Overview:	The HEGD8 is master and slave pair of Granddaughter modules for data communications using 50R co-axial cable between Hunt Engineering modules. It is used in conjunction with a base module that accepts Granddaughter modules. Two clusters of processing modules can be connected, providing communications between I/O and processing modules. Medium distance communication over a single cable is provided. Distant clusters of processors can be remotely booted using the UDP reset. There is no onboard processor. Transfer of the onboard data in AMD TAXI format, is controlled by two FPGAs. The Master HEGD8 modulates a 40Mhz carrier with its TAXI data, while the Slave transmits at baseband. Power splitters and active filters provide recovery of the correct data channel at the receivers, allowing true duplex use of the cable at 10M baud. SMB connectors are provided for connection of the cable, which should be chosen to give losses of less than 15db over a bandwidth of 1 to 60Mhz. The HEGD8 operates in a single word mode, with no START or STOP control sequences. This provides a general purpose link for remote booting. Blocking and non-Blocking modes can be selected by jumper, choosing whether flow control is required for the particular application.
