1.7 RACEway Interface
The Model 6526’s RACEway interface is implemented using the Cypress PitCREWjr chip
set. The RACEway interface circuitry creates separate RACEway packets for each DDR
on the board and sends them to the desired destination processors. Each DDR’s output
can be sent to one or more independent processors on another VME board in the same
VME chassis via RACEway Interlink Modules. For more information about RACEway
Interlinks, see Appendix B, and refer to the Pentek RACEway Handbook, Pentek part
number 800.00003.
The Model 6526 is directly compatible with all of Pentek’s RACEway−compatible DSP
processors, including the Models 4290 and 4291 (equipped with a Model 6219 or 6220
RACEway Interface VIM module) and the Model 4285 (equipped with the Option 034
RACEway interface). The Model 6526 supports local RACEway packet steering to any
of the processors on these boards, as determined by the RACEway address.
1.8 Digital Interfaces
Model 6526 Option 002 accepts two 16−bit differential ECL−level input signals, at a
maximum data rate of 62.5 MSPS. This input option is compatible with Pentek A/D
Converter Models 6402 Option 002, 6410 Option 002, 6425 Option 001, 6441 Option 002,
6465, 6470, and 6472. Model 6526 Option 019 accepts single−ended TTL−level signals,
at a maximum rate of 50 MSPS. This input option is compatible with the standard ver−
sions of Pentek A/D Converter Models 6402, 6410, 6420, 6425, and 6441.
Another input data source for the Model 6526 is the Watkins−Johnson WJ−9107 Wide−
band Telecom Tuner. The WJ−9107 output is a 36−pin connector delivering differential
ECL output levels. Two WJ−9107's may be located in an external VXI chassis, each
supplying one digitized data signal to the two data inputs on one Model 6526. A spe−
cial cable, available separately from Pentek as Model 2126, provides direct connection
for the two input data signals from two WJ−9107's to the Model 6526.
1.9 VMEbus Interface
The Model 6526 is a single−slot, VME stand−alone board that meets VME C.1 specifi−
cations. It provides slave A32/D32 access, A24/D16 access, and A16/D16 access. It
does not allow D8 access. It is a VMEbus interrupter but it is not a VMEbus interrupt
handler. It passes the Bus Grant and IACK daisy chain signals.
The VMEbus Slave Interface allows read/write control of registers and access to a dual
port SRAM used for passing parameters to the DDRs. These resources are memory
mapped into a unique A24/A32 VME address space. A second address space, identical
to the first, provides write−only access to all the same functions. The base address of
each of these two spaces is programmable in A16 address space. This allows multiple
boards to share the same write−only space for broadcast commands sent to several
boards using a single VMEbus cycle. Commands for individual boards can always be
sent through the unique read/write space.
