ABSTRACT:
A data link controller is provided which is suitable for use in ISDN applications, employing bit-oriented protocols. The data link controller can be operated in a time-division multiplexed mode or a non-time-division multiplexed mode. In the multiplexed mode, data in one of up to thirty-one selectable time slots is received by the data link controller under control of a microprocessor. One of the time slots can be selected via the microprocessor which allows a lengthened contiguous number of bits to be received, effectively increasing the reception rate. In the non-multiplexed mode, data is received in a continuous stream. In the multiplexed mode, up to thirty-one time slots are available for transmission of data. One of the time slots can be selected which allows a lengthened continuous number of bits to be transmitted, effectively increasing the transmission rate. In the lengthened configuration, by doubling the length of the time slot, two 64 kbps B-channels can act as a single 128 kbps channel.
