Description
The MT90866 Digital Switch provides switching
capacities of 4,096 x 2,432 channels between
backplane and local streams, 2,432 x 2,432
channels among local streams and 2,048 x 2,048
channels among backplane streams. The local
connected serial inputs and outputs have 32, 64 and
128 64kb/s channels per frame with data rates of
2.048, 4.096 and 8.192Mb/s respectively. The
backplane connected serial inputs and outputs have
128 and 256 64kb/s channels per frame with data
rates of 8.192 and 16.384Mb/s respectively.
The MT90866 also offers a sub-rate switching
configuration which allows 2-bit wide 16kb/s or 4-bit
wide 32kb/s data channels to be switched within the
device.
The device has features that are programmable on
per-stream or per-channel basis including message
mode, input delay offset, output advancement offset,
direction control and high impedance output control.

Application Overview
The MT90866 is intended for carrier-grade
applications that require high bandwidth switching
capability. With compliance to the ECTF H.110
specification, it is also suitable for using a compact
PCI platform.
While the Computer Telephony Interface (CTI)
industry is adopting the compact PCI platform over
VME, many manufacturers of telecom and datacom
equipment are also selecting this platform. The
compact PCI platform offers attractive features such
as hot swappable cards, integrated PCI and H.110
TDM buses, and a rugged backplane and
mechanical design. This new standard is replacing
the older ribbon-cable based bus standards such as
MVIP-90, H-MVIP and SCbus.
Carrier-grade access, switching platforms, wireless
base stations, and gateways (i.e. VOIP) may handle
multiple T1/E1, DS-3 or OC-3 streams for connection
to the WAN or PSTN. Multiple lower bandwidth
interfaces are consolidated into these higher
bandwidth pipes for networking into a WAN or PSTN.
While these types of equipment serve different
applications and markets, many share a similar type
of internal architecture. Frequently, a mid-plane or
backplane configuration is used, which may
accommodate a TDM bus, for compatibility to TDM
interfaces (ISDN, Sonet, T1/E1, etc.), and a PCI bus,
for interfacing to LAN networks and the IP network.
In many cases, a Utopia bus may be present if ATM
is used as an uplink to the WAN or PSTN. Interfacing
into this midplane or backplane would be lower
bandwidth subscriber linecards and higher
bandwidth WAN uplink linecards.
By locating TDM switching on the linecard itself, as
opposed to a centralized switching card, system
designers employ a distributed switching
arrangement. In this case, the MT90866 allows for
local to backplane switching of DS-0 traffic from
trunks or local connection such as internal DSP
cards (compression, echo cancellation, modem
termination). Unique to the industry, the MT90866
provides backplane switching, eliminating the need
to move the traffic to the local streams and back.
This feature allows users to move traffic among the
backplane traces for routing to other destinations.
On the uplink linecard side, the MT90866 allows the
users to interface to multiple T1 or E1 or DS-3 or
OC-3 ports. With the ability to take 2,432 channels
from 4,096 channels on the backplane and to switch
