One edge on this pin triggers a position sampling. The polarity of the edge can be pro‐
grammed using the
SPOL
bit in the
SYS_CTRL
(00h) register. The protocol requires a
constant frequency of the signal at this pin, with deviations permitted within a set toler‐
ance band. Continuously, the protocol synchronizes the protocol frame with the signal
frequency at
sync
.
NOTE
If the
sync
signal frequency is outside the tolerance range, re-synchronization of the
protocol is triggered. During the time that the re-synchronization is taking place, sam‐
pling is carried out with the former sync frequency until the re-synchronization is com‐
plete. For more details on the sync signal also see
5.3.2
INTERRUPT signal
interrupt
is a DSL Master digital output.
interrupt
is set to "1" if an interrupt condition has been fulfilled in the DSL-Master.
The interrupt conditions are set using the registers
MASK_H
,
MASK_L
and
MASK_SUM
(see
NOTE
During each write process in one of the registers
EVENT_H
or
EVENT_L
, the
interrupt
output is masked until the current SPI transaction has ended.
5.3.3
LINK signal
link
is a DSL Master digital output.
link
is effected by the content of the LINK bit in the
MASTER_QM
register (see
) and therefore indicates whether the DSL Master has produced a com‐
munications link to a connected HIPERFACE DSL
®
motor feedback system.
link
is intended to be a control signal for an LED display, but can also be used to con‐
trol the start-up performance (see
) or for global error handling.
link
is reset if communication faults are detected.
5.3.4
FAST_POS_RDY signal
fast_pos_rdy
is a DSL Master digital output.
fast_pos_rdy
signals that a new fast position value is available and permits an
event-based reading of the position for incorporating latency reduction.
fast_pos_rdy
is always available, even if the position value is invalid or no connec‐
tion to the encoder has been established.
Dependent upon the configuration in the register system control (see
),
fast_pos_rdy
displays either only the availability of positions based on user require‐
ments (edge at
sync
input) or all transmitted positions.
5.3.5
SYNC_LOCKED signal
sync_locked
is a DSL Master digital output.
sync_locked
indicates whether the
sync
signal was correctly passed to the encoder,
or whether the IP Core is still in a synchronization phase.
sync_locked
drops to “0”
when the SYNC edge supplied by the application has been transported with more than
2 clock cycles of distortion.
