+5V-M The MAC 5000 is not fully in the 3V age. The Super I/O, floppy diskette drive and thermal printhead all require 5V power. The MAX782 provides this rail via another PWM synchronous switching regulator. Moe controls +5V-M in tandem with +3V-M.
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation +18V The Main Regulator’s 5V switching output also supports generation of a non-regulated 18V rail, which is used to provide power for the acquisition module. By providing the acquisition module with 11.5V linearly regulated power from the +18V rail of the main regulator rather than the main 12V regulator (U15), acquisition is not affected by excessive current draw from the printer motor or external loads on the COM ports (esp.
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation VAna+, VAna- The analog output circuitry is powered by a low current switched 12V rail, provided by the Main Regulator. VAna+ provides the positive supply for the output op-amps. A charge pump voltage inverter is provided to produce an approximate -11V rail for the op-amps.
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation CPU (Stooges) Each of the three Stooges has its own 4 Mhz ceramic resonator for use in generating their respective clocks. The Real Time Clock of the system is provided as a part of the Super I/O controller.

A8 also produces Super I/O addresses that easily map to their standard PC equivalents (simply append 0x00 to a datasheet Super I/O address offset to get a MAC 5000 Super I/O address offset). Video Interface LCD Controller with SDRAM Frame Buffer Continuing problems with LCD controller part obsolescence have made implementation of a controller design in the FPGA attractive.

SDRAM controller to operate reliably at very high speeds (>= 100Mhz). Format pack/unpack logic – The MAC 5000 display architecture is based on the division of pixels into static and dynamic planes. As discussed elsewhere, this technique allows the smooth scrolling of ECG waveforms across the screen while buttons, annotations and other graphics remain stationary.
Page 37
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation pixel. In that scheme, pixel manipulations required the CPU to read the combined pixel, modify either the static or dynamic component, and write the result back to memory. Such read-modify-write operations are time consuming. In contrast, the FPGA implementation of the frame buffer takes advantage of SDRAM’s high speed, large size, individual byte addressability, and 16-bit width, to access both the static (5 bits) and dynamic (3 bits) portions of a pixel separately, and simultaneously.
Page 38
ARM CPU for up to 11μs at a time, but as the ARM CPU does not access the frame buffer often, this is not thought to be an issue. Fill Engine – The MAC 5000 routinely draws rectangular regions on screen for use in dialog boxes and buttons. When drawn by the CPU,...
Page 39
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation The fill engine interface is simple, consisting of four boundary registers to define the fill region, and one register to record the fill value, and planes to be filled. The fill engine can fill any value into any rectangular region of the display in either or both planes simultaneously.
Page 40
Video Waveform Scroller There are numerous ways of achieving a scrolling waveform, none of which is supported by standard LCD controllers. The MAC 5000 provides scrolling through FPGA hardware placed between the LCD controller output and the LCD panel input.
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation The 5.3 format provides a palette of 2^3=8 colors for dynamic objects and (2^5)-1=31 colors for static objects (1 of the colors is transparent, leaving 31 real colors). In practice, to “freeze” dynamic objects in the static plane requires that the 8 dynamic colors be replicated in the static color map, leaving only 31-8=23 new colors available for static objects.
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation Data from the acquisition module is packed into 257 bit NRZ frames. The receive line idle state is high. The first bit of each packet is a zero and serves as the packet start bit. As with a UART, the start bit is discarded. The following 256 bits are received into a 16-word x 16-bit buffer for use by the ATMEL CPU.
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation A special test mode is provided to allow testing of the thermal print head. In test mode, print head power is disabled and the strobe signal is driven continuously. This allows individual print dots to be driven with a small test current via a current source (Q107, R319, Z100) enabled by a level shifter (Q106, R318) driven from a ATMEL GPIO line.
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation The FPGA PWM output signals contain a substantial amount of noise from +3V-M supply fluctuations. To reduce noise and establish an accurate reference level, the PWM signals are buffered by CMOS inverters (U18) that are powered from REF2V5. Although the CMOS inverters are powered by 2.5 Volts but are driven by 3.3 Volt logic, no problem exists as this is allowed with VHC logic.
The SD card interface is provided to support software update and external data storage application. The external storage application using SD card is not enabled in the MAC 5000 with the -006 CPU board. The socket provides card detection and write protect status signal.
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation VGA LCD/CRT Interface An internal backlit LCD is home for the MAC 5000’s graphical interface. In addition, external VGA monitors are supported for stress applications. Control for a standard VGA format (640 x 480 pixels) LC display is provided by the FPGA.
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation Acquisition Module Transceiver / Power Switch MAC 5000 acquires ECG data with a new generation CAM acquisition module. The FPGA provides the interface logic. Clocks and commands are transmitted to the acquisition module on a balanced RS485 line.
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation open drain output of the comparator is used to remove the gate drive from Q103 which will in turn switch off the com port power. The function of the integrator is two fold. First it allows high surge currents to exist for a short time.
R181 limits the charging current to a safe level. PS2 Keyboard Port External card / bar code readers may be connected to the MAC 5000 via a PS-2 compatible keyboard port. A small amount of 5V power is available at the connector to power the external device. Power faults are detectable.
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation processor in the wrong spot on the board and a single pile of paperwork supports all of the MAC 5000’s 68HC05 production volume. More detailed information may be found in the source code. Startup Self Identification As each controller is released from reset, it executes a common “WhoAmI”...
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation Unlike previous keyboard encoder designs, Shemp does not provide dedicated scan hardware for the shift and / or option keys. These keys are now located in the scan matrix. Careful placement of keys in the scan matrix allows simultaneous depression of the shift, option and other keys without interference.
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation Similarly, if the servo error variable saturates at “off” for more than a predetermined time, it is assumed that the someone is pulling on the paper with a force that exceeds the paper drive system torque, and as a result paper speed has been pulled out of regulation.
Page 54
Battery and system power management is entirely Moe’s responsibility. An off-the-shelf 28V 1A universal input power supply provides operating/ charging power for the MAC 5000. Located in the bottom of the chassis, the power supply is disconnected from the CPU board when the lid is open.
Page 55
DC power supply voltage is above approximately 21V. Battery Pack The MAC 5000 uses a 15-cell nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack with integral thermal sensor for charge termination detection and self- resetting thermal fuse for short circuit protection. Charge current and normal system operating power are obtained from the AC power supply.
Page 56
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation Absurdly low voltage readings from the battery temperature sensor indicate an open thermistor. This is used as an indication that no battery pack is present. The sole purpose for resistor R153 is to protect Moe’s ADC (AN3) pin in the case where the temperature signal TBATTERY becomes inadvertently tied to VBATT+.
Page 57
Equipment Overview: Theory of Operation The charge LED is contained in the power supply compartment and is disconnected from the CPU board when the cover is open. When the cover is closed electrical connections are re-established through the self- aligning connector. As the connections are made in random order, there is a possibility that the VPS and XChargeLED drive lines can connect before the power supply ground.
