7.3.6.3 In-System IO-Pin Interface Selection

The PGA460 device is factory programmed with the time-command interface enabled on the IO-pin. In a system where the end user uses the IO-pin in a one-wire UART mode, two possible options of enabling the one-wire UART interface on the IO-pin are available as follows:

  • If access to the UART RXD and TXD pins is possible then the user can set the IO_IF_SEL bit to 1 in the EEPROM memory space and then execute an EEPROM program command to store the configuration for future use.
  • If access to the RXD and TXD pins is not possible (assuming the end product has already been assembled) then the device can be toggled between interfaces by using the pattern on the IO-pin shown in #X8051.

As show in #X8051, the data format is selected in a specific way so that a time-command interface and a UART interface can easily reproduce the pattern. The following two scenarios are possible:

    IO-Pin in time-command interface while the controller is in UART interfaceIn this case the controller can send a UART frame with the following data: 0xF0 followed by 0xF8 followed by 0xFC while the UART baud-rate is 19200 bps.
    Note:

    In this case the controller does not generate a sync field.

    IO-Pin in UART interface while the controller device is in time-command interfaceIn this case the controller generates three time-command pulses with time durations as shown in #X8051.

As soon as the data is received by the PGA460 device, the interface on the IO-pin is toggled. The pattern in #X8051 toggles the value of the IO_IF_SEL bit in the EEPROM memory; however, it does not program the EEPROM. Therefore, as soon as the PGA460 Interface is set to the target interface, the controller must issue a command to program the EEPROM with the desired configuration.

Note:

In case of toggling the selection pattern for the IO interface option, a STAT2 bit is triggered to 1. Upon reading, the STAT2 bit is cleared.
