Abstract:
A multichannel facility datalink processor, comprising:input circuitry operable to receive a first plurality of facility datalink signals;output circuitry operable to transmit a second plurality of facility datalink signals;a state machine operable to be loaded with a predetermined state, the state machine further operable to process ones of the first plurality of facility datalink signals and ones of the second plurality of facility datalink signals; andstorage circuitry coupled to the state machine, the storage circuitry operable to store state information and facility datalink data for each of the first plurality of facility datalink signals and each of the second plurality of facility datalink signals, wherein the state machine is further operable to generate an interrupt signal when four out of five valid detections of the same BOM message on one of the first plurality of facility datalink signals has occurred.
