Figure14.2: Block Diagram of the SPB-E
The SPB(-E) is controlled by the ELCB, which is the BSMS controller/coordinator. The ELCB
and the SPB(-E) are connected via the BSMS backplane SSRB (Synchronous Serial Rack
Bus).
In normal configuration the SPB(-E) uses a common 10 MHz clock that is distributed by the
ELCB (this clock is typically generated by the AV4 reference board) for oscillator
synchronization. If not available, the system is running with the on-board crystal frequency.
