Interface Signals


The interface signals between the pixel and DPU sections are:
AD[0..15]         16-bit Address/Data bus (bi-directional)

   From DPU:
SEL* Mode (Pixel ID=0, PHA=1)
ALE 8086 address latch enable
WR* 8086 write strobe
RD* 8086 read strobe
3.2 MHz pixel section clock; this may be used for the 8086 bus timing
Pixel[0..7] Pixel ID byte; high 4 bits are the FEA number and the low 4 bits are the pixel number
Etrig Event trigger; Pixel[0..7] and Energy may be processed at the leading edge of this trigger. PHA is also started and DPU[0..7] is latched
Energy The peak detector output of the active pixel is switched to this line
Calibrate 1 kHz 0 to 5 V square pulse
Reset Power on and software reset

The DPU section controls the Address/Data bus. This bus should be driven except during read operations. When SEL* and RD* are both asserted, the pixel section will put data on the bus. To avoid bus contention, the DPU section should delay driving the bus for a minimum of about 100 nsec after RD* ends. SEL* should remain asserted for about 10 nsec after WR* or RD* end. Similarly, the address on AD[0..15] should persist for about 5 nsec after ALE ends.
