Simple PCI to S-LINK interface
FEMB-D-33-x-5.0-65
(Circuit no. 680-1110-400)
DESCRIPTION
The Simple PCI to S-LINK interface (SPCIS) is a short PCI Card that is
needed to interface S-LINK Link Source Cards (LSCs) in a PCI environment.
The interface itself is fully compliant to the PCI as well as the S-LINK
specification. When the S-LINK LSC is plugged onto the SPCIS, the construction
will still use only one PCI slot.
The interface was made with simplicity of design in mind. This has consequences
for the ease of programming and the maximum transfer rate that the interface
can handle. The maximum transfer rate is around 65 MByte/sec with 32-bit
S-LINK interfaces.
The Simple PCI to S-LINK interface has Front End Motherboard (FEMB)
functionality, is a duplex implementation, with a 33 MHz UCLK frequency,
having 5 Volt signal levels and a maximum transfer rate of 65 MByte/sec.
In S-LINK terms this is coded as a FEMB-D-33-x-5.0-65.
Furthermore the interface features:
-
Programmable UDW[1..0], URESET# and UTEST# lines
-
Readable LRL[3..0] and LDOWN# lines
-
Interrupt on change of status of LRL[3..0] or LDOWN#
As far as the PCI interface goes it features:
-
33 MHz PCI clock
-
32 bit databus
-
Integrated DMA
-
Bus target and initiator functionality
