CM2 Overview

NAI’s CM2 module offers a range of features designed to suit a variety of system requirements, including:

Discrete I/O (DT4 Module-Type) Features

12 Channels of Programmable Discrete Input/Output: The DT4 function features 12 channels programmable for either discrete input or output that provide the following:

  • Input - voltage or contact sensing with programmable, pull-up/pull-down current sources, eliminating the need for external resistors or mechanical jumpers.
  • Output - programmable current source (high-side), sink (low-side) or push-pull switching up to 500 mA per channel from an applied 3- 60V external VCC source (or sink to ISO-GND).

Current Sharing: The DT4 function enables current sharing* by connecting multiple outputs in parallel, capable of sinking or sourcing up to 2A per bank, enhancing your system’s capacity and reliability.

(*) Current Share: The maximum output load per-channel is ±0.5A. Channels can be connected and operated in parallel to provide > 0.5A to act as a single channel. The load current between paralleled channels cannot be effectively characterized and is not expected to be equal due to factors including:

Channel/bank position, module position, motherboard/system platform configuration, operating temperature range including external application/configuration influences (e.g., external cabling).

Therefore, when operating in shared current (parallel channel) configuration, it is recommended to de-rate the per-channel maximum current output to at least 66% (or 333 mA/channel) to ensure that no single channel is overburdened by handling most of the load current.

For example: If the maximum continuous load current is expected to be 1A: 1/0.33 ≅ 3 channels (minimum).

Inrush Current Handling: The DT4 function can efficiently handle high inrush current loads, such as connecting two #327 incandescent lamps in parallel, without compromising performance.

Dual Turn-On Application Support: The DT4 function supports ‘dual turn-on’ applications, such as dual series ‘key’ missile launch control, providing seamless control in critical operations.

Debounce Circuitry: Programmable debounce circuitry with selectable time delay eliminates false signals caused by relay contact bounce, ensuring accurate data acquisition.

Background Built-In-Test (BIT): All channels have continuous background Built-In-Test (BIT), which provides real-time channel health to ensure reliable operation in mission-critical systems. This feature runs in the background and is transparent in normal operations.

Input Diagnostics: The DT4 function can sense broken input connections and detect if inputs are shorted to +V or ground, allowing for early detection and troubleshooting.

Voltage and Current Readings: The DT4 function offers the ability to read I/O voltage and output current, facilitating improved diagnostics and load status identification (indicates if load is connected).

Enhanced Functionality Features: In addition to offering the same functionality as the DT1 standard function (SF) module, the DT4 includes the following enhanced features:

  • Enhanced Input Mode - Pulse Measurements, Transition Timestamps, Transition Counters, Period Measurement, and Frequency Measurement.
  • Enhanced Output Mode - PWM Output and Pattern Generator Output.

ARINC 429/575 (AR1 Module-Type) Features

ARINC 429: ARINC 429 is a widely adopted data transfer standard, serving as an alternative to MIL-STD-1553. It utilizes a self-clocking, self-synchronizing data bus protocol with separate transmit and receive ports. The physical connection consists of twisted pairs carrying balanced differential signaling. Each data word is 32 bits in length, with most messages containing a single data word. Messages are transmitted at either 12.5 or 100 kbps, allowing other system elements to monitor the bus messages. The transmitter continuously transmits 32-bit data words or the NULL state. A single-wire pair can accommodate one transmitter and up to 20 receivers. Notably, the receiver end of the protocol enables self-clocking, eliminating the need for transmitting clocking data.

ARINC 575: In addition to ARINC 429, the AR1 function also supports ARINC 575, a data transfer protocol specifically used for the Digital Air Data System (DADS) on commercial and transport aircraft. ARINC 575 defines a digital data bus that distributes crucial air-data information to displays, autopilots, and flight control instrumentation.

While there are minor differences between the digital data bus of ARINC 575 and ARINC 429, the most significant distinction lies in the usage of bit 32. In ARINC 429, bit 32 is reserved for parity, whereas ARINC 575 can utilize bit 32 for either parity (when using BNR encoding) or data (when using BCD encoding).

Receive/Transmit Mode Programmability: Each channel of the AR1 function can be programmed to operate in either receive or transmit mode according to your specific application needs.

Flexible Operation: The AR1 function supports both 100 kHz and 12.5 kHz operation per channel, allowing you to choose the appropriate speed for your communication requirements.

Transmit Capabilities: Enjoy the convenience of a 255 message FIFO or scheduled transmits per channel, allowing you to efficiently manage and control the transmission of messages. Additionally, asynchronous transmits can be performed alongside scheduled transmits.

Receive Capabilities: Benefit from a 255 message FIFO or mailbox buffering per channel, providing ample storage for incoming messages. This ensures reliable reception and efficient handling of data.

Message Validation: The AR1 function supports SDI/Label Filtering, enabling you to validate received messages based on specific criteria per channel. This feature enhances the overall data integrity and ensures only relevant information is processed.

Hardware Parity: You have the option to enable selectable hardware parity generation/checking, which adds an extra layer of data integrity verification during transmission and reception.

Receive Time Stamping: Gain valuable insight into message reception with the functions’s receive time stamping feature. This allows precise timing analysis and synchronization in your communication system.

Continuous Built-In Test (BIT): The AR1 function incorporates continuous BIT functionality, providing self-diagnostics and monitoring capabilities to ensure reliable operation and easy troubleshooting.

Loop-Back Test: Verify the integrity of the AR1 function by performing loop-back tests. This feature allows you to validate the communication path and confirm proper functionality.

Tri-State Outputs: The AR1 function’s outputs support tri-state functionality, allowing you to control the state of the outputs as needed. This enables seamless integration with other system components.

High and Low-Speed Slew Rate Outputs: The AR1 function offers both high and low-speed slew rate outputs, providing flexibility in meeting the requirements of various communication interfaces.

DISCRETE I/O FUNCTION

The Discrete I/O communications function is like the standard DT4 communications function module (DT4 may be used as a reference/guide within the context of this document).

Principle of Operation

The CM2 provides up to twelve (12) channels of individual digital (DT4 module-type) I/O with BIT fault detection, which enables flagging of non-compliant outputs or inconsistent input readings between dual input measurements

When channels are programmed as inputs, they can be used for either voltage or contact sensing. Channels set for contact sensing (e.g., sensing a relay contact position; OPEN-CLOSED) can be configured with a programmable “pull-up” or “pull-down” (current source or sink) which effectively provides the proper voltage level change to sense the open state of the contact. This unique design eliminates the need for external resistors or mechanical jumpers. Instead, this design offers a current source/sink (in banks of 6 channels) that the user programs to a desired current (0-5 mA) level.

When programmed as outputs, each channel can be set for high-side (current-source), low-side (current-sink) or push-pull (current-source-sink) operation. The load impedance determines the delivered switched output current drive (up to 500 mA per channel). Diode clamping is provided (useful for inductive loads, such as relays) and thermal protection.

Overcurrent protection is implemented using current sensing technology. When the current exceeds a programmed threshold of 650 mA steady-state, or a higher short duration, the overcurrent/short-circuit protection is triggered, shutting down the output drivers for safety. The overcurrent fault status will be indicated for the affected channels and will require a reset operation to restore output. To reset this condition, a reset command needs to be issued to the Overcurrent Reset register, which will restore drive output and allow the latched status to be reset. This is separate from the reset for the Overcurrent Interrupt Enable register on this module. It is recommended that a reset command is done whenever status is cleared to avoid a non-apparent output reset condition.

The 12 channels are configured as 2 banks of 6 channels. Each bank is provided with a separate external input VCC and a ground return (GND) pin. The GND pins are common within the module but are isolated from system (power) GND.

Operational requirements/assumptions:

  • An external source VCC supply must be wired for proper:
    • Output operation as a current source.
    • Input operation when requiring a programmed pull-up current (i.e., programmed “pull-up” for input contact sense; OPEN/GND detect/state change).
  • An external source Ground/Return must be wired for all I/O configurations. The Ground/Return must be the input signal or the load current sink ground/reference.

Input/Output Interface

Each channel can be configured as an input or one of three types of outputs.

Output

When configured as an output, the interface can act as a “High-Side”, “Low-Side” or “Push-Pull” drive, providing up to 500 mA per channel or 1 A when two channels are connected in parallel. The total output per module is 8 A (2 A per bank).

Note

Maximum source current ‘rules’ for rear I/O connectors still apply - see specifications.

Input

When configured as an input, output drivers are disabled. The I/O interface can act as a constant current source, current sink or voltage sensing circuit. For contact sensing, each channel may be set for pull-up or pull-down using the Select Pull-Up or Pull-Down register and by entering the appropriate current level in the Pull-Up/Down Current register. Contact closure and hysteresis may be defined using the Upper Voltage and Lower Voltage Threshold registers. No additional resistors or hardware are required to provide for current flow. A current value of zero disables the current source/sink circuits and configures the module for voltage sensing. Default is voltage sensing. Level or contact sensing can be mixed within a channel bank, if the contact sensing channels are externally pulled up or pulled down.

Note

If this module supplies the current for the contact sensing, then level and contact sensing cannot be mixed within a channel bank.

All four threshold levels must be programmed in monotonic, increasing order of: Minimum Low, Lower, Upper and Maximum High. For input and output, threshold levels define logic state. For output, threshold levels are used in BIT test (wrap-around) signal monitoring. A pair of drive FETs and current circuits are provided at each I/O pin. See the functional representation of the drivers in the I/O Circuits interface diagram below.

Input/Output Circuits

Discrete I/O Threshold Programming

Four threshold levels (Max High Voltage Threshold, Upper Voltage Threshold, Lower Voltage Threshold, and Min Low Voltage Threshold) 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:

Max High Voltage Threshold > Upper Voltage Threshold > Lower Voltage Threshold > Min Low Voltage Threshold

Program Upper and Lower Voltage Thresholds, keeping the 0.25 V min. differential in mind, and then add debounce time as required. When the input signal exceeds the Upper Voltage Threshold, a logic high 1 is maintained until the input signal falls below the Lower Voltage Threshold. Conversely, when the input signal falls below the Lower Voltage Threshold, a logic low 0 is maintained until the input signal rises above the Upper Voltage Threshold.

Debounce Programming

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. 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.

Automatic Background Built-In Test (BIT)/Diagnostic Capability

The Discrete module supports automatic background BIT testing that verifies channel processing. The testing is totally transparent to the user, requires no external programming and has no effect on the operation of the module. This capability is accomplished by an additional test comparator that is incorporated into each module. The test comparator checks each channel and is compared against the operational channel. Depending upon the configuration, the Input data read, or Output logic written of the operational channel and test comparator must agree or a fault is indicated with the results available in the associated status register. The results of the tests are stored in the BIT Dynamic Status and BIT Latched Status registers.

The technique used by the continuous background BIT (CBIT) test consists of an “add-2, subtract-1” counting scheme. The BIT counter is incremented by 2 when a BIT-fault is detected and decremented by 1 when there is no BIT fault detected and the BIT counter is greater than 0. When the BIT counter exceeds the (programmed) Background BIT Threshold value, the specific channel’s fault bit in the BIT status register will be set. Note, the interval at which BIT is performed is dependent and differs between module types. Rather than specifying the BIT Threshold as a “count”, the BIT Threshold is specified as a time in milliseconds. The module will convert the time specified to the BIT Threshold “count” based on the BIT interval for that module. The “add-2, subtract-1” counting scheme effectively filters momentary or intermittent anomalies by allowing them to “come and go“ before a BIT fault status or indication is flagged (e.g., BIT faults would register when sustained; i.e., at a ten second interval, not a 10-millisecond interval). This prevents spurious faults from registering valid such as those caused by EMI and/or dirty power causing false BIT faults. Putting more “weight” on errors (“add-2”) and less “weight” on subsequent passing results (subtract-1) will result in a BIT failure indication even if a channel “oscillates” between a pass and fail state.

In addition to BIT, the Discrete module tests for overcurrent conditions and provides Above Max High Voltage, Below Min Low Voltage, and Mid-Range Voltage statuses for threshold signal transitioning.

Status and Interrupts

The Discrete I/O function provide registers that indicate faults or events. Refer to “Status and Interrupts Module Manual” for the Principle of Operation description.

Module Common Registers

The Discrete I/O function includes module common registers that provide access to module-level bare metal/FPGA revisions & compile times, unique serial number information, and temperature/voltage/current monitoring. Refer to “Module Common Registers Module Manual” for the detailed information.

Unit Conversions

The Discrete I/O function Threshold and Measurement registers can be programmed to be utilized as a single precision floating point value (IEEE-754) or as a 32-bit integer value. The purpose for providing this feature is to offload the processing that is normally performed by the mission processor to convert the integer values to floating-point values.

When the Enable Floating Point Mode register is set to 1 (Floating Point Mode) the following registers are formatted as Single Precision Floating Point Value (IEEE-754):

  • Voltage Reading (Volts)

  • Current Reading (mA)

  • VCC Voltage Reading (Volts)

  • Max High Voltage Threshold (Volts)*

  • Upper Voltage Threshold (Volts)*

  • Lower Voltage Threshold (Volts)*

  • Min Low Voltage Threshold (Volts)*

  • Pull-Up/Down Current (mA)*

*When the Enable Floating Point Mode register is set to 1, it is important that these registers are updated with the Single Precision Floating Point (IEEE-754) representation of the value for proper operation of the channel. Conversely, when the Enable Floating Point Mode register is set to 0, these registers must be updated with the Integer 32-bit representation of the value.

Note

When changing the Enable Floating Point Mode from Integer Mode to Floating Point Mode or vice versa, the following steps are followed to avoid faults from falsely being generated:

  1. Set the Enable Floating Point Mode register to the desired mode (Integer or Floating Point).
  2. The application waits for the Floating Point State register to match the value for the requested Floating Point Mode (Integer = 0, Floating Point = 1); this indicates that the module’s conversion of the register values and internal values is complete. Data registers will be converted to the units specified and can be read in that specified format.

User Watchdog Timer Capability

The Discrete I/O function provide registers that support User Watchdog Timer capability. Refer to “User Watchdog Timer Module Manual” for the Principle of Operation description.

Enhanced Functionality

The Discrete I/O function (DT4-type) provides enhanced input and output mode functionality. For incoming signals (inputs), the Discrete I/O enhanced modes include Pulse Measurements, Transition Timestamps, Transition Counters, Period Measurement and Frequency Measurement. For outputs, the Discrete I/O enhanced modes include PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Outputs and Pattern Generator Outputs.

Refer to “Enhanced Discrete I/O, Digital I/O Functionality - Module Manual” for the Principle of Operation description.

Register Description

The register descriptions provide the register name, Type, Data Range, Read or Write information, Initialized Value, a description of the function and, in most cases, a data table.

Discrete Input/Output Registers

Each channel can be configured as an input or one of three types of outputs. The I/O Format registers are used to set each channel input/output configuration. The Write Outputs register controls the output channels to either a High (1) or Low (0) state, and the Read I/O register contains the discrete channel’s state (High (1) or Low (0)) as specified by the channel’s threshold configurations.

Initialized Value:0xA
Operational Settings:Assumes that the programmed level is the voltage used to indicate a Minimum Low Voltage Threshold. If a signal is less than the Min Low Voltage Threshold value, a flag is set in the Min Low Voltage Threshold Status register. The Min Low Voltage 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. Integer Mode: LSB is 0.1 VDC. For example: to program 0.5 VDC, 0.5 / 0.1 = 5 (binary equivalent for 5 is 0x0000 0005). Floating Point Mode: Set Min Low Voltage Threshold value as a Single Precision Floating Point Value (IEEE-754). For example, to program 0.5 V, enter 0.5 as a single precision floating point value (IEEE-754) (binary equivalent 0.5 is 0x3F00 0000).

Discrete Input/Output Measurement Registers

The measured voltage and current at the I/O pin for each channel can be read from the Voltage Reading and Current Reading registers.

Operational Settings:Integer Mode: LSB is 0.1 VDC. If the register value is 261 (binary equivalent for 261 is 0x0000 0105), conversion to the voltage value is 261 * 0.1 = 26.1 V. Floating Point Mode: Read as a Single Precision Floating Point Value (IEEE-754). For example, if the register value is 0x41D0 CCCD, this is equivalent to is 26.1, which represent 26.1 V.

For example, if the register value is 50 (binary equivalent for 50 is 0x0000 0032), the conversion to the current value is 50 3.0 = 150 mA. If register value is -50 (binary equivalent for -150 is 0x0000 FFCE), the conversion to the current value is -50 3.0 = -150 mA. Floating Point Mode: Read as a Single Precision Floating Point Value (IEEE-754). The value will represent a positive or negative current reading. For example, if the register value is 0x4316 0000, this is equivalent to 150, which represent 150 mA. If the register value is 0xC316 0000, this is equivalent to -150, which represents -150 mA.

Discrete Input/Output Control Registers

Control of the Discrete I/O channels include specifying the Debounce time for each input channel and resetting the I/O channel on an overcurrent condition.

Debounce Time
Function:When set for inputs, the input signal will have the debounce filtering applied based on this programmed value. This is selectable for each channel.
Type:unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Data Range:0x0000 0000 to 0xFFFF FFFF
Read/Write:R/W
Initialized Value:0
Operational Settings:The Debounce Time 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 0x0000 0000 (debounce filter inactive) through a maximum of 0xFFFF FFFF (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.
Overcurrent Reset
Function:Resets disabled channels in Overcurrent Latched Status register following an overcurrent condition as measured by the Current Reading register.
Type:unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Unit Conversion Programming Registers

The Enable Floating Point register provides the ability to set the Threshold values as floating-point values and read the Voltage Reading and Current Reading registers as floating-point values. The purpose for this feature is to offload the processing that is normally performed by the mission processor to convert the integer values to floating-point values.

Enable Floating Point Mode
Function:Sets all channels for floating point mode or integer module.
Type:unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Data Range:0 to 1
Read/Write:R/W
Initialized Value:0
Operational Settings:Set bit to 1 to enable Floating Point Mode and 0 for Integer Mode. Wait for the Floating Point State register to match the value for the requested Floating Point Mode (Integer = 0, Floating Point = 1); this indicates that the module's conversion of the register values and internal values is complete before changing the values of the configuration and control registers with the values in the units specified (Integer or Floating Point).

Function:Sets BIT Threshold value (in milliseconds) to use for all channels for BIT failure indication.
Type:unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Data Range:1 ms to 2^32 ms
Read/Write:R/W
Initialized Value:5 ms
Operational Settings:The interval at which BIT is performed is dependent and differs between module types. Rather than specifying the BIT Threshold as a “count”, the BIT Threshold is specified as a time in milliseconds. The module will convert the time specified to the BIT Threshold “count” based on the BIT interval for that module.
BIT Count Clear
Function:Resets the CBIT internal circuitry and count mechanism. Set the bit corresponding to the channel you want to clear.
Type:unsigned binary word (32-bit)

User Watchdog Timer Fault Status

The Discrete I/O function provide registers that support User Watchdog Timer capability. Refer to “User Watchdog Timer Module Manual” for the User Watchdog Timer Fault Status Register descriptions.

Inter-FPGA Failure Status

Data is periodically transferred between the Lattice FPGA and the Xilinx FPGA. A CRC value is calculated and verified with each data transfer. A CRC error flag is sent from the Lattice FPGA to the Xilinx FPGA if a CRC error is detected. The Xilinx FPGA contains a counter that will increase by two when a CRC error is flagged and decremented by one when there is no CRC error. If the counter reaches ten, the Xilinx FPGA will set the Inter-FPGA Failure status bit and shut down the isolated power supply. To recover from an Inter-FPGA Failure, the module needs to be reset and re-initialized.

There are four registers associated with the Inter-FPGA Status: Dynamic, Latched, Interrupt Enable, and Set Edge/Level Interrupt. 0 = Normal; 0xFFF = Inter-FPGA Communication Failure. The status represents the status for

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.

Note

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).

BIT REGISTERs
*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-to-clear, writing a “1” to a bit set to “1” will set the bit to “0).

ARINC 429/575 FUNCTION

The ARINC 429/575 communications function is like the standard communications function module (AR1 may be used as a reference/guide within the context of this document).

Principle of Operation

The CM2 provides (8) channels of programmable ARINC-429 communication buses (AR1 module-type). Each channel is software selectable for transmit and/or receive, high or low speed, and odd or no parity. Therefore, AR1 can support multiple ARINC 429 and 575 channels simultaneously.

Receive Operation

Serial BRZ data is decoded for logic states: one, zero or null. Once Word Gap is detected (4 null states) the receiver waits for either a zero or one state to start the serial-to-parallel shift function. If a waveform timing fault is detected before the serial/parallel function is complete, operation is terminated and the receiver returns to waiting for Word Gap detection. The serial-to-parallel output data is validated for odd parity, Label and Serial-to-Digital Interface (SDI).

If message validation (filtering) is enabled, the module compares the SDI/Label of incoming ARINC messages to a list of desired SDI/Labels in validation (match) memory and only stores messages with an SDI/Label in the list. The message is stored in the receive FIFO or mailbox, depending if the channel is in FIFO receive mode or mailbox receive mode. In FIFO Receive Mode, received ARINC messages / words are stored with an associated status word and an optional time-stamp value in the channel’s receive FIFO. Additionally, the Rx FIFO can be set for either bounded or circular mode, which determines FIFO behavior when it is full. In bounded mode, newly received ARINC messages are discarded if the FIFO is full whereas in circular mode, new ARINC messages overwrite the oldest messages in the FIFO. In mailbox mode, received ARINC words are stored in mailboxes or records in RAM that are indexed by the SDI/Label of the ARINC word. Each mailbox contains a status word associated with the message, the ARINC message / word, and an optional 32-bit timestamp value. The status word indicates parity error and new message status.

Transmit Operation

Transmitters are tri-stated when TX is not enabled. Transmit operates in one of three modes: Immediate FIFO, Triggered FIFO, and Scheduled. In immediate mode, ARINC data is sent as soon as data is written to the transmit FIFO. In Triggered FIFO mode, a write to the Transmit Trigger register is needed to start transmission of the transmit FIFO contents. Transmission continues until the FIFO is empty. To transmit more data after the FIFO empties out, issue a new trigger after filling the transmit FIFO with new data.

For either FIFO mode, a transmit FIFO Rate register is provided to control rate of transmission. The contents of this register specify the gap time between transmitted words from the FIFO. The default is the minimum ARINC gap time of 4-bit times.

Schedule mode transmits ARINC data words according to a prebuilt schedule table in Transmit Schedule RAM. In the Schedule table, various commands define what messages are sent and the duration of gaps between each message. Note that a Gap (Gap or Fixed Gap) command must be explicitly added in between each Message command otherwise a gap will not be inserted between messages. The ARINC data words and gap times are stored in the Transmit Message RAM and can be updated on the fly as the schedule executes. A write to the Transmit Trigger register initiates the schedule and commands are executed starting from the first command (address 0x0) in the Schedule RAM. While a schedule is running, an ARINC word can be transmitted asynchronously by writing the async data word to the Async Transmit Data register. After it has transmitted, the Async Data Available bit will be cleared from the Channel Status register and the Async Data Sent Interrupt will be set if enabled. The Async Data Available bit in Channel Status also gets cleared by a Stop Cmd in a schedule or if a Transmit Stop command is issued from the Transmit Stop register. Use the Fixed Gap command instead of the Gap command to disable async transmissions during the schedule gap time. Gap and Fixed Gap commands can both be used when building the transmit schedule.

Schedule Transmit Commands

ARINC 429/575 scheduling is controlled by commands that are written to the Transmit Schedule RAM. The available commands are:

  • Message
  • Gap
  • Fixed Gap
  • Pause
  • Schedule Interrupt
  • Jump
  • Stop

Schedule Transmit Commands

Command NameDescription
MessageThis command takes a parameter that specifies the location in Transmit Message memory containing the ARINC data word to be sent. The word is transmitted when the Message command is executed. This ARINC word can be modified in Tx Message memory while the schedule is running.
GapThis command takes a parameter that specifies the location in Transmit Message memory containing a 20-bit gap time value. Values less than 4 are invalid. If the previous command was a Message, then that message is transmitted and then the transmitter waits out the specified gap time transmitting nulls. An exception to this is if there is an async data word available. If the gap time is greater or equal to 40 bit times (4-bit gap time plus one ARINC word plus another 4-bit gap time) an async data word, if available, will be transmitted during this time. If a new async data word is made available and the remaining gap time is large enough to accommodate another async data word transmission, then the new async data word will be transmitted after a 4-bit gap time. Multiple async data word transmissions can thus occur as long as the remaining gap time is large enough to accommodate a message and the required minimum 4-bit gap time. Otherwise, the transmitter waits out the remaining gap time before executing the next command.
Fixed GapThis command takes a parameter that specifies the location in Transmit Message memory containing a 20-bit gap time value. Values less than 4 are invalid. If the previous command was a Message, then that message is transmitted with the specified gap time appended. If the previous command was not a Message, then the transmitter waits for the specified gap time before executing the next command. The difference between the Fixed Gap and Gap command is that Fixed Gap will prevent the transmission of async data words during the gap time. Use Fixed Gap to only allow nulls to be transmitted during the gap time.
PauseThis command causes the transmitter to pause execution of the schedule after transmitting the current word. Either a Transmit Trigger command is issued to resume execution, or a Transmit Stop command is issued to halt execution.
InterruptThis command causes the Schedule Interrupt to be set if Schedule Interrupt is enabled. An unlatched version of this flag is also visible in the channel status register
JumpJumps to the 9-bit address in Schedule memory pointed to by this command and resumes execution there.
StopThis command causes the transmitter to stop execution of the schedule after transmitting the current word.

ARINC 429/575 Built-in Test

The AR1 function supports three types of built-in tests: Power-On, Continuous Background and Initiated. The results of these tests are logically ORed together and stored in the BIT Dynamic Status and BIT Latched Status registers.

Power-On Self-Test (POST) / Power-on BIT (PBIT) / Start-up BIT(SBIT)

The power-on self-test is performed on each channel automatically when power is applied and reports the results in the BIT Status register when complete. After power-on, the Power-on BIT Complete register should be checked to ensure that POST/PBIT/SBIT test is complete before reading the BIT Dynamic Status and BIT Latched Status registers.

Continuous Background Built-In Test

The background Built-In-Test or Continuous BIT (CBIT) runs in the background for each enabled channel. In Transmit operations, internal transmit data is compared to loop-back data received by the ARINC receivers. When the channel is configured for Receive operation, receive data is continuously monitored via a secondary parallel path circuit and compared to the primary input receive data. If the data does not match, the technique used by the automatic background BIT test consists of an “add-2, subtract-1” counting scheme. The BIT counter is incremented by 2 when a BIT-fault is detected and decremented by 1 when there is no BIT fault detected and the BIT counter is greater than 0. When the BIT counter exceeds the (programmed) Background BIT Threshold value, the specific channel’s fault bit in the BIT status register will be set. The “add-2, subtract-1” counting scheme effectively filters momentary or intermittent anomalies by allowing them to “come and go“ before a BIT fault status or indication is flagged (e.g. BIT faults would register when sustained). This prevents spurious faults from registering valid such as those caused by EMI and/or dirty power causing false BIT faults. Putting more “weight” on errors (“add-2”) and less “weight” on subsequent passing results (subtract-1) will result in a BIT failure indication even if a channel “oscillates” between a pass and fail state. Results of the Continuous BIT are stored in the BIT Dynamic Status and BIT Latched Status register.

Initiated Built-In Test

The Initiated Built-In-Test (IBIT) is an internal loopback available for each channel of the AR1 module. The test is initiated by setting the bit for the associated channel in the Test Enabled register to a 1. Once enabled, they must wait at least 3 msec before checking to see if the bit for the associated channel in the Test Enabled register reads a 0. When the AR1 clears the bit, it means that the test has completed, and its results can be checked. The results of the IBIT is stored in the BIT Dynamic Status and BIT Latched Status registers, a 0 indicates that the channel has passed and a 1 indicates that it failed.

Loop-Back Operation

Transmit and receive operation of an AR1 channel can be verified internally by enabling both Tx and Rx on the same channel. Tx Scheduling is not supported when the channel is placed in this mode.

Transient Protection

Transmit and receive operation of an AR1 channel can be verified internally by enabling both Tx and Rx on the same channel. Tx Scheduling is not supported when the channel is placed in this mode.

Status and Interrupts

The AR1 function of the combination module provide registers that indicate faults or events. Refer to “Status and Interrupts Module Manual” for the Principle of Operation description.

Module Common Registers

The AR1 function of the combination module includes module common registers that provide access to module-level bare metal/FPGA revisions and compile times, unique serial number information, and temperature/voltage/current monitoring. Refer to “Module Common Registers Module Manual” for detailed information.

Transmit Message RAM Data Format
Function:The Transmit Message RAM consists of 256 32-bit words that are used by the transmit schedule for ARINC message and gap time word storage.
Type:unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Range:0 to 0xFFFF FFFF
Read/Write:R/W
Initialized Value:N/A
Operational Settings:Words that are stored in Transmit Message RAM are utilized by Message, Gap, and Fixed Gap commands in the Transmit Schedule. In the case of Message commands, the command parameter specifies an address in Transmit Message RAM that contains the 32-bit ARINC message to transmit. In the case of Gap or Fixed Gap commands, the command parameter specifies an address in Transmit Message RAM that contains the gap time value.
Async Transmit Data
Function:This memory location is the transmit async buffer.
Type:unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Range:0 to 0xFFFF FFFF
Read/Write:R/W
Initialized Value:0
Operational Settings:While a schedule is running, a single 32-bit ARINC message that is intended to be transmitted asynchronously must be written to this register. When an async data word is written to this register, the Async Data Available status bit will get set until the async data word is transmitted. If a gap (not fixed gap) time is greater or equal to 40 bit times (4-bit gap time plus one ARINC word plus another 4-bit gap time) the async data word, if available, will be transmitted during this time.
Transmit Control Registers

Control of the transmission of ARINC messages includes the ability to start/resume, pause and stop the transmission of the message.

Transmit Trigger
Function:Sends a trigger command to the transmitter and is used to start transmission in Triggered FIFO or Scheduled Transmit modes.

Control Registers

The AR1 function control registers provide the ability to reset all the channels in the AR1 module and configuring and controlling individual AR1 channels.

Channel Control
Function:Used to configure and control the channels.
Type:unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Range:See table
Read/Write:R/W
Initialized Value:0
Operational Settings:When writing to this register, the configuration bits must be maintained when setting the control bits.
Bit(s)CONTROL FUNCTIONSDescription
D31:D22RESERVEDSet RESERVED bits to 0.
D21SCHEDULE INTERRUPT CLEARWhen the SCHEDULE INTERRUPT CLEAR bit is set to 1 by the user, the Schedule Interrupt bit (D10) in the Channel Status register can be cleared.
D20RESERVEDSet RESERVED bits to 0.
D19CHANNEL RESETWhen the CHANNEL RESET bit is set to 1 by the user, the channel is held in reset until the user sets the bit to 0. The channel reset causes Tx and Rx FIFO buffers to clear out but channel configuration settings remain unchanged.
D18MATCH MEMORY CLEARWhen the MATCH MEMORY CLEAR bit is set to 1 by the user and if MATCH ENABLE bit is set to 1, all 1024 SDI/Labels will be disabled in Rx Match Memory, which means all received ARINC messages will be filtered out and discarded. This is a self-clearing bit. After setting the bit, allow 100 us to complete.
D17RECEIVE FIFO CLEARWhen the RECEIVE FIFO CLEAR bit is set to 1 then set to 0 by the user, the Rx FIFO buffer is cleared out and the Rx FIFO count goes to zero.
D16TRANSMIT FIFO CLEARWhen the TRANSMIT FIFO CLEAR bit is set to 1 then set to 0 by the user, the Tx FIFO buffer is cleared out and the Tx FIFO count goes to zero.
Bit(s)CONFIGURATION FUNCTIONSDescription/Values
D15:D11RESERVEDSet RESERVED bits to 0.
D10STORE ON ERROR DISABLEIf the STORE ON ERROR DISABLE bit is cleared (0) and odd parity is enabled, received words that contain a parity error will be stored in the receive buffer or mailbox. When the STORE ON ERROR DISABLE bit is set (1) and odd parity is enabled, received words that contain a parity error will NOT be stored in the receive buffer or mailbox.
D9RESERVEDSet RESERVED bits to 0.
D8TIMESTAMP ENABLEWhen TIMESTAMP ENABLE bit is set to 1, the receiver will store a 32-bit time stamp value along with the received ARINC word. There is one time stamp counter per module, and it is used across all 8 channels. It has 4 selectable resolutions and can be reset via the Time Stamp Control register. It is recommended to clear the Receive FIFOs whenever the Receive mode or Time Stamp Enable mode is changed to ensure that extraneous data is not leftover from a previous receive operation.
D7MATCH ENABLEWhen the MATCH ENABLE bit is set to 1, the receiver will only store ARINC words which match the SDI/Labels enabled in Rx Match memory.
D6PARITY DISABLEThe PARITY DISABLE bit when set to 0, causes ARINC bit 32 to be treated as an odd parity bit. The transmitter calculates the ARINC odd parity bit and transmits it as bit 32. The receiver will check the received ARINC word for odd parity and will flag an error if is not. When the PARITY DISABLE bit is set to 1, parity generation and checking will be disabled, and both the transmitter and receiver will treat ARINC bit 32 as data and pass it on unchanged.
D5HIGH SPEEDThe HIGH SPEED bit is used to select the data rate. 12.5 kHz = 0 + 100 kHz = 1
D4:D3TRANSMIT MODEThe TRANSMIT MODE bits are used to select the Transmit Mode. (0:0) = Immediate FIFO mode ` (0:1) = Schedule mode ` (1:0) = Triggered FIFO mode + (1:1) = Invalid mode
D2TRANSMIT ENABLEThe TRANSMIT ENABLE bit should be set after all transmit parameters have been set up. This is especially important in Immediate FIFO Transmit mode since this mode will start transmitting as soon as data is put into the Tx FIFO.
D1RECEIVE MODEThe RECEIVE MODE bit is used to select the storage mode (FIFO or Mailbox) of received messages. FIFO = 0
MBOX = 1
D0RECEIVER ENABLEThe RECEIVER ENABLE bit should be set after all receive parameters and filters have been set up. After setting this bit, the module will look for a minimum 4-bit gap time before decoding any ARINC bits to prevent it from receiving a partial ARINC word.
Module Reset
Function:Sends a command to reset the entire 12-channel module to power up conditions.
Type:unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Range:0 or 1
Read/Write:W
Initialized Value:0
Operational Settings:All FIFOs are cleared. However, it does not clear out any memories. Set D0 to 1 to reset the module then set to 0 to bring it out of reset.

ARINC 429/575 Test Registers

The AR1 function provides the ability to run an initiated test (IBIT). Writing a 1 to the bit associated with the channel in the Test Enabled register.

Test Enabled
Function:Set the bit corresponding to the channel you want to run Initiated Built-In-Test.
Type:unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Data Range:0 to 0x0000 0FFF
Read/Write:R/W
Initialized Value:0x0
Operational Settings:Set bit to 1 for channel to run an Initiated BIT test. Failures in the BIT test are reflected in the BIT Status registers for the corresponding channels that fail. In addition, an interrupt (if enabled in the BIT Interrupt Enable register) can be triggered when the BIT testing detects failures. Bit is self-clearing and does so upon completion of the test. Allow at least 3 ms per channel for the test enabled bits to clear after enabling. Note that running Initiated BIT test on a channel will interrupt operation of the channel and all FIFOs will get cleared. The system implementation should take this behavior into consideration.

Background BIT Threshold Programming Registers

The Background BIT Threshold register provides the ability to specify the minimum time before the BIT fault is reported in the BIT Status registers. The Reset BIT register provides the ability to reset the BIT counter used in CBIT.

Background BIT Threshold
Function:Sets background BIT Threshold value to use for all channels for BIT failure indication.
Data Range:1 to 65,535
Read/Write:R/W
Initialized Value:5
Operational Settings:This value represents the background BIT error “count” that, when surpassed, will cause the BIT status to indicate failure.
BIT Count Clear
Function:Resets the CBIT internal circuitry and count mechanism. Set the bit corresponding to the channel you want to clear.
Type:unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Data Range:0 to 0x0000 0FFF
Read/Write:W
Initialized Value:0
Operational Settings:Set bit to 1 for channel to resets the CBIT mechanisms. Bit is self-clearing.

Module Common Registers

Refer to “Module Common Registers Module Manual” for the register descriptions.

Status and Interrupt Registers

The AR1 function provides status registers for BIT and Channel.

Channel Status Enable
Function:Determines whether to update the status for the channels. Does NOT prevent BIT from executing; only prevents the update of results to the status registers. This feature can be used to “mask” status bit updates of unused channels in status registers that are bitmapped by channel.
Type:unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Data Range:0x0000 0000 to 0x0000 00FF (Channel Status)
Read/Write:R/W
Initialized Value:0x0000 00FF
Operational Settings:When the bit corresponding to a given channel in the Channel Status Enabled register is not enabled (0) the status update will be masked. This applies to all statuses that are bitmapped by channel (BIT Status and Summary Status).

Note

Background BIT will continue to run even if the Channel Status Enabled is set to 0.

Note

If latched status has been set for any channel bit, disabling the channel status update will NOT clear the latched status bit. To clear latched bits and disable their status updates, follow these steps:

  1. Disable channels in Channel Status Enable register.
  2. Read the Latched Status register.
  3. Clear the Latched Status register with the value read from step 2.
  4. Read the Latched Status register; should not read any errors (0) on channels that have been disabled.

BIT Status

There are four registers associated with the BIT Status: Dynamic, Latched, Interrupt Enable, and Set Edge/Level Interrupt.

BIT Status
Function:Sets the corresponding bit associated with the channel's BIT register.
Type:unsigned binary word (32-bit)
Data Range:0x0000 0000 to 0x000F FFFF
Read/Write:R (Dynamic), R/W (Latched, Interrupt Enable, Edge/Level Interrupt)

Channel Status

There are four registers associated with the Channel Status: Dynamic, Latched, Interrupt Enable, and Set Edge/Level Interrupt. Use this register to read current or real-time status. The Built-In-Test Error bit is latched and will stay set once an error is detected. It can be cleared by reading the BIT Status register. The Schedule Interrupt bit can be cleared by reading the Interrupt Status register when enabled or it can be cleared via the Channel Control register. See specific registers for function description and programming.

The Rx Data Available bit is set when the receive FIFO is not empty. The Rx FIFO Overflow bit will set whenever the receiver must discard data because the receive FIFO was full and new data was received. The Async Data Available bit in Channel Status also gets cleared by a Stop Cmd in a schedule or if a Transmit Stop command is issued from the Transmit Stop register. The Tx Run bit is set whenever the transmitter is executing a schedule or actively transmitting the contents of the transmit FIFO. The Tx Pause bit is set whenever the transmitter has been paused in schedule mode. Some events are NOT latched. They are dynamic.

Channel Status
Function:Sets the corresponding bit associated with the event type. There are separate registers for each channel.

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.

Note

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).

BIT REGISTERS
*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-to-clear, writing a “1” to a bit set to “1” will set the bit to “0).

INTERRUPT REGISTERS
The Interrupt Vector and Interrupt Steering registers are located on the Motherboard Memory Space and do not require any Module Address Offsets. These registers are accessed using the absolute addresses listed in the table below. NOTE: Vector/Steering 1-7, 9, & 28 are allocated for the Discrete I/O function; vector/steering 17-24 are allocated for the ARINC Function; vector/steering 1 is shared between the two functions

STATUS AND INTERRUPTS

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 edge-triggered 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.

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

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:Writes the window value (in microseconds) to be used for the User Watchdog Timer Frame.

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.

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.

Function:Sets the corresponding bit (D31) associated with the channel’s User Watchdog Timer Fault error.

Bit(s)StatusDescription
D31User Watchdog Timer Fault Status0 = No Fault + 1 = User Watchdog Timer Fault
D30:D0Reserved for Inter-FPGA Failure StatusChannel bit-mapped indicating channel inter FPGA communication failure detection.

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.

Note

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).

Module Sensor Registers

The registers listed in this section apply to each module sensor listed for the Module Sensor Summary Status register. Each individual sensor register provides a group of registers for monitoring module temperatures readings. From these registers, a user can read the current temperature of the sensor in addition to the minimum and maximum temperature readings since power-up. Upper and lower critical/warning temperature thresholds can be set and monitored from these registers. When a programmed temperature threshold is crossed, the Sensor Threshold Status register will set the corresponding bit for that threshold. The figure below shows the functionality of this group of registers when accessing the Interface Board PCB Temperature sensor as an example.

ENHANCED INPUT/OUTPUT FUNCTIONALITY CAPABILITY

The Enhanced Input/Output Functionality Capability is available on the following modules:

  • Differential Transceiver Modules

    • DF2 - 16 Channels Differential I/O
  • Discrete I/O Modules

    • DT4 - 24 Channels, Programmable for either input or output, output up to 500 mA per channel from an applied external 3 – 60 VCC source.
    • DT5 - 16 Channels, Programmable for either input voltage measurements (±80 V) or as a bi-directional current switch (up to 500 mA per channel).
    • DT6 - 4 Channels, Programmable for either input voltage measurements (±100 V) or as a bi-directional current switch (up to 3 A per channel).
  • TTL/CMOS Modules

    • TL2, TL4, TL6 and TL8 - 24 Channels, Programmable for either input or output.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The modules listed in Enhanced Input/Output Functionality Capability 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.

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.

Figure 1. Incoming Signal Example Used to illustrate Input Modes

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.

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.

Figure 2 - High Time Pulse Measurement Input Mode

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)
Time IntervalCalculationsHigh Time Pulse Measurements
11500 counts * 10 µsec = 15000 µsec = 15.0 msec15.0 msec
22500 counts * 10 µsec = 25000 µsec = 25.0 msec25.0 msec
31000 counts * 10 µsec = 10000 µsec = 10.0 msec10.0 msec
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.

Output Modes

There are three Enhanced Output Functionality modes: two PWM outputs and one Pattern Generator Output mode.

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.

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.

Figure 12. PWM Continuous Output (PWM Period = 15 msec, PWM Pulse Width = 10 msec, PWM Output Polarity = Positive (0))

Figure 13. PWM Continuous Output (PWM Period = 15 msec, PWM Pulse Width = 10 msec, PWM Output Polarity = Negative (1))

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.

Figure 14. PWM Burst Output (PWM Period = 15 msec, PWM Pulse Width = 10 msec, PWM Output Polarity = Positive (0), PWM Number of Cycles = 5)

Figure 15. PWM Burst Output (PWM Period = 15 msec, PWM Pulse Width = 10 msec, PWM Output Polarity = Negative (1), PWM Number of Cycles = 5)

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

FUNCTION REGISTER MAP

Key:

Configuration/Control
Status

*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-to-clear, writing a ‘1’ to a bit set to ‘1’ will set the bit to ‘0’).
