SPI-4.2-Universal SmartBridge Reference Design
This design contains intellectual property for sale from Modelware.
Overview
Modelware’s SPI-4.2-Universal SmartBridge provides bi-directional interface and protocol translation between an SPI-4.2 interface and up to four 2.5 Gbps or lower-speed ATM or packet interfaces. Each Universal interface is implemented as a size-efficient single logic block that can be programmed independently to operate as SPI-3, PL2, UTOPIA 3, UTOPIA 2, and their variations. The Universal SmartBridge provides valuable flexibility for designers interfacing network processors to one or more 2.5 Gbps or lower-speed interfaces. In addition, the Universal interface can be software-programmed to run in any mode, which enables system designers to implement multi-protocol functionality on a single interface. The Universal SmartBridge can be implemented in Altera's Stratix® or Stratix II families. Figure 1 shows a typical application.
Features
- Bi-directional SmartBridge between SPI-4.2 and up to four Universal interfaces
- Each Universal interface is independently configurable as an ATM or packet interface, including SPI-3, PL2, UTOPIA 3, and UTOPIA 2
- 16 channels with independent buffering
- Independent and decoupled per-channel flow control on each interface
- Modular architecture that allows easy addition of application-specific packet processing
- 12.8 Gb/s throughput in each direction.
