PISCATAWAY, N.J., Sept. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Digital Intermediate Frequency Interoperability (DIFI) Consortium today announced the release of version 1.2.0 of the DIFI Standard, IEEE-ISTO Std 4900-2021: Digital IF Interoperability Standard, which delivers a significant improvement in the areas of sync and flow control over the previous version published in August 2022.
Version 1.2.0 adds a standard flow control mechanism, which frees up systems designers from proprietary data flow for buffer management and improves timing synchronization.
These changes were enabled by a new Information Class (0x0002) and new Packet Classes 0x0002, 0x0003, 0x0005 and 0x0006.
In addition, the documentation for version 1.2.0 has been restructured for clarity and expanded with a table of deviations from VITA49.2, on which the original DIFI standard was based.
