PS Block – Preliminary Simulation
Two consecutive samples above threshold – condition satisfied, data passed through.
Two consecutive samples above threshold – condition NOT satisfied, a constant value
passed through.
How this PS works:
•
•
•
•
If the 64 samples meet conditions, they are sent out after 66 clocks
If they don’t meet conditions, a constant value of 1000 is sent out
In both cases, the load_N_sample pulse is sent out after 66 clocks
PS Block can be disabled: data sent out as is, with only 1-clock delay

PS Logic
Conversion Logic(CL) can be controlled for each channel with two VME bits:
if CL[1..0]=0 => all data go through with the 66 clocks delay;
if CL[1..0]=1 => 64 samples go through with a 66 clock delay, only if at least one
sample is over threshold, else a constant value of 1000 goes through;
if CL[1..0]=2 => 64 samples go through with a 66 clock delay, only if at least two
samples are over threshold, else a constant value of 1000 goes through;
if CL[1..0]=3 => 64 samples go through with a 66 clock delay, only if at least two
successive samples are over threshold, else a constant value of 1000 goes through;
Notes:
The load_N_samples pulse has to be between 1 and 64 clocks long.
The PS Block will send it out as long as it is, but will always calculate and send out 64
samples, with a 66 clock delay.

PS – VME Register Map
register 31[5] = 0 => PS disabled: Data, load_N_samples, load_packet delayed by 1 clock;
register 31[5] = 1 => PS enabled: Data, load_N_samples, load_packet delayed by 66 clocks;
registers 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 have the threshold and logic mode for each channel:
register2[13..0]=threshold for adc[13..0], register2[15..14]=Conversion Logic for adc[13..0]
register2[29..16]=threshold for adc[27..14], register2[31..30]=Conversion Logic for adc[27..14]
register3[13..0]=threshold for adc[41..28], register3[15..14]=Conversion Logic for adc[41..28]
register3[29..16]=threshold for adc[55..42], register3[31..30]=Conversion Logic for adc[55..42]
etc.
