V.21 Data Pump Software for Texas TMS320C54x/C55x & C2xx/C5x DSPs

This software implements the ITU Data Modem function V.21, which provides full-duplex data transmission at rates of up to 300b/s over the telephone network. Duplex channel separation is achieved by band splitting. The software is in the form of two callable subroutines, one for initialisation and one for per-sample processing of input/output samples and data bits. The user is responsible for interfacing sample and data input & output to hardware. Blocks of data and samples can be processed by making multiple sub-routine calls. The ‘C54xC55x code version is re-entrant to facilitate the implementation of multiple modems on a single DSP. A comprehensive user's guide is provided with the code. Test results are available.

Interfaces: at the sample interface, the code can operate at 9.6kHz or 8.0kHz sample rates. At the data interface, operation can either be in Asynchronous or in Synchronous mode. In Asynchronous mode, data is transferred in bit-blocks on a per-character basis; start & stop bits are auto-inserted/detected. In Synchronous mode, data is transferred on a per-bit basis. Clock recovery on bit transitions is provided in the receiver. In both cases, the nominal clock used is 300Hz. At the control interface, one 16-bit control word sequences operations and sets parameters, and one diagnostic word conveys data transfer status.

Performance:

• SNR figure for 10^-6 error rate at 300b/s: 5.0dB - Flat Channel

DSP Load - C54x/C55x version:

• MIPS: 3.3 (8.0kHz sampling) or 3.9 (9.6kHz sampling)

• Data memory: 60 words
