Preparing the Data, Signal and Power Interface
The interface provides connections to some or all of the following:
-
Communication ports, including COM, Ethernet, USB and CAN
-
Input and output timing strobes
-
Power input
-
RF signal input
-
Optional external frequency reference
For all OEM7 receiver cards, the power, status and data inputs and outputs are accessed from the interface connector. The interface therefore, must be designed to mate with this connector.
Many of the OEM7 communication and I/O signals are provided at LVCMOS levels and may need interface circuits to communicate with other devices. See Receiver Card Interface Examples for examples of these interface circuits.
