BCRT-2

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The monolithic CMOS UT1553B BCRT provides the system designer with an intelligent solution to MIL-STD-1553B multiplexed serial data bus design problems. The UT1553B BCRT is a single-chip device that implements two of the defined MIL-STD-1553B functions - Bus Controller and Remote Terminal. Designed to reduce host CPU overhead, the BCRT’s powerful state machines automatically execute message transfers, provide interrupts, and generate status information. Multiple registers offer many programmable functions as well as extensive information for host use. In the BC mode, the BCRT uses a linked-list message scheme to provide the host with message chaining capability. The BCRT enhances memory use by supporting variable-size, relocatable data blocks. In the RT mode, the BCRT implements time-tagging and message history functions. It also supports multiple (up to 128) message buffering and variable length messages to any subaddress.

The UT1553B BCRT is an intelligent, versatile, and easy to implement device -- a powerful asset to system designers.

1.1 Features - Remote Terminal (RT) Mode

Indexing

The BCRT is programmable to index or buffer messages on a subaddress-by-subaddress basis. The BCRT, which can index as many as 128 messages, can also assert an interrupt when either the selected number of messages is reached or every time a specified subaddress is accessed.

Variable Space Allocation

The BCRT can use as little or as much memory (up to 64K) as needed.

Selectable Data Storage

Address programmability within the BCRT provides flexible data placement and convenient access.

Sequential Data Storage

The BCRT stores/retrieves, by subaddress, all messages in the order in which they are transacted.

Sequential Message Status Information

The BCRT provides message validity, time-tag, and wordcount information, and stores it sequentially in a separate, cross-referenced list.

Illegalizing Mode Codes and Subaddresses

The host can declare mode codes and subaddresses illegal by setting the appropriate bit(s) in memory.

Programmable Interrupt Selection

The host CPU can select various events to cause an interrupt with provision for high and standard priority interrupts.

Interrupt History List

The BCRT provides an Interrupt History List that records, in the order of occurrence, the events that caused the interrupts. The list length is programmable.

1.2 Features - Bus Controller (BC) Mode

Multiple Message Processing

The BCRT autonomously processes any number of messages or lists of messages that may be stored in a 64K memory space.

Automatic Intermessage Delay

When programmed by the host, the BCRT can delay a host-specified time before executing the next message in sequence.

Automatic Polling

When polling, the BCRT interrogates the remote terminals and then compares their status word responses to the contents of the Polling Compare

Register. The BCRT can interrupt the host CPU if an erroneous remote terminal status word response occurs.

Automatic Retry

The BCRT can automatically retry a message on busy, message error, and/or response time-out conditions. The BCRT can retry up to four times on the same or on the alternate bus.

Programmable Interrupt Selection

The host CPU can select various events to cause an interrupt with provision for high and standard priority interrupts.

Interrupt History List

The BCRT provides an Interrupt History List that records, in the order of occurrence, the events that caused the interrupts. The list length is programmable.

Variable Space Allocation

The BCRT uses as little or as much memory (up to 64K) as needed.

Selectable Data Storage

Address programmability within the BCRT provides flexible data placement and convenient access.

BCRT-11

3.0 Internal Registers

The BCRT’s internal registers (see table 1 on pages 16-17) enable the CPU to control the actions of the BCRT while maintaining low DMA overhead by the BCRT. All functions are active high and ignored when low unless stated

#0 Control Register

otherwise. Functions and parameters are used in both RT and BC modes except where indicated. Registers are addressed by the binary equivalent of their decimal number. For example, Register 1 is addressed as 0001B. Register usage is defined as follows:

Bit
Number	Description
BITs15-12	Reserved.
BIT 11	Enable External Override. For use in multi-redundant systems. This bit enables the				pin.
				EXTOVR
BIT 10			Select. This function selects between the Bus Controller and Remote Terminal operation modes. It
	BC/RT
	overrides the external BCRTSEL input setting if the Change Lock-Out function is not used. A reset
	operation must be performed when changing between BC and RT modes. This bit is write-only.
BIT 9	(BC) Retry on Alternate Bus. This bit enables an automatic retry to operate on alternate buses. For example, if on
	bus A, with two automatic retries programmed, the automatic retries occur on bus B.
BIT 8	(RT) Channel B Enable. When set, this bit enables Channel B operation.
	(BC) No significance.
BIT 7	(RT) Channel A Enable. When set, this bit enables Channel A operation.
	(BC) Channel Select A/B. When set, this bit selects Channel A.
BITs 6-5	(BC) Retry Count. These bits program the number (1-4) of retries to attempt. (00 = 1 retry,11 = 4 retries)
BIT 4	(BC) Retry on Bus Controller Message Error. This bit enables automatic retries on an error the Bus Controller
	detects (see the Bus Controller Architecture section, page 27).
BIT 3	(BC) Retry on Time-Out. This bit enables an automatic retry on a response time-out condition.
BIT 2	(BC) Retry on Message Error. This bit enables an automatic retry when the Message Error bit is set in the RT’s
	status word response.
BIT 1	(BC) Retry on Busy. This bit enables automatic retry on a received Busy bit in an RT status word response.
BIT 0	Start Enable. In the BC mode, this bit starts/restarts Command Block execution. In the RT mode, it enables the
	BCRT to receive a valid command. RT operation does not start until a valid command is received. When using
	this function:
	∙ Restart the BCRT after each Master Reset or programmed reset.
	∙ This bit is not readable; verify operation by reading bit 0 of the BCRT’s Status Register.

BCRT-12

#1 Status Register (Read Only)

These bits indicate the BCRT’s current status.

Bit
Number	Description
BIT 15	TEST. This bit reflects the inverse of the TEST output. It changes state simultaneously with the TEST output.
BIT 14	(RT) Remote Terminal Active. Indicates that the BCRT, in the Remote Terminal mode, is presently servicing a
	command. This bit reflects the inverse of the COMSTR pin.
BIT 13	(RT) Dynamic Bus Control Acceptance. This bit reflects the state of the Dynamic Bus Control Acceptance bit in
	the RT status word (see Register 10 on page 15).
BIT 12	(RT) Terminal Flag bit is set in RT status word. This bit reflects the result of writing to Register 10, bit 11.
BIT 11	(RT) Service Request bit is set in RT status word. This bit reflects the result of writing to Register 10, bit 10.
BIT 10	(RT) Busy bit is set in RT status word. This bit reflects the result of writing to Register 10, bits 9 or 14.
BIT 9	BIT is in progress.
BIT 8	Reset is in progress. This bit indicates that either a write to Register 12 has just occurred or the BCRT has just
	received a Reset Remote Terminal (#01000) Mode Code. This bit remains set less than one microsecond.
BIT 7			Mode. Indicates the current mode of operation. A reset operation must be performed when changing
	BC/RT
	between BC and RT modes.
BIT 6					Indicates either the channel presently in use or the last channel used.
	Channel A/B.
BIT 5	Subsystem Fail Indicator. Indicates receiving a subsystem fail signal from the host subsystem on the SSYSF input.
BITs 4-1	Reserved.
BIT 0	(BC) Command Block Execution is in progress. (RT) Remote Terminal is in operation. This bit reflects bit 0 of
	Register 0.

#2 Current Command Block Register (BC)/Remote Terminal Descriptor Space Address Register (RT)

(BC) This register contains the address of the head pointer of the Command Block being executed. Accessing a new Command Block updates it.

(RT) The host CPU initializes this register to indicate the starting location of the RT Descriptor Space. The host must allocate 320 sequential locations following this starting address. For proper operation, this location must start on an I x 512 decimal a ddress boundary, where I is an integer multiple. (I = 0 is valid boundary condition.)

#3 Polling Compare Register

In the polling mode, the CPU sets the Polling Compare Register to indicate the RT response word on which the BCRT should interrupt. This register is 11 bits wide, corresponding to bit times 9 through 19 of the RT’s 1553 status word response. The sync, Remote Terminal Address, and parity bits are not included (see the section on Polling, page 30).

BCRT-13

#4 BIT (Built-In-Test) Word Register

The BCRT uses the contents of this register when it responds to the Transmit BIT Word Mode Code (#10011). In addition, the BCRT writes to the two most significant bits of the BIT Word Register in response to either an Initiate Self-Test Mode Code (RT mode) or a write to Register 11 (BIT Start Command). If the BIT Word needs to be modified, it can be read out, modified, then rewritten to this register. Note that if the processor writes a “1” to either bit 14 or 15 of this register, it effectively induces a BIT failure.

Bit

Number Description

BIT 15	Channel B. Failure.
BIT 14	Channel A. Failure.
BITs 13-0	BIT Word. The least significant fourteen bits of the BIT Word are user programmable.

#5 Current Command Register (Read Only)

In the RT mode, this register contains the command currently being processed. When not processing a command, the BCRT stores the last command or status word transmitted on the 1553B bus. This register is updated only when bit 0 of Register 0 is set. In the BC mode, this register contains the most current command sent out on the 1553B bus.

#6 Interrupt Log List Pointer Register

Initialized by the CPU, the Interrupt Log List Pointer Register indicates the start of the Interrupt Log List. After each list entry, the BCRT updates this register with the address of the next entry in the list. (See page 33.)

#7 High-Priority Interrupt Enable Register (R/W)

Setting the bits in this register causes a High-Priority Interrupt when the enabled event occurs. To service the High-Priority Interrupt, the user reads Register 8 to determine the cause of the interrupt, then writes to Register 8 to clear the appropriate bits. The BCRT also provides a Standard Priority Interrupt Scheme that does not require host intervention. If High-Priority Interrupt service is not possible in a given application, it is advisable to use the Standard Priority features.

Bit
Number	Description
BITs 15-9	Reserved.
BIT 8	Data Overrun Enable. When set, this bit enables an interrupt when				was not received by the BCRT within
				DMAG
	the allotted time needed for a successful data transfer to memory.
BIT 7	(BC) Illogical Command Error Enable. This bit enables a High-Priority Interrupt to be asserted upon the
	occurrence of an Illogical Command. Illogical commands include incorrectly formated RT-RT Command Blocks.
BIT 6	(RT) Dynamic Bus Control Mode Code Interrupt Enable. When set, the BCRT asserts an interrupt when the
	Dynamic Bus Control Mode Code is received.
BIT 5	Subsystem Fail Enable. When set, a High-Priority Interrupt is asserted after receiving a Subsystem Fail (SSYSF)
	input pin.
BIT 4	End of BIT Enable. This bit indicates the end of the internal BIT routine.
BIT 3	BIT Word Fail Enable. This bit enables an interrupt indicating that the BCRT detected a BIT failure.
BIT 2	(BC) End of Command Block List Enable (see Command Block Control Word, page 29.) This interrupt can be
	superseded by other high-priority interrupts.
BIT 1	Message Error Enable. If enabled, a High-Priority Interrupt is asserted at the occurrence of a message error. If a
	High-Priority Interrupt condition occurs, as the result of an enabled message error, the device will halt operation
	until the user clears the interrupt by writing a “1” to bit 1 of the High-Priority Interrupt Status/Reset Register
	(Reg. #8). If this interrupt is not cleared, the BCRT remains in the HALTED state (appearing to be “locked-up”),
	even if it receives a valid message. This High-Priority Interrupt scheme is necessary in order to maintain the
	BCRT’s state of operation so that the host CPU has this information available at the time of interrupt service.
BIT 0	Standard Interrupt Enable. Setting this bit enables the		pin, but does not cause a high-priority
		STDINTL
	interrupt. If low, only the STDINTP pin is asserted when a Standard Interrupt occurs.

BCRT-14

#8 High-Priority Interrupt Status/Reset Register

When a High-Priority Interrupt is asserted, this register indicates the event that caused it. To clear the interrupt signal and reset the bit, write a “1” to the appropriate bit. See the corresponding bit definitions of Register 7, High-Priority Interrupt Enable Register.

Bit
Number	Description
BITs 15-9	Reserved.
BIT 8	Data Overrun.
BIT 7	Illogical Command.
BIT 6	Dynamic Bus Control Mode Code Received.
BIT 5	Subsystem Fail.
BIT 4	End of BIT.
BIT 3	BIT Word Fail.
BIT 2	End of Command Block.
BIT 1	Message Error.
BIT 0	Standard Interrupt. The BCRT sets this bit when any Standard Interrupt occurs, providing bit 0 of Register 7 is
	enabled. (Reset STDINTL output.)

#9 Standard Interrupt Enable Register

This register enables Standard Interrupt logging for any of the following enabled events (Standard Interrupt logging can also occur for events enabled in the BC Command Block or RT Subaddress/Mode Code Descriptor):

Bit
Number	Description
BITs 15-6	Reserved.
BIT 5	(RT) Illegal Broadcast Command. When set, this bit enables an interrupt indicating that an Illegal Broadcast
	Command has been received.
BIT 4	(RT) Illegal Command. When set, this bit enables an interrupt indicating that an illegal command has been
	received.
BIT 3	(BC) Polling Comparison Match. This enables an interrupt indicating that a polling event has occurred. The user
	must also set bit 12 in the BC Command Block Control Word for this interrupt to occur.
BIT 2	(BC) Retry Fail. This bit enables an interrupt indicating that all the programmed number of retries have failed.
BIT 1	(BC, RT) Message Error Event. This bit enables a standard interrupt for message errors.
BIT 0	(BC) Command Block Interrupt and Continue. This bit enables an interrupt indicating that a Command Block,
	with the Interrupt and Continue Function enabled, has been executed.

BCRT-15

#10 Remote Terminal Address Register

This register sets the Remote Terminal Address via software. The Change Lock-Out Enable feature, when set, prevents the Remote Terminal Address or the BCRT Mode Selection from changing.

Bit
Number	Description
BIT 15	(RT) Instrumentation. Setting this bit sets the RT status word Instrumentation bit.
BIT 14	(RT) Busy. Setting this bit sets the RT status word Busy bit. It does not inhibit data transfers to the subsystem.
BIT 13	(RT) Subsystem Fail. Setting this bit sets the RT status word Subsystem Flag bit. In the RT mode, the
	Subsystem Fail is also logged into the Message Status Word.
BIT 12	(RT) Dynamic Bus Control Acceptance. Setting this bit sets the RT status word Dynamic Bus Control
	Acceptance bit when the BCRT receives the Dynamic Bus Control Mode Code from the currently active Bus
	Controller. Host intervention is required for the BCRT to take over as the active Bus Controller.
BIT 11	(RT) Terminal Flag. Setting this bit sets the RT status word Terminal Flag bit; the Terminal Flag bit in the RT
	status word is also internally set if the BIT fails.
BIT 10	(RT) Service Request. Setting this bit sets the RT status word Service Request bit.
BIT 9	(RT) Busy Mode Enable. Setting this bit sets the RT status word Busy bit and inhibits all data transfers to the
	subsystem.
BIT 8			Mode Select. This bit’s state reflects the external pin BCRTSEL. It does not necessarily reflect the state
	BC/RT
					Mode Select is software-programmable via bit 10 of Register 0. This bit is read
	of the chip, since the BC/RT
	only.
BIT 7	Change Lock-Out. This bit’s state reflects the external pin LOCK. When set, this bit indicates that changestothe
	RT address or the BC/RT Mode Select are not allowed using internal registers. This bit is read-only.
BIT 6	Remote Terminal Address Parity Error. This bit indicates a Remote Terminal Address Parity error. It appears
	after the Remote Terminal Address is latched if a parity error exists.
BIT 5	Remote Terminal Address Parity. This is an odd parity input bit used with the Remote Terminal Address. It
	ensures accurate recognition of the Remote Terminal Address.
BITs 4-0	Remote Terminal Address (Bit 0 is the LSB). This reflects the RTA4-0 inputs at Master Reset. Modify the
	Remote Terminal Address by writing to these bits.

#11 BIT Start Register (Write Only)

Any write (i.e., data = don’t care) to this register’s address location initiates the internal BIT routine, which lasts

100ms. Verify using the BIT-in-progress bit in the Status Register. A programmed reset (write to Register 12) must precede a write to this register to initiate the internal BIT. A failure of the BIT will be indicated in Register 4 and the BCRTF pin.

The BCRT’s self-test performs an internal wrap around test between its Manchester encoder and its two Manchester decoders. If the BCRT detects a failure on either the primary or the secondary channel, it flags this failure by setting bit 14 of Register 4 (BIT Word Register) for Channel A and/or bit 15 for Channel B. When in the Remote Terminal mode, while the BCRT is performing its self-test, it ignores any commands on the 1553 bus until it has completed the self-test.

#12 Programmed Reset Register (Write Only)

Any write (i.e., data = don’t care) to this register’s address location initiates a reset sequence of the encoder/decoder and protocol sections of the BCRT which lasts less than 1 microsecond. This is identical to the reset used for the Reset Remote Terminal Mode Code except that command processing halts. For a total reset (i.e., including registers), see the MRST signal description.

#13 RT Timer Reset Register (Write Only)

Any write (i.e., data = don’t care) to this register’s address location resets the RT Time Tag timer to zero. The BCRT’s Remote Terminal Timer time-tags message transactions. The time tag is generated from a free-running eight-bit timer of 64 microseconds resolution. This timer can be reset to zero simply by writing to Register 13. When the timer is reset, it immediately starts running.

4.0 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The BCRT can be configured for a variety of processor and memory environments. The host processor and the BCRT communicate via a flexible, programmable interrupt structure, internal registers, and a user-definable shared memory area. The shared memory area (up to 64K) is completely user-programmable and communicates BCRT control information -- message data, and

status/error information.

Figure 3a. Pseudo DualX0106Port RAM

Control Signals

BCRT-18

Built-in memory management functions designed specifically for MIL-STD-1553B applications aid processor off-loading. The host needs only to establish the parameters within memory so the BCRT can access this information as required. For example, in the RT mode, the BCRT can store data associated with individual subaddresses anywhere within its 64K address space. The BCRT then can automatically buffer up to 128 incoming messages of the same subaddress, thus preventing the previous messages from being overwritten by subsequent messages. This buffering also extends the intervals required by the host processor to service the data. Selecting an appropriate MCLK frequency to meet system memory access time requirements controls the memory access rate. The completion of a user-defined task or the occurrence of a user-selected event is indicated by using the extensive set of interrupts provided.

In the BC mode, the BCRT can process multiple messages, assist in scheduling message lists, and provide hostprogrammable functions such as auto retry. The BCRT is incorporated in systems with a variety of interrupt latencies by using the Interrupt History List feature (see Exception Handling and Interrupt Logging, page 33). The Interrupt History List sequentially stores the events that caused the interrupt in memory without losing information if a host processor does not respond immediately to an interrupt.

5.0SYSTEM INTERFACE

5.1DMA Transfers

The BCRT initiates DMA transfers whenever it executes command blocks (BC mode) or services commands (RT mode). DMAR initiates the transfer and is terminated by the inactive edge of DMACK. The Address Enable (AEN) input enables the BCRT to output an address onto the Address bus.

The BCRT requests transfer cycles by asserting the DMAR output, and initiates them when a DMAG input is received. A DMACK output indicates

that the BCRT has control of the Data and Address buses. The TSCTL output is asserted when the BCRT is actually asserting the Address and Data buses.

To support using multiple bus masters in a system, the BCRT outputs the DMAGO signal that results from the

DMAG signal passing through the chip when a BCRT bus request was not generated (DMAR inactive). You can use DMAGO in daisy-chained multimaster systems.

5.2 Hardware Interface

The BCRT provides a simple subsystem interface and facilitates DMA arbitration. The user can configure the BCRT to operate in a variety of memory-processor environments including the pseudo-dual-port RAM and standard DMA configurations.

For complete circuit description, such as arbitration logic and I/O, please refer to the appropriate application note.

5.3 CPU Interconnection

Pseudo-Dual-Port RAM Configuration

The BCRT’s Address and Data buses connect directly to RAM, with buffers isolating the BCRT’s buses from those of the host CPU (figures 3a and 3b). The CPU’s memory control signals (RD, WR, and MEMCSI) pass through the BCRT and connect to memory as RRL, RWR,

and MEMCSO.

Standard DMA Configuration

The BCRT’s and CPU’s data, address, and control signals are connected to each other as shown in figures 3c and 3d. The RWR, RRL, and MEMCSO are activated after DMAG is asserted.

In either case, the BCRT’s Address and Data buses remain in a high-impedance state unless the CS and RD signals are

active, indicating a host register access; or TSCTL is asserted, indicating a memory access by the BCRT. CPU attempts to access BCRT registers are ignored during BCRT memory access. Inhibit DMA transfers by using the Busy function in the Remote Terminal Address Register while operating in the Remote Terminal mode.

The designer can use TSCTL to indicate when the BCRT is accessing memory. AEN is also available (use is optional), giving the CPU control over the BCRT’s Address bus. A DMA Burst (BURST) signal indicates multiple

DMA accesses.

Register Access

Registers 0 through 13 are accessed with the decode of the four LSBs of the Address bus (A0-A3) and asserting CS. Pulse either RD or WR for multiple register accesses
