The DMA on this board is intended for reading and writing the FIFOs. After the DMA is initialized and started, the host CPU will be free to proceed with other duties and need to respond only to interrupts. The DMA controller is capable of transferring data to host memory using D32 transfers; whereas the FIFO memory provides a means for continuous transmission of data without interrupting the DMA or requiring intervention from the host CPU. The board also provides for DMA chaining, interrupt generation for various states of the board, including End-Of-Transfer, TX FIFO Almost Empty, RX FIFO Almost Full, and more. The Transmitter and Receiver are in FPGAs that provide a configurable interface that is highly flexible in data width and transfer protocol.

The PCI-DMA engine is designed to require minimal intervention from the host; it provides for high-speed transfers between the FIFO and PCI memory using DMA instructions stored in RAM. Data is transferred from the cable to the FIFO using a high-speed dedicated I/O controller.

DMA Start Latency (when started by cable input or by CPU) Initialization and DMA start: less than 1 microsecond typ. FIFO Memory The FIFOs on the PMC-HPDI32A are used for buffering the transmit or receive data. There is a total of eight FIFOs on the board; 1 set of 4 for transmit, and 1 set of 4 for receive. Each set consists of 32 bits of data and 4 status flags. The receive FIFOs are loaded by the cable receive control logic and read by either the CPU or the DMA. The transmit FIFOs are loaded by either the CPU or the DMA and read by the cable transmit control logic. The 4 status flags that accompany the FIFOs are all active low (‘0’ being TRUE) and are as follows: Empty, Almost Empty, Almost Full, Full. The Almost Empty and the Almost Full status flags can be programmed by the software to become true at most desired levels. Cable Interface Transceivers RS-422/485 levels (contact factory for availability of TTL levels) RS-422/485 transceivers provide +- 7.5 Volts of noise immunity and can withstand +- 25 Volt transients without damage. Optional on-board parallel termination. The parallel terminators provide the usual transmission line termination. In either case unused inputs can be left open; however, the logic level of unconnected inputs is indeterminate. Pseudo ECL levels (option) is realized using Lucent BTK1A16NB differential pseudo ECL to/from TTL transceivers. The transceiver has a high output driver for up to 50 ohm loads. The driver outputs are terminated internally at 220 ohms and the inputs are terminated at 110 ohms eliminating the need for external resistors.
