Serial Output Controller - SOC004

[ Simulators / Synthesizers ]

 

The SOC004, Serial Output Controller, is a full size ISA-PC/ AT printed circuit card. The Serial Output Controller generates a serial output data stream using either static or dynamically updated data loaded from the ISA-bus. With ample memory buffers on-board, any of several modes of data generation may be used. Data is output repeatedly or in bursts. Data to be serialized may be continuously updated by way of the ISA-bus master. A frequency synthesizer, resident on the module, allows precise bit rates to be generated.

Features

  • Bit rate 1 bps through 15 Mbps
  • 13.2 in. x 4.5 in. ISA-PC/AT printed circuit card.
  • Dual 512 K x 16-bit simulation data memory buffers
  • Output format selectable, 4-16 bits / word, up to 512 K words / major cycle.
  • Output data code IRIG 106 compliant
  • Data placed into on-board Ping-Pong buffers, accessed as memory on the ISA bus.
  • End of Buffer interrupt - supports continuous (Ping-Pong) output operations.
  • TTL Serial data and clock outputs. (Optional RS-422 Outputs)
  • Can append NASCOM 22-bit CRC to block data.

Applications

  • Time Division Data Multiplexer
  • Telemetry Data Simulator
  • Command Generator

Operating Modes

  • Single Buffer
    While data is output from buffer A, the alternate buffer B may be loaded with the new data. At the end of the current buffer (A), the SOC004 will switch to the alternate buffer (B).
  • Dual Buffer Output
    The SOC004 automatically Ping-Pongs between buffers A and B. Alternately, output is derived from a single buffer until released to the other.
  • Burst
    If the BURST MODE is selected, the SOC004 ends the data and clock transmission at the end of the currently selected buffer.
