IDT77V550. Full duplex 4-bit signals are passed from the motherboard
to the line cards.
input and eight output ports and it receives cells via the 4-bit DPI bus.
Incoming cells may be received on any of the up to eight input ports
simultaneously, the stored inside the IDT77V400. Up to 1K ATM cells
per input port (up to 8K ATM cells in a fully configured IDT77950) can be
stored in the IDT77V400, and upon transmission the cells can be sent
out of any of the up to eight output ports. Each one of the receive and
transmit lines has a separate clock, which can be run at SCLK 40 MHz.
passes through the IDT77V400, directing the cells and determining
service priority via ATM Quality of Service parameters. The Switching
Memory is polled by the IDT77V500 for the arrival of a new cell. When a
complete new cell is identified on a particular input port, the IDT77V500
reads the cell header, makes switching and priority decisions, and then
commands the IDT77V400 to store the cell until the time to transmit that
particular cell arrives. The IDT77V500 then issues a command to move
the cell to a particular port and transmit. Decisions made by the
IDT77V500 are based on a set of parameters setup in a table via an
external Call Setup Manager CPU.

management port. The IDT77V550 Switch Manager is used on the
IDT77950 to interface this 8-bit IDT77V500 management port to the
remote PC via Port 7. This Switch Manager intercepts received cells
from Line Card 7 and copies the cells to the IDT77V500. These cells are
also forwarded to Port 7 of the IDT77V400. The copied cells are identi-
fied using a unique cell header VPI = 00 hex and VCI = 001e hex. This is
a VCI number only used by the IDT77V550. The commands to be
written to the IDT77V500 via the 8-bit manager port are contained in the
payload of these cells.
IDT77V550 and an ATM cell is constructed with VPI = 00 hex and VCI =
0020 hex. This is a unique VCI address used for communication
between the IDT77V500 and the remote PC. Cells generated by the
IDT77V550 are inserted in the DPI cell stream going from the
IDT77V400 to the line card 7. In this way the End Station connected to
the line card 7 controls and monitors the IDT77V500 internal registers.
The IDT77550 uses a 40MHz clock for the IDT77V500 Manager port
and the DPI clock.
