1.0 Overview
The UT200SpW4RTR 4-Port SpaceWire router contains an anomaly that prevents the
device from complying with the Low Voltage Differential Signaling, LVDS, levels called
out in ECSS-E-ST-50-12C Section 6.1. The SpaceWire Standard calls for a LVDS
physical layer as defined in ANSI/TIA/EIA-644, Electrical Characteristics of Low
Voltage Differential Signaling Interface Circuits. Revision A of the Aeroflex router does
not comply with the levels called out for Differential Output Voltage (VOD or VT) and
Offset Voltage (VOS) sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 in ANSI/TIA/EIA-644. Additionally the
UT200SpW4RTR does not show in family characteristics for High-Level Output Voltage
(VOH) when compared to other Aeroflex LVDS and SpaceWire products.
Table 2 below shows the Differential Output Voltage, Offset Voltage, and High-Level
Output Voltage comparison between Revision A and the targeted Revision B limits for
the UT200SpW4RTR.
