The M2852x family of devices provides system designers with a complete integrated IMA solution for up to 32 ports. All devices include a transmission convergence (TC) block to perform cell delineation, 512 K internal RAM to meet ATM forum requirements for differential delay compensation and a dual mode (UTOPIA or Serial) PHY layer interface. Source code for all required software functions is available from Mindspeed. The M28529 supports 32 IMA groups with 1-32 links per group while the M28525 supports 16 IMA groups and 1-16 links per group.
The TC block is capable of bit level cell delineation, which allows for direct connection DSL serial data streams without a frame sync pulse. Individual ports can be operated in a ‘pass thru ’ mode without the IMA overhead.
The devices provide designers with maximum design flexibility by including 3 PHY interfaces to choose from: UTOPIA Level 2, Serial TDM, or 8 MHz interleaved highway. In addition, an external memory bus allows the differential delay memory to access up to 2 Mbytes of external RAM. The M2852x supports both version 1.0 and 1.1 of IMA standard AF-PHY-0086.001.
