Features

  • High density HDLC controller ideal for Internet access, Frame Relay and DSLAM equipment supporting rates ranging from 56 Kbit/s to 52 Mbit/s.
  • Supports 32 full-duplex and independently-timed links.
  • Supports 128 full-duplex HDLC or transparent channels.
  • Supports a TimePipe(TM) architecture that enables any physical link to be flexibly mapped to one or more HDLC channels.
  • Provides 8 KB partial packet FIFO in each of the transmit and receive direction to compensate for PCI bus latency during data transfers. The 8 KB partial packet FIFO is arranged as 512 blocks of 16 byte buffers.
  • The TimePipe architecture supports programmable assignment of partial packet buffers to HDLC channels.
  • Two physical links can support up to 52 Mbit/s, the remaining 30 physical links can individually support up to 10 Mbit/s.
  • Supports a mix of channelized and unchannelized links.
  • The maximum aggregate clock rate is 64 MHz. In the case where the device is interfaced to two T3 or HSSI links, the maximum aggregate clock rate is 104 MHz.
  • For channelized operation, the channel assignment supports up to 24 time slots for a T1 link and 31 time slots for an E1 link. Time slots assigned to a common HDLC channel can be noncontiguous.
  • Performs flag delineation, bit de-stuffing, CRC verification using either CRC-32 or CRC-CCITT algorithm and length checking on receive HDLC channels.
  • Performs flag insertion, bit stuffing and FCS calculation using either CRC-32 or CRC-CCITT algorithm on transmit HDLC channels.
  • On the system side, provides a 33 MHz, 32 bit PCI 2.1 compliant bus interface.
  • Implements efficient transmit and receive DMA controllers to support burst data transfers between partial packet FIFO and packet memory.
  • Supports scatter-gather capabilities whereby a packet can span multiple buffers.
  • Supports line side loopback on a per link basis and system side loopback on a per HDLC channel basis.
  • Pin compatible and software compatible with PM7366 FREEDM-8.
  • Provides a standard 5 signal P1149.1 JTAG test port for boundary scan board test purposes.
  • Implemented in low power 3.3 Volt CMOS technology with 5 Volt tolerant inputs.
  • Packaged in 256 pin ball grid array (BGA) package.

Applications

  • Ideal for applications requiring HDLC, PPP and transparent protocol processing for physical links such as T1, E1, T3, E3, xDSL, and HSSI.
  • Frame-based interfaces for Internet Access and DSLAM equipment.
  • FUNI or Frame Relay service interworking interfaces for ATM switches and multiplexers.
