connection memory will be transferred to the BSTo
pins.
Local Connection Memory
The local connection memory controls the local
interface switching configurations through the Local
Mode Selection Control (LMSC) bit. When this bit is
low, the input source is from the backplane input port
and the "backplane-to-local" switching path can be
configured. When it is high, the input source is from
the local input port and the "local-to-local" switching
path can be configured. The local connection
memory consists of two parts, namely, the Local
Connection memory Low (LCML) and the Local
Connection Memory High (LCMH). Each of them is
16-bit wide. Locations in the local connection
memory are associated with particular LSTo output
streams.
The LTM1 - LTM0 bits of each Local Connection
Memory High (LCMH) determine the per-channel
message mode, the pre-channel tristate and the
normal modes.
In the switching mode, the stream address bits
(LSAB0 - LSAB5) and channel address bits (LCAB0 -
LCAB8) of the local connection memory low (LCML)
define the source information (stream and channel)
of the time slot that will be switched to the local LSTo
streams. During the message mode, only the lower 8
least significant bits of the Local Connection Memory
Low are transferred to the LSTo pins.
Data Memory Read Operation
All connection memory content can be read from the
microprocessor port. However, only limited data
memory contents can be read from the micro-
processor port at any one time. The backplane data
memory has 1,024 locations and the local data
memory has 256 locations to support the data
memory reads.
The Backplane Data Memory Read Selection
register (BDMRSR) selects the two backplane input
streams which will be read (or monitored) from the
microprocessor port. The selected backplane input
streams are labelled as Stream C and Stream D. The
Local
(LDMRSR) selects the two local input streams which
will be read (or monitored) from the microprocessor
port. The selected backplane input streams are
labelled as Stream E and Stream F.

Selection
register
Users need to program the BDMRSR and LDMRSR
registers before the proper data memory read
operations can occur. See Tables 22 and 23 for the
description of the memory read selection registers.
Also, see Table 4 for the microprocessor addresses
required to access Stream C&D or Stream E&F.
Refer to the MS0 - 2 bits in the control registers for
the selection of the data memory to be read from the
microprocessor port.
Data Transfer Acknowledge
The DTA pin of the microprocessor is driven low by
the internal logic to indicate that a data bus transfer
cycle is completed. When the bus cycle is ended, the
DTA switches to the high impedance state. An
external pull-up is required at this output.
Local External Tristate Control
The MT90868 allows users the flexibility to perform
the per-channel tristate operation for the local
interface when external drivers or buffers are used
for the LSTo0-64 outputs.
The device provides four output control signals,
LCSTo0 - LCSTo3 which have the data rate of
16.384Mb/s with 8,192 control bits per frame. Each
control bit position is corresponding to a specific
output stream and channel location as defined in the
local connection memory. When the LTM0 and LTM1
bits in the LCMH are programmed to tristate selected
local output channels, the corresponding LCSTo
control bits will set to high for the selected tristate
output channels. For example, if we program
channel 0 of the LSTo4 to be tristated, the control bit
LSTo4_Ch0 will set to high.
With the local output channel advancement feature
disabled, the LCSTo0 output is advanced by nine
C8o cycles from the frame boundary to send out the
control bit for the channel 0 of the LSTo0 stream.
Similarly, the LCSTo1, LCSTo2 and LCSTo3 outputs
are advanced by nine C8o cycles for the channel 0 of
the LSTo1; LSTo2 and LSTo3 output streams
respectively. The advancement in the LCSTo
streams allows the external drivers or buffers to
process the LCSTo control bits accordingly before
the actual LSTo data is output from the device.
When the local output channel advancement feature
is enabled, LCSTo signals for those advanced output
channels will also be advanced together with the
