Figure 9-1 Example Configuration With Multiple VME FPDP Cards Connected
Several advantages of an FPDP interface include:
Simple hardware is required to interface to FPDP.
FPDP does not interfere with the normal bus operations—VME or PCI traffic can
continue without data transfers wasting bus bandwidth.
No bus contention is possible because there is only one transmitter.
No special backplane is required.
FPDP allows connections from VME chassis to VME chassis.
Systems may have multiple FPDP buses and thus provides scaleable bandwidth.
Multiple FPDP busses may coexist in one chassis.
Throughput can be accurately computed in the design stage.
Little software development is required to move data between cards.
Framed or unframed data may be transmitted across the FPDP link.
Low latency.
