MT8931C
The C-channel bit mapping from the parallel port to
the ST-BUS is organized such that the most
significant bit is transmitted or received first.
The protocol used by the state activation controller is
defined as follows:
1) In the deactivated state, neither the NT nor TE
assert a signal on the line (Info0).
State Activation
2) If the TE wants to initiate activation, it must begin
transmitting a continuous signal consisting of a
positive zero, a negative zero followed by six
ones (Info1).
The state activation controller activates or
deactivates the SNIC in response to line activity or
external command. The controller is completely
hardware driven and need not be initialized by the
microprocessor. The state diagram for initialization
is shown in Figure 7.
3) Once the NT has detected Info1, it begins to
transmit Info2 which consists of an S-Bus frame
(2)
Where: BA = Bus Activity
Signals from NT to TE
Signals from TE to NT
DR = Deactivation Request
AR = Activation Request

Info4

Sync = Frame Sync Signal
Continuous Signal of +‘0’, -‘0’

A = Activation bit
Time out = 32 ms Timer Signal
and six ‘1’s
Valid frame structure with
all B, D, D-echo and A bits
set to ‘0’
Note 1: signal is not timebase locked to NT.
Note 2: Sync/BA bit of the Status Register
is configured as Sync bit when
AR = 1 and DR = 0, or as BA bit
when AR = 0 or DR = 1. A change in
the state of the AR and/or DR bits
will cause a change in the function
of the Sync/BA bit in the following
ST-BUS frame.
Info3
Valid frame with data in B & D
Bits
Valid frame with data in B,
D, D-echo channels. Bit A is
set to 1.
