MT8952BP1

The MT8952B HDLC Protocol Controller frames and formats data packets according to X.25 (Level 2) Recommendations from the CCITT. The MT8952B HDLC Protocol Controller handles bit oriented protocol structure and formats the data as per the packet switching protocol defined in the X.25 (Level 2) recommendations of the CCITT. It transmits and receives the packeted data (information or control) serially in a format shown in Figure 3, while providing the data transparency by zero insertion and deletion. It generates and detects the flags, various link channel states and the abort sequence. Further, it provides a cyclic redundancy check on the data packets using the CCITT defined polynomial. In addition, it can generate and detect a Go Ahead sequence and recognize a single byte address in the received frame. There is also a provision to disable the protocol functions and provide transparent access to the serial bus through the parallel port.
