Figure 3-8.  RTSI Bus Interface Circuitry Block Diagram

The RTSI CLK line can be used to source a 10-MHz signal across the RTSI bus or to receive
another clock signal from another AT board connected to the RTSI bus.  MYCLK is the system
clock used by the AT-MIO-16D.  The W5 jumpers select how these clock signals are routed.

The RTSI switch is a National Instruments custom integrated circuit that acts as a 7x7 crossbar
switch.  Pins B<6..0> are connected to the seven RTSI bus trigger lines.  Pins A<6..0> are
connected to seven signals on the board.  The RTSI switch can drive any of the signals at pins
A<6..0> onto any one or more of the seven RTSI bus trigger lines and can drive any of the seven
trigger line signals onto any one or more of the pins A<6..0>.  This capability provides a
completely flexible signal interconnection scheme for any AT Series board sharing the RTSI bus.
The RTSI switch is programmed via its select and data inputs.

On the AT-MIO-16D board, nine signals are connected to pins A<6..0> of the RTSI switch with
the aid of additional drivers.  The signals GATE1, OUT1, OUT2, OUT5, FOUT, and STOP
TRIG are shared with the AT-MIO-16D I/O connector and Am9513A Counter/Timer.  The signal
SOURCE5 is connected to the Am9513A SOURCE5 pin.  The EXTCONV* and START TRIG*
signals are shared with the I/O connector and the data acquisition timing circuitry.  These onboard
interconnections allow AT-MIO-16D general-purpose and data acquisition timing to be controlled
over the RTSI bus as well as externally and allow the AT-MIO-16D and the I/O connector to
provide timing signals to other AT boards connected to the RTSI bus.
