I0 New digital buses

This 1-day seminar aims to describe and compare new digital interconnect standards

formateur
Objectives
  • Packet switching benefits compared to shared busses are highlighted.
  • The course details the operation of new busses and the consequences on system architecture.
  • This workshop has been designed for project managers who intend to understand the operation of new buses without fully describing their protocol.
  • Many references to exerciser providers and component manufacturers are done in order to explain not only the features of new buses but also their ecosystem.
  • Ac6-training offers trainings covering in depth buses such as PCI-X, PCI-Express, RapidIO, IEEE1394a/b, USB2.0, HyperTransport, VME VXS.
A more detailed course description is available on request at training@ac6-training.com
Prerequisites
  • Experience of a digital bus like PCI or VME is recommanded.

TRANSITIONNING FROM SHARED BUSES TO POINT-TO-POINT BUSES
  • Limitations of the PCI
  • Parallel vs serial transfers
  • Differential mode
  • Packet switching
  • Convergence to a common physical layer
ENHANCEMENTS OF EXISTING BUSES
