This section describes how to use the Watchdog Timer, including disabled, enabled, and trigger functions. The TCD-N2600-C2G2-2 is equipped with a programmable time-out period watchdog timer. You can use your own program to Enabled the watchdog timer. Once you have enabled the watchdog timer, the program should trigger the I/O every time before the timer times out.
Watchdog Timer Setting The watchdog timer is a circuit that may be used from your program software to detect system crashes or hang-ups. The watchdog timer is automatically disabled after reset. Once you have enabled the watchdog timer, your program must trigger the watchdog timer every time before it times out.
Watchdog Timer Enabled To enable the watchdog timer, you have to output a byte of timer factor to the watchdog register whose address is 2eh and data port is 2fH. The following is an Assemble program, which demonstrates how to enable the watchdog timer and set the time-out period at 28 seconds.
Watchdog Timer Trigger After you enable the watchdog timer, your program must write the same factor as enabling to the watchdog register at least once every time-out period to its previous setting. You can change the time-out period by writing another timer factor to the watchdog register at any time, and you must trigger the watchdog before the new time-out period in next trigger.
Digital I/O programming The following is an Assembly program, which demonstrates how to read and write the data of GPIO. ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; Configuration the Digital IO port is 50Ch, and Bit2, Bit3, Bit4, Bit5 ; Bit3/Bit2 (GPO-0 ~ GPO-1 Write data port) When set to a “1”, respective GPO port is programmed as ‘High’.
Isolation Defined Memory Mapping And Interrupt The CANBUS occupies 2 bytes of TCD-N2600-C2G2-2 memory space. You can set the base address and access to the internal resources of the SJA1000 CAN controller chip. The SJA1000 chip access is multiplexed in such a way that the host...
Example Programming Write 300H to the CAN controller Control byte located in the on-chip address 0.The Example is listed below: Outportb (0x300,0x00) ; Write CAN Address 0 (Control Register ) Outportb (0x301,0x78) ; Write Data of CAN Address 0 (Control Register ) Note: In the DRIVER/CANBUS/SJA1000 directory a demo file is included to provide CAN control information and Turbo-C DEMO program.

Serial Ports The ACEs (Asynchronous Communication Elements ACE1 to ACE2) are used to convert parallel data to a serial format on the transmit side and convert serial data to parallel on the receiver side. The serial format, in order of transmission and reception, is a start bit, followed by five to eight data bits, a parity bit (if programmed) and one, one and half (five-bit format only) or two stop bits.
