CSCI 4717/5717 Computer Architecture Buses – Common CSCI 4717/5717 Buses – Common Characteristics Computer Architecture • Multiple devices communicating over a single set of wires • Only one device can talk at a time or the message is garbled Topic: Buses • Each line or wire of a bus can at any one time contain a single binary digit.

  • PCI20EX PCI Express (Pcie)
    PCI20EX PCI Express (PCIe) Bus ARCNET® Network Interface Modules INSTALLATION GUIDE INTRODUCTION The PCI20EX series of ARCNET network interface modules (NIMs) links PCI Express (PCIe) bus compatible computers with the ARCNET local area network (LAN). Since most PC motherboards have migrated from the legacy PCI and PCI-X Bus, a PCI Express style NIM is required. The PCI20EX series is compliant to the PCI Express Card Electromechanical Specification Revision 2.0 and both standard height and low-profile brackets are provided. The PCI Express interface allows for jumperless configuration and Plug and Play operation. The module operates with either an NDIS driver or a null stack driver in a Windows® environment. The PCI20EX incorporates the COM20022 ARCNET controller chip with enhanced features over the earlier generation ARCNET chips. New features include command chaining, sequential access to internal RAM, duplicate node ID detection and variable data rates up to 10 Mbps. Bus contention problems are minimized since the module’s interrupt and I/O base address are assigned through Plug and Play. The PCI20EX exploits the new features of the COM20022 which includes 10 Mbps communications utilizing the various EIA-485 transceiver options. Each PCI20EX module has two LEDs on the board for monitoring network operation and bus access to the module. It is equipped with an 8 position, general purpose DIP switch typically used to assign the ARCNET node address. Ultimately, the node address is configured via software so the DIP switch can also indicate user-defined functions such as data rate, cable interface, or master/slave status of the system.

The recent revolutionary progress in the semiconductor and computer technologies is giving us an oppotunity to extend our idea on the experiments. The high density electronics of LSI technology provides an ideal front-end electronics such as readout circuits for silicon strip detector and multi-anode phototubes as well as wire chambers. The VLSI technology has advantages over the obsolite discrete one in the various aspects ; reduction of noise, small propagation delay, lower power dissipation, small space for the installation, improvement of the system reliability and maintenability. The small sized front-end electronics will be mounted just on the detector and the digital data might be transfered off the detector to the computer room with optical fiber data transmission lines. Then, a monster of bandies of signal cables might disappear from the experimental area.

  • Wishbone Bus Architecture – a Survey and Comparison
    International Journal of VLSI design & Communication Systems (VLSICS) Vol.3, No.2, April 2012 WISHBONE BUS ARCHITECTURE – A SURVEY AND COMPARISON Mohandeep Sharma 1 and Dilip Kumar 2 1Department of VLSI Design, Center for Development of Advanced Computing, Mohali, India [email protected] 2ACS - Division, Center for Development of Advanced Computing, Mohali, India [email protected] ABSTRACT The performance of an on-chip interconnection architecture used for communication between IP cores depends on the efficiency of its bus architecture. Any bus architecture having advantages of faster bus clock speed, extra data transfer cycle, improved bus width and throughput is highly desirable for a low cost, reduced time-to-market and efficient System-on-Chip (SoC). This paper presents a survey of WISHBONE bus architecture and its comparison with three other on-chip bus architectures viz. Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) by ARM, CoreConnect by IBM and Avalon by Altera. The WISHBONE Bus Architecture by Silicore Corporation appears to be gaining an upper edge over the other three bus architecture types because of its special performance parameters like the use of flexible arbitration scheme and additional data transfer cycle (Read-Modify-Write cycle). Moreover, its IP Cores are available free for use requiring neither any registration nor any agreement or license. KEYWORDS SoC buses, WISHBONE Bus, WISHBONE Interface 1. INTRODUCTION The introduction and advancement of multimillion-gate chips technology with new levels of integration in the form of the system-on-chip (SoC) design has brought a revolution in the modern electronics industry. With the evolution of shrinking process technologies and increasing design sizes [1], manufacturers are integrating increasing numbers of components on a chip.

There are also utilities in a bus system, such as Vcc and ground lines. • To drive a bus, a bus driver is needed. To receive data from the bus, a bus receiver is needed. The bus driver and bus receiver can be combined to form a bus transceiver. Microcomputer Systems & Lab Microcomputer bus 4 Connecting to a bus • A bus should be driven by no more than one device at any time. Otherwise, bus contention will occur. When bus contention occurs, the devices that are involved in bus contention could be damaged. • A device is disconnected from the bus when the driver-enable and receiver-enable signals are deasserted. When the enable signal is deasserted, the output of the driver or the receiver is in a high-impedance state in which no current flow into or out the device involved.

  • Teros 21 Gen 1 Integrator Guide
    18204-06 6.30.2020 TEROS 21 GEN 1 INTEGRATOR GUIDE SENSOR DESCRIPTION The TEROS 21 Soil Water Potential Sensor measures a wide range of soil water potentials without user maintenance. This dielectric water potential sensor can be packed into a hole, plugged into a data logger, and left to log water potential data. While the TEROS 21 sensor does not have the accuracy of tensiometers, its extended range makes this sensor ideal for measuring the water potential in natural systems or other drier systems where cavitation of tensiometers is a concern. The added temperature measurements can be used to determine approximate soil water potential in frozen soils. NOTE: The TEROS 21 measures the matric component of water potential. For more information on matric potential and the other components of water potential visit Defining water potential. APPLICATIONS • Deficit irrigation monitoring and control • Water potential monitoring in the vadose zone • Crop stress • Waste water drainage studies • Plant water availability • SDI-12 implementation ADVANTAGES • Three-wire sensor interface: power, ground, and data • Digital sensor communicates multiple measurements over a serial interface • Robust thermistor for accurate temperature measurements • Low-input voltage requirements • Low-power design supports battery-operated data loggers • Robust epoxy encapsulation resists corrosive environments • Supports SDI-12 or DDI serial communications protocols • Modern design optimized for low-cost sensing • Does not require a skilled operator • Can measure drier systems where tensiometer cavitation is a concern • Needs no user maintenance Figure 1 TEROS 21 sensor PURPOSE OF THIS GUIDE METER provides the information in this integrator guide to help TEROS 21 Soil Water Potential Sensor customers establish communication between these sensors and their data acquisition equipment or field data loggers.

For example, a write message contains an address, control signals and the write data. • Transaction: A transaction consists of a sequence of messages which together form a transaction. For example, a memory read X It can broadcast a transaction – sending to multiple components simultaneously requires a memory read message and a reply with the requested data.
