• Description: 3072 Channels TDM to Dual Port RAM Multiple Rate Parallel Bus Access Circuit (MRPAC)
• Manufacturer: Zarlink Semiconductor

Bidirectional Operation: Serial output channel
timeslots can be tri-stated by setting the OEser input
pin high during a specific parallel channel timeslot.
Note that when operating in bidirectional mode, the
MT90210’s I/O buffers on the serial port are
permanently at high impedance and the control of
contention on the serial bus has to be done by the
user through the OEser input pin. In modes 1, 2, 4
and 5 all of the transmit channels on the serial port
side are copied back to the memory interface. This is
true only in bidirectional modes (i.e., modes 1, 2, 4
and 5). Note that only the transmit (output) channels
are copied back to the memory and that the input
channels remain unaffected.
For a specific time-slot sampled at the external
memory parallel interface, the respective OEser
input pin must be in the desired state; i.e., the
sampling of the OEser input is synchronized with the
parallel byte read at the P0-P7 lines.

Functional operation of the MT90210
device at the parallel interface for
modes 1, 2, and 3
Figures 8, 12, and 13 depict the parallel port READ
and WRITE operation of the MT90210 device. The
state of the signals R/W1, R/W2 and Strobe defines
a valid Read or a valid Write operation. During a valid
READ operation the signals Strobe and R/W2 stay
LOW while the signal R/W1 is always HIGH. For the
valid WRITE operation the signal R/W2 always stays
HIGH while the signals R/W1 and Strobe toggle.
Table 3 represents the sequence of events as
depicted in Figure 12 during the last channel at the
end of an ST-BUS frame. The MT90210 device
repeats the same sequence of operation during the
entire frame. For example, during channel 127 at the
end of an ST-BUS frame the MT90210 will write
channel 126 (streams 0 to 11) and read from channel
1 (streams 12 to 23) of the next frame as shown in
Table 3. Note that there is a two channel difference
between a write and a read sequence. In mode 1 and
mode 2, the MT90210 device performs a group of
writes and a group of reads separated by 8 PCLK
periods, while for modes 3, 4 and 5 they are
separated by 4 PCLK periods.

4 and mode 5
Table 4 represents the sequence of events when the
MT90210 device is operating at a mixed rate of
operation (mode 4 and mode 5) as depicted in Figure
13. The MT90210 device repeats the same sequence
of operation as shown in Table 4 throughout the entire
frame. In mode 4 and mode 5 the MT90210 device is
configured with 24 bidirectional serial streams and split
into two different rates: S0 to S15 operate at 2.048
Mb/s data rates (512 time-slots) and streams S16 to
S23 run at 8 Mb/s data rates (1024 time-slots). In this
mode, 12 writes are carried out during a parallel port
write cycle and 12 reads during a read cycle. Of each
group of 12, 8 are dedicated to the high-speed 8.192
Mb/s links, therefore four slots are available for the
2.048 Mb/s links. To process all the 16 streams
devoted for 2.048 Mb/s, four separate write or read
cycles are required (these slots are denoted with the
suffix "a", "b", "c", "d" in Figure 13). Each write or
read cycle will use four time-slots. For example, read
or write cycle "a" uses streams S0 to S3, read or
write cycle "b" uses streams S4 to S7, read or write
cycle "c" uses streams S8 to S11 and read or write
cycle "d" uses streams S12 to S15 (see Table 4).
There is a two channel difference between a read
and write sequence for 2 Mb/s data and an eight
channel difference for 8 Mb/s data.
