Advance Information
messages, a new message must be present in 7 of
the last 10 appropriate byte positions before being
loaded into the receive BIOM register. When a new
message has been received, a maskable interrupt
(maskable by setting bit 1 low in Interrupt Mask Word
Three - page 1H, address 1EH) may occur.
Dual HDLC
MT9074 has two embedded HDLC controllers
(HDLC0, HDLC1) each of which includes the
following features:
HLDC0 Functions
In T1 mode ESF Data Link (DL) can be connected to
internal HDLC0, operating at a bit rate of 4 kbits/sec.
HDLC0 can be activated by setting the control bit 5,
address 12H in Master Control Page 0. Interrupts
from HDLC0 are masked when it is disconnected.
In E1 mode when connected to the Data Link (DL)
HDLC0 will operate at a selected bit rate of 4, 8, 12,
16 or 20 kbits/sec. HDLC0 can be selected by setting
the control bit HDLC0 (page 01H, address 12H).
When this bit is zero all interrupts from HDLC0 are
masked. For more information refer to following
sections.
HDLC1 Functions
In T1 mode DS1 channel 24 can be connected to
HDLC1, operating at 56 or 64 Kb/s. HDLC1 can be
activated by setting the control bit HDLC1 (page
01H, address 12H). Setting control bit H1R64
(address 12 H on page 01H) high selects 64 Kb/s
operation for HDLC1. Setting this bit low selects 56
Kb/s for HDLC1. Interrupts from HDLC1 are masked
when it is disconnected.
In E1 mode this controller may be connected to time
slot 16 under Common Channel Signalling (CCS)

mode. It should be noted that the AIS16S function
will always be active and the TAIS16 (page 01H,
address 11h) function will override all other transmit
signalling.
HDLC1 can be selected by setting the control bit
HDLC1. When this bit is zero all interrupts from
HDLC1 are masked.
HDLC Description
The HDLC handles the bit oriented packetized data
transmission as per X.25 level two protocol defined
by ITU-T. It provides flag and abort sequence
generation
deletion,
generation and detection. A single byte, dual byte
and all call address in the received frame can be
recognized. Access to the receive FCS and inhibiting
of transmit FCS for terminal adaptation are also
provided. Each HDLC controller has a 128 byte deep
FIFO associated with it. The status and interrupt
flags are programmable for FIFO depths that can
vary from 16 to 128 bytes in steps of 16 bytes. These
and other features are enabled through the HDLC
control registers on page 0BH and 0CH.
HDLC Frame structure
In T1 mode or E1 mode a valid HDLC frame begins
with an opening flag, contains at least 16 bits of
address and control or information, and ends with a
16 bit FCS followed by a closing flag. Data formatted
in this manner is also referred to as a “packet”. Refer
to Table 17: HDLC Frame Format
All HDLC frames start and end with a unique flag
sequence “01111110”. The transmitter generates
these flags and appends them to the packet to be
transmitted. The receiver searches the incoming
data stream for the flags on a bit- by-bit basis to
establish frame synchronization.
The data field consists of an address field, control
field and information field. The address field consists
of one or two bytes directly following the opening
flag. The control field consists of one byte directly
following the address field. The information field
immediately follows the control field and consists of
