CSTo
Control ST-BUS Output (Output). This is a 2.048 Mb/s output containing 256 bits per
frame. The level of each bit is determined by the CSTo bit in the Connect Memory high
locations.

AS/ALE Address Strobe or Latch Enable (5 V tolerant Input). This input is only used if
multiplexed bus is selected via the IM input pin.
The falling edge of this signal is used to sample the address into the address latch
circuit. When the non-multiplexed bus interface is selected, this input is not required
and should be connected to ground.

IM
CPU Interface Mode (5 V tolerant Input). If HIGH, this input configures the MT89L86
in the multiplexed microprocessor bus mode. When this input pin is connected to
ground, the MT89L86 assumes non-multiplexed CPU interface.
STi15/ ST-BUS Input 15 / ST-BUS Output 9 (Input/three-state output). This pin is only used
STo9
if multiplexed CPU bus is selected. If 16-input x 8-output switching configuration is
enabled in the SCB bits (IMS register), this pin is an input receiving serial ST-BUS
stream 15 at a data rate of 2.048 Mbit/s.
If Stream Pair Selection capability is enabled (see switching configuration section), this
pin is the ST-BUS stream 9 output.
When non-multiplexed bus structure is used, this pin should be connected to ground.

STi14/ ST-BUS Input 14 / ST-BUS Output 8 (Input/three-state output). This pin is only used
STo8
if multiplexed CPU bus is selected. If 16-input x 8-output switching configuration is
enabled in the SCB bits (IMS register), this pin is an input that receives serial ST-BUS
stream 14 at a data rate of 2.048 Mbit/s.
If Stream Pair Selection capability is enabled (see switching configuration section), this
pin is the ST-BUS stream 8 output.
When non-multiplexed bus structure is used, this pin should be connected to ground.
Device Overview
With the integration of voice, video and data services in the same network, there has been an increasing demand
for systems which ensure that data at N x 64 kb/s rates maintain sequence integrity while being transported through
time-slot interchange circuits. This requirement demands time-slot interchange devices which perform switching
with constant throughput delay for wideband data applications while maintaining minimum delay for voice channels.
The MT89L86 device meets the above requirement and allows existing systems based on the MT8980D to be
easily upgraded to maintain the data integrity when wideband data is transported. The device is designed to switch
32, 64 or N x 64 bit/s data. This MT89L86 can provide frame integrity for data applications and minimum throughput
switching delay for voice applications on a per channel basis.
The serial streams of the MT89L86 can operate at 2.048, 4.096 or 8.192 Mbit/s and are arranged in 125 s wide
frames which contain 32, 64 and 128 channels, respectively. In addition, a built-in rate conversion circuit allows the
user to interconnect various backbone speeds like 2.048 or 4.096 or 8.192 Mb/s while maintaining the control of
throughput delay function on a per-channel basis.
By using Zarlink Message mode capability, the microprocessor can access input and output time-slots on a per
channel basis to control external circuits or other ST-BUS devices. This MT89L86 automatically identifies the
polarity of the frame synchronization input signal and configures its serial port to be compatible to both ST-BUS and
GCI formats.
