4.2
The input pin, BORS, selects whether the Backplane output streams, BSTo0-31 are set to high impedance at the
output of the MT90870 itself, or are always driven (active HIGH or active LOW) and a high impedance state, if
required on a per-channel basis, is invoked through an external interface circuit controlled by the BCSTo0-3
signals. Setting BORS to a LOW state will configure the output streams, BSTo0-31, to transmit bi-state channel
data with per-channel high-impedance determined by external circuits under the control of the BCSTo0-3 outputs.
Setting BORS to a HIGH state will configure the output streams, BSTo0-31, of the MT90870 to invoke a high-
impedance output on a per-channel basis.
The BORS pin is an asynchronous input and is expected to be hard-wired for a particular system application,
although it may be driven under logic control if preferred.
4.2.1
The data (channel control bit) transmitted by BCSTo0-3 replicates the Backplane Output Enable Bit (BE) of the
Backplane Connection Memory, with a LOW state indicating the channel to be set to High Impedance. See Section
12.4, Backplane Connection Memory Bit Definition for setting the Backplane Output Enable Bit (BE).
