NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel Handler daughterboard

•

Sanity check and self tests

•

Message handling between the Option 11C and the card

•

Four port serial communication controller handling with DMA

•

Program download from Option 11C CPU

One microprocessor handles data transfer between each serial interface
and software, reports the status of each port and takes commands from
the software to control the activities of the ports. A high performance MPU
supports the D-channel from the PRI card and other software applications
running simultaneously on other ports of the DDCH card.

The microprocessor performs the following functions:

•

sanity check and self tests

•

message handling between the CS 1000 and the card

•

four port serial communication controller handling with Direct Memory
Access (DMA)

•

program download from the CS 1000 SSC

Main memory

The main 68EC020 system memory is comprised of 1 Mbyte of SRAM
and is accessible in 8 or 16 bits. The software, base code and application
reside in main RAM and is downloaded from the software through the
shared memory.

The main 68EC020 system memory is comprised of 1 Mbyte of SRAM
and may be accessed in either 8 or 16 bits. The software, base code and
application, resides in main RAM and is downloaded from software through
the shared memory.

Shared memory

The shared memory is the interface between the CPU and the 68EC020
MPU. This memory is a 16 Kbyte RAM, expandable to 64 kbytes and
accessible in 8 or 16 bits.

The shared memory is the interface between the Option 11C CPU and the
