Principle of Operation
DT5 provides 16 independent, isolated, programmable channels that either can be used for input voltage measurements (+/-60 V), or as a bidirectional current switch (up to 625 mA per channel). With the switch closed,both the current through the switch and the voltage across the switch can be monitored. These modules include diode clamping on each channel. Clamping is useful for inductive loads, such as relays and short circuit protection. The DT5 Mode Select register provides 13 Mode settings. Each channel can be set to any of the different input or output modes. All settings provide BIT fault detection, which enables flagging of non-compliant outputs or inconsistent input readings between dual input measurements. All 16 channels are galvanically isolated from each other and from system ground. Each channel’s two-wire connection can function as an isolated voltage input or as an isolated bidirectional switch. When programmed to function as a bidirectional switch, a channel can control valves mechanical relays, indicators, etc. without concern about grounding. This module provides an automatic background built-in-test (BIT) for each channel. The BIT functions are always enabled and continually check that each channel is functioning properly. Standard input operation is used for voltage sensing and measures both AC and DC input voltages. When operating as a switch, measurements for both voltage across and current through the switch closure are available. Current and Voltage measurements are available as both instantaneous and averaged (RMS). Four input voltage threshold levels (Maximum High, Upper, Lower, Minimum Low) are programmed to user defined high and low voltage levels. All four of the threshold levels must be set for each Input or Output channel. Threshold crossing may be programmed to generated interrupts on a change of state. The module design utilizes state of the art galvanic isolation that is superior to alternatives such as optocoupler devices. The galvanic isolation eliminates typical optocoupler design concerns such as uncertain current transfer ratios, nonlinear transfer functions and temperature/lifetime degradation effects.
Input/Switch Interface
Each channel contains a both an isolated differential amplifier and a dual N-Channel MOSFET, configured as isolated Solid-State Relay (SSR). The SSR is energized, so both AC and DC current can flow through the channels I/O pins. The MOSFET presents a low ~.5 Ω on impedance. The module contains circuitry to measure the current through the SSR and the voltage present on the I/O pins.
Open Circuit Detection
Each of the 16 channels can be set to indicate an open circuit by setting the Open Circuit Detection register for the channel to 1. A voltage reading of 3.3 V indicates that the channel is open. Default (normal operation) is 0 V.Set the Maximum High Threshold register, for each channel, to this value to generate an interrupt using the Maximum High Threshold Interrupt Enable register.

Debounce Time
Function: Sets the Debounce time (LSB= 10 μs; 32-bit resolution) for each channel.
Type: binary word (32-bit)
Data Range: 0x 0000 0000 to 0x FFFF FFFF
Read/Write: R/W
Initialized Value: 0
Operational Settings: The Debounce register, when programmed for a non-zero value, is used with channels programmed as input to “filter” or “ignore” expected application spurious initial transitions. Enter required debounce time into appropriate channel registers. LSB weight is 10 µs/bit (register may be programmed from 0x00000000 (debounce filter inactive) through a maximum of 0xFFFFFFFF (2^32 * 10µs). (full scale w/ 10 µs resolution). Once a signal level is a logic voltage level period longer than the debounce time (Logic High and Logic Low), a logic transition is validated. Signal pulse widths less than programmed debounce time are filtered. Once valid, the transition status register flag is set for the channel and the output logic changes state. Enter a value of 0 to disable debounce filtering. Debounce defaults to 0000h upon reset.
Voltage Reading (Sampled)
Function: Reads actual output voltage at I/O pin per individual channel.
Type: binary word (32-bit)

Threshold Programming
Four threshold levels: Maximum High, Upper, Lower, Minimum Low offer maximum user flexibility. All four threshold levels must be programmed. For input or output, the threshold levels will define the logic states. For proper operation, the threshold values should be programmed such that:
Maximum High Threshold > Upper Threshold > Lower Threshold > Minimum Low Threshold
Program Upper and Lower Thresholds, keeping the 0.25 V min. differential in mind, and then add debounce time as required. When the input signal exceeds the Upper Threshold, a logic high 1 is maintained until the input signal falls below the Lower Threshold. Conversely, when the input signal falls below the Lower Threshold, a logic low 0 is maintained until the input signal rises above the Upper Threshold.
Maximum High Threshold
Function: Sets the maximum high threshold value. Programmable per channel from -60 to +60 Vrms, with binary 10-bit word resolution (LSB=100 mv).
Type: binary word (32-bit)
Data Range: 0x FFFF FDA8 to 0x 0000 0258 (usable range)
Read/Write: R/W
Initialized Value: 0x64
Operational Settings: Assumes that the programmed level is the minimum voltage used to indicate a Max. High Threshold. If a signal is greater than the Maximum High Threshold value, a flag is set in the Maximum High Threshold register. The Maximum High Threshold register may be used to monitor any type of high signal voltage condition or threshold such as a “Short to +V” as it applies to input measurement as well as contact sensing applications.

The Minimum Low Threshold register may be used to monitor any type of low signal voltage condition or threshold such as a “Short to Ground” as it applies to input measurement as well as contact sensing applications.

Status and Interrupt Registers
The registers may be set for any or all channels and will latch if a transition is detected on a channel or channels. Each channel(s) will remain latched until the channel is cleared. Multiple channels may be cleared simultaneously, if desired. Each channel bit in the register is polled for a read status. Any subsequent channel(s) transition, if detected, will propagate through to be read (rolling-latch). Once the status register has been read, the act of writing a 1 back to the applicable status register to any specific bit (channel) location (bit mapped per channel), will “clear” the bit (set the bit to 0) if the actual interruptible event condition has cleared. If the interruptible condition “event” is still persistent while clearing, this may retrigger the interrupt. There is a corresponding Interrupt Enable and vector associated with each “Latched” Status. Each status type may be “polled” (at any time), or is “interruptible” when interrupts are enabled and the associated Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) vectors are programmed accordingly. When programmed for “interruptible” status, interrupts are typically generated and flagged with the programmed vector available as data. The host or single board computer (SBC) typically services the interrupt by a general or specific ISR, which reads the (typically) unique programmed vector (identifier of which status generated the interrupt), reads the associated status register to determine which channel in the status register was “flagged” and then “clears” the status register. This essentially resets the interrupt mechanism, which is now ready to be triggered by the next status register detected event “flag”. “Latched Status” will trigger on either “sense on edge” or “sense on level” based on the settings of the associated Set Edge/Level Interrupt register. Sense on “edge” requires a change from low to high state to trigger the status detection, while sense on “level” is independent of the previous state. Unless otherwise specified, all status or fault indications are bit set per channel.
BIT Dynamic Status
Function: BIT Dynamic Status is set when a redundant measurement is inconsistent with the input measurement level detected.
Type: binary word (32-bit)

Enhanced Functionality
Input Modes
There are 10 Input modes. All input modes may be configured with debounce capability. Debounce capability allows configurable filtering of noisy signals and transients. Each channel may be set to an individual debounce time value. When a debounce time is set to a non-zero value, the signal reading after a transition must remain at the same level for the debounce interval before it is propagated through, otherwise it is rejected. All Input Modes (1-10) FIFO buffers are 1024 words deep.
Mode 0 – No Enhancement Mode: Behaves the same as a standard functionality only module.
Mode 1 – High Time Pulse Measurement (FIFO Buffer): Timing measurements record the time interval (in 10 µs ticks) from a pair of transitions.
Mode 2 – Low Time Pulse Measurement (FIFO Buffer): Timing measurements record the time interval (in 10 µs ticks) from a pair of transitions.
Mode 3 – Transition Timestamp of All Rising Edges (FIFO Buffer): Rising Edge time stamps from 100 kHz, 32-bit counter will be sequentially available and stored in the FIFO buffer.
Note: In this example, four counter values at the rising edge transitions are recorded to the FIFO: 0x344321, 0x344999, 0x345011, 0x345689, etc. Delta of 0x678 = 1656 counts, or 16.56 ms interval between pulses.
Mode 4 – Transition Timestamp of All Falling Edges (FIFO Buffer): Falling Edge time stamps from 100 kHz, 32-bit counter will be sequentially available and stored in the FIFO buffer.
Mode 5 – Transition Timestamp of All Edges (FIFO Buffer): Rising and Falling Edge time stamps from 100 kHz, 32-bit counter will be sequentially available and stored in the FIFO buffer.
Note: In this example, all edges time stamp. Four counter values at the transitions are recorded to the FIFO: 0x344321, 0x344999, 0x345011, 0x345689, etc. Delta of 0x33C = 828 counts, or 8.28 ms interval between pulses.
Mode 6 – Rising Edge Transition Counter: When selected, the rising edge count will be available from the count register at the FIFO read address. The counter is reset via user command. 32-bit count range to 232.
Mode 7 – Falling Edge Transition Counter: When selected, falling edge count will be available from the count register at the FIFO read address. The counter is reset via user command. 32-bit count range to 232
Mode 8 – Rising and Falling Edge Transition Counter: When selected, cumulative edge counts will be available from the count register at the FIFO read address. The counter is reset via user command. 32-bit count range to 232.
Mode 9 - Period Measurement: Timing measurements record the intervals from pulse-to-pulse in 10 µs ticks (delta timestamp).
Note: In Period Measurement mode, the same three pulse-to-pulse interval values as calculated in the timestamp measurement would be directly recorded to the FIFO.
Mode 10 - Frequency Measurement: Enables frequency measurement, which will be available and stored in the FIFO buffer. Frequency measurement correlates to/utilizes a programmable time interval, which is programmed in the Period register. Direct readout of frequency is available when the interval is set to one second.
Output Modes
There are three Output modes, which include a standard output mode, two PWM outputs and a Pattern Generator Output mode.
Mode 32 (0x20) – PWM Continuous Output Mode: In the sample shown below, each of the 24 channels has been set up with incrementing periods and pulse widths, running in continuous mode. Timing is asynchronous to each channel, but is very precise and with low jitter. In this mode, the configured PWM output is enabled and disabled with the Start Output/Measure Enable register.
Mode 33 (0x21) - PWM Burst: Repeats the pulse based on programmed Period and Pulse Width “n” times as programmed in the Number of Cycles register.
Mode 34 (0x22) – Pattern Generator Output: Outputs all mode selected channels based on the pattern programmed in the Pattern RAM register. The output rate is set in the Pattern RAM Period register. The output is a cyclic transmission of a 216 deep X 24 bit pattern array at configurable pattern intervals with 10 µs resolution. Pattern output may be stopped and resumed at the same point in the cycle. The following shows an arbitrary output of patterns as displayed on 24 channels of a logic analyzer. Each vertical column represents one 24-bit pattern of the 216 pattern array.
Mode Select
Function: This register provides selection of 13 different modes: Inputs 1-10; Outputs 32-34. See the following table for a brief description of each mode.
Type: binary word (32-bit)
Data Range: 1-10; 32-34
Read/Write: R/W
Initialized Value: 0
Operational Settings: Modes 0 through 10, 32, 33 and 34 are selectable for each channel. Writing a 0 will return that channel to normal operation.

Write a 1 to output the number of pulses written in the Number of Cycles register with the period and pulse width written in the Period and Pulse Width registers. Once the programmed number of pulses that was written to the register has been outputted, a 0 will be written back to the register for the channel that was enabled (self-clearing). |
|||
34 |
0x22 |
Output pattern data held in RAM: Outputs all mode selected channel(s) based on the pattern programmed in RAM. The output rate is set in the Pattern RAM Period register. The Pattern RAM Start Address register will determine where the pattern RAM output will begin when enabled. The Pattern RAM End Address register will determine where the pattern RAM output will end when enabled. After the pattern is outputted, it will loop back to the start address. Writing a 0x1 to the control register will loop the pattern continuously. While looping continuously, a 0x0 can be written to stop the output and bring the pattern back to the start address or a 0x5 can be written to pause the output wherever it may be in the pattern. Writing a 0x1 when the pattern is paused will resume the pattern at the same spot. Writing a 0x3 to the control register will burst the pattern from the start address to the end address for N number of times. N is determined by the value written in the Pattern RAM Period register. The Pattern RAM Period register determines how long the each address data will be output for. In other words, it is the time it takes for the output to change to the next address. |
Notes:
Input |
|
Output |
|
1 |
Mode(s) 1-10: FIFO storage occurs at 10 µs intervals (unless otherwise specified) |
2 |
Mode(s) 7- 9: Applies to measurement “count” edges – the “count” is provided/updated at 8ns intervals in the first element of the FIFO only (no FIFO ‘storage” – first element is dynamically updated). |
3 |
Mode 10 (Measure frequency): In this mode, the captured FIFO data is essentially the number of transitions measured within a given user specified time interval (specified/programmed in the Pulse Width register). From this, the user calculates frequency by [FIFO Data (# of transitions) / Pulse Width], or, simply program the Pulse Width register to a time interval of 1 second, which then FIFO Data (# of transitions) directly correlates to measured frequency (Hz). |

PWM Operations/Functions
Unless otherwise specified, PWM operations and functions apply to channels when the Mode Select register is set for Modes 32 & 33.
Period
The Period register works in conjunction with the Pulse Width, Output Select, Number of Cycles and Start Output/Measure Enable registers to configure PWM output. See Configuring PWM Output figure below. It is also used for Period and Frequency measurement.
Configuring PWM Output
Function: When the Mode Select register is programmed for PWM output modes (Modes 32 & 33), the PWM Period is based on the programmed value set in this register.
Type: binary word (32-bit)
Data Range: 0x0000 0002 to 0xFFFF FFFE
Read/Write: R/W
Initialized Value: 0
Operational Settings: Mode Select register is set to Mode 32 or 33, the Period register is used to program the desired channel PWM output pulse period. Enter the desired PWM pulse period (LSB=@ 10 µs; valid entries are: 16 ns to 34.36 sec.).
Note: Programmed PWM Period must be greater than the value set in the Pulse Width register.
Pulse Width
Function: When the Mode Select register is programmed for PWM output modes (Modes 32 & 33), the Pulse Width register is used to program the desired channel(s) PWM Pulse Width “ON” time. See Configuring PWM Output figure. When the Mode Select register is programmed for frequency measurement (Mode 10), the Pulse Width register is used to program the Timebase for the desired channel(s).
Type: binary word (32-bit)
Data Range: 0x0000 0001 to 0xFFFF FFFE
Read/Write: R/W
Initialized Value: 0

Notes: Write the following values to the register to perform each function.
Bit Function
D0 Pattern Looping: This bit will enable or disable continuous pattern looping. Write 0x1 to enable and 0x0 to disable the pattern.
D1 Burst Mode: Write 0x3 will burst the pattern from the start address to the end address for N number of times. N is determined by the value written in the Pattern RAM Number of Cycles register.
D2 Pause: Write 0x5 to pause the pattern when enabled.
D3 Rising Edge External Trigger Enable: Uses Channel 1 as the input. Write 0xA to enable pattern burst on a rising edge.
D4 Falling Edge External Trigger Enable: Uses Channel 1 as the input. Write 0x12 to enable pattern burst on a falling edge.
Output Polarity
Function: When the Mode Select register is programmed for PWM output modes (Modes 32 & 33), the Output Polarity programs the PWM Pulse Period to start either High (0) or Low (1).
Type: binary word (32-bit)
Data Range: 0x0000 0000 to 0x0000 FFFF
Read/Write: R/W
Initialized Value: 0 Operational Settings: Applies to Modes 32 and 33. The Output Polarity register is used to program the start “level” (or state) of the PWM Pulse Period. The default is ON (High), which is set when the PWM Polarity bit is 0. The PWM start level channel(s) output will be High for the initial start of the period. See Configuring PWM Output figure. The time is defined by the Period and Pulse Width registers. The remainder of the PWM Period time will be “low” defined by the [PWM Period - PWM Pulse Width]. If the PWM Polarity bit is set to 1, the PWM start level will be “low” for the programmed PWM Pulse Width and the remainder of the PWM Period time will be “high” defined by the [PWM Period – PWM Pulse Width]. Bit mapped per channel.
Note: There may be an initial “low” level output delay based on the Period time before the initial pulse is output.

1 Enhanced Input/Output Functionality Capability
The Enhanced Input/Output Functionality Capability is available on the following modules:
-
Differential Transceiver Modules
o DF2 – 16 Channels Differential I/O
-
Discrete I/O Modules
o DT4 – 24 Channels, Programmable for either input or output, output up to 500 mA per channelfrom an applied external 3 – 60 VCC source.
o DT5 – 16 Channels, Programmable for either input voltage measurements (±80 V) or as a bidirectional current switch (up to 500 mA per channel).
o DT6 – 4 Channels, Programmable for either input voltage measurements (±100 V) or as a bidirectional current switch (up to 3 A per channel).
-
TTL/CMOS Modules
o TL2, TL4, TL6 and TL8 – 24 Channels, Programmable for either input or output.
2 Principle of Operation
The modules listed in section 1 provide enhanced input and output mode functionality. For incoming signals (inputs), the enhanced modes include Pulse, Frequency and Period measurements. For outputs, the enhanced modes include PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and Pattern Generation.
2.1 Input Modes
All input modes may be configured with debounce capability. Debounce capability allows configurable filtering of noisy signals and transients. Each channel may be set to an individual debounce time value. When a debounce time is set to a non-zero value, the signal reading after a transition must remain at the same level for the debounce interval before it is propagated through, otherwise it is rejected.
The waveform shown in Figure 1 will be used to illustrate the behavior for each input mode.
2.1.1 Pulse Measurements
There are two Pulse Measurements features available – High Time Pulse Measurements and Low Time Pulse Measurements. The Pulse Measurement data is stored in the FIFO Buffer.
2.1.1.1 High Time Pulse Measurements
In this input mode, the data in the FIFO buffer is the measurement for each rising transition to the next falling one. Timing measurements record the time interval (in 10 µs ticks) from a pair of transitions.
For this example, the FIFO Word Count register will be set to 3 and the FIFO Buffer Data register will contain the following three values (counts of 10 µs): 1. 1500 (0x0000 05DC) 2. 2500 (0x0000 09C4) 3. 1000 (0x0000 03E8)

2.1.1.2 Low Time Pulse Measurements
In this mode, the data in the FIFO buffer is the measurement for each falling edge to the next rising edge. Timing measurements record the time interval (in 10 µs ticks) from a pair of transitions.
For this example, the FIFO Word Count register will be set to 3 and the FIFO Buffer Data register will contain the following three values (counts of 10 µs): 1. 2000 (0x0000 07D0) 2. 500 (0x0000 01F4) 3. 1500 (0x0000 05DC)

2.1.2 Transition Timestamps
There are three Transition Timestamp Measurements features available – Transition Timestamp for All Rising Edges, Transition Timestamp for All Falling Edges, and Transition Timestamp for All Edges. The Transition Timestamps Measurement data are store in the FIFO Buffer.
2.1.2.1 Transition Timestamp of All Rising Edges
In this mode, the data in the FIFO buffer is the Rising Edge Timestamp. The timestamp is a 32-bit counter that is incremented at the rate of 100 kHz (in other words, counter is incremented every 10 µsec). The timestamp is can be reset by the application at any time.
For this example, the FIFO Word Count register will be set to 4 and the FIFO Buffer Data register will contain the following four values (counts of 10 µs): 1. 1000 (0x0000 03E8) 2. 4500 (0x0000 1194) 3. 7500 (0x0000 1D4C) 4. 10000 (0x000 2710)
This data can be interpreted as follows:

10000 – 7500 = 2500 counts = 2500 * 10 µsec = 25000 µsec = 25.0 msec |
25.0 msec |
2.1.2.2 Transition Timestamp of All Falling Edges
In this mode, the data in the FIFO buffer is the Falling Edge Timestamp. The timestamp is a 32-bit counter that is incremented at the rate of 100 kHz (in other words, counter is incremented every 10 µsec). The timestamp is can be reset by the application at any time.
For this example, the FIFO Word Count register will be set to 3 and the FIFO Buffer Data register will contain the following three values (counts of 10 µs): 1. 2500 (0x0000 09C4) 2. 7000 (0x0000 1B58) 3. 8500 (0x0000 2134)
This data can be interpreted as follows:

8500 – 7000 = 1500 counts = 1500 * 10 µsec = 15000 µsec = 15.0 msec |
15.0 msec |
2.1.2.3 Transition Timestamp of All Edges
In this mode, the data in the FIFO buffer is the Rising and Falling Edge Timestamp. The timestamp is a 32-bit counter that is incremented at the rate of 100 kHz (in other words, counter is incremented every 10 µsec). The timestamp is can be reset by the application at any time.
For this example, the FIFO Word Count register will be set to 7 and the FIFO Buffer Data register will contain the following seven values (counts of 10 µs): 1. 1000 (0x0000 03E8) 2. 2500 (0x0000 09C4) 3. 4500 (0x0000 1194) 4. 7000 (0x0000 1B58) 5. 7500 (0x0000 1D4C) 6. 8500 (0x0000 2134) 7. 10000 (0x000 2710)

2.1.5 Frequency Measurement
In this input mode, the data in the FIFO buffer is the number of rising edge transitions for the programmable time interval programmed in the Frequency Measurement Period register.
For this example, set the Frequency Measurement Period register = 4000 (4000 * 10 µs = 40000 µs = 40 msec).
For this example, the FIFO Word Count register will be set to 3 and the FIFO Buffer Data register will contain the following three values (number of rising edges: 1. 2 (0x0000 0002) 2. 2 (0x0000 0002) 3. 2 (0x0000 0002)

2.2 Output Modes
There are three Enhanced Output Functionality modes: two PWM outputs and one Pattern Generator Output mode.
2.2.1 PWM Output
There are two PWM output modes, PWM Continuous and PWM Burst. The PWM timing is very precise with low jitter. In PWM Output mode, the Mode Select register is set to either “PWM Continuous or PWM Burst”. The value written to the PWM Period register specifies the period to output the PWM signal, the value written to the PWM Pulse Width register specifies the time for the “ON” state, and the value written to the PWM Output Polarity register specifies the initial edge of the output. For PWM Burst mode, the PWM Number of Cycles register specifies the number of cycles to output the signal. Note, there may be an initial “OFF” state level delay based on the Period time before the initial pulse is output.
2.2.1.1 PWM Continuous
Figure 12 and Figure 13 illustrate the PWM Continuous Output signal, one configured with PWM Output Polarity = Positive (0) and one configured with PWM Output Polarity = Negative (1). The configured PWM output is enabled and disabled with the Enable Measurements/Outputs register.
2.2.1.2 PWM Burst
Figure 14 and Figure 15 illustrate the PWM Burst Output signal with the PWM Number of Cycles = 5 pulses, one configured with PWM Output Polarity = Positive (0) and one configured with PWM Output Polarity = Negative (1). The configured PWM output is enabled with the Enable Measurements/Outputs register. Once the number of pulses that were requested is outputted, the value in the Enable Measurements/Outputs register will be reset (self-clearing) to allow for the output to be re-enabled
2.2.2 Pattern Generator
For the Pattern Generator mode, there is 64K block of unsigned 32-bit words allocated to specify the data pattern for the output channels. The data in each 32-bit word is bit-mapped per channel. The Pattern RAM Start Address and Pattern RAM End Address registers specify the starting and ending address in the 64K block to use as the data to output for each channel configured for Pattern Generator mode. The Pattern RAM Period register specifies the pattern rate. The Pattern RAM Control and Pattern RAM Number of Cycles control the Pattern Generator output – Continuous, Burst with a specified number of cycles, Pause, or External Trigger from input from Channel 1. Note, when any channel is configured for External Trigger Pattern Generator mode, Channel 1 must be set as an input.
Figure 16 illustrates the output of the 24 channels for the DT4 module all configured in Pattern Generator mode.
3 Register Descriptions
The register descriptions provide the register name, Type, Data Range, Read or Write information, Initialized Value, and a description of the function.
3.1 Enhanced I/O Functionality Registers
The modules listed in section 1 provide enhanced input and output mode functionality. The Mode Select and Enable Output/Measurement registers are general control registers for the different enhanced input and output modes.
3.1.1 Mode Select
Function: Configures the Enhanced Functionality Modes to apply to the channel.
Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Data Range: See table
Read/Write: R/W
Initialized Value: 0
Operational Settings: It is important that the channel is correctly configured to either input or output in the Input/Output Format registers to correspond to the Enhanced Functionality Mode selected. Setting a 0 to this register will configure that channel to normal operation.

STATUS AND INTERRUPTS
Edit this on GitLab
Status registers indicate the detection of faults or events. The status registers can be channel bit-mapped or event bit-mapped. An example of a channel bit-mapped register is the BIT status register, and an example of an event bit-mapped register is the FIFO status register.
For those status registers that allow interrupts to be generated upon the detection of the fault or the event, there are four registers associated with each status: Dynamic, Latched, Interrupt Enabled, and Set Edge/Level Interrupt.
Dynamic Status: The Dynamic Status register indicates the current condition of the fault or the event. If the fault or the event is momentary, the contents in this register will be clear when the fault or the event goes away. The Dynamic Status register can be polled, however, if the fault or the event is sporadic, it is possible for the indication of the fault or the event to be missed.
Latched Status: The Latched Status register indicates whether the fault or the event has occurred and keeps the state until it is cleared by the user. Reading the Latched Status register is a better alternative to polling the Dynamic Status register because the contents of this register will not clear until the user commands to clear the specific bit(s) associated with the fault or the event in the Latched Status register. Once the status register has been read, the act of writing a 1 back to the applicable status register to any specific bit (channel/event) location will “clear” the bit (set the bit to 0). When clearing the channel/event bits, it is strongly recommended to write back the same bit pattern as read from the Latched Status register. For example, if the channel bit-mapped Latched Status register contains the value 0x0000 0005, which indicates fault/event detection on channel 1 and 3, write the value 0x0000 0005 to the Latched Status register to clear the fault/event status for channel 1 and 3. Writing a “1” to other channels that are not set (example 0x0000 000F) may result in incorrectly “clearing” incoming faults/events for those channels (example, channel 2 and 4).
Interrupt Enable: If interrupts are preferred upon the detection of a fault or an event, enable the specific channel/event interrupt in the Interrupt Enable register. The bits in Interrupt Enable register map to the same bits in the Latched Status register. When a fault or event occurs, an interrupt will be fired. Subsequent interrupts will not trigger until the application acknowledges the fired interrupt by clearing the associated channel/event bit in the Latched Status register. If the interruptible condition is still persistent after clearing the bit, this may retrigger the interrupt depending on the Edge/Level setting.
Set Edge/Level Interrupt: When interrupts are enabled, the condition on retriggering the interrupt after the Latch Register is “cleared” can be specified as “edge” triggered or “level” triggered. Note, the Edge/Level Trigger also affects how the Latched Register value is adjusted after it is “cleared” (see below).
-
Edge triggered: An interrupt will be retriggered when the Latched Status register change from low (0) to high (1) state. Uses for edgetriggered interrupts would include transition detections (Low-to-High transitions, High-to-Low transitions) or fault detections. After “clearing” an interrupt, another interrupt will not occur until the next transition or the re-occurrence of the fault again.
-
Level triggered: An interrupt will be generated when the Latched Status register remains at the high (1) state. Level-triggered interrupts are used to indicate that something needs attention.
Interrupt Vector and Steering
When interrupts are enabled, the interrupt vector associated with the specific interrupt can be programmed with a unique number/identifier defined by the user such that it can be utilized in the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) to identify the type of interrupt. When an interrupt occurs, the contents of the Interrupt Vector registers is reported as part of the interrupt mechanism. In addition to specifying the interrupt vector, the interrupt can be directed (“steered”) to the native bus or to the application running on the onboard ARM processor.
Interrupt Trigger Types
In most applications, limiting the number of interrupts generated is preferred as interrupts are costly, thus choosing the correct Edge/Level interrupt trigger to use is important.
Example 1: Fault detection
This example illustrates interrupt considerations when detecting a fault like an “open” on a line. When an “open” is detected, the system will receive an interrupt. If the “open” on the line is persistent and the trigger is set to “edge”, upon “clearing” the interrupt, the system will not regenerate another interrupt. If, instead, the trigger is set to “level”, upon “clearing” the interrupt, the system will re-generate another interrupt. Thus, in this case, it will be better to set the trigger type to “edge”.
Example 2: Threshold detection
This example illustrates interrupt considerations when detecting an event like reaching or exceeding the “high watermark” threshold value. In a communication device, when the number of elements received in the FIFO reaches the high-watermark threshold, an interrupt will be generated. Normally, the application would read the count of the number of elements in the FIFO and read this number of elements from the FIFO. After reading the FIFO data, the application would “clear” the interrupt. If the trigger type is set to “edge”, another interrupt will be generated only if the number of elements in FIFO goes below the “high watermark” after the “clearing” the interrupt and then fills up to reach the “high watermark” threshold value. Since receiving communication data is inherently asynchronous, it is possible that data can continue to fill the FIFO as the application is pulling data off the FIFO. If, at the time the interrupt is “cleared”, the number of elements in the FIFO is at or above the “high watermark”, no interrupts will be generated. In this case, it will be better to set the trigger type to “level”, as the purpose here is to make sure that the FIFO is serviced when the number of elements exceeds the high watermark threshold value. Thus, upon “clearing” the interrupt, if the number of elements in the FIFO is at or above the “high watermark” threshold value, another interrupt will be generated indicating that the FIFO needs to be serviced.
Dynamic and Latched Status Registers Examples
The examples in this section illustrate the differences in behavior of the Dynamic Status and Latched Status registers as well as the differences in behavior of Edge/Level Trigger when the Latched Status register is cleared.

Principle of Operation
The User Watchdog Timer is optionally activated by the applications that require the module’s outputs to be disabled as a failsafe in the event of an application failure or crash. The circuit is designed such that a specific periodic write strobe pattern must be executed by the software to maintain operation and prevent the disablement from taking place.
The User Watchdog Timer is inactive until the application sends an initial strobe by writing the value 0x55AA to the UWDT Strobe register. After activating the User Watchdog Timer, the application must continually strobe the timer within the intervals specified with the configurable UWDT Quiet Time and UWDT Window registers. The timing of the strobes must be consistent with the following rules:
-
The application must not strobe during the Quiet time.
-
The application must strobe within the Window time.
-
The application must not strobe more than once in a single window time.
A violation of any of these rules will trigger a User Watchdog Timer fault and result in shutting down any isolated power supplies and/or disabling any active drive outputs, as applicable for the specific module. Upon a User Watchdog Timer event, recovery to the module shutting down will require the module to be reset.
The Figure 1 and Figure 2 provides an overview and an example with actual values for the User Watchdog Timer Strobes, Quiet Time and Window. As depicted in the diagrams, there are two processes that run in parallel. The Strobe event starts the timer for the beginning of the “Quiet Time”. The timer for the Previous Strobe event continues to run to ensure that no additional Strobes are received within the “Window” associated with the Previous Strobe.
The optimal target for the user watchdog strobes should be at the interval of [Quiet time + ½ Window time] after the previous strobe, which will place the strobe in the center of the window. This affords the greatest margin of safety against unintended disablement in critical operations.

Register Descriptions
The register descriptions provide the register name, Type, Data Range, Read or Write information, Initialized Value, and a description of the function.
User Watchdog Timer Registers
The registers associated with the User Watchdog Timer provide the ability to specify the UWDT Quiet Time and the UWDT Window that will be monitored to ensure that EXACTLY ONE User Watchdog Timer (UWDT) Strobe is written within the window.
UWDT Quiet Time
Function: Sets Quiet Time value (in microseconds) to use for the User Watchdog Timer Frame.
Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Data Range: 0 µsec to 2^32 µsec (0x0 to 0xFFFFFFFF)
Read/Write: R/W
Initialized Value: 0x0
Operational Settings: LSB = 1 µsec. The application must NOT write a strobe in the time between the previous strobe and the end of the Quiet time interval. In addition, the application must write in the UWDT Window EXACTLY ONCE.
UWDT Window
Function: Sets Window value (in microseconds) to use for the User Watchdog Timer Frame.
Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Data Range: 0 µsec to 2^32 µsec (0x0 to 0xFFFFFFFF)
Read/Write: R/W
Initialized Value: 0x0
Operational Settings: LSB = 1 µsec. The application must write the strobe once within the Window time after the end of the Quiet time interval. The application must write in the UWDT Window EXACTLY ONCE. This setting must be initialized to a non-zero value for operation and should allow sufficient tolerance for strobe timing by the application.
UWDT Strobe
Function: Writes the strobe value to be use for the User Watchdog Timer Frame.
Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Data Range: 0x55AA
Read/Write: W
Initialized Value: 0x0
Operational Settings: At startup, the user watchdog is disabled. Write the value of 0x55AA to this register to start the user watchdog timer monitoring after initial power on or a reset. To prevent a disablement, the application must periodically write the strobe based on the user watchdog timer rules.
Status and Interrupt
The modules that are capable of User Watchdog Timer support provide status registers for the User Watchdog Timer.
User Watchdog Timer Status
The status register that contains the User Watchdog Timer Fault information is also used to indicate channel Inter-FPGA failures on modules that have communication between FPGA components. There are four registers associated with the User Watchdog Timer Fault/Inter-FPGA Failure Status: Dynamic, Latched, Interrupt Enable, and Set Edge/Level Interrupt.

Channel bit-mapped indicating channel inter |
Function: Sets the corresponding bit (D31) associated with the channel’s User Watchdog Timer Fault error.
Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Data Range: 0x0000 0000 to 0xFFFF FFFF
Read/Write: R (Dynamic), R/W (Latched, Interrupt Enable, Set Edge/Level Interrupt)
Initialized Value: 0
Interrupt Vector and Steering
When interrupts are enabled, the interrupt vector associated with the specific interrupt can be programmed (typically with a unique number/identifier) such that it can be utilized in the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) to identify the type of interrupt. When an interrupt occurs, the contents of the Interrupt Vector registers is reported as part of the interrupt mechanism.
In addition to specifying the interrupt vector, the interrupt can be directed (“steered”) to the native bus or to the application running on the onboard ARM processor.

the Interrupt Vector and Interrupt Steering registers are mapped to the Motherboard Common Memory and these registers are associated with the Module Slot position (refer to Function Register Map). |

*When an event is detected, the bit associated with the event is set in this register and will remain set until the user clears the event bit. Clearing the bit requires writing a 1 back to the specific bit that was set when read (i.e. write-1-toclear, writing a ‘1' to a bit set to ‘1' will set the bit to ‘0').
