= Bus Activity
DR = Deactivation Request
AR = Activation Request
Sync

= Frame Sync Signal
A = Activation bit
Time out = 32 ms Timer Signal
Note 1: signal is not timebase locked to NT.
Note 2: Sync/BA bit of the Status Register
is configured as Sync bit when
AR = 1 and DR = 0, or as BA bit
when AR = 0 or DR = 1. A change in
the state of the AR and/or DR bits
will cause a change in the function
of the Sync/BA bit in the following
ST-BUS frame.

Line Wiring Configuration
The MT8930C can interface to any of the three
wiring configurations which are specified by CCITT
Recommendation I.430 and ANSI T1.605 (refer to
Figs. 8 to 10). These consist of a point-to-point or
one of the two point-to-multipoint configurations (i.e.,
short passive bus or the extended passive bus). The
selection of line configurations is performed using
the timing bit (B4 of NT Mode Control Register).
For the short passive bus, TE devices are connected
at random points along the cable. However, for the
extended passive bus all connection points are
grouped at the far end of the cable from the NT.
For an NT SNIC in fixed timing mode, the VCO and
Rx filters/peak detectors are disabled and the
threshold voltage is fixed. However, for a TE SNIC
or an NT SNIC (in adaptive timing mode), the VCO
and Rx filters/peak detectors are enabled. In this
manner, the device can compensate for variable
round trip delays and line attenuation using a
threshold voltage set to a fixed percentage of the
pulse peak amplitude.
Another operation can be implemented using the
SNIC in the star configuration as shown in Figure 14.
This mode allows multiple NTs, with physically
independent S-Busses, to share a common input
source and transfer information down the S-Bus to
