1. MAIN FEATURES

Layer 1
40 independent bit-synchronous physical ports

capable of speeds up to 52Mbps

Each port can be independently configured
Loopback in both directions (receive to transmit

and transmit to receive)

On-board BERT generation and detection
HDLC
40 independent full-duplex HDLC channels
132Mbps throughput in both the receive and

transmit directions with a 33MHz PCI clock

Transparent mode
Automatic flag detection and generation
Shared opening and closing flag
Interframe fill
Zero stuffing and destuffing
CRC16/32 checking and generation
Abort detection and generation
CRC error and long/short frame-error detection
Bit flip
Invert data
FIFO
Large 8kB receive and 8kB transmit buffers

maximize PCI bus efficiency

Small block size of 16 Bytes allows maximum

flexibility

Programmable low and high watermarks
Programmable HDLC channel priority setting

DMA
Efficient scatter-gather DMA minimizes PCI bus

accesses (same as the DS3134 Chateau)

Programmable small and large buffer sizes up to

8191 Bytes and algorithm select

Descriptor bursting to conserve PCI bus

bandwidth

Programmable packet-storage address offset
Identical receive and transmit descriptors

minimize host processing in store-and-
forward

Automatic channel disabling and enabling on

transmit errors

Receive packets are timestamped
Transmit packet priority setting
PCI Bus
32-bit, 33MHz
Version 2.1 Compliant; See t5 in the PCI Bus

AC Characteristics for a 1ns exception.
Note: This does not affect real-world
designs. DS3131 V

IH

is also slightly higher

than the PCI specification, as detailed in the
first page of Section

13

.

Contains extension signals that allow adoption to

custom buses

Can burst up to 256 32-bit words to maximize

bus efficiency

Local Bus
Can operate as a bridge from the PCI bus or a

configuration bus

Can arbitrate for the bus when in bridge mode
8 or 16 bits wide
Supports a 1MB address space when in bridge

mode

Supports Intel and Motorola bus timing
JTAG Test Access
3.3V low-power CMOS with 5V tolerant I/Os
272-pin plastic BGA package (27mm x 27mm)
