FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CORE: Core module interconnects all the sub-modules in the MIPI RFFE Master IP. Ports of core module are the top level ports for the MIPI RFFE Master IP.

START: Start module detects the Sequence Start Condition (SSC) on the RFFE bus. Start detect signal from this module triggers the non-bom FSM to collect and respond to transcations.

PRESCALER: Prescaler module is used to divide the system clock based on the given prescaler value to derive the serial clock (SCL) input for RFFE.

CSR: CSR module has all the control and status registers. The contents of the registers are decoded and assigned to its respective output ports based on its functionality.

SFSM: This sfsm works when master receives the commands from the another BOM master.

ARB(Arbiter): Provides priority based access to the CSR module for the two FSM modules.

DRIVE: Driver module is responsible for driving any data on RFFE bus from RTL Master.When RTL Master is a BOM,it needs to drive the data from FSM module in “i_pre_com_scl” clock in SDA line.When the RTL master is a non BOM device,it needs to drive the data from SFSM module in “i_scl” clock in SDA line.

FSM: In RFFE Master core, FSM module is responsible for driving commands on to the RFFE bus after Master won the arbitration and it reads required the command and data from CSR Block. When FSM samples the read data from other devices, it writes the received data into CSR Block.
