Project Organization & Some History Concerns for the long-term availability of ALSTOM’s components; WorldFIP Taskforce set up. (2006) Taskforce conclusions: No technological alternative & in-sourcing of WorldFIP technology. (2007) ALSTOM-CERN contract with CERN purchasing ALSTOM’s design information. (2008) Project divided in different Work Packages: (2009) WP1: microFIP code preliminary interpretation (B. Todd & E. van der Bij) WP2: project management documentation for the in-sourcing (E. van der Bij) WP3: functional specifications for microFIP’s replacement (E. van der Bij) WP4: rewrite & extend microFIP VHDL code WP5: write new code (P. Alvarez & E. Gousiou) WP6: test bench creation (G. Penacoba) WP7: design of a board for functional and radiation tests (HLP) WP8: Radiation tests (CERN RadWG & E. Gousiou)

Features: Communication in 3 speeds: 31.25kb/s, 1Mb/s, 2.5Mb/s. Independent memories (124 bytes each) for consumed and produced data. nanoFIP status byte available to the User and the Master.
Main Specs Updates Stand-alone mode accepts broadcast variables. Added validation of the PDU_TYPE and Length bytes (on top of the FCS) at the reception of a consumed variable for the activation of the signals VAR1_RDY or VAR2_RDY. User informed of the nanoFIP status byte (4 pins added to the pinout) User consumed variable access error User produced variable access error Received PDU_TYPE byte or Length byte error Received FCS error Need for a Power On Reset before operation (1 pin added to the pinout). Explanations & clarifications.
