I/O Model Reference

165

io-object-name

Specifies a name for the I/O object, in the ANSI C format for variable
identifiers.

initial-output-level

A constant expression, in ANSI C format for initializers, used to set the state
of the output pin of the I/O object at initialization. The initial state is limited

to 0 or 1. The default is 0.

Usage

unsigned

count

;

unsigned long

output-frequency

,

[

io_out(

(There is no return value for the function.)

Example

IO_0 output infrared_pattern ioIrOut;

unsigned long timing [5]={395,395,783,783,395};
unsigned long frequency = 62;

when (...) {
io_out(ioIrOut, frequency, timing, 5);
}

Oneshot Output

The oneshot I/O model produces output pulses of a specified period or duty cycle.
That is, for Series 3100 devices, it can produce a single output pulse whose

duration is a function of the output value and the selected clock value, calculated

as follows:

duration (ns) = output_value * 2000 * 2^(clock) / input_clock (MHz)
where clock ranges from 0..7

For Series 5000 devices, it can produce a single output pulse whose duration is a
function of the output value and the selected clock value, calculated as follows:

duration (ns) = output_value * 2000 * 2^(value) / 10 MHz
where value ranges from 0..15

You can use this I/O model to implement digital-to-analog (D/A) converters or to

control any device with a pulsewidth modulated input.

This model applies to Series 3100 Neuron Chips and Smart Transceivers, and to

Series 5000 Neuron Processors and Smart Transceivers.

Hardware Considerations

A timer/counter can be configured to generate a single pulse of programmable
duration. The asserted state can be either logic high or logic low. Retriggering
