Copyright 2001 Diamond Systems Corp. Ruby - MM - 1612 User Manual V1.1 P. 15 Offset Binary Coding (for bipolar output ranges) This method takes into account the fact that the lowest output voltage is not zero but a negative value.

Copyright 2001 Diamond Systems Corp. Ruby - MM - 1612 User Manual V1.1 P. 17 Examples Single channel output Assume ch annels 0 - 7 are configured for 0 - 5V. To set channel 0 to 3V, do the following: D/A code is 3V / 5V x 4096 = 2458 (value is rounded to nearest integer) LSB = 2458 AND 255 = 154 MSB = (2458 AND 3840) / 256 = 9 Step 1.

CALIBRATION PROCEDUR E Calibration requires a voltmeter (at least 5 digits of precision is preferred) and a miniature screwdriver to turn the potentiometer screws. The common lead of the voltmeter must be connected to analog ground (not digital gr ound).

2 Functional Diagram Pin Description SYMBOL PIN NUMBER TYPE DESCRIPTION V CC 26 V CC : The +5V power supply pin. A 0.1 µ F capacitor between pins 26 and 7 is recommended for decoupling. GND 7 GROUND D0-D7 27-34 I/O DATA BUS: The Data Bus lines are bidirectional three-state pins connected to the system data bus.
3 Functional Description Data Bus Buffer This three-state bi-directional 8-bit buff er is used to interf ace the 82C55A to the system data bus . Data is transmitted or received b y the buff er upon ex ecution of input or output instructions by the CPU .
4 P orts A, B, and C The 82C55A contains three 8-bit por ts (A, B, and C). All can be configured to a wide variety of functional characteristics by the system softw are but each has its own special f eatures or “personality” to fur ther enhance the power and fle xibility of the 82C55A.
5 The modes f or P or t A and P or t B can be separately defined, while P or t C is divided into two portions as required by the P or t A and P or t B definitions. All of the output registers, including the status flip-flops, will be reset whene ver the mode is changed.

8 Operating Modes Mode 1 - (Strobed Input/Output). This functional configura- tion provides a means f or transf erring I/O data to or from a specified por t in conjunction with strobes or “hand shaking” signals. In mode 1, port A and por t B use the lines on por t C to generate or accept these “hand shaking” signals.
9 INTR (Interrupt Request) A “high” on this output can be used to interrupt the CPU when and input de vice is requesting ser vice. INTR is set b y the condition: STB is a “one”, IBF is a “one” and INTE is a “one”. It is reset by the f alling edge of RD .
10 Operating Modes Mode 2 (Strobed Bi-Directional Bus I/O) The functional configuration provides a means f or communi- cating with a peripheral device or structure on a single 8-bit bus f or both transmitting and receiving data (bi-directional bus I/O).

13 Special Mode Combination Considerations There are se veral combinations of modes possib le. F or any combination, some or all of P or t C lines are used f or control or status. The remaining bits are either inputs or outputs as defined by a “Set Mode” command.
14 Reading P ort C Status (Figures 15 and 16) In Mode 0, P or t C transf ers data to or from the peripheral de vice. When the 82C55A is programmed to function in Modes 1 or 2, P or t C generates or accepts “hand shaking” signals with the peripheral device .
