Hi, Is anyone out there designing peripherals to talk to HSC? HSC is a proposed ANSI standard (X3T9.3). For those that are unfamiliar: HSC (High Speed Communications) is a point to point data channel that has a 100Mbyte/S or 200Mbyte/S transfer rate depending on whether you use the 32 or 64 bit data width. It uses one ecl 100 pin differential D-shell connector per 32 bits of width. HSC is unidirectional, and 2 channels must be used to make a full duplex connection. HSC is based on a 25MHZ (40ns) clock, and transfers one 64/32 bit word per clock once a connection is established. HSC is for data only, and there is no address lines.

Is anyone making things to talk to HSC??? Yes.
