MCB-E2798 Ver. 1.0
Chapter 1 Summary
The CTP-2798, a digital input/output board for CompactPCI systems, provides 64 CMOS-gated high-voltage
input and 64 high-current drive open-collector output channels. The input circuits require no external power
supply because they are pulled-up in the board. This board incorporates I/O control circuits. Using this I/O
control circuits, data can be transferred between this board and external devices with handshake. This board can
latch or transparently read the status of the input ports. It can output its reset signal and can be reset by external
signals. It includes a timer/counter circuit, which can be used as an interval timer.
1.1 Features
1. Wide voltage range
The CTP-2798 provides a wide voltage range. A voltage range of the input circuits is +5 Vdc to +48 Vdc.
The maximum voltage rating of the input circuits is +50 Vdc. An applied voltage range of the output
circuits is +5 Vdc to +48 Vdc.
2. High-speed photo-isolated input and output channels

The internal circuits are optically isolated at the bus interface block. This isolation prevents external noise
from interfering with the internal circuit
3. Current drive of +100 mA (max.)

Each general purpose digital output circuit on this board has a Darlington transistor. This feature provides
up to +100 mA of current drive.
4. Circuit protection devices

The CTP-2798 is equipped with circuit protection devices; each device can protect as many as eight
transistors. Total current of eight transistors flows into the corresponding circuit protection device (fuse
current rating: 1 A). It cannot protect only one transistor.
5. Reset signal output/power supply status output (RSTOUT/P.OUT)

The board’s reset signal or power supply status is output from pin 28 on the connector CN1 depending on
the setting of the JP3 jumper block. This allows you to detect status of the board.
6. External reset input (RSTIN)

The RSTIN signal resets this board. This signal can also be configured as one of the interrupt sources.
7. Built-in timer/counter
The CTP-2798 has a timer/counter circuit that can be used as an interval timer. A software selectable clock
period of 10 µs, 100 µs, 1 ms, 10 ms, and 100 ms and a software programmable frequency divisor in the
range of 1 through 15 are supported. The output of the built-in timer/counter circuit can be used as interrupt
sources.
8. Software configurable interrupt sources

Software configurable interrupt sources are supported. Each interrupt can be masked or unmasked
individually.
9. Strobe (STB1) and acknowledgement (ACK1) signals for data input

The CTP-2798 can latch the data on the input pins when the STB1 signal goes from high-level to
low-level. This board can use the ACK1 signal to request new data from external circuits.

MCB-E2798 Ver. 1.0
10. Strobe (STB2) and acknowledgement (ACK2) signals for data output
The CTP-2798 can use the STB2 signal to indicate that it has set new data on output pins. An external
circuit can use the ACK2 signal to request new data from this board.
11. EMC gasket

The CTP-2798 is equipped with an EMC gasket on the bracket to reduce unwanted noise.

2.3 Data Transfer with Handshake Using Control Signals

By using the control signals (ACK1, ACK2, STB1, and STB2), data transfer with handshake can be achieved.
The following figure illustrates an example of data transfer with handshake.
DI board Data DO board

Input data Output data
STB
STB1 STB2
ACK
ACK1 ACK2
Computer A Computer B
First, Computer B puts the data on the DO board. Then it asserts the STB2 signal to notify the completion of the
process to Computer A. When the DI board on Computer A detects that the STB signal is asserted, it latches the
input data and notifies Computer A that the data have arrived using the STB1 register or interruption. Computer
A reads the latched data, and then asserts the ACK1 signal to notify Computer B that input data has benn read.
After the DO board recognizes that the ACK signal is asserted, it notifies Computer B that Computer A is ready
to receive new data. Then Computer B may start to transfer new data.

MCB-E2798 Ver. 1.0
2.4 Control Signals for Data Input (STB1, ACK1)

1. STB1: Input-Data Strobe Signal (in)
The input circuit block reads an STB1 signal to control its latch circuits. Depending on the settings, the
input circuits can simultaneously latch data on input pins when STB1 is asserted. At this point, the STBR1
register changes from 1 to 0. While STBR1 is 0, even if the status on the input pins changes, the latched
data are retained. STBR1 still maintains its content when STB1 is deasserted. When ACK1 is asserted,
STBR1 changes from 0 to 1. At this point, new data can be latched. To confirm status of STB1 and STBR1,
read the status register of this board. STB1 can also be used as one of the interrupt sources.
2. ACK1: Input-Data Acknowledgement Signal (out)

The ACK1 signal notifies an external circuit that the system has read the latched data. ACK1 can be
asserted low only when STBR1 is 0. ACK1 will be deasserted automatically when the two conditions,
STBR1 is 1 and STB1 is deasserted high, are satisfied at the same time. To confirm status of ACK1, read
the status register of this board.
When the power is turned on or the system is reset, STBR1 is 1 and ACK1 is high level.
3. LF: Data Latch Flag

The LF is a flag that shows whether the input circuits have latched data or not. If one or more input circuits
have latched data, the LF flag is 1.

2.5 Control Signals for Data Output (STB2, ACK2)

1. STB2: Output-Data Strobe (out)
The STB2 signal notifies an external circuit that this board has written data on its output pins. To assert or
deassert STB2, write specific data to the command register of this board. To confirm the status of STB2,
read the status register of this board.
2. ACK2: Output-Data Acknowledgement Signal (in)

The ACK2 signal can be used as a signal to notify this board that an external circuit has read the data. The
ACKR2 register changes from 1 to 0 after ACK2 is asserted. At this point, STB2 is deasserted. ACKR2
still maintains the 0 state when ACK2 is deasserted. When STB2 is asserted, ACKR2 changes from 0 to 1.
ACK2 can also be used as one of the interrupt sources.
When the power is turned on or the system is reset, ACKR2 is 1 and STB2 is deasserted.

• When you change the settings of the interrupt edge selection, interrupt source selection, or interrupt
mask. (Only the corresponding interrupt source)
• When the CompactPCI bus reset occurs.
• When the RSTIN signal is asserted.
SIGT
• When you change the interrupt mask. (Only the corresponding interrupt source)
• When the RSTIN signal is asserted.
• When the interval timer is reset.
SIGR
• When you change the interrupt mask. (Only the corresponding interrupt source)
When the computer is turned on, all interrupt requests are cleared.

MCB-E2798 Ver. 1.0
2.6.1 Interval Timer

The interval timer can be used to generate an interrupt to the host computer every timer cycle. The timer cycle
period is given by the following equation:
T = RATE × CLK.
T: Timer cycle period
RATE: 1 through 15
CLK: 10 µs, 100 µs, 1 ms, 10 ms, 100 ms
This timer begins counting immediately after both RATE and CLK are programmed, and it will keep counting
until a stop instruction is issued. It is recommended that you use an interrupt timer interval greater than or equal
to 10 ms. Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, Windows Me, Windows 98, and Windows 95
cannot handle a large number of interrupts within a short time period. In such a case, Windows may hang up or
freeze.

Notes:
• *1 The delay times TIRD1 and TIRD2 are the intervals between the instant when input signals go from
high-level to low-level or from low-level to high-level and the instant when the board requests an
interrupt on the CompactPCI bus, not when the computer begins to process the interrupt request.
• *2 TIRD3 is the delay time for output flip-flops and internal registers to be cleared after RSTIN is asserted.
Output pins require a response time of 1.0 µs plus TIRD3 to be cleared to high level.
• *3 The delay time TIRD3 is the interval between when RSTIN goes from high level to low level and when
the board requests an interrupt on the CompactPCI bus, not when the computer begins to process the
interrupt request.

• The clamping diodes in the transistor (TD62597AFN) can be used to suppress inductively induced
voltage. However, we recommend using external rectifying diodes near inductive loads.
• * The following description shows how to determine resistance of the currrent limiting resistor. Where
ILED (A) is the LED operating current, VLED (V) is the LED forward bias, VOL (V) is the low-level output
voltage of the output pin, and VDD (V) is the supply voltage, the current limiting resistance R (Ω) is
obtained by the following equation:
R = (VDD - VLED - VOL) / ILED .
Use appropriate resistors to meet the operating conditions of the LED and supply voltage.
Power consumption P (W) of the resistor is obtained by the following equation:
P = ILED2 × R.
Power consumption of the resistor must be less than the power rating of the resistor.
• This board is equipped with circuit protection devices; each device can protect as many as eight
transistors. Total current of eight transistors flows into the corresponding circuit protection device (fuse
current rating: 1 A). It cannot protect only one transistor.

4.2 Protecting Output Transistors
4.2.1 Suppressing Inductively Induced Voltage

When the dc voltage is switched off in an inductive circuit, a high voltage is induced to attempt to maintain the
current in the circuit. As a result, an arc is produced at the contact of the switch. When you use this board to
control an inductive circuit, the high voltage spike generated by switching off an inductive device may damage
the output transistor on the board. You should protect the circuit by using a clamping or despiking diode.
Rectifying Diode
The diode connects in reverse bias against the power supply positive voltage to prevent short circuit. When the
transistor switches off the circuit, the induced voltage forward-biases the diode then the current flows through
the diode. The coil is safely discharged. The reverse direction breakdown voltage of the diode requires ten times
the applied voltage.
Diode
Coil
OUT
Output transistor
COM
Zener Diode
The Zener diode connects with the coil in series and with the output transistor in parallel. When the transistor
switches off the circuit, the reverse-biased Zener diode flows the current to discharge the coil. The Zener voltage
of the Zener diode is recommended to be nearly equal to the power supply voltage.

4.2.2 Suppressing In-Rush Current

When a lamp is turned on, excessive current called as in-rush current could flow in the circuit. The overcurrent
may damage the output transistor of this board. The in-rush current could reach 10 times normal operating
current. If the peak value of the current exceeds the maximum current rating of the output transistor, you should
protect the output transistor.
Shunt Resistor
A shunt resistor connects in parallel to an output transistor to sink, or bypass, current. The resistance of the shunt
resistor may require from 20% to 30% of the lamp resistance to reduce the peak of the in-rush current to half. In
this shunt resistor configuration, the circuit dissipates power regardless of the output transistor switching state.

Series Resistor
A resistor connects in series between the lamp and the output transistor. This series resistor reduces the current
flowing in the circuit. Reducing the current decreases the brightness of the lamp.
