FIGURE 14. GROSS OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION CIRCUIT
Interfacing with UARTs and
Microprocessors
Figure 15 shows a very simple interface between a free-run-
ning 8068/8052/71C03A and a UART. The five STROBE
pulses start the transmission of the five data words. The digit
5 word is 0000XXXX, digit 4 is 1000XXXX, digit 3 is
0100XXXX, etc. Also, the polarity is transmitted indirectly by
using it to drive the Even Parity Enable Pin (EPE). If EPE of
the receiver is held low, a parity flag at the receiver can be
decoded as a positive signal, no flag as negative. A complex
arrangement is shown in Figure 14. Here the UART can
instruct the A/D to begin a measurement sequence by a
word on RRI. The Busy signal resets the Data Ready Reset
(DRR). Again STROBE starts the transmit sequence. A
quad 2 input multiplexer is used to superimpose polarity,
over-range, and under-range onto the D5 word since in this
instance it is known that B2 = B4 = B8 = 0.
For correct operation it is important that the UART clock be
fast enough that each word is transmitted before the next
STROBE pulse arrives. Parity is locked into the UART at
load time but does not change in this connection during an
output stream.
Circuits to interface the 71C03(A) directly with three popular
microprocessors are shown in Figures 17, 18 and 19. The
main differences in the circuits are that the IM6100 with its
12-bit word capability can accept polarity, over-range, under-
range, 4 bits of BCD and 5 digits simultaneously where the
8080/8048 and the MC6800 groups with 8-bit words need to
have polarity, over-range and under-range multiplexed onto
the Digit 5 word - as in the UART circuits. In each case the
microprocessor can instruct the A/D when to begin a mea-
surement and when to hold this measurement.
