3.2
DVI Transmitter
The SB-A510 is equipped with a DVI Transmitter that is based on the TFP410/SIL164 IC. DVI
output signals are routed to the onboard HDMI Connector (J4). The DVI Transmitter is connected to
the 24bit RGB interface of the CM-A510.
TFP410/SIL164 is fully DVI 1.0 compliant. The DVI Transmitter on the SB-A510 is configured for
rising edge data sampling, single ended pixel clock and standard 3.3V CMOS input signal levels. The
transmitter can be shut down by software (GPIO03 on I2C GPIO extender IC) and can also inform
the system (through GPIO02 on I2C GPIO extender IC) whether a monitor is connected to the
transmitter output.
In order to use the DVI interface, the CM-A510 display system has to be configured properly for
RGB888 operation mode.
3.3
LVDS Transmitter
The SB-A510 is equipped with an LVDS Transmitter that is based on the DS90C365A IC. LVDS
output signals are routed to a 100mil header (P20). The LVDS Transmitter is connected to the display
interface of the CM-A510.
The DS90C365A is a National Semicon3.3V Programmable 18-bit Flat Panel Display link-
87.5MHz LVDS Transmitter. The transmitter is fully compatible with the TIA/EIA-644 LVDS
standard and supports VGA, SVGA and XGA display modes.
The LVDS Transmitter is configured for rising edge data sampling. GPIO04 on the I2C GPIO
extender, can be used to put the transmitter into shutdown mode.
In order to use the LVDS interface, the CM-A510 display system has to be configured properly for
RGB888 operation mode.
3.4
PCI-E to PCI Bridge
SB-A510 PCI interface is implemented with a Pericom PI7C9X111 IC connected to the CM-A510
PCI-E link. The interface supports the following features:
Compliant with PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 3.0
Compliant with PCI-to-PCI Bridge Architecture Specification, Revision 1.2
Compliant with PCI Bus PM Interface Specification, Revision 1.1
Transparent mode support
Compliant with Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Specification (ACPI), Revision
2.0b
NOTE: In order to use the PCI interface, PI7C9X111 and PCI-E link must be set to the correct
operating mode with jumpers E2, E3, and E4. Please refer to chapter
4.22
for
additional details.
