TSBKBACKPL Backplane Designer's Kit Board

The TSBKBACKPL Designer's Kit is composed of three TSB12C01A link layer controllers connected to the TSB11C01, TSB21LV03, and TSB14C01A physical layer devices. The TSB12C01As are connected to a common 32-bit central bus. The TSB11C01 and TSB21LV03A connect directly to the cable environment at 100Mbps and 200Mbps respectively. In this application, the TSB14C01A connects to an FB1650 transceiver, which connects to a BTL (Futurebus+) backplane bus. The controlling processor is TI's TMS320C52, 16-bit fixed point DSP. The DSP handles a one-port RS-232 asynchronous interface.

Software:

The software runs a text based menu for executing simple packet transfers for testing purposes. It interfaces to one TSB12C01A link layer controller at a time and allows switching among them. It requires a 38.4 KBaud terminal and a custom 6 wire RS-232 cable. TI provides source code that gives examples of how to use the DMA to read and write to the TSB12C01A link layer chip and execute transfers between the TSB12C01A and the local SRAM.
