Notes.
- SHB stands for Sundance High-speed Bus.
- RSL stands for Rocket Serial Link.
- Comport denotes an 8-bit communication port following the TI C4x standards.
- SMT8101 is a PCI system to be plugged in a PC. The only software
requirement is to have 3L Diamond server installed.
Precautions
In order to guarantee that Sundance’s boards function correctly and to protect the
module from damage, the following precautions should be taken:
- They are static sensitive products and should be handled accordingly.
Always place the modules in a static protective bag during storage and
transition.
- When operated in a closed environment make sure that the heat
generated by the system is extracted e.g. a fan extracting heat or blowing
cool air. Sundance recommends and uses PAPST 12-Volt fans (Series
8300) producing an air flow of 54 cubic meters per hour (equivalent to 31.8
CFM). Fans are placed so they blow across the PCI bus.

Outline description.
The SMT8101 is PCI based and stands as an evaluation/development platform for
Multi-carrier / Multi-standard cellular systems, High Direct-IF infrastructures, Test
Equipment, etc
This system is built around 4 main boards: C64xx-based module (
combined with a dual-channel high-speed ADC module (
channel high-speed DAC (
(
SMT310Q).
SMT381-VP), all plugged on a PCI carrier board
SMT391-VP) and a dual-
SMT395-VP)
Main Modules description.
Three modules are described below. For more details, please refer to
