Product Description PMC-4U-CACI is part of the PMC Module family of modular I/O components by Dynamic Engineering. The PMC-4U is capable of providing multiple serial protocols both synchronous and asynchronous with a wide range of baud rates. The CACI interface uses an RS-423 driver, an RS-422 driver, and an RS-422 receiver for each UART channel. Two enhanced hysteresis MIL STD 188-114A receivers, a MIL STD 188-114A driver, and an open drain active low output driver for one synchronous channel

An EXAR XR16C854 implements the UART interface. This quad UART device is compatible with the industry standard 16550 UART, but is equipped with 128 byte FIFOs, independent Tx and Rx FIFO counters, automatic hardware/software flow control, and many other enhanced features. An 18.432 MHz oscillator supplies the reference clock for this device allowing baud rates up to 1.152 Mbps. The synchronous interface uses a Zilog Serial Communication Controller, the Z85C30. This dual channel, multi-protoco

There is also a master interrupt enable that can be set to gate the interrupt onto the PCI bus. The interrupt status is still available in a status register even when the master interrupt enable is off. This facilitates polled operation of interrupt conditions. The individual interrupt conditions are specified in the internal registers of the UART and SCC. Please see the XR16C854 and Z85C30 documentation for more information on interrupt conditions and configuration. Hardware and Softwar

Theory of Operation The PMC-4U is designed for transferring data from one point to another with a variety of serial protocols. The PMC-4U features a Xilinx FPGA. The FPGA contains the general control and status registers as well as the interface to the quad UART, SCC, and IO drivers and receivers. Many additional control and status registers reside in the UART and SCC, which are accessed through the Xilinx interface. The PMC-4U is a part of the PMC Module family of modular I/O products. It meets

Programming Programming the PMC-4U requires only the ability to read and write data from the host. The base address is determined by the PMC Carrier board. The base address refers to the first user address for the slot in which the PMC is installed. Depending on the software environment it may be necessary to set-up the system software with the PMC-4U "registration" data. For example in WindowsNT there is a system registry, which is used to identify the resident hardware. The PMC-4U VendorId =

PMC4U_SCC_IVEC [0X0C] PMC-4U SCC Interrupt Acknowledge/Vector Read A read from this address causes the SCC interrupt acknowledge signal to be asserted. If an interrupt condition exists in the SCC, it will respond by placing an interrupt vector on the local data bus. This vector is specified by the user and, depending on the state set in the SCC registers, may contain status information about the cause of the interrupt.

Parallel termination resistors are supplied on each differential pair along with a switch to allow the user to select which lines are terminated and where. In some systems it will make sense to terminate the lines in the cable and in others it will make sense to use the onboard terminations.

In order to access a register other than this base register, the register number is first written to this address. A subsequent read or write will read from or write to the desired register. After this process is completed, the pointers are reset so that the base register is once again accessed. See the Z85C30 documentation for more information on this proce
