General Block Diagram of the MLI Module
The MLI transmitter and MLI receiver communicate with other off-chip MLI receivers and
MLI transmitters via a four-line serial I/O bus each. Several I/O lines of these I/O buses
are available outside the MLI module kernel as four-line output or input buses with index
numbering A, B, C and D. The transmitter signals are named with the prefix “T” and the
receiver signals are named with the prefix “R”.
Data read and write operations from/to remote window areas can be handled by a Move
Engine that is able to operate as a bus master. Clock control, address decoding, and
interrupt service request control are managed outside the MLI module kernel. Eight
service request outputs can be used to trigger an interrupt or a DMA request.
