DT3 I/O Modules Discrete IO - Multichannel,Programmable Function Modules

Discrete Output, 4-Channel, High Current (to 2 A)

The DT3 provides four isolated, high current & voltage (up to 2 A, 65 VDC) discrete output switching channels. Arranged and power sourced in channel pairs, the individual module channel(s) can control and switch load outputs for either single or dual power supply applications. With a single source power supply (VCC & GND), the channel(s) can be connected to a load and provide either hi-side (current source) or lo-side (current sink) discrete load current switching. With dual power supply sources (VCC & VSS), the channel(s) can be connected to a load to provide push-pull discrete load current switching (dual source current switching from both a positive and negative power supply).

INTRODUCTION

As a leading manufacturer of smart function modules, NAI offers over 100 different modules that cover a wide range of I/O, measurements and simulation, communications, Ethernet switch, and SBC functions. Our DT3 Discrete Output smart function module provides four isolated, high current and voltage (up to 2 A, 65 VDC) discrete output switching channels that can control and switch load outputs for either single or dual power supply applications. This user manual is designed to help you get the most out of our discrete I/O smart function modules.

DT3 Overview

NAI’s DT3 module offers a range of features designed to suit a variety of system requirements, including:

Four (4) Isolated, Independent Channels: The DT3 module provides four separate channels, each equipped with paired VCC and VSS source inputs, ensuring precise and independent control.

High Current Switching: With a maximum current rating of 2A (load dependent), the DT3 module is capable of high current switching, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

High Input Voltage Power Supply Range: The module supports a versatile power supply range, accommodating various voltage requirements:

  • With VCC & VSS dual source inputs, the DT3 accepts a wide range of input voltages from ±5 to ±35 VDC.
  • With a VCC single source input, the input voltage range extends from 5 to 65 VDC.

This power supply range versatility ensures compatibility with your specific setup.

Push-Pull Output Commands: Users can configure the DT3 module to operating in push-pull mode, enabling both current sourcing and sinking capabilities for increased operational flexibility.

Individual PWM Output Commands: The DT3 module offers individual Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) output commands with options for continuous or burst modes, allowing for the generation of precise PWM signals tailored to the user’s application needs.

Standard NAI COSA®: The module features a SerDes interface for seamless communication with the motherboard. With its standard 32-pin I/O pinout set, integration into existing systems is straightforward.

Built-In Test & Functions: The DT3 module comes equipped with built-in test and diagnostic functions, including:

  • Built-in capabilities for measuring input and output voltages, providing valuable diagnostic information.
  • Ability to monitor output currents to ensure the module is operating within specified limit.
  • Over-current protection, providing status information to prevent damage and ensure reliable operation.

These features make the monitoring and maintenance of the user’s system performance easier.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The DT3 provides 4 independent, isolated, high current (up to 2 A per channel) and voltage (±65 V for a single source power supply, ±35 V for a dual source power supply). This module includes diode clamping on each channel. Clamping is useful for inductive loads, such as relays and short circuit protection.

The 4 channels are galvanically isolated in pairs (VCC1/VSS1 for Ch.1/2, VCC2/VSS2 for Ch.3/4) from both system ground and from each other. With a single source power supply (VCC & GND), the channel(s) can connect to a load to provide high-side (current source) or low-side (current sink) discrete load current switching. With dual power supply sources (VCC and VSS), the channel(s) can connect to a load to provide push-pull discrete load current switching (dual source current switching from both a positive and negative power supply) with three states: drive high (VCC), drive low (VSS) or tristate (high-impedance). Current and Voltage measurements are available as both instantaneous (sampled) and averaged (RMS).

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.

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.

Channel Interface

Each channel contains a dual n-channel MOSFET pair configured as an 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 ~7mΩ on-impedance. The module contains circuitry to measure the current through, and the voltage present on the output pins.

PWM Output

There are two PWM output modes: continuous PWM and burst PWM. The PWM output is precise with low jitter. In PWM output mode, the PWM Burst Count register value determines whether the output will be a continuous or burst output. The value written to the PWM Period register specifies the period of the PWM output. The value written to the PWM Pulse Width register specifies the time in which the output will be driven ‘high’ (VCC), while the remainder of the period will be driven ‘low’ (VSS). For PWM Burst mode, a value greater than zero in the PWM Burst Count register specifies the number of cycles that will appear on the output when triggered.

Continuous PWM

Figure 1 and Figure 2 illustrate examples of continuous PWM outputs. The configured PWM output is enabled and disabled with the PWM Enable register.

PWM Burst

Figure 3 and Figure 4 illustrate examples of PWM burst outputs. The configured PWM output is enabled with the PWM Enable register. After the number of pulses that were requested is outputted, the value in the PWM Enable register will be reset (self-clearing) to allow for the output to be re-enabled.

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

The discrete module supports automatic background BIT testing that verifies channel health. The testing is transparent to the user, requires no external programming, and has no effect on the operation of the module. The background BIT (D2) checks the voltage at the output pin and compares that value with the VCC voltage (when driving high) or VSS voltage (when driving low). The compared values must match within a range of ±1 V. If they do not, a BIT fault will be set. 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, VCC/VSS undervoltage, VCC/VSS overvoltage, VCC/VSS surge suppressor fault, and FET driver overtemperature.

User Watchdog Timer Capability

Discrete Output Registers

Each channel can be configured for either commanded output or PWM mode. The PWM Period, PWM Pulse Width, and PWM Burst Count registers configure the PWM output characteristics.

Discrete Output Control Registers

The discrete output control registers provide the ability to specify the configuration of the bridge mode and the maximum/minimum voltage values for the VCC and VSS supplies. The discrete output channels are monitored to detect overcurrent conditions and will automatically disable the discrete output (set to high-impedance). In the event of an overcurrent condition, the discrete channel needs to be ‘reset’ by writing to the Overcurrent Reset register (the channel will also enter tristate mode upon detection of an overcurrent condition). The discrete Current Limit register provides the ability to set or change the threshold for overcurrent detection for each channel.

Note

When D0 Bit is set to 1, channels 1 and 2 operate as a full-bridge; when D1 Bit is set to 1, channels 3 and 4 operate as a full-bridge.

Note

When full-bridge mode is enabled, both channels in the pair MUST be configured to push-pull in Output Format, otherwise the channels in the pair will continue to operate as half-bridge.

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).

FUNCTION REGISTER MAP

Key:

Bold Italic = Configuration/Control

Bold Underline = State/Measurement/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).

  • Data is represented in Floating Point if Enable Floating Point Mode register is set to Floating Point Mode (1).

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.
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: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
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.

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
User Watchdog Timer Fault/Inter-FPGA Failure Dynamic Status
User Watchdog Timer Fault/Inter-FPGA Failure Latched Status
User Watchdog Timer Fault/Inter-FPGA Failure Interrupt Enable
User Watchdog Timer Fault/Inter-FPGA Failure Set Edge/Level Interrupt
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.

STATUS 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”).

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.
