MT8910-1
Preliminary Information
the superframe position. This function can also be
activated in software (LT mode only) through a bit in
Control Register 1 (TxSFB). The transition of this bit
from a 1 to a 0 will reset the superframe counter, and
the beginning of the transmitted superframe will be
referenced to the ST-BUS frame after the frame in
which the transition in the TxSFB bit occurred.
superframe synchronization has been achieved. In
the NT mode, the TxSFB bit is ignored since the
transmit superframe has a fixed phase relationship
with respect to the received superframe.
The MT8910-1 has two possible system port
configurations; single port mode or dual port mode.
In the single port mode, the MT8910-1 uses the first
four timeslots of the DSTi and DSTo data streams
(as shown in Figure 8). ST-BUS Channel 0 is
allocated to the D-channel, ST-BUS Channel 1 to the
C-channel, while ST-BUS Channel 2 and 3 are
In the NT mode, the SFb pin is an output which
generates an active low signal at the boundary of the
transmit superframe. Since the SFb is referenced to
the receive time base, SFb is only valid after
