Abstract

See full text

A multi-mode time division multiplexing (TDM) interface circuit for interfacing between a serial data port and a data buffer is provided. The TDM interface circuit contains a transmitter and a receiver section. The circuit is programmable to operate in a variety of modes and is capable of supporting various multi-channel TDM interfaces as well as single channel analog interfaces. The circuit is programmable by writing a control word to a control register. In operation the circuit receives a frame synchronization signal, a gated bit clock signal, and a bit clock signal from the circuit with which it is interfacing on the serial data port. A base address input to a base address register provides up to 9 of the most significant bits of a data buffer address. A 12-bit counter is used to generate the remaining (least significant) bits of the data buffer address according to the control word in the control register.
