the MODE(1:0) register (address 0x1C).

Table 69: Configuration and operation mode
In Configuration mode, the configuration memory
(address 0x10 to 0x1F) can be written and read back
to check a correct communication without changing the
present configured operation state of the iC-HT. In this
mode, the memory integrity check is disabled.
The configuration memory is integrity monitored and
atomic executable (all at once: changes of the config-
urations without any direct effects, the changes are ex-
ecuted at once by command ) to the functional blocks
of iC-HT.
Integrity monitoring is implemented by a duplication of
the configuration registers into a validation page (see
description below) where the register are automatically
copied with inverted value. Every register bit is com-
pared with its validation copy and in case of difference,
a memory error is generated and both laser channels
are switched off.
Atomic appliance is achieved by latching the configu-
ration registers. This permits a full configuration (differ-
iC-HT will monitor the time elapsed in configuration
mode and automatically switch the laser off if it ex-
ceeds a configuration mode timeout. The time in con-
figuration mode must less than 40 ms for ensuring that
no configuration timeout occurs during configuration
(cf. Electrical Characteristics No. E02). The timeout
can be up to 164 ms.
When writing the configuration is completed, iC-HT is
switched to operation mode by writing "10" into the
MODE register (address 0x1C). In operation mode
the configuration is applied to the iC-HT and the mem-
ory integrity check activated. In this mode configura-
tion registers can only be read (except MODE(1:0) reg-
ister, which is always accessible). Figure 21 shows the
interface to memory structure.
