2 Functionality
The SIS3153 interfaces the popular Universal Serial Bus (USB) and Ethernet to the VMEbus.
It uses the Cypress Semiconductor Corporation FX3 chip as USB3.0 host controller. The
modules functionality comprises:
Ethernet (UDP) connectivity (Described in ‘SIS3153 - Ethernet Addendum’)
USB3.0 / Superspeed USB functionality
USB2.0 and USB1.1 compliance
VME master read cycles:
-
IACK, A16/A24/A32
-
D8/D16/D32/BLT32/MBLT64/2eVME/2eSST160/2eSST267/2eSST320
VME master write cycles:
-
A16/A24/A32
-
D8/D16/D32/BLT32/MBLT64/2eVME
VME slave; not implemented yet
2 digital front panel inputs (NIM or TTL level, select by jumper or register bits)
2 digital front panel outputs (NIM or TTL level , select by jumper or register bits)
Possible future firmware extensions comprise
Optical connectivity
Note:
A Gigabit 1000BASE-T copper SFP transceiver (Finisar FCLF-8520-3 or compatible,
Struck part number 04333) is required for Ethernet operation. The transceiver is included with
the SIS3153 if the card is ordered for Ethernet to VME Interface operation (Struck part
number 05867).
