MT8986
Register (FIO). If this function is not required in the
user's applications, the FIO register should be set up
during system initialization to a state where offset
functions are disabled.
it is independent of the input and output streams.
The minimum delay achievable in the MT8986
depends on the data rate selected for the serial
streams. For instance, for 2.048 Mb/s the minimum
delay achieved corresponds to three time-slots. For
4.096 Mb/s it corresponds to five time-slots while for
8.192 Mb/s it is nine time-slots. Switching
configurations with input and output channels that
provides more than its corresponding minimum
throughput delay, will have a throughput delay equal
to the difference between the output and input
channels; i.e., the throughput delay will be less than
one frame period. Table 3a shows the MT8986
throughput delay for each data rate operation.
Different I/O Data Rates
Except for 2 Mb/s to 4 Mb/s and 2 Mb/s to 8 Mb/s
rate conversion operations, the throughput delay in
the MT8986 may vary according to the output stream
used for switching.
Table 3b explains the worst case conditions for the
throughput delay when different I/O data rate
switching configurations are used.
Constant Throughput Delay mode (V/C bit = 1)
In this mode frame sequence integrity is maintained
in both Identical and Different I/O Data Rate
Delay Through the MT8986
The switching of information from the input serial
streams to the output serial streams results in a
delay. Depending on the type of information to be
switched, the MT8986 device can be programmed to
perform time-slot interchange functions with different
throughput delay capabilities on a per-channel basis.
For voice applications, variable throughput delay can
be selected ensuring minimum delay between input
and output data. In wideband data applications,
constant throughput delay can be selected
maintaining the frame integrity of the information
through the switch.
The delay through the MT8986 device varies
according to the type of throughput delay selected in
the V/C bit of the connect memory high.
Variable Throughput Delay Mode (V/C bit = 0)
Identical I/O Data Rates
The delay in this mode is dependent on the
combination of source and destination channels and
