3.7 Interface Circuitry
Introduction
For a block diagram of the interfaces circuitry, refer to Figure 3.11 .
For more on the connector pinouts, refer to “Connectors” on page 36 .
Bi-directional Lines
Bi-directional lines are provided on four pins of the auxiliary connector,
(
AUX GPIO
4 to
AUX GPIO
7 ) one on the control-head connector (
CH GPIO
1 ), and
seven on the internal options connector (
IOP GPIO
1
to
IOP GPIO
7
). Those on
the auxiliary and control-head connectors are formed by combining two
uni-directional lines. For example, the line
AUX GPIO
4
at pin 10 of the
auxiliary connector is formed from
ITF AUX GPI
4 and
DIG AUX GPO
4 .
The circuitry is the same in all five cases and is explained below for the case
of
AUX GPIO
4 .
Output Signals
(e.g.
AUX GPIO
4
)
An output on the line
AUX GPIO
4
originates as the 3.3V signal
DIG AUX GPO
4
from the digital section. The signal is first inverted by Q703 (pins 3 to 5) and
the output divided down to 1.6V by R748 and R753 to drive the base of
Q703 (pins 1, 2 and 6). When the latter’s collector current is low, the base
current is a maximum and creates a small voltage drop across R761, causing
the collector emitter to saturate. As the collector current increases, the base
current decreases proportionally until the voltage across R761 reaches 1V.
At this point the base-emitter begins to turn off and the base current
diminishes rapidly. The net effect is a current-limiting action. The current
limit value is approximately 18mA (the inverse of the value of R761).
The output configuration is open-collector with a pull-up to 3.3V by
default. Pull-up options to 5V and 13.8V are also available. On
AUX GPIO
4
only, the optional MOSFET Q707, which has a high current drive, may be
fitted. If Q707 is fitted, R768 must be removed.
5-Volt Regulator
The 5V supply mentioned above is provided by a simple buffered zener
regulator formed by Q702, D721, R721 and R722. The resistor R722
limits the current to about 25mA under short-circuit conditions.
