Product Description
The PMC-BiSerial-III RL1 is a part of the PMC Module family of modular I/O products by
Dynamic Engineering. It meets the PMC and CMC draft Standards. In standard
configuration, the PMC-BiSerial-III RL1 is a Type 1 mechanical with only low profile
passive components on the back of the board, one slot wide, with 10 mm inter-board
height. Contact Dynamic Engineering for a copy of this specification. It is assumed that
the reader is at least casually familiar with this document and basic logic design.
FIGURE 1
PMC-BISERIAL-III BLOCK DIAGRAM
The PMC-BiSerial-III is capable of providing multiple serial protocols using either LVDS
or RS-485 I/O standards. The PMC-BiSerial-III standard configuration shown in Figure
1 has two optional data FIFOs that can be as large as 128k x 32-bits to accommodate
designs requiring a large amount of buffering. In most designs these FIFOs are not
installed and internal FIFOs implemented with the block RAM in the Xilinx FPGA are
used instead.
