7 SIF Module Programming and Debug Interface
SIF is a synchronous serial interface developed by Cambridge Consultants Ltd. It is the primary programming
and debug interface of the EM260. The SIF module allows external devices to read and write memory-mapped
registers in real-time without changing the functionality or timing of the XAP2b core. See the application note
PCB Design with an EM260 (120-5047-000) for the PCB-level design details regarding the implementation of the
SIF interface.
The EM260 pins involved in the SIF Interface:
•
•
•
•
•
In addition, the VDD_PADS and Ground Net are required for external voltage translation and buffering of the
SIF Signals.
The SIF interface provides the following:
•
•
In order to achieve the deep sleep currents specified in Table 5, a pull-down resistor must be connected to
the SIF_MOSI pin. In addition, Ember recommends a pull-up resistor to be placed on the nSIF_LOAD pin in
order to prevent noise from coupling onto the signal. Both of these recommendations are documented within
the EM260 Reference designs.
When developing application-specific manufacturing test procedures, Ember recommends the designer refer
to Manufacturing Test Guidelines (120-5016-000). This document provides more detail regarding importance
of designing the proper SIF interface as well as timing of the SIF.
