LVDS Tunneling Protocol and Interface Reference Design

Multiple Solution Compliant with DC-SCM and Aggregate Multiple Data Channel

The DC-SCM 2.0 LTPI Reference Design provides multiple solution templates that use the current LVDS Tunneling Protocol Interface (LTPI) IP. The IP is compliant with Datacenter-ready Secure Control Module (DC-SCM) 2.0 LTPI specifications with a standardized Datacenter-ready Secure Control Interface (DC-SCI). This IP aggregates multiple data channels such as I2C, GPIO, and UART to add more flexibility to a customer’s system and board design.

One of the significant changes in the DC-SCM 2.0 specification is the introduction of Low-voltage differential signaling Tunneling Protocol & Interface (LTPI). The LTPI addresses shortcomings of the Serial GPIO interface used in DC-SCM 1.0.

Support I2C Interface – For I2C Interface, each can be configured as Controller or Target. It can also support multi-slave on the controller side.

Features

  • Compliant with DC-SCM Protocol Specifications 2.0 (LTPI version 1.4.3)
  • Supports Link initialization, discovery, and negotiation
  • Supports Multi-channel Serial Interface and LVDS
  • Supports up to five channels aggregation/disaggregation in total
  • Supports AMBA 3 APB Protocol version 1.0 for register access of the soft IP and data channel
