DS31256 256-Channel, High-Throughput HDLC Controller
The DS31256 has a set of three registers per DS0 channel for each port that determine how each DS0
channel is configured. These three registers are defined in Section 6.3. If the fast (52Mbps) HDLC
engine is enabled on port 0, then HDLC channel 1 is assigned to it. Likewise, HDLC channel 2 is
assigned to the fast HDLC engine on port 1 if it is enabled, and HDLC channel 2 is assigned to the fast
HDLC engine on port 2 if it is enabled.
The DS31256 contains an on-board full-featured BERT capable of generating and detecting both
pseudorandom and repeating serial bit patterns. The BERT function is a shared resource among the 16
ports on the DS31256 and can only be assigned to one port at a time. It can be used in both channelized
and unchannelized applications and at speeds up to 52MHz. In channelized applications, data can be
routed to and from any combination of DS0 channels that are being used on the port. The details on the
BERT function are covered in Section 6.5.
The Layer 1 block also contains a V.54 detector. Each of the 16 ports contains a V.54 loop pattern
detector on the receive side. The device can search for the V.54 loop-up and loop-down patterns in both
channelized and unchannelized applications at speeds up to 10MHz. In channelized applications, the
device can be configured to search for the patterns in any combination of DS0 channels. Section
6.4
describes all of the details on the V.54 detector.
