 frame
check sequences. The transmitter also aborts packets under the direction of
the host or automatically when the channel underflows.
