Section 2 Theory of Operation VECTOR OUTPUT I/O MODULE OVERVIEW The 9100A-017 Vector Output I/O Module adds 40 lines of input and high-speed output capability to the 9100A/9105A mainframe. Up to four Vector Output I/O Modules may be connected to the mainframe for a maximum of 160 channels of vector output and stimulus measurement.

2/Theory of Operation vector drive status register. six-pin jack for control signals for vector driving. The Top PCA is used primarily for vector output, although it also provides the 40-channel input signals, Clip Module Connector Code, and ready button signals to the input section on the Main PCA. It also generates the Capture Clock (available as an input sync mode).
2/Theory of Operation INPUT SECTION THEORY OF OPERATION NOTE All of the input section circuitry is located on the Main PCA unless otherwise indicated. Mainframe to Bus Interface Functional Block The bus interface block connects the 9100A/9105A mainframe microprocessor bus to the Vector Output I/O Module. The module is a memory-mapped device, with all control performed by writing to the module memory space.
2/Theory of Operation shows the third least significant digit of the 5-digit hex module address broken down into binary format. The position of the set bit(s) determines the module(s) to be addressed. The Vector Output I/O Module bus interface timing diagram (Figure 2-6) shows the signals contained in the bus interface block during a read and write cycle.
2/Theory of Operation Figure 2-4. Address Decoding Example low. U6 decodes the latched address lines and sets output line AD8- low. The logic low on AD8- is gated through U5 and sets up a logic low on CS0-, thereby enabling custom chip U100. To select custom chip U100 on Module 3, the address $D0481 is used.
2/Theory of Operation Figure 2-5. Hot-Bit Decoding Examples connected to the data bus via U8. Eleven internal registers control each custom chip. These registers are in turn controlled by address lines A1 through A3 and the R/W- line. The pin-out of the custom chip is shown in Table 2-1. Clock and Enable Mux Functional Block The Clock and Enable Mux block is located on the Main PCA and is shown in the Input Section Functional Block Diagram, Figure 2-1.
2/Theory of Operation Figure 2-6. Bus Interface Timing Diagram The Clock and Enable Mux block enable sources include BUFENABLE, a signal that originates from the external ENABLE synchronization line, and PSYN (described in the previous paragraph). The CALCLK2 signal enters the Main PCA through the Connector Code block.

The ICs in this block include: a 74HC273 8-Bit Latch (U14), an LM324 Quad Op-Amp (U2), two 2N3906 PNP transistors (Ql, Q2), a 74HC08 Quad 2-Input AND Gate (U3), a 74LS30 8-Input NAND Gate (U15), two 74LS112 Dual JK Negative-Edge-Triggered Flip-Flops (U11, U12), a 74HCT32...
2/Theory of Operation the module Main PCA protects the ground line. The FUSEDET signal becomes an input to the interrupt register (U13-8), along with the other detection signals. DATA COMPARISON AND GENERAL INTERRUPTS The General Control Latch block outputs detection and interrupt signals for any problems or special operations of the module.
2/Theory of Operation Threshold Voltage Generation Threshold Voltage Generation produces the threshold voltages necessary for the custom chips to classify input logic levels. Data bit 7 of the command register (U14) determines the level of the threshold, with a 1 selecting TTL, and a 0 for CMOS.
2/Theory of Operation together provide a regulated output with high current sinking capability. Typical current seen by these regulators can vary from 10 to 40 mA. The approximate VHI and VLO levels generated are listed in Table 2-3. Table 2-3. VHI and VLO for TTL and CMOS Logic Levels _____________________________________________________________ DESC...
2/Theory of Operation the full-size module plugs into both connectors (both J1 and J2 on the Top PCA). Together, the clip(s) plugged into both J1 and J2 of the Top PCA generate an 8-bit code that can be decoded by the mainframe to identify the size of the installed clip module(s).

2/Theory of Operation Internal Oscillator Control Functional Block The Vector Output I/O Module contains a 1, 5, 10, and 20MHz internal clock source that is available for vector driving. The desired clock can be selected by writing to Drive Register 2 (U25) of the Main PCA ($DOX21) and specifying bits 1 and 0.
2/Theory of Operation the LOAD-RAM-HI- and LOAD-RAM-LO- signals that control the Vector RAM Address Functional Block. For more information on the available addresses and the signals they affect, see Table 2-6. Table 2-8 illustrates the U5 register bits used by the Output Control Functional Block.
2/Theory of Operation module output to an unchanging state. There are two methods by which the Vector Pattern RAM and the Vector Control RAM can be selected: To drive vectors, the DRV/LD- signal must be set high by performing a write to the U5 register 0 ($D0X01) with bit 3 set high. This causes all outputs of U11 (BYTE0- through BYTE9-) and the BYTE10- output of U10 to be low, thereby selecting all vector RAM.
2/Theory of Operation determines if the vector drive clock should be always enabled or if the external ENABLE should be used. Bit 2 determines if the vector output should be “force” started (no external start required) or if the external START is required. Bit 1 determines if the external STOP signal should terminate vector driving or not.
2/Theory of Operation SSGATE- on U12 pin 6 provides the qualifying signal to the clock. In order to have the clock qualified, the following conditions must be met: U12 pin 1 must be high. This line insures that a start has been received, either by the FOR-START- line being low or by the STRP signal having the programmed edge on the external START line.
2/Theory of Operation VECTOR DRIVE COMPLETE LOGIC There are two different mechanisms for controlling the completion of vector driving, both of which are selected by the vector file in use. The Vector Drive Complete circuitry consists of a 74AC02 NOR Gate (U20), a 74ACT86 Exclusive OR Gate (U17), a 74ACT74 D Flip-flop (U16), and a 74AC08 AND Gate (U19).
2/Theory of Operation Vector Address Functional Block The Vector RAM Address Registers U1 and U2 are loaded by the following procedure: The least significant byte (LSB) and the most significant byte (MSB) of the address are loaded into U4 and U3 by performing writes to $D0X71 and $D0X61 respectively, and then writing $D0X01 with bit 7 low and then high, toggling the LOAD-RAM- signal and parallel loading the address.
2/Theory of Operation The Vector Control RAM Functional Block consists of an 8K x 8 SRAM (U600), a 74AC273 Octal D-Type Flip-Flop (U601), a resistor pack (Z600), and one 74AC08 AND gate (U19). The Z600 resistor pack provides isolation from the D-BUS data bus. When only U600 has been selected to be written to, the data on the bus passes through Z600 and is input to U600.
2/Theory of Operation step is repeated for the other byte (either the MSB or the LSB). Finally, another write is made to $D0X21 with bit 2 set that releases the clear on U28. When a vector file is driven, on the vector prior to the one designated by the ENDLOOP statement on the vector file the LOOP output (U601-5) goes high.
