The AT7910E provides a routing capability between eight SpaceWire links according to the SpaceWire Standard ECSS- E-50-12A. In addition for use as a node interface, the AT7910E integrates other interfaces such as: External ports Configuration port Time-code interface Control/Status interface...
The control and status registers in the SpaceWire router provide the means to control the operation of the router, set the router configuration and parameters or monitor the status of the device. The registers are accessed using RMAP command packets received by the configuration port. AT7910E [DATASHEET] 7796G AERO 02/13...
SpaceWire interface or a mixed configuration of the two previous ones. Stand-alone router The AT7910E SpaceWire Router may be used as a stand-alone router with up to eight SpaceWire links connected to it. Configuration of the routing tables etc. may be done by sending SpaceWire packets containing configuration commands to the router.
Figure 2-2. AT7910E as SpaceWire node interface Embedded router The SpaceWire Router device can also be used to provide a node with an embedded router. In this case the external ports are used to provide the local connections to the node and the SpaceWire ports are used to make connections to other ports in the network.
PLL Filter The AT7910E uses an internal PLL to provide the base transmit clock signal for the SpaceWire interfaces. External components are required to implement the PLL loop filter and to provide a bias for the PLL VCO. Note that RVCO, C and C0 are all connected to a quiet common ground track.
LVDS Interface The AT7910E provides 8 SpaceWire link based on LVDS IOs that should comply with the EIA-644 standard requirements. The basic LVDS interface consists in a single differential link interconnected between a transmiter and a receiver. Such a link requires a termination resistor on the receiver side to allow high frequency transfer usage. The nominal resistor value for the termination resistor 100 ohms.
AT7910E Compatibility with LVDS receiver Standards The LVDS driver produces a differential voltage across a 100-Ω load in the range of 247mV to 550mV with a typical offset voltage of 1.2V relative to ground. The recommended voltage applied to the LVDS receiver is between ground and 2.4 V with a common mode range of 0.05V to 2.35V.
