    1.1. Jasper Product Overview Jasper is a compact rugged single-board computer (SBC) utilizing a COM Express module to provide performance scalability, extended product lifetime, and a reduced footprint due to a stacked board configuration. The SBC is available with a choice of COMs that have been tested for compatibility, offering a range of Core i7 and Xeon processors from both 11th and 13th generation families.

    Jasper’s PCIe x1 port mapping is provided below. The number of lanes available depends on the COM module installed. Refer to the block diagrams and the selected COM for more details. The installed PCIe lane assignment on Jasper was designed to minimize the loss of features on COM that have fewer than 8 PCIe x1 lanes.

    5.6. Jasper supports 2 USB2.0 ports and 3 USB 3.0/USB 2.0 ports from the COM. 2x USB2.0 ports are routed to one 2x5 headers and 3x USB 3.0/USB2.0 ports are routed to three 2x5 headers. USB2.0 port 6 is muxed between minicard socket 1 and PCIe104 and can be selected using jumper configuration at JP3.

  • Page 24: Bus Interface

    6.3. Bus Interface Jasper uses LPC for bus interface. LPC lines LAD[3:0] communicate address, control, and data information over the LPC between a host a peripheral. The information communicated is start, stop (abort a cycle), transfer type (memory I/O), transfer direction (Read/Write), address, data, wait states and bus master grant. Not all cycle types use the LAD bus in the same fashion.

The interrupt routine is responsible for clearing the fault condition on the AD5755 to cause the fault pin to reset to 1. Jasper User Manual Ver 2.2 www.diamondsystems.com Page 25...

  • Page 26: A/D Circuit

    A/D Input Ranges and Resolution Jasper uses a 16-bit A/D converter. This means that the analog input voltage can be measured to the precision of a 16-bit binary number. The maximum value of a 16-bit binary number is 216 - 1, so the full range of numerical values that user can get from Jasper input channel is 0 - 65535.

  • Page 27: Conversion Formulas

    For a unipolar input range, 1 LSB = 1/65536 * Full-scale voltage. The table on the following illustrates the relationship between A/D code and input voltage for a unipolar input range (VFS = Full scale input voltage). Jasper User Manual Ver 2.2 www.diamondsystems.com Page 27...

  • Page 28: A/D Sampling Methods

    7.4.1. FIFO Description Jasper uses a 2048-sample FIFO (First In First Out) memory buffer to manage A/D conversion data. The FIFO is used to store A/D data between the time it is generated by the A/D converter and the time it is read by the user program.

  • Page 29: Scan Sampling

    Used for controlled-rate sampling a group of channels in low- Scans, Low speed mode (<500Hz per channel). Each sampling event consists of a group of channels sampled in rapid succession. Speed The time between scans is determined by the sample rate. Jasper User Manual Ver 2.2 www.diamondsystems.com Page 29...

  • Page 31: D/A Circuit

    5V output range, the span is 10V. Jasper uses straight binary coding for all output values; the range of output codes is 0-65535. The theoretical top value, 65536, requires 17 bits to be represented in binary form, which is unachievable in a 16-bit value.

  • Page 32: D/A Conversion Formulas And Tables

    In Bipolar output ranges, the D/A voltage will range from (– full scale voltage) to (+ full scale voltage - 1LSB). Thus, the full scale range is 2x the full scale voltage. 16-bit D/A: Jasper User Manual Ver 2.2 www.diamondsystems.com Page 32...

  • Page 33: Calibration

    All analog components contain inherent errors in offset and gain which affect the accuracy of the signals they generate. These errors are very small on Jasper; however they are still present and could present a problem for some high-precision applications. Calibration is used to correct these errors so that the actual output of the D/A channels is as close as possible to the theoretical output.

  • Page 34: Waveform Generator

    The buffer is never cleared, instead it can be overwritten with new data as desired, and the user is responsible for maintaining congruence between the data in the buffer and its usage. For a detailed description of the Waveform Generator registers please refer to the Jasper Software Driver manual.

    1111 = Reset the counter. If CCD0 = 0, then only the counter specified in register 4 is reset. If CCD0 = 1 then all counters are reset. Reset means all registers and settings are cleared to zero. For a more detailed register description please refer to the Jasper Software Driver manual. Jasper User Manual Ver 2.2 www.diamondsystems.com...

  • Page 37: Pulse Width Modulation

    Pulse Width Modulation Jasper supports 4 24-bit PWM circuits. The PWMs are programmed using a 24-bit PWM data register PWMD23- 0 and an 8-bit command register PWCMD3-0 + PWM2-0 + PWMCD. Each PWM consists of a pair of 24-bit down counters named C0 and C1. The C1 counter defines the duty cycle (active portion of the signal), and the C0 counter defines the period of the signal.
