Methods and systems are provided for providing hot swapability of TSIs in
a TDM system using FPGA hot swap logic. The hot swap logic is used to
provide isolation for the TSIs from a system TDM bus in the TDM system.
Moreover, the hot swap logic is capable of improving the performance of
the TDM system. For example, the hot swap logic is capable of
compensating for clock distortion associated with the distribution of a
common clock signal to various TSIs in the TDM system. Additionally, for
example, the hot swap logic is capable of compensating for the
limitations imposed in conventional TDM systems due to the relatively
high clock-to-out times of conventional TSIs.
