The T-Format interface IP has been designed to provide an interface for the FPGAs to communicate with various compliant Tamagawa products such as rotary encoders.

Summary (Ask a Question)

The following table provides a summary of the T-Format interface characteristics.
Table 1. T-Format Interface Characteristics

Core Version This document applies to T-Format Interface v1.1.

Supported Device
Families|

  • PolarFire® SoC
  • PolarFire
  • RTG4™
  • IGLOO® 2
  • SmartFusion® 2

Supported Tool Flow| Requires Libero® SoC v11.8 or later releases.
Licensing| Complete encrypted RTL code is provided for the core, enabling the core to be instantiated with SmartDesign. Simulation, Synthesis, and Layout are performed with Libero software. T-Format Interface is licensed with encrypted RTL that must be purchased separately. For more information, see T-Format Interface.

Features (Ask a Question)

T-Format Interface has the following key features:

  • Transmits and receives serial data from the physical layer (RS-485 interface)
  • Aligns data as per T-Format and provides this data as registers that are read by subsequent blocks
  • Checks for errors, such as parity, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) mismatch, transmit errors, and so on, are reported by the external device
  • Provides an alarm function that is triggered if the number of fault occurrences exceeds a configured threshold
  • Provides ports for an external CRC generator block so that the user modifies the CRC polynomial if necessary

Implementation of IP Core in Libero Design Suite(Ask a Question)

IP core must be installed to the IP Catalog of the Libero SoC software. This is done automatically through the IP Catalog update function in the Libero SoC software, or the IP core is manually downloaded from the catalog. Once the IP core is installed in the Libero SoC software IP Catalog, the core is configured, generated, and instantiated within the Smart Design tool for inclusion in the Libero project list.

Device Utilization and Performance(Ask a Question)

The following table lists the device utilization used for T-Format Interface.
Table 2. T-Format Interface Utilization

Device Details| Resources| Performance (MHz)| RAMs| Math Blocks| Chip Globals
---|---|---|---|---|---
Family| Device| LUTs| DFF| LSRAM| μSRAM
PolarFire® SoC| MPFS250T| 248| 256| 200| 0| 0| 0| 0
PolarFire| MPF300T| 236| 256| 200| 0| 0| 0| 0
SmartFusion® 2| M2S150| 248| 256| 200| 0| 0| 0| 0

Important:

  1.  he data in this table is captured using typical synthesis and layout settings. CDR reference clock source was set to Dedicated with other configurator values unchanged.
  2. Clock is constrained to 200 MHz while running the timing analysis to achieve the performance numbers.

0 Rotor Angle (Data Read) 3
1 Multiturn data (Data Read) 3
2 Encoder ID (Data Read) 1

The following figure shows the functional block diagram of T-Format interface.
Figure 1-3. Functional Block Diagram of T-Format Interface IP

MICROCHIP T-Format Interface Software - Interface5 Each communication transaction in T-Format starts with a transmission of Control Frame (CF) from the requestor, followed by a frame received from the external device. The TF Transmitter block generates serial data to be sent to the external device. It also generates an optional tx_en_o signal required by some RS-485 converters. The encoder receives the data transmitted, and transmits a frame of serial data to the IP, which is received in the rx_i input port of the IP block. The TF_CF_DET block first detects the control field and identifies the ID value. The data length is determined based on the received ID value, and subsequent fields are received and stored in respective registers using the TF_DATA_READ block. After the complete data is stored, the data in all fields except the CRC field is sent to an external CRC generator block, and the calculated CRC generated by this block is compared to the CRC received. Someof the other errors are also checked, and the done_o signal is asserted (‘1’ for one sys_clk_i cycle) after every error free transaction.

1.1 Error Handling(Ask a Question)

The block identifies the following errors:

  • Parity error in the received control field
  • Bad start sequence in received control field
  • Incomplete message where the RX line is stuck at 0 or stuck at 1
  • CRC mismatch between data in received CRC field, and calculated CRC
  • Transmit Errors such as parity error or delimiter error in transmitted CF, as read from bit 6 and bit 7 of the status field (see Tamagawa datasheet).

These errors, when identified by the block, result in a fault counter getting incremented. When the fault counter value exceeds the configured threshold value (configured using g_FAULT_THRESHOLD), the alarm_o output is asserted.
The alarm output is deasserted when the alarm_clr_i input is high for one sys_clk_i period. The tf_error_o signal is used to display the type of error that has occurred. This data is reset to 0, when the next transaction begins (start_i is
‘1’).
The following table describes various errors and their corresponding bit position in the tf_error_o register.

Table 1-2. terrors Register Description

Bit Function
5 TX delimiter error – as indicated in bit 7 of status field
4 TX parity error – as indicated in bit 6 of status field
3 CRC mismatch between CRC field received from slave and calculated CRC data
2 Incomplete message – delimiter error resulting in timeout
1 Bad start sequence in received control field – “0010” not received before

timeout
0| Parity Error in received control field
