Functional Description

 

Refer to the block diagram in 

Figure 5

 while reading the description. 

There are 2 inputs for the module. One of these inputs is a loop-through 
input. The data paths are otherwise conceptually identical for both inputs. 
The inputs are 

fi

rst received by the receive circuit. Next, the Field Program-

mable Gate Array (FPGA) sends the data to the FIFO, which returns the 
data to the FPGA. Finally, the data is passed to the transmit circuit.

Receive Circuit

 

This circuit features a digital audio transformer conforming to EBU stan-
dards. 

The AES/EBU receiver recovers audio data and low jitter clocks from the 
digital audio input transmission line. The data is reclocked, and then sent 
to the FPGA. A special mode allows the preamble and bi-phase mark data 
to pass through in its entirety. The 6.144 MHz clock signal is also sent to the 
FPGA.

 

FPGA

 

The FPGA is a 

fi

eld programmable gate array containing proprietary Grass 

Valley control circuitry. The FPGA converts the serial AES/EBU stream to 
12-bit parallel data. The width of the data corresponds to the width of the
