24. ENG3640 Review and Exam Question24 Bus Protocols  Protocol refers to the set of rules agreed upon by both the bus master and bus slave  Synchronous bus ­ transfers occur in relation to successive edges of a clock  Asynchronous bus ­ transfers bear no particular timing relationship  Semi ­ synchronous bus ­ Operations/control initiate asynchronously, but data transfer occurs synchronously CPU Device 1Device 2Device 3 Bus

25. ENG3640 Review and Exam Question 25 ENG3640 Fall 200925 Transmission Line Models  When can the R and G terms be ignored in the Z 0 ? w  As w increases, the impact of R and G decreases. w  When the frequency increases above 100 kHz, the terms multiplied by w start to dominate.

26. ENG3640 Review and Exam Question26 Reflections on the Bus  To reduce reflections, the ends of a transmission line should be terminated by connecting a resistor equal to Z 0 across the line  Connecting a resistor between the bus and V CC will pullup the lower logic level and reduce noise immunity  Classic Solution: connect two resistors to the bus one to the ground and one to V CC  R1//R2 = Z 0 RTRT VTVT R T = R1//R2 = Z 0 Bus

28. ENG3640 Review and Exam Question28ENG3640 Fall 200928 What Should Designer do?  Practically there are several ways to mitigate the negative impact of reflections: 1. Wait long enough after each signal transition for the reflection on the line to die out ( OK for low speed but not high speed systems) 2. Decrease the frequency of the system so that reflections reach steady state before another signal is driven onto the line (Low Speed Sys!) 3. Shorten the Bus or (PCB trace) so that reflections will reach steady state in a shorter time (not practical or sometimes impossible!) 4. Terminate the transmission line with an impedance equal to the characteristic impedance of the line: Use a matched termination at far end. Thereby producing no reflections on the line Use a matched termination at source end absorbing the wave reflected from the far end.
