SBWP Slave IIP

Overview

SBWP Slave is full-featured, easy-to-use, synthesizable design, compatible with standard protocol of Safe-by-Wire Plus Specification. Through its SBWP compatibility, it provides a simple interface to a wide range of low-cost devices. SBWP Slave IIP is proven in FPGA environment. The host interface of the SBWP Slave can be simple interface or can be AMBA APB, AMBA AHB, AMBA AHB-Lite, AMBA AXI, AMBA AXI-Lite, VCI, OCP, Avalon, PLB, Tilelink, Wishbone or Custom protocol.

SBWP Slave IIP is supported natively in Verilog and VHDL

Key Features

Compliant with version 2.0 Safe-by-Wire Plus Specifications
Full SBWP Slave functionality
Supports occupant restraints bus for deployable devices and for sensors
- Deployment bus for squibs and optionally for static occupancy sensors
- sensor bus for smart or simple impact sensors, dynamic occupancy sensors and optionally for static occupancy sensors
- combined sensor / deployment bus
Supports Bi-directional two-wire bus with integrated power distribution
- Master-Slave operation
- Babbling-idiot protection for deploy messages from master
- Provides optional interrupt possibilities for smart impact sensors
- Optional multi-master operation
Supports variable bus speed with self-clocking slaves
- 20 kbps, 40 kbps, 80 kbps or 160 kbps +/- 13%
- Data throughput example: at 160 kbps, (=160 kHz):
* Transfer time of a deploy message controlling up to 12 deployable devices < 200 μs
* Transfer time for retrieving 8-bit data from 3 impact sensors < 250 μs
- Supports, but does not require, speed change for high-speed deployment messages, initiated by the master
- Supports, but does not require, speed change for high-speed sensor polling messages, initiated by sensors ("interrupt" from sensor)
Supports flexible bus topologies: bus, tree, ring, mixed
Allows design of daisy chain systems, parallel systems and mixed systems
- Bus length of parallel systems up to 40 m
- Bus length of daisy-chain systems up to 25 m
Supports real-time recovery from single-point bus shorts to any voltage within specified range
Supports communication error detection by transmitter (data read-back) and by receiver (CRC)
Supports multi-level protection against inadvertent deployment
- Detection of bit errors by master and by slave
- Special bus level reserved for deploy messages ("analog safing")
- Deployment only possible after charging of the energy reserve capacitor (ERC) in the deployable device
- Deployment only possible when deploy-enable message has been sent before
- Supports the use of two deploy switches, which can be controlled and diagnosed independently over the bus
Allows the use of small hold-up capacitors in the slaves
Fully synthesizable
Static synchronous design
Positive edge clocking and no internal tri-states
Scan test ready
Simple interface allows easy connection to Microprocessor/Microcontroller devices
