MT90823
Delay Through the MT90823
The switching of information from the input serial
streams to the output serial streams results in a
throughput delay. The device can be programmed to
perform time-slot interchange functions with different
throughput delay capabilities on a per-channel basis.
For voice application, select variable throughput
delay to ensure minimum delay between input and
output data. In wideband data applications, select
constant throughput delay to maintain the frame
integrity of the information through the switch.
The delay through the device varies according to the
type of throughput delay selected in the V/C bit of the
connection memory.
Variable Delay Mode (V/C bit = 0)
The delay in this mode is dependent only on the
combination of source and destination channels. It is
independent of input and output streams. The
minimum delay achievable in the MT90823 is three
time-slots. When the input channel data is switched
to the same output channel (channel n, frame p), it
will be output in the following frame (channel n,
frame p+1). The same frame delay occurs if the input
channel n is switched to output channel n+1 or n+2.
When input channel n is switched to output channel
n+3, n+4,..., the new output data will appear in the
same frame. Table 2 shows the possible delays for
the MT90823 in the variable delay mode.

Constant Delay Mode (V/C bit = 1)
In this mode, frame integrity is maintained in all
switching configurations by using a multiple data
memory buffer. Input channel data written into the
data memory buffers during frame n will be read out
during frame n+2.
In the MT90823, the minimum throughput delay
achievable in the constant delay mode is one frame.
For example, in 2 Mb/s mode, when input time-slot
31 is switched to output time-slot 0. The maximum
delay of 94 time-slots occurs when time-slot 0 in a
frame is switched to time-slot 31 in the frame. See
Table 3.
Microprocessor Interface
The MT90823 provides a parallel microprocessor
interface for non-multiplexed or multiplexed bus
structures. This interface is compatible with Motorola
non-multiplexed and multiplexed buses.
If the IM pin is low, the MT90823 microprocessor
interface assumes Motorola non-multiplexed bus
mode. If the IM pin is high, the device micro-
processor interface accepts two different timing
modes (mode1 and mode2) which allows direct
connection to multiplexed microprocessors.
The microprocessor interface automatically identifies
the type of microprocessor bus connected to the
MT90823. This circuit uses the level of the DS/RD
