Features
• SpaceWire Router compliant
with ECSS-E-ST-50-12C
• Non-blocking switch-matrix
connecting any input to any output
• Packet Distribution
• Group Adaptive Routing
• Path, Logical and Regional Logical addressing
• Two priority levels for output port arbitration
• Configuration port using RMAP, compliant with
ECSS-E-ST-50-52C
• 8x SpaceWire ports, full duplex, on-chip or off-
chip LVDS transceivers
• 2x external FIFO ports, 9-bit wide data paths
• Possible to cascade two routers without glue
logic via the FIFO ports

Description
The Radiation-Tolerant SpaceWire
Router family is available as standard
components using the Actel RTAX and
RT ProASIC3 FPGAs. The fault
tolerant design of the router in
combination with the radiation tolerant
FPGA makes it ideally suited for space
and other high-rel applications.

Applications
The router implements a routing switch
as defined in the ECSS-E-ST-50-12C
SpaceWire links, nodes, routers and
networks standard, supporting all
mandatory and optional features.
The router implements up to ten external
routing ports and the mandatory
configuration port.
The configuration port provides access
to configuration and status registers, and
the routing table using the Remote
Memory Access Protocol (RMAP) as
defined in the ECSS-E-ST-50-52C
protocol standard.
The router also fully supports the
ECSS-E-ST-50-51C SpaceWire
protocol identification standard.
An optional PCI Initiator/Target
interface is available.
