30. FRACTIONAL T1/E1 SUPPORT
The DS21Q55 can be programmed to output gapped clocks for selected channels in the receive and
transmit paths to simplify connections into a USART or LAPD controller in fractional T1/E1 or ISDN-
PRI applications. This is accomplished by assigning an alternate function to the RCHCLK and TCHCLK
pins. When the gapped clock feature is enabled, a gated clock is output on the RCHCLK and/or TCHCLK
pins. The channel selection is controlled via the special per-channel control registers. No clock is
generated at the F-bit position. The receive and transmit paths have independent enables. Channel formats
supported include 56kbps and 64kbps.
When 56kbps mode is selected, the clock corresponding to the data/control bit in the channel is omitted.
Only the seven most significant bits of the channel have clocks.
