3.2. Asynchronous Mode

In Asynchronous mode, the DIB uses the hard TDM provided by the IP.

The Asynchronous mode includes the following features:

  • Use this mode when 1:1, 2:1, or 4:1 TDM multiplexing is required and no soft TDM logic is required.
  • System clock is not used.
    • The DIB clock and DUT clock have a synchronous relationship.
    • You may use your own asynchronous DUT clock, but the dut_clk input to a DIB instance must be connected to a clock of the ratio selected in the parameter editor.
  • The DIB subsystem TDM block always ensures that all RX ports (four ports from 4:1 TDM, two ports from 2:1 TDM, or single port from 1:1 TDM) are available to be sampled in the next system clock (or DUT clock) on the RX side.
    • The DIB TDM multiplexer halts the multiplexer select at the last data input until all data are sampled at the RX system clock.
    • When the data sampling is complete, the multiplexer select rolls back to the initial location for a new phase of data on the TX side.
  • You can connect the DIB clock to the DUT flip flops only in an asynchronous manner.
