4-165
which contain the non-frame alignment pattern
contain within the bit 1 position, a 6 bit CRC
multiframe alignment signal and two spare bits (in
frames 13 and 15), which are used for CRC error
performance reporting (refer to Figure 6). During the
CRC encoding procedure the CRC bit positions are
initially set at zero. The remainder of the calculation
is stored and inserted into the respective CRC bits of
the next SMF. The decoding process repeats the
multiplication division process and compares the
remainder with the CRC bits received in the next
SMF.
The two spare bits (denoted Si1 and Si2 in Figure 6)
in the CRC-4 multiframe are used to monitor far-end
error performance. The results of the CRC-4
comparisons for the previously received SMFII and
SMFI are encoded and transmitted back to the far
end in the Si bits (refer to Table 1).
ST-BUS Interface
The ST-BUS is a synchronous time division
multiplexed serial bus with data streams operating at
2048 kbit/s and configured as 32, 64 kbit/s channels
(refer Figure 7). Synchronization of the data transfer
is provided from a frame pulse, which identifies the
frame boundaries and repeats at an 8 kHz rate.
Figure 17 shows how the frame pulse (F0i) defines
the ST-BUS frame boundaries. All data is clocked
into the device on the falling edge of the 2048 kbit/s
clock (C2i), while data is clocked out on the rising
edge of the 2048 kbit/s clock at the start of the bit
cell.

Data Input (DSTi)
The MT8979 receives information channels on the
DSTi pin. Of the 32 available channels on this
serial input, 30 are defined as information channels.
They are channels 1-15 and 17-31. These 30
timeslots are the 30 telephone channels of the CEPT
format numbered 1-15 and 16-30. Timeslot 0 and 16
are unused to allow the synchronization and
signalling information to be inserted, from the Control
Streams (CSTi0 and CSTi1). The relationship
between the input and output ST-BUS stream and
the CEPT line is illustrated in Figures 8 to 12. In
common channel signalling mode timeslot 16
becomes an active channel. In this mode channel 16
on DSTi is transmitted on timeslot 16 of the CEPT
link unaltered. This mode is activated by bit 5 of
channel 31 of CSTi0.
