Abstract: The Dallas Semiconductor framers can operate in a transparent mode in both the receive and transmit directions. The transmitter will not insert framing, signaling, or other information such as CRC or FDL. Generally, the receive side of the framers is always transparent. Data received at RTIP and RRING is passed through intact to RSER. All configurations are with the elastic stores disabled. The elastic stores will not alter data except during slip conditions or if configured for 1.544MHz/2.048MHz conversion or signaling reinsertion.

In the DS2155, setting this bit to a one will redefine the operation of the transmit line driver. When this bit is set to a one and LIC1.5 = LIC1.6 = LIC1.7 = 0, then the device will generate a square wave at the TTIP and TRING outputs instead of a normal waveform. When this bit is set to a one and LIC1.5 = LIC1.6 = 0 and LIC1.7 = 1, then the device will force TTIP and TRING outputs to become open drain drivers instead of their normal push-pull operation. This bit should be set to zero for normal operation of the DS2155.

Per-Channel Code Generation Registers

The method for generating idle codes has changed in the DS2155. The DS2155 contains a 64-byte Idle Code Array accessed by the Idle Array Address Register (IAAR) and the Per-Channel Idle Code Register (PCICR). The contents of the array contain the idle codes to be substituted into the appropriate transmit or receive channels. This substitution can be enabled and disabled on a per-channel basis by the Transmit Channel Idle Code Enable registers (TCICE1-4) and Receive Channel Idle Code Enable registers (RCICE1-4). The following table gives the DS2155 register that closely resembles the corresponding DS21x54 register. See section 18 of the DS2155 for additional information on per-channel idle code generation.

HDLC Registers

While the DS21x54 has only one HDLC controller, the DS2155 has two enhanced HDLCs. Each controller is configurable for use with time slots, or Sa4 to Sa8 bits (E1 Mode) or the FDL (T1 Mode). The transmit and receive path buffers in the DS2155 have been doubled to 128-bytes. When used with time slots, the user can select any time slot or multiple time slots, contiguous or non-contiguous, as well as any specific bits within the time slot(s) to assign to the HDLC controllers.

The HDLC controller performs the necessary overhead for generating and receiving Performance Report Messages (PRM) as described in ANSI T1.403 and the messages as described in AT&T TR54016. The HDLC controller automatically generates and detects flags, generates and checks the CRC check sum, generates and detects abort sequences, stuffs and de-stuffs zeros, and byte aligns to the data stream. The 128-byte buffers in the HDLC controller are large enough to allow a full PRM to be received or transmitted without host intervention.

The user must take care to not map both transmit HDLC controllers to the same Sa bits, time slots or, in T1 mode, map both controllers to the FDL. HDLC #1 and HDLC #2 are identical in operation and therefore, when applicable, each DS21x52 register bit will be mapped to two addresses.

4. New DS2155 Features

The DS2155 contains all of the features found in the previous generations of Dallas Semiconductor's SCTs plus many more. Some additional features are subtle changes while others are new additions.

4.2 High Throughput Features in the DS2155

In addition to the features listed above, the DS2155 has several features designed to improve throughput efficiency and provide overhead relief for the host processor. The following sections give a brief overview of new features; however, please refer to the DS2155 data sheet for detailed information on each of these features.

4.2.1 Bytes Available (HDLC Controller)
The transmit and receive portion of the HDLC controllers have improved throughput features. All of these features allow the host to read and write BLOCKS of data without having to check status bits on a per-byte basis.

1. Transmit Bytes Buffer Available registers (Address 9Fh & AFh): The host can read this register to see how many bytes can be written into the transmit FIFO without over flowing the FIFO. The transmit FIFO can contain multiple messages. Also there are programmable low water marks on the transmit FIFO (this replaces the Haft Empty flag).
2. Receive Packets Bytes Available registers (Address 9Ch & ACh): The host can read this register to determine how many bytes can be read from the receive FIFO without under flowing the buffer or reading past the end of a message. Also there are programmable high water marks on the receive FIFOs.

4.2.2 SS7 Support (HDLC Controller)
Both the transmit and receive portions of the HDLC controllers have features that improve support for SS7.

1. Transmit FIFO Loop control. The transmitter has a loop feature that allows it to loop on a message in the transmit FIFO. For SS7 FISUs (Fill In Signal Units) the host only needs to write the FISU (containing the last FSN and BSN values of the last regular message unit) once. The transmitter can then repeat the FISU without host intervention until a normal message unit is ready to be transmitted.
2. Receive Consecutive FISU Detect and Delete. On the receive side, the controller will recognize a Fill In Signal Unit by its length. If the CRC is correct and the BSN is a repeat of the last signal unit's BSN, the controller will disregard the FISU without host intervention. Erred FISUs will be reported to the host.

4.2.3 Extended System Information Bus (ESIB)
The ESIB allows up to eight DS2155s to share an 8 bit CPU bus for the purpose of reporting alarm in interrupt status as a group. With a single bus read, the host can be updated with alarm or interrupt status from all eight devices. There are four registers, ESI0, ESI1, ESI2 and ESI4. As an example, 8 DS2155s can be grouped into an ESIB group. A single read of the ESI0 register of ANY member of the group will yield the interrupt status of all 8 DS2155s. Therefore the host can determine which device or devices are causing an interrupt without polling all eight devices. Via ESI1 the host can gather synchronization status on all members of the group. ESI2 and ESI4 can be programmed to report various alarms on a device by device basis.

5. Hardware Considerations: DS2155 vs. DS21x5y

The DS2155 is pin compatible with existing DS21x5y devices. This section addresses two scenarios. Scenario #1 involves placing a DS2155 into an existing DS21x5y design. In this situation, some of the new features of the DS2155 will be unavailable; however, all of the DS21x5y functionality is available. Scenario # 2 involves generating a new design based on the DS21x5y but allowing for migration to the DS2155 when available and making use of the new features. Table 1 shows a summary of the pin changes.

Table 1. Summary of Pin Changes

PIN	DS21x5y	DS2155	Comment
3	8MCLK	BPCLK	This pin is now programmable to 4.096, 8.192 or 16.384MHz
8	NC	UOP0	Bit 0 of a four bit user port
9	NC	UOP1	Bit 1 of a four bit user port
14	TEST	TSTRST	This pin will now force a register reset when high along with forcing all outputs and I/O pins into high Z.
15	NC	UOP2	Bit 2 of a four bit user port
23	NC	UOP3	Bit 3 of a four bit user port
76	FMS	ESIBRD	FMS deleted and pin reused for ESIB
36	CI	ESIBS0	CI function now controlled via software. Pin used for ESIB
54	CO	ESIBS1	CO function now controlled via software. Pin used for ESIB
26	NC	NC	Must remain a No Connect
27	NC	NC	Must remain a No Connect
28	NC	NC	Must remain a No Connect

5.1 Reassigned Pin Functions for Pins 36, 54, and 76

The Interleave Bus Option (IBO) has been converted to full software control in the DS2155 and the pins (CO, CI) reassigned to the ESIB function. These pins plus FMS are now used for a new feature (Extended System Information Bus). In this application, up to 4 SCTs can share a single, higher speed PCM bus as shown in Figure 1a. The CO and CI signals were used to establish the master/slave relationship of the devices. In the DS2155 this relationship is software configurable and the CO/CI pin function is deleted. In the DS2155 these pins have been used for another function, the ESIB as shown in Figure 1b. In addition, the FMS pin function has been deleted and replaced with a new signal to support the ESIB.


Figure 1. Pins 36, 54 and 76 usage.

Scenario #1
When the DS2155 is used in an existing DS21x5y design the ESIB must not be enabled. In this case, pins 36, 54 and 76 enter a high Z state and are therefore not affected by existing CO/CI connections. When using the DS2155 in an existing DS21x5y design the IBOs hierarchy is configured via software. The ESIB function of the DS2155 is not available in this situation.

Scenario #2
When provisioning a new DS21x5y design to accept the DS2155 the designer must plan for the reconfiguration of these pins on the PCB in order to use the ESIB feature.

5.2 New Feature for Pin 3

The TEST pin in the DS21x5y has been renamed to TSTRST in the DS2155. In the DS21x5y this pin would force all outputs and I/Os to high Z. In the DS2155 this pin will cause a register reset when set high along with forcing all outputs and I/O pins to a high Z state.

5.3 New Feature for Pin 14

The 8MCLK pin of the DS21x5y has been renamed to BPCLK in the DS2155. In the DS21x5y this pin was an 8.192MHz output. In the DS2155 this pin can be programmed to output 2.048, 4.096, 8.192, or 16.384MHz.

Scenario #1
When the DS2155 is used in an existing DS21x5y design this pin can be programmed to 8.192MHz by setting register CCR2 = 05h

5.4 Receive and Transmit Termination

The DS2155 has an enhanced line interface unit (LIU). There are internal, software selectable provisions for terminating the receive and transmit pair. Receive and transmit termination can be altered via software in the DS2155 eliminating the need to change external components. Shown in Figure 2 is the basic interface circuit for the DS2135y (3.3 volt) family. Rt is set to 0 ohms for T1, and to 11.6 ohms or 6.2 ohms in E1 mode depending on the line type (120 ohm twisted pair or 75 ohm coax) when a high return loss value is required. R is set to 50 ohms for T1 and 37.5 ohms or 60 ohms for E1 operation depending on the line type.

Scenario #1
When the DS2155 is used in an existing DS2135y design, the internal termination features can be disabled if the external circuitry cannot be modified to allow the software controllable termination features to be utilized.


Figure 2. DS21x5y network interface.

Scenario #2
Figure 3 shows the basic circuit for the DS2155. In this circuit R is set to 60 ohms. This value is adjusted internally via software for T1 and E1 operation. Rt is not needed since the DS2155 transmitter can control source impedance via software for T1 and E1 operation. The user should consult factory application notes for "over voltage" protected interface designs.

5.5 New User Output Pins in the DS2155

Four new pin functions have been added to the DS2155 to provide control of external user hardware. These pins replace 4 No Connects on the DS21x5y and are located at pins 8 (UOP0), 9 (UOP1), 23 (UOP2), and 15 (UOP3). Refer to Section 33 of the DS2155 data sheet for more information on these four pins.

Scenario #1
When using the DS2155 in an existing DS21x5y design the unterminated user outputs will not cause any problems.

Scenario #2
When provisioning a DS21x5y design to accept the DS2155, connections to these NC pins of the DS21x5y will not cause a problem.

6. Summary

The DS2155 is a T1, E1, and J1 Single Chip Transceiver (SCT) that builds upon the previous generation of SCTs offered by Dallas Semiconductor. In the process of combining the T1/J1 and E1 modes of operation into a single die, all of the functionality of the DS21x5y SCTs is kept intact, but many of the previous register addresses and control bits have been relocated in the DS2155. In addition to software considerations, the migration of designs from the DS21x5y to the DS2155 is simplified by the pin compatibility of the DS2155.
