43.2.1. Functional Description

The Avalon® -ST multiplexer takes data from a number of input data interfaces, and multiplexes the data onto a single output interface. The multiplexer includes a simple, round-robin scheduler that selects from the next input interface that has data. Each input interface has the same width as the output interface, so that all other input interfaces are backpressured when the multiplexer is carrying data from a different input interface.

The multiplexer includes an optional channel signal that enables each input interface to carry channelized data. When the channel signal is present on input interfaces, the multiplexer adds log2 (num_input_interfaces) bits to make the output channel signal, such that the output channel signal has all of the bits of the input channel plus the bits required to indicate which input interface each cycle of data is from. These bits are appended to either the most or least significant bits of the output channel signal as specified in the Platform Designer MegaWizard interface.

Figure 148. Multiplexer

The internal scheduler considers one input interface at a time, selecting it for transfer. Once an input interface has been selected, data from that input interface is sent until one of the following scenarios occurs:

  • The specified number of cycles have elapsed.
  • The input interface has no more data to send and valid is deasserted on a ready cycle.
  • When packets are supported, endofpacket is asserted.

Input Interfaces

Each input interface is an Avalon® -ST data interface that optionally supports packets. The input interfaces are identical; they have the same symbol and data widths, error widths, and channel widths.

Output Interface

The output interface carries the multiplexed data stream with data from all of the inputs. The symbol, data, and error widths are the same as the input interfaces. The width of the channel signal is the same as the input interfaces, with the addition of the bits needed to indicate the input each datum was from.
