PTCD
The Packet Telecommand Decoder (PTCD) IP core is a synthesizable VHDL model of the MA28140 chip from GEC-Plessey Semiconductors.
Overview
The PTCD IP core implements a complete CCSDS packet telecommand decoder,connected to the AMBA AHB and APB on-chip buses. The internal architecture of the PTCD IP is illustrated in the following diagram.
The PTCD deals with the Coding Layer, the Transfer Layer, the Authentication Layer, the Segmentation Layer and a part of the Packetisation Layer of the CCSDS protocol.
The underlying TM/TC functionality is described in detail in the data sheet of the MA28140 from GEC-Plessey Semiconductors with minor modifications.
