The DS21Q55 is a quad software-selectable T1, E1,
or J1 MCM device for short-haul and long-haul
applications. Each port is composed of a line
interface unit (LIU), framer, HDLC controllers, and a
TDM backplane interface, and is controlled by an
8-bit parallel port configured for Intel or Motorola
bus operations. The DS21Q55 is software compatible
with the DS2155 single-chip transceiver. It is pin
compatible with the DS21Qx5y family of products.
