VULCAN Technical Manual About this manual

Getting started

This section explains how to set up and use various features of the VULCAN. If you require more detailed information, see

Using the VULCAN

Using the CompactFlash™ socket

The VULCAN is fitted with a Type I/II CompactFlash socket mounted on the topside of the board. The socket is connected to Slot A of the TI PCI1520 PCI-CardBus bridge interface and supports 3.3V/5V Type I and II CF+ cards for both memory and IO. The VULCAN supports hot swap changeover of the cards and notification of card insertion.

Detailed hardware description, page 15.

There is only one way the CF+ card can be inserted into the socket. The correct orientation is for the top of the card, i.e. the side that is normally printed, to be face up.

Using the serial interfaces (RS232/422/485)

The four serial port interfaces on the VULCAN are fully 16550 compatible. Connection to the serial ports is made via a 40-way boxed header. The pin assignment of these headers has been arranged to enable a 9-way IDC D-Sub plug to be connected directly to the cable. For pin assignments and connector details see

and JTAG connector

A suitable cable for COM1 is provided as part of the Development Kit. The D-Sub connector on this cable is compatible with the standard 9-way connector on a desktop computer.

, page 46.

Using the USB ports

The standard USB connector is an A type 4-way socket, which provides power and data signals to the USB peripheral. Two of four USB ports are available on standard USB connectors. For the other two, the 10-way header J4 is designed to be compatible with PC expansion brackets. For further details, please refer to the sections

interface

, page 31, and J4 – USB header, page 44.

J7 – COMS ports

VULCAN Technical Manual Getting started

Using the PC/104 expansion bus

PC/104 modules can be used with the VULCAN to add extra functionality to the system. This interface supports 8/16 bit ISA bus style peripherals.

Eurotech has a wide range of PC/104 modules which are compatible with the VULCAN, including:

• Digital I/O.

• Analogue I/O.

• Motion control.

• CAN bus.

• Serial interfaces.

Please contact the Eurotech sales team if the interface you require does not appear to be available, as these modules are in continuous development.

If you want to use a PC/104 board with the VULCAN, the board should be plugged into J8 for 8 bit cards and J8/J10 for 8/16 bit cards. The peripheral PC/104 board should normally be plugged into the bottom side of the board. For further details, see

interface

, page 36, and J8 & J10 – PC/104 connectors, page 47.

PC/104

Before you power up the system, check that the jumper settings on the add-on cards for I/O address and IRQ settings do not conflict with each other. The ISA interface on the VULCAN does not support DMA. For PC/104 interrupt use, see

assignments

, page 29.

Interrupt

The VULCAN provides +5V to a PC/104 add-on-board via the J8 and J10 connectors. If a PC/104 add-on board requires a +12V supply, then +12V must be supplied to the VULCAN power connector J9 pin 4. If -12V or -5V are required, these must be supplied directly to the PC/104 add-on board.

The VULCAN is available with non-stack through connectors by special order. Contact the Eurotech sales department for details. See

Eurotech, on page 52.

IXP425 network processor

The VULCAN is based on the Intel IXP425 Xscale network processor (see

www.intel.com/design/network/products/npfamily/ixp425.htm). This is a 32 bit ARM

Architecture v.5TE compliant CPU with integrated peripherals.

The IXP425 network processor has the following features:

• Intel

• Three Network Processor Engines (NPEs) for layer-2 packet/frame network

• PCI 2.2 interface.

• Expansion bus interface operating at 33MHz.

XScale™ core running the system clock rate of 133MHz.

processing.

• 2-MII/RMII interfaces (10/100Mb/s Ethernet).

• 32 bit SDRAM interface operating at 133MHz.

• Encryption/authentication hardware acceleration.

• High-speed UART (921KBaud).

• Console UART (921KBaud).

• Internal bus performance monitoring unit.

• 16 GPIO.

• Four internal timers including watchdog timer.

• Available in 266MHz, 400MHz and 533MHz speed variants

• 492 pin PBGA packaging.

The VULCAN design supports all speed variants of the Intel IXP425 processor. The standard variant of VULCAN uses the 533MHz version of Intel IXP425.

A single 33.33MHz external oscillator is used to run the IXP425 processor. All other clocks are generated internally in the processor.

The GPIO15 processor pin is configured as 33MHz clock output. Zero-delay clock buffer is used to distribute 33MHz clock to devices connected to the PCI bus, and back to the processor’s expansion bus clock input.

The IXP425 network processor also includes a WAN/HSS network processor engine (for UTOPIA 2). This is not connected on the VULCAN SBC.

Page 17

VULCAN Technical Manual Detailed hardware description

The three NPEs in the Intel IXP425 network processor are designed to complement the Intel XScale core for many computationally-intensive communications applications. These tasks include:

• IP header inspection and modification.

• Packet filtering.

• Packet error checking.

• Checksum computation.

• Flag insertion and removal.

The NPE architecture includes an ALU, self-contained internal data memory and an extensive list of I/O interfaces, together with hardware acceleration elements. The hardware acceleration elements associated with an NPE target a set of networking applications. Each hardware acceleration element is designed to increase the speed of a specific networking task that would otherwise take many MIPS to complete using a stand-alone RISC processor. Each NPE can handle layer 2 and, in some cases, layer 3 packets.

The Intel IXP425 network processor provides integrated hardware acceleration for security applications. The network processor implements DES, 3DES and AES data encryption algorithms in addition to SHA-1 and MD5 authentication algorithms, which are typically used in applications such as VPNs (Virtual Private Networks). Using the NPE for dedicated hardware acceleration enables the processing of cryptography and authentication algorithms to be offloaded from the Intel XScale core. The Intel XScale core API calls allow the cryptography and authentication elements to be used by any interface within the Intel IXP425 network processor. This provides maximum flexibility for all interfaces, especially when dealing with security issues over wireless. The highperformance architecture of the Intel IXP425 network processor can support bulk encryption/decryption rates of up to 70 Mbps for DES, 3DES and AES algorithms.

The processor requires two power supply rails. The core uses a 1.3V supply, and the I/O interfaces run at 3.3V, both generated on-board from the main +5V power input, using switching DC/DC converters. For details about its operation, see

power management

, page 37.

Power and

The IXP425 processor is a low power device and does not require a heat sink for ambient temperatures up to 70°C (85°C for the industrial variant).

The first 256MB of address space is configurable based on the value of a

Page 20

VULCAN Technical Manual Detailed hardware description

When the configuration register is set to logic 1, the expansion bus occupies the lowest 256MB of address space. When it is set to logic 0, the SDRAM occupies the lowest 256MB of address space. In both cases, the SDRAM occupies the 768MB immediately following the lowest 256MB and the expansion bus can be accessed starting at the address 5000_0000.

Upon reset Expansion bus on VULCAN starts at address 0000_0000 and SDRAM can be accessed starting from address 1000_0000. RedBoot reconfigures the memory map so that Expansion bus starts at address 5000_0000 and SDRAM starts at address 0000_0000.

The largest SDRAM memory size supported by the Intel processors is 256MB.

The actual memory implemented in any given configuration is aliased (repeated) to fill the 1GB SDRAM address space. Due to aliasing, all of the SDRAM is accessible even when the expansion bus occupies the lowest 256MB of address space. On reset, the configuration register in the expansion bus is set to logic 1. This setting is required because the dedicated boot memory is Flash memory located on the expansion bus.

PCI bus

The IXP425 network processor PCI interface is a 32 bit 66MHz / 33MHz PCI controller and PCI bus compatible with PCI v2.2 specification. The PCI controller on VULCAN is configured to operate at 33MHz as a host, with internal built-in PCI arbiter and PCI initiator capabilities. 33MHz clock distribution for PCI based devices and the processor’s expansion bus interface are implemented using the GPIO15 clock output of the IXP425 processor and the zero-delay clock buffer.

The Initialization Device SELect (IDSEL) signals of each of the PCI devices are mapped to the PCI address and data bus (PCI_AD) signals as shown in the table below. The corresponding PCI device is selected if the PCI address and data bus signal mapped to the particular PCI device IDSEL signal is asserted.

Device IDSEL signal PCI interrupt mapping

USB 2.0 host controller PCI_AD31 USB_INTA# GPIO2

CardBus controller PCI_AD30 CF_INTB# GPIO3

PCI bus devices can be reset using bit 4 of WD setup register. The register is memory mapped and located on the expansion bus (CS5#). The following table shows the WD setup register bit definitions:

VULCAN Technical Manual Detailed hardware description

Real time clock

The RTC used on the VULCAN is the Dallas DS1302 RTC. The accuracy of the DS1302 RTC is based on the operation of the 32.768KHz watch crystal. Its calibration tolerance is 20ppm, which provides an accuracy of +/-1 minute per month if the ambient temperature is +25°C. When the board is used at other temperatures, its accuracy may be reduced, typically by -0.035ppm/ accuracy changes by a maximum of ±3ppm in the first year, ±1ppm in the year after, and decreases logarithmically in subsequent years. The following IXP425 GPIO pins are used to emulate the serial I/O interface to the DS1302 RTC:

IXP425 GPIO pin Function

GPIO 0 RTC_RST#

GPIO 1 RTC_CLK

°C² ±10%. The watch crystal’s

GPIO 13 RTC_D

The DS1302 RTC also contains 31 bytes of RAM, which can be used for any data that must be recoverable on power-up. RTC is backed by an external battery or the onboard supercap. For details, see page

37.

Battery backup, page 37 and GoldCap backup,

DS1302 RTC is also used in the tamper detect circuit. This means that if a tamper switch is not used, a jumper is required on the J11 connector for the RTC to operate. Without a jumper link RTC clock will stop. See

J11 – Tamper

jumper, page 51.

Page 24

VULCAN Technical Manual Detailed hardware description

Tamper detect circuit

When the VULCAN is fitted in the ICE enclosure, the tamper detect switch is mounted onto the side of the enclosure in such a position that it is activated when the lid is opened. The switch is connected to the tamper connector J11. Once the tamper detect software has been invoked, any attempt to remove this assembly activates the tamper detect system. The VULCAN tamper detect circuit is implemented using the DS1302 RTC incorporating a 31 byte battery-backed non-volatile RAM. The RTC is backed up by a super capacitor giving maximum memory retention of 5 days.

The tamper detect software stores a unique pattern in the RTC RAM, which is cleared when the tamper detect system is activated. Any tamper detect activity (in either a powered or non-powered situation) cuts the power supply to the RTC and clears the contents of the DS1302 RAM and a CLOCK HALT bit within the device. This single bit is not battery-backed and is guaranteed to activate once the RTC power supply voltage drops below 2.0V. A concatenation of the CLOCK HALT bit and the contents of the RAM fully ensure tamper activity detection.

If the tamper detect circuit is not used, pins 1 and 2 of connector J11 must be connected together using a jumper, to provide a power supply to DS1302 RTC. For more information, see

J11 – Tamper jumper, page 51.

Watchdog timers

The IXP425 contains an internal WatchDog Timer (WDT), which may be used by software applications to monitor inactivity. Timeout periods can be adjusted in steps of 15ns using a 32 bit counter register up to a maximum of 64 seconds. WDT can be programmed to reset the processor or to generate interrupt when a timeout occurs. Upon reset, the watchdog timer is disabled, and remains so until enabled by the software.

For more information, please refer to either the Eurotech Operating System Technical Manual or the IXP425 Developer’s Manual.

In addition, an external WD timer (MAX6369) is available. This is a programmable watchdog timer that can be adjusted for timeout periods of 1ms, 10ms, 30ms, 100ms, 1s, 10s and 60s. The board is reset when timeout occurs. The MAX6369 WDT can be programmed using the WD setup register provided within the CPLD. The register is memory mapped and located on the expansion bus (CS5#). The WDT is disabled upon reset, and remains so until enabled by the software.

The following table shows the WD setup register bit definitions:

Bits Description

4 PCI_RST#: When zero, resets PCI bus. Set to one if not used.

3 WDI: Watchdog Input. If WDI remains either high or low for the

duration of the watchdog timeout period (t

Silicon serial number

Unique ID is provided on the VULCAN using DS2401 enhanced silicon serial number. The DS2401 consists of a factory-lasered 64 bit ROM that includes a unique 48 bit serial number, an 8 bit CRC and an 8 bit family code (01h). Data is transferred serially via the 1-Wire protocol that requires only a single data lead and a ground return. The IXP425 processor’s pin GPIO14 is used to emulate the serial 1-Wire interface to the DS2401.

VULCAN Technical Manual Detailed hardware description

Memory

The VULCAN has three types of memory fitted:

• 16 or 32 Mbytes of resident Flash disk containing Redboot (to boot the OS), the OS

and application images.

• 64 Mbytes of SDRAM for system memory.

• 256 Kbytes of SRAM.

Further details about each of these memory types are provided below:

Flash memory/silicon disk

The VULCAN supports 16 or 32 Mbytes of AMD MirrorBit Flash memory for the RedBoot bootloader, OS and application images. The memory is arranged as 8M x 16 bits (128 megabit device) or as 16M x 16 bits (256 megabit device), respectively. Since each Chip Select of the IXP425 expansion bus interface supports the Flash chips up to 8M x 16 bits (128 megabit), CS0# and CS1# lines with simple glue logic are used to support the 256 megabit Flash device (F32 VULCAN variant).

The Flash memory array is divided into equally sized symmetrical sectors that are 32Kword in size. A 128 megabit device contains 256 sectors, and a 256 megabit device contains 512 sectors.

Whenever you access the Flash memory, the Flash access LED illuminates.

SDRAM interface

VULCAN supports 64 Mbytes of SDRAM. The SDRAM is configured as 16M x 32 bits by 2 devices with 4 internal banks of 4M x 16 bits.

These are surface mount devices soldered to the board and cannot be upgraded. RedBoot automatically detects the amount of memory fitted to the board and configures the SDRAM controller accordingly. The SDRAM controller operates at a frequency of 133MHz.

Static RAM

The VULCAN has a 256KB SRAM device fitted, arranged as 256K x 8 bits.

The data in the SRAM can be made non-volatile by fitting an external battery to power the device in the event of power loss on the main VULCAN 5V supply. For more information, see

Battery backup, page 37.

10/100-BaseTX Ethernet

The IXP425 network processor provides two 10/100-BaseT interfaces with MAC and complies with both the IEEE802.3u 10/100-BaseTX and the IEEE 802.3x full-duplex flow control specifications.

A dual-port Fast Ethernet PHY Intel LXT973 is used on VULCAN, along with 10/100BaseT magnetics. Connection to the VULCAN Ethernet port is via dual RJ45 connector with speed and link/activity status LEDs. For pin assignment and connector details, see

J1 – 10/100-BaseTX Ethernet connector, page 43.

The link/activity LED is illuminated when a 10/100-BaseT link is made, and when there is Tx/Rx activity. The speed LED is illuminated when 100Mb/s speed is selected.

Uses the ‘High-speed’ UART in the IXP425, with 64 bytes-deep transmit and receive buffers. The port is buffered to RS232 levels by a 3V transceiver with ±15kV ESD protection, and supports RTS, CTS handshaking signals only. The maximum baud rate on this channel is 921.6KBaud.

COM2 – RS232 interface

Uses the ‘Console’ UART in the IXP425, with 64 bytes-deep transmit and receive buffers. The port is buffered to RS232 levels by a 3V transceiver with ±15kV ESD protection, and supports RTS, CTS handshaking signals only. The maximum baud rate on this channel is 921.6KBaud/s.

VULCAN Technical Manual Detailed hardware description

COM3 – RS232 interface

Supported on channel A of an external XR162551L UART. The port is buffered to RS232 levels by a 3V transceiver with ±15kV ESD protection, and supports full handshaking and modem control signals. The maximum baud rate on this channel is

115.2KBaud. A factory fit option configures COM2 as a TTL, so that it can be interfaced directly to an embedded modem. Please contact Eurotech for details. See

Contacting Eurotech

, page 52.

Appendix A -

COM4 – RS422/485 interface

Supported on channel B of an external XR162551L UART, and buffered to RS422/485 levels by a 5V transceiver with ±15kV ESD protection, to provide support for RS422 (default) and RS485 (jumper selectable) interfaces. The maximum baud rate on this channel is 115.2KBaud.

This channel can be configured as either RS422 or RS485. Further details about these interfaces are provided below:

• RS422

The RS422 interface provides full-duplex communication. The signals available are TX+, TX-, RX+, RX- and ground. The maximum cable length for an RS422 system is 4000ft (1200m). It supports one transmitter and up to ten receivers.

To enable RS422 operation, jumpers must be fitted in positions A2-A1 & B2-B1 on the JP1 jumper header. Jumpers in positions A4-B4 & A5-B5 must be fitted if the board is at the end of the network. See

• RS485

This is a half-duplex interface that provides combined TX and RX signals. Connector J7 pin 5 provides TX+/RX+ and pin 6 provides TX-/RX-. A ground connection is also required for this interface. The maximum cable length for this interface is the same as RS422 (4000ft), but RS485 supports up to 32 transmitters and receivers on a single network. Only one transmitter should be switched on at a time. The VULCAN uses the RTS signal to control transmission. When this signal is at logic 1 the driver is switched off and data can be received from other devices. When the RTS line is at logic 0 the driver is on. Any data transmitted from the VULCAN is automatically echoed back to the receiver. This enables the serial communications software to recognise that all data has been sent and disable the transmitter when required.

JP1 – Jumper header, page 49, for details.

Jumpers must be fitted in positions A2-A3 & B2-B3 to enable the RS485 interface. Jumpers in positions A4-B4 & A5-B5 provide parallel line termination 120 Ohm resistors and must be fitted if the VULCAN is at the end of the network.

The UART used on the VULCAN for COM4 has extended features including autoRTS control for RS485. This forces the RTS signal to change state (and therefore the direction of the RS485 transceivers) when the last bit of a character has been sent onto the wire. Please refer to the XR162551L datasheet, which is on the accompanying Development Kit CD.

Expansion interfaces

CompactFlash

A CompactFlash extension socket for full I/O mode operation is provided using the PCI bus interface of the IXP425 processor and a PCI/CardBus bridge to support Type I,II

CF+ cards. For this purpose, PCI to CardBus Bridge Texas Instruments PCI1520 device, with support for 2 CardBus slots, is used. The other slot is used to interface

with PC/104 ISA bus.

The standard 50 pin CompactFlash connector J6 is interfaced to slot A of the PCI1520 controller. This is a hot-swappable 3.3V/5V interface, controlled by the detection of CompactFlash card insertion. A PC card power-interface switch controls the power and protects against short-circuit conditions. For details, see

management

, page 39.

CF+ is a small form factor card standard. It encompasses CompactFlash (CF) Flash data storage cards, magnetic disk cards and I/O cards including serial cards, Ethernet cards, fax/modem cards, digital phone cards, USB, barcode scanners, Bluetooth,

802.11b wireless LAN, wireless digital cell phone cards, etc. For more details about CF+ standards and availability of particular CF+ peripherals, see

VULCAN Technical Manual Detailed hardware description

PC/104 interface

The PC/104 interface supports 8/16 bit ISA bus style signals. Add-on boards can be used to enhance the functionality of the main board. Eurotech has an extensive range of PC/104 compliant modules and these can be used to quickly add digital I/O, analogue I/O, serial ports, video capture devices, PC card interfaces etc. The ISA bus is based on the x86 architecture and is not normally associated with RISC processors. It is necessary to modify the standard drivers if you want them to support any third party PC/104 modules.

The PC/104 interface is implemented using a PCI bus interface of the IXP425 processor and slot B of Texas Instruments PCI1520 PCI/CardBus Bridge. Any PC/104 board that is plugged in appears in the EXCA memory or I/O window of the PCI1520 device. The PCI1520 - PCI/CardBus Bridge itself appears in the PCI memory space of the IXP425 processor.

The PC/104 bus signals are compatible with the ISA bus electrical timing definitions. DMA and bus mastering are not supported on VULCAN’s PC/104 interface. For details about PC/104 interrupts, see

Interrupt assignments, page 29.

The VULCAN provides +5V to a PC/104 add-on board via the J8 and J10 connectors. If a PC/104 add-on board requires a +12V supply, then +12V must be supplied to the VULCAN power connector J9 pin 4. If -12V or -5V are required, these must be supplied directly to the PC/104 add-on board.

All signals between the PCI1520 CardBus Controller and the PC/104 are buffered. After powering up slot B of the PCI1520 device, it is necessary to configure the MFUNC2 pin on PCI1520 as GP output (ISACTL_EN#) and set it low, to enable the PC/104 buffers.

Once MFUNC2 is set low, the PC/104 bus is enabled for access. At times when the PC/104 bus is idle, the PCI1520 slot B and the PC/104 connector are automatically isolated by the buffers transceiver output enables being driven high.

This is illustrated in the following table:

Power and power management

Power supplies

The VULCAN is designed to operate from a single +5V±5% supply (4.75V to +5.25V). The power connector J9 has a +12V connection defined, but is not required for the VULCAN under normal operation. It can be used to supply +12V to the PC/104 stack if required. For information about the power connector, see

48.

There are three on-board supply voltages derived from the +5V supply. These are +1.3V (µP core), +2.5V (Ethernet PHY core) and +3.3V.

The reset circuitry monitors +5V, +1.3V, +3.3V, +2.5V supply rails. If any of them falls below the threshold, the board is placed in reset. When the power supply rises above the threshold voltage the board comes out of reset and reboots itself.

J9 – Power connector, page

Power rail: Reset threshold:

Battery backup

An external battery (CR2032 or similar) providing +2.8V to +3.3V can be used to backup the DS1302 RTC and the SRAM. The external battery supplies power to the battery backup circuit only when there is no +5V supply to the board. A battery backup supervisor circuit is used to enable battery switchover.

To use an external battery, connect its + and - terminals across J9 pins 3 (VBAT) and 2 (GND), respectively. For connector and mating connector details, see

connector

The SRAM minimum supply voltage in data retention mode is 1.5V, and the DS1302 minimum voltage is 2V. Please check the datasheet for external battery details concerning mAh at 3V and operating temperature.

GoldCap backup

An on-board super capacitor (GoldCap 0.2F) can be used to backup the DS1302 RTC. The super capacitor supplies power to the DS1302 RTC only when there is no +5V supply to the board.

To use the super capacitor, fit the jumper JP2. See The GoldCap maximum voltage is +3.2V when fully charged and the DS1302 minimum voltage is 2V. The GoldCap provides timekeeping for a maximum of 5 days at room temperature.

VULCAN Technical Manual Power and power management

Power management

The IXP425 processor does not include any internal power management features, however the VULCAN board does allow power control to some on board peripherals. These include:

• UART.

• CompactFlash.

• Ethernet.

• USB.

• Clock generator.

These are explained in the following sections.

UART power management

COM3 and COM4 are implemented using external XR16L2551 DUART. This device supports a sleep mode with an automatic wake up. When this feature is enabled and there are no interrupts pending, the DUART enters sleep mode. The XR16L2551 stops its crystal oscillator to conserve power in the sleep mode. The part resumes normal operation when any of the following occur:

• Receive data start bit.

• Change of state on: CTS, DSR, CD, RI.

• Data is being loaded into transmit FIFO.

If the part was awakened by one of the above conditions, it returns to sleep mode automatically after the condition has cleared.

Using the PowerSave feature of XR16L2551 it is possible to reduce power consumption even further. The L2551 enters PowerSave mode when the PWRSAVE pin is logic high and the XR16L2551 is in sleep mode. This internally isolates the address, data and control signals from other bus activities. The device wakes up as a result of a receive data start bit transition or a change of logic state on any of the modem or general-purpose serial inputs: CTS#, DSR#, CD#, RI#.

Placing the XR16L2551 into low power mode can reduce the power consumption of the VULCAN by 10mW. Please refer to the XR16L2551 datasheet, on the Development Kit CD, for details about enabling the sleep and PowerSave modes.

Page 39

VULCAN Technical Manual Power and power management

MFUNC5 pin on PCI1520 device must be configured as GP output and can be used to put the XR16L2551 in PowerSave mode. RedBoot configures MFUNC5 pin as GP output. The same pin is used to power down the Ethernet PHY device.

CompactFlash power management

The TPS2210A PC CardBus power interface switch provides an integrated powermanagement solution for the PC card socket. This device allows the controlled distribution of 3.3V and 5V to the CompactFlash card slot. The current-limiting and thermal-protection features eliminate the need for fuses. The switch r limit values are set for the peak and average current requirements stated in the PC card specification.

and current-

DS(on)

Ethernet power management

The Ethernet PHY device (Intel LXT973) incorporates numerous features to maintain the lowest power possible. The device can be put into a low-power state via Register 0 of LXT973 as well as a near-zero power state with the power-down pin. When in power-down mode, the device is not capable of receiving or transmitting packets. The lowest power operation is achieved using the global power-down pin. This active high pin powers down every circuit in the device, including all clocks.

Individual ports can be powered down using the control register bit 0.11 of LXT973 (software power-down). This bit powers down a significant portion of the port, but clocks to the register section remain active. This allows the management interface to remain active during register power-down.

MFUNC5 pin on the PCI1520 device should be configured as GP output and can be used to control the power-down pin of Ethernet PHY. The same pin is used to place XR16L2551 DUART in PowerSave mode. Placing the LXT973 into near-zero power state can reduce the power consumption of the VULCAN by 500mW. Please refer to the LXT973 datasheet, on the Development Kit CD, for information about power management.

VULCAN Technical Manual Power and power management

USB power management

A USB power control switch controls the power and protects against short-circuit and overcurrent conditions.

If the USB voltage VBUSx is short-circuited, or more than 500mA is drawn from any VBUSx supply, the switch turns off the power supply and protects the device and board automatically. The VBUSx power supplies are derived from the VULCAN +5V supply.

The ISP1561 USB host controller provides an advanced power management capabilities interface that is compliant with PCI bus Power Management Interface Specification, Rev. 1.1. Power is controlled and managed by the interaction between drivers and PCI registers. Please refer to the ISP1561 datasheet on the Development Kit CD for more information about power management.

The ISP1561 USB Host Controller supports four USB ports. Two of the ports can be disabled if not used by setting the SEL2PORTS pin high. MFUNC4 pin on the PCI1520 device should be configured as GP output and can be used to control the SEL2PORTS pin of the ISP1561 controller. Disabling two of the ports can reduce the power consumption of the VULCAN by up to 165mW.

MFUNC4 (SEL2PORTS) ISP1561 Operation Status

0 All ports enabled

1 Ports 3,4 disabled

Clock generator power management

Two clock generator ICs can be placed in low power mode by shutting down the clock outputs in case the corresponding interfaces are not used. The following clocks are affected:

• XR16L2551 DUART 1.8432MHZ clock.

• Ethernet PHY 25MHz clock.

• PC/104 8MHz and 14MHz clocks.

MFUNC1 pin on the PCI1520 device should be configured as GP output and can be used to control the SHUTDOWN# pin of clock generator IC’s. This can reduce the power consumption of the VULCAN by up to 130mW.
