User Options

User options consist of connecting to the Strobe pin on the Logic Interface and connections to support DMA. The Strobe pin on the Logic Interface (pin 46) is provided for secondary clock input or output. This pin may be driven by the Channel a Multi-Purpose Output from the SCC, or it may be connected to provide for the external input the to Counter/Timer. These options are shown below in Figure 9. Note that in most cases some corresponding programming of SCC modes is required. The SCC may be programmed to drive the connected pin for other functions that those listed in the Figure below. The IndustryPack Logic Interface Specification restricts the Strobe pin to clock functions, however. Only those functions listed below should be programmed.

The IP-Octal Serial is configured to support minimum Direct Memory Access (DMA) on Channels C and D. To use DMW, program the SCC for TxRDY or RxRDY on MPOc and/or MPOd. See Figure 10 below below for DMA Shunt Assignments.
