The internal timer/counter 8254 on the PCI-7200 is configured as above diagram (figure 2.4). User can use it to generate the timer pacer for both digital input and digital output trigger.

The digital input timer pacer is from OUT0 (Timer 0), and the digital output timer pacer is from OUT1 (Timer 1). Besides, Timer 0 and

Timer 2 can be cascaded together to generate more timer pacer frequency for digital input. Also, the Timer 2 can be cascaded with

Timer 1 for digital output.

pacer rate = 4 MHz / ( C0 * C2) if Timer 0 & Timer 2 are cascaded pacer rate = 4 MHz / C0 if timer 0 & Timer 2 are not cascaded

The maximum pacer signal rate of input and output are

4MHz/2=2Mhz. The minimum signal rate is 4MHz/65535/65535, which is a very slow frequency that user may never use it.

For example, if you wish to get a pacer rate 2.5 kHz, you can set

C0 = 40 and C2 = 40. That is

2.5KHz = 4Mhz / (40 x 40)

Interrupt Control:

In PCI-7200, the interrupt can be triggered by many signal sources such as O_ACK, I_REQ, timer 0, timer 1, and timer 2.

The interrupt source is controlled by the following bits:

IO_ACK: Interrupt is triggered by O_ACK signal.

1: O_ACK interrupt is enabled

0: O_ACK interrupt is disabled

II_REQ: Interrupt is triggered by I_REQ signal.

1: I_REQ interrupt is enabled

0: No timer 1 Interrupt

SI_T2: Status of timer 2 interrupt

1: OUT2 (output of timer 2) interrupt occurred

0: No timer 2 Interrupt

Note: All the interrupt status can be cleared by writing 1 to the corresponding bit of the register. In order to make the interrupt work properly, the interrupt service routine has to clear all the interrupt status before end of the ISR.

Timer Configuration Control:

The 8254 timer on the PCI-7200 can be configured as either timer 0 cascaded with timer 2 or timer 1 cascaded with timer2.

These configuration are controlled by the following bits:

T0_T2: Timer 0 is cascaded with timer 2

1: Timer 0 and timer 2 are cascaded together, output of timer 2 connects to the clock input of timer 0.

0: Not cascaded, the 4 MHz clock is connected to the timer 0 clock input.

T1_T2: Timer 1 is cascaded with timer 2

1: Timer 1 and timer 2 are cascaded together, output of timer 2 connects to the clock input of timer 1.

0: latch input data on rising edge of I_REQ

FIFO Control and Status (cPCI-7200 only):

The cPCI-7200 has an extra 2K samples digital input FIFO.

The FIFO can be cleared and monitored by the following bits:

FIFORST (Write only): Clear the on-board DI FIFO

1: Write 1 to clear the data of the FIFO.

0: No operation.

FIFOEF (Read only): Empty flag of the DI FIFO

1: DI FIFO is empty.

0: DI FIFO is not empty.

FIFOFF (Read only): Full flag of the DI FIFO

1: DI FIFO is full.

0: DI FIFO is not full.

Note: The cPCI-7200 has 2 cascaded DI FIFOs. One is located in the PCI controller chip, the other one is on the PCI-

7200 board. The above bits only control the on-board FIFO. In order to control the on-chip FIFO, please refer to the AMCC-

Operation Theorem

In PCI-7200, there are four data transfer modes can be used for digital

I/O access and control, these modes are:

1. Direct Program Control: the digital inputs and outputs can be read/written and controlled by its corresponding I/O port address directly.

2. Internal Timer Pacer Mode: the digital input and output operations are paced by internal timer pacer and transferred by bus mastering DMA.

3. External Clock Mode: the digital input operation is clocked by external I_REQ strobe and transferred by bus mastering DMA.

4. Handshaking: through REQ and ACK signals, the digital I/O can have simple handshaking data transfer.

4.1 Direct Program Control

The digital I/O operations can be controlled by I/O port BASE+10 for digital input and BASE+14 for digital output.

The I/O port address BASE is assigned by system BIOS, please refer to Section 5 for more detailed description.

Operation Theorem

••

23

The digital OUT operation is: outport (BASE+14, 0xAAAAAAAA ) // (A : 0 ~ F)

The digital IN operation is:

value = inport (BASE+10) // The input status is save in the

// value variable

4.2 Timer Pacer Mode

The digital I/O access control is clocked by timer pacer, which is generated by a interval programming timer/counter chip 8254.

There are three timers on the 8254. The timer 0 is used to generate timer pacer for digital input, and timer 1 is used for digital output. The configuration is illustrated as below.

Operation Theorem

The operation sequences are:

1. Define the frequency (timer pacer rate)

2. The digital input data are saved in FIFO after a timer pacer pulse is generated. The sampling is controlled by timer pacer.

3. The data saved in FIFO will be transferred to main memory of your computer system directly and automatically. This is controlled by bus mastering DMA control, this function is supported by PCI controller chip.

4.3 External Clock Mode

The digital input is clocked by external strobe, which is from the Pin

19 (I_REQ) of CN2 (PCI-7200) or Pin 24 of CN1 (cPCI-7200). The operation sequence is very similar to Timer Pacer Trigger. The only difference is the clock source.

1. The external input strobe is generated from outside device, and go through the Pin 19 (I_REQ) of CN2 and to latch the digital input.

2. The digital input data are saved in FIFO after an I/O strobe signal is coming in.

3. The data saved in input FIFO will be transferred to main memory on your computer system directly. This is controlled by bus mastering DMA control, this function is supported by PCI

4.4 Handshaking

In PCI-7200, it also supports a handshaking digital I/O transfer mode. That is, after input data is ready, an I_REQ is sent form external device, and I_ACK will go high to acknowledge the data already accessed.

I_REQ & I_ACK for Digital Input

1. Digital Input Data is ready

2. An I_REQ signal is generated for digital input operation

3. Digital input data is saved to FIFO

4. An I_ACK signal is generated and sent to outside device

5. If the FIFO is not empty and PCI bus is not occupied, the data will be transferred to main memory

2. Move output data from FIFO to digital output circuit.

3. Output data is ready.

4. An O_REQ signal is generated and sent to outside device.

5. After an O_ACK is got, the step 2 to step 5 will be repeated again.

5.18 _7200_DI_DMA_Start

@ Description

The function will perform digital input N times with DMA data transfer by using one of the following four sampling modes :

1. pacer trigger (internal timer trigger)

2. external rising edge I_IRQ

3. external falling edge I_IRQ

4. I_REQ & I_ACK handshaking

It will take place in the background which will not stop until the Nth input data is transferred or your program execute

_7200_DI_DMA_Stop function to stop the process.

After executing this function, it is necessary to check the status of the operation by using the function _7200_DI_DMA_Status. The PCI-

7200 Bus mastering DMA is different from traditional PC style DMA.

Its description is as follow :

Bus Mastering DMA mode of PCI-7200 :

PCI bus mastering offers the highest possible speed available on the

PCI-7200. When the function _7200_DI_DMA_Start is executed, it will enable PCI bus master operation. This is conceptually similar to

DMA (Direct Memory Access) transfers in a PC but is really PCI bus mastering. It does not use an 8237-style DMA controller in the host computer and therefore isn't blocked in 64K max. groups. PCI-7200 bus mastering works as follows:

1. To set up bus mastering, first do all normal PCI-7200 initialization necessary to control the board in status mode.

This includes testing for the presence of the PCI BIOS, determining the base addresses, slot number, vendor and device ID's, I/O or memory, space allocation, etc. Please make sure your PCI-7200 is plug in a bus master slot, otherwise this function will not be workable.

52

••

C/C++ & DLL Libraries

2. Load the PCI controller with the count and 32-bit physical address of the start of previously allocated destination memory which will accept data. This count is the number of

bytes (not long words!) transferred during the bus master operation and can be a large number up to 64 million (2^26) bytes. Since the PCI-7200 transfers are always long words, this is 16 million long words (2^24).

3. After the input sampling is started, the input data is stored in the FIFO of PCI controller. Each bus mastering data transfer continually tests if any data in the FIFO and then blocks transfer, the system will continuously loop until the conditions are satisfied again but will not exit the block transfer cycle if

the block count is not complete. If there is momentarily no input data, the PCI-7200 will relinquish the bus temporarily but returns immediately when more input data appear. This operation continues until the whole block is done.

4. This operation proceeds transparently until the PCI controller transfer byte count is reached. All normal PCI bus operation applies here such as a receiver which cannot accept the transfers, higher priority devices requesting the PCI bus, etc.

Remember that only one PCI initiator can have bus mastering at any one time. However, review the PCI priority and

"fairness" rules. Also study the effects of the Latency Timer.

And be aware that the PCI priority strategy (round robin rotated, fixed priority, custom, etc.) is unique to your host PC and is explicitly not defined by the PCI standard. You must determine this priority scheme for your own PC (or replace it).

5. The interrupt request from the PCI controller can be optionally set up to indicate that this loanword count is complete although this can also be determined by polling the PCI controller.

Double Buffer Mode Principle

The data buffer for double-buffered DMA DI operation is a circular buffer logically. It logically divided into two equal halves.

The double-buffered DI begins when device starts writing data into the first half of the circular buffer (Figure 6-1a). After device begins writing to the second half of the circular buffer, you can copy the data from the first half into the transfer buffer (Figure 6-

1b). You now can process the data in the transfer buffer according to application needs. After the board has filled the second half of the circular buffer, the board returns to the first half buffer and overwrites the old data. You now can copy the second half of the circular buffer to the transfer buffer (Figure 6-

1c). The data in the transfer buffer is again available for process.

The process can be repeated endlessly to provide a continuous stream of data to your application (Figure 6-1d).

Figure 6-1

The PCI-7200 double buffer mode functions were designed according to the principle described above. If you use

_7200_DblBufferMode() to enable double buffer mode, the following _7200_DI_DMA_Start() will perform double-buffered

DMA DI. You can call _7200_CheckHalfReady() to check if data in the circular buffer is half full and ready for copying to the transfer buffer. Then you can call _7200_DblBufferTransfer() to copy data from the ready half buffer to the transfer buffer.

In Win-95 version, W_7200_Alloc_DBDMA_Mem() is needed to allocates a contiguous DMA memory for the circular buffer. The buf_size argument of W_7200_Alloc_DBDMA_Mem() is the half size of circular buffer in byte, that is, the size of each half buffer in byte. The DMA memory is referenced by the return parameter handle. This memory is system memory, users are not allowed to access it directly.

Limitation

1. The 12 MB/sec data transfer rate can only be possibly achieved in a system in which the PCI-7200 card is the only device using the bus, but the speed can not be guaranteed due to the limited FIFO depth.

2. PCI-7200 supports three input clock modes, internal clock, external clock, and handshaking modes. The first two modes cannot guarantee the input data integrity in high speed data rate because of the limited FIFO depth and the

PCI-bus latency variation. The handshaking mode is the only mode that data integrity can be guaranteed. In handshaking mode, you can expect 12 MB/sec data rate in average but the speed is not guaranteed.

3. The guaranteed data rate with internal clock or external clock mode is 1MB/sec in a machine that PCI-7200 card is the only device using the bus.

4. The largest transfer size (in bytes) PCI-7200 can perform is

64 Mega.

A.1 The Intel (NEC) 8254

The Intel (NEC) 8254 contains three independent, programmable, multi-mode 16 bit counter/timers. The three independent 16 bit counters can be clocked at rates from DC to 5 MHz. Each counter can be individually programmed with 6 different operating modes by appropriately formatted control words. The most commonly uses for the 8254 in microprocessor based system are:

• programmable baud rate generator

• event counter

• binary rate multiplier

• real-time clock

• digital one-shot

• motor control

A.3 Mode Definition

In 8254, there are six different operating modes can be selected.

The they are :

Mode 0 : interrupt on terminal count

The output will be initially low after the mode set operation.

After the count is loaded into the selected count register, the output will remain low and the counter will count. When terminal count is reached, the output will go high and remain high until the selected count register is reloaded with the mode or a new count is loaded. The counter continues to decrement after terminal count has been reached.

8254 Programmable Interval Time

••

77

Rewriting a counter register during counting results in the following:

(1) Write 1st byte stops the current counting.

(2) Write 2nd byte starts the new count.

Mode 1 : Programmable One-Shot.

The output will go low on the count following the rising edge of the gate input. The output will go high on the terminal count. If a new count value is loaded while the output is low it will not affect the duration of the one-shot pulse until the succeeding trigger. The current count can be read at anytime without affecting the one-shot pulse.

The one-shot is re-triggerable, hence the output will remain low for the full count after any rising edge of the gate input.

Mode 2 : Rate Generator.

Divided by N counter. The output will be low for one period of the input clock. The period from one output pulse to the next equals the number of input counts in the count register. If the count register is reloaded between output pulses the present period will not be affected, but the subsequent period will reflect the new value.

The gate input when low, will force the output high. When the gate input goes high, the counter will start form the initial count. Thus, the gate input can be used to synchronized by software.

When this mode is set, the output will remain high until after the count register is loaded. The output then can also be synchronized by software.

Mode 3 : Square Wave Rate Generator.

Similar to MODE 2 except that the output will remain high until one half the count has been completed (or even numbers) and go low for the other half of the count. This is accomplished by decrement the counter by two on the falling edge of each clock pulse. When the counter reaches terminal count, the state of the output is changed and the counter is reloaded with the full count and the whole process is repeated.

if the count is odd and the output is high, the first clock pulse

(after the count is loaded) decrements the count by 1.

Subsequent clock pulses decrement the clock by 2 after timeout, the output goes low and the full count is reloaded. The first clock pulse (following the reload) decrements the counter by 3. Subsequent clock pulses decrement the count by 2 until time-out. Then the whole process is repeated. In this way, if the count is odd, the output will be high for (N + 1)/2 counts and low for (N - 1)/2 counts.

In Modes 2 and 3, if a CLK source other then the system clock is used, GATE should be pulsed immediately following

Way Rate of a new count value.

Mode 4 : Software Triggered Strobe.

After the mode is set, the output will be high. When the count is loaded, the counter will begin counting. On terminal count, the output will go low for one input clock period, then will go high again.

If the count register is reloaded during counting, the new count will be loaded on the next CLK pulse. The count will be inhibited while the GATE input is low.

Mode 5 : Hardware Triggered Strobe.

The counter will start counting after the rising edge of the trigger input and will go low for one clock period when the terminal count is reached. The counter is re-triggerable. the output will not go low until the full count after the rising edge of any trigger.
