Strategic Insights -

Trillium Digital Systems Inc., a leading provider of communications software solutions, has announced the release of its driver software for Motorola's MPC860 PowerQUICC, a popular communication controller used in various embedded applications. This release aims to expedite development cycles for computer and communications equipment manufacturers who use Motorola's MPC860. The driver software supports High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) and Signalling System 7 (SS7) physical layer protocols, allowing customers to configure baud rates, frame sizes, and other functionality.

Key Takeaways:

  • Trillium's MPC860 driver software enables computer and communications equipment manufacturers to expedite their development cycles by directly supporting the MPC860's Time Slot Assignment (TSA) logic.
  • The driver software supports High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) and Signalling System 7 (SS7) physical layer protocols, allowing customers to configure baud rates, frame sizes, and other functionality.
  • Each protocol can be configured independently and operates simultaneously on separate links.
  • Trillium's SS7 driver for the MPC860 utilizes Motorola's SS7 microcode, eliminating the need for a separate license from Motorola.
  • The driver software supports T1 and E1 time slots on a configurable basis, reducing board design complexity by eliminating the need for additional circuitry to extract time slots.

Statistics:

  • Over 200 companies have licensed Trillium's source code software worldwide for use in various products.
  • Trillium has developed standards-based communications software solutions for various technologies, including Signalling System 7 (SS7), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDN), Frame Relay, V5, Internet Protocol (IP), and X.25/X.75.
