FPGA Programmer

(110) Program DAC

This block will have a substate to obtain the programming mask. It then loops 32 (or 24 or 16) times on a second substate that obtains the next programming value and, if the corresponding mask bit is high, programs that channel of the DAC. A mux may be needed to select the appropriate bit from the programming mask. It also updates the locally stored DAC channel values (which may be stored on the FPGA, the CP2200/1 Flash, or other) in preparation for a "D" response packet. Then it transitions to state 111.

inputs

• Clk: clock
• /Rst: asynchronous, active-low reset
• State: 3-bit state value

internal signals

• S_En: state enable, S_En <= not (St(2) or St(1) or St(0))
• Go: when S_En goes high Go pulses for one cycle

blocks

• Mask Fetcher
  • This block reads the programming mask, contained in the second data byte (first remaining byte) through the 5th/4th/3rd byte (4th/3rd/2nd remaining byte), and saves it into a 32/24/16-bit register.
  • inputs
    • Clk: clock
    • /Rst: asynchronous, active-low reset
    • Go: pulse to begin, comes from Go internal signal of block 110
    • TxRx_D: 8-bit data bus from transceiver
    • TxRx_Done: Done signal from transceiver
  • outputs
    • TxRx_Go: Go input on transceiver
    • TxRx_R/W: R/W input on transceiver; tied to read (one)
    • TxRx_A: A_in bus on transceiver
    • Mask: 32/24/16-bit readout of programming mask
    • Done: pulse to signal that mask has been obtained
• Programmer
  • Programs the DAC. Loops 32/24/16 times, obtaining the next byte from the CP2200/1 buffer, checking the mask, programming the DAC if the mask is 1 or skipping if the mask is 0. Also writes the value to the internal DAC value storage registers (or Flash memory or other).
  • inputs
    • Clk: clock
    • /Rst: asynchronous, active-low reset
    • Go: pulse to begin; feeds from Done signal of Mask Fetcher
    • TxRx_D: D_out bus on transceiver
    • TxRx_Done: Done signal on transceiver
  • outputs
    • - DAC control lines -
    • TxRx_Go: Go signal on transceiver
    • TxRx_R/W: R/W signal on transceiver
    • TxRx_A: A_in bus on transceiver
    • Sel: 5/5/4-bit select bus to internal registers
    • Data: 32/24/16-bit data bus to internal registers
    • Done: pulse to signal completion
• Discarder
  • This block orders the CP2200/1 to discard the packet, now that the FPGA is done with all the data contained within the packet.
  • inputs
    • Clk: clock
    • /Rst: asynchronous, active-low reset
    • Go: pulse to begin; feeds from Done signal of Programmer
    • TxRx_Done: Done signal on transceiver
  • outputs
    • TxRx_Go: Go signal on transceiver
    • TxRx_R/W: R/W signal on transceiver
    • TxRx_A: A_in bus on transceiver
    • Done: pulse to signal completion
    • New_St: next state to load into the state register; goes to 111 when Done is high
