DS21Q55

18. ELASTIC STORES OPERATION

The DS21Q55 contains dual two- frame, fully independent elastic stores, one for the receive direction and one for the transmit direction. The transmit- and receive-side elastic stores can be enabled/disabled independent of each other. Also, each elastic store can interface to either a 1.544MHz or 2.048MHz/4.096MHz/8.192MHz/16.384MHz backplane without regard to the backplane rate the other elastic store is interfacing to.

The elastic stores have two main purposes. First, they can be used for rate conversion. When the device is in the T1 mode, the elastic stores can rate-convert the T1 data stream to a 2.048MHz backplane. In E1 mode, the elastic store can rate-convert the E1 data stream to a 1.544MHz backplane. Second, they can be used to absorb the differences in frequency and phase between the T1 or E1 data stream and an asynchronous (not locked) backplane clock (which can be 1.544MHz or 2.048MHz). In this mode, the elastic stores will manage the rate difference and perform controlled slips, deleting or repeating frames of data in order to manage the difference between the network and the backplane.

The elastic stores can also be used to multiplex T1 or E1 data streams into higher backplane rates. See Interleaved PCM Bus Operation.
