Microcontrollers
Two microcontrollers on the Control board (the main microcontroller and the
feedback microcontroller) work together to control the generator. They
communicate with each other through a shared RAM. The main microcontroller
(U5) performs all system functions, except the time-critical real time feedback
control of generator RF output. The feedback microcontroller (U11), which is a
separate, dedicated microcontroller, handles this. All system analog signals are
available to these microcontrollers.
A third microcontroller (U9) functions as an application-specific integrated
circuit, or ASIC. It generates the RF drive waveforms (T_ON\) for the RF output
stage.
Main Microcontroller
The main microcontroller (U5) is an 80C562 that incorporates an 8-input
multiplexed 8-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The main microcontroller
performs the following activities:
•
monitors all dosage error functions and safety circuits
•
implements the user interface, including activation control
•
communicates with the feedback microcontroller
It is primarily responsible for these functions:
•
segment display drivers and LED update
•
power control knob, mode buttons, and the activation interface
•
serial port interface
•
alarm handling
•
REM
•
audio control
•
memory control and storage (system alarms with time stamps, calibration
values)
•
real-time clock control and interface
•
internal self-tests
•
dosage error monitoring
•
setup mode (for special features)
