Product Summary

The CN8478EPF is a multichannel synchronous communications controller (MUSYCC) that format and deformat up to 256 (CN8478), 128 (CN8474A), 64 (CN8472A), or 32 (CN8471A) HDLC channels in a single CMOS integrated circuit. MUSYCC operates at Layer 2 of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocol reference model. The CN8478EPF provides a comprehensive, high-density solution for processing HDLC channels for internetworking applications such as Frame Relay, ISDN D-channel signaling, X.25, Signaling System 7 (SS7), DXI, ISUP, and LAN/WAN data transport. Under minimal host supervision, The CN8478EPF manages a linked list of channel data buffers in host memory by performing Direct Memory Access (DMA) of the HDLC channels.
