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 enhanced function (EF) discrete I/O multichannel smart function modules provide the same interfacing solutions for almost embedded or test application (unparalleled programming flexibility, wide range of operating characteristics, unique design that eliminates the need for pull-up resistors or mechanical jumpers) as the standard function (SF) version. Additionally, the EF module adds built-in functionality to provide Pulse/Frequency Period Measurements of the incoming signal (input) and/or Pulse/Frequency arbitrary signal generation (output). This user manual is designed to help you get the most out of our discrete I/O smart function modules.

DT4 Overview

NAI’s DT4 module offers a range of features designed to suit a variety of system requirements, including:

24 Channels of Programmable Discrete Input/Output: The DT4 module features 24 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 module 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 module 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 module 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 module 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 module 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.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

DT4 provides up to 24 individual digital I/O channels 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 24 channels are configured as 4 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.

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 MidRange Voltage statuses for threshold signal transitioning.

Status and Interrupts

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

Enhanced Functionality

The DT4 Module provides enhanced input and output mode functionality. For incoming signals (inputs), the DT4 enhanced modes include Pulse Measurements, Transition Timestamps, Transition Counters, Period Measurement and Frequency Measurement. For outputs, the DT4 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.

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 (Ch1-16 and Ch17-24) 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.

Read/Write: R

Initialized Value: N/A

Operational Settings:

Integer Mode: LSB is 3.0 mA. Value is signed binary 16-bit word. Read as 2’s complement value for positive and negative current readings. 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 l vel 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.

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).

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0 to 1

Read/Write: R

Initialized Value: 0

Operational Settings: Indicates the whether the module registers are in Integer (0) or Floating Point Mode (1). When the Enable Floating Point Mode is modified, the application must wait until this register’s value matches the requested mode before changing the values of the configuration and control registers with the values in the units specified (Integer or Floating Point).

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)

Interrupt Vector and Status

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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’).

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.
