Description

The MT90222/3/4 device is targeted to systems implementing the ATM FORUM Inverse Multiplexing for ATM (IMA version 1.1 and 1.0) or UNI specifications for T1/E1 rates. In the MT90222/3/4 architecture, up to 16 physical and independent serial links can be terminated through the utilization of off-the-shelf, traditional T1/E1/J1 framers/LIUs and DSL chip sets. The MT90222/3/4 device can also provide up to 10 Mb/s per link data rates for unframed serial TDM transmissions for xDSL applications.

Features

IMA

• Up to 16 T1, E1, J1, DSL links & up to 8 IMA groups with 1 to 16 links/IMA group1

• Supports symmetrical & asymmetrical operation

• CTC (common transmit) & ITC (independent transmit) clocking modes

• Pre-processing of RX ICP (IMA control protocol) cells

• IMA layer & per link statistics and alarms for performance monitoring with MIB support

TC and UNI

• Supports mixed-mode operation: links not assigned to an IMA group can be used in TC mode

• ATM framing using cell delineation

• HEC (header error control) verification & generation, error detection, filler cell filtering (IMA mode) and idle/unassigned cell filtering (TC mode)

• TC layer statistics and error counts i.e. HEC errors with MIB support

Standards Compliant

• ATM Forum - IMA 1.1 (AF-PHY-0086.001) & backwards compatible with IMA 1.0

• ATM Forum - ATM over Fractional T1/E1 (AF-PHY-0130.00)

• ITU G.804 cell mapping & ITU I.432 cell delineation

General

• Supports unframed serial streams up to 10 Mb/s per T1/E1 or DSL link

• Single chip ATM IMA & TC processor

• Versatile TDM interface for most popular T1 or E1 framers and DSL chipsets

• Up to 6 MT90222/3/4 devices can be spanned using a TDM ring supporting 32 links

• Provides 8 & 16-bit UTOPIA Level 1 & 2 compatible MPHY Interface (MT90222/3/4 slaved to ATM device)

• 16-bit microprocessor interface for Intel or Motorola

• JTAG test support

• 2.5 V core, 3.3 V I/O with 5 V tolerant inputs

• 384 pin PGBA with 1.0 mm pitch balls

• MT90222, MT90223 & MT90224 share the same product package and pin-out configuration

Applications

Provides cost effective solutions to implement IMA and/or TC functions over T1, E1, J1 or DSL transport facilities in broadband access networks. Typical applications are for trunking or subscriber access in:

• Integrated multi-service access platforms

• Access multiplexers

• Next-generation DLC

• Wireless local loop

• 3G wireless base-stations
