T7906E
Description
The T7906E provides one IEEE-1355 serial communication link with 0 to 200 Mbit/s
data transmit rate. It supports both the standard IEEE-1355 link protocol (transparent
mode) as well as the header generation required for the enhanced transaction layer of
the TSS901E. This protocol uses specific protocol headers that can be generated by
the T7906E without requiring an external host controller. These headers are stored in
specific header registers which allows headers with a length of 0 (equaling the trans-
parent mode) to eight bytes per packet. Packetization of data sent by the T7906E over
the link is also done automatically according to the settings of a packet length register.
Another feature provided by the transaction layer supported by the T7906E is an auto-
matic checksum generation on the link. This is generated and checked automatically
by the T7906E without requiring support from a host or other external source. Errors
on the link are flagged and a special error packet is sent over the link to signal the
error condition.
Programming the T7906E internal registers is done via the IEEE-1355 link. All internal
registers are 8-bit wide addressable. Two simple commands (read and write) suffice
to access all functions and registers of the T7906E.
