17. CHANNEL BLOCKING REGISTERS
The receive-channel blocking registers (RCBR1/RCBR2/RCBR3/RCBR4) and the transmit-channel
blocking registers (TCBR1/TCBR2/TCBR3/TCBR4) control the RCHBLK and TCHBLK pins,
respectively. The RCHBLK and TCHBLK pins are user-programmable outputs that can be forced high or
low during individual channels. These outputs can be used to block clocks to a USART or LAPD
controller in ISDN–PRI applications. When the appropriate bits are set to a one, the RCHBLK and
TCHBLK pin will be held high during the entire corresponding channel time. Channels 25 through 32 are
ignored when the device is operated in the T1 mode.
Also, the DS21Q55 can internally generate and output a bursty clock on a per-channel basis (N x 64kbps /
56kbps). See Fractional T1/E1 Support.
