IP-Pulse


IP-Pulse



IP-Pulse Block Diagram - TTL/CMOS outputs


The IndustryPack compatible IP-Pulse features 4 independent programmable pulse generators. The outputs can be configured to be TTL /CMOS or RS422/485 compatible in several combinations. A real space saver for systems with both types of IO. Perfect for your embedded control applications. Please download the manual [see bottom of page] for more information.

Each channel is programmable and has an independent register set [Time ON, Time OFF, Pulse Control, and Shift]. The output waveform is based on a 50 MHz reference. The time between pulses "time off" and the width of each pulse "time on" is controlled with 28 [27-0] bit registers for an effective range of nS to seconds. Each channel can be configured to operate as a free running reference or to output a specific number of pulses. The pulse count has a 24 [23-0] bit register. An additional register contains the SHIFT time which is used to add a phase shift between two or more channels. The registers can be updated on-the-fly to simulate the frequency changes and phase shifts seen in sensors.



Outputs in TTL mode are driven with 64 mA open-drain devices to allow multi-drop applications. 470 ohm pull-up resistors are provided. In 485 mode individual transceivers configured as drivers are utilized. The RS485 devices are rated at 40 MHz.

Interrupts are supported. When a programmed count completes a programmable interrupt can be generated. When a pulse is output an interrupt can be generated. The channels have individual controls. The status register provides the channels which are causing the interrupt request. The status is held until explicitly cleared by the software.


IP Pulse Features


  • Progammability
    		•  Each of the 4 pulse generators are programmable with period, pulse width, sense, interrupts, phase shift amount, and pulse count.

  • Size
    		•  Single wide IP.

  • IO Configuration
    		•  Outputs can be configured as single ended with open drain 64mA drivers and 470 ohm pull-ups or dfferential pairs.

  • Interface
    		•  BCT open drain drivers with 64mA current sink or 40 MHz rated 485 transceivers

  • Synchronization
    		•  Outputs can be synchronized to start with a master enable. Synchronization can be disabled.

  • Pull-up Resistor
    		•  470 standard, 1K, 4.7K available

  • Cable interface
    		•  IndustryPack standard IO

  • Software Interface
    		•  16 bit registers . Read-write of most control registers for card configuration.

  • Interrupts
    		•  Master enable for data channels. Separate enable for each data channel. Interrupt at end of programmed operation or on each pulse. Status register with current interrupt request status. Interrupts are mapped to INTR0n on IP bus. Master enable can be disabled to allow polled operation.

  • Power Requirement
    		•  +5V. Approximately 52 mA typical unloaded.

  • Protection
    		•  All IO Channels are protected with current limiting resistors.

  • Custom
    		•  Send in your specifications and we can quote a custom version for you






    IP Pulse Benefits

  • Speed
    		•  Direct mapped IO, efficient IP interface, and dual IP bus speed compatibility provide an optimised interface.

  • Price
    		•  The IP-Pulse is inexpensive and can save money in other ways too. The IP Pulse can take the place of other IPs with its combination of TTL, and 485; save slots, save money, save time.

  • Ease of Use
    		•  The IP-Pulse is easy to use. A point and shoot user interface. Please download the manual and see for yourself. The engineering kit provides a good starting point for a new user.

  • Availability
    		•  The IP-Pulse is a popular design. We keep the IP-Pulse in stock. Send in your order and in most cases have your hardware the next day - delivered to you via FedEx.

  • Size
    		•  The IP-Pulse is a standard size IP module. Combining four pulse generators with different output types in one can make it the equivalent of 4 IP cards in one slot. A customized version could do even more to reduce your system size.

  • IP Compatibility
    		•  The IP-Pulse is IP compliant per the VITA 4 - 1995 specification. All Dynamic Engineering IP Modules are compatible with the PCI3IP, PCI5IP, cPCI2IP, cPCI4IP and other Dynamic Engineering designed carriers. The IP-Pulse will also be compatible with other carriers which are compliant with the VITA specification.
