Description
SPECIFICATION
Electronic switching system
The present invention relates to electronic switching systems for telecommunication exchanges and more particularly to time division multiplex address and control systems for the control of the passage of data along highways in the system.
According to the present invention there is provided a time division multiplex address and controller system for a telecommunication exchange said control system comprising a time division multiplex digital switch controller a common control computer, a plurality of shelves of equipment containing telephony groups, in which the time division multiplex digital switch control is addressed by the computer as one of said shelves of equipment to insert control information into said time division multiplex switch controller to control the passage of information in between the shelves and between the shelves the common control computer.

With reference to Figures 1 and 2, the computer 10 issues instructions to the controller 20 along bus 12. The controller 20 may for example be connected into a digital telecommunication exchange as described in the above co-pending patent application. The operation of the controller 20 will be described by way of example.
In operation the computer inserts two addresses in a connection table in the controller 20. One is the address of the card to transmit the information and can go in ABO or AB 1 and the other is the address of the receive register in the controller. This causes information to be passed from a card in the system to the receive register so that the information is readable by the computer 10.
The controller (DSC) interfaces signals between the Common Control shelf 12 and the Intershelf bus (108, 110, 112) in a manner illustrated by the timing diagrams of Figures 4 to 9. Where signal codes are given in this specification such as for example DS60 these refer to codes allocated by Data
General for their Nova computer range.
The DSC 20 communicates with the Computer 10 via a 16 bit DATA 0--15 bus (12) and with the telephony group shelves along the ISB via three 6 bit buses i.e. ABO 1-15, AB1 1-15 and DBO- 15,108,110, 112-Figure2.
A command word is received along the DATA 0--15 bus 12 from the computer 10 and inserted into the correct time slot and onto the correct address bus in the connection table as signified by the computer. Data is also received and transmitted along the DATA 0--15 bus on the common control shelf and along the DBO--15 on the ISB 112.
Other facilities available are a Read Opposite Bus command where an address bus output can be read back to the computer, and Release Bus command which causes all telephony groups 100 to stop transmitting DATA along the TDM shelves.
When the device select code, DS60, and the data output A, DOA, signals are received from the computer on lines 13 the command on DATA 0--1 5 bus 12 is written into the ABO ram during the positive half of DCLK (see Figure 4) at the address specified by the entry address logic. Similarly for
DS60 and DOB signals received on lines 13 data is written into the AB 1 ram. Commands as exemplified below may be sent to the TDM by addressing shelf 0. The TDM interrogates AB 8-1 sand decodes the appropriate command as shown in Table 1.

X=Don't Care
When a Read Opposite Bus ROB command is decoded on the ABO bus the AB1 command word is copied on the DB bus and read into the receive register to be read by the computer. Similarly on the
AB1 bus an ROB command reads the ABO word into the receive register. This facility is used to test the
TDM 20 and the intershelf bus for data integrity.
When a Release Bus command is decoded a RLS BUS signal is output on the intershelf bus which causes all telephony groups, from transmitting.
When a Transmit Upper Byte command generated by the computer 10 is decoded the data in the
Upper Byte Register is enabled onto DBO--7 on the Intershelf Bus.
When a Transmit Lower Byte command is decoded the data held in the Lower Byte Transmit
Register is enabled onto DB8-1 5 on the Intershelf Bus 112.
When a Transmit Both Bytes command is decoded DBO--7 and DB8-1 6 are enabled onto the
Intershelf Bus 112.
See timing diagrams for reiative timings of these signals.
When a Receiving command is decoded by the DSC the data present on the Data bus of ISB is latched into the Receive Register.
For relative timings of this command see Figure 7.
With reference to Figure 3 the controller 20 is shown in block diagrammatic form in greater detail. Signals (Data bits 0--1 5) are received from controller on bus 12. Except where otherwise indicated each line represents a 1 6 bit bus, other bus widths being indicated by numerals.
The controller 20 comprises a command register 202 the output of which is connected to two address buffers 204, 206 for ABO and AB 1, the outputs of these buffers 204, 206 are connected respective to ABO and AB 1 random access memories 208, 210 the entry of information into these memories being controlled by a random access memory address multiplex circuit 212 clocked by an address counter 21 4 driven by the A clock, the multiplexer 212 being controlled by an entry address register 21 6 which receives address instructions from bus 1 2.
Addresses output from memory 208 are latched by a latch 21 8 and subsequently clocked to an address bus driver 220. A read back address circuit 222 is connected to bus 1 08. The outputs of circuit 222 are connected to transmit upper register and transmit lower register circuits 224, 226. The transmit upper and lower registers 224, 226 are also connected to data bus drivers upper and lower 228, 230 to enable data from bus 12 to be transmitted onto the upper and lower bytes of bus 112.
Similarly RAM 210 is connected to a latch 232 and to an AB1 driver 234 to output address information onto address bus 110. Bus 110 is connected to a read back address circuit 236 which is connected to the bus drivers 228, 230.
The address buses 11 2 (Date bus upper and lower) are connected to a receive register 238 which outputs data to an input/output bus driver 240 the output of which is connected to bus 12.
In operation the entry address register 21 6 dictates the address at which data is written into both
RAM's 208 and 210. The multiplexer 212 provides a 10 bit address for both RAMS 208, 210. Also information stored in the RAM's 208, 21 0 can be read out and fed via input/output bus driver 240 back to the computer via bus 12 for checking.
Also address information output on address buses 108 and 110 can be read back via circuits 222 and 236 respectively and fed via drivers 228, 230 and receive register 238 to driver 240 and hence back to the computer for checking.
The connection table is a Time Division Multiplexed addressing system consisting of 512 slots each 32 bits wide. Each slot is divided into two 1 6 bit buses one of which loads into the ABO bus and the other onto the AB1 bus. Shown below is the bit allocation for the 16 bit command word which is loaded onto the address buses.
MSB. O 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 LSB SHELF SLOT CARD ADDRESS ADDRESS COMMAND The connection table logic is RAM based (see Figure 3B) with two ways of accessing the RAM.
The addresses used to access the RAM are output from a 2-1 multiplexer 212 which selects 1 of 2 available addresses. The first address which is used to access the RAM during a read cycle is generated by a 1-512 cyclic clocked by the positive going edge of D clock, as this clock is actually a combination of D and A clock as described hereinafter (see Figure 9).
The second address available is the address which is latched into the Entry Address latch on receipt of a Data out C DATOC and DS60 as mentioned hereinafter.
These addresses are selected by DCLK where the output of the cyclic counter is enabled during the negative cycle of the clock and the Entry Address output on the positive cycle of the clock. Both addresses are used to access the RAM but during a read cycle it is only the data accessed by the cyclic counter address which is enabled onto the ABO and AB 1 buses.
When a DATOA or DATOB and DS60 signals are received, as mentioned hereinbefore, the command output on DATOA--1 5 by the computer is written into the connection table rams.
The address output by the Entry Address Registers 21 6, and enabled by the 2-1 multiplexer 212, is used to access the RAM and the data in the command registers in the computer 10 is written into the RAM by a WE signal derived from DCLK, see diagram figure 8.
When a system normalise signal is received, the 2-1 multiplexer 21 2 permanently selects the output from the cyclic counter and a "no operation" (NOP) is written into all locations in the connection table RAM. this operation clears the connection table of all commands.
Time slots 512 and 1 to 7 are called the Immediate Field and are treated differently to the other time slots 8-511. Time slots 8-511 are the non-immediate field and are used continuously for card reading whereas time slots 512 and 1 to 7 are used for the control of hardware-e.g. operating relays.
When the count of 512 from the counter is decoded the ABO and AB 1 drivers 220 which buffer commands onto the ISB are disabled, when the count of 8 is decoded the drivers are enabled.
Therefore under normal operating conditions the commands in the Immediate Field are not output onto the ISB. If the input output pulse IOPLS, signal is received from the computer the ABO and AB 1 buffer disabling logic is disabled and during the next full immediate field the commands in slots 512 and 1 to 7 are output on the ISB 112.
The immediate field is used to generate special commands to receive and transmit status or to Up and Down cards.
Output onto the ISB is a signal called TSO which is the 512 count decode signal from the counter clocked by DCLK to give a pulse once every frame.
When a DATOC and DS60 signal is received from the computer the data present on DATA 6-1 5 from the computer is loaded into the Entry Address Register 216 (Figure 3). The information received is an address in the range 1 to 512 and is the connection table slot number selected by the computer for the next command word output from the computer. The contents of the register is used to address the
ABO orAB1 rams on receipt of a DOA60 or DOB60 as described previously.
When a Data in A (DIA) and DS60 signal is received from the computer the command word in the specified time slot, ABO is output onto the common control DATA 0--15 bus. Similarly when a Data in
B (DIB) and DS60 is received the word in AB 1 is output onto DATA 0--1 5.
The functionality of the DSC is indicated by the state of an UP/DOWN latch. If a CLR and DS61 signal is received from the computer, the UP/DOWN latch is set to DOWN. This occurs when the computer decides to disable the DSC due possibly to a malfunction. An LED is illuminated indicating the DSC is DOWN. If a STRT and DS61 signal is received the UP/DOWN latch is set to UP and the LED is extinguished. The UP/DOWN latch is set to UP when the equipment is brought into use by the reset signal IORST. With reference to Figure 2 if the A side DSC is "DOWN" the B side DSC takes over control of the exchange.
When WORST or the CLR, DS61 are received the 1-512 counters are cleared to 1, and SYN is sent up the ISB to UP the other cards in the system. A SYN signal fills the connection table with NOPs.
The data from the Common Control Computer, DATA 0--15 is latched into the Transmit
Registers on receipt of DATOC and DS61 signals from the computer.
The data latched in the Receive Register is output to the computer as DATA 0--1 5 on receipt of
DATIA and DS61 signals from the computer.
From a basic crystal controlled clock of 1 6.384 MHz generated on the TDM, two clock signals
ACLK and DCLK are generated and used to control the timing of commands and data manipulation along the ISB and along the highway 12. Both clocks are 4.096 MHz 50.50 mark space ratio signals with ACLK leading DCLK by 90 . An option exists to sync the clocks to a 2.048MHz clock from a Trunk
Controller or other suitable external clock source.
The DSC 20 monitors the six device select bits DSO--5 when the computer 10 sends codes 60 and 61 the signals DS60 and DS61 are generated and the following DSC functions are enabled.

The power supply voltage for the system is +5+0.25 Volts. This supply is decoupled by a 15,uF bulk decoupling capacitor and a 1 OnF capacitor at every dilic position.
With reference now to Figure 11 the shelf interface circuit 104 is shown in greater detail. The circuit receives addresses on the two address buses 108, 110. Five bits of each address are decoded in decode circuits 302, 304 to produce respective shelf enable circuits on lines 306, 308. The remaining
11 bits are buffered in buffers 310, 312 and used as shelf bus addresses on shelf address buses B ABO and B AB1.
Data is received and transmitted on bus 112 as two sets of eight bits designated upper and lower bytes on buses 314, 31 6. These are received and transmitted by bi-directional buffers 318, 320, onto shelf buses B DATA BUS UPPER 322 and B DATA BUS LOWER 324. Control of passage of data from buffers 318, 320 is by a DOUT UPPER and DOUT LOWER signal.
Referring now to Figure 2, the interface circuit 1 of the present invention is shown interposed between the telephony groups 100 and the shelf bus S1.
With reference to Figure 1 2 the interface circuit comprises an address comparator 22 connected via an AND gate 3 to a timing control circuit 24 which selectively controls the operation of a latching circuit 25, a decoding circuit 26 and an output controller 27.
The interface circuit as shown in Figures 12 and 13 is preferably constructed as an uncommitted logic array (ULA) and will be referred to as such for purposes of timing sequences.
The card address contained in the address word (bits 5-9) is compared in comparator 22 to the hard-wired TDM motherboard card slot address (CAD 1-5). If all bits match then the SHELF ENABLE initiates a command cycle via AND gate 23.
For gate economy with the ULA, 5 of the latches in the 6 bit latch 25 are "transparent" level triggered latches. The clock is CARD ENABLE gated with DCLOCK to ensure that input data is stable during the whole clock period. The other data latch has a PRESET input to ensure the card does not power up in the DOWN mode.
The command structure is as per table 1 figure 20. The decode section generates the appropriate demands to the output control section.
The MODE pin is normally hard wired to a specific logic function depending on the function of the associated cards. The MODE pin, when high, permits an extra transmit pulse to be generated during a receive cycle for codec applications, codecs being used to convert analogue signals for use by the telephone subscribers.
When MODE pin is low, it effectively connects ADVANCE RECEIVE OUT to ADVANCE RECEIVE IN internally. No output is produced from ADVANCE RECEIVE OUT.
A two time slot delay is introduced by delay 28 for generation of the receive pulse at the correct time.
For a codec of a telephony group, two ULA's are received. The transceive command given to either ULA generates a TRANSMIT pulse and a RECEIVE pulse. However, the RECEIVE is required from the other ULA to control the other half of the data bus for the receive data. To achieve this, the
ADVANCE RECEIVE OUT and ADVANCE RECEIVE IN are cross coupled between the two ULA's. The
MODE pin on each ULA is set high.
On signal ULA applications, the MODE pin is set low which effectively gates together ADVANCE
RECEIVE OUT and ADVANCE RECEIVE IN internally.
UP and DOWN commands are fully decoded from all six address bits (10--15) and a single bit latch in output control 27 is set accordingly.
In the DOWN state no outputs except CARD ENABLE, DOWN and BAB 1-15 will occur if other commands are given. Only P3 RESET, SYN or UP command will restore the logic.
All timing is initiated by appropriate edges of ACLOCK and DCLOCK. To minimise delay in parts of the circuit, the clocks are buffered to the non critical areas inside the ULA. The "fast" clocks are denoted with an asterisk and are fed directly without buffering.
On receipt of CARD ENABLE, the timing control produces two enables and a clock.
The clock is a combination of CARD ENABLE and DCLOCK for the 6 bit latch as hereinbefore described.
The enables are:a) CLOCKED ENABLE
As the output from the 6 bit latch 5 does not change until the next command, CLOCKED ENABLE allows only one ADVANCE RECEIVE OUT pulse to be generated if AB 15 is high or DOUT if AB 15 is low.
Command DOUT tells the shelf interface in Figure 1 to drive out or to receive information. DOUT can be common or DOUT upper or DOUT lower. If DOUT upper or lower is selected information is only transmitted on the upper portion of the highway and vice versa.
b) ULA ENABLE
This is CARD ENABLE stretched to 1.1/2 D Clocks long. It indicates that the ULA is about to initiate a transmit or receive cycle.
The output control 7 gates together the output demands from the decode section and the timing control signals.
a) DOUT
A 3/4 clock pulse initiated by CLOCKED ENABLE and TRANSMIT DEMAND to prepare the shelf interface card for data reception. Open collector output is used for commoning with the other cards on the shelf.
b) ADVANCE RECEIVE OUT
Receive pulse command delayed by 2 clocks. One ACLOCK cycle long.
c) RECEIVE
Generated by ADVANCE RECEIVE IN or internally gated ADVANCE RECEIVE OUT, clocked out by
ACLOCK as a 1/2 clock pulse.
d) ULA ENABLE
1.1/2 D clocks long expansion of CARD ENABLE brought out for Codec card timing.
e) DOWN
Open collector driver for DOWN light emitting diode indicator to indicate when the card in nonoperational.
f) CARD RESET
Generated by either SYN (system normalise) or P3 RESET from the unbilical connector which is used for inserting or removing a board of a telephony group g) CARD ENABLE
1/2 clock pulse generated by SHELF ENABLE when the address bits 5-9 match the 5 bit card address (CAD 1-5).
h) BUS TRANSCEIVER ENABLE
This controls data transfer to the common data bus, therefore delays to this signal must be minimal. This is ensured by starting and finishing the pulse with ACLK* and DCLK* with latch backup.
DCLK and DCLK* are continuously attempting to reset the Bus Transceiver Enable BTE latch and inhibit the output gate. Either DOUT, ADVANCE RECEIVE IN or ADVANCE RECEIVE OUT (with MODE set low) suppress DCLK* and DCLK for one cycle and permit ACLK* to initiate the pulse and set the
BTE latch.
The next DCLK* terminates the pulse.
i) TRANSMIT
Similar action and timing to BUS TRANSCEIVER ENABLE but only DOUT initiates the pulse together with ACLK* to start the pulse a half clock cycle earlier. This gives time to prepare data for output and sets the direction of the bus transceivers.
