Peripheral Architecture

2.2Signal Descriptions

The VLYNQ module on the DM644x device is configurable for a 1 to 4 bit-wide RX/TX. Chip-level pin multiplexing registers control the configuration. See the pin multiplexing information in the device-specific data manual.

If the configured width does not match the number of transmit/receive lines that are available on the remote device, negotiation between the two VLYNQ devices automatically configures the width (see Section 2.7).

The VLYNQ interface signals are shown in Table 1.

I/O

Description

I/O

The VLYNQ reference clock supports the internally or externally generated

 

clock.

I/O

The VLYNQ serial clock run request allows remote requests for the VLYNQ

 

serial clock to be turned off for system power management.

 

Low: The request VLYNQ serial clock is active.

 

High: The VLYNQ serial clock is requested to be high when all transactions are

 

complete.

I

VLYNQ receive data is synchronous with the VLYNQ serial clock.

O

VLYNQ transmit data is synchronous with the VLYNQ serial clock.

2.3Pin Multiplexing

The VLYNQ signals share pins on the processor package with other processor functions. The VLYNQ module pins are not enabled at reset. In order to change the default function of device pins at reset, the pin multiplexing registers (PINMUXn) must be configured appropriately. See the pin multiplexing information in the device-specific data manual for more detailed information on the processor pin multiplexing and configuration registers.

2.4Protocol Description

VLYNQ relies on 8b/10b block coding to minimize the number of serial pins and allows for in-band packet delineation and control.

Appendix A provides general information on 8b/10b coding definitions and their implementation within the VLYNQ module in the DM644x device.
