2. USER APPLICATIONS
The SpW-10X SpaceWire router device may be used in several different ways as described in the
following sub-sections.
Note: SpW-10X is pronounced “SpaceWire Ten X”. This name derives from the abbreviation for
SpaceWire (SpW), the fact that the router has eight SpaceWire ports and two external ports giving ten
ports in total, and the used of “X” to represent a cross-bar switch.
2.1 STAND-ALONE ROUTER
The SpaceWire Router may be used as a stand-alone router with up to eight SpaceWire links
connected to it. Configuration of the routing tables etc. may be done by sending SpaceWire packets
containing configuration commands to the router.

Figure 2-1 Stand-Alone Router
In Figure 2-1 an example of use of the SpW-10X device as a stand-alone router is illustrated. There
are four instruments connected to the SpW-10X device along with a memory unit and processor. The
processor can communicate with all the instruments and memory unit to control them and is also able
to configure the SpW-10X device. The instruments can send data to the memory unit for storage or to
the processor for immediate processing. The processor can also read data from the memory for later
processing, writing the processed data back into memory. A pair of SpW-10X devices can be used to
provide a redundant configuration.

2.2 NODE INTERFACE
The SpaceWire Router has two external ports which enable the device to be used as a node interface.
The equipment to be connected to the SpaceWire network is attached to one or both external ports.
One or more SpaceWire ports are used to provide the connection into the SpaceWire network.
Unused SpaceWire ports may be disabled and their outputs deactivated to save power. In this
arrangement configuration of the routing tables and other parameters may be done by sending
configuration packets from the local host via an external port or from a remote network manager via a
SpaceWire port.

Figure 2-2 Node Interface
In Figure 2-2 a SpW-10X router is used as an interface to a user FPGA or processor, which may be
part of a SpaceWire enabled instrument, control processor or other sub-system. The interface to the
user FPGA or processor is via the external FIFO ports of the SpW-10X router. Only three SpaceWire
links are needed for this SpaceWire node so the other five links are disabled to save power.
2.3 EMBEDDED ROUTER
The SpaceWire Router device can also be used to provide a node with an embedded router. In this
case the external ports are used to provide the local connections to the node and the SpaceWire ports
are used to make connections to other ports in the network. The difference between this configuration
and that of section 2.2 is just a conceptual one with the Node interface configuration normally using
fewer SpaceWire ports than the Embedded Router configuration.

Figure 2-3 Embedded Router
In Figure 2-3 a SpaceWire system similar to that shown in Figure 2-1 is shown with the SpW-10X
router embedded in a SpaceWire node along with a processor. The processor interfaces can interface
to the SpW-10X router using the external FIFO ports saving some SpaceWire ports for connecting to
additional instruments. For redundancy a pair of the SpaceWire nodes with embedded routers may be
used.
2.4 EXPANDING THE NUMBER OF ROUTER PORTS
If a routing switch with a larger number of SpaceWire (or external) ports is required then this can be
accomplished by joining together two or more routers using some of the SpaceWire links. For example
using two SpaceWire links to join together two router devices would create an effective router with
twelve SpaceWire ports and four external ports. Note, however, that an extra path addressing byte is
needed to route packets between the two routers and that there is additional routing delay.

Figure 2-4 shows a pair of SpW-10X routers connected together using the external FIFO ports to
provide a 16 port router. A small amount of external logic is required to connect the external FIFO
ports in this way. Note that the bandwidth between the two SpW-10X devices is limited by the two
external FIFO ports used to interconnect them. Each FIFO port can handle one SpaceWire packet at a
time in each direction.

3. FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
A SpaceWire routing switch comprises a number of SpaceWire ports and a routing matrix. The routing
matrix enables packets arriving at one SpaceWire port to be transferred to and sent out of another port
on the routing switch. A SpaceWire routing switch is thus able to connect together many SpaceWire
nodes, providing a means of routing packets between the nodes connected to it.
The SpW-10X SpaceWire router comprises the following functional logic blocks:

Eight SpaceWire bi-directional serial ports.

Two external parallel input/output ports each comprising an input FIFO and an output FIFO.

A crossbar switch connecting any input port to any output port.

An internal configuration port accessible via the crossbar switch from the external parallel
input/output port or the SpaceWire input/output ports.

A routing table accessible via the configuration port which holds the logical address to output
port mapping.

Control logic to control the operation of the switch, performing arbitration and group adaptive
routing.

Control registers than can be written and read by the configuration port and which hold control
information e.g. link operating speed.

An external time-code interface comprising tick_in, tick_out and current tick count value.

Internal status/error registers accessible via the configuration port.

Watchdog timers on all ports.

Internal status/error registers accessible via the configuration port using the RMAP protocol
[2].

External status/error signals.
A block diagram of the routing switch is given in Figure 3-1.

Figure 3-1 SpaceWire router block diagram
The following paragraphs define the SpaceWire router functional logic blocks in more detail.
3.1 SPACEWIRE PORTS
The SpaceWire router has eight bi-directional SpaceWire links each conformant with the SpaceWire
standard. Each SpaceWire link is controlled by an associated link register and routing control logic.
Network level error recovery is performed when an error is detected on the SpaceWire link as defined
in the SpaceWire standard. Packets received on SpaceWire links are routed by the routing control
logic to the configuration port, other SpaceWire link ports or the external FIFO ports. Packets with
invalid addresses are discarded by the SpaceWire router dependent on the packet address. The
SpaceWire link status is recorded in the associated link register and error status is held by the router
until cleared by a configuration command.
3.2 EXTERNAL PORTS
The SpaceWire router has two bi-directional parallel FIFO interfaces that can be used to connect the
router to an external host system. The external port FIFO is two data characters deep. Each FIFO is

written to or read from synchronously with the 30MHz system clock. An eight-bit data interface and an
extra control bit for end of packet markers are provided by each external port FIFO. Packets received
by the external port are routed by the routing control logic to the configuration port, SpaceWire link
ports or the other external port dependent on the packet address. Packets with invalid addresses are
discarded by the SpaceWire router.
3.3 CONFIGURATION PORT
The SpaceWire router has one configuration port which performs read and write operations to internal
router registers. Packets are routed to the configuration port when a packet with a leading address
byte of zero is received. The Remote Memory Access Protocol (RMAP) [AD2] to access the
configuration port. A detailed description of the RMAP command packet format is provided in section
7.6. If an invalid command packet is received then the error is flagged to an associated status register
and the packet is discarded. The internal router registers are described in section 9.
3.4 ROUTING TABLE
The SpaceWire router routing table is set by the router command packets to assign logical addresses
to physical destination ports on the router. A group of destination ports can be set, in each routing
table location, to enable group adaptive routing. In group adaptive routing a packet can be routed to
its destination through one of a set of output ports dependent on which ports in the set are free to use.
When a packet is received with a logical address the routing table is checked by the routing control
logic and the packet is routed to the destination port when the port is ready.
Routing table locations are set to invalid at power on or at reset. An invalid routing address will cause
the packet to be spilled by the control logic. The routing table logical addresses can also be set to
support high priority and header deletion. High priority packets are routed before low priority packets
and header deletion of logical addresses can be used to support regional logical addressing (see
AD1).
3.5 ROUTING CONTROL LOGIC AND CROSSBAR
The routing control logic is responsible for arbitration of output ports, group adaptive routing and the
crossbar switching. Arbitration is performed when two or more source ports are requesting to use the
same destination port. A priority based arbitration scheme with two priority levels, high and low, is
used where high priority packets are routed before low priority packets. Fair arbitration is performed
on packets which have the same priority levels to ensure each packet gets equal access to the output
port.
Group adaptive routing control selects one of a number of output ports for sending out the source
packet.

The crossbar switch connects an input port to an output port allowing data to flow from the input port
to the output port. Several input ports may be connected simultaneously to several output ports all
passing data. Two or more input ports may not be connected to a single output port. The crossbar
switch is a “non-blocking” type because the connection of one input port to an output port does not
prevent another input port being connected to another output port at the same time. It is possible for
all eight input ports to be each connected to an output port so that all input ports and output ports are
being used.
3.6 TIME-CODE PROCESSING
An internal time-code register is used in the router to allow the router to be a time-code master or a
time-code slave.
In master mode the time-code interface is used to provide a tick-in to the SpaceWire routing causing
time-codes to be propagated through the network. Two modes of time master operation are
supported, an automatic mode where a time-code is propagated on each external tick-in and a normal
mode where the time-code is propagated dependent on the external time-in signal.
In time-code slave mode a valid received time-code, one plus the value of the router time-code
register, causes a tick-out to be sent to the SpaceWire links and the external time-code interface. The
time-code is propagated to all time-code ports except the port on which the time-code was received. If
the time-code received is not one plus the value of the time-code register then the time-code register
is updated but the tick-out is not performed. In this way circular network paths do not cause a
constant stream of time-codes to be sent in a loop.
3.7 CONTROL/STATUS REGISTERS
The control and status registers in the SpaceWire router provide the means to control the operation of
the router, set the router configuration and parameters or monitor the status of the device. The
registers are accessed using RMAP [AD2] command packets received by the configuration port.

5.2.2 SpaceWire Input Fail Safe Resistors
If a SpaceWire input becomes disconnected then no current flows through the termination resistor.
The differential voltage across this resistor is then zero. A small noise current, induced by electromagnetic interference on PCB tracks or on any part of the SpaceWire cable still attached to the
receiver, will cause a small differential voltage across the termination resistor. If this is positive the
receiver output will be logic 1 and if it the noise current flows in the other direction, giving a negative
differential voltage the receiver output will be logic 0. Just a small amount of noise is sufficient to
cause the output of the LVDS receiver to transition from 0 to 1 and back continuously. This noise can
sometime start a SpaceWire link erroneously.
To overcome this problem a small bias current can be passed through the termination resistor
generating a small positive voltage across the bias resistor and forcing the output of the LVDS
receiver to logic 1. Now any noise current smaller than this bias current will not cause the receiver to
transition. The bias current can be supplied by a pair of resistors connected to the power and ground
rails, as illustrated in Figure 5-1.

Figure 5-1 LVDS Receiver Fail-Safe Resistors
The current generator, In, represents any noise picked up by the disconnected SpaceWire cable or
PCB tracks. In Figure 5-1, In is shown as a negative current which causes a negative differential
voltage across the termination resistor RT. The bias resistors R1 and R2 cause a bias current , I n, to
flow through the termination resistor. Provided that the bias current is greater than any negative noise
current the output of the LVDS receiver will be logic 1. If the noise current is positive then the LVDS
receiver output is logic 1 anyway.
The bias resistors must be chosen to give a bias current through the termination resistor greater than
any expected noise current when the input is disconnected. Note that careful PCB design can reduce
electro-magnetic interference and reduce the noise current.

The bias resistor values are determined as follows:
1. Determine the amount of noise protection required.
E.g. if the maximum noise voltage expected is less than 10 mV then the bias current required is Ib =10
mV/100= 0.1 mA. Note: the bias current should be at least an order of magnitude lower than the 3
mA current loop used for normal LVDS operation.
2. Determine the total resistance, RB, from bias supply VDD to ground, RB = VDD / Ib.
E.g. RB = 3.3 V/0.1 mA = 33 k. Since RT is much smaller than this value it can be ignored.
3. Determine the ratio of R2 to the total resistance, RB.
The line common mode voltage, Vcm, should be 1.25 V so the ratio of R2 to RB is R2/RB = 1.25 V/3.3 V
= 0.379.
4. Calculate the value of R2 and round down to a standard value.
E.g. R2 = 0.379 x 33 k = 12.5 kso the nearest standard value is 12 k (E24 series).
5. Now recalculate the value of RB to give the required line common mode voltage
E.g. RB = 12k / 0.379 V = 31.6 k.
6. Calculate the value of R1, R1 = RB - R2, and round to a standard value.
E.g. R1 = 31.6 k – 12 k = 19.6 k, so the nearest standard value is 20 k (E24 series) or 19.6 k
(E48 series).
7. Check the maximum noise voltage and common mode voltage.
E.g. Vn = 3.3 V x 100  / 32 k = 10.3 mV and Vcm = 3.3 V x 12 k32 k = 1.24 V
If the noise on the disconnected inputs is likely to be higher than 10 mV then other resistor values
need to be calculated.
For further details see RD1 and RD2.

5.2.3 Operation with 5V Powered LVDS Devices
WARNING
Since LVDS is based on a current loop it should not matter what the supply voltage is to an LVDS
device connected to the SpW-10X router. However, there is a potential problem when connecting to
devices with power supplies greater than 3.3 V, which is the supply voltage of the SpW-10X device. It
should be emphasised that during normal operation there is no problem, but if the LVDS device
connected to the SpW-10X device can fail in such a way as to put a higher voltage than 3.3 V on to
the pins of the SpW-10X device then this can cause a problem. The simplest way to overcome this
potential problem is to ensure that the LVDS devices driving the SpW-10X device are all powered by
3.3V.
5.3 EXTERNAL PORT DATA SIGNALS

Description
Type
The rising edge of the EXT_TICK_IN signal is used
CMOS3V3
to indicate when a time-code is to be sent. On the
rising edge of the EXT_TICK_IN signal the
SEL_EXT_TIME signal is sampled to determine if
the time-code value is to be provided by the internal
time-counter or by the external time input
EXT_TIME_IN(7:0).
The SEL_EXT_TIME and the EXT_TIME_IN(7:0)
signals must be set up prior to the rising edge of
EXT_TICK_IN and must be held static sometime
afterwards. See section 10.4 for timing details.

EXT_TIME_IN(7:0) provides the value of the time-
CMOS3V3
code to be distributed by the router when an
external time-code source is selected i.e. when
SEL_EXT_TIME is high on the rising edge of
EXT_TICK_IN.
When SEL_EXT_TIME is high on the rising edge of
EXT_TICK_IN the value of the time-code counter is
used for bits 5:0 of the time-code and bits 7:6 of the
EXT_TIME_IN(7:0) are used for the two control
signals, bits 7:6 of the time-code.
If the time-code port is not being used these inputs
should be pulled down (e.g. 4k7 ).

SEL_EXT_TIME
In
If SEL_EXT_TIME is high on the rising edge of
CMOS3V3
EXT_TICK_IN the value on EXT_TIME_IN(7:0) is
loaded into the internal time-code register and
propagated by the router.
If SEL_EXT_TIME is low on the rising edge of
EXT_TICK_IN the value to be sent in the time-code
will be taken from the internal time-code counter in
the router. The two control-bits (bits 7:6) of the
time-code will come from bits 7:6 of the
EXT_TIME_IN(7:0) input.
If the time-code port is not being used this input
should be pulled down (e.g. 4k7 ).

6. INTERFACE OPERATIONS
This section describes the operation of the external FIFO port, time-code interface and status/power
on configuration interface.
First a note on the terminology used: Signals are given a name (e.g. EXT_IN_FULL) and a logic level
(e.g. _N). The term asserted is used when the signal state reflects the signal name e.g. EXT_IN_FULL
is asserted when the external input FIFO is full. The term de-asserted is used when the signal state is
the inverse of the signal name e.g. EXT_IN_FULL is de-asserted when the external input FIFO is not
full. The logic level when a signal is asserted is indicated by the logic level extension to the signal
name. If there is no extension then when the signal is asserted it is logic 1 (high). If the _N extension
is present then when the signal is asserted it is logic 0 (low). For example, EXT_IN_FULL_N asserted
means that the physical signal is logic 0 (low) when the external input FIFO is full.

Figure 6-1 External port write timing specification
The operation of the External port during write operations starts with the EXT_IN_FULL_N signals
being de-asserted (going high) by the router (at clock cycle 2 in Figure 6-1) to indicate to the external
system that the router has room for more data and is ready to receive it through the External port. The
External system then puts data onto the EXT_IN_DATA data lines and asserts EXT_IN_WRITE_N
(goes low) to transfer data into the External port on the next rising edge of SYSCLK. As long as there
is room for new data (EXT_IN_FULL_N is de-asserted (high) the writer access is performed as long
as EXT_IN_WRITE_N is asserted (low). If no room is available the write access is ignored (cycle 9
and 10 in Figure 6-1) and will be performed when room has become available if EXT_IN_WRITE_N is
still asserted (low). Therefore the data (EXT_IN_DATA) must be valid at that time.

Figure 6-2 External port read timing specification
Reading of the External port is illustrated in Figure 6-2. When data is available in the External port
FIFO then it is placed on the EXT_OUT_DATA bus and the EXT_OUT_EMPTY_N signal is asserted
to signal to the external system that data is available. This is done synchronously to the SYSCLK
signal (e.g. clock cycle 2 in Figure 6-2). When it is ready the external system asserts the
EXT_OUT_READ_N signal synchronously with the SYSCLK signal (e.g. clock cycle 3) and the data is
then read out of the external port on the next rising edge of the SYSCLK (e.g. start of clock cycle 4). If
there is no more data available in the FIFO then the EXT_OUT_EMPTY_N is de-asserted once the
data has been read. If the FIFO contains more data to transfer then the EXT_OUT_EMPTY_N
remains asserted, the new data is placed on the EXT_OUT_DATA bus and the external system can
read it as soon as it is ready. The read access is ignored if there is no data available
(EXT_OUT_EMPTY_N is active).

Time-codes can be generated by the router on request of the external system to which it is attached. A
time-code is generated whenever the router detects a rising edge on the EXT_TICK_IN signal as
illustrated in Figure 6-3. The value of the time-code to be transmitted is either taken from the inputs or
from the time-code counter inside the router. The time-code source used depends on the value of the

SEL_EXT_TIME signal when EXT_TICK_IN signal has a rising edge. If SEL_EXT_TIME is 1 then the
EXT_TIME_IN(7:0) inputs are used to provide the contents of the time-code. If SEL_EXT_TIME is 0
then the internal time-code counter provides the least-significant 6-bits of the time-code and the
EXT_TIME_IN(7:6) inputs provide the most-significant 2-bits. When using the EXT_TIME_IN(7:0)
inputs to provide the complete time-code, the time-code is only broadcast if it is a valid time-code i.e. if
the count in bits 5:0 is one more than the internal time register of the router (see SpaceWire standard
[AD1]). Note that only one router or node in a SpaceWire network should normally operate as a time
master generating time codes (see SpaceWire standard [AD1]).

be placed on the EXT_TIME_OUT outputs and the EXT_TICK_OUT signal will be set to zero. The
EXT_TICK_OUT signal is set to one a short time later, once the EXT_TIME_OUT outputs have
stabilised, to indicate that these outputs are valid. They then remain valid until the next time-code is
received and the EXT_TICK_OUT signal will be set to zero.

7. SPACEWIRE ROUTER PACKET TYPES
This section describes how the routing control logic interprets packets.
7.1 PACKET ADDRESSES
The routing control logic interprets the first byte of each received packet as the packet address. The
packet address defines the physical ports through which the routing control logic will use to route the
packet towards its destination.
Packets which have a path address (0-31) as the first byte are always routed to the corresponding
physical port number on the router. Packets which have a logical address (32-255) are routed to
physical ports dependent on the contents of the routing table. The internal SpaceWire router routing
table can be set up to assign logical addresses to the physical ports, except the configuration port
(port 0) which can only be accessed by path addressing
The physical port addresses for the SpaceWire router and the expected packet type is defined in the
table below. The packet types can be viewed in section 0.

7.2 PACKET PRIORITY
Each packet which is input to the router has an associated priority level, either as a result of the
packet address or the internal routing table. Two priority levels HIGH and LOW are supported.

7.3 PACKET HEADER DELETION
Header deletion is performed on packets dependent on the packet address. Packets which have path
addresses or logical addresses which have the header deletion bit set in the routing table have the
header address byte removed before the packet is routed to the destination.
The table below defines the header deletion settings for each address.

Note that header deletion is always enabled for path addresses and cannot be changed by
configuration. Header deletion for logical addresses can be enabled or disabled via a configuration
register (see section 9.3).
7.4 INVALID ADDRESSES
Packets which have invalid addresses are discarded by the routing control logic. Path addresses
which are in the range 11-31, logical addresses which are set as invalid in the routing table and empty
packets (packets with no address or cargo) input to the external port are flagged as invalid packet
addresses.
A packet address error is also generated when a packet address causes the packet to be routed back
through the port on which the packet was received, i.e. a loop-back, and the router control register bit
address self is not enabled.
When an invalid address packet is received by the router then the routing control logic flags the error
to the corresponding port status register, spills the packet address, data and end of packet marker and
waits for the next packet.

The RMAP read-modify-write command is supported by the SpaceWire router. The read modify write
command is used to set or reset a single or number of bits in a router register. The Read-Modify-Write
command is useful when it is desirable to set a link register setting without upsetting the other settings
in one command, i.e. set the start bit without modifying the data rate.
In Figure 7-7 the first byte received by the SpaceWire router configuration logic is the port address
followed by the destination logical address. Fields which are depicted in bold text are expected values.
Fields which are shaded are optional.

7.6.7 Command Packet Cyclic Redundancy Check
The header and data part of an RMAP packet are protected from errors by the use of an 8 bit CRC
code. The header and data CRC is formed using the CRC-8 code used in ATM (Asynchronous
Transfer Mechanism). CRC-8 has the polynomial:
X 8  X 2  X 1  1 with a starting value of 00h.
Command packets received by the SpaceWire router which have an invalid header CRC are
discarded and the Invalid Header CRC bit is set in the configuration port register.
7.6.8 Local Source Path Address
The configuration reply packet shall be routed out of the router port the packet arrived on. For
example, if SpaceWire port 1 passed a configuration command to the configuration port then the reply
packet is returned to port 1.
7.6.9 Source Path Address Field
The RMAP command field “source path address length” indicates the number of source path
addresses which are expected in the packet. Up to 12 source path addresses can be accepted by the
router configuration port. The source path addresses shall be decoded by the SpaceWire router as
follows.

control logic determines how the SpaceWire link ports operate, how received packets are routed to
their destination and how the timeout mechanism detects packet blockages in the router.
8.1 SPACEWIRE LINK CONTROL
Each of the eight SpaceWire links has an associated SpaceWire control register. The register records
status information from each link including link error information, link state and run status (see section
9.4.3).
The SpaceWire link control bits determine how the SpaceWire link operates. The link control bits are
Auto-start (default), Link-Start, Link-Disable and Deactivate. The SpaceWire link data rate divider can
also be set in the link control register.
The following paragraphs define each of the link control functions
8.1.1 Default operating mode
The default operating mode is Auto-Start. This is the mode setting for each link after power on or
reset.
8.1.2 Auto-Start
In auto-start mode the SpaceWire port will remain inactive until a connection attempt is made by the
SpaceWire device at the other end of the SpaceWire link. The port will then start-up and make the
connection
The Auto-Start mode in conjunction with the automatic Link-Start and disable modes can help reduce
power consumption by only activating SpaceWire links when packet data is transferred. See section 0.
8.1.3 Link-Start
The link-start control bit commands the SpaceWire port to try to make a connection with a SpaceWire
device at the other end of the link. Assuming a SpaceWire device is connected to the other end of the
link the SpaceWire port will move to state Run. Data transfer can take place when the link is started
and the Link state is Run.

8.1.4 Link-Disable
The SpaceWire port can be disabled therefore rendering the link unusable. When a SpaceWire link
which is running is disabled it will disconnect from the far end and refuse connection attempts by the
far end of the link. Caution should be used when using this command for a stand alone router as
disabling all the links will leave the router unusable, except through a reset operation.
WARNING
If the link that is being used to configure the router is disabled then it will not be possible to configure
the router, unless there is another not disabled connection that can be used.
8.1.5 Automatic deactivate driver mode
The SpaceWire port deactivate bit can be set to cause the data and strobe outputs for the link to be
deactivated when the port is inactive. The deactivate mode takes effect dependent on the state of the
Auto-start and the Link-Disabled control bits in the SpaceWire port control register (see section 9.4.3)
and on the Enable Start on Request bit in the router control register (see section 9.5.3).
When Auto-start is enabled and the deactivate bit is set then the data and strobe LVDS drivers are
deactivated until the interface receives a connection attempt by an external SpaceWire device. The
drivers are then enabled until the external device disconnects the link or the SpaceWire link control bit
setup is changed.
When Start on Request is enabled and the deactivate bit is set the LVDS drivers are deactivated until
a request is made from within the router to send data out of the SpaceWire port with deactivated
output drivers i.e. a packet arriving at another port is addressed to be routed out of the SpaceWire port
with deactivated outputs. The drivers are enabled and the SpaceWire port will attempt to make a
connection with the other end of the SpaceWire link.
When Link-disable is asserted and the deactivate bit is set then the data and strobe LVDS drivers are
always deactivated as the link is not in use.
The figure below shows the effect of the deactivate bit when the link setting is Auto-start only.

Current can now flow from the 3.3 volt supply to ground. When the bias resistors for 10mV noise
margin are used, the total current flowing out of the LVDS outputs is around 200 µA as illustrated in
Figure 8-3
WARNING
The deactivate mode (see also section 9.4.3) does not tri-state the LVDS outputs. The LVDS outputs
are cold-sparing and when disabled both outputs in an LVDS differential pair are pulled up to 3.3V and
have an impedance of the order of 1 kohm. Since they are differential outputs and are both are at the
same voltage no current will flow. If, however, external noise bias resistors are being used then a
small current (around 200 µA, 0.7 mW power) can flow. This is substantially less than the normal
operating current of LVDS outputs and hence saves power.
8.1.6 Setting the SpaceWire port transmit data rate
The SpaceWire port transmit data rate is dependent on the input signal FEEDBDIV (See section 5.1),
the PLL output clock divider value TXDIV (See section 9.5.9) and the data rate divider value TXRATE
in each SpaceWire link control register (See section 9.4.3). The resultant data rate is determined by
the function.

In Table 8-1 the values with a white background are the values that should be used. The values which
are shaded red should not be used.
The first three columns give settings for the FEEDBDIV pins on the SpW-10X device, the TXDIV field
in the transmit clock register (see section 9.5.9) and the TX10MbitDIV field also in the transmit clock
register.

The columns header TXRATE give the SpaceWire transmit data rate obtained for various settings of
the TXRATE field in a SpaceWire port control register. The duty cycle of the SpaceWire data rate
clock is given in the row immediately underneath the TXRATE values. If the duty cycle is not 1:1 then
one bit period will be shorter than the next, as for the 10 Mbits/s data rate. Again permitting a
maximum 10% variation in the bit periods allows a worst case duty cycle of 9:11. The valid transmit
data rate values which have corresponding valid 10Mbits/s data rate values have a white background
in the table. The TXRATE divider is actually a 7-bit field so there are many more possible columns
under TXRATE. All of these TXRATE columns would give valid transmit data rates. The values for
these additional columns can be calculated using the formulae given above.
The Initialisation Data Rate columns of the table give the frequency of the 10 Mbits/s clock used
during initialisation and the duty cycle of adjacent bit periods.. The data rate must be in the range 9-11
Mbits/s. The actual 10 Mbits/s data rate is produced from a 5 MHz clock signal using double data rate
outputs to save power. The duty cycle column gives the duty cycle of the 5 MHz start up data/strobe
clock. If this is not 1:1 then one data bit period will be shorter than the next data bit period. This can
reduce skew tolerance and hence the maximum operating speed of the SpaceWire ports. Taking a
limit of 10% of the bit period allows the use of 10Mbit/s clocks with a duty cycle of 9:11 as the worst
case. The corresponding setting for the TX10MbitDIV field in the transmit clock register (see section
9.5.9) is given in the third column. Only the rows with valid Initialisation data rate and duty cycle
should be used.
The following steps should be followed to set a particular transmit data rate using values from Table
8-1:
1. Select the required SpaceWire transmit data rate from Table 8-1.Only values with a white
background in the table should be used. Values with a red/shaded background should not be
used.
2. Set the FEEDBDIV pins on the SpW-10X device to the corresponding value in Table 8-1.
3. Set the TXDIV and TX10MbitDIV fields in the transmit clock control register (see section 9.5.9)
using values from Table 8-1. Normally this would be done once after reset.
4. Set the required transmit data-rate of each link individually using the Transmit Rate (TXRATE)
field of the SpaceWire port control registers (see 9.4.3). The values to use for these fields
should be taken from Table 8-1 corresponding to one of the white background entries. If the
transmit data rate of a SpaceWire port is to be changed frequently it should be done using the
TXRATE divider.
Note that the SpW-10X device will not allow a TXDIV and TXRATE to be set to give a transmit data
rate below 2 Mbits/s.

8.2 GLOBAL SPACEWIRE LINK CONTROL
The following modes are global to all SpaceWire links. The modes can be set in the SpaceWire router
control register (see section 9.5.3).
8.2.1 Start on request mode
The Start on Request mode is enabled by setting the CFG_START_ON_REQ bit in the router control
register. The input signal POR_START_ON_REQ_N determines the power on or reset state of the
CFG_START_ON_REQ bit.
When a SpaceWire packet is received which is to be routed out of a SpaceWire port that is not
running it would normally be discarded. If the Start on Request mode is enabled instead of discarding
the packet the SpaceWire port will attempt to make a connection with the other end of the link. If a
connection can be made then the packet is forwarded on towards its destination. This is illustrated in
Figure 8-4. This mode allows the SpaceWire ports to be started automatically when there is data to
send. This can be used together with output deactivate to save power.

state of the CFG_DISABLE_ON_SILENCE bit.

The SpaceWire router Disable on Silence mode is used to disable a SpaceWire link when it no longer
has any data to transfer. The Disable on Silence mode is enabled only when the router timeouts are
enabled. The SpaceWire port is disabled if no data or end of packet character has been transmitted
for the timeout period set in the router control register.
The SpaceWire router will only disable a SpaceWire port when the SpaceWire router is the source of
the data transfer. If an external device starts the SpaceWire link or sends packet data to the router
through the link then the link will not be disabled.
8.3 CONTROL LOGIC AND ROUTING
This section describes the operation of the SpaceWire routing logic and how packets are handled for
different modes of operation of the router. The following control bits in the router control register affect
the router operating mode: Timeout Enable, Enable Disable on Silence, Enable Start on Request and
Enable self-addressing.
8.3.1 Packet address error
When a packet with an invalid address, see section 7.4, is received the packet is discarded by the
router. The router is ready to receive the next packet as soon as the invalid address packet has been
spilt.
8.3.2 Arbitration
Arbitration is performed by the SpaceWire router when two or more packets are to be routed through
the same destination port. The router chooses the next packet to be routed to a particular output port

dependent on the previous input port which had access to that output port. The next input port to
transfer data to an output port is the next highest port number (modulo number of ports) that has data
to send. Thus the input port which previously had access to the output port will be selected last by the
router control logic. For example, if input port 2 is transferring data to output port 1 and input ports 5
and 7 are waiting to transfer data to port 1, then port 5 will selected next.
Packets which have high priority are always selected before low priority packets in the router. If two or
more packets of the same priority level are attempting to use the same destination port then the
packets are arbitrated in a fair manner.
Note that router configuration packets, both commands and replies, are treated the same as any other
packet as far as arbitration is concerned. The arbitration scheme is equally applicable to all types of
packets with no exceptions. When sending long packets, arbitration can cause substantial delays in
transferring information.
The following sub-sections illustrate the various scenarios where arbitration is necessary.
8.3.2.1 Arbitration of packets with matching priority (1)
In the Figure 8-6 an example of arbitrating between packets with the same priority is illustrated. Only
router ports 1-5 are shown for clarity.
At stage one input ports 1 and 3 have packets to be routed to output port 5. The previous input port to
use output port 5 was input port 3 therefore the next input port to be selected by output port 5 will be
input port 1 (assuming input ports 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 0 are not requesting to use output port 5).
At stage two the router selects the packet arriving at input port 1 and the packet is routed through
output port 5. Input port 3 waits until all of the packet from input port 1 has been transferred.
At stage three the complete packet has been transferred from input port 1. Now input port 3 is able to
transfer its packet to output port 5.

At stage two the router selects the packet at input port 1 and a packet is routed to output port 5. Input
port 3 waits until the complete packet has been transferred. While the packet from input port 1 is
being transferred to output port 5 another packet arrives at input port 2 to be routed to output port 5.
At stage three the packet from input port 1 has been forwarded and the packet from input port 2 is
selected by the router to be routed through output port 5. Input port two is selected before input port 3
as it is the next input port to be considered by the routing control logic after input port 1.
At stage four p the complete packet has been transferred from input port 2. Now input port 3 is able to

In the Figure 8-8 arbitration of packets with different priority is illustrated. Only router ports 1-5 are
shown for clarity.
At stage one input ports 1 and 3 have packets with logical addresses 80 and 52 respectively, which
are both to be routed to output port 5. Logical address 80 is high priority and 52 low priority.
At stage two the previous input port selected by output port 5 was input port 2 but since input port 1
has a packet waiting with logical address 80 which is high priority, input port 1 will be selected first and
the packet with logical address 80 transferred to output port 5.
At stage three the high priority packet with logical address from input port 1 has been transferred and
the remaining low priority packet from input port 3 is selected by the router to be transferred to output
port 5.

8.3.2.4 Arbitration of packets with different priority (2)
In Figure 8-8 another example of arbitration of packets with different priority is illustrated. Only router
ports 1-5 are shown for clarity.
At stage one input ports 1 and 3 have packets with logical addresses 80 and 52 respectively, which
are both to be routed to output port 5. Logical address 80 is high priority and 52 low priority. Input port
4 has just finished transferring a packet to output port 5.
At stage two the previous port selected by output port 5 was input port 4 therefore the high priority
packet waiting at input port 1 which has logical address 80 is selected and its packet transferred to
output port5. In the meantime a packet with high priority logical address 80 arrives at input port 4.
At stage three the packet from input port 1 has been forwarded and the packet with HIGH priority at
input port 4 is selected by the routing control logic as the next packet to be routed to output port 5. In
the meantime a packet with low priority logical address 52 arrives at input port 4.
At stage number four the high priority packet from input port 4 has been forwarded and the routing
control logic arbitrates again for access to output port 5. There are no high priority packets waiting to
use output port 5 so the low priority packets that are waiting are considered. The previous low priority
packet that was routed through output port 5 was from input port 1, therefore the next packet selected
by the routing control logic is the one from input port 3.
At stage number five the packet from input port 3 has completed and the low priority packet waiting at
input port 1 gets its chance to access output port 5 and is forwarded.
Note that low priority packets will not be routed until there are no more high priority packets waiting to
be routed to the same output port. Therefore, in the situation when there is a high volume of high
priority traffic coming from multiple ports, a low priority packet could never get the chance to be routed.
This low priority packet would never timeout even when timeout is enabled, thus blocking the link
indefinitely. If the tail of this packet goes through another SpW-10X router, this other router will timeout
and spill the tail of the router.

8.3.3 Group Adaptive Routing
The SpaceWire router routing table can be set up to support group adaptive routing of packets.
Setting the routing table contents is described in section 9.3.
In group adaptive routing a set of output ports can be assigned to a logical address. When a packet
arrives with the logical address the routing table is checked for the set of output ports which the packet
can use. The routing control logic then checks the possible router output ports to determine if any of
them are free and ready to use. As soon as one of the possible output ports associated with the
logical address of the packet is free and ready to use then the packet is routed through that output
port. If all the set of output ports which the logical address packet can use are free then the router
chooses the lowest numerical output port number to route the packet.
Arbitration is performed on group adaptive routing packets as defined in section 8.3.2.
The following sub-section consider various situations that can occur during group adaptive routing.
8.3.3.1 Normal Group adaptive routing
In normal group adaptive routing the lowest numerical output port in the group that is ready to use is
used to transfer the packet. This is illustrated in Figure 8-10.

8.3.3.2 Group adaptive routing when busy
The situation when some of the output ports in group are busy is illustrated in Figure 8-11. Logical
address 76 has group adaptive routing set up so that packets with that address can use output ports
4, 5 or 6. In Figure 8-11 output ports 4 and 5 are busy, and port 6 is not being used. When a packet
with logical address 76 arrives at input port 1 it is routed immediately to output port 6.

A similar arrangement to that of section 8.3.3.2 is shown in Figure 8-12. In this scenario, two of the
output ports which address 76 can use are not ready for use (i.e. the links are not running). The
packet is routed to output port 6 since it is running and not being used to route another packet.

Note: if the Start on Request mode is enabled, the output ports in the group that are not ready will

first.
8.3.4 Loop-back with Self-Addressing
The Enable Self-Addressing bit in the router control register determines if the router is to support loopback connections. Loop-back connections can be useful for debugging or ping operations where a
packet is “bounced” of the router and returned to the source. If the Enable Self-Addressing bit is clear

8.3.5 Packet Blocking
The Time-Out Enable bit (bit 0) of the router control register enables the watchdog timers on the ports.
When this bit is set and the watchdog timers are enabled the router is in “Watchdog Timer” mode.
When it is clear and the watchdog timers are disable then the router is in the “Blocking Allowed”mode.
In Blocking Allowed mode packets wait indefinitely on other packets to complete. An exception to this
is when an output port that a packet is to be routed to is a SpaceWire port and that port is not started.
In this case the packet waits as long as the timeout period and is then discarded if the output port has
not started. If group adaptive routing is being used and at least one of the destination ports is running
then the packet will wait indefinitely for that output port to become free or another one in the group to
start.
In Watchdog Timer mode watchdog timers on the ports are used to clear packets from the network if
they become blocked, either while being routed or while waiting on a port which is not granted to any
other port. The watchdog timers are restarted every time a data character is transferred. They are
stopped after an EOP and started again on the first data character of a packet. In this way the time to
transfer a complete packet is not checked but instead the watchdog timers check if a packet has
blocked (i.e. no data transfers).
A blocked packet is spilt by terminating the packet at the router output port with an EEP and spilling
the remainder of the packet to be transmitted up to and including the EOP at the router input port. If
the router output port is blocked (full) and cannot accept data then the EEP is added after the port is
unblocked.
WARNING
Blocking Allowed mode is not recommended and should be used with caution.
When Blocking Allowed mode is used (Watchdog timers disabled) then it is important that provision is
made for a network manager to detect blocking situations and to reset the nodes or routers causing
the problem.
The various ways in which an input port can become blocked and the resulting actions taken by the
router are considered in the following sub-sections:
8.3.5.1 Blocked destination
In a blocked destination scenario data cannot be transmitted to the destination port because there is
no more transmit credit (no more FCTs received) in a SpaceWire port or an external port output FIFO
has become full. Since the destination node is blocked the packet data is left strung out across the
SpaceWire network from the packet source to the blockage. In this situation the tail of the packet is
distributed across multiple routers and other network paths can become blocked waiting on the
original blocked packet to complete.

In blocking allowed mode the network path is blocked until the destination node starts to accept data
again. Packets waiting to use the network path will wait indefinitely.
In watchdog timer mode the router will timeout and the network path will be cleared so other packets
can use the path.
Blocking Allowed Mode
What happens when Blocking Allowed mode is being used and a destination node becomes blocked
is illustrated in Figure 8-14 to Figure 8-16. In this example two routing switches, R1 and R2, are
connected to form a network and only SpaceWire ports 1 to 6 are shown for clarity.
a) A packet arrives at port 3 of routing switch R1 destined for port 4 and then port 5 of R2 (as
shown by the path address 4, 5 at the head of the packet.

currently busy and can only be routed if the downstream node starts receiving data again.

buffer space is available and the network path between routing switch R1 port 4 and routing

8.3.5.2 Stalled source
A source of a SpaceWire packet can stall for some reason and stop sending data part way through
sending a packet. A router will see this situation as an input port which has stalled, no longer sending
data part way through sending a packet although the SpaceWire link is still running. This situation can
occur due to an error in the network or in the node that was providing data.
In blocking allowed mode the network path will be blocked until the source node supplies the end of
packet. Other packets waiting to use the network path will wait indefinitely.
In watchdog timer mode the routers will timeout and the network path will be cleared so other packets
can use the path.
Blocking Allowed
The sequence of events when a source is stalled and Blocking Allowed mode is being used is
illustrated in Figure 8-21 to Figure 8-24.
a) A packet arrives at routing switch port 3 with destination address 4, 5 which will route to
routing switch R2 port 5. Another packet arrives which is destined for routing switch R2 port 4.

8.3.5.3 Waiting for an output port
When a packet arrives at an input port of the SpW-10X router is has to wait to be forwarded to an
output port. How long the packet waits will depend on whether the router is in Blocking Allowed or
Watchdog Timer mode and on what the output ports are doing. Various situations are considered
below:
In Blocking Allowed mode packets will wait indefinitely to be granted access to an output port. There is
one exception to this: if the destination port is a SpaceWire port and the port is not started the packet
will only wait as long as the timeout period and then the router will spill the packet. If group adaptive
routing is being used and at least one of the output ports in the group is running then the packet will
wait indefinitely until the running port is ready, even if one or more of the other ports are not started.
In Watchdog Timer mode there are several possible cases which are considered below.
Output port not running: If a packet arrives at an input port of the SpW-10X router and the output
port that it is to be routed to is not running, the router will wait for the output port to start for the
watchdog timeout period and will then spill the packet if the link has not started. If Start on Request
has been enabled the router will wait for the watchdog timer timeout interval for the output port to start.
The packet will be routed to the output port as soon as it starts and a connection is made. If the port
does not start before the end of the timeout interval then the waiting packet will be spilt.\
Output port running and not busy: If a packet arrives at an input port on the SpW-10X router and
the output port that it is to be router to is running but not currently sending a packet, then the newly
arrived packet will be routed immediately.
Output port running and busy: If a packet arrives at an input port on the SpW-10X router and the
output port that it is to be router to is running and currently sending a packet the newly arrived packet
will wait indefinitely for the output port to finish sending is current packet. The waiting packet will then
be sent. This approach is taken because it is clear that the output port is operational and not blocked,
so the newly arrived packet will wait for the current packet to complete transfer.
Output port in a group, not running: A packet arrives at an input port of the SpW-10 router and the
packet has a logical address addressing a group of possible output ports. If all of the ports in the group
are not running, the router will wait for an output port to start for the watchdog timeout period and will
then spill the packet if one of the links has not started. If Start on Request is enabled then the router
will try to start all the ports in the group. The packet will be router to whichever port starts first. If none
of the ports starts before the timeout interval has expired the packet will be spilt.
Output port in a group with one port running and not busy: If a packet arrives at an input port
with a group logical address and one of the output ports in the group is running and not currently busy
sending a packet, the newly arrived packet will be routed to that output port immediately.
Output port in a group with one port busy: If a packet arrives with a group logical address and one
of the output ports in the group is busy sending a packet and the other output ports in the group are
not running, the SpW-10X will wait indefinitely to send the packet, whether or not Start on Request is
enabled. When the busy output port finished sending its packet the waiting packet will be sent.

WARNING
Packets can timeout and be spilled in a SpaceWire network without the destination receiving any
notification of this. Packets with errors (e.g. parity error) can arrive at a destination terminated by an
EEP. In a very special case it is also possible to receive an error free packet terminated by an EEP. It
is important that the destination node is able to handle these cases.

This section describes the internal configuration registers of the SpW-10X Router.
The following subsections contain register bit description tables which hold the following information:

The bit numbers of each field

A descriptive name for each field

The reset value for each field

A description of what the each field in the register is used for

An indication of whether the field is readable and/or writeable by a configuration command.
The internal register size is 32 bits unless otherwise specified in the register description. There are
263 registers in the configuration port addresses. Registers that are shorter than 32-bits or that have
unused fields will return zero in all the unused bit positions when read. The unused bit positions are
ignored during writing but should in any case be set to zero.

The GAR table holds the routing table information that maps logical addresses to one or more port

configuration memory address range of the GAR table is 32-255 (0x0000 0020 – 0x0000 00FF). The
configuration memory address corresponds to the logical address; hence the GAR table entry at
address 39 corresponds to logical address 39.
The logical address to port mapping is held in the REQUEST field. Each bit in this field represents a
physical output port; thus up to 28 possible output ports can be specified using the GAR register,
although only 10 ports (plus the configuration port) are provided in the SpW-10X. The configuration
port is port number 0, the SpaceWire ports are port numbers 1 to 8 and the External ports are ports 9
and 10. When a bit is set in the REQUEST field packets may be routed to the corresponding output
ports. The port number corresponds to the bit position in the GAR register. For example, if
configuration memory address 39 has bit 2 set then a packet with logical address 39 may be routed
out of port 2. If bits 2 and 4 are both set then the packet may be routed out of either port 2 or 4. Port
0, the configuration port, is a special port which can only be accessed using address 0 so this bit
position in the GAR table registers is reserved and will always be set to zero.
The DEL_HEAD bit, when set, causes the leading byte (header) of a packer to be deleted.
The PRIORITY bit determines the priority of the logical address when packets waiting at two input
ports wish to use the same output port (1 = high priority, 0 = low priority).
The INVALID_ADDR bit is set to indicate that the corresponding logical address is not valid.
Table 9-3 describes each field in the GAR register.

WARNING
Care must be taken when setting a the routing tables to avoid a possible infinite loop. For example if
there is a SpaceWire link made between two ports of a single router and a logical address routes a
packet out of one of these ports then that packet will arrive back at the router, and be routed back out
of the port again. Depending on the size of the packet it may block because it cannot get access to the
output port the second time around as the tail of the packet is still being fed to the output port. In this
case the blockage will cause a timeout (when watchdog timer mode set – see section 8.3.5) and the
packet will be spilt. If the packet is a small packet it could continually circle around the loop. A
SpaceWire network architecture and configuration should be checked for possible loops for all logical
addresses being used. Unused logical addresses should NOT be configured in the SpW-10X routing
tables so that a packet arriving at a router with an invalid (unused) logical address will be spilt
immediately.
9.4 PORT CONTROL/STATUS REGISTERS
The port control/status registers address range is 0 – 31 (0x0000 0000 – 0x0000 001F )
The port control/status registers provide the means to configure and control the ports of the router and
for reading the status of each port. There is a port control/status register for each SpaceWire port,
each External port and for the configuration port. The address in configuration memory space of a
port control/status register reflects the physical address of the port. For example, the register for port
0, the configuration port, is at address 0, and the register for a SpaceWire port number 3 is at address
3. Each port control/status register is a 32-bit register.
The fields within the port control/status register depend on the type of port that it is attached to. All port
control/status registers have fields for port type and current port connection. These generic fields are
described first followed by the specific fields for the configuration port, SpaceWire ports and External
ports.
Port control/status register bits 31:24 are generic to all ports. Register bits 23:0 are specific to the type
of port to which the register is attached.
9.4.1 Generic port control/status register fields.
The configuration port control/status fields are described in Table 9-4.

The router control register address is 258 (0x0000 0102).
The router control register sets various control bits in the SpaceWire router. Router functions which
can be controlled are:

Request an output port to initiate start-up when an input packet addresses that output port but
it is not ready to receive data.

Disconnect a SpaceWire port when no activity is detected on the port for the timeout period
duration.

Enable output port timeouts which request the output port to flush when a packet becomes
blocked for a timeout period.

Enable the a router ports to address themselves i.e. provide a loop-back capability.

WARNING
The default timeout intervals of 60-80 µs or 1.3 ms are short. It may be necessary to increase the
timeout interval by a configuration command writing to the router control register. When initially
prototyping a SpaceWire system it is advisable to set the timeout interval to 1.3 s and then decrease it
to an appropriate value once basic system operation has been established.
9.5.4 Error active Register
The error active register address is 259 (0x0000 0103).
The error active register indicates the Error Active bit of the each of the port control/status registers.
By reading from this register a network manager can determine which ports currently have errors. This
register is also used to clear the error bits of the port control/status registers. To do this a write
command is sent to the error active register with bits set for those errors that are to be cleared.

9.5.7 General Purpose Register
The general purpose register address is 262 (0x0000 0106).
The general purpose register contains 32-bits and may be set by a configuration write command to a
user defined value as required. It may also be read with a configuration read command. The general
purpose register has no effect on the operation of the router.
The least-significant 8-bits of the general purpose register are available on the multiplexed status pins,
see section 6.3.
9.5.8 Time-Code Enable Register
The time-code enable register address is 263 (0x0000 0107).
The time-code enable register enables the passing of time-codes out of individual ports on the router.
Bits 1 to 8 of the time-code enable register are used to enable time-code distribution through
SpaceWire ports 1 to 8 respectively. If one of these bits is set to 1 then the corresponding SpaceWire
port is enabled for time-code distribution and will send out a time-code when one is received by the
router. For example, if bit-1 in the enable register is set to 1, time-codes are passed to SpaceWire port
1, whereas if bit-1 is set to 0, time-codes are not passed to SpaceWire port 1.
Bit-9 of the time-code enable register controls time-code distribution to the external time-code
interface in a similar manner. Note that there is only one external time-code interface although there
are two External ports.
The fields of the time-code enable register are shown in Figure 9-9 and described in Table 9-14.

9.5.9 Transmit Clock Control Register
The transmit clock control register address is 264 (0x0000 0108).
The transmit clock control register is shown in Figure 9-10. Bits 1 to 0 are used to determine the
output divide ratio (TXDIV) for the transmit clock internal PLL. Bits 15 to 8 are used to stop the
transmitter clocks of SpaceWire interfaces that are not being used to save power i.e. only clock of the
SpaceWire ports that are going to be used should be enabled. Bits 20 to 16 are used to set the default
10Mbits/s transmit data rate (TX10MbitDIV).
Note: The transmit clock should not be disabled when an output port is sending data or when the
interface is in the run state. The port control/status registers can be used to determine if an output
port is currently connected to an input port and therefore transferring data.

10.6 LATENCY AND JITTER
The timing parameters for the data and time-code latency and the time-code jitter are derived from the
receive clock, transmit clock and system clock period. The worst case number of clock cycles required
is used in each equation.
In the SpaceWire router the system clock is a known frequency and the transmitter and receiver
frequency are derived from the input and output bit rates. The clock frequencies are defined as
follows.
Note: All figures are worst case. Due to the uncertainty of synchronisation between clock domains the
measured time may be less than indicated.
In the following sections the clock periods are defined and the latency and jitter timing parameter
definitions are detailed.
10.6.1 Clock Periods
System Clock Period
TSYSPERIOD = 33.333 ns (Clock Frequency = 30 MHz)
Transmit Clock Period
TTXPERIOD = Transmit bit rate period * 2 (Where Transmit bit rate period is the output bit rate selected
by the user configuration)
Receive Clock Period
TRXPERIOD = Receive bit rate period * 2 (Where Receive bit rate period is the period of the input bit rate)
10.6.2 Switching Latency
Switching latency is the time it takes the router to connect a waiting input port to an output port that
has just finished sending a packet. It includes any time for group adaptive routing and arbitration of
two or more input ports competing for the same output port.
Switching latency for the router is defined as follows
TSWITCH  4  TSYSPERIOD
10.6.3 Router Latency
Router latency is the time taken for a character in a packet to pass through the router assuming that
the packet has already been switched to an output port and that there is no blocking of the output port.
Router latency for the SpaceWire router is defined for port to port data transfer operations as follows:

The variation in time to propagate a time-code through a routing switch.

If a SpW IF is not active (clock and LVDS drivers switched off) assume a reduction of POP by:
(POP - POFF) x 0.1 + 0.06;
Example: 2 SpW interfaces deactivated at 200 Mb/s:
Operational power = 3.7 – ((3.7 – 1.6) x 0.1 + 0.06) x 2 = 3.16 W max
(2)
For the data rates < 200 Mb/s the setting for the lowest power consumption (i.e. lowest PLL and
Tx clock frequency) is assumed.
(3)
The actual data flow has a negligible influence on the power consumption (i.e. very little
difference if NULLs or SpW packets are transferred).
All power figures in Table 11-1 are for maximum conditions, which means 3.6 V for the supply voltage.
If the supply voltage is lower the power consumption sinks as well. The reduction fits to the power
consumption with a resistive load. I.e. at 3.0 V the power consumption is 69.4% of the power
consumption at 3.6V.
The lowest power consumption at a certain data rate is achieved if the PLL is set to the lowest
possible frequency (setting of FEEDBDIV inputs) and the SpW Tx clock to the lowest possible
frequency (setting of TXDIV in register) for that SpW data rate.

12.2.10 PLL
See Figure 12-1 the internal wiring of PLL block to better understand the external board recommended
layout. The Voltage drop between PLL loop filter (LF) and the PVCOBIAS pads will be converted into
a current (Ivco) which will determine the VCO frequency. It is critical to avoid any disturbance of that
voltage drop at this will translate directly to jitter in the VCO frequency.
Figure 12-1 PLL Layout Recommendations
The following layout recommendations apply to the PLL circuitry.
1. To minimize voltage parasitic through ground the loop filter and VCO bias components will
have a separate ground plane underneath all PLL pins and components.
2. This PLL ground plane shall be connected at one point to the PLLVSS pad.
3. To minimize other electromagnetic crosstalk effects, SMD components should be used and
placed as close as possible to the corresponding pads.
4. The PLL has been designed to exhibit low sensitivity to power supply variation. VDDPLL can
be externally connected to the core array power supply but the cleaner that power supply the
better the PLL performances is in terms of jitter. Separate 100 nF and 1 µF decoupling
capacitors shall be provided for VDDPLL.

13. ANOMALIES AND WARNINGS
In this section a list of anomalies and warnings is provided:
13.1 ANOMALIES
The following anomalies are present in the prototype SpW-10X router device:
1. Simultaneous transitions on data and strobe can occur during reset and power up. This may be a
problem when operating with legacy IEEE-1355 devices but is not a problem when operating with
SpaceWire compliant devices. See section 13.3for further details on this anomaly.
2. When a parity error in a data character the following characters may be received before the link
disconnects.
13.2 WARNINGS
Various warnings appear in boxes throughout this document. They are all gathered in this section for
convenience.
WARNING
Simultaneous data/strobe transitions can occur during reset and power up. This is not a problem when
connected to SpaceWire compliant devices but is a problem when connected to IEEE-1355 devices.
WARNING
Since LVDS is based on a current loop it should not matter what the supply voltage is to an LVDS
device connected to the SpW-10X router. However, there is a potential problem when connecting to
devices with power supplies greater than 3.3 V, which is the supply voltage of the SpW-10X device. It
should be emphasised that during normal operation there is no problem, but if the LVDS device
connected to the SpW-10X device can fail in such a way as to put a higher voltage than 3.3 V on to
the pins of the SpW-10X device then this can cause a problem. The simplest way to overcome this
potential problem is to ensure that the LVDS devices driving the SpW-10X device are all powered by
3.3V.

WARNING
The deactivate mode (see also section 9.4.3) does not tri-state the LVDS outputs. The LVDS outputs
are cold-sparing and when disabled both outputs in an LVDS differential pair are pulled up to 3.3V and
have an impedance of the order of 1 kohm. Since they are differential outputs and are both are at the
same voltage no current will flow. If, however, external noise bias resistors are being used then a
small current (around 200 µA, 0.7 mW power) can flow. This is substantially less than the normal
operating current of LVDS outputs and hence saves power.
WARNING
In most onboard applications it is recommended to have Stat_mux_out(4) pulled low by default in
order to enable the watchdog timers on reset.
WARNING
When the watchdog timers are not enabled the SpaceWire and external ports can block indefinitely if,
for example, a source stops sending data in the middle of a packet. If watchdog timers are not enabled
then it must be possible for a network manager to detect blocking situations and to reset the router or
node creating the problem.
WARNING
If the link that is being used to configure the router is disabled then it will not be possible to configure
the router, unless there is another not disabled connection that can be used.
WARNING
Blocking Allowed mode is not recommended and should be used with caution.
When Blocking Allowed mode is used (Watchdog timers disabled) then it is important that provision is
made for a network manager to detect blocking situations and to reset the nodes or routers causing
the problem.

WARNING
Packets can timeout and be spilled in a SpaceWire network without the destination receiving any
notification of this. Packets with errors (e.g. parity error) can arrive at a destination terminated by an
EEP. In a very special case it is also possible to receive an error free packet terminated by an EEP. It
is important that the destination node is able to handle these cases.
WARNING
Care must be taken when setting a the routing tables to avoid a possible infinite loop. For example if
there is a SpaceWire link made between two ports of a single router and a logical address routes a
packet out of one of these ports then that packet will arrive back at the router, and be routed back out
of the port again. Depending on the size of the packet it may block because it cannot get access to the
output port the second time around as the tail of the packet is still being fed to the output port. In this
case the blockage will cause a timeout (when watchdog timer mode set – see section 8.3.5) and the
packet will be spilt. If the packet is a small packet it could continually circle around the loop. A
SpaceWire network architecture and configuration should be checked for possible loops for all logical
addresses being used. Unused logical addresses should NOT be configured in the SpW-10X routing
tables so that a packet arriving at a router with an invalid (unused) logical address will be spilt
immediately.
WARNING
If a SpaceWire port that is being used to configure a router has its transmit clock turned off then it will
not be possible to configure the router using that port. Unless there is another connection with an
active clock and which is not disabled that can be used to perform configuration the router will have to
be reset before it can be configured again.
13.3 RESET ANOMALY
This section describes the reset anomaly and suggests appropriate workarounds.
13.3.1 Data Strobe Reset Waveform
If a SpaceWire link is running when the SpW-10X device is reset, part of a NULL pattern is present on
the serial data/strobe outputs of the running link when reset is released, see Figure 13-1. Data and
strobe outputs hold their previous values until reset is applied as seen in Figure 13-2. When reset is

set a glitch may occur on data and strobe, see Figure 13-3. A simultaneous transition or glitch on data
and strobe may occur when reset is released, Figure 13-4.

13.3.2 Data Strobe Disable Waveform
If a SpaceWire link is disabled, either by configuration command or a disconnect, parity, escape or
credit error, the final bit of strobe will be extended to a 100 ns period pulse. No simultaneous
transitions or glitches can occur during a disable operation. This operation is as expected. The reset
anomaly has no effect on link disconnect operation.
The output waveforms during link disconnect are shown in Figure 13-5.
Figure 13-5 Link Disconnect Waveforms
13.3.3 Reset Anomaly Workarounds
The reset anomaly will not cause any problem when operating with any SpaceWire compliant device
[AD1].
When operating with IEEE-1355 devices like the old SMCS332 and SMCS116 devices it is
recommended that the old devices are replaced by the new SpaceWire compliant SMCS332SpW and
SMCS116SpW devices, which are or shortly will be available from Atmel.
If operation with legacy units which use IEEE-1355 devices is necessary and these devices cannot be
replaced by the new SpaceWire compliant parts, then the following reset sequence is recommended:
1. Assert the reset for the SpW-10X device.
2. Assert the reset for any IEEE-1355 devices attached to the SpW-10X device.
3. Release the reset of the SpW-10X device.
4. Wait for at least 10 µs.
5. Release the reset of the IEEE-1355 devices.
Alternatively when only a reset of the SpW-10 is required and an attached IEEE-1355 device is not to
be reset at the same time, then the following reset sequence is recommended:
1. Send configuration commands to the SpW-10X device to disable the ports attached to
IEEE-1355 devices.
2. Once all these ports have been disabled, wait for at least 10 µs.
3. Assert the reset for the SpW-10X device.
4. Release the reset of the SpW-10X device.

13.4 PARITY ERROR ANOMALY
13.4.1 Parity Error Action
A parity error on the SpaceWire link causes the link to be disconnected by the SpaceWire router. If a
packet is being received the packet is discarded and an error end of packet (EEP) is appended to the
end of the packet.
13.4.2 Parity Error Anomaly
The SpaceWire CODEC in the SpW-10X router detects a parity error and then resets the link but it
takes 167ns to reset the link after the parity error has been detected. During this time any data
characters, EOPs or EEPs received after the parity error will be placed in the receive FIFO. These
characters following the parity error are not removed from the receive buffer when the link is reset.
An example of this anomaly is shown in Figure 13-6.
Figure 13-6 Data after parity error anomaly
The number of characters added to the buffer depends on the input bit-rate: higher input bit rates
result in more received characters being appended to the buffer after the parity error. The maximum
time to reset the receiver after detecting the parity error is 167 ns. Therefore if no data characters are
input for 167 ns after the parity error no extra data characters are inserted to the receive buffer.
If the input link rate is below 24 Mbit/s the anomaly will not occur as the smallest data character, end
of packet marker which is 4 bits long cannot be decoded within 167 ns. Above 24 Mbit/s the number of
characters inserted in the buffer depends on the type of character, end of packet or normal data, and
the input bit rate. For example: at 100 Mbit/s a maximum of one received data character can be
added, 100 ns per data character.
If the parity error occurs on the last byte of the packet before the end of packet and the bit rate is
above 24 Mbit/s the error is not recorded by an error end of packet. The receive buffer detects the last
data character written to the buffer is an end of packet and therefore does not insert an error end of
packet to terminate the packet.
The operation is shown in Figure 13-7.

13.4.3 Parity Error Workaround
There is no specific workaround for this anomaly as a similar situation can occur in any case when an
error on a link does not cause an immediate parity error but one is produced in a subsequence
character. To avoid this causing a problem with a SpaceWire application it is important to include
additional integrity checks in critical SpaceWire packets. This approach should also be used to
mitigate the effects of the Parity Error anomaly.
