Functional disimilarities among DS21Q55, DS21Q50 and DS21Q59.

DS21Q55 can do all the functional operations that DS21Q50 and DS21Q59 can do. Below are the functions that DS2155 can perform but DS21Q50 or DS21Q59 can not perform.

1.	E1, T1 and J1 operation. Both the devices DS21Q50 and DS21Q59 are for E1 only.
2.	JATG Capabilities: Each device (DS2155) has its own JTAG state machine and therefore is treated as 4 separate devices when testing. Each DS2155 IEEE 1149.1 design supports the standard instruction codes SAMPLE/PRELOAD, BYPASS, and EXTEST. Optional public instructions included are HIGH-Z, CLAMP, and IDCODE.
3.	HDLC controller. The HDLC controllers transmit and receive data via the framer block. The HDLC controllers can be assigned to any time slot, group of time slots, portion of a time slot or Sa bits (E1).
4.	Extended System Information Bus (ESIB) function allows up to eight transceivers, 2 DS21Q55s, to be accessed via a single read for interrupt status or other user selectable alarm status information.
5.	Both the DS21Q50 and DS21Q59 do not have Transmission Elastic Store.
6.	Both the DS21Q50 and DS21Q59 do not have Per Channel Idle Code.
7.	Both the DS21Q50 and DS21Q59 do not have Hardware signalling. The DS21Q50 does not have SW signalling feature either, but DS21Q59 does.

Disimilarities between DS21Q50 and DS21Q59

Register Disimilarities

Most of the registers are the same between the DS21Q50 and DS21Q59. Since the DS21Q59 support CAS/CCS signalling, so it has some extra registers that are not available on DS21Q50.

Signaling Operation of DS21Q59

These Signaling Access Registers are not available on DS21Q50. Registers SA1 and SA16 are used to access the transmit and receive signaling function. Normally, reading these registers accesses the receive signaling data and writing these registers sources signaling data for the transmitter. The user can read what was written to the transmit signaling buffer by setting CCR6.5 = 1, then reading SA1 - SA16. In most applications however, CCR6.5 should be set = 0.

Receive Signaling

Signaling data is sampled from time slot 16 in the receive data stream and copied into the receive signaling buffers. The host can access the signaling data by reading SA1 through SA16. The signaling information in these registers is always updated on multiframe boundaries. The SR2.7 bit in Status Register 2 can be used to alert the host that new signaling data is present in the receive signaling buffers. The host has 2ms to read the signaling buffers before they are updated.

Transmit Signaling

Insertion of signaling data from the transmit signaling buffers is enabled by setting CCR6.3 = 1. Signaling data is loaded into the transmit-signaling buffers by writing the signaling data to SA1 - SA16. On multiframe boundaries, the contents of the transmit signaling buffer is loaded into a shift register for placement in the appropriate bit position in the outgoing data stream. The user can utilize the transmit multiframe interrupt in status register 2 (SR2.5) to know when to update the signaling bits. The host has 2ms to update the signaling data. The user only needs to update the signaling data that has changed since the last update.

CAS Operation

For CAS mode, the user must provide the CAS alignment pattern (4 zeros in the upper nibble of TS16). Typically this is done by setting the upper 4 bits of SA1 = 0. The lower four bits are alarm bits. The user only needs to update the appropriate channel associated signaling data in SA2 - SA16 on multiframe boundaries.

Disimilarities on Control, ID, and Test Registers

For the DS21Q50, the operation of the DS21Q50 is configured via a set of seven control registers. The DS21Q50 has only five Common Control Registers (CCR1 to CCR5).

The device Identification Register (IDR) is at address 0Fh. The MSB of this read-only register is fixed to a one indicating that an E1 Quad Transceiver is present. The next 3 MSBs are reserved for future use. The lower 4 bits of the device ID register are used to identify the revision of the device. This register exists in Transceiver #1 only. (TS0, TS1 = 0)

The Test registers at addresses 1E, 1F, and 2F hex are used by the factory in testing the DS21Q50. On power-up, the Test registers should be set to 00h in order for the DS21Q50 to operate properly.

For the DS21Q59, the operation of the DS21Q59 is configured via a set of nine control registers. There are seven Common Control Registers (CCR1 to CCR7).

There is a device identification register (IDR) at address 0Fh. The 4 MSBs of this read-only register are fixed to 1 0 0 1, indicating that a DS21Q59 E1 quad transceiver is present. The lower 4 bits of the device ID register are used to identify the revision of the device. This register exists in Transceiver #1 only. (TS0, TS1 = 0)

The test register at addresses 1E, is used by the factory in testing the DS21Q59. On power-up, the test register should be set to 00h in order for the DS21Q59 to operate properly.

Disimilarities on Interrupt Handling

The DS21Q59 is a direct replacement for the DS21Q50 with the addition of improved interrupt handling. IN DS21Q59, some event-based interrupts will occur continuously as long as the event is occurring (RSLIP, SEC, TMF, RMF, TAF, RAF, RCMF). Other event-based interrupts force the INT pin low only once when the event is first detected (LOTC, PRSBD, RDMA, RSA1, RSA0), i.e., the PRBSD interrupt will fire once when the receiver detects the PRBS pattern. IF the receiver continues to receive the PRBS pattern, no more interrupts will fire. If the receiver then detects that PRBS is no longer being sent, the receiver will reset and when it receives the PRBS pattern again, another interrupt will fire.

DS21Q59 can quickly determine which of status registers in the 4 ports are causing an interrupt by reading one of the unused addresses such as 0Ch, 0Dh or 0Eh in any port.
