IP-BiSerial-IO
IndustryPack Compatible Bi-Directional Serial Data Interface




Click here for IP-Xilinx

The serial Input and Output channels are highly programmable and fully independent. The standard interface offers Data, Clock and Strobe. The programmable output rates and a user oscillator position allow for flexible frequency selection. The adaptable interface allows for bursted or continuous operation, and all kinds of data / handshake protocols. For example - Manchester encoding, full and half duplex operation, synchronous and asynchronous data transfer. RS422/485 and TTL compatability will interface to a variety of systems.

If your situation demands a custom application then we will update the Xilinx FPGA. Now with more than 17 versions. Our customers have the IP-Biserial in use for a wide variety of applications including: Simulation of expensive system components for test and control, robotics, telemetry, data capture and transfer, communications, translation between incompatible equipment types, signal generation, and control. What will you use the BiSerial for? Send us your timing and we will send you the interface.... email us your wish list or call today!

The evidence is in: the IP-BiSerial can handle most customer requirements. If your requirements are the exception please look at the IP-OctalSerial. The Octal version of the BiSerial has more FIFO [x4] more IO [24 vs 9] and more gates [Spartan II vs Spartan]. The IP-BiSerial is a cost effective solution for most situations, and the IP-OctalSerial is the solution for the more challenging designs or space constrained situations.

    		•  The BiSerial is easy to use. All registers are read-write and word aligned. There is a lot of felxibility with interrupt and polled mode operations. Please download the manual and see for yourself. The engineering kit provides a good starting point for a new user. The reference software does a loop-back test and set-ups the different modes of operation.

  • Availability
    		•  The IP-BiSerial is a popular board. We keep the IP-BiSerial in stock. Send in your order and in most cases have your hardware the next day - delivered to you via FedEx. Custom state machines require a short NRE delay in delivery. We can delivery a stock version and then update the PROMs later to let you get familiar with the hardware in parallel.

  • Size
    		•  The IP-BiSerial in standard configuration is a Type 1 size IP module which conforms to the IndustryPack mechanical and electrical specifications. No Components on the rear means no mechanical interference issues. The IP-BiSerial can be used in all IP slots.
