MA3690/1/3
1553B Bus Controller/Remote Terminal
Replaces June 1999 version, DS3587-4.0
DS3587-5.0 January 2000
The MA3690/1 chip set has three modes of operation:
remote terminal, bus controller, and passive monitor It has a
dual bus capability, requires minimum support hardware /
software and is implemented on a radiation hard, CMOS/SOS
process. For applications requiring access to Terminal Flag, a
48-Pin DIL MA3693 is available as an alternative to the
MA3690.
As a remote terminal, the MA3690/1 is fully compatible with
Mil-Std-1553B. The chip set obtained SEAFAC approval in
December 1987. All options and mode commands specified by
the Mil Std are implemented Full and meaningful use is made
of status word bits and a comprehensive bit word is provided.
A unique mechanism has been incorporated that allows
the subsystem to declare illegal commands legal, and vice
versa, before the chip set services the command. It should be
noted that use of this mechanism is optional and that the
system defaults to normal operation if the option is not
required. The chip set is easily interfaced to subsystem
memory and is sufficiently flexible to ensure compatibility with
a wide range of microprocessors.
As a bus controller the MA3690/1 has the ability to initiate
all types of 1553B transfer on either of the two buses An
instruction word is set up by the subsystem, prior to
transmission, which contains details of transfer type and bus
selection. Four bits of the instruction word have been used to
specify the conditions under which the chip set will generate a
subsystem interrupt. The most significant bits of the instruction
word have been used to specify the conditions under which the
chip set will perform an automatic retry and the number of
retries to be carried out (max. 3). At the end of each instruction
execution cycle, the chip set writes a report word into the
subsystem memory; the contents of which give the subsystem
an indication of the degree of success of the transfer.
The bus controller may be used in either of two
configurations, i.e. single shot or table driven.
In the single shot configuration, the controller is under
direct control from the subsystem (processor). In table driven
configuration, the controller is given greater autonomy to
execute a table of instructions held in either ROM or RAM.
As a passive monitor, the chip set will monitor all bus
activity and pass any associated information to the subsystem.
As the name implies, in this mode of operation, the chip set is
truly passive and will not reply to command instructions.

OPERATION IN BUS CONTROL MODE
For this mode of operation the RT/BC pin must be held in
the logic zero state. On power up the PUC or RESET line must
be pulsed low for a minimum of 500ns causing the chip set to
initialise and assume the halted state with the HALTED output
low. To release the terminal from the halted state, the
subsystem must drive the HALTREQ line through a low to high
transition, at which time the HALTED line will go inactive.
When the HALTED line goes inactive,the terminal will
address a four word deep Instruction Store as shown below,
using the C0 and Cl outputs.
This first instruction after a Reset is a NOOP.

If the Function code of the Instruction word is 10 the
terminal will disable the transmitter output stages, suspend
table execution and merely monitor the specified bus for valid
words.
No Operation - Code 11
The No Operation code provides a means of introducing
delay or a wait sequence into the table operation. In selecting
this code the terminal will be forced into the Report sequence
and provide either an increment signal (INCADRN) or an
interrupt (IRQN) if the Interrupt Always flag in the Instruction
word has been selected.

The Function Code (bits 4 and 3 of the Instruction Word)
specifies the required terminal mode of operation.
Execute - Code 00
With the Function code bits set to 00, the terminal will
execute the message as defined in the Message code bits
Self Test - Code 01
If the terminal has been selected to perform a Self Test
then the terminal transmitter output stages will be disabled and
the self test sequence entered. At the end of the Self Test the
transmitter stages will be re-enabled and a Report sequence
will be activated, in order to report on the success, or failure, of
the Self Test.
The instruction word specifies the operation which the
terminal is to carry out, and is formatted in the following way:

Note: Bit 6 of the instruction word is tied low internally.
The required data bus on which transactions take place is
defined by bit 5. In addition to this, this bit defines the bus on
which the Transmitter Self Test operation will be conducted
and the choice of the bus for monitor purposes in Passive
Monitor mode.

MA3690/1/3
Four bits of the Instruction word (bits 10-7) define
conditions under which the terminal will generate an interrupt
to the subsystem (IRQN). Note that the generation of IRQN will
only take place after any selected retry conditions have been
exhausted.
The interrupt conditions which may be selected can be
categorised as follows:
1. Interrupt if no response - the terminal will generate an
interrupt if the RT does not respond.
2. Interrupt if Status bit set - the terminal will generate an
interrupt if a received status word has a bit set other
than in the RT address field or if the wrong RT
responds.
3. Interrupt Always - the terminal will generate an
interrupt regardless of whether the message was
successful or not.
4. Interrupt if word error - the terminal will generate an
interrupt if a word encoding or word count error
occurs.
In all of the above cases, the terminal will generate a 250ns
pulse on IRQN and enter the halted state. This will occur after
the Report sequence has been executed.
Note the INCADRN will not be produced.

Definition

Note: This word should be set to 1111 HEX if the message
code is 001 or 101, or if the Function Code is not 00.
Retry Count
The two most significant bits of the instruction word specify
the number of retries to be carried out when a retry condition
has been detected. (Maximun 3 given by code 11)
RECEIVE COMMAND WORD
The receive command word is addressed when CODENN
and C1 are both low and R/WN and C0 are both high. This
word is the command word which will be transmitted for a BC
to RT transfer or as the first command word of an RT to RT
transfer.
Note: This word should be set to 1111 HEX if the message
code is 000 or 100, or if the Function Code is not 00.
TRANSMIT COMMAND WORD
The transmit command word is addressed when CODENN
and C0 are both low and R/WN and C1 are both high. This
word is the command word which will be transmitted for an RT
to BC transfer or as the second command word of an RT to RT
transfer.
DATA POINTER WORD
The data pointer word is addressed when CODENN is low
and C0, C1 and R/WN are all high. This word is intended as a
base address pointer to the subsystem data store thus
specifying where any data words associated with the current
instruction should be stored or retrieved from. As such, this
word is not read into the terminal itself but is merely transferred
from the Instruction Store to a suitable external address latch.
(The BUFENN signal is therefore inactive during this transfer).
Three bits of the Instruction word (bits 13-11) are used as
flags to specify conditions under which the terminal will
execute automatic message retries until the retry number
count is zero. The retry flags are involved with the following
conditions:
1. Retry if error - this includes a no-status response, a
word encoding error, or a wrong word count from a
responding RT.
2. Retry if Status bit set - an automatic retry will take
place if a received status word has a bit set, other
than in the RT address field, or if the wrong RT
responds.
3. Retry if Busy - this is a specific check for the setting of
the Busy bit in a responding RT’s status word.
The remaining two bits of the Instruction word specify the
number of message retries which the Bus Controller will
attempt automatically. A code of 00 specifies no retries, a code
of 11 specifies the maximum of three retries. The retries are in
addition to the initial message transmitted, hence a message
may be transmitted four times in total, if not successful. Note
that if the condition which is being tested becomes invalid, the
retry sequence will discontinue on the next message with the
Bus Controller completing execution of the message in the
relevant manner.
