Do the Maxim T1 devices support SLC-96?
A6. Because of the complexity of the SLC-96 specification, special synchronization circuitry, data registers, and status registers were added to the T1 devices that allow the system designer to take advantage of the SLC-96 functionality. Maxim T1 devices like the DS2141A, DS2151, DS2152, DS21352, DS21552, and DS2155 are capable of SLC-96 operation in both transmit and receive directions. On the receive side, the devices are able to synchronize onto a received SLC-96 pattern and extract the message bits. On the transmit side, the devices are able to insert the SLC-96 synchronization pattern and message bits. The devices also have the option to perform SLC-96 functions externally through hardware pins or internally through software registers and interrupts.
