Figure 1.8: CHAMP-AV8 Serial Port Implementation
Access to the two dual-mode EIA-232/422 transceivers are multiplexed by the FPGA between
DIO[16] and UART A0 (also between DIO[17] and UART B0). This allows a DIO port to take
control of a EIA-422 differential pair, thus forming a DDIO (Differential DIO) port. Figure 1.9,
“CHAMP-AV8 Serial Port Detail,” on page 1-19 illustrates how the control registers are used to
control switching between the DIO registers, UART ports, and the EIA-232/422 dual-mode
transceiver.
