IP Cores Overview
SITAEL AEROSPACE does not have an IP catalogue, but its internal
microelectronics library includes a certain number of IPs, that can be made
available to customers .
Besides a licence agreement, the IP Core procurement includes some initial
work needed to prepare documentation and test benches.
Deliverables:
o Source Code (VHDL or synthesized VHDL)
o Simulation/synthesis/compilation scripts
o Testbench
o Documentation (User Manual/Datasheet)
SITAEL AEROSPACE is able to provide an extensive maintenance and support
service to its customers, in order to:
o Solve eventual problem in the IP core VHDL or any other software distributed with the
IP core database found during the IP core test/usage activities
o Provide support to customers in the configuration and synthesis of the IP Core in the
specific Application.

Some Digital IPs in our internal library
PCI Master/Slave PCI IP core with DMA access
PCI light Slave access on one side, memory-like access on the other side
AMBA to PCI Bridge joining a PCI bus with an AMBA AHB bus.
I2C Fully supports 8-bit, bi-directional, serial data transfers. Master/Slave Modes. True multi-master bus operation capability including collision detection and arbitration to prevent data corruption.
Floating Point Unit IEEE 754 single precision floating point including Sum, Compare, Multiply, Divide, Floating Point to/from Integer conversion, unary operators negation and absolute value.
Am-CAN 80C51 Microcontroller with internal RAM and SFR, Interrupt Controller, UART Controller, LIN Controller, 3PWMs/Timers, General Purpose I/Os, In Circuit Emulator and CAN Controller 2.0B with 16 Mboxes (all in/out configurable).
UART/LIN Able to transmit and receive (in full-duplex mode) both using UART or LIN protocol. LIN master or slave. TX/RX clocks generation using sytem clock or external clock.
RMAP Receiver Designed to operate with different Space Wire codecs into a larger SpW RMAP module.
13
Digital IPs under development
CANOpen Complete CAN node able to handle both low level communication aspects and the higher level Object dictionary memory management aspects.
V8uC SPARC V8 microcontroller IP Core for low-end space applications based on ESA LEON2FT SPARC V8 based on SPARC V8 architecture, powerful replacement for 80C51 microcontrollers.
DLUP Improved Memory Module IP Core to mitigate the radiation effects on a COTS based mass memory modules, making use of digital techniques

Macro-Cells for Atmel FPGAs
Synthesized version of some of our internal IPs
ATMEL already provided to SITAEL an ATF280E evaluation Kit
Activities will start soon:
o Code porting on ATF280 technology and synthesis script production
o Test bench development and simulation instruction for auto-test
o Core documentation with User Manual / Datasheet productions (a single volume shall
act as user manual and datasheet)
With SITAEL support, Atmel will be in charge of ATF280 hard-macro
development starting from synthesized VHDL provided by SITAEL
For SITAEL VHDL code under ESA license restrictions Atmel will negotiate with
ESA for their commercialization as Hard Macro only
Macro-cells will be distributed by Atmel

PCI Cores
PCI:
o Fully slave/master, DMA access
o High level VHDL core
o ~ 5% of RTAX2000 occupation
o Up to 33MHz/32bit
PCI Light:
o ~ 500 VHDL rows
o ~ 265 cells on RTAX2000
o used in a Compact PCI board
o slave access on one side, memory-like access on the other side
AMBA to PCI
o In the PCI to AHB direction the bridge works transparently to the user. Any access
on the PCI bus is translated in the correspondent AMBA transaction. During these
operations, the peripheral unit plays as Slave in the PCI bus and as Master on the
AHB bus.
o In the AHB to PCI direction any data transfer has to utilize the AMBA-PCI DMA
controller to initiate a transaction on the PCI BUS. During these operations both
PCI and AHB bridge sides work as masters on the correspondent busses.
