4 | This is a simple hardware project that aims to generate a reusable module |
||
5 | for interfacing E1/T1/J1 lines from various custom FPGA/CPLD/microcontroller |
||
6 | projects. |
||
7 | |||
8 | The board contains tranformers, the analog circuitry, the LIU (line interface |
||
9 | unit), an oscillator as well as an integrated transceiver chip. |
||
10 | |||
11 | It exposes the control interface (SPI) as well as the decoded synchronous |
||
12 | Rx/Tx bitstreams each on a 2x5pin header. |
||
13 | |||
14 | Framer, Multiplexe,r HDLC decoder or anything like that is out-of-scope for |
||
15 | now. The idea relaly is to provide an interface as low-level as possible. |
||
16 | |||
17 | One of the ideas is to create a "soft E1" interface, where the Rx/Tx bitstreams |
||
18 | are interfaced with the SSC of an AT91SAM3S and subsequently passed into a PC |
||
19 | via USB. The 2Mbps signal is very low-bandwidth, so that a pure software |
||
20 | implementation should be absolutely no problem for todays computing power. |
||
21 | |||
22 | == Status == |
||
23 | |||
24 | The project is in design phase. Initial design has finished, but needs to be |
||
25 | 5 | laforge | reviewed. First prototype PCBs are evaluated since January 12, 2012 |

35 | === JP2: TDM interface === |
||
36 | |||
37 | JP2 contains the serial TDM bitstream + clock for Rx and Tx direction. The signals are |

46 | ||8||RD/RDP||Receive Data / Receive Data Positive|| |

||
49 | |||
50 | === JP1: SPI control === |
||
51 | |||
52 | This is how the external microcontroller can control the transceiver chip. |

66 | === JP9 === |
||
67 | |||
68 | JP10 switches the master clock (MCLK) of the transceiver between two on-board oscillators |
||
69 | of 2.048 MHz and 1.544 MHz. This is required for selecting between E1 or T1/J1 mode. |
||
70 | |||
71 | ||1-2||2.048 MHz (E1) mode|| |
||
72 | ||2-3||1.544 MHz (T1/J1) mode|| |
||
73 | |||
74 | === JP10 === |
||
75 | |||
76 | This jumper decides if the 2.048/1.544 MHz MCLK should also be used as TDM Transmit Clock. |
||
77 | |||

89 | == TODO list == |
||
90 | * hardware |
||
91 | * make ridiculously large test pads smaller |
||
92 | * move C1 closer to U1 VDDIO pad (19) |
||
93 | * remove $ sign from component names |
||
94 | * define which value C5 should use |
||
95 | * mark pin 1 of J1 / J2 on copper + silk screen |
||
96 | * different footprint for L1 ? value ? |
||
97 | * JP10 is a big too close to J1 |
||
98 | * software |
||
99 | * implement minimal SPI driver to initialize transceiver chip |
