ATM to Stereo Module for the HAN

Download PostScript version here.

Overview

This module converts between standard Audio HiFi formats
\(analogue and SP-DIF digital\) and ATM 25. The device
has two modes: local loop and duplex. In local loop, the
audio output is the same as the input and in duplex the audio
out is the ATM received data. Mode selection is via a control
cell on VCI=49 or by IR. IR is sent and received on a separate
ATM VC.

Audio Specifications

Sample precision: 16 bit stereo
Sample rate: 44.1 ksps
Cell rate: 3675 cells per second.

The Warren Project

This module is an experimental
hardware device being developed at the University
of Cambridge Computer Laboratory as part of the
Warren Project. The Warren project is funded by Virata
and has the aim of developing a set of low-cost ATM devices,
including an ATM switch.
