Table 6-1. Serial Data Bus Signals
Signal name
Characteristic
Address/data
Two-wire serial lines carrying 16-bit serial addresses or 16-bit serial data are either
received in the SPU by a differential receiver, or are sent from the SPU by a
differential tri-state driver. Either a 16-bit serial address or 16-bit serial data can
be received by the SPU. 16-bit serial data can be sent by the SPU. All sent or
received information is gated with the clock signal
Clock
A differential 250-kHz signal from the computer. Used to synchronize all information
and control lines
Data envelope
Differential control lines from the computer. When the data envelope signal is in the
one state, the information on the address/data lines is interpreted by the SPU as
data
Address envelope
Differential control lines from the computer. When the address envelope signal is in
the one state, the address/data lines represent address information
SPU by the computer immediately following the ad-
dress word. The data word is converted into either
resolver or synchro signals and routed back to the
computer on parallel data lines.
f. Computer Discrete Loop Closer. The computer
discrete loop closer is functionally illustrated in figure
6-2 and is contained on logic no.3 electronic compon-
ent assembly A3. The IMU discrete signal lines are
tested by the computer by loop closing logic in the
SPU. Since there are more computer output discretes
than input discretes, the output discretes must be multi-
plexed onto the input discrete lines for the test. Output
discrete groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 (refer to table 6-3) are
applied to line receivers, then multiplexed and sent
back to the computer from line drivers as input discrete
lines 1 through 8 (refer to table 6-3). The multiplexing
is under control of the computer serial data bus. The
status of the output discrete lines is entered into the
computer as bits in the input discrete word. Each line is
directly monitored by the computer. For computer
protection, no SPU synchro or resolver outputs to the
computer can be present until the computer +5V is
detected.
g. Fail Discrete Status and On/OFF-Enter Logic.
The fail discrete status and on/off-enter logic is func-
tionally illustrated in figure FO-7 and is contained on
logic no. 3 electronic component assembly A3 and the
SPU front panel. The SPU takes the place of the CDU
whenever a CDU is not present. Since the fail indicators
must operate when all prime system power fails, they
are powered by an auxiliary 24-VDC source in the
PADS power supply. The 24-VDC is converted to V
lamp in the computer and is then used in the CDU to
power the COMP and IMU indicators. The SPU has its
own power source during prime equipment checkout so
drivers are used in the SPU to drive the COMP FAIL
and IMU FAIL indicators. The ON/OFF and ENTER
switches in the SPU are connected to simulate the ON/
OFF and ENTER switches in the CDU. This enables
the SPU to turn on the computer when a CDU is not
present. These switches supply a momentary ground to
circuitry in the computer. The switches have anti-
bounce circuitry associated with them.
h. Tape Reader Control Logic. The SPU controls
the tape reader with frent panel switches. The SPU also
supplies all power to the tape reader via a front panel
connector. The tape reader is bidirectional in operation,
Forward and reverse direction of the tape reader is
controlled by the SPU MEMORY LOAD and RE-
VERSE switch-indicators respectively.
i. Memory Load and Verify Logic. The memory
load and verify circuits are functionally illustrated in
figure FO-8 and are contained on logic no. 1 electronic
component assembly Al. The SPU utilizes the tape
reader to fill and verify computer memory. The fill and
verify functions are under hardware control in the SPU
and are also under hardware control in the computer
via the direct memory access (DMA) bus. Data is loaded
into memory, a word at a time, and each word transfer
is done via a complete DMA input cycle. The loaded
data is then verified by comparing each word which is
read back from memory, via a complete DMA output
cycle, to the data being reread from the punched tape.
Five tape American Standard Code for Information
Interchange (ASCII) characters are required to load a
single 16-bit memory word. The fifth tape character
identifies the first four characters as being addresses or
data information. Each character uses four data bits per
character as information to be loaded sequentially into
a 16-bit register. The remaining four bits per character
