MAX 232

• The MAX232 contains two EIA232 (RS232) Transmitters & two Receivers in one package.

• The MAX232 has better noise immunity and zap and latch-up protection.

MAX 232• The MAX232 contains both a Voltage Doubler and a

Voltage Inverter

• Voltage is Doubled via Charge Pump– A capacitor (C1) is charged across the supply rails.– Then the charged capacitor is level shifted to the higher

supply rail – The Charged capacitor transfers its charge into an output filter

capacitor (C2)– Process repeats at a very high rate pumping charge onto the

output filter capacitor.

Simple Charge Pump

Charge Pump

• VDouble = (2 * 5V) - (2 x 1N914 Vdrop) = 10 - 0.8V = 9.2V

• This doubler shows the principle behind the concept.

• In the MAX232 the charge is transferred via FETs and so less voltage is lost.

• A similar arrangement can be imagined for the voltage inverter.

Serial (EIA232) Line Drivers

Line driver:

Converts logic levels 0..5V <=> RS232 levels -10V .. +10V

Provides higher Current drive to charge capacitance produced by long lines

MAX232 family:

Converts 0-5V input into +10V to -10V.

Modem: Modulator Demodulator

• For longer distances where different buildings are interconnected via telephone system wiring.

• Leased Line Modems don’t require line voltage

• PABX/PSTN lines require current limited line voltage

• Distance - 10 kms - determined by cable losses & noise.

• Phone Line connected Equipment requires A-Tick, C-Tick, & safety approvals

Modem Communications

Modems

• Modulation defined by ITU V. series standards or Bel standards.

• Eg – BEL 212A 1200baud – V.22 2400 baud– V.32 9600 baud – V.34 32k baud– V.90 56k baud, – V.92 Fast Train Sequence V.90

Bel 212A Modulation

Star Wired RS232

I2C Bus

• Popular for peripheral interfacing

• Two Wire (plus GND) bi-directional interface

• 0 & 5V logic levels

• Suitable for short distance communication

RS232 to I2C Converter

EIA/TIA/RS-485 (1)

• Standard for differential multi-point data transmission

• Popular over many years.

• Up to 32 devices can communicate on a common RS485 bus.

• Can support multi-master configuration

EIA RS-485 (2)

• Line terminated at both ends into resistor equal to the characteristic impedance of cable (Typically 120 ohms).

• Higher noise immunity than RS232 - +/- 7 volts ground difference potential- rugged.

• Tolerant of voltages -7V..+12V and short circuits - In case of data packet collisions

EIA RS-485 (3)

• High speed - up to 10Mbps (distance < 13metres )

• Maximum cable run 1.3km @ 100kbps.

• Bus uses 2-wire shielded cable.

• Cheaper than RS232 star-wiring

• Trade-off speed vs power consumption of line driver

HCCOM’s RS485 interfaceU7 and U8 are RS485 line driver ICs.

To improve noise immunity of RS485:

Provide a isolated power supply and drivers to remote RS485 connected devices.

Use good shielded pair cable.

Allow higher common mode voltage differences

RS485In an RS585 Network the master is normally node 0. The desired slave id is normally transmitted as one of the first bytes.

RS485

After sending its data the Master disables its drivers and waits for the Slave’s response. All receivers must listen to the traffic to determine what is being sent to which master/slave.

Twisted Pair Interface

Designing a 68HC 11 based computer

• Memory space considerations• We are going to outline a step-by-step

procedure, using a practical example, for the design of a 68HC 11 based computer.

• We will be focusing on memory space considerations only in this lecture. So, the computer we will be designing may or may not work.

Designing a 68HC11 based computer

• This is because we have omitted the crucial timing considerations which is the topic for the next lecture.

• It is only when both memory space interface and signal timing considerations are correctly taken into account in our design then we shall have some chance of getting a working computer system.


• The company any you are working for is building a "radio teletype " for use as a message receiver at Mawson Base in Antarctica.

• Digital status messages are received from remote weather stations. The incoming radio telemetry is decoded into ASCII by the radio receiver unit which then passes the data over a serial link to your system.


• Your system takes the ASCII codes received serially and asses them to a parallel printer. You have been given the task of writing the software that will control the system.

• The interface to the printer consists of 8 data lines, one active-low BUSY line and one active-low STROBE.


• Operation of the printer interface works as follows. The processor checks the status of the BUSY input line from the printer and waits until it is high (Printer not-busy).

• The processor then places data on the printer's data lines and sends the STROBE output line low, then returns it high. This tells the Printer that new data is available for it.


• The radio receiver sends serial data to your system at 1200 bps, with 8 data bus, one stop bit and no parity bit.

• The PIA lies at addresses $6000 to $6003 and the ACIA lies at addresses $7000 and $7001 in your memory space.

• The ACIA has a serial clock running at 19.2 kHz


• 1. Write initialisation routines to configure the ACIA appropriately. It is desirable to have the ACIA generate an interrupt when new data is received.

• 2. Write intialisation routines to configure port B of the PIA as the data lines for the printer and bit 0 of port A as the BUSY line.


• In this system. We only want an interrupt generated when the ACIA receives data. so interrupts should be disabled on the PIA. The status of the BUSY line should be checked under software control, but the STROBE# may be generated using one of the PIA s output control lines. The STROBE# line should go low when data is written to port B.

Designing a 68HC 11 based computer

• 3. Write an Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) that will read data from the ACIA when a character is received and send this to to the printer via the PIA. Your ISR should read data from the ACIA, check the status of the printer by examining bit-0 of PIA port A) and then send the data by storing it to port B of the PIA.

Design Specification (1)

• Always start with a few questions, like:• 1.

– What is it comprised of ? – What is it for ?

• Usually the answers are provided by the design specifications. – Here, a 68HC11 is the brain of the system. We

also have a MC6821 PIA and a MC6850 ACIA for handling the system I/O.


• 2. What does the system do ? – Receive data with the ACIA and Print data with

the PIA on a printer.

• 3. How do we attach the PIA and the ACIA to the 68HC11 ?– Available alternatives :

• Port ?• Memory mapped ?


• What are the addresses of these devices• PIA $6000 to $6003• ACIA $7000 to $7001

• 4. Decision - use memory mapped design Need address decoder to decode – $6000-- $6003 and $7000-- $7001


• How ? • Partial decoding is acceptable here, so, PIA

will occupy $6000 -- $6FFF, and ACIA will occupy $7000 -- $7FFF (echoes through memory) .

• A15 A14 A13 A12 A11 A10 A8..2 • $6000 0 1 1 0 0 X• $7000 0 1 1 1 0 X


• Assuming the chip-select (CS) lines for both the PIA and the ACIA are active low, we can use the following address decoder:

• 5. Whenever an external device is attached to the 68HC11, we need to initialise it.


6. Set up ACIA

Write an initialisation routine

LDAA $#95 ; communication ; settings for the ACIA

STAA $7000 ; send it to the ACIA


7. Initialize the PIAPort A: Input A $6000..$6001Port B: Output B $6002..$6003Init Port A:

CLR $6001 ; clear control register for Port ACLR $6000 ; set PIA Port A as input LDAA $#04 ; lock DDR bit & turn STAA $6001 ; off CA1 & CA2

Init Port B:CLR $6003 ; clear control register for Port LDAB $#FF ; set for outputSTAB $6000 ;LDAB $#2C ; lock it inSTAB $6003 ;

RTS ;return


• 8. Write an Interrupt Service Routine (ISR)

LDAA $7000 ;load character from ACIAcheck:

LDAB $6000 ; load printer status from Port A of PIAANDB $#01 ; mask out all bits except BUSY bitBNE check ;if BUSY = 0, go back and check againSTAA $6002 ;if not, send char to Port B for printing,

; assuming char is already in; accumulator

RTI ;return from interrupt


• 9. Environmental Considerations:– Air Conditioned ?– Inside / Outside?– Environmental extremes ?

• Temperature / Sunlight• Humidity / Condensation - Drain Holes• Iceing / Soot / Smoke• Vibration / Stress relief

Analog to Digital Converter

• Analog to Digital Converter section of 68HC11

• Requires 32 E-clock cycles to complete a conversion

• 8-bit successive approximation converter.

• Uses Charge re-distribution for manufacturability reasons.

• As it is based upon capacitance it automatically includes Sample & Hold functionality


• Analog switches are used to provide ADC internal capacitor switching and input multiplexor selection switching.

• Uses internal charge pump -> 7 to 8V– Provides high gate voltages to operate analog switches -

guarantees low impedance.

– must be enabled (disabled at reset)

– A/D Power Up (ADPU) control bit

– after starting charge pump, must delay 100us before using ADC


• Uses clock sources - must be selected

• Four channels are converted in sequence with the results provided in registers

ADC - Input Sample

In the sample phase of the conversion:

VX, the input voltage, is used to charge the bottom plate of the capacitors relative to the VL low reference (top plate).

VX

ADC - Sample

Time is allowed to elapse for 12 cycles, sufficient time for VC, the voltage on the capacitors, to charge to VX - VL.

Working with ratios of capacitances.

Total Charge is Q = 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 16 units.

The Charge Q = 16 (VX - VL). Setting VL =0 volts => Q = 16 VX.

ADC - Hold

In the hold phase of the conversion:

The charge remains on the capacitors, and the capacitors bottom plate (reference) is shifted to VL.

QH = - 16 Vi (assuming VL =0). Now Vi = - (VX - VL).

ADC - Conversion (1)


In the Successive Approximation phase of the conversion:

The voltage on the capacitors, is re-distributed between the 1 unit capacitor, and the VH reference voltage.

The ratio of capacitance determines Vi = (VH/VL) CSEL/C1.

The resulting comparator input voltage is set reflects the input

Resistive losses and timing are ignored to simplify analysis.


Starting with the 8 unit capacitor (MSB), it is switched VH.

The charge is Q = 8 (VH - Vi) + 8 (VL - Vi).

Q = 8VH - 16Vi assuming Vi = 0.

The ratio of capacitance determines Vi = (VH/VL) CSAR/C1.

The resulting comparator input voltage is set reflects the input ratio.

If the VX < 8/16 (VH - VL) then Vi > VL and the comparator will output a 1. C8 is set to VH, and a 1 is saved in the MSB of the Successive Approximation register (SAR).

Conversely if VX > 8/16 (VH - VL) then the comparator will output a 0. C8 is set to VL, And a 0 is saved in the MSB of the Successive Approximation register.


Next the 4 unit capacitor (MSB), the capacitor is switched VH.

The resulting comparator input voltage is set reflects the input ratio.

And the SAR will save the value of the next most significant bit.

The ADC continues through the rest of the bits until all capacitors have been set and the SAR holds the value of the conversion.

Upon conversion completion:

VX = (VH - VL) x (SAR / 256)


Setting the ADPU bit = 1 turns on the on-chip charge pump.

The CSEL Control Bit selects which charge pump is activated:

0 - ADC (highest ADC accuracy)

1 - EEPROM (needed for EEPROM efficiency)
