Error Codes
System Information
System A/D Values
NIBP Test
4.3.1 Error Codes
This screen displays the 10 most recent error codes logged by the NPB-4000/C.
After 10 error codes have been logged, the oldest error codes will be deleted as
new error codes are added. The error code is displayed in hexadecimal.
Adjacent to each error code will be the date/time when the error code was
recorded. Error codes may not be changed or reset in this screen. When in the
Error Code screen, the Return item is always highlighted; pressing the knob
will return the user to the Diagnostic Menu. Rotating the knob, while in the
Error Code screen, will have no effect.
Refer to paragraph 5.6.2 for more detail on error codes.
4.3.2 System Information
This screen displays several system-related items:

Monitor On-time: Displays the number of hours, rounded to the nearest
hour, that the Main PCB has been operational. This value may not be reset.
Note: The Monitor On-time value is stored in nonvolatile memory located in
the real-time clock chip, when a new Main PCB is installed, this value
will be reset to zero.)
Backlight On-time: Displays the number of hours, rounded to the nearest
hour, that the LCD Backlight has been operational. This value may be reset
to zero, for instance at the time when a technician changes the backlight or
installs a new LCD.
Recorder On-time: Displays the number of hours, rounded to the nearest
hour, that the Recorder has been operational. This value may be reset to
zero, for instance at the time when a technician installs a new recorder.
Battery Deep Discharges: Displays the number of deep-discharge cycles
seen by the battery. The monitor records a deep discharge cycle when the
battery voltage reaches 5.6 volts, the voltage at which a Low Battery alarm
is issued. This value may be reset to zero, for instance at the time when a
technician installs a new battery.
4-4
System Software Version: Displays the revision level of the system

software. The revision level is also momentarily shown on the LCD as part
of the Copyright screen. This value may not be changed by the user.
SpO2 Software Version: Displays the revision level of the software of the
MP-205 SpO2 module. This value may not be changed by the user.
When in the System Information screen, the knob may be rotated to select any of
the changeable items. If one of those items is selected, a press of the knob will
cause a pop-up menu to appear. The first item in the pop-up will read Make no
change; the second item in the pop-up will read Reset to zero. Exiting the
screen is accomplished in the normal manner, by selecting Return.
4.3.3 System A/D Values
This screen displays the current value of each analog-to-digital (A/D) channel, in
volts. Some of the channels are for AC-coupled signals (such as ECG input), so
the numbers on the screen will be constantly changing when an input signal is
present. These AC-coupled values are shown to give an indication as to whether
basic functionality of the channel is present, but no significance can be derived
from the values of the numbers displayed. However, others of the A/D channels
read DC voltages, (for example, power supply voltages and battery voltage)
those voltage values directly provide useful diagnostic information.
The Primary and Secondary Status messages from the SpO2 module will be
displayed and updated at the rate of about once per second. Presence of the
correct SpO2 message indicates that, at a basic level, communication between
the SpO2 module and the main monitor processor is working correctly. None of
the displayed values may be changed or reset in this screen.
When in the System A/D screen, the Return item is always highlighted; a press
of the knob will return the user to the Diagnostic Menu. Rotating the knob while
in the System A/D screen will have no effect. The A/D channel designators are
shown in Table 4-2.

4.3.4 NIPB Test
An NIBP Test screen is provided to facilitate troubleshooting problems and

performing verification testing for the NIBP subsystem. Typically, when these
tests are performed, the pneumatic system is connected to an external pressurereading device and a closed reference volume. The NIBP Test screen provides a
real-time numeric display of the pressure in the pneumatic system, means for
controlling the pump and valves, and a display indicating whether the
proportional and safety valves are open or closed.
Warning: A blood pressure cuff, connected to the monitor, should never be
applied to a human subject while the monitor is in Diagnostic Mode, as
injury could result.
The NIBP Test screen elements are described below:
Pressure Display: The real-time value of the system pneumatic pressure is
displayed in mmHg. The value is updated at the rate of approximately two
times per second.
Proportional Valve Display: The display indicates whether the proportional
valve is open or closed.
Safety Valve Display: The display indicates whether the safety valve is
open or closed.
Activate pump: For as long as the NIBP Start/Stop switch is pressed, the
pump will run. If system pressure reaches the hardware over-pressure
protection point (280 to 330 mmHg), the safety valve will open and the
pump will be disabled, until the pressure falls below the safety threshold.
Deflate: For as long as the Alarm Silence switch is pressed, the proportional
valve will open and bleed off pressure at the rate of 3 1.5 mmHg/sec.
Open Both Valves: For as long as the Heart Rate Tone Volume switch is
pressed, the safety valve and proportional valve open to maximum and
remain so for as long as the switch is pressed.
Offset Adjust: A momentary press of the Contrast Adjust switch will
invoke the zero calibration routine that is performed immediately prior to
each blood pressure measurement. This routine looks at the pressure in the
system, and if the pressure is non-zero, an offset is applied which causes the
system pressure to be displayed as zero.
When in the NIBP Test screen, the Return item is always highlighted; a
press of the knob will return the user to the Diagnostic Menu. Rotating the
knob while in the NIBP Test screen will have no effect.

10. INTRODUCTION AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

10.1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
10.1.1 The Complete NPB-4000/C Patient Monitor System
The NPB-4000/C patient monitor is a full-function monitor for use on adult and
pediatric patients. The functions performed by the system include monitoring
patient ECG, heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressures, blood oxygen
saturation, and temperature.
In addition to monitoring and displaying the status of these physiological
parameters, the instrument performs various microprocessor-programmed
analytical functions, such as:
Creating both visual and audible alarm signals when settable limits are
violated;
Creating and displaying warning messages when conditions are detected
that would degrade or prevent valid measurements;
Creating and displaying trend waveforms or tabular data;
Providing a synchronizing pulse for defibrillator operation;
Providing input to an optional recorder for printout of current or trend
waveforms or tabular data.
The monitor is essentially a battery-powered instrument. An internal charging
unit is designed to accept either an AC line voltage or DC source input voltage.
The charger uses these external power sources to maintain a float voltage
source available from the batteries.
10.2 SYSTEM BLOCK DIAGRAM
The NPB-4000/C patient monitor functions are represented graphically in the

System Block Diagram, Figure 10-1.
Each section of the System Block Diagram is described briefly in the text that
follows the illustration. This is followed by more detailed descriptions of the
theory of operation of each block.
10-1
Section 10: Introduction and System Description
Figure 10-1: NPB-4000/C System Block Diagram

10.2.1 Isolated Front End
The Isolated Front End section includes all the circuitry to convert ECG, SpO2,
and temperature measurements to digital format and to connect this information
to the processor. The respiration detection is obtained from two of the three
electrodes of the ECG connections.
Galvanic isolation of these circuits from the remainder of the monitor is
accomplished by utilizing an isolated power supply and by incorporating
opto-isolators between the Front End outputs and inputs to the microprocessor
computation and control circuitry.
10.2.2 NIBP Front End
The NIBP section contains the pumps, valves, pressure measurement circuitry,
and control circuitry for the noninvasive blood pressure measurement. Pressure
data is converted to digital format and conveyed to the processor section.
10.2.3 Power System
The power system section contains a power supply capable of operating the
monitor and charging the battery from either an AC source of 100 to 240 volts
AC at 50 to 60 Hz or a 10 to 16 volt DC input. This section also contains the
battery, battery monitoring circuitry, and battery charging circuitry. The battery
provides the operating power for the monitor.
Power system outputs of 12 volts DC, +5 volts DC, and -24 volts DC are
developed for use throughout the non-isolated portions of the monitor.
10-2
10.2.4 P, Memory, and Control
The microprocessor (P), Memory, and Control section contains the system CPU
and all digital support circuitry. The latter includes the RAM, nonvolatile
memory, and real-time clock. This section also contains the display logic,
keypad (switch) interface logic, RS-232 I/O control, defibrillator synchronization
control, and printer logic.
10.2.5 Display
The display is a cold-cathode, backlighted, fluorescent LCD unit. The pixel

resolution of 0.23 mm provides a 640x480 line display. The NPB-4000 display
is presented in black and white mode only (no gray scale). The NPB-4000C
display is presented in color.
10.2.6 Keypad (Switches) and Knob
The keypad circuit contains five push-switch membrane switches and two green
LEDs. The LEDs are driven by the power supply system and indicate the source
of externally applied power mains (AC or DC), the charging of the batteries, and
the condition of the source cable in-line fuses. Signals from the LEDs are
returned to the microcomputer for processing and control as required.
The power switch, connected directly to the supply, toggles the power between
Standby and On modes. When in Standby, the display is blank, and no
monitoring is performed. However, the batteries are charging if either an AC or
DC power source is connected to the rear panel.
The alarm silencing switch is connected directly to the processor and to the
system power supply. Pressing this switch turns off the battery fuse alarm in the
system power supply. Response of the processor depends upon the action in
pressing this switch. If momentarily pressed (less than 2 seconds), alarms are
silenced temporarily for a preset interval determined by the menu selection. If
held pressed for 2 seconds or more, the Alarm Suspend condition is initiated.
The NIBP switch output is connected to the processor. Response of the
processor depends upon the state of NIBP operation at the time and the action in
pressing this switch. If momentarily pressed (less than 2 seconds), a single NIBP
measurement is obtained. If pressed for 2 seconds or more, the processor
initiates a STAT monitoring sequence. Pressing the NIBP switch at any time a
pressure measurement is in effect will cause the processor to terminate the
measurement and to deflate the cuff.
NPB-4000. The display Contrast switch, operates in conjunction with the
Nellcor knob to determine the apparent black/white contrast setting in the
display. Changing contrast is actually a change in the viewing angle. Outputs
of the switch and knob are connected to the processor. Momentary pressing the
switch sets the contrast to mid-range, factory-default value. Momentary
pressing the switch, followed within 3 seconds by a rotation of the knob, are
processed to vary the contrast of the display. When there has been no knob
rotation for three seconds, the contrast control function is terminated by the
processor. The contrast control function also is terminated if the knob is
pressed any time within this 3-second interval.
10-3
NPB-4000C. Pressing the Contrast switch changes the background color from
white to black or black to white.
Operation of the Volume switch accomplishes similar functions for the volume
of the heart rate audible tone as the display contrast control switch does for the
display. Pressing this switch enables the knob to vary the tone volume. The
same timing consideration of 3 seconds is provided, in which to adjust the tone
volume or to terminate the action.
10.2.7 Nellcor Knob
This is a rotating, push-switch knob. The associated knob circuitry generates a

pulse when pressed and generates a digitally encoded pair of quadrature signals
whose relative magnitudes and polarities represent the angular position of the
knob. These outputs are connected to the processor where they are interpreted as
required for the functions involved. Successive angular positions determine the
direction of knob rotation.
In addition to the functions performed when in conjunction with the keypad
switches as described above, the Knob operates in conjunction with the display
to select menus and lists of parameter variables.
10.2.8 RS-232 I/O
This is a rear panel 9-pin connector providing interfaces with other computer
systems or equipment. The driver for this port is a Universal Asynchronous
Receive-Transmit (UART) integrated circuit that interfaces this port with the
microprocessor. The baud rate for this serial transmission function is
programmable from 1200 baud to 38.4 kilobaud.
One pin (9) of RS-232 connector is reserved for a Nurse Call signal. The Nurse
call signal reacts when a low, medium, or high level alarm is activated.
10.2.9 Defib Synch Pulse
The rear-panel connector for the Defib Sync Pulse is keyed so that the
connection of a cable can be detected by the processor. When a connection is
detected, the processor software initiates the generation by hardware of a
TTL-compatible pulse capable of driving 1 TTL load over a three-meter cable
with less than 200 pF capacitance.
The defib pulse is triggered by the detection of the R-wave in the QRS sequence
of the ECG waveform complex. The pulse signal is active for 10010
milliseconds.
10.2.10 Speaker
The speaker is capable of providing 73 dBA of volume at a distance of one meter

during alarm conditions. The processor drives the speaker in different patterns
as specified for the different alarm priorities and conditions. Refer to the
operators manual for descriptions of alarm responses.
10-4
10.2.11 Recorder
The optional recorder (printer) module is installed in the right panel of the
monitor. Refer to the NPB-4000/C monitor operators manual for printing
procedures. It provides users with the capability to obtain hard-copy records of
selected vital signs information. Basic control of the recorder is implemented by
two push-switch controls on the recorder front panel. One of these is used to
obtain continuous recordings of the real-time waveforms displayed in the top two
graphic frames. Along with the waveforms, the recorder prints the values of the
vital signs being displayed. The printing continues until the user presses either
recorder switch a second time.
The other control switch initiates a printout for 20 seconds of the same
information recorded by the continuous control.
If scrolling is enabled in a display frame containing trend data when the
continuous recording switch is operated, then the trend record for that vital sign
is printed. If the snapshot recording switch is operated, then only the trend data
on the display is printed.
The recorder may be programmed via the monitor menu display to print a
snapshot recording when an alarm condition occurs.
Printing is accomplished on 50-mm wide thermal paper at printer speeds
programmable up to 50 mm/sec.
10.3 ECG PROCESSING
The technique used in ECG senses the varying potential difference between two
points at the skin surface which respond to the chemical actions of the muscular
activity of the heart.
Three electrodes are attached to the patients right arm (RA), left arm (LA) and
left leg (LL). The varying potentials at these locations are cable-connected to
the ECG circuit inputs where they are conditioned, and the difference of
potential between two selected leads is digitized before transmitting through
opto-isolators to the processor. The processor-installed algorithms operate on
the signals to develop drivers for the graphic display and to compute the heart
rate in beats per minute (bpm).
In addition to the acquisition of the QRS waveform complex, the ECG input and
subsequent signal processing computing circuitry perform a number of other
functions:
They detect a lead-off condition if one of the electrode connections is
disrupted.
They detect the presence of pacemaker signals within the QRS waveform
complex of the ECG.
They generate a synchronization pulse for external use with defibrillators .
The Defib Synch Pulse output is available at a connector in the rear panel.
10.4 RESPIRATION PROCESSING
10-5
The patients respiration is detected by using two of the three leads of the ECG
electrodes and cable. A low-level excitation signal is applied to these leads, and
the variation of the thoracic impedance caused by the breathing is sensed and
processed for display and measurement.
10.5 NIBP PROCESSING
The NIBP processing uses an oscillometric technique to provide needed

measurements at selected intervals. This technique uses an inflatable
sphygmomanometer cuff similar to those used by clinicians in routine
measurements.
A motorized pump inflates the cuff to approximately 180 mmHg initially, at
which point the pressure effectively stops the flow of blood . Then, under
monitor control, the pressure in the cuff is gradually reduced, while a pressure
transducer detects the air pressure and transmits the parameter signal to the
NIBP input circuitry.
As the pressure is reduced, blood flows in the previously occluded artery, and
changes the measurements made by the transducer. The point at which
oscillation increases sharply is defined as systolic pressure . As the cuff
continues to deflate, oscillation amplitude increases to a maximum, and then
decreases. The peak oscillation amplitude is defined as the mean arterial
pressure. The point at which the system detects a rapid decrease in oscillation is
defined as the diastolic pressure.
10.6 SPO2 PROCESSING
Measurement of oxygen saturation in the blood uses a specrophotometry

technique. It is based on the facts that oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin
differ in the their absorption of red and infrared light, and that the volume of
arterial blood in tissue changes during the pulse.
Using these facts, a pulse oximeter passes red and infrared light into an arteriolar
bed and measures changes in light absorption during the pulsatile cycle. The
light sources are red and infrared light emitting diodes (LEDs), while the
detection is accomplished by a photodiode.
To identify the oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin, the monitor uses the
pulsatile nature of arterial flow. During systole, a new pulse of arterial blood
enters the vascular bed, and both blood volume and light absorption increase.
During diastole, blood volume and light absorption reach their lowest point. The
measurement is based upon the difference between maximum and minimum
absorption, focusing on the pulsatile arterial blood.
In addition to the oximetry function, the input signals may be used to calculate
heart rate.
10.7 TEMPERATURE PROCESSING
Measurement of patient temperature is accomplished by processing the signal

from a probe containing a resistor whose impedance is temperature dependent.
The class of such components is called thermistor.
10-6
The NPB-4000/C patient monitor is designed to accept the signals from

electrically isolated Series 400 probes manufactured by Yellow Springs
Incorporated. Interchangeable probes in this series may be used for esophageal,
rectal, skin or surface, or airway temperature measurement. Probes are furnished
with a standard 10-feet lead; extension leads are available.
The signal from the probe is conditioned by the monitor input circuitry,
processed, and used to drive the numeric display.

See Figure 11-1. The simplified block diagram of the previous section has been
reproduced and highlighted to indicate the circuit block that will be described in
some detail in the paragraphs that follow. As shown, the selected block is the
isolated Front End circuitry. This block contains the interfaces with the patient
connections at the input, and delivers an isolated output to the microprocessor
and controller. An expanded block diagram for this circuitry is shown in
Figure 11-2.
Figure 11-1: NPB-4000/C Simplified Block Diagram

Section 11: Isolated Front End Functions -- Theory of Operation
Figure 11-2: Isolated Front End Block Diagram
The NPB-4000/C Front End module is a part of the Main Board. It provides an
isolation barrier between a patients body and electrical potentials on the rest of
the board as well as some high voltage protection of the isolation barrier itself.
11.2 OVERVIEW
The NPB-4000/C Front End Module consists of eight major blocks: interface
circuit, ECG, respiration, temperature, controls, power supply, isolation, and
A/D converter on the non-isolated side. It also carries an SpO2 module which
uses Front End for isolation and power supply.
The ECG channel has 3-lead capability and a gain of 285. It provides two
levels of low frequency noise filtering, T-wave filtering, R-wave detection,
pacer detection capability and baseline reset.
The temperature channel provides measurements over the range of
15 to 45C using YS400 series probes.
The respiration channel incorporates the standard impedance pneumography
method of injecting 100 kHz current of 42 micro Amps into a patient
through the RA and LA leads and measuring voltage modulated by
respiration on the same leads. Respiration can be measured in the range of
200 to 2000 ohms of a body impedance with the maximum modulation of 10
ohms.
11-2
Isolation is provided by optocouplers. A total of four optocouplers are used

for digital signals and a linear optocoupler with a multiplexer is used for all
analog signals. The isolated side has its own power supply which generates
+5 volts and -5 volts for analog circuitry and +5 volts for digital circuitry.
A switching driver and an isolated transformer provide 100 kHz AC-power
to the isolated side.
An A/D converter on the non-isolated side digitizes signals coming from the
linear optocoupler line as well as three signals from the NIBP circuit and
other analog signals, such as samples of power supply voltages on the nonisolated part.
An expanded block diagram of the Front End is presented in the Figure 11-3.
Figure 11-3: Front End Block Diagram, Expanded
Circuit descriptions that follow include reference designations of components

identified in the Main PCB Schematic Drawing, Figure 17-7.
11-3
11.3 INTERFACE CIRCUIT
Figure 11-4: Interface Circuit Block Diagram
The interface circuit shown in the highlighted portion of the expanded block
diagram, provides physical connection between patient connectors on the unit
and preamplifier and other signal conditioning circuitry of the isolated Front
End. It also incorporates ESD, defibrillator, and electrosurgery voltage
suppression.
The instrument incorporates the standard ECG 3-lead system (I, II, III). The
abbreviations RA, LA, and LL are the right arm, left arm, and left leg leads,
respectively, and I, II, III are the potential differences between the limbs. The
ECG signals through a patient cable are fed to a panel connector and through the
panel harness to the board connector J11. All leads are protected by voltage
suppressers. Suppressers D27, D25, and D24 are intended to clamp
differentially applied defibrillation and voltages to around 160 volts, with the
current limited to approximately 2.5Amps by two 1 kilo-ohm, 1W resistors
installed in a standard ECG cable. The same suppressers will clamp ESD
voltages close to 80 volts, relative to isolated ground. The R-C networks R278,
C162, R279, C164, R254, C150; R261, C157, R247, C148, R246, and C146
provide further voltage and current limiting to the levels safe for inputs of the
multiplexers having their own over-voltage protection of 0.5 volts over supply
voltages. The same R-C networks will provide for ESU and RFI attenuation and
rejection of 100 kHz respiration signal in the ECG channel.
There are six other nets permanently connected to RA and LA leads. These are
used for respiratory measurements. Two of them are connected to a high
frequency source U81, two others to the inputs of signal followers U75C, and the
last two, R121, C68 and R257, C178, are balancing LL to the isolated ground.
The respiratory nets rely on the same suppression circuits as the main leads.
The temperature sensor signal is brought through a panel connector, and the
common lead is connected to the reference through ESD voltage suppresser D23.
Capacitors C131 and C136 are used to filter out RFI signals.
11-4
The SpO2 sensor signal is brought through a panel connector and a separate
panel cable to the board connectors J101 and J100. The Front End also has an
SpO2 output connector J10, into which the SpO2 module (MP-205) is plugged.
11.4 ECG
Figure 11-5: ECG Circuit Block Diagram
See Figure 11-5. As shown in the highlighted portion of the expanded block
diagram, the ECG circuitry consists of the lead selection, preamplifier, amplifier
and filter, R-wave detector, and pacemaker detector circuitry.
11.4.1 Preamplifier, Amplifier and Filter.
The ECG preamplifier connects to a patient via three leads. At any time, two of
the leads are selected by the multiplexer U79 and connected to the inputs of the
instrumentation amplifier U80 configured to have a gain of four. A common
mode signal at the amplifier input is measured by the amplifier U75B, and used
to drive the patient body via the amplifier U75A, resistor R291, and multiplexer
U78 so that the common mode signal on the body and the output of the
preamplifier would be eliminated. The amplifier U75B is also used for driving
the shield with the common mode signal to eliminate capacitance loading.
The output of the drive amplifier U75A is used for leads-off detection. To
implement this function, input leads of the differential amplifier are connected to
the VDD supply through 20 megohm resistors R252 and R266. If any of the
patient leads become disconnected from the body, the output of the drive
amplifier U75A will go to a rail. A window comparator U77D is used to detect
this event by producing a positive going signal sent to the A/D converter.
11-5
The preamplifier is followed by a 0.05 Hz high-pass filter made of capacitor

C147 and resistors R248 and R249. The corner frequency can be changed by
software to 0.5 Hz, set by resistors R238 and R250 and switch U63B. If a
common mode charge on the capacitor C147 will offset the baseline to the point
where ESG signal clipping is detected, it can be quickly removed under software
control through the analog switch U63C and limiting resistor R239. The ECG
circuit is completed by an amplifier U73B set for gain of 41 and a two-pole
Chebychev low-pass active filter, U74C, with the cutoff frequency of 50 Hz and
the gain of 1.75. The U74C has a +2.5 volts offset determined by resistors R225
and R236 to convert bipolar signals to unipolar format, as required by linear
optocoupler. Thus, the total output swing of the ECG channel is about 1.5 volts.
11.4.2 R-wave Detector.
The ECG signal is further used to detect R-wave peaks. Active bandpass filter
with U71A amplifier has the center frequency of 14 Hz and the passband of
5 Hz. This filtering should eliminate false triggering in case of tall T-wave
following R-wave. The signal is rectified by the full-wave rectifier made of
amplifiers U71B and U71C, and dual-diode D13. This signal is used as one
input to the comparator U74D. Sample-and-hold circuit consists of amplifier
U71D, diode D17, capacitor C137, and discharge resistors R219 and R229. The
resistors ratio sets the level of the comparator which goes to the positive rail
when the next R-wave signal reaches the preset level of the previous R-wave
signal held in the capacitor. The comparator signal turns on the monostable
multivibrator U64A, which generates a 130-millisecond pulse. The pulse is sent
to SpO2 circuit and to analog multiplexer via divider R180, R186.
11.4.3 Pacemaker Detector.
Pacers are detected by the dV/dt circuit made of amplifier U74A, resistor R251,
and capacitor C152. The circuit output will go to approximately 1.4 volts when
pacer is detected. This will set off the window comparator built around
amplifier U74B and turn on monostable U64B to create an 8-millisecond pulse
sent to the analog multiplexer via divider R179, R185.
11-6
11.5 RESPIRATORY CIRCUIT
Figure 11-6: Respiratory Circuit Block Diagram
As shown in the highlighted portion of the expanded block diagram, Figure 11-6,
the Respiratory circuitry includes the ECG leads, and some control circuitry.
Respiration is detected by measuring modulation of a high frequency AC signal
sent to a body. The AC signal is 100 kHz, 4 volts peak square-wave
complementary signals are produced by oscillator U81. These signals, via
resistors R288 and R271, generate 42 microamps p-p current which is injected in
a body through patient leads RA and LA. The AC voltage drop on these leads is
respiration modulated and fed through high-pass filters C94, R244, C95, R228,
and resistors R129 and R141 to a multiplexer U76 via buffers U75C and U75D.
The multiplexer is controlled by the same AC signal that generates current and,
in conjunction with amplifier U77C having gain of 9, comprise a synchronous
detector.
The DC component of the filtered signal is removed by 0.1 Hz high-pass filter
C134, C172, R205, and R204, and the remaining low frequency respiration
signal is fed for further amplification. The capacitors C134 and C172 can be
quickly discharged through U63D switch under software control in case of
significant baseline drift. Amplifier U72B has a gain of 667 and creates +2.5
volts offset via resistors R215 and R216 to convert bipolar signals to unipolar
format. Complete swing of the output is about 1.5 volts p-p, and the signal is fed
to the linear optocoupler multiplexer.
11.6 TEMPERATURE CIRCUIT
The temperature is measured in the body range of 15 to 45C using Yellow

Spring series 400 thermistor thermometers. Thermistor with the resistance range
of 3539 to 984.2 ohms is connected as a feedback of amplifier U72A. The
reference signal of 1.235 volts is supplied by voltage reference U70 through
precision resistor R217. The temperature, therefore, is measured using output
ratios. Other ratios have to be arrived at by using Yellow Spring thermistor
value chart. Resistors R203, R218 and capacitor C130 comprise a low pass
filter.
11-7
11.7 OPTOCOUPLERS
Figure 11-7: Optocouplers Block Diagram
See Figure 11-7. The optical couplers that isolate the Front End signals from the
non-isolated digital hardware are of two types: Linear and Digital.
11.7.1 Linear optocoupler
All analog signals, ECG, Respiration, Temperature, VREF and AGND, as well
as voltage levels of binary signals PM( pacemaker), QRS (R-wave), and
LOFF(leads off) are fed to the inputs of analog multiplexer U67 and to the linear
optocoupler U57. The optocoupler has an LED and two matched sensing
photodiodes and works in a servo mode with two operational amplifiers, U60
and U51. Input current set by multiplexer output and resistor R166 is compared
by U60 with the current of input photodiode. The LED is controlled by U60
until two currents are equal. The current of the output diode mirrors the input
diodes current, thus producing an image of the multiplexer voltage at the output
of U57. Operational amplifiers maintain very close to zero impedance at diode
outputs, which provides for very linear diode currents and a very linear and
stable current ratio. A small positive DC offset is provided from divider R168,
R169 to compensate for possible amplifier negative voltage offset.
11.7.2 Digital Optocouplers.
Digital optocouplers are inverting, high-gain, low-power types. The baud rate is
set for 50 kHz operation. Inverter U61 provides inversion of optocoupler
signals.
11-8
11.8 CONTROLS
Figure 11-8: Controls Block Diagram
See Figure 11-8. The isolated control signals are developed and applied in the
highlighted blocks as shown in the block diagram.
Front end operations are controlled by serial signals on ADCTX line clocked by
signals on ADCCLK line. These serial signals from the Main Board CPU are
fed to the Front End through opto-isolators U55 and U56 with pull-ups R182 and
R173. Signals inverted by U61 go to eight-bit Serial-in/Parallel-out Shift
Register U66. The beginning of a stream sets up one-shot retriggerable
multivibrator U62A for the duration of 130 microseconds. The stream is 16 bits
long, and each pulse retriggers the one shot. At the end of the stream, and after a
130 microseconds time-out, the parallel set of bits representing the last eight bits
in the serial stream will be latched in an eight-bit buffer.
The bits represent different control functions. A group of three bits, MuxA,
MuxB, and MuxC, control eight-bit data multiplexer U67; and a group of two
bits, LSEL1 and LSEL2, control four-bit lead select multiplexers U79 and U78.
Two others are individual bits, 0.5 Hz controls corner frequency of the high-pass
filter, and ECGRES controls baseline reset.
The bit assignment is as follows(MSB first):
Bit 9

The parity bit is set for odd and is checked in the odd/even parity checker U65.
Even parity, if detected, represents an error and the U65 output signal will turn
on switch U63A. The switch will drive the output of U60 amplifier beyond the
normal range of data signals and will set A/D output at all ones, which will be
interpreted as an error.

11.9 A/D CONVERTER
A/D converter U53 on the non-isolated side is a 12-bit, 100 kHz sampling rate
device with serial control and 14 analog inputs (3 are internal and 11 are
external). It is configured for unipolar operation, 5 volts input and 16-bit cycle.
The converter has four control lines: ADCS*(CS*), ADCRX(DATA/OUT),
ADCTX(DATA/IN) and ADCCLK(I/CLK). Clock rate is set at 25 kHz. Each
control burst is 16 bits long. The first eight-bit encode control information for
the converter (MSB first) is: four-bit analog channel address (D7-D4), two-bit
data length select (D3-D2), output format MSB or LSB first encode (D1) and
unipolar or bipolar output select (D0). The last eight bits are ignored (they are
used, though, to control operations of the isolated part).
When selected, the converter enables DATA INPUT and the I/O CLOCK and
removes DATA OUT from the high impedance state. The I/O CLOCK shifts out
data from the previous conversion and clocks in control bits for the current
conversion. On the fourth falling edge of the I/O CLOCK the next channel
selection is complete and the converter goes into the sampling mode. The falling
edge of the 16th I/O CLOCK puts data in hold, takes EOC low and begins the
current conversion which lasts for 10 millisecond. If the selected channel is
ISOAD the data comes from a channel of multiplexer U67, selected during
previous serial burst. At least 80 microseconds delay is required between serial
11-10
bursts. This will provide enough time out for multiplexer control data to be
latched. The multiplexer has at least four clock cycles of I/O CLOCK to settle
before A/D sampling begins.

11.10 ISOLATED POWER SUPPLY
The isolated power supply consists of high-current switched driver, U54,

isolation transformer T1, two full-wave rectifiers with dual diodes D11 and D10,
filter capacitors C122 and C127 and three voltage regulators. Regulators U83
and U68 provide +5 volts and -5 volts for analog circuitry and regulator U69
provides +5 volts for digital circuitry on both Front End and SpO2 boards.
Switched driver U54 is controlled by square wave 100 kHz signals from the CPU
and powered by the main power supply 12 volts regulator.
11.11 SPO2 BOARD
The SpO2 board (MP-205) plugs into the main board and uses it for power
supply and isolation. The SpO2 input signal through D-type panel connector and
Front End connector J101 is fed to the receptacle J100; power, control, and
output signals go to the receptacle J10. Two output signals are asynchronous:
serial link RX and TX. Serial TX controls optocoupler U59, and RX is
controlled by optocoupler U58. Control signal is ECG_SYNC which comes
from the R-wave detector.
11.12 ISOLATION
The isolation barrier is provided by isolation transformer T1, linear optocoupler

U57, and digital optocouplers U59, U58, U55, and U56. Spark gap SG1 is used
to protect isolation components against over-voltage exceeding their limits.

measurement and display operations described in this section include the
pneumatics of the inflatable cuff and control valves, the specialized Front End
NIBP circuitry, some of the microprocessor memory and control circuitry, some
of the power system, and specific switches on the keypad. These are highlighted
in the main system block diagram, as shown, with a distinction among the

Figure 12-1: NPB-4000/C System Block Diagram
The major blocks involved from the cuff to the microprocessor are shown in the
simplified block of the NIBP see Figure 12-2. The pump and motor, mounted on
the power system assembly, are driven by a pulse-width-modulated (PWM)
signal from the digital hardware section of the main board assembly. That signal
is gated by an enabling signal originating in the microprocessor of the section of
the main board. The pumped air is ducted through tubing and valves mounted on
the main board and made available at the Front End connection to the cuff.
12-1
Section 12: NIBP - Theory of Operation
Figure 12-2: NIBP System Block Diagram
Prior to making blood pressure measurements, the cuff is placed around a limb,
typically an upper arm (left or right). The NIBP measurement system is initiated
by commands responding to pressing the NIBP Start/Stop switch on the front
panel. The cuff is inflated at a rate controlled by the pump excitation current to
a pressure above systolic, at which level the artery is effectively occluded. Then,
as the cuff pressure is reduced at constant rate, the pressure transducers provide
analog signals to the digital hardware where they are digitized and processed to
obtain systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure values, as well as the beat
rate.
The technique for translating the pressure signals into the required measurements
makes use of the action of the oscillatory characteristic of the returning arterial
pressure. The phenomenon is illustrated in the diagram below.
See Figure 12-3. Systolic pressure is defined as the point at which oscillation
increases sharply. As the cuff deflates, oscillation amplitude increases to a
maximum, and then decreases. The point of peak oscillation amplitude is the
mean arterial pressure. The point at which oscillations cease is defined as the
diastolic pressure
Figure 12-3: Oscillatory Characteristics Diagram
12-2
12.2 THE PNEUMATIC ASSEMBLY
The pneumatic assembly, consisting of the pump, two controlling valves, and
tubing to connect the various pneumatic components together are illustrated in
the schematic diagram that follows.
See Figure 12-4. The pump output is connected to the cuff and to two valves: a
two-way proportional control valve (V2) and a three-way valve (V1), as well as
to two pressure transducers. Operation of the valves and of the pump control are
defined as described in the following text.
Figure 12-4: Pneumatic Assembly Block Diagram
Valve V1 is a three-way valve. In the V1 deenergized position, the portion of

the pneumatic system encompassing the cuff and pump are open to the
atmosphere, thus preventing the cuff from being pressurized. In the V1
energized position, the cuff and pump are connected to V2 and the pressure
transducers. When V2 is closed, action of the pump will pressurize the cuff.
Control valve V2 is used to bleed pressure from the cuff during an NIBP
measurement, at a controlled deflation rate.
12.3 NIBP HARDWARE
See Figure 12-5. The NIBP analog control hardware is highlighted in the block
diagram. It includes the Front End NIBP circuitry, as well as the pressure
transducers and pump. Refer to the main PCB schematic drawing, Sheet 2,
Figure 17-6, in connection with the circuit operation descriptions.
Figure 12-5: NIBP Hardware Block Diagram
12-3
12.3.1 Pressure Transducers
Pressure transducers PS1 and PS2 convert pneumatic pressure levels to voltages
in the range from 0.33 volts at 0 mmHg to 4 volts at 300 mmHg. Transducer
PS1 is used to sense the main cuff pressure. Transducer PS2 is used as a backup
cuff pressure sensor, from which over-pressure warning signals are obtained.
Both transducers outputs are smoothed to remove the effects of pumping
pulsation. The output of PS1 is identified as signal NIBPPRSR1, while that of
PS2 is NIBPPRSR2.
12.3.2 Filtering the Oscillatory Signal
Amplifiers U16-1 and U16-14, in combination with the lumped resistance and
capacitance values of the passive components, form a band pass filter that
separates and amplifies the oscillatory signals OSC from the deflating cuff
transducer signal NIBPRSR1. Amplifier U16-8 provides hysteresis.
12.3.3 Power Supplies
Battery power, VBATTP, connected to the board at J3, pins 13 and 14, is
regulated in U15 when that component is enabled by the NPANPWR analog
power On/Off signal input to U10-4. The regulator accepts a battery voltage of 6
to 8 volts and delivers regulated +5 volts to power the pressure transducers and
biasing circuitry for the operational amplifiers.
12.3.4 Over-Pressure Detector
Pump and valve drivers are controlled by the NPPVEN pump and valve enable
signal that is generated in U16-7 level-detector amplifier circuit. One input to
that amplifier is the NIBPRSR2 signal from transducer P2. The other is a value
determined by voltage divider R68 and R64, and feedback resistor R61.
The pump and valve drivers are enabled only when cuff pressure is below
nominal 330 mmHg for adult mode, and below 165 mmHg for neonatal
measurements.
12.3.5 Pump and Valve Drivers
Three-way valve V1 coil is powered by VPS that is switched in series with the
coil through n-channel MOSFET Q10-6. Switching action of Q10-6 is
controlled by the input signal NP3WYV, that is gated by the enabling signal
NPPVEN at switch U23. The VPS signal is developed from VBATTP through
Q11-6 that is also controlled by NPVEN gating transistor Q6. Diode D5 acts to
suppress voltage spikes. Resistor R101 ensures that Q10-6 will be OFF in case
of an open to the input line. The valve is either fully closed, or fully open.
Control valve V2 coil is powered by VBATTP and controlled by switching nchannel MOSFET Q10-7 in series with the coil. Q10-7 is controlled by input
signal NIBPCNTLVLV. Pulse width modulation (PWM) of a five-volt level is
used to operate the control valve. No-voltage results in a fully closed valve. As
the duty cycle of the PWM is varied from 0 to 100 percent, the valve changes
smoothly from fully closed to fully open. Repetition rate for the PWM is at least
9 kHz. Diode D4 suppresses voltage spikes, and resistor R100 assures that
Q10-7 will be OFF if the input line should open.
12-4
12.3.6 NIBP Pump Control
Note: The following description is duplicated in the Power Supply section.

Reference designations for the two paragraphs that follow are found in
power supply schematic drawing, Figure 17-3and Figure 17-4.
The power supply mechanical assembly holds the blood pressure pump and
shield. The power supply contains circuitry that allows logic level control of the
pump power from the processor board. For single-point fault protection, the
pump requires two signals (PUMPON and PVENB to activate the pump.
PUMPON (when high) turns on FET Q18 that pulls the bottom lead of the motor
to ground. The PVENB signal through level translator Q19, turns on FET Q17
that pulls the top motor lead to VBATT.
When no voltage is present at Q18, the pump is fully off. As the duty cycle
increases from 0 to 100 percent, the pump power changes smoothly from full
OFF to fully ON. This control technique minimizes overshoot of the targeted
pressure. Diode D32 suppresses voltage spikes, while R78 ensures that Q18 will
be OFF if the line opens. Resistor R77 and capacitor C46 suppress motor brush
noise.
12.3.7 Digital Signal Processing and Information Display
NPB-4000/C software, resident in the microprocessor controller and memory

peripherals, include the algorithms needed to process the digitized outputs of the
digital hardware just described. It also includes the system software that
responds to the commands for desired modes of NIBP measurements, display of
NIBP values of systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure, storing trend data,
and for recording/printing of such data, and for initiation and silencing alarms.
Details of these functions are contained in the theory of operation of the
microprocessor and control circuitry.

13. MICROPROCESSOR COMPUTER AND CONTROL THEORY OF OPERATION

13.1 GENERAL
The NPB-4000/C digital design is based on an Intel 386EX microcontroller,

which has a 386SX microprocessor core and peripheral blocks around it. The
internal peripherals are all controlled by on-board programmable registers. In
order to save power, this design has a Vcc = 3.3 volts.
The data from the Front End (ECG, temp, resp) is multiplexed through a linear
opto isolator to a 12-bit A/D converter, which is connected to the on-board
synchronous serial port. The synchronous serial port is controlled by the
on-board DMA unit.
The LCD display is a 640x480 black and white display that is connected to an
S-MOS 1351FLB controller chip. This chip interfaces via the data bus to the
386EX. It has two 32kx8 SRAMs for data storage. The backlight is controlled
by enabling +12 volts to the inverter board. The contrast for the LCD is
controlled from the onboard -24 volts.
The main executable memory is a 256Kx16 flash memory which takes the upper
512k bytes of address space. This flash contains the boot program and the
executable program for controlling the whole unit.
A 512-kbyte DRAM is located in lower memory starting at location 0 and is used
for data storage and manipulation. The DRAM also has the ability to execute
code when programming the flash with a new program from the external RS-232
port.
An RTC (real-time clock) chip is connected which keeps date and time of day.
This unit has 64 bytes of battery-backed-up RAM; 14 bytes are used for the
real-time clock (RTC), and 50 bytes are available for the software to use.
The recorder (thermal printer) and the external RS-232 port are controlled from
software via a duart (dual serial port chip). These ports are the same as the com
ports used on a PC and the duart is programmable via software.
13-1
Section 13: Microprocessor Computer and Control Theory of Operation
The SpO2 unit (MP-205) is connected to an asynchronous serial port via optoisolators.
The push switches and rotating knob interface to the 386EX via the FPGA
circuit. They are polled by the software at a 200-Hz rate.
The speaker is connected to an amplifier circuit, that is connected to a digital
potentiometer. The programmable frequency is generated in the FPGA and
connects to this programmable digital pot. The software controls the volume by
programming this digital pot.
The defib sync pulse is bit-programmed via software and goes to the outside
world via a digital driver.
The NIBP circuit is controlled by various port bits and control circuits in the
ASIC.
13.2 POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
Figure 13-1: Power Supply Interface
See Figure 13-1. The power supply system provides the power for the main
board and all of the circuitry in the system. It also contains control circuits for
turning on and off the power, as well as supplying the battery backup for the
system.
13.2.1 Voltages
The microprocessor and its associated circuits are powered from the regulated
3.3 volts generated on the power supply board. The 3.3 volts powers the
microcontroller, DRAM, flash, LCD controller and a portion of the LCD
contrast circuit, memory, the DUART, and real-time clock. The 5 volts powers
the Nellcor knob, A/D converter, a portion of the LCD contrast circuit, and a
portion of the speaker circuit. The 12 volts powers portions of the LCD contrast
circuit and speaker circuit, the backlight inverter input voltage, and the op amp
for the battery voltage and temperature-monitoring signals going to the A/D
converter. The -24 volts is used to drive the LCD contrast regulator.
13-2
13.2.2 Microcontroller Signals
The battery and microcontroller have two signals that connect directly with each
other, EARLY WARNING and PS OFF. The battery circuits generate an
EARLY WARNING signal to the microcontroller that the power is going down
within 100 millisecond. This EARLY WARNING signal could be due to the
power On/Standby switch being depressed or from the battery voltage getting too
low. The signal is connected directly to INTERRUPT 5 and INTERRUPT 7.
The software will save any information it must save and finish its housekeeping
before sending the PS OFF signal back to the battery circuits.
13.2.3 Membrane Switch and LED Signals
13.2.3.1 Membrane Switches Connected to the Power Supply
The power supply circuit connects directly with the ON/Standby switch and the
two LEDs on the membrane switch. The On/Standby switch goes directly from
the membrane switch to the power supply board. This is to allow powering up
when off. Another switch, the Alarm Silence switch also goes to the battery
circuit. Unlike the On/Standby switch, this switch also goes to the
microcontroller.
13.2.3.2 Power Supply Generated LED Signals
The power supply circuits generate two LED driving signals, one that indicates
that the AC mains is connected, and one that indicates that the DC power is
connected. When the AC Mains LED is being driven on, a high voltage level
goes to the 386EX port 1 bit 6 as the AC mains input status bit. When the LED
is off, the signal is a logic low. The software will interpret the signal levels so as
to tell whether the AC mains is connected or not. The same is true with the DC
connector. The signal driving the DC LED goes to port 1, bit 7. This indicates
the DC power status.
13.2.4 Battery Signals to the A/D Converter
The battery voltage and temperature signal is sent to the main board where it is
buffered by an amplifier circuit that converts it to a signal within the 0-5 volts
range of the A/D converter. The BATTSNS+ signal is sent directly to the Main
Board and is divided by two by a resistor divider circuit on the positive input to
the amplifier. The amplifier has a gain of two, which brings the signal back to
its original signal level and then it is resistor-divided to the 0-5 volts range for
the A/D converter.
13.2.5 Sync/Alarm 50kHz Signal
The power supply needs a 50 kHz signal to synchronize its own internal
operation and to keep the alarm from sounding if the watch dog timer (WDT)
times out. The 50 kHz signal is anded with the watchdog timer (WDT), and if
the WDT should time out, the power supply circuit will sound the alarm and shut
down the Main Board.
13-3
13.3 NIBP PROCESSING
See Figure 13-2. The NIBP circuits consist of microprocessor control for
turning on and off certain signals, control logic generating the pump PWM and
valve PWM, and status signals.
Figure 13-2: NIBP Processing Circuitry Block Diagram

13.3.1 NIBP Signals Going to the A/D Converter
The NIBP circuits generate three analog signals which must be converted to a
digital code, the pressure from transducer 1, the pressure from transducer 2, and
the oscillatory signal from pressure transducer 1. The signals are connected to
the A/D converter for conversion and subsequent processing by the
microprocessor.
13.3.2
Pressures 1 and 2
The pressure transducers output 0.33 volts at 0 mm-Hg to 4 volts at 300 mmHg.
Transducer 1 is used for the main cuff pressure signal from which blood pressure
results are calculated. Transducer 2 is used as the backup cuff pressure signals
from which over-pressure warnings are obtained. These pressure voltages go to
the A/D converter and are monitored by the software.
13.3.3 Oscillatory Signal
Transducer 1s signal is also filtered and amplified to separated cuff pressure

oscillation signals that are present on the cuff pressure signal during the deflate
portion of the measurement cycle. This signal also goes to the A/D converter
and software algorithms detect the blood pressure systolic and diastolic values.
13.3.4 Microcontroller Control and Status Signals
There are five signals that interface directly with the microcontroller and NIBP
circuits. Four of the signals are for control of the NIBP circuits from the
microcontroller software and one signal is a status signal fed back to the
software. All of the signals require 0-5 volts levels by the NIBP circuits, so each
13-4
of them is buffered by a logic gate that is connected to 5 volts. The inputs to

these buffers are TTL-compatible and will switch when the input goes below
0.8 volts or above 2.4 volts.
13.3.5 Analog Power On/Off - Port 1 Bit 1
This signal turns on the power to the NIBP circuits via a regulator run from the
battery. To turn on the NIBP circuits, port 1 bit 1 must be set by software to a
high state.
13.3.6 3-Way Valve On/Off - Port 1 Bit 2
This bit controls the three-way pressure valve which is a back safety valve for
the cuff pressure. A high signal allows a blood pressure measurement to occur,
while a low signal dumps the air and the cuff is prevented from pressurizing.
13.3.7 Pvenable - Port 3 Bit 7
This bit is generated by the NIBP circuits for software monitoring of the
over-pressure condition. Normal operation occurs when this signal is at a high
level, indicating the cuff pressure is normal, while a low signal indicates an
over-pressure condition.
13.3.8 Valve PWM Signal - FPGA
The FPGA control circuit produces a pulse-width modulated signal that is routed
to the control valve for relieving the cuff pressure in an orderly manner for blood
pressure measurement. The software programs an eight-bit register in the FPGA,
which outputs a high pulse level for a programmable time, then a low level for a
period of time. The high level is programmed by the software and the FPGA
circuit automatically generates the low portion of the signal.
When this signal is low, the valve is fully closed. As the duty cycle of the PWM
is varied from 0 to 100 percent, the valve changes smoothly from fully closed to
fully open. The PWM repetition rate must be a minimum of 9 kHz. The circuit
uses an eight-bit counter clocked at 5 MHz. This gives a 19.5 kHz
programmable signal period, well above the 9 kHz minimum.
13.3.9 Pump Motor PWM Control Signal - FPGA
The software programs an eight-bit register in the FPGA circuit to generate a

PWM control signal to the pump motor. When the signal is at a low level, the
pump is off. A PWM signal is generated to turn on the pump in a smooth
fashion by varying the duty cycle from 0 to 100 percent. There is an eight-bit
counter that is clocked at 78 kHz. This gives a 304 Hz signal frequency for
pump operation. Minimum pump PWM frequency for proper operation is
300 Hz.
13.4 RECORDER OPERATION
See Figure 13-3. The recorder is a thermal recorder option that is supplied by
General Scanning Corp. This recorder has a self-contained microprocessor and
control circuits for properly operating the recorder from commands sent to it via
UART serial connection. The detailed operation of the recorder is specified in
the operational manual supplied by the vendor.
13-5
Figure 13-3: Recorder System Block Diagram

13.4.1 Recorder/Microcontroller Interface
The recorder is interfaced to the microcontroller via a DUART that has two
UARTs programmed by the software. The DUART has a UART0 and a
UART1, each with a full UART signal complement. The circuit uses UART1 of
the DUART for the recorder interface. This UART has 16-byte fifos on each of
the receive and transmit channels. The software programs the UART by setting
the chip select unit, CS4 to I/O addresses for the recorder and then programming
the internal registers for baud rate, parity, and bit count. Up to 16 bytes can be
transferred to the UART, which will transmit serially to the recorder . The
UART generates RS-232 signals in TTL/CMOS compatible signal levels. The
recorder takes 0-5 volt signals, so each of the signals to/from the recorder must
be translated from/to 3.3 volts/5 volts. This is done with the HCT244 buffers.
The UART signals and recorder signals are listed below.
Host transmit
printer reset bit
Host receive
Host CTS
-> printer receive

-> printer reset
<- printer transmit
<- printer clear to send
The host signals are generated by the programmable UART.

13.4.2 Recorder Power
The recorder requires 5 volts for logic operation and 10-18 volts for print head
operation. The power for the recorder is generated on the power supply board
and goes directly to the recorder from the power supply board. It is merged with
the control signals to make one 50-pin cable going to the recorder interface
board.
13-6
13.5 ISOLATED FRONT END INTERFACE
Figure 13-4: Isolated Front End Block Diagram
See Figure 13-4. The interface to the Front End electronics is shown above and
consists of using the microprocessors synchronous serial unit to interface to the
A/D converter. The synchronous serial unit interfaces with the DMA unit,
which passes the data to be transmitted to the A/D. The data received from the
A/D goes to the other DMA channel and is transferred to a data buffer.
13.5.1 A/D Converter Transmit Control
The A/D converter initiates a conversion when it receives a serial stream from
the microprocessor. The processor software sets up the DMA, synchronous
serial unit, and timer channel 0 to work together to transfer control words to the
A/D and Front End. The timer is set for a rate of 800 Hz and its output is
programmed to go directly to the DMA unit. The DMA unit passes data from
the DRAM to the SSIO unit, which in turn transmits the 16-bit word to the A/D
and the Front End. The first eight bits transmitted are stored by the A/D and
interpreted. A conversion starts. At the same time, the previous conversion is
transmitted back to the SSIO unit (this is discussed in the next section). The last
eight bits are read by the Front End and are used to select the Front End mux
channel (three bits), initiate baseline reset (one bit), lead select (two bits), and
select a 0.5 Hz filter (one bit). The eighth bit is a parity bit, which is checked by
the Front End circuit. The software puts together a buffer with this data and
programs the DMA channel to transmit the data words each time the timer
generates a DMA request.
13-7
13.5.2 16-Bit Word Transmitted to the A/D Converter and Front End
Figure: 13-5: 16 Bit Word

13.5.3 A/D Converter Receiver Control
The A/D converter is a pipelined converter and transmits the result of the
previous conversion when receiving the next transmission for a conversion. The
previous conversion is transmitted to the SSIO units receiver and the SSIO then
requests a DMA transfer to memory.
13.5.4 SpO2 INTERFACE
The microprocessors asynchronous channel 2 (SIO2) is used to interface to the

SpO2 unit via opto-isolators. There are two signals, transmit and receive. This
is a UART-type unit and when the SpO 2 transmits, the SIO receives the data and
generates an interrupt to the software. When the software wants to transmit a
byte to the SpO2, it transfers data to the SIO transmitter and the SIO unit
automatically transmits it to the SpO 2.
13.5.5 ISOLATED FRONT END POWER SIGNALS
The isolated Front End requires its own power supply and voltages, separate
from the other voltages in the system. The FPGA generates a 100 kHz signal
that connects to an isolation transformer. These signals are enabled/disabled by
a bit in the CS5 control register. These signals are also connected to, and in
synchronization with, the 50 kHz power supply clock. Resetting the Front End
can be accomplished by turning the 100 kHz clock off, then back on again. This
turns the Front End power supply off, then back on.
13.6 RS-232 SERIAL PORT INTERFACE
The RS-232 output serial port uses one of the asynchronous units of the
DUART. It is programmed by the software using CS4 and the A3 address bit set
to 0. This is done in the FPGA and output as DUARTCS0. The eight
programmable registers are internal to the UART channel and are set up for baud
rate, parity, number of bits to transmit, and start and stop bits. This channel also
has an internal register with an extra bit. The circuit uses this bit as the
NURSECALL signal on pin 9 of the RS-232 connector.

13.7 CPU CONNECTIONS
The processor in this system is a 386EX. The 386EX contains a 386SX core and
integrated peripherals. It operates from a 40-MHz oscillator, and includes the
following on-board peripherals:
DMA Controller Unit
Bus Interface Unit
Chip-select Unit
Clock and Power Management Unit
DRAM Refresh Control Unit

The connections are as follows:
Address bus connects to the LCD controller, RTC address/data mux,
DRAM address mux, and the boot and trend flashes. Six address lines
go to the FPGA.
The data bus connects to the data bus buffers, which in turn connect to
the DRAM, RTC, DUART, boot flash, trend flash, LCD controller, and
the FPGA.
The address and data control signals are distributed to the FPGA,
DRAM, RTC, LCD controller, boot and trend flashes, and DUART.
RESET comes from the FPGA.
CLK2 is a 40 MHz signal from the onboard oscillator.

read - two wait states/write - four wait states
13.7.5 Timer Unit
The timer unit has three timers: two are used for output control, and one is used
to initiate DMA transfers to the A/D converter.
TIMEROUT0: Speaker volume adjust pulse
TIMEROUT1: A request for initiating an A/D conversion
TIMEROUT2: 100 kHz output to the FPGA for generating the 100 kHz
and 50 kHz signals for the power supply
13.7.6 Interrupts
There are five interrupts used:

INT1: DUART channel 1 interrupt
INT5: Early warning from the power supply
(Also connected to INT 7)
13-10
13.7.7 Synchronous Serial Port
The synchronous serial port is connected to the A/D converter. The signals used
are as follows:
STXCLK:
SRXCLK:
SSIOTX:
SSIORX:
synchronous transmit clock

synchronous receive clock
synchronous transmit data
synchronous receive data
The STXCLK signal is generated in the FPGA circuit each time Timer 1 initiates
a pulse (1.25 millisecond intervals). There are 16 clock pulses generated by
enabling a 25 kHz signal to the STXCLK line. The A/D is programmed for
16-bit transfers, and when the A/D receives the 16 th clock, it will activate the
EOC signal that turns off the STXCLK signal. The A/D makes a conversion and
passes the data back the next time it receives the STXCLK signal. The
SRXCLK signal is connected to the STXCLK, and each time a new conversion
is initiated, the previous conversions data is transferred to the 386EX via the
SSIORX data line.
13.7.8 Asynchronous Serial Port
There are two asynchronous UART ports on the 386EX, but only one is used. It
is connected to the opto-isolators that connect to the SpO2 unit.
TXD0: asynchronous transmit signal
RXD0: asynchronous receive signal
The remaining port is reserved for future use.
13.7.9 Watch Dog Timer Unit (WDT)
See Figure 13-6. The watchdog timer unit within the 386EX has one output
which goes to the FPGA.
Figure 13-6: Watch Dog Timer Block Diagram
13-11
13.7.10 CPU Timing Signals
The 386EX runs from a 40 MHz crystal oscillator and the main timing is derived
from this clock. It is called CLK2. Inside the CPU, CLK2 is divided by two,
generating two new clocks, PH1 and PH2. Each T state is made up of one PH1
and one PH2 clock. There are a minimum of two T states per cycle. Each wait
state is one T state long (50 nanosecond) Therefore, adding wait states is adding
50 nanoseconds for each additional T2 states.
13.7.11 CPU Signals
Various signals change at various times within a cycle, and the generic timing is
shown below. Some of the key signals are ADS#, M/IO#, D/C#, W/R#, WR#,
RD#, CS0-CS6#, BLE#, and BHE#. Typical control circuits will look at ADS#
at the end of PH2 and make decisions at this time. See Figure 13-7.

13.8 DRAM Control
The DRAM control consists of one 256kx16 DRAM chip, three 74ACT157
address mux chips, address resistors, and the FPGA control circuit.
The CS6* (* = # = a low true signal) signal has been assigned to the DRAM
memory address space: 0-3FFFF words, or 0-7FFFF bytes. The CS6* control
register in the chip select unit (CSU) must be programmed for one wait state.
Since the data bus is 16 bits wide and the DRAM is a x16 part, most transfers
will be of the 16-bit variety. However, eight-bit transfers are allowed and
provisions have been made for byte addressing. This is done by using the upper
and lower cas signals, UCAS and LCAS.
13.8.1 DRAM Signals
For the DRAM design we must generate six signals, RAS#, UCAS#, LCAS#,
DRAMOE#, DRAMWR#, and CASADREN. All of these signals are generated
in the FPGA from the 386EX signals, ADS#, CS6#, M/IO#, D/C#, WR#, and
RD#. Since the CSU is programmed for one wait state, the CSU generates the
READY# signal, which terminates the transfer.

Figure 13-8: DRAM Timing
See Figure 13-8. The DRAM requires 130 nanoseconds total time, read/write
and precharge for each cycle. There is one wait state for each DRAM access and
a total of three T states, which is 150 nanoseconds. Since the DRAM minimum
access time is 130 nanoseconds, we have 20 nanoseconds of margin. The
Hitachi HM51W4260AL has a RAS* time of 70 nanoseconds, a precharge time
of 50 nanoseconds, a CAS* time of 20 nanoseconds, and a WE* time of 15
nanoseconds. The BLE* and BLH* signals are used to select byte-oriented
reads and writes. There are two CAS* lines that are used to implement the byte
writes.
The RAS# and CAS# requirements are shown in Figure 13-9.

13.8.3 DRAM FPGA Circuits
The DRAM control circuits in the FPGA must decode the various 386EX control
signals and generate the DRAM signals. This is done by using CS6# to set a flip
flop when ADS# and PH are true. The flip flop is RAS#. This signal is passed
to two more flip flops and the RAS# output is 75 nanoseconds long. This signal
is generated for all DRAM accesses and refresh. The DRAM output is enabled
when either BLE# or BHE# is true, which means a read is occurring. Since the
DRAM outputs are bi-directional, we need to disable the DRAMOE# signal if a
write is taking place. The WR# signal being false allows DRAMOE# to occur.
If it is true, then the DRAMWR# signal occurs. The BLE# and BHE# signals
are also used to generate the UCAS# and LCAS# signals during a read or write
operation. Since we are using RAS only for refresh, the CAS signals must be
inhibited for refresh.
13.9 Flash Control
The flash memory and control consists of two flash chips, a bootable flash (also
called the executable flash) and a trend flash. The control consists of the random
logic in the FPGA. The bootable flash is a 256Kx16 Intel (part no.
E28F400BVT60) or Micron (part no. MT28F400 SG-8) flash with the boot in
the top section (T), and is preprogrammed on the data I/O or some other unit
with the boot program. The executable program can also be programmed this
way or by downloading it to the 386EX via the RS-232 connection. The trend
flash consists of Atmel AT29LV256 32kx8 devices that store the trend data and
that write 64 bytes at a time. It takes two wait states for reading the flash, either
the executable or the trend, and four wait states to write either of these flashes.
13.9.1 Executable flash
The executable flash is a word-oriented flash, that is, reading and writing is done
on a word basis, and byte reads and writes are not allowed. The trend flash is
byte oriented and all reads and writes are done on a byte basis.
The chip select unit has UCS* assigned to the executable flash and CS2* is
assigned to the trend flash. Typically, the executable flash is assigned the upper
256k words, or 512k bytes in the system. The word address space is 40000 to
13-14
7FFFF, which is 80000 to FFFFF in bytes. This is the upper portion of the
space. The trend flash is assigned to the 32k byte space above the video ram,
that is, 84000 to 8FFFF words, or 11000 to 14000 bytes. The software, however,
has the ability to overlap the trend flash address with the executable flash
address. The design gives priority to the trend flash address over the executable
flash.
The executable flash has a long delay time for writing to it, and this is why there
are four wait states. It also has a long delay from output data on to output data
float. This requires that data buffers be installed between the 386EX and the
flash. Since doing this only for the flash is awkward, the buffers were put in for
all external devices.
See Figure 13-10. The read cycle time for the executable flash is 110
nanoseconds. The write pulse width must be at least 150 nanoseconds. Refer to
the timing diagrams for the flash for minimum timing parameters.

Figure 13-10: Flash Cycle
In the FPGA control logic, the executable flash chip select, is anded with the
trend flash chip select such that CS2* must be high, inactive, when addressing
the executable flash. This allows the address overlap for the trend flash. The
executable flash chip enable, FLSH1CE#, is generated in the FPGA and then
goes to the executable flash. The trend flash is connected directly to CS2#,
because it has priority over the executable if an overlapping addressing scheme
is used.
See Figure 13-11. The write pulse width is generated via a state machine to give
the proper pulse width.

13.9.2 Flash FPGA Control Circuit
The FPGA decodes the boot flash and trend flash select signals and generates the
boot flash (FLSH1CE#) signal whenever the trend flash is not being accessed.
Since the trend flash address space may overlap the boot flash space, the trend
flash has priority.
The flash outputs are enabled for a read cycle. During a write cycle, the data bus
inputs data to the flash.
Since the boot flash is for booting up and executing the software program, most
accesses to the boot flash are reads. Only when a new program is downloaded
will a write to the boot flash occur.
13.9.3 Trend Flash
The purpose of the trend flash is to store the patients data. It has both read and
write accesses occurring at regular intervals. The flash chosen for this purpose
interfaces with the 386EX easily, and writing data consists of transferring
64 bytes at a time. The flash takes care of any erasing and writing operations
internally. Typical worst-case write/erase times for 64 bytes is less than
1 second.
13.10 LCD Display
The LCD display is a black and white (B&W) 640x480 pixel display, used as a
1-bit/pixel B&W display. Gray shading is not used in this display. It is a dual
panel, dual drive unit and the 1351 drives the display directly. It operates from
3.3 volts.
The LCD display is divided into two sections: each section is 640x240 pixels,
which equals a total of 153,600 pixels per section. A 32Kx8 SRAM has
256,000 bits, thus one SRAM is used for each of the display sections. Only one
bit is available to drive each pixel. For shading or color, more memory is
needed.
The SRAM access time is defined by the 1351FLB as one over the frequency
minus 20 nanoseconds.
tacc = 1/fosc - 20 nanoseconds
Our system uses an oscillator frequency (FOSC) = 10 MHz, therefore,
80 nanoseconds access time on the SRAM is needed. Using this SRAM and
10 MHz, the worst-case access time is 4 TOSC + TCLK = 500 nanoseconds.
The LCD display interfaces to the S-MOS LCD controller chip, SF1351FLB.
This controller chip is connected to the 386EX and two 32kx8 SRAMs. The
LCD controller has control registers that must be set up by software before
writing to the memory and display.
13-16
13.10.1 LCD Control
There are two chip selects assigned to the LCD display chip: one for the control
registers inside the chip, and one for the display memory space. The chip itself
has a state machine controller inside, and generates the necessary signals to store
and retrieve data from the memory when requested. It also takes care of driving
the LCD display directly, with the data from the display SRAM.
The circuit uses the 1351 in mode 5 and the 16-bit microprocessor interface
configuration. All transfers are word oriented, and byte reads and writes are not
allowed.
The processor interface consists of the following signals.
IOCS# is the control register chip select and connects directly with CS0#
from the 386EX. To program the 1351 registers, the software selects
this address and transfers the data.
MEMCS# is the display memory select signal. It is connected to CS1#
directly and display data is transferred to the display ram using this
address space.
IORD#, IOWR#, MEMRD#, and MEMWR# are used to read and write
to/from the control registers and the display memory. The two read
signals are connected directly with the RD# signal from the 386EX. The
two write signals are connected directly with the WR# signal from the
386EX.
The MPUCLK is connected to a 10 MHz clock generated in phase with
the PH1 clock in the FPGA. Since PH1 occurs at the beginning of each
386EX T state, the 1351 will be in synch with the 386EX.
RESET is connected directly with the RESET signal from the FPGA,
which goes to the 386EX.
The MPUSEL signal is tied to 3.3 volts via a resistor. This indicates that
the 1351 is to operate in word mode.
The BHE# signal is connected directly to the BHE# signal from the
386EX.
AB0-AB15 is connected to the address bus of the 386EX.
DB0-DB15 is connected to the bi-directional data bus BD0-BD15.
The above signals are all of the signals used to interface to the 386EX for
transferring of data to and from the control registers and the display RAM.
13-17
Both read and write transfers between the 386EX and the 1351FLB are defined
in the 1351FLB manual, pages 1-33 and 1-34. The timing specifications of the
1351FLB for reading and writing data to and from the control registers or
display RAM, allow a direct interface to the 386EX. External control circuits in
the FPGA are not necessary, except for one signal, the READY# signal. This is
explained in a following section.
13.10.2 LCD Display RAM
The interface signals for the display RAM are prefaced with the letter V, which
indicates video RAM. The interface to the display RAM (VRAM) is defined in
the 1351FLB manual and is connected directly to the RAM.
The LCD display interfaces directly with the 1351FLB. Timing diagrams are in
the associated manuals. The signals used are LCDENB, XSCL, LP, WF, YD,
UD0-UD3, and LD0-LD3. The UD and LD signals are data lines to the upper
and lower display panels. The XSCL is the data shift clock and the LCD display
stores the data on the falling edge of this clock. The LP signal is the latch pulse
and is used to latch the data into the X-drivers. The YD signal is the frame
pulse, which indicates a start-of-frame.
13.10.3 LCD FPGA Control Circuits
The LCD display chip interfaces directly with the 386EX. The only circuit that
is necessary to generate in the FPGA is the READY# circuit. The 1351
generates a wait signal when transfers are initiated . This wait signal is gated
with the LCD select signals and implements an external READY signal when the
1351 has completed the transfer.
13.11 Real-time Clock (RTC)
The RTC is a Dallas DS1693, which has the crystal and battery imbedded in the
unit. It is a 28-pin DIP package and runs from a 3.3 volts supply.
CS3# is assigned to the RTC in the I/O space and the software must assign
14 wait states to this unit.
The timing for the DS1693 is shown in Figure 13-12.
Figure 13-12: DS1693 Timing
See Figure 13-13. The timing for this interface is done in the FPGA. There is a
state machine that is clocked at 20 MHz and generates 18 states.
13-18
Figure 13-13: Interface Timing

13.12 DUART Control
See Figure 13-14. The DUART is a Startech ST16C2550CJ44 which consists of

2 UARTs and fifos for the read and write portions of each UART. Channel 0 is
assigned to the RS-232 port, which exits the unit near the AC and DC inputs.
Channel 1 is assigned to the recorder. The fifos are 16 bytes deep, and transfer
to/from the DUART would save time if done on 8- or 16-byte boundaries.
Interfacing to the DUART is done by assigning CS4# to the DUART I/O space,
with four addresses assigned to each UART. The DUART channel 0 is the base
address assigned to CS4# and the channel 1 address is the base address + 8 (A3).
There are four addresses assigned to each UART, 0,1,2,and 3.
Software must program two wait states for CS4# and define them as a byte
device.
A state machine in the FPGA is used to generate the proper signals for
programming the unit.
Figure 13-14: DUART Control

13.13 KNOB INTERFACE CONTROL
The knob consists of a rotary knob with a push switch. The knob is rotated and
the cursor on the LCD display moves forward or backward, depending on which
way the knob is rotated. When the knob is pushed, it must be detected and
indicated to the 386EX.
13-19
The knob has two channels: channel A and channel B. When clockwise rotation
occurs, channel A leads channel B and when counterclockwise rotation occurs,
channel B leads channel A. The software monitors the knob flip flop, and when
it is set true, the knob has turned. The direction is read by the other bits in the
status register, and the software determines the knob direction. The KNOBINT
flip flop is reset by the software when a write to CS5# + A occurs. The knob
direction is determined by the software by reading CS5# + A, bits 4 and 5.
The circuit that drives the knob is a 3.3 volts circuit, with appropriate resistor
values to allow the same current at 3.3 volts through the optocouplers as would
have occurred at 5 volts.
13.14 SWITCH CONTROL
There are five switches and one knob push-button switch. All of these switches
go to the FPGA control circuit except for the On/Standby switch, which goes
directly to the power supply control circuit. Each of the switch circuits has a
debounce resistor and capacitor associated with it and then goes to the FPGA.
The signals ALRMSIL, NIBPPB, AUDTONVOL, LCDCONTRST, and
KNOBPB go to the FPGA where they are ORd together and exit as PBINT.
This is read by the software in the status register. The software debounces and
detects the length of time the switch is depressed. The software determines
which switch was depressed by reading CS5# + A, bits 4 through 7.
13.15 MISCELLANEOUS CONTROL - CS5#
The NIBP PUMP PWM, NIBP VALVE PWM, SPEAKER FREQUENCY

DUTY CYCLE, and a miscellaneous control register are all assigned to the I/O
space programmed to CS5#. The addressing scheme is as follows:

13.15.1 CS5# NIBP Pump PWM 8 Bits
The NIBP pump pulse width modulated (PUMP_PWM) signal is generated in

the FPGA via an eight-bit register which is clocked at 313 kHz. An eight-bit
value is loaded into this register, and then the PUMP_PWM_GO bit (bit 0) in the
CONTROL REG. is set true, and the pump PWM signal begins. The eight-bit
register starts counting down, and the signal output is low until the counter
underflows, at which time it is reloaded with the programmed value. It now
counts up, and the signal output goes high until the counter overflows. It is then
reloaded and counts down. The PUMP_PWM signal is generated this way until
it is shut off by resetting the PUMP_PWM_GO bit in the control reg.
13-20
The NIBP valve pulse width modulated (NIBPCNTLVLV) signal is generated in

the FPGA via this same eight-bit register, which is clocked at 313 kHz. An
eight-bit value is loaded into this register, and then the VALVE_PWM_GO bit
(bit 1) in the control reg. is set true, and the valve PWM signal begins. The
eight-bit register starts counting down, and the signal output is low until the
counter underflows, at which time it is reloaded with the programmed value . It
now counts up, and the signal output goes high until the counter overflows . It is
then reloaded and counts down. The NIBPCNTLVLV signal is generated this
way until it is shut off by resetting the VALVE_PWM_GO bit in the control reg.
13.15.2 CS5# + 4 Speaker High, CS5# + 6 Speaker Low Value
The speaker tone frequency is generated using two eight-bit registers, one which
is the value for the high portion of the frequency and one value for the low
portion for the frequency. The frequency range is 200 Hz to 1000 Hz. The
16-bit counter has a selectable count frequency of 78 kHz or 313 kHz. This
selection is programmed in the control reg. using the CLK_FREQ_SEL (bit 2).
Signal A 0 selects 313 kHz and a 1 selects 78 kHz. Once the values are loaded,
and the frequency clock is selected, the FREQ_GO bit (bit three) is set to begin
the tone frequency. Software has complete control over the duty cycle of this
tone by programming the high and low values and being able to select the clock
frequency for the counter. The TONE_OUT signal is low until the low counter
overflows and sets the TONE_OUT flip flop high. Now the high counter is
enabled, and the TONE_OUT signal stays high until the high counter overflows,
at which time it goes low and the low counter begins counting . This cycle
continues until the FREQ_GO bit is reset to zero.
13.15.3 CS5# + 8 Control Register
This register has eight programmable bits as follows:

BIT 0
BIT 1
BIT 2
BIT 3
BIT 4
BIT 5
BIT 6
BIT 7
PUMP_PWM_GO
VALVE_PWM_GO
CLK_FREQ_SEL
FREQ_GO
BCK_LITE_ON
FRONT END CLOCK ENABLE
PORGQM FLASH ENABLE
ADCS RESET
Bits 0 through 3 were defined in the above paragraphs and need no further
explanation here. Bit 4, BCK_LITE_ON is a bit that turns on the LCD backlight
when set to a 1. When powered on, this bit is 0 and the backlight is off. To turn
on the backlight this bit must be set to a 1.
Bit 5 enables the clock going to the Front End transformer, that generates the
isolated Front End voltages. If the Front End should ever go into a baseline
condition, it is reset by stopping the clock to the transformer, and the Front End
voltage will go to zero. Turning this bit back on powers the Front End up and,
essentially, acts as a reset.
Bit 6 enables programming of the boot flash. This would be used if a new
executable program were downloaded via the RS-232 channel and stored in the
executable flash.
13-21
Bit 7 resets the A/D converter and is generated when software starts a conversion
sequence.
13.15.4 CS5# + A RESET KNOB INT/READ PUSH SWITCHS
The I/O address of CS5# + 6 has two functions associated with it. Writing to
this register generates a KNOB_INT_RST signal which resets the knob interrupt
flip flops. This would be done by software after a knob interrupt occurs.
The software polls this register every 50 millisecond and looks to see if the
PB INT bit (bit 6) or the KNOB INT bit (bit 7) is set true, indicating that a
switch has been pressed or that the knob is being rotated. If either of these bits is
set true, then the software just looks at bits 3, 4, and 5 to determine which of the
knob functions has occurred. If the PB INTB is set true, then register C must be

14. MAIN COLOR BOARD DIGITAL THEORY OF OPERATION

14.1 GENERAL
The LNA color digital design is based around an Intel 386EX microcontroller,
which has a 386SX microprocessor core and peripheral blocks around it. The
internal peripherals are all controlled by on board programmable registers. In
order to save power this design has a Vcc = 3.3 volts.
The data from the front end (ECG, temperature, respiration, etc.) is multiplexed
through a linear opto isolator to a 12 bit A/D converter, which is connected to
the on board synchronous serial port. The synchronous serial port is controlled
by the on board DMA unit.
The LCD display is a 640x480 TFT color display which is connected to an
S-MOS 1354F0A controller chip. This chip interfaces via the data bus to the
386EX and has one 1MX16 DRAM for data storage. The backlight is controlled
by enabling the +12 volts DC to the inverter board. There is no contrast
adjustment for this display.
The main executable memory is a 512Kx16 flash memory which takes the upper
1Megabyte of address space. This flash contains the boot program and the
executable program for controlling the whole unit.
A 2 Megabyte DRAM is located in lower memory starting at location 0 and is
used for data storage and manipulation. The DRAM also has the ability to
execute code when programming the flash with a new program from the external
RS-232 port.
14-1
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
A RTC (real time clock) chip keeps the date and time of day. This unit has 64
bytes of battery backed up ram, 14 bytes are used for the RTC, and 50 bytes are
available for the software to use.
The recorder (thermal printer) and the external RS-232 port are controlled from
software via a DUART (dual serial port chip). These ports are the same as the
COM ports used on a PC and the DUART is programmable via software.
The SpO2 unit (MP205) is connected to one of the 386EXs asynchronous serial
ports via opto-isolators.
The push buttons and rotating knob interface to the 386EX via the FPGA circuit.
They are polled by the software at a 200 Hz rate.
The speaker is connected to an amplifier circuit which is connected to a digital
potentiometer. The programmable frequency is generated in the FPGA and
connects to this programmable digital potentiometer. The software controls the
volume by programming this digital pot.
The DEFIB SYNC pulse is bit programmed via software and goes to the outside
world via a digital driver. The DEFIB SYNC pulses purpose is to indicate on
the leading edge that now is the time to fire the defibrillator.
The NIBP circuit is controlled by various port bits and control circuits in the
ASIC. It automatically inflates a pressure cuff attached to the patient and then
deflates the cuff and takes the measurement.
The main board uses the following voltages and nominal currents; 3.3 volts DC
at 300 mA, 5 volts DC at 260 mA, 12 volts DC at 315 mA with 165 mA for the
backlight, and -24 volts DC at 1.2 mA.

14.2 POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
Figure 14-1: Power Supply Connections
The power supply provides the power for the main board and all of the circuitry
in the system. It also contains control circuits for turning on and off the power,
as well as supplying the battery backup for the system.
14.2.1 Voltages
The microprocessor and its associated circuits are powered from the regulated
3.3 volts DC generated on the power supply board. The 3.3 volts DC powers the
microcontroller, DRAM, flash, LCD controller and a portion of the LCD
contrast circuit, memory, the DUART, and real time clock. The 5 volts DC
powers the Nellcor knob, the TFT color display, and a portion of the speaker
circuit. The A/D converter is powered by its own 5 volt regulator. The 12 volts
DC powers the speaker circuit, the backlite inverter input voltage, and the op
amp for the battery voltage going to the A/D converter. The -24 volts is not
used. Typical current draws are as follows:
3.3 volts DC @ 300 mA
-24 volts DC @ 1.2 mA
14-3
14.2.2 Microcontroller Signals
The power supply circuit and microcontroller have 2 signals which connect
directly with each other, EARLY WARNING and PSOFF. The battery circuits
generate an EARLY WARNING signal to the microcontroller to warn it that the
power is going down within 100 ms. This EARLY WARNING signal is
generated if the power On/Standby switch is pressed or the battery voltage gets
too low. The signal is connected directly to INTERRUPTS 5 and 7. The
software will save any information it must save and finish its housekeeping
before sending the PSOFF signal back to the battery circuits.
14.2.3 MEMBRANE SWITCHES/POWER SUPPLY
The power supply circuit connects directly with the On/Standby switch and the 2
LEDs on the membrane switch. The On/Standby switch goes directly from the
membrane switch to the power supply board via the 50 pin cable. This is to
allow powering up when off. Another switch also goes to the battery circuit, the
Alarm Silence switch. Unlike the On/Standby switch, this switch also goes to
the microcontroller.
14.2.4 POWER SUPPLY GENERATED LED SIGNALS
The power supply circuits generate two LED driving signals, one that indicates
that the AC mains is connected, and one which indicates that the DC power is
connected. When the AC MAINS LED is being driven on, a high voltage level
goes to the 386EX port 1 bit 6 as the AC mains input status bit. When the LED
is off the signal is a logic low. The software will interpret the signal levels so as
to tell whether the AC mains is connected or not. The same is true with the DC
power input connector. The signal driving the DC led goes to port 1, bit 7. This
indicates the DC power status.
14.2.5 BATTERY SIGNALS TO THE A/D CONVERTER
The battery voltage signal is sent to the main board where it is buffered by an
amplifier circuit which converts it to a signal in the 0-5 volt range of the A/D
converter. The BATTSNS+ signal is sent directly to the main board and is
divided by 2 by a resistor divider circuit on the positive input to the amplifier.
The amplifier has a gain of 2, which brings the signal back to its original signal
level and then we resistor divide it to the 0-5 volt range for the A/D converter.
14.2.6 SYNC/ALARM 50KHZ SIGNAL
The power supply needs a 100 kHz signal to synchronize its own internal
operation and to keep the alarm from sounding. The 100 kHz signal is anded
with the watch dog timer (WDT) and if the WDT should time out the power
supply circuit will sound the alarm and shut down the main board.
14-4
14.3 CPU CONNECTIONS
The CPU (U7) is a 386EX microcontroller, which contains a 386SX core and
various integrated peripherals. The 386EX operates from a 40 MHz oscillator
(X3) and has the following on board peripherals:
DMA Controller Unit

Bus Interface Unit
Chip-select Unit
Clock and Power Management Unit
Dram Refresh Control Unit
Watch Dog Timer Unit
Asynchronous Serial I/O Units
Synchronous Serial I/O Unit
Timer Unit with 3 16 Bit Counter/Timers
Interrupt Control Unit
Bit Digital I/O Ports
The 386EXs address bus connects to the LCD controller (U500), RTC
address/data mux (U3), DRAM address mux (U2, U6, U8), and the boot (U504)
and trend flash (U14). Six address lines go to the FPGA (U505). The 386EXs
data bus connects to the data bus buffers, which in turn connect to the DRAM
(U501), RTC (U4), DUART (U24), boot flash, trend flash, LCD controller, and
the FPGA. The 386EXs control signals are distributed to the FPGA, DRAM,
RTC, LCD controller, boot and trend flash, and DUART. Reset to the 386EX is
generated in the FPGA.
CLK_40MHZ is a 40 MHz signal from the on board oscillator.

DMA transfers to the A/D converter.
TIMEROUT0:
TIMEROUT1:
TIMEROUT2:
Speaker volume adjust pulse

DMA request for initiating an A/D conversion
100 kHz output to the FPGA for generating the 100khz
and 50 kHz signals for the power supply
14.3.6 INTERRUPTS
There are 2 interrupts used:

INT5: Early warning from the power supply
14.3.7 SYNCHRONOUS SERIAL UNIT
The synchronous serial port is connected to the A/D converter. The signals used
are as follows:
STXCLK:
SRXCLK:
SSIOTX:
SSIORX:
synchronous transmit clock

synchronous receive clock
synchronous transmit data
synchronous receive data
The STXCLK signal is generated in the FPGA circuit each time timer1 initiates
a pulse (every 1.25 ms). Sixteen clock pulses are generated by enabling a 25
kHz signal onto the STXCLK line. The A/D is programmed for 16 bit transfers
and when the A/D receives the 16 th clock, it will activate the EOC signal which
turns off the STXCLK signal. The STXCLK signal can also be turned off by
setting the ADCS_RESET bit in the Control Register of the FPGA The A/D
makes a conversion and passes the data back the next time it receives the
STXCLK signal. The SRXCLK signal is connected to the STXCLK and each
14-6
time a new conversion is initiated the previous conversions data is transferred to

the 386EX via the SSIORX data line.
14.3.8 ASYNCHRONOUS SERIAL PORT
There are 2 asynchronous UART ports on the 386EX, but only one is used. It is
connected to the opto-isolators that connect to the SPO2 unit.
TXD0: asynchronous transmit signal
RXD0: asynchronous receive signal
14.3.9 WATCH DOG TIMER UNIT (WDT)
The watchdog timer unit within the 386EX has one output which goes to the
FPGA.
14.4 LNA 386EX CONNECTIONS
Figure 14-2: LNA 386EX CONNECTIONS

14.5 CPU TIMING SIGNALS
The 386EX runs from a 40mhz crystal oscillator and the main timing is derived
from this clock. It is called CLK_40MHZ. Inside the CPU CLK_40MHZ is
divided by 2, generating two new clocks, PH1 and PH2. Each T state is made up
of one PH1 and one PH2 clock. There are a minimum of 2 T states per cycle.
Each wait state is one T state long (50 ns). Therefore, adding wait states is like
adds 50 ns on for each wait state.
14-7
14.5.1 CPU SIGNALS
Various signals change at various times within a cycle, and the generic timing is
shown below. Some of the key signals are ADS#, M/IO#, D/C#, W/R#, WR#,
RD#, CS0-CS6#, BLE#, and BHE#. Typical control circuits will look at ADS#
at the end of PH2 and make decisions at this time. Refer to the 386EX timing
diagrams for a more detailed explanation.
Figure 14-3: CPU Timing Diagram

14.6 DRAM CONTROL
The DRAM control consists of one 1Mx16 EDO DRAM chip, three 74ACT157
address mux chips, address resistors, and the FPGA control circuit.
CS6* (* = # = / a low true signal) has been assigned to the DRAM memory
address space, 0-100000 words, or 0-200000 bytes. The CS6* control register in
the chip select unit (CSU) must be programmed for 1 WAIT STATE. Since the
data bus is 16 bits wide and the DRAM is a x16 part, most transfers will be of
the 16 bit variety. However, 8 bit transfers are allowed and we have made
provisions for byte addressing. This is done by using the upper and lower CAS
signals, UCAS and LCAS.
14.6.1 DRAM SIGNALS
For the DRAM design we must generate 6 signals, RAS#, UCAS#, LCAS#,
DRAMOE#, DRAMWR#, and CASADREN. All of these signals are generated
in the FPGA from the 386EX signals, ADS#, CS6#, M/IO#, D/C#, WR#, and
RD#. Since the CSU is programmed for 1 wait state, the CSU generates the
READY# signal which terminates the transfer.
14-8
14.6.1.1 DRAM TIMING
Figure 14-4: DRAM Timing
The DRAM requires 104 ns total time, read/write and precharge for each cycle.
There is 1 wait state for each DRAM access and a total of 3 T states which is
150 ns. Since the DRAM minimum access time is 104 ns, we have 46 ns of
margin. We are using the Hitachi HM51W18165LTT or equivalent which has a
RAS* time of 60 ns, a precharge time of 40 ns, a CAS* time of 10 ns, and a
WE* time of 10 ns. The BLE* and BLH* signals are used to select byte oriented
reads and writes. There are 2 CAS* lines, which are used to implement the byte
writes.
The RAS# and CAS# requirements are shown below.
Figure 14-5: RAS# and CAS# Timing
14-9
14.6.2 DRAM FPGA CIRCUITS
The DRAM control circuits in the FPGA must decode the various 386EX control
signals and generate the DRAM signals. This is done by using CS6# to set a flip
flop when ADS# and PH2 are true. When this is true, a flip flop is set, which is
output as RAS#. The output of this flip flop is RAS# which is 75 ns long. This
signal is generated for all DRAM accesses and refresh. The DRAM output is
enabled when either BLE# or BHE# is true, which means a read is occurring.
Since the DRAM outputs are bi-directional, we need to disable the DRAMOE#
signal if a write is taking place. The WR# signal being false allows DRAMOE#
to occur, and if it is true, then the DRAMWR# signal occurs. The BLE# and
BHE# signals are also used to generate the UCAS# and LCAS# signals during a
read or write operation. Since we are using RAS only for refresh, the CAS
signals must be inhibited for refresh.
14.7 FLASH CONTROL
The flash memory and control consists of 2 flash chips, a bootable flash, also
called the executable flash, and a trend flash. The control consists of the random
logic in the FPGA. The bootable flash is a 512Kx16 Intel) flash with the boot in
the top section (T), and is preprogrammed on the data I/O or some other unit
with the boot program. The executable program can also be programmed this
way or by downloading it to the 386EX via the RS-232 connection. The trend
flash consists of Atmel AT29LV256 32kx8 devices which stores the trend data
and which writes 64 bytes at a time. It takes 1 wait state for reading the
executable, 2 wait states for reading the trend, and 4 wait states to write either of
these flashes.
14.7.1 EXECUTABLE FLASH
The executable flash is a word oriented flash, i.e., reading and writing is done on
a word basis, and byte reads and writes are not allowed. The trend flash is byte
oriented and all reads and writes are done on a byte basis.
The chip select unit has UCS* assigned to the executable flash and CS2* is
assigned to the trend flash. Typically, the executable flash is assigned the upper
512 k words, or 1 Megabyte in the system. The word address space is 000007FFFF, which is 00000-FFFFF in bytes. This is the upper portion of the space.
The trend flash is assigned to the 32 k byte space above the video ram, that is,
84000-8FFFF words, or 11000-14000 bytes. The software, however, has the
ability to overlap the trend flash address with the executable flash address. The
design gives priority to the trend flash address over the executable flash.
The read cycle time for the executable flash is 90 ns. The write cycle time must
be at least 100 ns. Refer to the timing diagrams for the flash for minimum
timing parameters.
The executable flash has a delay time of 4 wait states for writing to it.
14-10
Figure 14-6: Flash Read Timing
In the FPGA control logic, the executable flash chip select is anded with the
trend flash chip select such that CS2* must be high, inactive, when addressing
the executable flash. This allows the address overlap for the trend flash. The
executable flash chip enable FLSH1CE# is generated in the FPGA and then goes
to the executable flash. The trend flash is connected directly to CS2# because it
has priority over the executable if an overlapping addressing scheme is used. The
write pulse width is generated via a state machine to give the proper pulse width
Figure 14-7: Flash Write Timing

14.7.2 FLASH FPGA CONTROL CIRCUIT
The FPGA decodes the boot flash and trend flash select signals and generates the
boot flash (FLSH1CE#) signal whenever the trend flash is not being accessed.
Since the trend flash address space may overlap the boot flash space, the trend
flash has priority.
The flash outputs are enabled for a read cycle. During a write cycle, the data bus
inputs data to the flash.
14-11
Since the boot flash is for booting up and executing the software program, most
accesses to the boot flash are reads. Only when a new program is downloaded
will a write to the boot flash occur.
14.7.3 TREND FLASH
The trend flash is different. Its purpose is to store the patients data. It has both
read and write accesses occurring at regular intervals. The flash chosen for this
purpose interfaces with the 386EX easily, and writing data consists of
transferring 64 bytes at a time. The flash takes care of any erasing and writing
operations internally. Typical worst case write/erase times for 64 bytes is less
than 1 second.
14.8 LCD DISPLAY
The LCD panel is a color 640x3(RGB)x480 pixel TFT (Thin Film Transistor)
display. The 1354 drives the display through some translation buffers
(74HCT244: U506, U507, U508) because the 1354 operates from the 3.3 volts
DC and the LCD display operates from 5 volts DC.
The LCD display is a single panel display constructed of 640x3x480 dots, which
equals a total of 921,600 pixels. We wanted 4 bits per pixel, therefor we needed
3,686,400 bits of memory to support the display. A 1MX16 EDO DRAM was
chosen because it allowed us to expand to 8 or 16 bits per pixel and it was very
inexpensive. The SED1354 supports either a 50 ns or 60 ns access time DRAM.
The 60 ns access time is used.
The LCD display interfaces to the S-MOS LCD controller chip, SED1354F0A
through some 74HCT244 buffers. This controller chip is connected to the
386EX and one 1MX16 EDO DRAM. The LCD controller has control registers
which must be setup by software before writing to the memory and display. It
also has configuration inputs that will determine the mode of operation at
powerup or reset. The SED1354 is configured in the following. These values
could be changed by adding or removing 10k ohm pull-up resistors on the main
board. (The 1354 has 100k ohm pull-down resistors built inside the chip.)

14.8.1 LCD CONTROL
There are 2 chip selects assigned to the LCD display chip, one for the control
registers inside the chip, and one for the display memory space. The chip itself
has a state machine controller inside, and generates the necessary signals to store
and retrieve data from the memory when requested. It also takes care of driving
the LCD display directly, with the data from the display DRAM.
14-12
The processor interface consists of the following signals.

CS# is the chip select for the SED1354. It connects directly from the FPGA pin
53 to the SED1345. This signal will go low whenever there is an access by the
386EX to CS0# or CS1#. CS0# relates to the internal registers and CS1# relates
the display DRAM.
M/R# is the signal that distinguishes between a memory or register access.
When M/R# is low, the 386EX is accessing a register. When M/R# is high, the
386EX is accessing the display memory. This pin is connected directly to the
M/IO signal of the 386EX.
RD#, RD/WR#, WE0#, and WE1# are used to read and write to/from the control
registers and the display memory. The 2 read signals (RD# and RD/WR#) are
connected directly from the FPGA. The 2 write signals (WE0#, and WE1# ) are
connected directly from the FPGA. When RD# is low, it indicates that Data Bits
[7:0] are being read from the 1354. When RD/WR# is low, it indicates that Data
Bits [15:8] are being read from the 1354. When both RD# and RD/WR# are
low, it indicates that Data Bits [15:0] are being read from the 1354. When
WE0# is low, it indicates that Data Bits [7:0] are being written to the 1354.
When WE1# is low, it indicates that Data Bits [15:8] are being written to the
1354. When both WE0# and WE1# are low, it indicates that Data Bits [15:0] are
being written to the 1354. RD# is generated by anding BLE# and RD# of the
386EX, and it comes out of the FPGA pin 59. RD/WR# is generated by
anding BHE# and RD# of the 386EX, and it comes of the FPGA pin 60.
WE0# is generated by anding BLE# and WR# of the 386EX, it then gets
synchronized with a flip flop. WE0# is on pin 56 of the FPGA. WE1# is
generated by anding BHE# and WR# of the 386EX, it then gets synchronized
with a flip flop. WE1# is on pin 58 of the FPGA.
The CLKI signal is connected to the 40 MHz clock generated by the crystal
oscillator X3. This signal provides the pixel clock and the memory clock The
40 MHz frequency allows the software to vary the LCD refresh rate from 80 Hz
to 120 Hz
The BUSCLK signal is connected to the 40 MHz clock generated by the crystal
oscillator X3. It is the CPU bus clock.
RESET# is connected directly with the RESET# signal from U12 pin 3.
The BS# signal is tied to 3.3 volts DC via a resistor. This pin is suppose to be
pulled up in order to operate in Generic CPU mode.
AB0 of the 1354 is connected to BLE# of the 386EX. AB1-AB20 is connected
to the address bus of the 386EX.
DB0-DB15 is connected to the bi-directional data bus BD0-BD15.
WAIT# is connected to the FPGA pin 141. When this signal is low, it indicates
to the CPU to wait. When this signal goes high data is valid. This signal will be
used by the 386EX. The 386EX will insert 2 wait states automatically and end
the cycle only when WAIT# returns high.
14-13
The above signals are all of the signals used to interface to the 386EX for
transferring of data to and from the control registers and the display ram.
There are some general purpose I/O ports that are under software control. They
can be programmed as inputs or outputs. Two of these ports are being used
(GPIO4 and GPIO5) as outputs and the rest are not being used. If GPIO4 is set,
information is displayed left to right. If GPIO4 is cleared, information is
displayed right to left. If GPIO5 is set, information is displayed top to bottom.
If GPIO5 is cleared, information is displayed bottom to top. The software will
program GPIO4 & 5 to be set. The unused ports are pulled-down with 1k ohm
resistors on the main board. There is one general purpose output port (pin 106).
It is not being used.
14.8.2 LCD DISPLAY RAM
The interface signals for the display RAM are prefaced with the letters VID,
which implies video ram. The interface to the display ram (VIDRAM) is defined
in the SED1354 Hardware Functional Specification manual and is connected
directly to the DRAM.
The LCD display interfaces directly with the SED1354 through the 74HCT244
buffers. The signals used are DRDY, FPFRAME, FPLINE, FPSHIFT, and
FPDATA[15:0].
The FPLINE signal is the line pulse, which indicates the start of a line. It is an
active low signal. The FPFRAME signal is the frame pulse, which indicates a
start-of-frame. It is an active low signal. FPSHIFT is the data shift clock and the
LCD display stores the data on the falling edge of this clock. DRDY is the
display enable output signal. It indicates when data is ready for each line of
video. It is an active high signal. It goes high when data for the line is valid and
stays high until the line is finished. FPDATA[15:0] generate the RED, BLUE,
GREEN video information and are defined as follows;
FPDATA[15] is Blue bit 1
FPDATA[13] is Green bit 0
FPDATA[10] is Red bit 1
The 1354 can only support 64,000 colors, therefore Red bit 0 and Blue bit 0 are
not supported and are tied to ground through 1k ohm pull-down resistors (R515
and R516).
14-14
14.8.3 LCD AND 386EX INTERFACE
The LCD display chip interfaces directly with the 386EX. When the 386EX
initiates a transfer to the 1354F0A, the 386EX generates two wait states and
terminates the cycle when the WAIT# signal of the 1354 returns high. This is
true for transfers to the 1354F0As Video Memory or control registers.
14.8.4 LCD CONTRAST CIRCUIT
There is no contrast adjustment for this TFT display. The contrast circuitry is
not being used.
Pressing the Contrast switch on the front of the NPB-4000C causes the
background color to change from a black background to a white background.
14.8.5 BACKLIGHT CIRCUIT
The backlight of the LCD display is a CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent light) and
is turned on and off by a digital control bit in the FPGA Control Register. When
power is applied it is reset to 0. The backlight requires an AC high voltage
which is generated by an inverter, which takes 12 volts DC and generates the AC
voltage. When software wants the backlight on it sets this bit and it turns on
FET Q1, which completes the circuit to ground and allows the inverter to
generate the AC voltage. Resetting this bit breaks the ground connection and
inhibits the AC signal to the backlight.
14.9 REAL TIME CLOCK (RTC)
The RTC is a Dallas DS1693 which has the crystal and battery imbedded in the
unit. It is a 28 pin DIP package and runs from a 3.3 volt DC supply.
CS3# is assigned to the RTC in the I/O space and the software must assign 14
wait states to this unit.
The timing for the DS1693 is shown below.
Figure 14-8: DS1693 Timing
The timing for this interface is done in the FPGA. There is a state machine
which is clocked at 20 MHz and generates 18 states.
14-15
Figure 14-9: Interface Timing
The timing diagram above shows the signals and their relationship to each other.
14.10 DUART CONTROL
The DUART is a Startech ST16C2550CJ44 which consists of 2 UARTs and

FIFOS for the read and write portions of each UART. Channel 0 is assigned to
the RS-232 port which exits the unit near the AC and DC inputs. Channel 1 is
assigned to the recorder. The FIFOS are 16 bytes deep and transfers to/from the
DUART would save time if done on 8 or 16 byte boundaries.
Interfacing to the DUART is done by assigning CS4# to the DUART I/O space,
with 4 addresses assigned to each UART. The DUART channel 0 is the base
address assigned to CS4# and the channel 1 address is the base address + 8 (A3).
There are 4 addresses assigned to each UART, 0,1,2,and 3.
Software must program 2 wait states for CS4# and define it as a byte device.
A state machine in the FPGA is used to generate the proper signals for
programming the unit.
Figure 14-10: DUART Read/Write Timing
14-16
14.11 KNOB INTERFACE CONTROL
The knob consists of a rotary knob with a push button switch. The knob is
rotated and the cursor on the LCD display moves forward or backward,
depending on which way the knob is rotated. When the knob is pushed it must
be detected and indicated to the 386EX.
The knob has 2 channels, channel A and channel B. When clockwise rotation
occurs, channel A leads channel B and when counter clockwise rotation occurs,
channel B leads channel A. The software monitors the knob flip flop and when it
is set true the knob has turned. The direction is read by 2 other bits in the status
register and the software determines the knob direction. The KNOBINT flip
flop in the FPGA is reset by the software when a write to CS5# + A occurs. The
knob direction is determined by reading CS5# + A, bits 4 and 5.
The circuit which drives the knob is a 3.3 volt DC circuit, with appropriate
resistor values to allow the same current at 3.3 volts through the opto couplers as
would have occurred at 5 volts.
14.12 PUSH BUTTON CONTROL
There are 5 push button switches and one knob push button switch. All of these
push buttons go to the FPGA control circuit except for the ON/OFF push button,
which goes directly to the power supply control circuit. Each of the push button
circuits have a debounce resistor and capacitor associated with them and then go
to the FPGA. The signals ALRMSIL, NIBPPB, AUDTONVOL,
LCDCONTRST, and KNOBPB go to the FPGA where they are ored together
and exit as PBINT. This is read by the software in the status register. The
software debounces and detects the length of time the push button is pressed.
The software determines which push button was pushed by reading CS5# + c,
bits 4-7.
14.13 MISCELLANEOUS CONTROL - CS5#
The NIBP PUMP PWM, NIBP VALVE PWM, SPEAKER FREQUENCY

DUTY CYCLE, and a miscellaneous control register are all assigned to the I/O

14.13.1 CS5# NIBP PUMP PWM 8 BITS
The NIBP pump pulse width modulated (PUMP_PWM) signal is generated in

the FPGA via an 8 bit register which is clocked at 313 kHz. An 8 bit value is
loaded into this register and then the PUMP_PWM_GO bit (bit 0) in the
CONTROL REG. is set true and the pump PWM signal begins. The 8 bit
register starts counting down and the signal output is low until the counter
reloaded and counts down, etc. The PUMP_PWM signal is generated this way
until it is shut off by resetting the PUMP_PWM_GO bit in the CONTROL REG.
The NIBP valve pulse width modulated (NIBPCNTLVLV) signal is generated in
the FPGA via this same 8 bit register which is clocked at 313 kHz. An 8 bit
value is loaded into this register and then the VALVE_PWM_GO bit (bit 1) in
the CONTROL REG. is set true and the valve PWM signal begins. The 8 bit
register starts counting down and the signal output is low until the counter
reloaded and counts down, etc. The NIBPCNTLVLV signal is generated this
way until it is shut off by resetting the VALVE_PWM_GO bit in the CONTROL
REG.
The same register is used for both PWMs because they are mutually exclusive
and software uses only one at a time.
14.13.2 CS5# + 4 SPEAKER HIGH, CS5# + 6 SPEAKER LOW VALUE
The speaker tone frequency is generated using two 8 bit registers, one which is
the value for the high portion of the frequency and one value for the low value
for the frequency. The frequency range is 200 Hz to 1000 Hz. The 16 bit
counter has a count frequency selectable of 78 kHz or 313 kHz. This selection is
programmed in the CONTROL REG. using the CLK_FREQ_SEL (bit 2). A 0
selects 156 kHz and a 1 selects 78 kHz. Once the values are loaded and the
frequency clock is selected the FREQ_GO bit (bit 3) is set to begin the tone
frequency. Software has complete control over the duty cycle of this tone by
programming the high and low values and being able to select the clock
frequency for the counter. The TONE_OUT signal is low until the low counter
overflows and sets the TONE_OUT flip flop high. Now the high counter is
enabled and the TONE_OUT signal stays high until the high counter overflows,
at which time it goes low and the low counter begins counting. This cycle
continues until the FREQ_GO bit is reset to 0.
14.13.3 CS5# + 8 CONTROL REGISTER

Bits 0-3 were defined in the above paragraphs. Bit 4, BCK_LITE_ON is a bit
that turns on the LCD backlight when set to a 1. When powered on this bit is 0
and the backlight is off. To turn on the backlight this bit must be set to a 1.
Bit 5 enables the clock going to the front end transformer, which generates the
isolated front end voltages. If the front end should ever go into a base line
condition, it is reset by stopping the clock to the transformer and the front end
voltages will go to 0. Turning this bit back on powers the front end up and
essentially acts as a reset.
Bit 6 enables programming of the boot flash. This would be used if a new
executable program were downloaded via the RS-232 channel and stored in the
executable flash.
Bit 7 set causes the A/D converter chip select to be set and clears STYXCLK
signal. Bit 7 cleared causes the A/D converter chip select to be cleared and starts
a conversion sequence.
14.13.4 CS5# + A RESET KNOB INT/READ PUSH BUTTONS
The I/O address of CS5# + 6 has 2 functions associated with it. Writing to this
register generates a KNOB_INT_RST signal which resets the knob interrupt flip
flops. This would be done by software after a knob interrupt occurs.
The software polls this register every 50 ms and looks to see if the PB_INT bit
(bit 6) or the KNOB_INT bit (bit 7) is set true, indicating that a button has been
pressed or the knob is being rotated. If either of these bits is true the software
must look at bits 3, 4, and 5 to determine which of the knob functions occurred.
If the PB_INT is set true, then register C must be read to determine which button
was pushed.
Register CS5# + A has the following bit assignments.

14.13.5 CS5# + C WRITE ENABLES WDT/READ PUSH BUTTONS
After powering up the software must enable the watch dog timer function by
writing to this register. The act of writing to CS5#+C automatically sets the
WDT flip flop to a one and enables the WDT time out function.
Reading this register gives the push button status, as well as the state of the
WDT flip flop.

Writing to this register sets or resets the NURSECALL and PRINTER RESET
bits. To set NURSECALL write a 1 to bit 7 and to reset NSCALL write a 0 to
bit 7. To reset the printer write a 1 then a 0 to bit 6.
The bit assignments for reading this register are shown below. The bit

14.14 SPEAKER
The speaker circuit consists of an 8 ohm speaker driven by a circuit which

consists of U26, U27, Q12, Q13, and some discrete resistors and capacitors.
U26 is a logarithmic potentiometer which is set by software. Pulses are sent to
this potentiometer from a timer in the processor and these pulses turn the volume
up and down. A tone is generated by programming the registers in the FPGA and
connecting this tone to the potentiometer. The tones amplitude is modified by
the potentiometer and sent to the amplifier U27 which adds a DC offset to the
tone and drives transistors Q12 and Q13, which generates a 12 volt signal. This
signal goes to a 3.3 ohm resistor and is then capacitively coupled by a 220 uF
capacitor to the speaker.
14.15 NIBP (NON INVASIVE BLOOD PRESSURE) CONTROL
NIBP is a measurement taken by wrapping a blood pressure cuff on the patients

arm and automatically inflating the cuff, then deflating the cuff under controlled
conditions and monitoring the signals from the pressure transducers connected to
the cuff air tubes. Pressure signals are amplified, passed to an A/D converter for
conversion to digital format, and then analyzed by the processor software.
14-20
14.15.1 NIBP System Overview
The NPB-4000C Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) measurement and display

operations described in this section include the pneumatics of the inflatable cuff
and control valves, the specialized front end NIBP circuitry, some of the P
Memory and Control circuitry, some of the Power System, and specific switches
on the Keypad. The major blocks involved from the cuff to the microprocessor
are the pump, pressure transducers, control valves, digital control circuits, and
the analog detection circuits. The pump is mounted on the Power System
assembly and is driven by a pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signal from the
Digital Hardware section of the Main Board assembly. That signal is gated by
an enabling signal originating in the microprocessor of the section of the Main
Board. The pumped air is ducted through tubing and valves mounted on the
Main Board and made available at the front end connection to the cuff.
Principle of Measurement
Prior to making blood pressure measurements, the cuff is placed around the
arterial location of an upper arm (left or right). The NIBP measurement system
is initiated by commands responding to pressing the NIBP switch on the front
panel. The cuff is inflated at a rate controlled by the pump excitation current to
a pressure above diastolic, at which level the artery is effectively occluded.
Then, as the cuff pressure is reduced at constant rate, the pressure transducers
provide analog signals to the digital hardware where the are digitized and
processed to obtain systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure values, as well
as the beat rate. The technique for translating the pressure signals into the
required measurements makes use of the action of the oscillatory characteristic
of the returning arterial pressure. The phenomenon is illustrated in the diagram
below.
See Figure 14-11. Systolic pressure is defined as the point at which oscillation
increases sharply. As the cuff deflates, oscillation amplitude increases to a
maximum, and then decreases. The point of peak oscillation amplitude is the
mean arterial pressure. The point at which oscillations cease is defined as the
diastolic pressure.
Figure 14-11: Oscillatory Characteristics Diagram
14-21
14.15.1.1 The pneumatic assembly
The pneumatic assembly, consisting of the pump, two controlling valves, and
tubing to connect the various pneumatic components together are illustrated in
the schematic diagram that follows.
See Figure 14-12. The pump output is connected to the cuff and to two valves: a
two-way and a three-way valve, as well as to two pressure transducers.
Operation of the valves and of the pump control are defined as described in the
following text.
Figure 14-12: Pneumatic Assembly Block Diagram
Control valve V2 is used to control the rate of deflation. The smoothly variable
opening of the valve is controlled by the valve excitation current.
3-Way valve V1 is either fully ON or fully OFF. It performs two functions:
1. It dumps the remaining pressure from the cuff at the end of the
deflation cycle;
2. It connects the pressure transducers directly to the atmosphere for
calibration purposes.
14.15.1.2 NIBP Hardware
The NIBP Analog Control Hardware is highlighted in the block diagram. It

includes the front end NIBP circuitry, as well as the pressure transducers and
pump.
14-22
Figure 14-13: NIBP Hardware Block Diagram

14.15.1.2.1 Pressure Transducers
Pressure transducers PS1 and PS2 convert pneumatic pressure levels to voltages
in the range from 0.33 volts at 0 mmHg to 4 volts at 300 mmHg. Transducer
PS1 is used to sense the main cuff pressure. Transducer PS2 is used as a backup
cuff pressure sensor, from which over-pressure warning signals are obtained.
Both transducers outputs are smoothed to remove the effects of pumping
pulsation. The output of PS1 is identified as signal NIBPPRSR1, while that of
PS2 is NIBPPRSR2.
14.15.1.2.2 Filtering the Oscillatory Signal
Amplifiers U16-1 and U16-14, in combination with the lumped resistance and
capacitance values of the passive components, form a band pass filter that
separates and amplifies the oscillatory signals OSC from the deflating cuff
transducer signal NIBPRSR1. Amplifier U16-8 provides hysteresis.
14.15.1.2.3 Power Supplies
Battery power, VBATTP, connected to the board at J3, pins 13 and 14, is
regulated in U15 when that component is enabled by the NPANPWR analog
power On/Off signal input to U10-4. The regulator accepts a battery voltage of 6
to 8 volts and delivers regulated +5 volts to power the pressure transducers and
biasing circuitry for the operational amplifiers.
14.15.1.2.4 Over-Pressure Detector
Pump and Valve drivers are controlled by the NPPVEN pump and valve enable
signal that is generated in U16-7 level-detector amplifier circuit. One input to
that amplifier is the NIBPRSR2 signal from transducer P2. The other is a value
determined by voltage divider R68 and R64, and feedback resistor R61.
The pump and valve drivers are enabled only when cuff pressure is below
nominal 330 mmHg for adult mode, and below 165 mmHg for neonatal
measurements.
14-23
14.15.1.2.5 Pump and Valve Drivers
Three-way valve V1 coil is powered by VPS that is switched in series with the
coil through n-channel MOSFET Q10-6. Switching action of Q10-6 is
controlled by the input signal NP3WYV, that is gated by the enabling signal
NPPVEN at switch U23. VPS is developed from VBATTP through Q11-6 that
is also controlled by NPVEN gating transistor Q6. Diode D5 acts to suppress
voltage spikes. Resistor R101 insures that Q10-6 will be OFF in case of an open
to the input line. The valve is either fully closed, or fully open.
Control valve V2 coil is powered by VBATTP and controlled by switching nchannel MOSFET Q10-7, in series with the coil. Q10-7 is controlled by input
signal NIBPCNTLVLV. Pulse width modulation (PWM) of a 5-volt level is
used to operate the control valve. No-voltage results in a fully closed valve. As
the duty cycle of the PWM is varied from 0 to 100%, the valve changes smoothly
from fully closed to fully open. Repetition rate for the PWM is at least 9 kHz.
Diode D4 suppresses voltage spikes, and resistor R100 assures that Q10-7 will
be OFF if the input line should open.
14.15.1.2.6 NIBP Pump Control
pump power from the processor board. For singly-point fault protection, the
pump requires two signals (PUMPON and PVENB to activate the pump.
PUMPON (when high) turns on FET Q18 that pulls the bottom lead of the motor
to ground. PVENB, through level translator Q19, turns on FET Q17 that pulls
the top motor lead to VBATT.
When no voltage is present at Q18, the pump is fully OFF. As the duty cycle
increases from 0 to 100%, the pump power changes smoothly from full OFF to
fully ON. This control technique minimizes overshoot of the targeted pressure.
Diode D32 suppresses voltage spikes, while R78 insures that Q18 will be OFF if
the line opens. Resistor R77 and capacitor C46 suppress motor brush noise.
14.15.1.3 Digital Signal Processing and Information Display
NPB-4000C software, resident in the microprocessor controller and memory

peripherals, include the algorithms needed to process the digitized outputs of the
Digital Hardware just described. It also includes the system software that
responds to the commands for desired modes of NIBP measurements, display of
NIBP values of systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure, storing trend data,
and for recording/printing of such data, and for initiation and silencing alarms.
Details of these functions are contained in the theory of operation of the
microprocessor and control circuitry.
14.16 FRONT END INTERFACE
The LNA front end multiplexes analog channels to a linear opto-coupler which is
connected to the A/D converter. The A/D converter connects to the transmit and
receive ports of the SSIO (Synchronous Serial I/O) unit in the 386EX. Control
data is passed to the A/D and the front end via the SSIO signals at the same time
14-24
the previous conversion is transferred to the 386EX. The SSIO unit works with
the both of the DMA units in the 386EX as well as the timer unit.
The functional operation of the DMA, SSIO, A/D Converter, and the front end is
as follows. Software sets up DMA CHANNEL 0 to transfer from DRAM a
buffer which contains 16 bit control words. The timer is set up to generate a
pulse every 1.25 ms (800 Hz rate). DMA CHANNEL 1 is set up to transfer data
from the SSIO receive buffer to a DRAM buffer. The SSIO unit is set up to
transmit and receive data when it receives a serial clock. Once set up all of the
above circuits work together with the FPGA serial clock circuit to initiate a
conversion and transfer the conversions into memory.
The timer output is routed to DMA CHANNEL 0 and the FPGA. The DMA unit
transfers a 16 bit control word from DRAM to the SSIO transmit buffer. At the
same time the FPGA starts synchronizing to the 25 kHz clock generated
internally in the FPGA. The FPGA circuit generates a serial clock which goes to
the SSIO clock input and the A/D converter clock input. The SSIO transmit unit
starts transmitting the 16 bit control word to the A/D and the front end. The A/D
converter receives and interprets the first 8 bits, and ignores the last 8 bits. The
front end ignores the first 8 bits and stores the last 8 bits. At the same time that
it is receiving the control word, the A/D transmits to the SSIO receive unit the
data from the previous conversion. Three things are happening at once. The
A/D starts a new conversion after receiving the control word, the A/D transmits
to the SSIO the previous conversions data, and the front end changes its
multiplexer to the new input channel. Since the A/D converter has its own
sample and hold, once the conversion begins, the input to the A/D can change
without affecting the conversion. Thus, the front end sets up for the next
conversion, the A/D starts a conversion, and the A/D also transmits the previous
conversions data. Once the DMA unit receives the new data word from the A/D
it transfers it to the DRAM memory.
There is a specific sampling scheme for converting the analog signals. The A/D
converters sampling sequence is programmed by software. The channel
selections for the A/D and the front end are contained in the control words
transmitted by the SSIO. Since the A/D is a pipelined converter, the A/D
channel address sent is for the next conversion, and the front end channel
address is for the second conversion. Thus, when a control word is sent, it
contains the A/D channel to convert, and the front end channel for the next
conversion. The data that gets transferred is for the previous channel. Sampling
occurs every 1.25 ms (800 Hz rate), and there is room for 20 samples in a cycle.
The samples are repeated every 500 ms.
14.16.1 TIMER/DMA/SSIO INTERFACE
The software sets up TIMER1 to generate an output at an 800 Hz rate (1.25 ms).
The timer is routed to DMA CHANNEL 0 which is programmed to transfer a 16
bit control word to the SSIO transmit holding buffer. The SSIO transmits this
word to the A/D and the front end. The A/D stores the first 8 bits and the front
end stores the last 8 bits. At the same time the A/D transfers to the SSIO receive
buffer the previous conversions data. When the SSIO receive buffer becomes
full, it starts DMA CHANNEL 1, which transfers the data word to memory from
the SSIO receive buffer. This process continues indefinitely.
14-25
The control words sent to the A/D converter contain the A/D multiplexer
channel to convert, the data length, data format, and whether the conversion is a
unipolar or bipolar conversion.
The first bit transferred out the SSIO transmit line is the most significant bit, bit
15. The A/D takes bits 15-8 and the front end takes bits 7-0. Bit definitions are
as follows.

Once these 8 bits are strobed into the front end serial shift register, a load pulse
is generated which transfers these bits to the output register in the shift register
and these bits now become effective.

14.17.2 DRAM CONTROL CIRCUIT
The DRAM control circuits consist of a small state machine to generate RAS/,
LCAS/, UCAS/,DRAMOE/, WRITE/, CASADREN/, FDRRD, and
ENDTABFR. The process of reading, writing, and refreshing the DRAM is
controlled by these circuits. Each portion of the circuit is described below.
RAS/ (Row Address Strobe) is a 75 ns signal which strobes the row address into
the DRAM. Next, a 50 ns signal called LCAS/ (Lower Column Address Strobe)
and/or UCAS/ (Upper Column Address Strobe) is/are generated which strobes
the column address into the DRAM. Once RAS/ and LCAS/ and/or UCAS/ have
occurred, either a read of the DRAM takes place if DRAMOE/ is true, or a write
to the DRAM takes place if WRITE/ is true. Only one of these last 2 signals can
be true at one time. 25 ns before CAS/ occurs, CASADREN is generated. When
this signal is high the row address is enabled to the DRAM and when it is low
the column address is enabled to the DRAM. The signal ENDTABFR is a low
true signal and enables the data bus buffer on the Mother Board (D5-18055) to
transfer data to or from the 386EX.
14-27
14.17.3 RAS/ CONTROL CIRCUIT
The RAS/ control circuit consists of 5 flip flops called STARTFF, DRAMINFF,
RAS1FF, RAS2FF, and RAS3FF. The ADS/ signal from the 386EX is anded
with the CLK_PH2 signal and then goes to the IDE/ input of the DRAMINFF.
CS6/ (DRAM chip select) goes to the D input. It is clocked into the flip flop on
the rising edge of the IOCLOCK signal at the end of the T1 state (which is the
same as the beginning of the T2 state). At the same time the STARTFF is
conditioned to get set every time CLK_PH2 and ADS/ occur. This signifies the
beginning of a cycle because ADS/ is only true at the beginning of a new cycle.
Once these 2 flip flops are set RAS/ is generated and goes out of the FPGA on
pin 138. CASADREN is low and enables the row address to the DRAM. On the
next 3 consecutive CLK_40MHZ rising edges, RAS1FF is set low, then RAS2FF
is set low, and finally RAS3FF is set low. This takes 75 ns, and when RAS3FF
is set low it disables the RASAND gate and turns off RAS/ (RAS/ goes high).
The STARTFF had to be added because if an idle state occurs after a DRAM
read the RAS state machine does not turn off properly and it will not pick up the
next DRAM read if it follows the idle state. What was happening was as
follows. The DRAMINFF is set at the beginning of the T2 state of a valid
DRAM read cycle. The RAS1FF is set 25 ns later, the RAS2FF is set 25 ns after
that, and the RAS3FF is set 25 ns after that. It takes another 75 ns for each of
these flip flops to turn off and this extends into the first T state of the next cycle.
If it is a valid cycle everything is OK. If, however, it is an idle state, then the
state machine just continues to turn back on because CS6/ remains low during
the idle state even though its not doing a DRAM read. Since the state machine
thinks it is back on, it does a DRAM read cycle, but it is out of sync with the
actual next DRAM read. The idle state is only one T state long (50 ns) and the
easiest solution at the time was to put in the STARTFF which turns on only
when ADS/ is true which can only occur at the beginning of a valid cycle and not
when an idle state occurs. The STARTFF turns off when the READY/ signal
occurs which happens at the end of each cycle. This gives a definitive start and
stop for each valid cycle.
14.17.3.1 UCAS/ and LCAS/ CONTROL CIRCUITS
25 ns after RAS/ goes low, RAS1FF/ goes low and CASADREN goes low,
enabling the column address to the DRAM. 25ns later RAS2FF/ is set low, and
is conditioned with BLEB/, RAS1/, and LCD_MEM_SEL/ to generate LCAS/.
Substituting BHEB/ for BLEB/ and conditioning with the same signals, UCAS/
is generated. The DRAM is separated into upper and lower portions and require
separate CAS signals, hence the UCAS/ and LCAS/ signals. BLEB and BHEB
are low byte and high byte enable signals from the 386EX. LCD_MEM_SEL/ is
part of the conditioning because software requested that the display memory
might be overlaid with the DRAM memory and, therefore, it has priority.
14-28
14.17.3.2 DRAMOE/ CONTROL CIRCUIT
The DRAMOE/ signal enables the output drivers in the DRAM which is
activated on a read of the DRAM memory. DRAMOE/ is generated from RAS1/,
BLEORBHE, WRB/, and LCD_MEM_SEL/. The RAS1/ must be low,
indicating that a DRAM access is beginning. The BLEORBHE is high (true)
and indicates that a valid read is occurring. The WRB/ must be high indicating
that a write is not taking place, and LCD_MEM_SEL/ is high indicating that the
memory location is mapped to DRAM and not LCD memory.
14.17.3.3 CASADREN SIGNAL
The CASADREN signal is a signal which enables the row address and column
address to the DRAM when RAS/ and CAS/ are generated. This signal is high
and enables the row address when RAS/ goes low and remains high until RAS1/
goes low at which time CASADREN goes low, enabling the column address.
This occurs 25 ns before LCAS/ or UCAS/ goes low. It is connected to the
RAS1/ signal and stays low for 75 ns.
14.17.3.4 WRITE SIGNAL
The WRITE/ signal is generated for writing to DRAM, FLASH, RTC, and the
DUART. Writing to the DRAM occurs when RAS1/ is true, WRB/ is true,
LCD_MEM_SEL/ is false, and D_CB is high, indicating a data operation. As a
note, a WRITE/ must be generated in glue logic because various memory and
peripheral chips require a hold time when writing data to it. The 386EX turns
the WR/ signal off at the end of the last T2 state of a cycle. When this happens,
the data bus buffer is also turned off and the data lines go into a tri-state
condition. This can happen rather quickly, (less then 5 ns) and cannot guarantee
a decent hold time for the data being written.
14.17.3.5 ENDTABFR SIGNAL
The signal ENDTABFR is a low true signal and enables the data bus buffer on
the Mother Board (D5-18055) to transfer data to or from the 386EX. It powers
up in the high state and is set low when ADSB/ goes low, which signifies that a
new cycle is beginning. This is true for all transfers except if the RTC is
selected. If the RTC is selected then the signal doesnt go low until state 9 of the
RTC state machine. This is ensured by jamming the D input with a high signal
generated by the anding of RTC_SEL low and the state machine having not
reached state 8. When ENDTABFR is low, it is set high again when the
READY/ signal goes low, signifying the end of a cycle. The RTC has a
multiplexed address/data bus and requires that the data bus buffer be tri-stated
when the address is enabled to the RTC chip.
14-29
14.17.4 CONTROL REGISTER DECODE
The CONTROL REGISTER decoder is a 1 of 8 decoder which decodes the

register addresses for the 8 control registers in the FPGA. The decoder generates
a high going pulse coincident with WRB/ on 1 of the 8 output signal lines. The
register addresses are as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

The function of each of these registers is explained later.

14.17.5 PUSH BUTTON INTERRUPT
When a membrane switch is pressed, a low true signal occurs. All of the
membrane switches are ored together to generate the PBINTPD signal which is
read via the status register. This signal also comes out on pin 81 of the FPGA
for testing purposes only. It does not go the 386EX interrupt inputs. The
software polls the status register at a known rate and checks to see if this bit is
set.
14.17.6 WATCH DOG TIMER ENABLE
The WDT output from the 386EX is anded with a 50 kHz signal which is derived
from the 100 kHz output of timer 2 of the 386EX. When powering up the WDT
is not in the correct mode of operation until the software programs it. Therefore,
to prevent the power supply from shutting down prematurely, the WDTENFF
must be set high after the WDT has been programmed. Writing to address 30C
automatically sets this bit high and enables the WDT function.
14.17.7 REGISTER 30E
This register has 2 bits, NSCALL (nurse call) and PTRRST (printer reset). Each
of these bits can be set high or low by programming the bit 6 for the PTRRST
signal and bit 7 for the NSCALL signal. The NSCALL signal goes out on pin
123 and PTRRST goes out on pin 151.
14.17.8 FLASH CHIP ENABLE
The EXECUTABLE FLASH chip is assigned to UCS (upper chip select) and the
TREND FLASH is assigned to CS2. Software requested that they be able to
map the TREND FLASH in the EXECUTABLE FLASH address space. To
accomplish this the TREND FLASH selection has priority over the
EXECUTABLE FLASH. Thus, the EXECUTABLE FLASH chip select must be
conditioned with the TREND FLASH chip select. This is done by anding
BOOTFLSHSEL/ low with TRND_FLSH_SEL/ high and M_IOB/ high. The
FLSH1CE/ low gets generated whenever the BOOT FLASH is being addressed
and the TREND FLASH is not being addressed.
14-30
14.17.9 FLASH WRITE STATE MACHINE
The FLASH write state machine consists of 5 flip flops and is set into action
when CS2/ or UCS/ is low, CLK_PH1 is high ( which indicates the first phase of
the T2 state), WRB/ is low, and BLEORBHE is high indicating a byte or word
transfer. The FLSHWRFF1 signal is set true at the midpoint of T2, which
generates FLASHWRT and WRITE/ on pin 2. The state machine flip flops are
clocked on CLK_PH1 which occurs at the beginning of each T2 state. There are
4 flip flops which gives a 200 ns time, and the FLSHWRT signal gets turned off
at the mid point of the last T2 state, generating a total WRITE/ low pulse of 250
ns. Minimum for either FLASH is 200 ns.
14.17.10 RESET/CLOCK PHASE CLOCK CIRCUITS
When power is turned on, a reset signal is enters on pin 104. The RESETFF is
set true on the next CLK_40MHZ rising clock edge and RESET exits on pin 63.
This is the master reset signal for the whole board and the 386EX. At the same
time it is required to make sure that the control circuits are in sync with the
386EX, and this is done by generating our own phase 1 (CLK_PH1) and phase 2
(CLK_PH2) signals. The CLK_PH1 signal starts as soon as RESET goes low,
and CLK_PH2 always follows CLK_PH1 and is the inverse of CLK_PH1.
These clocks are 50 percent duty cycle clocks running at 20 MHz (50 ns period).
Each T state of the processor is composed of 2 phases or clock states, first
CLK_PH1, then CLK_PH2, and is 50 ns long.
14.17.11 READY/ CIRCUIT
The READY/ circuit is complicated by the fact that either the processor or an
external peripheral can generate the READY/ signal. There are 2 conditions
under which an external READY/ signal can be generated. First was any access
to the LCD controller or memory, and second, when a HALT instruction is
executed. The software programs 2 wait states for any access to the LCD
controller and each access is terminated after the WAIT# signal from the 1354
returns high. The WAIT# signal is connected to pin 141 of the FPGA. The
other remaining circuit requiring and external READY/ is when a HALT
instruction is executed. The HALT AND gate ands D_CB/ low, M_IOB/high,
and W_RB/ high to generate a READY/. The HALT READY/ and LCD WAIT#
are connected through a multiplexer which connects to the 386 READY/. This
READY/ signal comes out on pin 47 of the FPGA.
14.17.12 MICELLANEOUS CLOCK CIRCUITS
The master clock from the 40 MHz oscillator enters the FPGA on pin 154 and
75. The CLK2_40MHZ is the 40 MHz internal clock for the FPGA. A 20 MHz
clock enters the FPGA on pin 158, this signal is generated by the 386EX. This
signal called PHI1-FPGA will be used in the LCD control circuit.
14-31
14.17.13 RTC/DUART STATE MACHINE
Interfacing to the DUART and RTC requires slowing down the signals. A 20
state machine is implemented to interface to these circuits. The state machine
always starts up when ADSB/ is low and CLK_PH1 is high. The RTC1AFF is
set high on the rising edge of the master clock, CLK2_40MHZ. If the RTC or
DUART is not selected, the state machine is reset on the next CLK2_40MHZ.
The first 2 flip flops of the state machine are clocked on the CLK2_40MHZ
rising edge, while the remaining flops are clocked on the rising edge of
CLK_PH1, which occurs at the beginning of each state. The time between the
rising edges of this clock is 50 ns. The total time for the state machine is 1000
ns (1 us). This is required for the RTC, but the DUART only requires 4 states,
200 ns. The software programs the CS4 (DUART) for 2 wait state and the RTC
for 18 wait states.
14.17.14 RTC CONTROL
The RTC control signals consist of READ_RTC, WRITE_RTC, RTC_ADREN/,

and RTC_ALE. These are all generated from the state machine cycles. The
RTC has a multiplexed address/data bus, and, therefore, requires that the bidirectional data bus be tri-stated while the address is enabled to the RTC. The
ENDTABFR signal is disabled high if the RTC is selected. It is jammed high by
the ENDTARTCAND gate which ands RTC_SEL/ low and RTCS8 low.
ENDTABFR goes low at the start of state 9 by anding RTCS9 low and RTCS8
high. During the time ENDTABFR is high, the address is enabled by
RTC_ADREN/, which is generated when RTCS2 is high and while RTCS8 is
low. At this same time RTC_ALE is generated between states 1 and 5, latching
the address into the RTC. When state 9 is reached, either a read or write
happens, depending on the state of the WR/ and RD/ signals. The READ_RTC
is generated between the states 9 and 20, while WRITE_RTC is generated
between the states of 9 and 19. The READ_RTC generates FDRRD/ on pin 46.
The WRITE_RTC generates WRITE/ on pin 2.
In review, the RTC control has to enable the address to the RTC and generate the
RTC_ALE signal to latch the address. Next, the data buffer must be enabled in
the proper direction and the read or write signals generated.
14.17.15 DUART CONTROL
The DUART has 2 UART channels within one chip, and the chip select (CS4) is
used for both. The base address is used to program UART channel 0, and the
base address + 80 hex is used to program UART channel 1. This decoding is
done under the DUART control section and the 2 chip selects (DURT0_CS and
DURT1_CS). The software programs 2 wait states for the DUART. The
READ_DUART signal is generated from the state machine states 1 to 3, shutting
off in state 4. This gives a 150 ns read pulse. The write pulse is generated from
states 1 to2, shutting off in state 3, generating a 100 ns write pulse. This gives a
50 ns hold time on the data to the DUART.
14-32
14.17.16 FREQUENCY GENERATOR
The master clock in, generates 2 internal signals, CLK_PH1 and CLK_PH2, both
of which are 20 MHz clocks 180 degrees out of phase with each other. The
CLK_PH1 is divided down into 10 MHz, 5 MHz, 2.5 MHz, 1.25 MHz, 525 kHz,
313 kHz, 156 kHz, and 78 kHz. The 10 MHz is output on pin 139 and goes to
the DUART controller as its master clock. 313 kHz is used by the NIBP PWM
circuits. The 156 kHz and 78 kHz are used by the speaker frequency generating
circuit.
14.17.17 LCD CONTROL
The LCD CONTROL circuit generates the control signals for the SED1354, they
are RD_WR/, RD/, WR0/, WR1/, and CS/.
The RD/ is generated by anding BLEB/ with RDB/. The output signal is called
LCD_LRD/. This signal comes from pin 59 of the FPGA and goes to pin 7 of
the 1354.
The RD_WR/ is generated by anding BHEB/ with RD/. The output signal is
called LCD_URD/. This signal comes from pin 60 of the FPGA and goes to pin
10 of the 1354.
The WR0/ is generated by an AND gate and a flip flop. The AND gate is
anding BLEB/ with WRB/. The flip flop is used to delay the WR0/. The
reason for the delay is to ensure that data out of the 386 is valid and to meet the
maximum delay from WR0/ low to data valid of the 1354. The flip flop will
become cleared when ADS/ goes low for the start of the next cycle. The output
signal is called LCD_LWR/. This signal comes from pin 56 of the FPGA and
goes to pin 8 of the 1354.
The WR1/ is generated by an AND gate and a flip flop. The AND gate is
anding BHEB/ with WRB/. The flip flop is used to delay the WR1/. The
reason for the delay is to ensure that data out of the 386 is valid and to meet the
maximum delay from WR0/ low to data valid of the 1354. The flip flop will
become cleared when ADS/ goes low for the start of the next cycle. The output
signal is called LCD_UWR/. This signal comes from pin 58 of the FPGA and
goes to pin 9 of the 1354.
CS/ is essentially generated by oring LCD_CNTL_SEL/ with
LCD_MEM_SEL/. The First flip flop will become set when ADS/ and
PHI1_FPGA are both low to indicate the start of a cycle The Second flip flop
will get set when LCD_CNTL_SEL/ or LCD_MEM_SEL/ is low and the First
flip flop is set. The Third flip flop will get set 25 ns after the Second. The
reason for the third flip flop is to meet the minimum timing from WE0/ or WE1/
low to CS/ low of the 1354. The flip flops will stay latched until
LCD_CNTL_SEL and LCD_MEM_SEL/ are both high or if ADS/ goes low.
The output signal is called LCD_CS/. It comes from the FPGA pin 53 and goes
to pin 4 of the 1354.

14.17.19 NIBP PUMP/VALVE PWM CONTROL
This circuit consists of an 8 bit holding register and an 8 bit up/down counter.
This circuit is first used to control the NIBP pump by generating a pulse width
modulated signal which drives the pump on the POWER SUPPLY board. After
the pump has inflated the cuff, this same circuit is used to control opening the
valve to let the air out of the cuff. The pump PWM signal exits on pin 4 and the
valve PWM exits on pin 132. The enable for these 2 output buffers are
programmed in the control register and are mutually exclusive.
The software loads a value into the 8 bit holding register. The counter is clocked
by a 313 kHz clock and on all the time. When the counter overflows, the value
in the holding register is loaded into the counter synchronously with the 313 kHz
clock. The counter operates as a count up then count down circuit, always
generating the same frequency, but with different duty cycles. Once a value is
loaded into the counter, the counter counts up until it overflows. If
PUMP_PWM_GO is true, then the PUMP_PWM_FF is output on pin 3. When
the counter overflows, the PUMP_PWM_FF changes state, and the counter is
reloaded with the holding registers value. Now the counter counts down until it
underflows, at which time, the flip flop changes state, the holding registers
value is reloaded and counting continues in the up direction. Since the same
value is loaded each time, the total time for a count up and a count down is 313
kHz divided by 255, and, therefore, the signal frequency remains the same. The
duty cycle changes as the software programs the holding register, thus allowing
for a fully OFF to a fully ON signal with intermediate steps at a 3.2 us
resolution.
14-34
14.17.20 SPEAKER HIGH AND LOW CONTROL
The speaker requires tones from about 300 Hz to 1 kHz with a 55 percent duty
cycle. In order to give software full control over both the frequency and duty
cycle, there are 2 software programmable 8 bit up counters, one for generating
the low portion of the TONE_OUT and one for generating the high portion. The
TONE_OUT flip flop is jammed reset when the FREQ_GO bit in the control
register is low. This enables the SPEAKER LOW counter. The software
programs the high and low values into the respective holding registers, then sets
the FREQ_GO bit. The TONE_OUT on pin 93 is low, and remains low until
the SPEAKER LOW counter overflows, which sets the TONE_OUT high and
loads the SPEAKER HIGH counter. This counter now increments until it
overflows, which now sets the TONE_OUT signal low and reloads the
SPEAKER LOW counter. This process continues until the software turns off the
TONE_OUT signal by resetting the FREQ_GO bit in the control register.
14.17.21 CONTROL REGISTER
The control register is an 8 bit register with miscellaneous programmable control

bits. These 8 bits are programmable and can be read back via the read back
multiplexer.
14.17.21.1 PUMP_PWM_GO and VALVE_PWM_GO BITS
The PUMP_PWM_GO is bit 0 and VALVE_PWM_GO is bit 1. These bits have

been mentioned above and are used to control the pump control signal for
inflating the cuff and the valve control signal for deflating the cuff.
14.17.21.2 CLK_FREQ_SEL CONTROL BIT
Bit 2 is the CLK_FREQ_SEL bit which selects the clock frequency for the
speaker counting registers. When low 156 kHz is selected and when high 313
kHz is selected. The 156 kHz is required so we can generate the low tones with
the two 8 bit counters.
14.17.21.3 FREQ_GO BIT
The FREQ_GO is bit 3 and is used to control the TONE_OUT signal to the
speaker. Setting this bit to a high enables the TONE_OUT and setting it low,
disables the TONE_OUT.
14.17.21.4 BCK_LITE_ON
This is bit 4 and is used to turn the LCD display CCF (Cold Cathode
Fluorescent) backlight ON and OFF. Setting this bit high turns the backlight on
and setting this bit low turns the backlight off.
14-35
14.17.21.5 FE_CLK_EN BIT
Bit 5 is the FE_CLK_EN which stands for the front end clock enable bit. This
bit enables the 200 kHz signal to the front end power supply transformer. The
software has control over the front end power supply via this bit. The major
reason for having this bit is to reset the front end by turning the power OFF, then
ON again via this bit.
14.17.21.6 PROG_EN BIT
Bit 6 is the program enable bit for reprogramming or storing data in the
executable FLASH. This bit when high enables the +3.3 volts DC onto the
programming bit of the FLASH. This allows data to be written into the FLASH
by writing to the FLASH.
14.17.21.7 ADCS_RESET BIT
This bit when high resets the A/D converter and clears the STYXCLK signal. It
holds the A/D converter in reset state until this bit is set low. This bit exits the
FPGA via pin 162.
14.17.22 STXCLK and ADCS/ CIRCUITS
The A/D converter has a synchronous serial interface (SSIO) to the 386EX. The
3 signals are transmit data, receive data, and clock. When the SSIO port in the
386EX is programmed and activated, it operates in an unusual manner. If new
data is not ready after a transmission, the serial unit will transmit the same data
over again. The solution is to generate the synchronous serial clock in the FPGA
rather than the 386EX SSIO unit. The TIMER0S output is routed to the FPGA
on pin 95 and enables a 25 kHz clock which goes out on pin 134. This is the
master synchronous serial clock and is routed to the A/D converter and the
386EX SSIO unit. The 386EX SSIO unit is programmed as a slave for the serial
clock and thus when it receives the serial clock from the FPGA it starts enabling
data onto the transmit line, and receives data on the receive line. The A/D
converter receives 16 clocks and then asserts its EOC signal which comes in on
pin 43. This turns off the serial clock and it doesnt turn on again until the next
tick from the timer. (The serial clock can also be turned off by setting the
ADCS_RESET bit in the CONTROL Register of the FPGA.) This same timer
tick is routed to the 386EX DMA unit and a new piece of data is transferred to
the SSIO unit in a waiting buffer. After the present data is transmitted, the new
data is loaded into the transmit register and is ready for transmission on the next
timer tick. This solves the problem of the SSIO unit retransmitting data.
14-36
14.17.23 SYNC_ALARM CIRCUIT
The power supply board requires a 50 kHz signal to generate the various
voltages in the system. A 100 kHz, 50 percent duty cycle signal is programmed
in the 386EX TIMER 1 unit. It enters the FPGA on pin 119 and is divided by 2
to get 50 kHz. This is anded with the WDT (pin 62) signal from the 386EX.
The WDTDETFF is held reset until enabled by WDTEN. If the WDT should
time out the WDTDETFF flip flop is set and disables the 50 kHz
SYNC_ALARM signal from going to the power supply, which will generate an
EARLEY WARNING signal to the 386EX and then shut off power to the main
board.
14.17.24 FE_CLK_100KHZ
This circuit feeds the 100 kHz clock from TIMER1 to pin 129 to the front end
for its power supply. It is enabled by FE_CLK_EN from the CONTROL
REGISTER as described earlier. The 100 kHz is not divided, the TIMER1
counter must be set into a mode which produces a 50 percent duty cycle square
wave.
14.17.25 KNOB ROTATION DETECT
The rotating knob on the front of the unit has an optical interface. Five volts are
supplied to it and it generates 2 signal channels (A and B) which are input to the
FPGA on pins 163 and 164. When the knob rotates clockwise the square wave
on CHANNEL A leads the square wave on CHANNEL B by 90 degrees. When
rotating counter clockwise, CHANNEL B leads CHANNEL A by 90 degrees.
This circuit exclusively ors the channels and generates an edge each time a
channel input changes state. One flip flop is set on the rising edge and another is
set on the trailing edge. These 2 flip flops are ored together and exit on pin 100,
which is for debugging purposes only. The software polls the status register and
if the KNOB INTERRUPT is high in bit 7 of hex address 30A, software reads
the status of the 2 input channels in bits 4 and 5 of the same register. Software
keeps track of these bits and can determine which one changes first to determine
the direction. The software to keep up with the knob rotation and in which
direction it is turning.

15.1.1 Three Power Supplies
See Figure 15-1 and

Figure 15-2. The NPB-4000/C power supply, as shown in the block diagram,
consists of three power supplies and some control logic. The three supplies are:
AC Mains Supply - Accepts universal AC input power (90 - 264 volts
RMS, 47-63 Hz). Provides safety line isolation, and produces 18 volts
DC at 2 amps (36 Watts) for the Battery Charger.
Battery Charger - Accepts input from either an external DC source
(vehicle battery) of 10-16 volts DC, or from the output of the AC Mains
Supply (18 volts DC). Provides a tailored charging profile for the
NPB-4000/C lead-acid, 3-cell battery. Includes current limiting and
temperature compensated float voltage. Maximum output, 7 volts DC at
3.5 amps (24.5 watts).
System Power Supply - Accepts input from the internal NPB-4000/C
battery (5.4 to 7 volts DC) and produces regulated outputs of +12, +5,
+3.3 and -24 volts DC for NPB-4000/C system usage. Maximum total
output power is 25 watts distributed among the four outputs. This peak
power occurs only briefly during NIBP pump and printer operation.
Typical output power is about 8 watts.

15.2 AC MAINS FLYBACK POWER SUPPLY
15-2
15.2.1 Overview
The AC (mains) power supply accepts 90 to 264 volts RMS at 47 to 63 Hz and

provides 18 volts DC at a maximum of 2 amps into the battery charger circuit.
The 18 volts DC overrides any supplied external DC (10-16 volts DC) and
becomes the dominant source to the charger when both external AC and DC are
present.
Figure 15-3: General Flyback Circuit Concept

15.2.2 Flyback Principles
See Figure 15-3. In a general flyback circuit, energy is stored in an inductor and
transferred to a load during switching cycles. In the first part of the cycle, the
switch is closed, the input voltage is applied to the inductor, and current builds
linearly. When the switch opens, the voltage at point A (which was grounded)
"flies back" up until it hits the output diode. The energy stored in the inductor
now depletes into the load.
In the NPB-4000/C power supply, the inductor is a transformer which provides
both isolation and a step-down function to reduce the output voltage as required.
Figure 15-4: AC Power Supply Block Diagram
See Figure 15-4. The NPB-4000/C AC supply runs from a universal AC input
and has EMI filtering, rectification, and capacitive storage to provide 100 to 350
15-3
volts DC to the flyback circuit. A control IC runs the FET switch, while the
transformer (used as an inductor) stores energy and transfers it to the load.
15.2.3 Input filter and Rectifier
The input EMI filter consists of an external "canned" EMI filter assembly
(common-mode choke plus X capacitors) that is external to the NPB-4000/C
power supply PC board, plus an on- board filter consisting of an L1
common-mode choke with C1 and C2 as X capacitors and C7 and C8 as Y
capacitors. Resistor R1 bleeds off any residual voltage on C1 and C2 after the
connection to input AC is broken. Surge Limiter R16 limits the initial current
through the AC Front End on a cold start when C3 is completely discharged.
Fuses F1 and F2 offer safety breaks for both sides of the input line. Diode
bridge D1 rectifies the incoming AC to produce a DC voltage from 100 to 350
volts DC at C3.
15.2.4 Controller
The input controller (U1) is a two-loop (current and voltage) controller that
forms a fixed frequency variable duty cycle PWM flyback power supply by
operating the main switching FET Q1 to regulate the voltage across C12.
Controller U1 draws minimal current before operation starts. Initial controller
power builds up on C4 from the current supplied by R14 and R15. When U1
begins to operate (at about 10 volts DC), the primary tap (T1, pin 3) supplies
power through D4 for the controller. The primary tap also creates the voltage on
C12 which is regulated by the controller to 11 volts DC. The transformer
secondary is indirectly regulated by turns ratio and magnetic coupling to provide
about 18 volts DC.
Resistor R11 and capacitor C14 set the fixed operating frequency (about 100
kHz) of the converter. Current loop feedback enters the controller from current
shunt R6, which produces a peak signal of 1 volt with a 1.5 amp primary current.
Current limiting (short protection) occurs when the ISNS pin of the controller
reaches 1.1 volts. The current waveform is filtered by R8 and C15 to drive the
ISENSE input of the controller. Feed-forward resistor R13 provides a bias that
lowers the current limit setpoint as the primary input voltage rises . The
controller voltage error amplifier works with an internal 2.5 volt reference to
regulate the voltage at pin 2 at 2.5 volts. Attenuator R10 and R12 scale the
11 volts DC down to 2.5 volts DC for the error amplifier. Error amplifier
compensation is provided by C11, C17, and R9.
15.2.5 Power Devices
The switching FET is driven through R4 (to eliminate the possibility of bipolar
latch-up of the output stage). Leakage inductance energy from the transformer
primary is caught by D2 and C9, and dissipated in R2. Capacitor C16 and
resistor R7 help to damp spurious ringing and lower EMI radiation.
The transformer output is rectified and filtered by D5 and C18. Capacitor C10
and resistor R17 serve to damp output leakage inductance ringing.
15-4
15.3 BATTERY CHARGER

15.3.1 Overview
The NPB-4000/C power supply contains a battery charger circuit that accepts
DC input from either the isolated AC mains flyback circuit or an externally
supplied DC input (10 to 16 volts DC). The output of the battery charger
provides a current limited, voltage regulated, temperature compensated output to
charge a 6 volt, 8 AH lead-acid battery.
15.4 BUCK CONVERTER OPERATION
Figure 15-5: Buck Converter Circuit
See Figure 15-5. The battery charger is a buck-switching converter design. In a

buck converter (which provides a reduced, or bucked, output voltage) a series
switch applies the input voltage to the output through an inductor. When the
inductor current has built to a level sufficient to satisfy the load, the switch is
opened. The current flowing in the inductor causes the input lead to fly down
until it is caught by the catch diode at a voltage slightly below ground. The
inductor current then diminishes until the switching cycle is repeated.
The battery charger receives input DC either from the external DC supply (10 to
14 volts) or the AC main supply which provides 18 volts DC. Dual diode D5
essentially acts as an OR gate, allowing the highest voltage to charge C18. Thus
the complete input DC range on C18 is from about 10 to 18 volts DC.
15.4.1 Controller
Controller U2 receives its power directly from the input source. Controller U2
will begin operation when the available input voltage is above 9 volts DC. The
frequency of PWM operation (about 100 kHz) is set by R26 and C22. Capacitor
C69 charges slowly and provides soft start operation by slowly raising the
current limit of the controller by clamping the COMP pin through D35.
15-5
Switch current information comes from current transformer T2 that provides a

current through R29, which is 1/100 of the main switch current. Thus 1 volt
across R29 represents 3.4 amps of switch current. The current waveform is fed
through an RC filter (R20, C23) to the controller. The controller limits the
output current when the ISNS pin reaches about 1.1 volts, or about 3.5 amps
average output current.
15.4.2 Float Voltage Regulation
When not in current limit, the controller regulates the VFBK pin to +2.5 volts
based on an internal reference. Resistors R25 and R28 attenuate the output
voltage to 2.5 volts DC. The thermistor R52 in series with R51 provides voltage
setpoint modulation based on the thermistor resistance. The nominal regulated
voltage setpoint at 25C is 7.05 volts DC. With a 3-cell battery, the nominal
charged cell voltage is thus 2.35 volts at 25C. The temperature compensation
of the battery charger adjusts the output voltage to match (three times) the
recommended charged cell voltage as shown in Figure 15-6.
Figure 15-6: Float Voltage vs. Temperature
Capacitor C42, resistor R27, and capacitor C24 provide frequency compensation
for the voltage error amplifier.
15.4.3 Drive Translator
The switch control output of the controller does not drive the buck switch
directly, but through the inverting driver U3. The series buck switch is
P-channel FET Q2. The switch is on when the gate is pulled down toward
ground from the DC input rail. Because the gate voltage rating is limited to
15 volts, and the charger input voltage (DCSRC) may exceed 18 volts, we have
added a driver voltage regulator consisting of emitter follower Q5 with Zener
D9, which keeps the voltage from driver U3 limited to 12 volts under all input
voltage conditions. Diode D7 couples the switch control signal from the
controller to the driver.
15.5 POWER DEVICES
The switch connects the input source to inductor L3 through current transformer
T2 and a section of diode D10. A second section of D10 acts as the "catch"
diode in the buck converter. The output voltage is built up across C20 and
applied directly to the battery. The series section of diode D10 has been added
15-6
to the basic buck-converter diagram to prevent back driving of the circuit from
the battery when not charging. Diode D20 acts as a lightweight "catch" diode for
the small inductance of the current transformer.
15.6 MISCELLANEOUS CONTROL
The voltage regulation attenuator R28/R25 loads the battery when the circuit is
not powered, so voltage sensing of the output voltage occurs using Q6 as a
switch to connect attenuator resistor R28 to the output voltage. When the
controller is running, it produces a reference voltage (+5 volts) from VREF.
This turns on Q3, which pulls 4 ma. from R24, saturating Q6.
A characteristic of buck regulators is an "oscillation" that occurs when the duty
cycle exceeds 50 percent because of the flattening of the effective output
inductor current slope. The classic method of solving this problem is called
"slope compensation" whereby an enhancing slope is summed with the inductor
current slope. Slope compensation is applied here by emitter follower Q4 which
injects a portion of the oscillator timing ramp into the current loop.
15.7 SYSTEM POWER SUPPLY
The system power supply is a flyback design like the AC mains supply, but it is
non-isolated, runs from a DC input of 5.2 to 7.5 volts, and produces multiple
output voltages.
The main switching FET (Q8) in the system supply requires +12 volts gate drive
for low on resistance (efficient operation), so the controller IC (U4) is powered
from the +12 volts DC output generated by the operating supply.
15.7.1 Voltage Doubler
In order to get started, we have a voltage doubler to pump up the battery voltage
until supply operation has commenced. When the /PWRUP signal goes low, the
startup sequence begins. Transistor Q12 goes on, providing the battery voltage
to doubler U5. Doubler U5 is a dual-inverting power driver, and one section acts
as an oscillator with negative feedback provided through R44 and C41. The
output of the oscillator (/OUTA) is applied to the second inverting driver section
resulting in the /OUTB signal. Capacitor C68 provides positive feedback
hysteresis to ensure consistent high duty cycle oscillation . When /OUTB is low,
C39 is charged to the battery voltage through R42 and D19. When /OUTB is
high, the top of C39 is at twice the battery voltage and dumps its charge into C30
through D16. In a brief period, C30 will have built up enough voltage for
controller U4 to start, and thereafter U4 receives its power from the +12 volt
system output through D16.
15.7.2 Controller
The oscillator in U4 runs at about 40 kHz, set by C37 and R39. When the entire
system is running, an external 50 kHz sync pulse is applied to C45, which
creates a pulse on R47 to synchronize supply operation to the external signal.
Capacitor C34 charges slowly and provides soft start operation by slowly raising
the current limit of the controller by clamping the COMP pin through D18.
15-7
Controller U4 is a two-loop controller, current and voltage. Input current

information is supplied by transformer T4 which with its 100:1 turns ratio
produces 1 volt across R31 at 15.4 amps of peak switch current. Current limit is
established by U4 at 1.1 volts or 17 amps peak. This peak current equates to
about 5 amps maximum average input current.
The voltage loop of U4 regulates the +3.3 volt output through attenuator R41 and
R40 which provides 2.5 volts at U4, pin 2. The internal U4 reference and error
amplifier regulates this voltage, while C35 and gain limiter R38 provide loop
compensation.
15.7.3 Power Devices
Controller U4 drives the switching FET Q8 through R37 (to prevent bipolar latch
up of U4). The switching FET builds current in the system transformer,
monitored by current transformer T4. When the main FET shuts off, C32 and
R36 provide rise-time limitation and leakage inductance snubbing. Leakage
current energy is caught by D17 and transferred to C25/C33. Transistor Q7 acts
as a switch that turns on when the supply is running to shunt the leakage energy
(through R34) to the +12 volts DC supply output. This output (+12 volts)
always has a load (from the NPB-4000/C isolated Front End).
The transformer secondary has four rectified outputs to produce +12, +5, +3.3
and -24 volts DC. The -24-volt winding has snubbing (R35, C31) to damp
secondary leakage inductance ringing.
15.7.4 Control Circuits
The system supply is turned ON and OFF by the PWRUP/ signal that controls
Q11 and Q12. The supply is started when Q12 turns on, powering the voltage
doubler to start the controller. When the supply turns OFF, the voltage doubler
is stopped, but by that time, the supply is powered from the +12 output.
Transistor Q11 now comes into play, dropping the output of the error amplifier
(through the COMP pin of U4) to stop system supply operation.
15.8 MAINS (AC) LED OPERATION
The NPB-4000/C monitor has a front panel LED indicator that shows when AC
is connected to the unit and charging is underway. The DC input to the charger
powers comparator U14. When there is no external DC input (DCIN is low), the
comparator output is low. The low output turns on Q29, which powers the
MAINS LED indicator from the +5 reference (CVREF) of the charger IC.
15.8.1 External (DC) LED Operation
The NPB-4000/C monitor has a separate front panel LED indicator that shows
when external DC is connected to the unit and charging is underway from this
source. When external DC is the source for the charger input voltage, the
section of D5 that is connected to the external DC is forward biased.
Comparator U14 senses that condition and opens its open collector output.
Resistor R98 pulls the output up to the +5 volt reference at CVREF and drives
the MAINS LED through emitter follower Q23.
15-8
Neither LED is driven until CVREF is up, indicating that sufficient power is
reaching the charger.
15.9 POWER SUPPLY CONTROL LOGIC
When the battery is initially attached to the power supply, an R/C circuit
produces a single positive pulse (PWRRST) which ensures that the power and
alarm circuits are initially OFF.
15.9.1 ON/OFF Control
The NPB-4000/C system power supply is turned ON and OFF by alternate

pushes of a membrane switch on the front panel. This membrane switch is
pulled up to the battery voltage through R61, buffered, and filtered by R62/C52.
The conditioned signal toggles flip flop U8 (pin 1) with alternate switch pushes.
The second section of flip flop U8 (pin 12) produces the actual system power
supply ON/OFF control signal. The ON signal from U8 (pin 1) produces a brief
positive pulse at U8 (pin 8) that turns the system supply ON.
If the push-switch switch is pushed to turn the supply OFF, U12 (pin 1) will go
low. While the system supply is running, U12 (pin 2) will also be low. These
two low levels cause U12 (pin 3) to be low, which removes the RESET condition
from oscillator/divider U10. Oscillator U10 will begin to oscillate and will
produce a positive edge on its Q14 output after about 1 second. This edge will
clock a low into U8 (pin 11), shutting off the system supply.
15.9.2 Early Warning
The one-second delay between the request for OFF from the push-button and the
actual OFF action is called the early warning delay. This delay period allows the
processor on the Main Board to store data and make a graceful shutdown before
system power is lost. The power supply provides an early warning signal to the
Main Board via U11 (pin 6) and Q14 to alert of the pending shutdown.
The processor board can shut down the system power supply on command,
without any action from the front panel ON/OFF button. This occurs through the
PSOFF line (active low), which produces a high level on U12 (pin 5). The
resulting high on U8 (pin 10) directly shuts off system power. In general, the
processor has two reasons for shutting power down: either to truncate an early
warning cycle, or to halt operation under extreme low battery conditions.
15.9.3 SYNC Pulses
The system power supply runs at about 40 kHz without external synching, but
will move up to 50 kHz operation with an external clock signal. The external
sync signal from the processor drives Q16, which produces a 5-volt signal on its
collector that synchronizes the main supply through C45.
15-9
15.10 ALARM SECTION

15.10.1 Alarm Control
When the supply is first turned on, R82 tries to charge C54. During the 300-500
milliseconds charge-up time, it is expected that the supply will come into
operation, and the processor board will return sync pulses. The sync pulse will
drive Q20 to discharge C54. If the sync pulses stop for any reason, C54 will rise,
which will activate the alarm sounder and shut off the supply .
Flip flop U9 latches an alarm condition and is also used to stop a sounding
alarm. The flip flop is reset by PWRRST, or by a push of the front panel
SILENCE push button.
15.10.2 Alarm Sounder
A SET condition of U9 will turn on FETs Q21 and Q22. With power applied,
timing U13 will oscillate and drive the speaker lead with the alarm waveform.
15.11 NIBP PUMP CONTROL
pump power from the processor board. For single point fault protection, the
pump requires two signals (PUMPON and PVENB) to activate the pump. The
PUMPON signal (when high) turns on the N-channel FET section of U15, which
pulls the bottom lead of the motor to ground. The PVENB signal, through level
translator Q19, turns on the P channel section of U15, which pulls the top motor
lead to VBATT.
Diode D32, capacitor C46, and resistor R77 provide noise control during motor
operation.
15.12 SAFETY DEVICES
A number of safety devices serve to limit the severity of fault-induced problems.

15.12.1 Watchdog Shutoff
Another shutdown path exists for the system supply . When the system supply
begins operation, PWRUP goes high, which begins to charge C49 through R65.
Eventually (0.5 second), C49 will charge up (through U12) and the system
supply will shut off.
The way that the supply is kept running is through the receipt of a
SYNC/ALARM pulse from the processor board. This 50 kHz square wave from
the processor has two purposes: it synchronizes the switching frequency of the
system power supply, and its absence indicates a time-out of the watch dog timer
in the processor section. Transistor Q16 produces a 5-volt pulse for synching the
supply, and the periodic pulsing allows Q15 to keep C49 discharged. If the sync
pulse disappears, the system supply will keep running for a while (based on its
own R/C oscillator), but the rising voltage on C49 will shut the unit down in a
few hundred milliseconds.

16.1 OVERVIEW
This section contains technical and service information for the Nellcor pulse
oximetry module, model MP-205. This product is to be serviced only by
qualified service personnel.
16.2 MODULE DESCRIPTON
The MP-205 is a printed circuit module containing signal processing circuits

to measure oxygen saturation and pulse rate based on signals supplied by
Nellcor oxygen transducers (sensors) connected to the host system and applied
to a patient.
The MP-205 is built around an 80C552 microcontroller, and has been
implemented using low-power design techniques. The module consumes
approximately 0.5 Watts.
The MP-205 incorporates C-Lock ECG synchronization to allow measurements
on patients with low perfusion, or in the presence of patient motion . An ECG
synchronization signal can be brought into the module via a hardwired
connection or a real-time software input. ECG synchronization processing can
be enabled or disabled by software.
The host system supplies analog outputs, parallel input/output, LCD display
drive, patient-isolated power, and alarms.

16.3 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This section provides service personnel with an explanation of the circuit

operation for the oximetry module. The text is supported with a schematic
diagram, see Figure 17-1.
16.4 Interconnections
16.4.1 Host (Monitor) Interconnect
The monitor interface is a 14-pin dual-row header connector, JP5. This

connector includes the power supplied by the host monitor, a serial interface
port, and two hardware control lines. The power required by the oximetry
module is +5 volts (digital) and 5 volts (analog).
Other than supply voltages provided to the module from the power supply, there
are five data signals present at the module connection to the monitor, see
Figure 17-1.
CTS*
clear to send is a logic signal (active low)

transmitted to the module by the monitor to
suspend data transmission from the module.
EXT_RESET*
an asynchronous input (active low) from the

monitor to effect a reset in the oximetry module;
CR3 provides a voltage protection from the poweron reset.
RXD
the receive data line to the oximetry module.
TXD
the transmitted data line from the oximetry module;

U6 provides a buffer for this signal.
C_LOCK
a hardwired timing pulse (active high) transmitted

to the oximetry module, via the host instrument,
from an external ECG monitor. The rising edge of
this pulse is used by the module to satisfy the
software requirements necessary to perform pulse
recognition using ECG as a timing reference.
NOTE: * indicates a LOW active signal.

16.5 Sensor Interconnect
The sensor interface is a 10-pin dual-row connector, JP1, located on the oximetry
module PCB.
16.6 Oxichip Circuit
At the heart of the oximetry module is the U1 Oxichip integrated circuit, which
provides variable LED drive, photodetector amplification, variable gain,
demodulation, filtering, and signal conditioning for the analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) input. The Oxichip circuit generates its own LED modulation
and photodetector demodulation timing. It requires only a single clock at
8-times the desired LED switching frequency. A block diagram of the Oxichip
circuit is shown on Figure 17-2.
In the following discussion, parts that are internal to the Oxichip circuit are noted
with a "U1." prefix.
16-2
16.7 Preamp
The current-to-voltage (I-to-V) converter has a gain of -249 K V/A and a

low-pass corner frequency of 30 kHz. The voltage amplifier has a gain of
-2 V/V and a low-pass corner frequency of 20 kHz. The voltage amplifier is
disconnected from the I-to-V converter during LED switching transients to
prevent transmission of the switching spikes into the programmable gain
amplifier (PGA).
The ambient light canceller (ALC), which consists of U1A3, R6, and C6,
generates a current opposing the DC current coming from the photodetector,
which is caused by ambient light. The ALC switches on during the Red cycle
and has a closed-loop frequency response of 240 Hz. It can cancel up to 36
microamps of DC photocurrent. The response time to a change in LED drive is
less than 2 milliseconds.
The RC filter that removes sensor cable noise is comprised of R1 and C49.
Component CR4 serves as an ESD-protection diode.
16.8 Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA), Demodulator and Demultiplexer
The PGA U1A4 provides a variable gain to accommodate a wide range of signal
strengths. As the PGA amplifies the signal from the preamp by a programmable
gain, the demodulator shifts the frequency down to baseband, while the
demultiplexer separates the IR and Red components of the signal. The PGA has
a programmable gain from 1 to 128 in powers of 2.
The PGA output goes to the peak detectors for status monitoring and to the
demodulator/demultiplexer (U1A5, which is internal to the Oxichip circuit) for
signal processing.
There are two peak detectors: one detects positive peaks (above the 2.2-volts
reference) and one detects negative peaks, or valleys (below the 2.2-volts
reference). This measurement point is referred to as COMPARE2, or C2. The
peak and valley detector circuitry consists of CR3, R26, R41, R42, R43, C42,
and C41.
The response of the peak detectors is nonlinear since the diode CR2 impedance
changes as the voltage on the diode changes. The charging time constant is
limited to no faster than 20.8 microseconds. The decay time constant is 19.8
milliseconds.
16.9 Filters and Level Shifter
The filters and level shifter circuitry are shown in Figure 17-2.
The 10 Hz filters eliminate the high frequency components of the optical signal
and get it ready for conversion to a digital signal, thereby smoothing out the Red
and IR signal from the demultiplexer. The gain of the Red filter circuit is eight,
while the gain of the IR filter circuit is five.
16-3
The Red filter circuit components consist of U1A6-8, R1921, R31, R3437,
C22, C2930, and C3738. The IR filter circuit components consist of
U1A10-12, R2224, R3233, R3840, C2324, C3132, and C39. The IR filter
is identical to the Red filter except for the component values in the last stage.
The level shifter moves the reference for the signal back to ground. The level
shifter (U1A9) selects the desired signal and shifts the signal reference from 2.2
volts reference to ground, or 0 volts. This circuit has a gain of two and an
intentional offset of 80120 millivolts at the output.
16.10 LED Driver
The LED driver circuit generates regulated and programmable currents for
driving the sensor LEDs. The circuit switches the currents in the proper phases
of the LED strobe cycle. The IR and Red currents can be programmed
independently. The LED currents are generated by forcing a
programmable-voltage across R9, then switching the resulting current through
the LEDs.
The LED driver is almost entirely contained within the Oxichip U1 circuit. This
driver also has an over-current detection feature that shuts down all LED drive if
the average current exceeds 44 milliamps. The over-current trip level is set by
passing the LED current through R10 and C9 and comparing the voltage drop to
VDD-0.3 volts. Components CR5 and CR6 serve as ESD-protection diodes. See
Figure 17-2.
16.10.1 References
There are three voltage references on the Oxichip U1 circuit. The 3.125 volt
reference is used for Rcal stimulus and the high resolution A/D converter
reference. It is a low-impedance output. The 2.2 volt buffered reference is used
as the signal ground for the photodetector cathode and is a low-impedance
output. The 2.2 volt reference is used for signal ground in the rest of the circuit.
It is a high-impedance output and is filtered by C3.
16.11 Reset Schmitt Trigger
The power-on reset function is accomplished with a Schmitt Trigger inside the
Oxichip U1 circuit and external components R45 and C44. The Schmitt Trigger
supplies an active high reset to the processor on RST. Diode CR2 protects the
Oxichip circuit from the discharge of C44.
16.12 High Resolution A/D Converter
The oximetry module uses a crystal semiconductor CS5102A 16-bit A/D

converter for the conversion of the filtered optical signals and for RCAL
measurement. This A/D converter is shown in Figure 17-2 as U2.
16.13 Input Filter
The input filter to U2 is through the level shifter circuit, which consists of R18
and C13. The Rcal filter circuit consists of R17, C20 and C21.
16-4
16.14 Power Decoupling
The power supply decoupling circuit consists of R29, R30, C16 through C18,
C28, and C26 and C27.
16.15 Status and Timing
The LED drive, ALC, demodulator, and demultiplexer require timing signals to
operate properly. All of the proper timing sequences are provided by the state
machine, the OXICLK signal, within the Oxichip U1 circuit. The state machine
requires a clock from the CPU at 8 times the desired LED strobe frequency.
16.16 Analog Power Regulation
The oximetry module analog functions are powered by 5 volts DC. Analog
filtering is provided by R15 and R16, and C11 and C12.
16.17 Microcontroller
The oximetry module microcontroller is an 80C552 IC, U4, with 64K ROM, U3,
32K RAM, U7, and an address latch U6. The connection to the Oxichip circuit
gain settings is through the data bus and the control lines CS* and LE.

deviation (1SD), which encompasses 68 percent of the population. All accuracy
specifications are based on testing the subject monitor on healthy adult
volunteers in induced hypoxia studies across the specified range. Adult accuracy
is determined with Oxisensor II D-25 sensors. Neonatal accuracy is
determined with Oxisensor II N-25 sensors. In addition, the neonatal accuracy
specification is adjusted to take into account the theoretical effect of fetal
hemoglobin in neonatal blood on oximetry measurements.
