Abstract: This article describes the Antenna Interface Standards Group (AISG) standard in telecommunications and details itshardware implementation. It explains how a fully integrated transceiver such as the MAX9947 can help reduce space and cost, andsolve bus arbitrations in base-station tower equipment.
This application note describes how to implement the Bus LVDS (BLVDS) interface in the supported Altera ® device families for high-performance multipoint applications. This application note also shows the performance analysis of a multipoint application with the Cyclone III BLVDS example.
The high defi nition multimedia interface (HDMI) is fastbecoming the de facto standard for passing digitalaudio and video data in home entertainment systems.This standard includes an I2C type bus called a displaydata channel (DDC) that is used to pass extended digitalinterface data (EDID) from the sinkdevice (such as adigital TV) to the source device (such as a digital A/Vreceiver). EDID includes vital information on the digitaldata formats that the sink device can accept. The HDMIspecifi cation requires that devices have less than 50pFof input capacitance on their DDC bus lines, which canbe very diffi cult to meet. The LTC®4300A’s capacitancebuffering feature allows devices to pass the HDMI DDCinput capacitance compliance test with ease.
This algorithm was developed by Professor Ronald L. Rivest of MIT and can be found presented in several languages. What I provide to you here is a C++ derivative of the original C implementation of Professor Rivets. The library code itself is platform-independant and has been tested in Redhat Linux. I ve included the sample code and makefile that I used for the Linux test. The demo, however, was written with Visual C++ 6 on a Windows 2000 platform.
