Description
8-bit Address Data Bus.:
If the multiplexed address/data µP interface bus
mode, transfer address from µP to 6527 and data between the µP and the
PT7A6527.
In de-multiplexed mode, they interface with the system data bus.
I/O
I
Address Bus:
Interface to the system’s bus to select an internal register
for a read or write access. Only active if a demultipl-exed µP interface.
I
Read:
Intel bus mode.
Indicates
a read operation, active low.
Data Strobe:
Motorola bus mode. The rising edge marks the end of a
valid read or write operation.
Write:
Intel bus mode.
Indicates
a write operation, active low.
Read/Write:
Motorola bus mode. To distinguish between read or write
operations.
Ground.
Data Clock:
Supplies a clock signal either equal to or twice the data rate.
Frame synchronization or data strobe signal
Reset:
A high signal on this input forces the device into the reset state.
Address Latch Enable:
Intel multiplexed bus mode.
A high on this line indicates an address of the device’s internal registers
on the external address/data bus. The address is latched by the device with
the falling edge of ALE. This allows the device to be directly connected to
a microprocessor with multiplexed address/data bus.
This pin should be connected to GND, for Intel de-multiplexed bus mode,
and connected to Vcc for Motorola bus mode.
Chip Select:
A low on this line selects the device for a read/write
operation.
Interrupt Request (Open Drain):
The signal is activated when the
device requests an interrupt.
Collision data receive.
Time-Slot Control:
Supplies a control signal for an external driver.
Transmit data:
Transmit data is shifted out via these pins at standard
TTL or CMOS levels.

Typical Applications
Communication Multiplexers
The four independent serial HDLC communication channels
implemented in the PT7A6527 make the circuit suitable for
use in communication multiplexers.
The collision detection/resolution capability of the circuit
allows statistical multiplexing of packets in one or several
physical data communication channels, for example in DMI
(mode 3) applications.
Centralized Signaling / Data Packet Handlers
The PT7A6527 can be used in central packet handlers of
ISDN networks to process signaling or packet data of four
ISDN subscribers. In this application, it may be used with or
without PCM Interface Controller (PCM Controller).
The PT7A6527 can be connected to the IOM interface of the
PCM CONTROLLER, which is itself connected to the PCM
system highway. The PCM CONTROLLER implements
concentration and time slot assignment functions. As an
alternative, the PT7A6527 may be directly connected to PCM
highways (figure
1).
The size (from 1 to 8 bits) and the position of the time slot
associated with each HDLC controller is software
programmable. In addition to the receiver and transmit data
highways, the PT7A6527 accepts a third input connection for
collision detection purposes. The mode of collision detection
is programmable. A collision highway (or time slot) can be
used for remote collision control, as a clear to send lead, or for
local contention resolution among several devices.

Line Cards in De-Centralized or Mixed Signaling / Data
Packet Handling Architectures
The PT7A6527 can be used on peripheral line cards to process
D-channel packets for ISDN subscribers. The PCM Controller
has the layer-1 controlling capacity and a B-channel switching
capacity for a total of 32 subscribers. The B and D channels
and the control information for eight subscribers are carried by
one IOM interface. Thus a line card dimensioned for 32-ISDN
subscribers may employ up to eight devices, two for each
IOM connection (figure
2).
A High Level Serial
Communication Controller (6525) with two HDLC channels,
or another PT7A6527 may be used to transmit and receive
signaling via the system highway in a common channel. Again,
such a common channel may be shared among several line
cards, due to the statistical multiplexing capability of these
controllers.
In completely de-centralized D-channel processing
architectures, the processing capacity of a line card is usually
dimensioned so as to avoid blocking situations even under
maximum conceivable D-channel traffic conditions. It may
sometimes be more advantageous to perform p-packet
handling in a centralized manner while keeping s-packet
handling on the line cards. A statistical increase in p-packet
traffic has then no effect on the line card, and can be easily
dealt with by one of the modular architectures for a central
packet handler shown in the previous section. A more
effective sharing of the total p-packet handling capacity is the
result, especially in a situation where p-packet traffic patterns
vary widely from one subscriber group to another.
The use of a PT7A6527 in the mixed D-channel processing
architecture is illustrated in
figure 3.
The additional transparent data connections supported by the
PT7A6527 enable a merging of p and s packets into one D
channel. Possible collision situations are dealt with by the
PT7A6527 which uses either the additional collision detect
line (figure
3)
or a time slot on the system highway (figure
3)
from the line card to the central packet handler.
