TDM Interface

The MSC8144E Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) interface enables communication among
many devices over a single bus. Traffic is managed according to a time-division multiplexing
method in which only one device drives the bus (transmit) for each channel. Each device drives
its active transmit channels and samples its active receive channels when its channel is active. It
is the system designer’s responsibility to guarantee that there is no conflict in transmit channel
allocation.
The TDM interface is composed of eight identical and independent TDM modules, each
supporting 256 bidirectional channels (256 transmit and 256 receive channels) running at up to
62.5 Mbps with 2-, 4-, 8-, and 16-bit word size. The TDM bus connects gluelessly to most T1 /E1
framers as well as to common buses such as the ST-Bus. Each TDM module operates in
independent or shared mode when receiving or transmitting data:
In independent mode, there are different sync, clock, and data links for receive and
transmit.
In shared sync and clock mode, the clock and the sync are shared between the transmit and
receive with different data links for the receive and transmit.
In shared data link mode, the receive and transmit share sync, clock, and full duplex data
links between the transmit and receive. The clock and the sync signals can also be shared
between the TDM modules.
