INTRODUCTION

This module manual provides information about the North Atlantic Industries, Inc. (NAI) Differential Transceiver Function Module: DF1, Standard Functionality (SF). This module is compatible with all NAI Generation 5 motherboards.

The DF1 Differential Transceiver 32-Bit module provides 16 individual RS-422/RS-485 I/O channels that are programmable as either Inputs or Outputs. Differential transceivers increase resistance to noise by creating two complementary signals. These complementary signals produced on balanced lines double noise immunity by creating lower power requirements due to lower supply voltages.

FEATURES

• 16 channels available as inputs or outputs

• Programmable for fast or slow slew rates

• Programmable debounce circuitry with selectable time delay eliminates false signals resulting from relay contact bounce (pending)

• Built-in test runs in background constantly monitoring system health for each channel

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

DF1 channels 1 through 16 may be set as inputs or outputs. When programmed as inputs, status and/or interrupts are enabled for each channel to indicate transition on rising edge or transition on falling edge or both as well as BIT fault. Each channel has a selectable internal 120-ohm internal resistor across its inputs.

When programmed as outputs, if an overcurrent condition is detected, the channel will be reset to input mode. All outputs are continually scanned “real-time”, for present status. Debounce circuits for each channel offer a selectable time delay to eliminate false signals resulting from contact bounce commonly experienced with mechanical relays and switches.

Each channel can also be programmed for fast or slow slew rates (slow slew rate may be desirable for certain sensitive EMI radiated transmission line applications).

Debounce Programming

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. 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 module contains automatic background BIT testing that verifies channel processing (data read or write logic), tests for overcurrent conditions and provides status for threshold signal transitioning.

Any failure triggers an Interrupt (if enabled) with the results available in status registers. The testing is totally transparent to the user, requires no external programming and has no effect on the operation of this card. It can be enabled or disabled via the bus (see further details in register description), and continually checks that each channel is functional. 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. Low-toHigh and High-to-Low logic transitions are indicated.

There is no independent overcurrent detection. Instead, the BIT detection circuitry is used to infer an overcurrent condition if the output state setting doesn’t match the readback value seen by the input circuitry. For example, a shorted output, causing the read state to be opposite from the expected value would trigger this. If the fault persists beyond the BIT interval stabilization time, the overcurrent protection will kick in and reset the drive output by returning the transceiver to input mode. 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.

User Watchdog Timer Fault Status

The Digital I/O Module provides registers that support User Watchdog Timer capability. Refer to “User Watchdog Timer Module Manual” for the User Watchdog Timer Fault Status register descriptions.

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).

*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’).

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.


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.

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:Writes the window value (in microseconds) to be used 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

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.
