Overview
IDT728985J from Integrated Device Technology is a 256 × 256 non-blocking time slot interchange (TSI) digital switch IC for ST-BUS®/GCI-compliant telecom systems. It supports eight 2.048 Mb/s RX inputs and eight TX outputs, each carrying 32 × 64 Kbit/s PCM channels, with per-channel variable or constant throughput delay modes and microprocessor-controlled channel mapping via an 8-bit parallel bus.
For engineers reviewing the IDT728985J datasheet, IDT728985J pinout, IDT728985J application, or IDT728985J equivalent, this device serves as a core TSI element in digital PBX, voice-over-PCM multiplexers, ISDN trunk interfaces, and integrated data/multimedia network switching nodes requiring frame integrity, low-latency voice routing, or deterministic delay control.
Technical Context
The IDT728985J implements dual-mode time slot switching-Variable Delay mode (minimum 3-slot latency, ideal for voice) and Constant Delay mode (32–94-slot fixed latency, preserving frame alignment for data). Its internal architecture includes serial-to-parallel converters for eight RX streams, 256-position Data Memory, split Connection Memory (HIGH/LOW), and a timing unit synchronized to 4.096 MHz C4i clock and 8 kHz F0i frame pulse.
It features automatic ST-BUS®/GCI format detection via F0i polarity analysis, three-state TX outputs controlled by ODE and per-channel OE bits, and a non-multiplexed 8-bit microprocessor interface (A0–A5, D0–D7, CS, DS, R/W, DTA) supporting read/write access to Control Register, Connection Memory, and Data Memory (read-only).

Pinout & Package
Package: 44-pin PLCC (J44-1), 0.05″ pitch, 0.65″ × 0.65″ body size, surface-mount compatible with standard PLCC sockets or reflow soldering.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 10, 31) | Ground reference | Dual ground pins ensure stable return path for analog and digital sections; required for noise immunity in high-speed TDM switching. |
| VCC (Pin 22) | +5.0 V power supply | Single 5 V rail powers entire device; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) recommended adjacent to pin. |
| RX0–RX7 (Pins 2–9) | Serial data inputs | Eight 2.048 Mb/s PCM input streams; each carries 32 × 64 Kbit/s time slots; sampled on rising/falling edge of C4i depending on detected ST-BUS®/GCI mode. |
| TX0–TX7 (Pins 11–18) | Three-state serial outputs | Eight 2.048 Mb/s output streams; output state controlled globally by ODE and per-channel by CMH[0]; high-impedance when disabled. |
| F0i (Pin 21) | Frame synchronization input | 8 kHz frame pulse input; automatically identifies polarity and format (ST-BUS® active-low / GCI active-high) to configure internal timing unit. |
| C4i (Pin 20) | Serial clock input | 4.096 MHz master clock; defines bit cell boundaries and drives internal serial-to-parallel/parallel-to-serial conversion logic. |
| A0–A5 (Pins 23–28) | Address inputs | 6-bit address bus selects Control Register (A5=0) or memory locations (A5=1, A0–A4 select channel 0–31 within stream). |
| D0–D7 (Pins 32–39) | Bidirectional data bus | 8-bit parallel interface for CPU read/write to Control Register, Connection Memory LOW/HIGH, and Data Memory (read-only). |
| CS (Pin 12) | Chip select | Active-low enable for microprocessor access; must be asserted with DS to initiate internal read/write cycles. |
| DS (Pin 13) | Data strobe | Active-high signal that latches address and initiates bus transaction; works with CS and R/W to generate internal timing. |
| R/W (Pin 14) | Read/write control | High = read, Low = write; controls direction of D0–D7 during microprocessor interface transactions. |
| DTA (Pin 15) | Data acknowledge | Open-drain, active-low output signaling completion of bus transfer; requires external pull-up; max delay 1220 ns for Data Memory reads. |
| ODE (Pin 29) | Output drive enable | Global three-state control for all TX0–TX7 outputs; LOW forces all outputs to high-impedance regardless of CMH settings. |
| CCO (Pin 30) | Control channel output | 2.048 Mb/s serial output carrying 256 bits/frame (1 bit per channel); bit value sourced from CMH[1] for corresponding channel. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic ST-BUS®/GCI format detection | Eliminates manual configuration: F0i polarity analysis determines interface standard and configures internal timing edges without software intervention. |
| Per-channel delay mode selection | Each of 256 channels independently configured for Variable Delay (voice-optimized) or Constant Delay (data-integrity-critical) via CMH[6]. |
| Split memory addressing architecture | Enables simultaneous CPU access to Connection Memory (LOW/HIGH) and Data Memory using A5 as mode selector and STA bits for stream targeting. |
| Processor Mode and Connection Mode operation | Processor Mode (PE bit set) routes CPU-written CML data directly to TX outputs; Connection Mode uses CML as pointer into Data Memory for switched PCM routing. |
| Guaranteed minimum throughput delay | 3-slot minimum latency in Variable Delay mode ensures real-time voice interconnect; deterministic 32-slot base delay in Constant Delay mode preserves frame sequence. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar time slot interchange applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT728984J | 256 × 128 capacity (half the output channels); identical PLCC-44 package, same 4.096 MHz clock, and ST-BUS®/GCI compatibility. | Suitable for cost-sensitive or lower-port-count systems where only 4 TX outputs are needed instead of 8. | Select IDT728984J when full 256×256 non-blocking matrix is unnecessary and board space or BOM cost optimization is prioritized. |
| Cypress CY22394 | Programmable clock generator with integrated TSI function; supports 64 × 64 switching, 3.3 V operation, and I²C configuration - no native ST-BUS®/GCI auto-detect. | Targeted at mixed-signal SoC clocking + light TSI tasks, not standalone telecom switching; lacks per-channel constant/variable delay control. | Choose CY22394 only for embedded systems needing combined clock synthesis and basic time-slot routing, not carrier-grade TDM switching. |
Compared with IDT728985J, IDT728984J offers reduced port count but identical interface and timing behavior, while CY22394 provides integrated clock generation at the expense of TSI scale, voltage compatibility, and telecom-specific features like automatic format detection and guaranteed frame-aligned delay.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the IDT728985J in a telecom system?
The IDT728985J functions as a 256 × 256 non-blocking time slot interchange digital switch, enabling dynamic, microprocessor-controlled routing of individual 64 Kbit/s PCM channels between eight 2.048 Mb/s serial input and output streams. It is deployed in digital PBX, ISDN multiplexers, and TDM gateways to perform real-time voice/data channel switching while preserving frame integrity and meeting strict telecom timing requirements.
Does the IDT728985J support both ST-BUS® and GCI interface standards?
Yes, the IDT728985J natively supports both ST-BUS® and GCI standards through automatic frame synchronization polarity detection on the F0i input. It internally configures its timing unit to match the detected format-using active-low frame pulses for ST-BUS® and active-high for GCI-without requiring external mode selection or firmware configuration.
How does the IDT728985J achieve deterministic throughput delay in Constant Delay mode?
In Constant Delay mode, the IDT728985J uses a multi-buffer Data Memory architecture to guarantee that input data written during frame N is always read out during frame N+2. This enforces a fixed minimum delay of 32 time slots and ensures frame-aligned output regardless of source/destination channel pairing, which is critical for data applications requiring strict sequence integrity.
What is the role of the ODE pin on the IDT728985J?
The ODE (Output Drive Enable) pin on the IDT728985J acts as a global three-state control for all eight TX0–TX7 serial outputs. When ODE is driven LOW, all TX outputs enter high-impedance state irrespective of per-channel settings in Connection Memory HIGH. This allows safe power-up initialization and system-level output isolation.
Can the IDT728985J operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No, the IDT728985J is specified exclusively for +5.0 V ±5% operation (4.75–5.25 V). Its electrical characteristics-including VIH/VIL thresholds, output drive strength, and internal logic levels-are validated only at 5 V. Using 3.3 V will result in undefined behavior, failed timing margins, and potential functional failure.
