This section discusses use of the Power-up Defaults Menu to configure power-ondefault settings, and the Diagnostic Mode to obtain service-related informationabout the monitor.
4.2 POWER-UP DEFAULTS MENU
The purpose of the Power-up Defaults Menu (Table 4-1) is to allow theauthorized user to create a “power-up default” for each setting in theNPB-4000/C. Power-up defaults are the settings in effect each time theNPB-4000/C is powered on. Once the Power-up Defaults Menu is entered,physiological monitoring is terminated. The screen layouts do not display anyinformation associated with normal monitoring operation.
Use the following procedure to configure the power-up default settings for theNPB-4000/C monitor:
1. Set NPB-4000/C to normal monitoring mode.
2. Adjust each accessible setting on monitor as desired.
Note: Use the techniques described in the operator’s manual. Such settingsinclude alarm limits, choice of display type for the graphic frames, andECG lead select.
3. Use knob to invoke Set-up Menu (choose the screwdriver icon found alongthe bottom of the display).
4. Select menu item “Enter Power-Up Defaults Menu”.
Note: Once selected, a pop-up box will appear with the text “Enter 3-DigitPasscode”. Use the knob to enter the passcode, 2 1 5. This passcode isset at the factory and may not be changed.

The first item in the pop-up will read “Make nochange”; the second item in the pop-up will read “Reset to zero”. Exiting thescreen 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, involts. Some of the channels are for AC-coupled signals (such as ECG input), sothe numbers on the screen will be constantly changing when an input signal ispresent. These AC-coupled values are shown to give an indication as to whetherbasic functionality of the channel is present, but no significance can be derivedfrom the values of the numbers displayed. However, others of the A/D channelsread 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 bedisplayed and updated at the rate of about once per second. Presence of thecorrect SpO2 message indicates that, at a basic level, communication betweenthe SpO2 module and the main monitor processor is working correctly. None ofthe displayed values may be changed or reset in this screen.
When in the System A/D screen, the “Return” item is always highlighted; a pressof the knob will return the user to the Diagnostic Menu. Rotating the knob whilein the System A/D screen will have no effect . The A/D channel designators areshown in Table 4-2.

4.3.4 NIPB Test
An NIBP Test screen is provided to facilitate troubleshooting problems andperforming verification testing for the NIBP subsystem. Typically, when thesetests are performed, the pneumatic system is connected to an external pressure-reading device and a closed reference volume. The NIBP Test screen provides areal-time numeric display of the pressure in the pneumatic system, means forcontrolling the pump and valves, and a display indicating whether theproportional and safety valves are open or closed.
Warning: A blood pressure cuff, connected to the monitor, should never beapplied to a human subject while the monitor is in Diagnostic Mode, asinjury could result.
The NIBP Test screen elements are described below:
• Pressure Display: The real-time value of the system pneumatic pressure isdisplayed in mmHg. The value is updated at the rate of approximately twotimes per second.
• Proportional Valve Display: The display indicates whether the proportionalvalve is open or closed.
• Safety Valve Display: The display indicates whether the safety valve isopen or closed.
• Activate pump: For as long as the NIBP Start/Stop switch is pressed, thepump will run. If system pressure reaches the hardware over-pressureprotection point (280 to 330 mmHg), the safety valve will open and thepump will be disabled, until the pressure falls below the safety threshold.
• Deflate: For as long as the Alarm Silence switch is pressed, the proportionalvalve 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 ispressed, the safety valve and proportional valve open to maximum andremain so for as long as the switch is pressed.
• Offset Adjust: A momentary press of the Contrast Adjust switch willinvoke the “zero calibration” routine that is performed immediately prior toeach blood pressure measurement. This routine looks at the pressure in thesystem, and if the pressure is non-zero, an offset is applied which causes thesystem pressure to be displayed as “zero”.
• When in the NIBP Test screen, the “Return” item is always highlighted; apress of the knob will return the user to the Diagnostic Menu. Rotating theknob 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 andpediatric patients. The functions performed by the system include monitoringpatient ECG, heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressures, blood oxygensaturation, and temperature.
In addition to monitoring and displaying the status of these physiologicalparameters, the instrument performs various microprocessor-programmedanalytical functions, such as:
• Creating both visual and audible alarm signals when settable limits areviolated;
• Creating and displaying warning messages when conditions are detectedthat 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 trendwaveforms or tabular data.
The monitor is essentially a battery-powered instrument. An internal chargingunit 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” voltagesource available from the batteries.
10.2 SYSTEM BLOCK DIAGRAM
The NPB-4000/C patient monitor functions are represented graphically in theSystem Block Diagram, Figure 10-1.
Each section of the System Block Diagram is described briefly in the text thatfollows the illustration. This is followed by more detailed descriptions of thetheory of operation of each block.
Section 10: Introduction and System Description
10-2
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 informationto the processor. The respiration detection is obtained from two of the threeelectrodes of the ECG connections.
Galvanic isolation of these circuits from the remainder of the monitor isaccomplished by utilizing an isolated power supply and by incorporatingopto-isolators between the Front End outputs and inputs to the microprocessorcomputation 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. Pressuredata 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 themonitor and charging the battery from either an AC source of 100 to 240 voltsAC at 50 to 60 Hz or a 10 to 16 volt DC input. This section also contains thebattery, battery monitoring circuitry, and battery charging circuitry. The batteryprovides the operating power for the monitor.
Power system outputs of ±12 volts DC, +5 volts DC, and -24 volts DC aredeveloped for use throughout the non-isolated portions of the monitor.
Section 10: Introduction and System Description
10-3
10.2.4 µP, Memory, and Control
The microprocessor (µP), Memory, and Control section contains the system CPUand all digital support circuitry. The latter includes the RAM, nonvolatilememory, and real-time clock. This section also contains the display logic,keypad (switch) interface logic, RS-232 I/O control, defibrillator synchronizationcontrol, and printer logic.
10.2.5 Display
The display is a cold-cathode, backlighted, fluorescent LCD unit. The pixelresolution of 0.23 mm provides a 640x480 line display. The NPB-4000 displayis presented in black and white mode only (no gray scale). The NPB-4000Cdisplay is presented in color.
10.2.6 Keypad (Switches) and Knob
The keypad circuit contains five push-switch membrane switches and two greenLEDs. The LEDs are driven by the power supply system and indicate the sourceof externally applied power mains (AC or DC), the charging of the batteries, andthe condition of the source cable in-line fuses. Signals from the LEDs arereturned to the microcomputer for processing and control as required.
The power switch, connected directly to the supply, toggles the power betweenStandby and On modes. When in Standby, the display is blank, and nomonitoring is performed. However, the batteries are charging if either an AC orDC power source is connected to the rear panel.
The alarm silencing switch is connected directly to the processor and to thesystem power supply. Pressing this switch turns off the battery fuse alarm in thesystem power supply. Response of the processor depends upon the action inpressing this switch. If momentarily pressed (less than 2 seconds), alarms aresilenced temporarily for a preset interval determined by the menu selection. Ifheld pressed for 2 seconds or more, the Alarm Suspend condition is initiated.
The NIBP switch output is connected to the processor. Response of theprocessor depends upon the state of NIBP operation at the time and the action inpressing this switch. If momentarily pressed (less than 2 seconds), a single NIBPmeasurement is obtained. If pressed for 2 seconds or more, the processorinitiates a STAT monitoring sequence. Pressing the NIBP switch at any time apressure measurement is in effect will cause the processor to terminate themeasurement and to deflate the cuff.
NPB-4000. The display Contrast switch, operates in conjunction with theNellcor 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.

NPB-4000C. Pressing the Contrast switch changes the background color fromwhite to black or black to white.
Operation of the Volume switch accomplishes similar functions for the volumeof the heart rate audible tone as the display contrast control switch does for thedisplay. Pressing this switch enables the knob to vary the tone volume. Thesame timing consideration of 3 seconds is provided, in which to adjust the tonevolume or to terminate the action.
10.2.7 Nellcor Knob
This is a rotating, push-switch knob. The associated knob circuitry generates apulse when pressed and generates a digitally encoded pair of quadrature signalswhose relative magnitudes and polarities represent the angular position of theknob. These outputs are connected to the processor where they are interpreted asrequired for the functions involved. Successive angular positions determine thedirection of knob rotation.
In addition to the functions performed when in conjunction with the keypadswitches as described above, the Knob operates in conjunction with the displayto 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 computersystems or equipment. The driver for this “port” is a Universal AsynchronousReceive-Transmit (UART) integrated circuit that interfaces this port with themicroprocessor. The baud rate for this serial transmission function isprogrammable from 1200 baud to 38.4 kilobaud.
One pin (9) of RS-232 connector is reserved for a Nurse Call signal. The Nursecall 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 theconnection of a cable can be detected by the processor. When a connection isdetected, the processor software initiates the generation by hardware of aTTL-compatible pulse capable of driving 1 TTL load over a three-meter cablewith less than 200 pF capacitance.
The defib pulse is triggered by the detection of the R-wave in the QRS sequenceof the ECG waveform complex. The pulse signal is active for 100±10milliseconds.
10.2.10 Speaker
The speaker is capable of providing 73 dBA of volume at a distance of one meterduring alarm conditions. The processor drives the speaker in different patternsas specified for the different alarm priorities and conditions. Refer to theoperator’s manual for descriptions of alarm responses.
Section 10: Introduction and System Description
10-5
10.2.11 Recorder
The optional recorder (printer) module is installed in the right panel of themonitor. Refer to the NPB-4000/C monitor operator’s manual for printingprocedures. It provides users with the capability to obtain hard-copy records ofselected vital signs information. Basic control of the recorder is implemented bytwo push-switch controls on the recorder front panel. One of these is used toobtain continuous recordings of the real-time waveforms displayed in the top twographic frames. Along with the waveforms, the recorder prints the values of thevital signs being displayed. The printing continues until the user presses eitherrecorder switch a second time.
The other control switch initiates a printout for 20 seconds of the sameinformation recorded by the continuous control.
If scrolling is enabled in a display frame containing trend data when thecontinuous recording switch is operated, then the trend record for that vital signis printed. If the snapshot recording switch is operated, then only the trend dataon the display is printed.
The recorder may be programmed via the monitor menu display to print asnapshot recording when an alarm condition occurs.
Printing is accomplished on 50-mm wide thermal paper at printer speedsprogrammable up to 50 mm/sec.
10.3 ECG PROCESSING
The technique used in ECG senses the varying potential difference between twopoints at the skin surface which respond to the chemical actions of the muscularactivity of the heart.
Three electrodes are attached to the patient’s right arm (RA), left arm (LA) andleft leg (LL). The varying potentials at these locations are cable-connected tothe ECG circuit inputs where they are conditioned, and the difference ofpotential between two selected leads is digitized before transmitting throughopto-isolators to the processor. The processor-installed algorithms operate onthe signals to develop drivers for the graphic display and to compute the heartrate in beats per minute (bpm).
In addition to the acquisition of the QRS waveform complex, the ECG input andsubsequent signal processing computing circuitry perform a number of otherfunctions:
• They detect a “lead-off” condition if one of the electrode connections isdisrupted.
• They detect the presence of pacemaker signals within the QRS waveformcomplex 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
Section 10: Introduction and System Description
10-6
The patient’s respiration is detected by using two of the three leads of the ECGelectrodes and cable. A low-level excitation signal is applied to these leads, andthe variation of the thoracic impedance caused by the breathing is sensed andprocessed for display and measurement.
10.5 NIBP PROCESSING
The NIBP processing uses an oscillometric technique to provide neededmeasurements at selected intervals. This technique uses an inflatablesphygmomanometer cuff similar to those used by clinicians in routinemeasurements.
A motorized pump inflates the cuff to approximately 180 mmHg initially, atwhich point the pressure effectively stops the flow of blood. Then, undermonitor control, the pressure in the cuff is gradually reduced, while a pressuretransducer detects the air pressure and transmits the parameter signal to theNIBP input circuitry.
As the pressure is reduced, blood flows in the previously occluded artery, andchanges the measurements made by the transducer. The point at whichoscillation increases sharply is defined as systolic pressure . As the cuffcontinues to deflate, oscillation amplitude increases to a maximum, and thendecreases. The peak oscillation amplitude is defined as the mean arterialpressure. The point at which the system detects a rapid decrease in oscillation isdefined as the diastolic pressure.
10.6 SPO2 PROCESSING
Measurement of oxygen saturation in the blood uses a specrophotometrytechnique. It is based on the facts that oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobindiffer in the their absorption of red and infrared light, and that the volume ofarterial blood in tissue changes during the pulse.
Using these facts, a pulse oximeter passes red and infrared light into an arteriolarbed and measures changes in light absorption during the pulsatile cycle. Thelight sources are red and infrared light emitting diodes (LEDs), while thedetection is accomplished by a photodiode.
To identify the oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin, the monitor uses thepulsatile nature of arterial flow. During systole, a new pulse of arterial bloodenters the vascular bed, and both blood volume and light absorption increase.During diastole, blood volume and light absorption reach their lowest point. Themeasurement is based upon the difference between maximum and minimumabsorption, focusing on the pulsatile arterial blood.
In addition to the oximetry function, the input signals may be used to calculateheart rate.
10.7 TEMPERATURE PROCESSING
Measurement of patient temperature is accomplished by processing the signalfrom a probe containing a resistor whose impedance is temperature dependent.The class of such components is called thermistor.
Section 10: Introduction and System Description
10-7
The NPB-4000/C patient monitor is designed to accept the signals fromelectrically isolated Series 400 probes manufactured by Yellow SpringsIncorporated. Interchangeable probes in this series may be used for esophageal,rectal, skin or surface, or airway temperature measurement. Probes are furnishedwith 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.

As shown, the selected block is theisolated Front End circuitry. This block contains the interfaces with the patientconnections at the input, and delivers an isolated output to the microprocessorand controller. An expanded block diagram for this circuitry is shown inFigure 11-2.

Figure 11-2: Isolated Front End Block Diagram
The NPB-4000/C Front End module is a part of the Main Board. It provides anisolation barrier between a patient’s body and electrical potentials on the rest ofthe 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: interfacecircuit, ECG, respiration, temperature, controls, power supply, isolation, andA/D converter on the non-isolated side. It also carries an SpO2 module whichuses Front End for isolation and power supply.
• The ECG channel has 3-lead capability and a gain of 285. It provides twolevels 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 of15 to 45˚C using YS400 series probes.
• The respiration channel incorporates the standard impedance pneumographymethod of injecting 100 kHz current of 42 micro Amps into a patientthrough the RA and LA leads and measuring voltage modulated byrespiration on the same leads. Respiration can be measured in the range of200 to 2000 ohms of a body impedance with the maximum modulation of 10ohms.
Section 11: Isolated Front End Functions -- Theory of Operation
11-3
• Isolation is provided by optocouplers. A total of four optocouplers are usedfor digital signals and a linear optocoupler with a multiplexer is used for allanalog 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-powerto the isolated side.
• An A/D converter on the non-isolated side digitizes signals coming from thelinear optocoupler line as well as three signals from the NIBP circuit andother analog signals, such as samples of power supply voltages on the non-isolated part.
An expanded block diagram of the Front End is presented in the Figure 11-3.

11.3 INTERFACE CIRCUIT
Figure 11-4: Interface Circuit Block Diagram
The interface circuit shown in the highlighted portion of the expanded blockdiagram, provides physical connection between patient connectors on the unitand preamplifier and other signal conditioning circuitry of the isolated FrontEnd. It also incorporates ESD, defibrillator, and electrosurgery voltagesuppression.
The instrument incorporates the standard ECG 3-lead system (I, II, III). Theabbreviations 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. TheECG signals through a patient cable are fed to a panel connector and through thepanel harness to the board connector J11. All leads are protected by voltagesuppressers. Suppressers D27, D25, and D24 are intended to clampdifferentially applied defibrillation and voltages to around 160 volts, with thecurrent limited to approximately 2.5Amps by two 1 kilo-ohm, 1W resistorsinstalled in a standard ECG cable. The same suppressers will clamp ESDvoltages close to 80 volts, relative to isolated ground. The R-C networks R278,C162, R279, C164, R254, C150; R261, C157, R247, C148, R246, and C146provide further voltage and current limiting to the levels safe for inputs of themultiplexers having their own over-voltage protection of ±0.5 volts over supplyvoltages. The same R-C networks will provide for ESU and RFI attenuation andrejection of 100 kHz respiration signal in the ECG channel.
There are six other nets permanently connected to RA and LA leads. These areused for respiratory measurements. Two of them are connected to a highfrequency source U81, two others to the inputs of signal followers U75C, and thelast 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 thecommon lead is connected to the reference through ESD voltage suppresser D23.Capacitors C131 and C136 are used to filter out RFI signals.
Section 11: Isolated Front End Functions -- Theory of Operation
11-5
The SpO2 sensor signal is brought through a panel connector and a separatepanel cable to the board connectors J101 and J100. The Front End also has anSpO2 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 blockdiagram, the ECG circuitry consists of the lead selection, preamplifier, amplifierand 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 ofthe leads are selected by the multiplexer U79 and connected to the inputs of theinstrumentation amplifier U80 configured to have a gain of four. A commonmode signal at the amplifier input is measured by the amplifier U75B, and usedto drive the patient body via the amplifier U75A, resistor R291, and multiplexerU78 so that the common mode signal on the body and the output of thepreamplifier would be eliminated. The amplifier U75B is also used for drivingthe shield with the common mode signal to eliminate capacitance loading.
The output of the drive amplifier U75A is used for leads-off detection. Toimplement this function, input leads of the differential amplifier are connected tothe VDD supply through 20 megohm resistors R252 and R266. If any of thepatient leads become disconnected from the body, the output of the driveamplifier U75A will go to a rail. A window comparator U77D is used to detectthis event by producing a positive going signal sent to the A/D converter.
Section 11: Isolated Front End Functions -- Theory of Operation
11-6
The preamplifier is followed by a 0.05 Hz high-pass filter made of capacitorC147 and resistors R248 and R249. The corner frequency can be changed bysoftware to 0.5 Hz, set by resistors R238 and R250 and switch U63B. If acommon mode charge on the capacitor C147 will offset the baseline to the pointwhere ESG signal clipping is detected, it can be quickly removed under softwarecontrol through the analog switch U63C and limiting resistor R239. The ECGcircuit is completed by an amplifier U73B set for gain of 41 and a two-poleChebychev low-pass active filter, U74C, with the cutoff frequency of 50 Hz andthe gain of 1.75. The U74C has a +2.5 volts offset determined by resistors R225and R236 to convert bipolar signals to unipolar format, as required by linearoptocoupler. 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 filterwith 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-wavefollowing R-wave. The signal is rectified by the full-wave rectifier made ofamplifiers U71B and U71C, and dual-diode D13. This signal is used as oneinput to the comparator U74D. Sample-and-hold circuit consists of amplifierU71D, diode D17, capacitor C137, and discharge resistors R219 and R229. Theresistors ratio sets the level of the comparator which goes to the positive railwhen the next R-wave signal reaches the preset level of the previous R-wavesignal held in the capacitor. The comparator signal turns on the monostablemultivibrator U64A, which generates a 130-millisecond pulse. The pulse is sentto 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 whenpacer is detected. This will set off the window comparator built aroundamplifier U74B and turn on monostable U64B to create an 8-millisecond pulsesent to the analog multiplexer via divider R179, R185.

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 signalsent to a body. The AC signal is 100 kHz, 4 volts peak square-wavecomplementary signals are produced by oscillator U81. These signals, viaresistors R288 and R271, generate 42 microamps p-p current which is injected ina body through patient leads RA and LA. The AC voltage drop on these leads isrespiration 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 synchronousdetector.
The DC component of the filtered signal is removed by 0.1 Hz high-pass filterC134, C172, R205, and R204, and the remaining low frequency respirationsignal is fed for further amplification. The capacitors C134 and C172 can bequickly discharged through U63D switch under software control in case ofsignificant baseline drift. Amplifier U72B has a gain of 667 and creates +2.5volts offset via resistors R215 and R216 to convert bipolar signals to unipolarformat. Complete swing of the output is about 1.5 volts p-p, and the signal is fedto the linear optocoupler multiplexer.
11.6 TEMPERATURE CIRCUIT
The temperature is measured in the body range of 15 to 45˚C using YellowSpring series 400 thermistor thermometers. Thermistor with the resistance rangeof 3539 to 984.2 ohms is connected as a feedback of amplifier U72A. Thereference signal of 1.235 volts is supplied by voltage reference U70 throughprecision resistor R217. The temperature, therefore, is measured using outputratios. Other ratios have to be arrived at by using Yellow Spring thermistorvalue chart. Resistors R203, R218 and capacitor C130 comprise a low passfilter.

11.7 OPTOCOUPLERS
Figure 11-7: Optocouplers Block Diagram
See Figure 11-7. The optical couplers that isolate the Front End signals from thenon-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 wellas voltage levels of binary signals PM( pacemaker), QRS (R-wave), andLOFF(leads off) are fed to the inputs of analog multiplexer U67 and to the linearoptocoupler U57. The optocoupler has an LED and two matched sensingphotodiodes and works in a servo mode with two operational amplifiers, U60and U51. Input current set by multiplexer output and resistor R166 is comparedby U60 with the current of input photodiode. The LED is controlled by U60until two currents are equal. The current of the output diode mirrors the inputdiode’s current, thus producing an image of the multiplexer voltage at the outputof U57. Operational amplifiers maintain very close to zero impedance at diodeoutputs, which provides for very linear diode currents and a very linear andstable 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 isset for 50 kHz operation. Inverter U61 provides inversion of optocouplersignals.
Section 11: Isolated Front End Functions -- Theory of Operation
11-9
11.8 CONTROLS
Figure 11-8: Controls Block Diagram
See Figure 11-8. The isolated control signals are developed and applied in thehighlighted blocks as shown in the block diagram.
Front end operations are controlled by serial signals on ADCTX line clocked bysignals on ADCCLK line. These serial signals from the Main Board CPU arefed to the Front End through opto-isolators U55 and U56 with pull-ups R182 andR173. Signals inverted by U61 go to eight-bit Serial-in/Parallel-out ShiftRegister U66. The beginning of a stream sets up one-shot retriggerablemultivibrator U62A for the duration of 130 microseconds. The stream is 16 bitslong, and each pulse retriggers the one shot. At the end of the stream, and after a130 microseconds time-out, the parallel set of bits representing the last eight bitsin 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 twobits, 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-passfilter, and ECGRES controls baseline reset.
The bit assignment is as follows(MSB first):
Bit 9 ParityBit 10 ECGRESBit 11 0.5HzBit 12 LSEL2Bit 13 LSEL1Bit 14 MuxCBit 15 MuxBBit 16 MuxA
Section 11: Isolated Front End Functions -- Theory of Operation
11-10
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 turnon switch U63A. The switch will drive the output of U60 amplifier beyond thenormal range of data signals and will set A/D output at all ones, which will beinterpreted as an error.
Lead Select bits 12 and 13 select lead and test configurations as follows:

1 1 1 AGN
11.9 A/D CONVERTER
A/D converter U53 on the non-isolated side is a 12-bit, 100 kHz sampling ratedevice with serial control and 14 analog inputs (3 are internal and 11 areexternal). 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. Eachcontrol burst is 16 bits long. The first eight-bit encode control information forthe converter (MSB first) is: four-bit analog channel address (D7-D4), two-bitdata length select (D3-D2), output format MSB or LSB first encode (D1) andunipolar or bipolar output select (D0). The last eight bits are ignored (they areused, though, to control operations of the isolated part).
When selected, the converter enables DATA INPUT and the I/O CLOCK andremoves DATA OUT from the high impedance state. The I/O CLOCK shifts outdata from the previous conversion and clocks in control bits for the currentconversion. On the fourth falling edge of the I/O CLOCK the next channelselection is complete and the converter goes into the sampling mode. The fallingedge of the 16th I/O CLOCK puts data in hold, takes EOC low and begins thecurrent conversion which lasts for 10 millisecond. If the selected channel isISOAD the data comes from a channel of multiplexer U67, selected duringprevious serial burst. At least 80 microseconds delay is required between serial

bursts. This will provide enough time out for multiplexer control data to belatched. The multiplexer has at least four clock cycles of I/O CLOCK to settlebefore 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 U83and U68 provide +5 volts and -5 volts for analog circuitry and regulator U69provides +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 CPUand 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 powersupply and isolation. The SpO2 input signal through D-type panel connector andFront End connector J101 is fed to the receptacle J100; power, control, andoutput signals go to the receptacle J10. Two output signals are asynchronous:serial link RX and TX. Serial TX controls optocoupler U59, and RX iscontrolled by optocoupler U58. Control signal is ECG_SYNC which comesfrom the R-wave detector.
11.12 ISOLATION
The isolation barrier is provided by isolation transformer T1, linear optocouplerU57, and digital optocouplers U59, U58, U55, and U56. Spark gap SG1 is usedto protect isolation components against over-voltage exceeding their limits.

The major blocks involved from the cuff to the microprocessor are shown in thesimplified block of the NIBP see Figure 12-2. The pump and motor, mounted onthe power system assembly, are driven by a pulse-width-modulated (PWM)signal from the digital hardware section of the main board assembly. That signalis gated by an enabling signal originating in the microprocessor of the section ofthe main board. The pumped air is ducted through tubing and valves mounted onthe main board and made available at the Front End connection to the cuff.
Section 12: NIBP - Theory of Operation
12-2
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 initiatedby commands responding to pressing the NIBP Start/Stop switch on the frontpanel. The cuff is inflated at a rate controlled by the pump excitation current toa pressure above systolic, at which level the artery is effectively occluded. Then,as the cuff pressure is reduced at constant rate, the pressure transducers provideanalog signals to the digital hardware where they are digitized and processed toobtain systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure values, as well as the beatrate.
The technique for translating the pressure signals into the required measurementsmakes use of the action of the oscillatory characteristic of the returning arterialpressure. The phenomenon is illustrated in the diagram below.
See Figure 12-3. Systolic pressure is defined as the point at which oscillationincreases sharply. As the cuff deflates, oscillation amplitude increases to amaximum, and then decreases. The point of peak oscillation amplitude is themean arterial pressure. The point at which oscillations cease is defined as thediastolic pressure

12.2 THE PNEUMATIC ASSEMBLY
The pneumatic assembly, consisting of the pump, two controlling valves, andtubing to connect the various pneumatic components together are illustrated inthe schematic diagram that follows.
See Figure 12-4. The pump output is connected to the cuff and to two valves: atwo-way proportional control valve (V2) and a three-way valve (V1), as well asto two pressure transducers. Operation of the valves and of the pump control aredefined 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 ofthe pneumatic system encompassing the cuff and pump are open to theatmosphere, thus preventing the cuff from being pressurized. In the V1energized position, the cuff and pump are connected to V2 and the pressuretransducers. 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 NIBPmeasurement, at a controlled deflation rate.
12.3 NIBP HARDWARE
See Figure 12-5. The NIBP analog control hardware is highlighted in the blockdiagram. It includes the Front End NIBP circuitry, as well as the pressuretransducers and pump. Refer to the main PCB schematic drawing, Sheet 2,Figure 17-6, in connection with the circuit operation descriptions.

12.3.1 Pressure Transducers
Pressure transducers PS1 and PS2 convert pneumatic pressure levels to voltagesin the range from 0.33 volts at 0 mmHg to 4 volts at 300 mmHg. TransducerPS1 is used to sense the main cuff pressure. Transducer PS2 is used as a backupcuff pressure sensor, from which over-pressure warning signals are obtained.Both transducers outputs are smoothed to remove the effects of pumpingpulsation. The output of PS1 is identified as signal NIBPPRSR1, while that ofPS2 is NIBPPRSR2.
12.3.2 Filtering the Oscillatory Signal
Amplifiers U16-1 and U16-14, in combination with the lumped resistance andcapacitance values of the passive components, form a band pass filter thatseparates and amplifies the oscillatory signals OSC from the deflating cufftransducer 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, isregulated in U15 when that component is enabled by the NPANPWR analogpower On/Off signal input to U10-4. The regulator accepts a battery voltage of 6to 8 volts and delivers regulated +5 volts to power the pressure transducers andbiasing circuitry for the operational amplifiers.
12.3.4 Over-Pressure Detector
Pump and valve drivers are controlled by the NPPVEN pump and valve enablesignal that is generated in U16-7 level-detector amplifier circuit. One input tothat amplifier is the NIBPRSR2 signal from transducer P2. The other is a valuedetermined by voltage divider R68 and R64, and feedback resistor R61.
The pump and valve drivers are enabled only when cuff pressure is belownominal 330 mmHg for adult mode, and below 165 mmHg for neonatalmeasurements.
12.3.5 Pump and Valve Drivers
Three-way valve V1 coil is powered by VPS that is switched in series with thecoil through n-channel MOSFET Q10-6. Switching action of Q10-6 iscontrolled by the input signal NP3WYV, that is gated by the enabling signalNPPVEN at switch U23. The VPS signal is developed from VBATTP throughQ11-6 that is also controlled by NPVEN gating transistor Q6. Diode D5 acts tosuppress voltage spikes. Resistor R101 ensures that Q10-6 will be OFF in caseof 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 n-channel MOSFET Q10-7 in series with the coil. Q10-7 is controlled by inputsignal NIBPCNTLVLV. Pulse width modulation (PWM) of a five-volt level isused to operate the control valve. No-voltage results in a fully closed valve. Asthe duty cycle of the PWM is varied from 0 to 100 percent, the valve changessmoothly from fully closed to fully open. Repetition rate for the PWM is at least9 kHz. Diode D4 suppresses voltage spikes, and resistor R100 assures thatQ10-7 will be OFF if the input line should open.

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 inpower supply schematic drawing, Figure 17-3and Figure 17-4.
The power supply mechanical assembly holds the blood pressure pump andshield. The power supply contains circuitry that allows logic level control of thepump power from the processor board. For single-point fault protection, thepump requires two signals (PUMPON and PVENB to activate the pump.PUMPON (when high) turns on FET Q18 that pulls the bottom lead of the motorto ground. The PVENB signal through level translator Q19, turns on FET Q17that pulls the top motor lead to VBATT.
When no voltage is present at Q18, the pump is fully off. As the duty cycleincreases from 0 to 100 percent, the pump power changes smoothly from fullOFF to fully ON. This control technique minimizes overshoot of the targetedpressure. Diode D32 suppresses voltage spikes, while R78 ensures that Q18 willbe OFF if the line opens. Resistor R77 and capacitor C46 suppress motor brushnoise.
12.3.7 Digital Signal Processing and Information Display
NPB-4000/C software, resident in the microprocessor controller and memoryperipherals, include the algorithms needed to process the digitized outputs of thedigital hardware just described. It also includes the system software thatresponds to the commands for desired modes of NIBP measurements, display ofNIBP 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 themicroprocessor 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. Theinternal peripherals are all controlled by on-board programmable registers. Inorder to save power, this design has a Vcc = 3.3 volts.
The data from the Front End (ECG, temp, resp) is multiplexed through a linearopto isolator to a 12-bit A/D converter, which is connected to the on-boardsynchronous serial port. The synchronous serial port is controlled by theon-board DMA unit.
The LCD display is a 640x480 black and white display that is connected to anS-MOS 1351FLB controller chip. This chip interfaces via the data bus to the386EX. It has two 32kx8 SRAMs for data storage. The backlight is controlledby enabling +12 volts to the inverter board. The contrast for the LCD iscontrolled from the onboard -24 volts.
The main executable memory is a 256Kx16 flash memory which takes the upper512k bytes of address space. This flash contains the boot program and theexecutable program for controlling the whole unit.
A 512-kbyte DRAM is located in lower memory starting at location 0 and is usedfor data storage and manipulation. The DRAM also has the ability to executecode when programming the flash with a new program from the external RS-232port.
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 thereal-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 fromsoftware via a duart (dual serial port chip). These ports are the same as the comports used on a PC and the duart is programmable via software.
Section 13: Microprocessor Computer and Control –Theory of Operation
13-2
The SpO2 unit (MP-205) is connected to an asynchronous serial port via opto-isolators.
The push switches and rotating knob interface to the 386EX via the FPGAcircuit. They are polled by the software at a 200-Hz rate.
The speaker is connected to an amplifier circuit, that is connected to a digitalpotentiometer. The programmable frequency is generated in the FPGA andconnects to this programmable digital pot. The software controls the volume byprogramming this digital pot.
The defib sync pulse is bit-programmed via software and goes to the outsideworld via a digital driver.
The NIBP circuit is controlled by various port bits and control circuits in theASIC.
13.2 POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
Figure 13-1: Power Supply Interface
See Figure 13-1. The power supply system provides the power for the mainboard and all of the circuitry in the system. It also contains control circuits forturning on and off the power, as well as supplying the battery backup for thesystem.
13.2.1 Voltages
The microprocessor and its associated circuits are powered from the regulated3.3 volts generated on the power supply board. The 3.3 volts powers themicrocontroller, DRAM, flash, LCD controller and a portion of the LCDcontrast circuit, memory, the DUART, and real-time clock. The 5 volts powersthe 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.
Section 13: Microprocessor Computer and Control –Theory of Operation

13.2.2 Microcontroller Signals
The battery and microcontroller have two signals that connect directly with eachother, EARLY WARNING and PS OFF. The battery circuits generate anEARLY WARNING signal to the microcontroller that the power is going downwithin 100 millisecond. This EARLY WARNING signal could be due to thepower On/Standby switch being depressed or from the battery voltage getting toolow. The signal is connected directly to INTERRUPT 5 and INTERRUPT 7.The software will save any information it must save and finish its housekeepingbefore 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 thetwo LEDs on the membrane switch. The On/Standby switch goes directly fromthe membrane switch to the power supply board. This is to allow powering upwhen off. Another switch, the Alarm Silence switch also goes to the batterycircuit. Unlike the On/Standby switch, this switch also goes to themicrocontroller.
13.2.3.2 Power Supply Generated LED Signals
The power supply circuits generate two LED driving signals, one that indicatesthat the AC mains is connected, and one that indicates that the DC power isconnected. When the AC Mains LED is being driven on, a high voltage levelgoes to the 386EX port 1 bit 6 as the AC mains input status bit. When the LEDis off, the signal is a logic low. The software will interpret the signal levels so asto tell whether the AC mains is connected or not. The same is true with the DCconnector. The signal driving the DC LED goes to port 1, bit 7. This indicatesthe 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 isbuffered by an amplifier circuit that converts it to a signal within the 0-5 voltsrange of the A/D converter. The BATTSNS+ signal is sent directly to the MainBoard and is divided by two by a resistor divider circuit on the positive input tothe amplifier. The amplifier has a gain of two, which brings the signal back toits original signal level and then it is resistor-divided to the 0-5 volts range forthe A/D converter.
13.2.5 Sync/Alarm 50kHz Signal
The power supply needs a 50 kHz signal to synchronize its own internaloperation 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 ifthe WDT should time out, the power supply circuit will sound the alarm and shutdown the Main Board.

13.3 NIBP PROCESSING
See Figure 13-2. The NIBP circuits consist of microprocessor control forturning on and off certain signals, control logic generating the pump PWM andvalve 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 adigital code, the pressure from transducer 1, the pressure from transducer 2, andthe oscillatory signal from pressure transducer 1. The signals are connected tothe A/D converter for conversion and subsequent processing by themicroprocessor.
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 pressureresults are calculated. Transducer 2 is used as the backup cuff pressure signalsfrom which over-pressure warnings are obtained. These pressure voltages go tothe A/D converter and are monitored by the software.
13.3.3 Oscillatory Signal
Transducer 1’s signal is also filtered and amplified to separated cuff pressureoscillation signals that are present on the cuff pressure signal during the deflateportion of the measurement cycle. This signal also goes to the A/D converterand 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 NIBPcircuits. Four of the signals are for control of the NIBP circuits from themicrocontroller software and one signal is a status signal fed back to thesoftware. All of the signals require 0-5 volts levels by the NIBP circuits, so each
Section 13: Microprocessor Computer and Control –Theory of Operation
13-5
of them is buffered by a logic gate that is connected to 5 volts. The inputs tothese buffers are TTL-compatible and will switch when the input goes below0.8 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 thebattery. To turn on the NIBP circuits, port 1 bit 1 must be set by software to ahigh 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 forthe 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 theover-pressure condition. Normal operation occurs when this signal is at a highlevel, indicating the cuff pressure is normal, while a low signal indicates anover-pressure condition.
13.3.8 Valve PWM Signal - FPGA
The FPGA control circuit produces a pulse-width modulated signal that is routedto the control valve for relieving the cuff pressure in an orderly manner for bloodpressure 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 aperiod of time. The high level is programmed by the software and the FPGAcircuit automatically generates the low portion of the signal.
When this signal is low, the valve is fully closed. As the duty cycle of the PWMis varied from 0 to 100 percent, the valve changes smoothly from fully closed tofully open. The PWM repetition rate must be a minimum of 9 kHz. The circuituses an eight-bit counter clocked at 5 MHz. This gives a 19.5 kHzprogrammable 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 aPWM control signal to the pump motor. When the signal is at a low level, thepump is off. A PWM signal is generated to turn on the pump in a smoothfashion by varying the duty cycle from 0 to 100 percent. There is an eight-bitcounter that is clocked at 78 kHz. This gives a 304 Hz signal frequency forpump operation. Minimum pump PWM frequency for proper operation is300 Hz.
13.4 RECORDER OPERATION
See Figure 13-3. The recorder is a thermal recorder option that is supplied byGeneral Scanning Corp. This recorder has a self-contained microprocessor andcontrol circuits for properly operating the recorder from commands sent to it viaUART serial connection. The detailed operation of the recorder is specified inthe operational manual supplied by the vendor.
Section 13: Microprocessor Computer and Control –Theory of Operation
13-6
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 twoUARTs programmed by the software. The DUART has a UART0 and aUART1, each with a full UART signal complement. The circuit uses UART1 ofthe DUART for the recorder interface. This UART has 16-byte fifos on each ofthe receive and transmit channels. The software programs the UART by settingthe chip select unit, CS4 to I/O addresses for the recorder and then programmingthe internal registers for baud rate, parity, and bit count. Up to 16 bytes can betransferred to the UART, which will transmit serially to the recorder . TheUART generates RS-232 signals in TTL/CMOS compatible signal levels. Therecorder takes 0-5 volt signals, so each of the signals to/from the recorder mustbe 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 receiveprinter reset bit -> printer resetHost receive <- printer transmitHost CTS <- 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 headoperation. The power for the recorder is generated on the power supply boardand goes directly to the recorder from the power supply board. It is merged withthe control signals to make one 50-pin cable going to the recorder interfaceboard.

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 andconsists of using the microprocessor’s synchronous serial unit to interface to theA/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 theA/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 fromthe microprocessor. The processor software sets up the DMA, synchronousserial unit, and timer channel 0 to work together to transfer control words to theA/D and Front End. The timer is set for a rate of 800 Hz and its output isprogrammed to go directly to the DMA unit. The DMA unit passes data fromthe DRAM to the SSIO unit, which in turn transmits the 16-bit word to the A/Dand the Front End. The first eight bits transmitted are stored by the A/D andinterpreted. A conversion starts. At the same time, the previous conversion istransmitted back to the SSIO unit (this is discussed in the next section). The lasteight bits are read by the Front End and are used to select the Front End muxchannel (three bits), initiate baseline reset (one bit), lead select (two bits), andselect a 0.5 Hz filter (one bit). The eighth bit is a parity bit, which is checked bythe Front End circuit. The software puts together a buffer with this data andprograms the DMA channel to transmit the data words each time the timergenerates a DMA request.

13-8
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 theprevious conversion when receiving the next transmission for a conversion. Theprevious conversion is transmitted to the SSIO unit’s receiver and the SSIO thenrequests a DMA transfer to memory.
13.5.4 SpO2 INTERFACE
The microprocessor’s asynchronous channel 2 (SIO2) is used to interface to theSpO2 unit via opto-isolators. There are two signals, transmit and receive. Thisis a UART-type unit and when the SpO2 transmits, the SIO receives the data andgenerates an interrupt to the software. When the software wants to transmit abyte to the SpO2, it transfers data to the SIO transmitter and the SIO unitautomatically transmits it to the SpO2.
13.5.5 ISOLATED FRONT END POWER SIGNALS
The isolated Front End requires its own power supply and voltages, separatefrom the other voltages in the system. The FPGA generates a 100 kHz signalthat connects to an isolation transformer. These signals are enabled/disabled bya bit in the CS5 control register. These signals are also connected to, and insynchronization with, the 50 kHz power supply clock. Resetting the Front Endcan be accomplished by turning the 100 kHz clock off, then back on again. Thisturns 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 theDUART. It is programmed by the software using CS4 and the A3 address bit setto 0. This is done in the FPGA and output as DUARTCS0. The eightprogrammable registers are internal to the UART channel and are set up for baudrate, parity, number of bits to transmit, and start and stop bits. This channel alsohas an internal register with an extra bit . The circuit uses this bit as theNURSECALL signal on pin 9 of the RS-232 connector.

(Also connected to INT 7)
Section 13: Microprocessor Computer and Control –Theory of Operation

13.7.7 Synchronous Serial Port
The synchronous serial port is connected to the A/D converter. The signals usedare as follows:
STXCLK: synchronous transmit clockSRXCLK: synchronous receive clockSSIOTX: synchronous transmit dataSSIORX: synchronous receive data
The STXCLK signal is generated in the FPGA circuit each time Timer 1 initiatesa pulse (1.25 millisecond intervals). There are 16 clock pulses generated byenabling a 25 kHz signal to the STXCLK line. The A/D is programmed for16-bit transfers, and when the A/D receives the 16th clock, it will activate theEOC signal that turns off the STXCLK signal. The A/D makes a conversion andpasses the data back the next time it receives the STXCLK signal. TheSRXCLK signal is connected to the STXCLK, and each time a new conversionis initiated, the previous conversion’s data is transferred to the 386EX via theSSIORX data line.
13.7.8 Asynchronous Serial Port
There are two asynchronous UART ports on the 386EX, but only one is used. Itis connected to the opto-isolators that connect to the SpO2 unit.
TXD0: asynchronous transmit signalRXD0: asynchronous receive signal
The remaining port is reserved for future use.
13.7.9 Watch Dog Timer Unit (WDT)

13.7.10 CPU Timing Signals
The 386EX runs from a 40 MHz crystal oscillator and the main timing is derivedfrom 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 PH1and one PH2 clock. There are a minimum of two T states per cycle. Each waitstate is one T state long (50 nanosecond) Therefore, adding wait states is adding50 nanoseconds for each additional T2 states.
13.7.11 CPU Signals
Various signals change at various times within a cycle, and the generic timing isshown 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 74ACT157address mux chips, address resistors, and the FPGA control circuit.
The CS6* (* = # = a low true signal) signal has been assigned to the DRAMmemory address space: 0-3FFFF words, or 0-7FFFF bytes. The CS6* controlregister 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 transferswill be of the 16-bit variety. However, eight-bit transfers are allowed andprovisions have been made for byte addressing. This is done by using the upperand 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 generatedin the FPGA from the 386EX signals, ADS#, CS6#, M/IO#, D/C#, WR#, andRD#. Since the CSU is programmed for one wait state, the CSU generates theREADY# signal, which terminates the transfer.

See Figure 13-8. The DRAM requires 130 nanoseconds total time, read/writeand precharge for each cycle. There is one wait state for each DRAM access anda total of three T states, which is 150 nanoseconds. Since the DRAM minimumaccess time is 130 nanoseconds, we have 20 nanoseconds of margin. TheHitachi HM51W4260AL has a RAS* time of 70 nanoseconds, a precharge timeof 50 nanoseconds, a CAS* time of 20 nanoseconds, and a WE* time of 15nanoseconds. The BLE* and BLH* signals are used to select byte-orientedreads and writes. There are two CAS* lines that are used to implement the bytewrites.
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 controlsignals and generate the DRAM signals. This is done by using CS6# to set a flipflop when ADS# and PH are true. The flip flop is RAS#. This signal is passedto two more flip flops and the RAS# output is 75 nanoseconds long. This signalis generated for all DRAM accesses and refresh. The DRAM output is enabledwhen either BLE# or BHE# is true, which means a read is occurring. Since theDRAM outputs are bi-directional, we need to disable the DRAMOE# signal if awrite 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# signalsare also used to generate the UCAS# and LCAS# signals during a read or writeoperation. Since we are using RAS only for refresh, the CAS signals must beinhibited for refresh.
13.9 Flash Control
The flash memory and control consists of two flash chips, a bootable flash (alsocalled the executable flash) and a trend flash. The control consists of the randomlogic in the FPGA. The bootable flash is a 256Kx16 Intel (part no.E28F400BVT60) or Micron (part no. MT28F400 SG-8) flash with the boot inthe top section (T), and is preprogrammed on the data I/O or some other unitwith the boot program. The executable program can also be programmed thisway or by downloading it to the 386EX via the RS-232 connection. The trendflash consists of Atmel AT29LV256 32kx8 devices that store the trend data andthat write 64 bytes at a time. It takes two wait states for reading the flash, eitherthe 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 doneon a word basis, and byte reads and writes are not allowed. The trend flash isbyte 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* isassigned to the trend flash. Typically, the executable flash is assigned the upper256k words, or 512k bytes in the system. The word address space is 40000 to
Section 13: Microprocessor Computer and Control –Theory of Operation
13-15
7FFFF, which is 80000 to FFFFF in bytes. This is the upper portion of thespace. 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 flashaddress. The design gives priority to the trend flash address over the executableflash.
The executable flash has a long delay time for writing to it, and this is why thereare four wait states. It also has a long delay from output data on to output datafloat. This requires that data buffers be installed between the 386EX and theflash. Since doing this only for the flash is awkward, the buffers were put in forall external devices.
See Figure 13-10. The read cycle time for the executable flash is 110nanoseconds. The write pulse width must be at least 150 nanoseconds. Refer tothe timing diagrams for the flash for minimum timing parameters.

In the FPGA control logic, the executable flash chip select, is anded with thetrend flash chip select such that CS2* must be high, inactive, when addressingthe executable flash. This allows the address overlap for the trend flash. Theexecutable flash chip enable, FLSH1CE#, is generated in the FPGA and thengoes to the executable flash. The trend flash is connected directly to CS2#,because it has priority over the executable if an overlapping addressing schemeis used.

13.9.2 Flash FPGA Control Circuit
The FPGA decodes the boot flash and trend flash select signals and generates theboot flash (FLSH1CE#) signal whenever the trend flash is not being accessed.Since the trend flash address space may overlap the boot flash space, the trendflash has priority.
The flash outputs are enabled for a read cycle. During a write cycle, the data businputs data to the flash.
Since the boot flash is for booting up and executing the software program, mostaccesses to the boot flash are reads. Only when a new program is downloadedwill a write to the boot flash occur.
13.9.3 Trend Flash
The purpose of the trend flash is to store the patient’s data. It has both read andwrite accesses occurring at regular intervals. The flash chosen for this purposeinterfaces with the 386EX easily, and writing data consists of transferring64 bytes at a time. The flash takes care of any erasing and writing operationsinternally. Typical worst-case write/erase times for 64 bytes is less than1 second.
13.10 LCD Display
The LCD display is a black and white (B&W) 640x480 pixel display, used as a1-bit/pixel B&W display. Gray shading is not used in this display. It is a dualpanel, dual drive unit and the 1351 drives the display directly. It operates from3.3 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 has256,000 bits, thus one SRAM is used for each of the display sections. Only onebit is available to drive each pixel. For shading or color, more memory isneeded.
The SRAM access time is defined by the 1351FLB as one over the frequencyminus 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 and10 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. TheLCD controller has control registers that must be set up by software beforewriting to the memory and display.
Section 13: Microprocessor Computer and Control –Theory of Operation
13-17
13.10.1 LCD Control
There are two chip selects assigned to the LCD display chip: one for the controlregisters inside the chip, and one for the display memory space. The chip itselfhas a state machine controller inside, and generates the necessary signals to storeand retrieve data from the memory when requested. It also takes care of drivingthe LCD display directly, with the data from the display SRAM.
The circuit uses the 1351 in mode 5 and the 16-bit microprocessor interfaceconfiguration. All transfers are word oriented, and byte reads and writes are notallowed.
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 selectsthis 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 thisaddress space.
IORD#, IOWR#, MEMRD#, and MEMWR# are used to read and writeto/from the control registers and the display memory. The two readsignals are connected directly with the RD# signal from the 386EX. Thetwo write signals are connected directly with the WR# signal from the386EX.
The MPUCLK is connected to a 10 MHz clock generated in phase withthe PH1 clock in the FPGA. Since PH1 occurs at the beginning of each386EX 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 thatthe 1351 is to operate in word mode.
The BHE# signal is connected directly to the BHE# signal from the386EX.
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 fortransferring of data to and from the control registers and the display RAM.
Section 13: Microprocessor Computer and Control –Theory of Operation
13-18
Both read and write transfers between the 386EX and the 1351FLB are definedin the 1351FLB manual, pages 1-33 and 1-34. The timing specifications of the1351FLB for reading and writing data to and from the control registers ordisplay RAM, allow a direct interface to the 386EX. External control circuits inthe FPGA are not necessary, except for one signal, the READY# signal. This isexplained in a following section.
13.10.2 LCD Display RAM
The interface signals for the display RAM are prefaced with the letter V, whichindicates video RAM. The interface to the display RAM (VRAM) is defined inthe 1351FLB manual and is connected directly to the RAM.
The LCD display interfaces directly with the 1351FLB. Timing diagrams are inthe 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 upperand lower display panels. The XSCL is the data shift clock and the LCD displaystores the data on the falling edge of this clock. The LP signal is the latch pulseand is used to latch the data into the X-drivers. The YD signal is the framepulse, 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 thatis necessary to generate in the FPGA is the READY# circuit. The 1351generates a wait signal when transfers are initiated . This wait signal is gatedwith the LCD select signals and implements an external READY signal when the1351 has completed the transfer.
13.11 Real-time Clock (RTC)
The RTC is a Dallas DS1693, which has the crystal and battery imbedded in theunit. 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 assign14 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 astate machine that is clocked at 20 MHz and generates 18 states.
Section 13: Microprocessor Computer and Control –Theory of Operation
13-19
Figure 13-13: Interface Timing
13.12 DUART Control
See Figure 13-14. The DUART is a Startech ST16C2550CJ44 which consists of2 UARTs and fifos for the read and write portions of each UART. Channel 0 isassigned 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 transferto/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 baseaddress 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 bytedevice.
A state machine in the FPGA is used to generate the proper signals forprogramming 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 andthe cursor on the LCD display moves forward or backward, depending on whichway the knob is rotated. When the knob is pushed, it must be detected andindicated to the 386EX.
Section 13: Microprocessor Computer and Control –Theory of Operation
13-20
The knob has two channels: channel A and channel B. When clockwise rotationoccurs, channel A leads channel B and when counterclockwise rotation occurs,channel B leads channel A. The software monitors the knob flip flop, and whenit is set true, the knob has turned. The direction is read by the other bits in thestatus register, and the software determines the knob direction. The KNOBINTflip flop is reset by the software when a write to CS5# + A occurs. The knobdirection 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 resistorvalues to allow the same current at 3.3 volts through the optocouplers as wouldhave occurred at 5 volts.
13.14 SWITCH CONTROL
There are five switches and one knob push-button switch. All of these switchesgo to the FPGA control circuit except for the On/Standby switch, which goesdirectly to the power supply control circuit. Each of the switch circuits has adebounce resistor and capacitor associated with it and then goes to the FPGA.The signals ALRMSIL, NIBPPB, AUDTONVOL, LCDCONTRST, andKNOBPB go to the FPGA where they are OR’d together and exit as PBINT.This is read by the software in the status register . The software debounces anddetects the length of time the switch is depressed. The software determineswhich switch was depressed by reading CS5# + A, bits 4 through 7.
13.15 MISCELLANEOUS CONTROL - CS5#
The NIBP PUMP PWM, NIBP VALVE PWM, SPEAKER FREQUENCYDUTY CYCLE, and a miscellaneous control register are all assigned to the I/Ospace programmed to CS5#. The addressing scheme is as follows:
CS5# NIBP PUMP PWM 8 bitsCS5# + 2 Not usedCS5# + 4 SPEAKER HIGH VALUE 8 bitsCS5# + 6 SPEAKER LOW VALUE 8 bitsCS5# + 8 CONTROL REG 8 bitsCS5# + A WRITE RESETS KNOB INT/READ PUSH SWITCHS and

PUSH SWITCH SWITCHES AND THE KNOB PUSHBUTTON
CS5# + E WRITE NSCALL (BIT 7) and/or PTRRST (BIT 6)/RADNSCALL and PTRRST
13.15.1 CS5# NIBP Pump PWM 8 Bits
The NIBP pump pulse width modulated (PUMP_PWM) signal is generated inthe FPGA via an eight-bit register which is clocked at 313 kHz. An eight-bitvalue is loaded into this register, and then the PUMP_PWM_GO bit (bit 0) in theCONTROL REG. is set true, and the pump PWM signal begins. The eight-bitregister starts counting down, and the signal output is low until the counterunderflows, at which time it is reloaded with the programmed value. It nowcounts up, and the signal output goes high until the counter overflows. It is thenreloaded and counts down. The PUMP_PWM signal is generated this way untilit is shut off by resetting the PUMP_PWM_GO bit in the control reg.
Section 13: Microprocessor Computer and Control –Theory of Operation
13-21
The NIBP valve pulse width modulated (NIBPCNTLVLV) signal is generated inthe FPGA via this same eight-bit register, which is clocked at 313 kHz. Aneight-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. Theeight-bit register starts counting down, and the signal output is low until thecounter underflows, at which time it is reloaded with the programmed value. Itnow counts up, and the signal output goes high until the counter overflows . It isthen reloaded and counts down. The NIBPCNTLVLV signal is generated thisway 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 whichis the value for the high portion of the frequency and one value for the lowportion for the frequency. The frequency range is 200 Hz to 1000 Hz. The16-bit counter has a selectable count frequency of 78 kHz or 313 kHz. Thisselection 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 beginthe tone frequency. Software has complete control over the duty cycle of thistone by programming the high and low values and being able to select the clockfrequency for the counter. The TONE_OUT signal is low until the low counteroverflows and sets the TONE_OUT flip flop high. Now the high counter isenabled, 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 cyclecontinues 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 PUMP_PWM_GOBIT 1 VALVE_PWM_GOBIT 2 CLK_FREQ_SELBIT 3 FREQ_GOBIT 4 BCK_LITE_ONBIT 5 FRONT END CLOCK ENABLEBIT 6 PORGQM FLASH ENABLEBIT 7 ADCS RESET
Bits 0 through 3 were defined in the above paragraphs and need no furtherexplanation here. Bit 4, BCK_LITE_ON is a bit that turns on the LCD backlightwhen set to a 1. When powered on, this bit is 0 and the backlight is off. To turnon the backlight this bit must be set to a 1.
Bit 5 enables the clock going to the Front End transformer, that generates theisolated Front End voltages. If the Front End should ever go into a baselinecondition, it is reset by stopping the clock to the transformer, and the Front Endvoltage 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 newexecutable program were downloaded via the RS-232 channel and stored in theexecutable flash.
Section 13: Microprocessor Computer and Control –Theory of Operation
13-22
Bit 7 resets the A/D converter and is generated when software starts a conversionsequence.
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 tothis register generates a KNOB_INT_RST signal which resets the knob interruptflip 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 thePB INT bit (bit 6) or the KNOB INT bit (bit 7) is set true, indicating that aswitch has been pressed or that the knob is being rotated. If either of these bits isset true, then the software just looks at bits 3, 4, and 5 to determine which of theknob functions has occurred. If the PB INTB is set true, then register C must beread to determine which switch has been pushed.
Register CS5# + A has the following bit assignments:
Bit 0 Not usedBit 1 Not usedBit 2 Not usedBit 3 Knob push button switchBit 4 Knob channel B rotationBit 5 Knob channel A rotationBit 6 Push Button occurredBit 7 Knob rotation occurred
13.15.5 CS5# + C Write Enables WDT/READ Push Buttons
After powering up, the software must enable the watch dog timer function bywriting to this register. The act of writing to CS5# + C automatically sets theWDT flip flop to a 1 and enables the WDT time out function.
Reading this register gives the push-button status, as well as the state of theWDT flip flop.
Register CS5# + C has the following bit assignments:
Bit 0 Not used
Bit 1 Not used
Bit 2 Not used
Bit 3 WDTEN (Watch Dog Timer Enable)
Bit 4 LCD Contrast switch
Bit 5 Audio Volume switch
13.15.6 CS5# + E WRITE NSCALL/PTRRST/READ PUSH SWITCHS
Writing to this register sets or resets the nurse call and printer reset bits . To setNSCALL, write a 1 to bit 7, and to reset NSCALL write a 0 to bit 7. To reset theprinter, write a 1 to bit 6. To reset this bit write, a 0 to bit 6.
The bit assignments for reading this register are shown below. The bitassignments for writing the NSCALL and PTRRST are different from the readassignments.

Bit 0 Not used
BIT 1 Not used
BIT 2 Not used

BIT 5 NURSE CALL
BIT 6 PRINTER RESET
BIT 7 PRINTER CTS (CLEAR TO SEND)
The NURSECALL and PRINTER RESET bits are the flip flop outputsprogrammed by writing to register CS5# + E as explained above.

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. Theinternal peripherals are all controlled by on board programmable registers. Inorder to save power this design has a Vcc = 3.3 volts.
The data from the front end (ECG, temperature, respiration, etc.) is multiplexedthrough a linear opto isolator to a 12 bit A/D converter, which is connected tothe on board synchronous serial port. The synchronous serial port is controlledby the on board DMA unit.
The LCD display is a 640x480 TFT color display which is connected to anS-MOS 1354F0A controller chip. This chip interfaces via the data bus to the386EX and has one 1MX16 DRAM for data storage. The backlight is controlledby enabling the +12 volts DC to the inverter board. There is no contrastadjustment for this display.
The main executable memory is a 512Kx16 flash memory which takes the upper1Megabyte of address space. This flash contains the boot program and theexecutable program for controlling the whole unit.
A 2 Megabyte DRAM is located in lower memory starting at location 0 and isused for data storage and manipulation. The DRAM also has the ability toexecute code when programming the flash with a new program from the externalRS-232 port.

A RTC (real time clock) chip keeps the date and time of day. This unit has 64bytes of battery backed up ram, 14 bytes are used for the RTC, and 50 bytes areavailable for the software to use.
The recorder (thermal printer) and the external RS-232 port are controlled fromsoftware via a DUART (dual serial port chip). These ports are the same as theCOM ports used on a PC and the DUART is programmable via software.
The SpO2 unit (MP205) is connected to one of the 386EX’s asynchronous serialports 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 digitalpotentiometer. The programmable frequency is generated in the FPGA andconnects to this programmable digital potentiometer. The software controls thevolume by programming this digital pot.
The DEFIB SYNC pulse is bit programmed via software and goes to the outsideworld via a digital driver. The DEFIB SYNC pulse’s purpose is to indicate onthe leading edge that now is the time to fire the defibrillator.
The NIBP circuit is controlled by various port bits and control circuits in theASIC. It automatically inflates a pressure cuff attached to the patient and thendeflates the cuff and takes the measurement.
The main board uses the following voltages and nominal currents; 3.3 volts DCat 300 mA, 5 volts DC at 260 mA, 12 volts DC at 315 mA with 165 mA for thebacklight, 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 circuitryin 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 regulated3.3 volts DC generated on the power supply board. The 3.3 volts DC powers themicrocontroller, DRAM, flash, LCD controller and a portion of the LCDcontrast circuit, memory, the DUART, and real time clock. The 5 volts DCpowers the Nellcor knob, the TFT color display, and a portion of the speakercircuit. The A/D converter is powered by its own 5 volt regulator. The 12 voltsDC powers the speaker circuit, the backlite inverter input voltage, and the opamp for the battery voltage going to the A/D converter. The -24 volts is notused. Typical current draws are as follows:
3.3 volts DC @ 300 mA5.0 volts DC @ 260 mA12.0 volts DC @ 315 mA-24 volts DC @ 1.2 mA

14.2.2 Microcontroller Signals
The power supply circuit and microcontroller have 2 signals which connectdirectly with each other, EARLY WARNING and PSOFF. The battery circuitsgenerate an EARLY WARNING signal to the microcontroller to warn it that thepower is going down within 100 ms. This EARLY WARNING signal isgenerated if the power On/Standby switch is pressed or the battery voltage getstoo low. The signal is connected directly to INTERRUPTS 5 and 7. Thesoftware will save any information it must save and finish its housekeepingbefore 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 2LED’s on the membrane switch. The On/Standby switch goes directly from themembrane switch to the power supply board via the 50 pin cable. This is toallow powering up when off. Another switch also goes to the battery circuit, theAlarm Silence switch. Unlike the On/Standby switch, this switch also goes tothe microcontroller.
14.2.4 POWER SUPPLY GENERATED LED SIGNALS
The power supply circuits generate two LED driving signals, one that indicatesthat the AC mains is connected, and one which indicates that the DC power isconnected. When the AC MAINS LED is being driven on, a high voltage levelgoes to the 386EX port 1 bit 6 as the AC mains input status bit. When the LEDis off the signal is a logic low. The software will interpret the signal levels so asto tell whether the AC mains is connected or not. The same is true with the DCpower input connector. The signal driving the DC led goes to port 1, bit 7. Thisindicates 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 anamplifier circuit which converts it to a signal in the 0-5 volt range of the A/Dconverter. The BATTSNS+ signal is sent directly to the main board and isdivided 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 signallevel 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 internaloperation 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 powersupply circuit will sound the alarm and shut down the main board.

14.3 CPU CONNECTIONS
The CPU (U7) is a 386EX microcontroller, which contains a 386SX core andvarious integrated peripherals. The 386EX operates from a 40 MHz oscillator(X3) and has the following on board peripherals:

14.3.5 TIMER UNIT
The timer unit has 3 timers, 2 are used for output control and 1 is used to initiateDMA transfers to the A/D converter.
TIMEROUT0: Speaker volume adjust pulseTIMEROUT1: DMA request for initiating an A/D conversionTIMEROUT2: 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:
INT2: DUART channel 0 interruptINT5: 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 usedare as follows:
STXCLK: synchronous transmit clockSRXCLK: synchronous receive clockSSIOTX: synchronous transmit dataSSIORX: synchronous receive data
The STXCLK signal is generated in the FPGA circuit each time timer1 initiatesa pulse (every 1.25 ms). Sixteen clock pulses are generated by enabling a 25kHz signal onto the STXCLK line. The A/D is programmed for 16 bit transfersand when the A/D receives the 16th clock, it will activate the EOC signal whichturns off the STXCLK signal. The STXCLK signal can also be turned off bysetting the ADCS_RESET bit in the Control Register of the FPGA The A/Dmakes a conversion and passes the data back the next time it receives theSTXCLK signal. The SRXCLK signal is connected to the STXCLK and each

time a new conversion is initiated the previous conversion’s data is transferred tothe 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 isconnected to the opto-isolators that connect to the SPO2 unit.
TXD0: asynchronous transmit signalRXD0: asynchronous receive signal

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 derivedfrom this clock. It is called CLK_40MHZ. Inside the CPU CLK_40MHZ isdivided by 2, generating two new clocks, PH1 and PH2. Each T state is made upof 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 likeadds 50 ns on for each wait state.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-8
14.5.1 CPU SIGNALS
Various signals change at various times within a cycle, and the generic timing isshown 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 timingdiagrams 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 74ACT157address mux chips, address resistors, and the FPGA control circuit.
CS6* (* = # = / a low true signal) has been assigned to the DRAM memoryaddress space, 0-100000 words, or 0-200000 bytes. The CS6* control register inthe chip select unit (CSU) must be programmed for 1 WAIT STATE. Since thedata bus is 16 bits wide and the DRAM is a x16 part, most transfers will be ofthe 16 bit variety. However, 8 bit transfers are allowed and we have madeprovisions for byte addressing. This is done by using the upper and lower CASsignals, 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 generatedin the FPGA from the 386EX signals, ADS#, CS6#, M/IO#, D/C#, WR#, andRD#. Since the CSU is programmed for 1 wait state, the CSU generates theREADY# signal which terminates the transfer.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-9
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 is150 ns. Since the DRAM minimum access time is 104 ns, we have 46 ns ofmargin. We are using the Hitachi HM51W18165LTT or equivalent which has aRAS* time of 60 ns, a precharge time of 40 ns, a CAS* time of 10 ns, and aWE* time of 10 ns. The BLE* and BLH* signals are used to select byte orientedreads and writes. There are 2 CAS* lines, which are used to implement the bytewrites.
The RAS# and CAS# requirements are shown below.
Figure 14-5: RAS# and CAS# Timing
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-10
14.6.2 DRAM FPGA CIRCUITS
The DRAM control circuits in the FPGA must decode the various 386EX controlsignals and generate the DRAM signals. This is done by using CS6# to set a flipflop when ADS# and PH2 are true. When this is true, a flip flop is set, which isoutput as RAS#. The output of this flip flop is RAS# which is 75 ns long. Thissignal is generated for all DRAM accesses and refresh. The DRAM output isenabled 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# andBHE# signals are also used to generate the UCAS# and LCAS# signals during aread or write operation. Since we are using RAS only for refresh, the CASsignals must be inhibited for refresh.
14.7 FLASH CONTROL
The flash memory and control consists of 2 flash chips, a bootable flash, alsocalled the executable flash, and a trend flash. The control consists of the randomlogic in the FPGA. The bootable flash is a 512Kx16 Intel) flash with the boot inthe top section (T), and is preprogrammed on the data I/O or some other unitwith the boot program. The executable program can also be programmed thisway or by downloading it to the 386EX via the RS-232 connection. The trendflash consists of Atmel AT29LV256 32kx8 devices which stores the trend dataand which writes 64 bytes at a time. It takes 1 wait state for reading theexecutable, 2 wait states for reading the trend, and 4 wait states to write either ofthese flashes.
14.7.1 EXECUTABLE FLASH
The executable flash is a word oriented flash, i.e., reading and writing is done ona word basis, and byte reads and writes are not allowed. The trend flash is byteoriented and all reads and writes are done on a byte basis.
The chip select unit has UCS* assigned to the executable flash and CS2* isassigned to the trend flash. Typically, the executable flash is assigned the upper512 k words, or 1 Megabyte in the system. The word address space is 00000-7FFFF, 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 theability to overlap the trend flash address with the executable flash address. Thedesign 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 mustbe at least 100 ns. Refer to the timing diagrams for the flash for minimumtiming parameters.
The executable flash has a delay time of 4 wait states for writing to it.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-11
Figure 14-6: Flash Read Timing
In the FPGA control logic, the executable flash chip select is anded with thetrend flash chip select such that CS2* must be high, inactive, when addressingthe executable flash. This allows the address overlap for the trend flash. Theexecutable flash chip enable FLSH1CE# is generated in the FPGA and then goesto the executable flash. The trend flash is connected directly to CS2# because ithas priority over the executable if an overlapping addressing scheme is used. Thewrite 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 theboot flash (FLSH1CE#) signal whenever the trend flash is not being accessed.Since the trend flash address space may overlap the boot flash space, the trendflash has priority.
The flash outputs are enabled for a read cycle. During a write cycle, the data businputs data to the flash.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-12
Since the boot flash is for booting up and executing the software program, mostaccesses to the boot flash are reads. Only when a new program is downloadedwill 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 bothread and write accesses occurring at regular intervals. The flash chosen for thispurpose interfaces with the 386EX easily, and writing data consists oftransferring 64 bytes at a time. The flash takes care of any erasing and writingoperations internally. Typical worst case write/erase times for 64 bytes is lessthan 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 voltsDC and the LCD display operates from 5 volts DC.
The LCD display is a single panel display constructed of 640x3x480 dots, whichequals a total of 921,600 pixels. We wanted 4 bits per pixel, therefor we needed3,686,400 bits of memory to support the display. A 1MX16 EDO DRAM waschosen because it allowed us to expand to 8 or 16 bits per pixel and it was veryinexpensive. 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, SED1354F0Athrough some 74HCT244 buffers. This controller chip is connected to the386EX and one 1MX16 EDO DRAM. The LCD controller has control registerswhich must be setup by software before writing to the memory and display. Italso has configuration inputs that will determine the mode of operation atpowerup or reset. The SED1354 is configured in the following. These valuescould be changed by adding or removing 10k ohm pull-up resistors on the mainboard. (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 controlregisters inside the chip, and one for the display memory space. The chip itselfhas a state machine controller inside, and generates the necessary signals to storeand retrieve data from the memory when requested. It also takes care of drivingthe LCD display directly, with the data from the display DRAM.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-13
The processor interface consists of the following signals.
CS# is the chip select for the SED1354. It connects directly from the FPGA pin53 to the SED1345. This signal will go low whenever there is an access by the386EX to CS0# or CS1#. CS0# relates to the internal registers and CS1# relatesthe 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, the386EX is accessing the display memory. This pin is connected directly to theM/IO signal of the 386EX.
RD#, RD/WR#, WE0#, and WE1# are used to read and write to/from the controlregisters and the display memory. The 2 read signals (RD# and RD/WR#) areconnected directly from the FPGA. The 2 write signals (WE0#, and WE1# ) areconnected 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 DataBits [15:8] are being read from the 1354. When both RD# and RD/WR# arelow, it indicates that Data Bits [15:0] are being read from the 1354. WhenWE0# 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 the1354. When both WE0# and WE1# are low, it indicates that Data Bits [15:0] arebeing written to the 1354. RD# is generated by “anding” BLE# and RD# of the386EX, 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 getssynchronized with a flip flop. WE0# is on pin 56 of the FPGA. WE1# isgenerated by “anding” BHE# and WR# of the 386EX, it then gets synchronizedwith a flip flop. WE1# is on pin 58 of the FPGA.
The CLKI signal is connected to the 40 MHz clock generated by the crystaloscillator X3. This signal provides the pixel clock and the memory clock The40 MHz frequency allows the software to vary the LCD refresh rate from 80 Hzto 120 Hz
The BUSCLK signal is connected to the 40 MHz clock generated by the crystaloscillator 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 bepulled up in order to operate in Generic CPU mode.
AB0 of the 1354 is connected to BLE# of the 386EX. AB1-AB20 is connectedto 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 indicatesto the CPU to wait. When this signal goes high data is valid. This signal will beused by the 386EX. The 386EX will insert 2 wait states automatically and endthe cycle only when WAIT# returns high.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-14
The above signals are all of the signals used to interface to the 386EX fortransferring 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. Theycan 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 isdisplayed 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 willprogram GPIO4 & 5 to be set. The unused ports are pulled-down with 1k ohmresistors 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 definedin the SED1354 Hardware Functional Specification manual and is connecteddirectly to the DRAM.
The LCD display interfaces directly with the SED1354 through the 74HCT244buffers. The signals used are DRDY, FPFRAME, FPLINE, FPSHIFT, andFPDATA[15:0].
The FPLINE signal is the line pulse, which indicates the start of a line. It is anactive low signal. The FPFRAME signal is the frame pulse, which indicates astart-of-frame. It is an active low signal. FPSHIFT is the data shift clock and theLCD display stores the data on the falling edge of this clock. DRDY is thedisplay enable output signal. It indicates when data is ready for each line ofvideo. It is an active high signal. It goes high when data for the line is valid andstays 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 1FPDATA[14] is Blue bit 2FPDATA[13] is Green bit 0FPDATA[12] is Green bit 1FPDATA[11] is Green bit 2FPDATA[10] is Red bit 1FPDATA[9] is Red bit 2FPDATA[8] is Blue bit 3FPDATA[7] is Blue bit 4FPDATA[6] is Blue bit 5FPDATA[5] is Green bit 3FPDATA[4] is Green bit 4FPDATA[3] is Green bit 5FPDATA[2] is Red bit 3FPDATA[1] is Red bit 4FPDATA[0] is Red bit 5
The 1354 can only support 64,000 colors, therefore Red bit 0 and Blue bit 0 arenot supported and are tied to ground through 1k ohm pull-down resistors (R515and R516).
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-15
14.8.3 LCD AND 386EX INTERFACE
The LCD display chip interfaces directly with the 386EX. When the 386EXinitiates a transfer to the 1354F0A, the 386EX generates two wait states andterminates the cycle when the WAIT# signal of the 1354 returns high. This istrue for transfers to the 1354F0A’s Video Memory or control registers.
14.8.4 LCD CONTRAST CIRCUIT
There is no contrast adjustment for this TFT display. The contrast circuitry isnot being used.
Pressing the Contrast switch on the front of the NPB-4000C causes thebackground 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) andis turned on and off by a digital control bit in the FPGA Control Register. Whenpower is applied it is reset to 0. The backlight requires an AC high voltagewhich is generated by an inverter, which takes 12 volts DC and generates the ACvoltage. When software wants the backlight on it sets this bit and it turns onFET Q1, which completes the circuit to ground and allows the inverter togenerate the AC voltage. Resetting this bit breaks the ground connection andinhibits 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 theunit. 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 14wait 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 machinewhich is clocked at 20 MHz and generates 18 states.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-16
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 andFIFOS for the read and write portions of each UART. Channel 0 is assigned tothe RS-232 port which exits the unit near the AC and DC inputs. Channel 1 isassigned to the recorder. The FIFOS are 16 bytes deep and transfers to/from theDUART 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 baseaddress 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 forprogramming the unit.

14.11 KNOB INTERFACE CONTROL
The knob consists of a rotary knob with a push button switch. The knob isrotated 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 mustbe detected and indicated to the 386EX.
The knob has 2 channels, channel A and channel B. When clockwise rotationoccurs, 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 itis set true the knob has turned. The direction is read by 2 other bits in the statusregister and the software determines the knob direction. The KNOBINT flipflop in the FPGA is reset by the software when a write to CS5# + A occurs. Theknob 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 appropriateresistor values to allow the same current at 3.3 volts through the opto couplers aswould have occurred at 5 volts.
14.12 PUSH BUTTON CONTROL
There are 5 push button switches and one knob push button switch. All of thesepush 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 buttoncircuits have a debounce resistor and capacitor associated with them and then goto the FPGA. The signals ALRMSIL, NIBPPB, AUDTONVOL,LCDCONTRST, and KNOBPB go to the FPGA where they are “or’ed” togetherand exit as PBINT. This is read by the software in the status register. Thesoftware 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 FREQUENCYDUTY CYCLE, and a miscellaneous control register are all assigned to the I/Ospace programmed to CS5#. The addressing scheme is as follows:
CS5# NIBP PUMP/VALVE PWM 8 bits (R/W)CS5# + 2 NUCS5# + 4 SPEAKER HIGH VALUE 8 bits (R/W)CS5# + 6 SPEAKER LOW VALUE 8 bits (R/W)CS5# + 8 CONTROL REG. 8 bits (R/W)CS5# + A WRITE RESETS KNOB INT/READ PB AND KNOB

14.13.1 CS5# NIBP PUMP PWM 8 BITS
The NIBP pump pulse width modulated (PUMP_PWM) signal is generated inthe FPGA via an 8 bit register which is clocked at 313 kHz. An 8 bit value isloaded into this register and then the PUMP_PWM_GO bit (bit 0) in theCONTROL REG. is set true and the pump PWM signal begins. The 8 bitregister starts counting down and the signal output is low until the counterunderflows, at which time it is reloaded with the programmed value. It nowcounts up, and the signal output goes high until the counter overflows. It is thenreloaded and counts down, etc. The PUMP_PWM signal is generated this wayuntil 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 inthe FPGA via this same 8 bit register which is clocked at 313 kHz. An 8 bitvalue is loaded into this register and then the VALVE_PWM_GO bit (bit 1) inthe CONTROL REG. is set true and the valve PWM signal begins. The 8 bitregister starts counting down and the signal output is low until the counterunderflows, at which time it is reloaded with the programmed value. It nowcounts up, and the signal output goes high until the counter overflows. It is thenreloaded and counts down, etc. The NIBPCNTLVLV signal is generated thisway until it is shut off by resetting the VALVE_PWM_GO bit in the CONTROLREG.
The same register is used for both PWMs because they are mutually exclusiveand 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 isthe value for the high portion of the frequency and one value for the low valuefor the frequency. The frequency range is 200 Hz to 1000 Hz. The 16 bitcounter has a count frequency selectable of 78 kHz or 313 kHz. This selection isprogrammed in the CONTROL REG. using the CLK_FREQ_SEL (bit 2). A 0selects 156 kHz and a 1 selects 78 kHz. Once the values are loaded and thefrequency clock is selected the FREQ_GO bit (bit 3) is set to begin the tonefrequency. Software has complete control over the duty cycle of this tone byprogramming the high and low values and being able to select the clockfrequency for the counter. The TONE_OUT signal is low until the low counteroverflows and sets the TONE_OUT flip flop high. Now the high counter isenabled 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 cyclecontinues until the FREQ_GO bit is reset to 0.
14.13.3 CS5# + 8 CONTROL REGISTER
This register has 8 programmable bits as follows:
BIT 0: PUMP_PWM_GOBIT 1: VALVE_PWM_GOBIT 2: CLK_FREQ_SELBIT 3: FREQ_GOBIT 4: BCK_LITE_ONBIT 5: FRONT END CLOCK ENABLEBIT 6: PROGRAM FLASH ENABLEBIT 7: ADCS RESET
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-19
Bits 0-3 were defined in the above paragraphs. Bit 4, BCK_LITE_ON is a bitthat turns on the LCD backlight when set to a 1. When powered on this bit is 0and 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 theisolated front end voltages. If the front end should ever go into a base linecondition, it is reset by stopping the clock to the transformer and the front endvoltages will go to 0. Turning this bit back on powers the front end up andessentially acts as a reset.
Bit 6 enables programming of the boot flash. This would be used if a newexecutable program were downloaded via the RS-232 channel and stored in theexecutable flash.
Bit 7 set causes the A/D converter chip select to be set and clears STYXCLKsignal. Bit 7 cleared causes the A/D converter chip select to be cleared and startsa 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 thisregister generates a KNOB_INT_RST signal which resets the knob interrupt flipflops. 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 beenpressed or the knob is being rotated. If either of these bits is true the softwaremust 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 buttonwas pushed.
Register CS5# + A has the following bit assignments.
BIT 0: Not usedBIT 1: Not usedBIT 2: Not usedBIT 3: Knob push buttonBIT 4: Knob channel b rotationBIT 5: Knob channel a rotationBIT 6: Push button occurredBIT 7: Knob rotation occurred
14.13.5 CS5# + C WRITE ENABLES WDT/READ PUSH BUTTONS
After powering up the software must enable the watch dog timer function bywriting to this register. The act of writing to CS5#+C automatically sets theWDT 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 theWDT flip flop.

BIT 0: Not usedBIT 1: Not usedBIT 2: Not usedBIT 3: WDT (watch dog timer enable)BIT 4: LCD contrast switchBIT 5: Audio volume switchBIT 6: NIBP switchBIT 7: Alarm silence button
14.13.6 CS5# + E WRITE NSCALL/PTRRST/READ PUSH BUTTONS
Writing to this register sets or resets the NURSECALL and PRINTER RESETbits. To set NURSECALL write a 1 to bit 7 and to reset NSCALL write a 0 tobit 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 bitassignments for writing the NURSECALL and PRINTER RESET are differentfrom the read assignments.
Register CS5# + E has the following bit assignments.
BIT 0: Not usedBIT 1: N Not usedBIT 2: Not usedBIT 3: Not usedBIT 4: Not usedBIT 5: NURSECALLBIT 6: PRINTER RESETBIT 7: PRINTER CTS (clear to send)
The NURSECALLL and PRINTER RESET bits are the flip flop outputsprogrammed by writing to register CS5# + E as explained above.
14.14 SPEAKER
The speaker circuit consists of an 8 ohm speaker driven by a circuit whichconsists of U26, U27, Q12, Q13, and some discrete resistors and capacitors.U26 is a logarithmic potentiometer which is set by software. Pulses are sent tothis potentiometer from a timer in the processor and these pulses turn the volumeup and down. A tone is generated by programming the registers in the FPGA andconnecting this tone to the potentiometer. The tone’s amplitude is modified bythe potentiometer and sent to the amplifier U27 which adds a DC offset to thetone and drives transistors Q12 and Q13, which generates a 12 volt signal. Thissignal goes to a 3.3 ohm resistor and is then capacitively coupled by a 220 uFcapacitor to the speaker.
14.15 NIBP (NON INVASIVE BLOOD PRESSURE) CONTROL
NIBP is a measurement taken by wrapping a blood pressure cuff on the patientsarm and automatically inflating the cuff, then deflating the cuff under controlledconditions and monitoring the signals from the pressure transducers connected tothe cuff air tubes. Pressure signals are amplified, passed to an A/D converter forconversion to digital format, and then analyzed by the processor software.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-21
14.15.1 NIBP System Overview
The NPB-4000C Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) measurement and displayoperations described in this section include the pneumatics of the inflatable cuffand control valves, the specialized front end NIBP circuitry, some of the µPMemory and Control circuitry, some of the Power System, and specific switcheson the Keypad. The major blocks involved from the cuff to the microprocessorare the pump, pressure transducers, control valves, digital control circuits, andthe analog detection circuits. The pump is mounted on the Power Systemassembly and is driven by a pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signal from theDigital Hardware section of the Main Board assembly. That signal is gated byan enabling signal originating in the microprocessor of the section of the MainBoard. The pumped air is ducted through tubing and valves mounted on theMain Board and made available at the front end connection to the cuff.
Principle of MeasurementPrior to making blood pressure measurements, the cuff is placed around thearterial location of an upper arm (left or right). The NIBP measurement systemis initiated by commands responding to pressing the NIBP switch on the frontpanel. The cuff is inflated at a rate controlled by the pump excitation current toa pressure above diastolic, at which level the artery is effectively occluded.Then, as the cuff pressure is reduced at constant rate, the pressure transducersprovide analog signals to the digital hardware where the are digitized andprocessed to obtain systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure values, as wellas the beat rate. The technique for translating the pressure signals into therequired measurements makes use of the action of the oscillatory characteristicof the returning arterial pressure. The phenomenon is illustrated in the diagrambelow.
See Figure 14-11. Systolic pressure is defined as the point at which oscillationincreases sharply. As the cuff deflates, oscillation amplitude increases to amaximum, and then decreases. The point of peak oscillation amplitude is themean arterial pressure. The point at which oscillations cease is defined as thediastolic pressure.

14.15.1.1 The pneumatic assembly
The pneumatic assembly, consisting of the pump, two controlling valves, andtubing to connect the various pneumatic components together are illustrated inthe schematic diagram that follows.
See Figure 14-12. The pump output is connected to the cuff and to two valves: atwo-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 thefollowing text.
Figure 14-12: Pneumatic Assembly Block Diagram
Control valve V2 is used to control the rate of deflation. The smoothly variableopening 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 thedeflation cycle;
2. It connects the pressure transducers directly to the atmosphere forcalibration purposes.
14.15.1.2 NIBP Hardware
The NIBP Analog Control Hardware is highlighted in the block diagram. Itincludes the front end NIBP circuitry, as well as the pressure transducers andpump.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation

14.15.1.2.1 Pressure Transducers
Pressure transducers PS1 and PS2 convert pneumatic pressure levels to voltagesin the range from 0.33 volts at 0 mmHg to 4 volts at 300 mmHg. TransducerPS1 is used to sense the main cuff pressure. Transducer PS2 is used as a backupcuff pressure sensor, from which over-pressure warning signals are obtained.Both transducers outputs are smoothed to remove the effects of pumpingpulsation. The output of PS1 is identified as signal NIBPPRSR1, while that ofPS2 is NIBPPRSR2.
14.15.1.2.2 Filtering the Oscillatory Signal
Amplifiers U16-1 and U16-14, in combination with the lumped resistance andcapacitance values of the passive components, form a band pass filter thatseparates and amplifies the oscillatory signals OSC from the deflating cufftransducer 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, isregulated in U15 when that component is enabled by the NPANPWR analogpower On/Off signal input to U10-4. The regulator accepts a battery voltage of 6to 8 volts and delivers regulated +5 volts to power the pressure transducers andbiasing 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 enablesignal that is generated in U16-7 level-detector amplifier circuit. One input tothat amplifier is the NIBPRSR2 signal from transducer P2. The other is a valuedetermined by voltage divider R68 and R64, and feedback resistor R61.
The pump and valve drivers are enabled only when cuff pressure is belownominal 330 mmHg for adult mode, and below 165 mmHg for neonatalmeasurements.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-24
14.15.1.2.5 Pump and Valve Drivers
Three-way valve V1 coil is powered by VPS that is switched in series with thecoil through n-channel MOSFET Q10-6. Switching action of Q10-6 iscontrolled by the input signal NP3WYV, that is gated by the enabling signalNPPVEN at switch U23. VPS is developed from VBATTP through Q11-6 thatis also controlled by NPVEN gating transistor Q6. Diode D5 acts to suppressvoltage spikes. Resistor R101 insures that Q10-6 will be OFF in case of an opento the input line. The valve is either fully closed, or fully open.
Control valve V2 coil is powered by VBATTP and controlled by switching n-channel MOSFET Q10-7, in series with the coil. Q10-7 is controlled by inputsignal NIBPCNTLVLV. Pulse width modulation (PWM) of a 5-volt level isused to operate the control valve. No-voltage results in a fully closed valve. Asthe duty cycle of the PWM is varied from 0 to 100%, the valve changes smoothlyfrom 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 willbe OFF if the input line should open.
14.15.1.2.6 NIBP Pump Control
The power supply mechanical assembly holds the blood pressure pump andshield. The power supply contains circuitry that allows logic level control of thepump power from the processor board. For singly-point fault protection, thepump requires two signals (PUMPON and PVENB to activate the pump.PUMPON (when high) turns on FET Q18 that pulls the bottom lead of the motorto ground. PVENB, through level translator Q19, turns on FET Q17 that pullsthe top motor lead to VBATT.
When no voltage is present at Q18, the pump is fully OFF. As the duty cycleincreases from 0 to 100%, the pump power changes smoothly from full OFF tofully ON. This control technique minimizes overshoot of the targeted pressure.Diode D32 suppresses voltage spikes, while R78 insures that Q18 will be OFF ifthe 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 memoryperipherals, include the algorithms needed to process the digitized outputs of theDigital Hardware just described. It also includes the system software thatresponds to the commands for desired modes of NIBP measurements, display ofNIBP 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 themicroprocessor and control circuitry.
14.16 FRONT END INTERFACE
The LNA front end multiplexes analog channels to a linear opto-coupler which isconnected to the A/D converter. The A/D converter connects to the transmit andreceive ports of the SSIO (Synchronous Serial I/O) unit in the 386EX. Controldata is passed to the A/D and the front end via the SSIO signals at the same time
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-25
the previous conversion is transferred to the 386EX. The SSIO unit works withthe 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 isas follows. Software sets up DMA CHANNEL 0 to transfer from DRAM abuffer which contains 16 bit control words. The timer is set up to generate apulse every 1.25 ms (800 Hz rate). DMA CHANNEL 1 is set up to transfer datafrom the SSIO receive buffer to a DRAM buffer. The SSIO unit is set up totransmit and receive data when it receives a serial clock. Once set up all of theabove circuits work together with the FPGA serial clock circuit to initiate aconversion and transfer the conversions into memory.
The timer output is routed to DMA CHANNEL 0 and the FPGA. The DMA unittransfers a 16 bit control word from DRAM to the SSIO transmit buffer. At thesame time the FPGA starts synchronizing to the 25 kHz clock generatedinternally in the FPGA. The FPGA circuit generates a serial clock which goes tothe SSIO clock input and the A/D converter clock input. The SSIO transmit unitstarts transmitting the 16 bit control word to the A/D and the front end. The A/Dconverter receives and interprets the first 8 bits, and ignores the last 8 bits. Thefront end ignores the first 8 bits and stores the last 8 bits. At the same time thatit is receiving the control word, the A/D transmits to the SSIO receive unit thedata from the previous conversion. Three things are happening at once. TheA/D starts a new conversion after receiving the control word, the A/D transmitsto the SSIO the previous conversion’s data, and the front end changes it’smultiplexer to the new input channel. Since the A/D converter has its ownsample and hold, once the conversion begins, the input to the A/D can changewithout affecting the conversion. Thus, the front end sets up for the nextconversion, the A/D starts a conversion, and the A/D also transmits the previousconversion’s data. Once the DMA unit receives the new data word from the A/Dit transfers it to the DRAM memory.
There is a specific sampling scheme for converting the analog signals. The A/Dconverter’s sampling sequence is programmed by software. The channelselections for the A/D and the front end are contained in the control wordstransmitted by the SSIO. Since the A/D is a pipelined converter, the A/Dchannel address sent is for the next conversion, and the front end channeladdress is for the second conversion. Thus, when a control word is sent, itcontains the A/D channel to convert, and the front end channel for the nextconversion. The data that gets transferred is for the previous channel. Samplingoccurs 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 16bit control word to the SSIO transmit holding buffer. The SSIO transmits thisword to the A/D and the front end. The A/D stores the first 8 bits and the frontend stores the last 8 bits. At the same time the A/D transfers to the SSIO receivebuffer the previous conversions data. When the SSIO receive buffer becomesfull, it starts DMA CHANNEL 1, which transfers the data word to memory fromthe SSIO receive buffer. This process continues indefinitely.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-26
The control words sent to the A/D converter contain the A/D multiplexerchannel to convert, the data length, data format, and whether the conversion is aunipolar or bipolar conversion.
The first bit transferred out the SSIO transmit line is the most significant bit, bit15. The A/D takes bits 15-8 and the front end takes bits 7-0. Bit definitions areas follows.
BIT 16-12: A/D MUX CHANNEL SELECTBIT 11-10: A/D DATA LENGTHBIT 9: A/D DATA FORMATBIT 8: UNIPOLAR/BIPOLAR
Once the A/D reads these 8 bits, a conversion starts.
BIT 7-5: FRONT END MUX CHANNEL SELECTBIT 4-3: LEAD SELECTBIT 2: 0.5 HZ FILTER SELECTBIT 1: BASELINE RESETBIT 0: PARITY
Once these 8 bits are strobed into the front end serial shift register, a load pulseis generated which transfers these bits to the output register in the shift registerand these bits now become effective.

The speaker circuit consists of a software programmable digital potentiometerchip, U28, which is a Dallas DS1666s-10. The software sets the tone frequencyby setting the high register with a value, the low register with a value, thenprogramming the digital potentiometer up/down according to the timingspecified in the requirement specification.
14.17.1 FPGA THEORY OF OPERATION
The Actel FPGA is a 3.3 volt, 9000 gate device which contains miscellaneouscontrol and glue logic for the NPB-4000C. It is packaged in a 176 pin TQFP.
The FPGA contains the following control circuits.

LCD control
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, andENDTABFR. The process of reading, writing, and refreshing the DRAM iscontrolled 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 intothe DRAM. Next, a 50 ns signal called LCAS/ (Lower Column Address Strobe)and/or UCAS/ (Upper Column Address Strobe) is/are generated which strobesthe column address into the DRAM. Once RAS/ and LCAS/ and/or UCAS/ haveoccurred, either a read of the DRAM takes place if DRAMOE/ is true, or a writeto the DRAM takes place if WRITE/ is true. Only one of these last 2 signals canbe true at one time. 25 ns before CAS/ occurs, CASADREN is generated. Whenthis signal is high the row address is enabled to the DRAM and when it is lowthe column address is enabled to the DRAM. The signal ENDTABFR is a lowtrue signal and enables the data bus buffer on the Mother Board (D5-18055) totransfer data to or from the 386EX.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-28
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 andedwith 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 onthe rising edge of the IOCLOCK signal at the end of the T1 state (which is thesame as the beginning of the T2 state). At the same time the STARTFF isconditioned to get set every time CLK_PH2 and ADS/ occur. This signifies thebeginning 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 onpin 138. CASADREN is low and enables the row address to the DRAM. On thenext 3 consecutive CLK_40MHZ rising edges, RAS1FF is set low, then RAS2FFis set low, and finally RAS3FF is set low. This takes 75 ns, and when RAS3FFis 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 DRAMread the RAS state machine does not turn off properly and it will not pick up thenext DRAM read if it follows the idle state. What was happening was asfollows. The DRAMINFF is set at the beginning of the T2 state of a validDRAM read cycle. The RAS1FF is set 25 ns later, the RAS2FF is set 25 ns afterthat, and the RAS3FF is set 25 ns after that. It takes another 75 ns for each ofthese 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 thestate machine just continues to turn back on because CS6/ remains low duringthe idle state even though it’s not doing a DRAM read. Since the state machinethinks it is back on, it does a DRAM read cycle, but it is out of sync with theactual next DRAM read. The idle state is only one T state long (50 ns) and theeasiest solution at the time was to put in the STARTFF which turns on onlywhen ADS/ is true which can only occur at the beginning of a valid cycle and notwhen an idle state occurs. The STARTFF turns off when the READY/ signaloccurs which happens at the end of each cycle. This gives a definitive start andstop 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, andis 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 requireseparate CAS signals, hence the UCAS/ and LCAS/ signals. BLEB and BHEBare low byte and high byte enable signals from the 386EX. LCD_MEM_SEL/ ispart of the conditioning because software requested that the display memorymight be overlaid with the DRAM memory and, therefore, it has priority.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-29
14.17.3.2 DRAMOE/ CONTROL CIRCUIT
The DRAMOE/ signal enables the output drivers in the DRAM which isactivated 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 indicatingthat a write is not taking place, and LCD_MEM_SEL/ is high indicating that thememory 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 columnaddress to the DRAM when RAS/ and CAS/ are generated. This signal is highand 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 theRAS1/ 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 theDUART. 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 anote, a WRITE/ must be generated in glue logic because various memory andperipheral chips require a hold time when writing data to it. The 386EX turnsthe 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-statecondition. This can happen rather quickly, (less then 5 ns) and cannot guaranteea 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 onthe Mother Board (D5-18055) to transfer data to or from the 386EX. It powersup in the high state and is set low when ADSB/ goes low, which signifies that anew cycle is beginning. This is true for all transfers except if the RTC isselected. If the RTC is selected then the signal doesn’t go low until state 9 of theRTC state machine. This is ensured by jamming the D input with a high signalgenerated by the anding of RTC_SEL low and the state machine having notreached state 8. When ENDTABFR is low, it is set high again when theREADY/ signal goes low, signifying the end of a cycle. The RTC has amultiplexed address/data bus and requires that the data bus buffer be tri-statedwhen the address is enabled to the RTC chip.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-30
14.17.4 CONTROL REGISTER DECODE
The CONTROL REGISTER decoder is a 1 of 8 decoder which decodes theregister addresses for the 8 control registers in the FPGA. The decoder generatesa high going pulse coincident with WRB/ on 1 of the 8 output signal lines. Theregister addresses are as follows:
1. LOAD NIBP PUMP PWM ADDRESS 300 HEX2. LOAD CONTRAST PWM ADDRESS 302 HEX, NOT USED3. LOAD SPEAKER HIGH ADDRESS 304 HEX4. LOAD SPEAKER LOW ADDRESS 306 HEX5. LOAD CONTROL REG ADDRESS 308 HEX6. RESET KNOB INTERRUPT ADDRESS 30A HEX7. ENABLE WATCH DOG
TIMERADDRESS 30C HEX
8. LOAD CONTROL REG 2
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 themembrane switches are or’ed together to generate the PBINTPD signal which isread via the status register. This signal also comes out on pin 81 of the FPGAfor testing purposes only. It does not go the 386EX interrupt inputs. Thesoftware polls the status register at a known rate and checks to see if this bit isset.
14.17.6 WATCH DOG TIMER ENABLE
The WDT output from the 386EX is anded with a 50 kHz signal which is derivedfrom the 100 kHz output of timer 2 of the 386EX. When powering up the WDTis not in the correct mode of operation until the software programs it. Therefore,to prevent the power supply from shutting down prematurely, the WDTENFFmust be set high after the WDT has been programmed. Writing to address 30Cautomatically 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). Eachof these bits can be set high or low by programming the bit 6 for the PTRRSTsignal and bit 7 for the NSCALL signal. The NSCALL signal goes out on pin123 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 theTREND FLASH is assigned to CS2. Software requested that they be able tomap the TREND FLASH in the EXECUTABLE FLASH address space. Toaccomplish this the TREND FLASH selection has priority over theEXECUTABLE FLASH. Thus, the EXECUTABLE FLASH chip select must beconditioned with the TREND FLASH chip select. This is done by andingBOOTFLSHSEL/ low with TRND_FLSH_SEL/ high and M_IOB/ high. TheFLSH1CE/ low gets generated whenever the BOOT FLASH is being addressedand the TREND FLASH is not being addressed.

The FLASH write state machine consists of 5 flip flops and is set into actionwhen CS2/ or UCS/ is low, CLK_PH1 is high ( which indicates the first phase ofthe T2 state), WRB/ is low, and BLEORBHE is high indicating a byte or wordtransfer. The FLSHWRFF1 signal is set true at the midpoint of T2, whichgenerates FLASHWRT and WRITE/ on pin 2. The state machine flip flops areclocked on CLK_PH1 which occurs at the beginning of each T2 state. There are4 flip flops which gives a 200 ns time, and the FLSHWRT signal gets turned offat the mid point of the last T2 state, generating a total WRITE/ low pulse of 250ns. 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 isset 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 sametime it is required to make sure that the control circuits are in sync with the386EX, 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, firstCLK_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 anexternal peripheral can generate the READY/ signal. There are 2 conditionsunder which an external READY/ signal can be generated. First was any accessto the LCD controller or memory, and second, when a HALT instruction isexecuted. The software programs 2 wait states for any access to the LCDcontroller and each access is terminated after the WAIT# signal from the 1354returns high. The WAIT# signal is connected to pin 141 of the FPGA. Theother remaining circuit requiring and external READY/ is when a HALTinstruction 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/. ThisREADY/ 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 and75. The CLK2_40MHZ is the 40 MHz internal clock for the FPGA. A 20 MHzclock enters the FPGA on pin 158, this signal is generated by the 386EX. Thissignal called PHI1-FPGA will be used in the LCD control circuit.

14.17.13 RTC/DUART STATE MACHINE
Interfacing to the DUART and RTC requires slowing down the signals. A 20state machine is implemented to interface to these circuits. The state machinealways starts up when ADSB/ is low and CLK_PH1 is high. The RTC1AFF isset high on the rising edge of the master clock, CLK2_40MHZ. If the RTC orDUART 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_40MHZrising edge, while the remaining flops are clocked on the rising edge ofCLK_PH1, which occurs at the beginning of each state. The time between therising edges of this clock is 50 ns. The total time for the state machine is 1000ns (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 RTCfor 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. TheRTC has a multiplexed address/data bus, and, therefore, requires that the bi-directional data bus be tri-stated while the address is enabled to the RTC. TheENDTABFR signal is disabled high if the RTC is selected. It is jammed high bythe ENDTARTCAND gate which ands RTC_SEL/ low and RTCS8 low.ENDTABFR goes low at the start of state 9 by anding RTCS9 low and RTCS8high. During the time ENDTABFR is high, the address is enabled byRTC_ADREN/, which is generated when RTCS2 is high and while RTCS8 islow. At this same time RTC_ALE is generated between states 1 and 5, latchingthe address into the RTC. When state 9 is reached, either a read or writehappens, depending on the state of the WR/ and RD/ signals. The READ_RTCis generated between the states 9 and 20, while WRITE_RTC is generatedbetween 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 theRTC_ALE signal to latch the address. Next, the data buffer must be enabled inthe 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) isused for both. The base address is used to program UART channel 0, and thebase address + 80 hex is used to program UART channel 1. This decoding isdone under the DUART control section and the 2 chip selects (DURT0_CS andDURT1_CS). The software programs 2 wait states for the DUART. TheREAD_DUART signal is generated from the state machine states 1 to 3, shuttingoff in state 4. This gives a 150 ns read pulse. The write pulse is generated fromstates 1 to2, shutting off in state 3, generating a 100 ns write pulse. This gives a50 ns hold time on the data to the DUART.

14.17.16 FREQUENCY GENERATOR
The master clock in, generates 2 internal signals, CLK_PH1 and CLK_PH2, bothof which are 20 MHz clocks 180 degrees out of phase with each other. TheCLK_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 tothe DUART controller as its master clock. 313 kHz is used by the NIBP PWMcircuits. The 156 kHz and 78 kHz are used by the speaker frequency generatingcircuit.
14.17.17 LCD CONTROL
The LCD CONTROL circuit generates the control signals for the SED1354, theyare RD_WR/, RD/, WR0/, WR1/, and CS/.
The RD/ is generated by anding BLEB/ with RDB/. The output signal is calledLCD_LRD/. This signal comes from pin 59 of the FPGA and goes to pin 7 ofthe 1354.
The RD_WR/ is generated by anding BHEB/ with RD/. The output signal iscalled LCD_URD/. This signal comes from pin 60 of the FPGA and goes to pin10 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/. Thereason for the delay is to ensure that data out of the 386 is valid and to meet themaximum delay from WR0/ low to data valid of the 1354. The flip flop willbecome cleared when ADS/ goes low for the start of the next cycle. The outputsignal is called LCD_LWR/. This signal comes from pin 56 of the FPGA andgoes 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/. Thereason for the delay is to ensure that data out of the 386 is valid and to meet themaximum delay from WR0/ low to data valid of the 1354. The flip flop willbecome cleared when ADS/ goes low for the start of the next cycle. The outputsignal is called LCD_UWR/. This signal comes from pin 58 of the FPGA andgoes to pin 9 of the 1354.
CS/ is essentially generated by “or’ing” LCD_CNTL_SEL/ withLCD_MEM_SEL/. The First flip flop will become set when ADS/ andPHI1_FPGA are both low to indicate the start of a cycle The Second flip flopwill get set when LCD_CNTL_SEL/ or LCD_MEM_SEL/ is low and the Firstflip flop is set. The Third flip flop will get set 25 ns after the Second. Thereason 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 untilLCD_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 goesto pin 4 of the 1354.

14.17.18 READ BACK MULTIPLEXER
A read back multiplexer allows the software to read back programmed and statussignals from the FPGA. Register assignments are as follows:
1. PUMP/VALVE PWM 300 HEX2. CONTRAST PWM 302 HEX, not used3. SPEAKER HIGH VALUE 304 HEX4. SPEAKER LOW VALUE 306 HEX5. CONTROL REG 308 HEX6. PUSH BUTTON STATUS 30A HEX7. KNOB/MISC STATUS 30C HEX8. MISC STATUS 30E HEX
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 widthmodulated signal which drives the pump on the POWER SUPPLY board. Afterthe pump has inflated the cuff, this same circuit is used to control opening thevalve to let the air out of the cuff. The pump PWM signal exits on pin 4 and thevalve PWM exits on pin 132. The enable for these 2 output buffers areprogrammed in the control register and are mutually exclusive.
The software loads a value into the 8 bit holding register. The counter is clockedby a 313 kHz clock and on all the time. When the counter overflows, the valuein the holding register is loaded into the counter synchronously with the 313 kHzclock. The counter operates as a count up then count down circuit, alwaysgenerating the same frequency, but with different duty cycles. Once a value isloaded into the counter, the counter counts up until it overflows. IfPUMP_PWM_GO is true, then the PUMP_PWM_FF is output on pin 3. Whenthe counter overflows, the PUMP_PWM_FF changes state, and the counter isreloaded with the holding register’s value. Now the counter counts down until itunderflows, at which time, the flip flop changes state, the holding register’svalue is reloaded and counting continues in the up direction. Since the samevalue is loaded each time, the total time for a count up and a count down is 313kHz divided by 255, and, therefore, the signal frequency remains the same. Theduty cycle changes as the software programs the holding register, thus allowingfor a fully OFF to a fully ON signal with intermediate steps at a 3.2 usresolution.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-35
14.17.20 SPEAKER HIGH AND LOW CONTROL
The speaker requires tones from about 300 Hz to 1 kHz with a 55 percent dutycycle. In order to give software full control over both the frequency and dutycycle, there are 2 software programmable 8 bit up counters, one for generatingthe low portion of the TONE_OUT and one for generating the high portion. TheTONE_OUT flip flop is jammed reset when the FREQ_GO bit in the controlregister is low. This enables the SPEAKER LOW counter. The softwareprograms the high and low values into the respective holding registers, then setsthe FREQ_GO bit. The TONE_OUT on pin 93 is low, and remains low untilthe SPEAKER LOW counter overflows, which sets the TONE_OUT high andloads the SPEAKER HIGH counter. This counter now increments until itoverflows, which now sets the TONE_OUT signal low and reloads theSPEAKER LOW counter. This process continues until the software turns off theTONE_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 controlbits. These 8 bits are programmable and can be read back via the read backmultiplexer.
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 havebeen mentioned above and are used to control the pump control signal forinflating 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 thespeaker counting registers. When low 156 kHz is selected and when high 313kHz is selected. The 156 kHz is required so we can generate the low tones withthe 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 thespeaker. 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 CathodeFluorescent) backlight ON and OFF. Setting this bit high turns the backlight onand setting this bit low turns the backlight off.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-36
14.17.21.5 FE_CLK_EN BIT
Bit 5 is the FE_CLK_EN which stands for the front end clock enable bit. Thisbit enables the 200 kHz signal to the front end power supply transformer. Thesoftware has control over the front end power supply via this bit. The majorreason for having this bit is to reset the front end by turning the power OFF, thenON again via this bit.
14.17.21.6 PROG_EN BIT
Bit 6 is the program enable bit for reprogramming or storing data in theexecutable FLASH. This bit when high enables the +3.3 volts DC onto theprogramming bit of the FLASH. This allows data to be written into the FLASHby 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. Itholds the A/D converter in reset state until this bit is set low. This bit exits theFPGA via pin 162.
14.17.22 STXCLK and ADCS/ CIRCUITS
The A/D converter has a synchronous serial interface (SSIO) to the 386EX. The3 signals are transmit data, receive data, and clock. When the SSIO port in the386EX is programmed and activated, it operates in an unusual manner. If newdata is not ready after a transmission, the serial unit will transmit the same dataover again. The solution is to generate the synchronous serial clock in the FPGArather than the 386EX SSIO unit. The TIMER0’S output is routed to the FPGAon pin 95 and enables a 25 kHz clock which goes out on pin 134. This is themaster synchronous serial clock and is routed to the A/D converter and the386EX SSIO unit. The 386EX SSIO unit is programmed as a slave for the serialclock and thus when it receives the serial clock from the FPGA it starts enablingdata onto the transmit line, and receives data on the receive line. The A/Dconverter receives 16 clocks and then asserts its EOC signal which comes in onpin 43. This turns off the serial clock and it doesn’t turn on again until the nexttick from the timer. (The serial clock can also be turned off by setting theADCS_RESET bit in the CONTROL Register of the FPGA.) This same timertick is routed to the 386EX DMA unit and a new piece of data is transferred tothe SSIO unit in a waiting buffer. After the present data is transmitted, the newdata is loaded into the transmit register and is ready for transmission on the nexttimer tick. This solves the problem of the SSIO unit retransmitting data.
Section 14: Main Color Board Digital Theory of Operation
14-37
14.17.23 SYNC_ALARM CIRCUIT
The power supply board requires a 50 kHz signal to generate the variousvoltages in the system. A 100 kHz, 50 percent duty cycle signal is programmedin the 386EX TIMER 1 unit. It enters the FPGA on pin 119 and is divided by 2to 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 shouldtime out the WDTDETFF flip flop is set and disables the 50 kHzSYNC_ALARM signal from going to the power supply, which will generate anEARLEY WARNING signal to the 386EX and then shut off power to the mainboard.
14.17.24 FE_CLK_100KHZ
This circuit feeds the 100 kHz clock from TIMER1 to pin 129 to the front endfor its power supply. It is enabled by FE_CLK_EN from the CONTROLREGISTER as described earlier. The 100 kHz is not divided, the TIMER1counter must be set into a mode which produces a 50 percent duty cycle squarewave.
14.17.25 KNOB ROTATION DETECT
The rotating knob on the front of the unit has an optical interface. Five volts aresupplied to it and it generates 2 signal channels (A and B) which are input to theFPGA on pins 163 and 164. When the knob rotates clockwise the square waveon CHANNEL A leads the square wave on CHANNEL B by 90 degrees. Whenrotating counter clockwise, CHANNEL B leads CHANNEL A by 90 degrees.This circuit exclusively ors the channels and generates an edge each time achannel input changes state. One flip flop is set on the rising edge and another isset on the trailing edge. These 2 flip flops are or’ed together and exit on pin 100,which is for debugging purposes only. The software polls the status register andif the KNOB INTERRUPT is high in bit 7 of hex address 30A, software readsthe status of the 2 input channels in bits 4 and 5 of the same register. Softwarekeeps track of these bits and can determine which one changes first to determinethe direction. The software to keep up with the knob rotation and in whichdirection it is turning.

15.1 OVERVIEW
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 voltsRMS, 47-63 Hz). Provides safety line isolation, and produces 18 voltsDC 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 MainsSupply (18 volts DC). Provides a tailored charging profile for theNPB-4000/C lead-acid, 3-cell battery. Includes current limiting andtemperature compensated float voltage. Maximum output, 7 volts DC at3.5 amps (24.5 watts).
System Power Supply - Accepts input from the internal NPB-4000/Cbattery (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 totaloutput power is 25 watts distributed among the four outputs. This peakpower occurs only briefly during NIBP pump and printer operation.Typical output power is about 8 watts.

15.2 AC MAINS FLYBACK POWER SUPPLY
Section 15: Drawings
15-3
15.2.1 Overview
The AC (mains) power supply accepts 90 to 264 volts RMS at 47 to 63 Hz andprovides 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) andbecomes the dominant source to the charger when both external AC and DC arepresent.
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 andtransferred to a load during switching cycles. In the first part of the cycle, theswitch is closed, the input voltage is applied to the inductor, and current buildslinearly. 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 inductornow depletes into the load.
In the NPB-4000/C power supply, the inductor is a transformer which providesboth 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 inputand has EMI filtering, rectification, and capacitive storage to provide 100 to 350
Section 15: Drawings
15-4
volts DC to the flyback circuit. A control IC runs the FET switch, while thetransformer (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/Cpower supply PC board, plus an on- board filter consisting of an L1common-mode choke with C1 and C2 as X capacitors and C7 and C8 as Ycapacitors. Resistor R1 bleeds off any residual voltage on C1 and C2 after theconnection to input AC is broken. Surge Limiter R16 limits the initial currentthrough 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. Diodebridge D1 rectifies the incoming AC to produce a DC voltage from 100 to 350volts DC at C3.
15.2.4 Controller
The input controller (U1) is a two-loop (current and voltage) controller thatforms a fixed frequency variable duty cycle PWM flyback power supply byoperating the main switching FET Q1 to regulate the voltage across C12.Controller U1 draws minimal current before operation starts. Initial controllerpower builds up on C4 from the current supplied by R14 and R15. When U1begins to operate (at about 10 volts DC), the primary tap (T1, pin 3) suppliespower through D4 for the controller. The primary tap also creates the voltage onC12 which is regulated by the controller to 11 volts DC. The transformersecondary is indirectly regulated by turns ratio and magnetic coupling to provideabout 18 volts DC.
Resistor R11 and capacitor C14 set the fixed operating frequency (about 100kHz) of the converter. Current loop feedback enters the controller from currentshunt 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 controllerreaches 1.1 volts. The current waveform is filtered by R8 and C15 to drive theISENSE input of the controller. Feed-forward resistor R13 provides a bias thatlowers the current limit setpoint as the primary input voltage rises . Thecontroller voltage error amplifier works with an internal 2.5 volt reference toregulate the voltage at pin 2 at 2.5 volts. Attenuator R10 and R12 scale the11 volts DC down to 2.5 volts DC for the error amplifier. Error amplifiercompensation is provided by C11, C17, and R9.
15.2.5 Power Devices
The switching FET is driven through R4 (to eliminate the possibility of bipolarlatch-up of the output stage). Leakage inductance energy from the transformerprimary is caught by D2 and C9, and dissipated in R2. Capacitor C16 andresistor R7 help to damp spurious ringing and lower EMI radiation.
The transformer output is rectified and filtered by D5 and C18. Capacitor C10and resistor R17 serve to damp output leakage inductance ringing.

15.3 BATTERY CHARGER
15.3.1 Overview
The NPB-4000/C power supply contains a battery charger circuit that acceptsDC input from either the isolated AC mains flyback circuit or an externallysupplied DC input (10 to 16 volts DC). The output of the battery chargerprovides a current limited, voltage regulated, temperature compensated output tocharge 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 abuck converter (which provides a reduced, or bucked, output voltage) a seriesswitch applies the input voltage to the output through an inductor. When theinductor current has built to a level sufficient to satisfy the load, the switch isopened. The current flowing in the inductor causes the input lead to fly downuntil it is caught by the catch diode at a voltage slightly below ground. Theinductor current then diminishes until the switching cycle is repeated.
The battery charger receives input DC either from the external DC supply (10 to14 volts) or the AC main supply which provides 18 volts DC. Dual diode D5essentially acts as an OR gate, allowing the highest voltage to charge C18. Thusthe 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 U2will begin operation when the available input voltage is above 9 volts DC. Thefrequency of PWM operation (about 100 kHz) is set by R26 and C22. CapacitorC69 charges slowly and provides soft start operation by slowly raising thecurrent limit of the controller by clamping the COMP pin through D35.
Section 15: Drawings
15-6
Switch current information comes from current transformer T2 that provides acurrent through R29, which is 1/100 of the main switch current . Thus 1 voltacross R29 represents 3.4 amps of switch current. The current waveform is fedthrough an RC filter (R20, C23) to the controller. The controller limits theoutput current when the ISNS pin reaches about 1.1 volts, or about 3.5 ampsaverage output current.
15.4.2 Float Voltage Regulation
When not in current limit, the controller regulates the VFBK pin to +2.5 voltsbased on an internal reference. Resistors R25 and R28 attenuate the outputvoltage to 2.5 volts DC. The thermistor R52 in series with R51 provides voltagesetpoint modulation based on the thermistor resistance. The nominal regulatedvoltage setpoint at 25˚C is 7.05 volts DC. With a 3-cell battery, the nominalcharged cell voltage is thus 2.35 volts at 25˚C. The temperature compensationof the battery charger adjusts the output voltage to match (three times) therecommended 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 compensationfor the voltage error amplifier.
15.4.3 Drive Translator
The switch control output of the controller does not drive the buck switchdirectly, but through the inverting driver U3. The series buck switch isP-channel FET Q2. The switch is on when the gate is pulled down towardground from the DC input rail. Because the gate voltage rating is limited to15 volts, and the charger input voltage (DCSRC) may exceed 18 volts, we haveadded a driver voltage regulator consisting of emitter follower Q5 with ZenerD9, which keeps the voltage from driver U3 limited to 12 volts under all inputvoltage conditions. Diode D7 couples the switch control signal from thecontroller to the driver.
15.5 POWER DEVICES
The switch connects the input source to inductor L3 through current transformerT2 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 andapplied directly to the battery. The series section of diode D10 has been added
Section 15: Drawings
15-7
to the basic buck-converter diagram to prevent back driving of the circuit fromthe battery when not charging. Diode D20 acts as a lightweight "catch" diode forthe small inductance of the current transformer.
15.6 MISCELLANEOUS CONTROL
The voltage regulation attenuator R28/R25 loads the battery when the circuit isnot powered, so voltage sensing of the output voltage occurs using Q6 as aswitch to connect attenuator resistor R28 to the output voltage. When thecontroller 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 dutycycle exceeds 50 percent because of the flattening of the effective outputinductor current slope. The classic method of solving this problem is called"slope compensation" whereby an enhancing slope is summed with the inductorcurrent slope. Slope compensation is applied here by emitter follower Q4 whichinjects 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 isnon-isolated, runs from a DC input of 5.2 to 7.5 volts, and produces multipleoutput voltages.
The main switching FET (Q8) in the system supply requires +12 volts gate drivefor low on resistance (efficient operation), so the controller IC (U4) is poweredfrom 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 voltageuntil supply operation has commenced. When the /PWRUP signal goes low, thestartup sequence begins. Transistor Q12 goes on, providing the battery voltageto doubler U5. Doubler U5 is a dual-inverting power driver, and one section actsas an oscillator with negative feedback provided through R44 and C41. Theoutput of the oscillator (/OUTA) is applied to the second inverting driver sectionresulting in the /OUTB signal. Capacitor C68 provides positive feedbackhysteresis to ensure consistent high duty cycle oscillation . When /OUTB is low,C39 is charged to the battery voltage through R42 and D19. When /OUTB ishigh, the top of C39 is at twice the battery voltage and dumps its charge into C30through D16. In a brief period, C30 will have built up enough voltage forcontroller U4 to start, and thereafter U4 receives its power from the +12 voltsystem output through D16.
15.7.2 Controller
The oscillator in U4 runs at about 40 kHz, set by C37 and R39. When the entiresystem is running, an external 50 kHz sync pulse is applied to C45, whichcreates a pulse on R47 to synchronize supply operation to the external signal.Capacitor C34 charges slowly and provides soft start operation by slowly raisingthe current limit of the controller by clamping the COMP pin through D18.
Section 15: Drawings
15-8
Controller U4 is a two-loop controller, current and voltage. Input currentinformation is supplied by transformer T4 which with its 100:1 turns ratioproduces 1 volt across R31 at 15.4 amps of peak switch current. Current limit isestablished by U4 at 1.1 volts or 17 amps peak. This peak current equates toabout 5 amps maximum average input current.
The voltage loop of U4 regulates the +3.3 volt output through attenuator R41 andR40 which provides 2.5 volts at U4, pin 2. The internal U4 reference and erroramplifier regulates this voltage, while C35 and gain limiter R38 provide loopcompensation.
15.7.3 Power Devices
Controller U4 drives the switching FET Q8 through R37 (to prevent bipolar latchup of U4). The switching FET builds current in the system transformer,monitored by current transformer T4. When the main FET shuts off, C32 andR36 provide rise-time limitation and leakage inductance snubbing. Leakagecurrent energy is caught by D17 and transferred to C25/C33. Transistor Q7 actsas 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, +3.3and -24 volts DC. The -24-volt winding has snubbing (R35, C31) to dampsecondary leakage inductance ringing.
15.7.4 Control Circuits
The system supply is turned ON and OFF by the PWRUP/ signal that controlsQ11 and Q12. The supply is started when Q12 turns on, powering the voltagedoubler to start the controller. When the supply turns OFF, the voltage doubleris 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 ACis connected to the unit and charging is underway. The DC input to the chargerpowers comparator U14. When there is no external DC input (DCIN is low), thecomparator output is low. The low output turns on Q29, which powers theMAINS 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 showswhen external DC is connected to the unit and charging is underway from thissource. When external DC is the source for the charger input voltage, thesection 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 drivesthe MAINS LED through emitter follower Q23.
Section 15: Drawings
15-9
Neither LED is driven until CVREF is up, indicating that sufficient power isreaching the charger.
15.9 POWER SUPPLY CONTROL LOGIC
When the battery is initially attached to the power supply, an R/C circuitproduces a single positive pulse (PWRRST) which ensures that the power andalarm circuits are initially OFF.
15.9.1 ON/OFF Control
The NPB-4000/C system power supply is turned ON and OFF by alternatepushes of a membrane switch on the front panel. This membrane switch ispulled 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 powersupply ON/OFF control signal. The ON signal from U8 (pin 1) produces a briefpositive 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 golow. While the system supply is running, U12 (pin 2) will also be low. Thesetwo low levels cause U12 (pin 3) to be low, which removes the RESET conditionfrom oscillator/divider U10. Oscillator U10 will begin to oscillate and willproduce a positive edge on its Q14 output after about 1 second. This edge willclock 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 theactual OFF action is called the early warning delay. This delay period allows theprocessor on the Main Board to store data and make a graceful shutdown beforesystem power is lost. The power supply provides an early warning signal to theMain 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 thePSOFF line (active low), which produces a high level on U12 (pin 5). Theresulting high on U8 (pin 10) directly shuts off system power. In general, theprocessor has two reasons for shutting power down: either to truncate an earlywarning 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, butwill move up to 50 kHz operation with an external clock signal. The externalsync signal from the processor drives Q16, which produces a 5-volt signal on itscollector that synchronizes the main supply through C45.
Section 15: Drawings
15-10
15.10 ALARM SECTION
15.10.1 Alarm Control
When the supply is first turned on, R82 tries to charge C54. During the 300-500milliseconds charge-up time, it is expected that the supply will come intooperation, and the processor board will return sync pulses. The sync pulse willdrive 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 soundingalarm. The flip flop is reset by PWRRST, or by a push of the front panelSILENCE 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
The power supply mechanical assembly holds the blood pressure pump andshield. The power supply contains circuitry that allows logic level control of thepump power from the processor board. For single point fault protection, thepump requires two signals (PUMPON and PVENB) to activate the pump. ThePUMPON signal (when high) turns on the N-channel FET section of U15, whichpulls the bottom lead of the motor to ground. The PVENB signal, through leveltranslator Q19, turns on the P channel section of U15, which pulls the top motorlead to VBATT.
Diode D32, capacitor C46, and resistor R77 provide noise control during motoroperation.
15.12 SAFETY DEVICES
A number of safety devices serve to limit the severity of fault-induced problems.
• Fuse-Limited AC high input lead• Fuse-Limited AC Low input lead• Fuse-Limited external DC input lead• Fuse-Limited VBATT lead for system supply operation• Polyswitch® (self-resetting fuse) protected VBATSNS lead for control
logic and Main Board usage• Two signals and two paths required to activate the NIBP pump• Short-circuit protected AC Mains Supply• Short-circuit protected charger• Short-circuit protected system supply (current-limiting and three
polyswitches)• Alarm sound if processor fails
Section 15: Drawings
15-11
15.12.1 Watchdog Shutoff
Another shutdown path exists for the system supply . When the system supplybegins operation, PWRUP goes high, which begins to charge C49 through R65.Eventually (0.5 second), C49 will charge up (through U12) and the systemsupply will shut off.
The way that the supply is kept running is through the receipt of aSYNC/ALARM pulse from the processor board. This 50 kHz square wave fromthe processor has two purposes: it synchronizes the switching frequency of thesystem power supply, and its absence indicates a time-out of the watch dog timerin the processor section. Transistor Q16 produces a 5-volt pulse for synching thesupply, and the periodic pulsing allows Q15 to keep C49 discharged. If the syncpulse disappears, the system supply will keep running for a while (based on itsown R/C oscillator), but the rising voltage on C49 will shut the unit down in afew hundred milliseconds.

16.3 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This section provides service personnel with an explanation of the circuitoperation for the oximetry module. The text is supported with a schematicdiagram, 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. Thisconnector includes the power supplied by the host monitor, a serial interfaceport, and two hardware control lines. The power required by the oximetrymodule is +5 volts (digital) and ±5 volts (analog).
Other than supply voltages provided to the module from the power supply, thereare five data signals present at the module connection to the monitor, seeFigure 17-1.
CTS* clear to send is a logic signal (active low)transmitted to the module by the monitor tosuspend data transmission from the module.
EXT_RESET* an asynchronous input (active low) from themonitor to effect a reset in the oximetry module;CR3 provides a voltage protection from the power-on 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) transmittedto the oximetry module, via the host instrument,from an external ECG monitor. The rising edge ofthis pulse is used by the module to satisfy thesoftware requirements necessary to perform pulserecognition 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 oximetrymodule PCB.
16.6 Oxichip Circuit
At the heart of the oximetry module is the U1 Oxichip™ integrated circuit, whichprovides variable LED drive, photodetector amplification, variable gain,demodulation, filtering, and signal conditioning for the analog-to-digitalconverter (ADC) input. The Oxichip circuit generates its own LED modulationand photodetector demodulation timing. It requires only a single clock at8-times the desired LED switching frequency. A block diagram of the Oxichipcircuit is shown on Figure 17-2.
In the following discussion, parts that are internal to the Oxichip circuit are notedwith a "U1." prefix.
Section 16: MP-205 Service Manual; 044540A-0296
16-3
16.7 Preamp
The current-to-voltage (I-to-V) converter has a gain of -249 K V/A and alow-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 isdisconnected from the I-to-V converter during LED switching transients toprevent transmission of the switching spikes into the programmable gainamplifier (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 cycleand has a closed-loop frequency response of 240 Hz. It can cancel up to 36microamps of DC photocurrent. The response time to a change in LED drive isless 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 signalstrengths. As the PGA amplifies the signal from the preamp by a programmablegain, the demodulator shifts the frequency down to baseband, while thedemultiplexer separates the IR and Red components of the signal. The PGA hasa programmable gain from 1 to 128 in powers of 2.
The PGA output goes to the peak detectors for status monitoring and to thedemodulator/demultiplexer (U1A5, which is internal to the Oxichip circuit) forsignal processing.
There are two peak detectors: one detects positive peaks (above the 2.2-voltsreference) and one detects negative peaks, or valleys (below the 2.2-voltsreference). This measurement point is referred to as COMPARE2, or C2. Thepeak 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 impedancechanges as the voltage on the diode changes. The charging time constant islimited to no faster than 20.8 microseconds. The decay time constant is 19.8milliseconds.
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 signaland get it ready for conversion to a digital signal, thereby smoothing out the Redand IR signal from the demultiplexer. The gain of the Red filter circuit is eight,while the gain of the IR filter circuit is five.
Section 16: MP-205 Service Manual; 044540A-0296
16-4
The Red filter circuit components consist of U1A6-8, R19–21, R31, R34–37,C22, C29–30, and C37–38. The IR filter circuit components consist ofU1A10-12, R22–24, R32–33, R38–40, C23–24, C31–32, and C39. The IR filteris 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 levelshifter (U1A9) selects the desired signal and shifts the signal reference from 2.2volts reference to ground, or 0 volts. This circuit has a gain of two and anintentional offset of 80–120 millivolts at the output.
16.10 LED Driver
The LED driver circuit generates regulated and programmable currents fordriving the sensor LED’s. The circuit switches the currents in the proper phasesof the LED strobe cycle. The IR and Red currents can be programmedindependently. The LED currents are generated by forcing aprogrammable-voltage across R9, then switching the resulting current throughthe LED’s.
The LED driver is almost entirely contained within the Oxichip U1 circuit. Thisdriver also has an over-current detection feature that shuts down all LED drive ifthe average current exceeds 44 milliamps. The over-current trip level is set bypassing the LED current through R10 and C9 and comparing the voltage drop toVDD-0.3 volts. Components CR5 and CR6 serve as ESD-protection diodes. SeeFigure 17-2.
16.10.1 References
There are three voltage references on the Oxichip U1 circuit. The 3.125 voltreference is used for Rcal stimulus and the high resolution A/D converterreference. It is a low-impedance output. The 2.2 volt buffered reference is usedas the signal ground for the photodetector cathode and is a low-impedanceoutput. 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 theOxichip U1 circuit and external components R45 and C44. The Schmitt Triggersupplies an active high reset to the processor on RST. Diode CR2 protects theOxichip circuit from the discharge of C44.
16.12 High Resolution A/D Converter
The oximetry module uses a crystal semiconductor CS5102A 16-bit A/Dconverter for the conversion of the filtered optical signals and for RCALmeasurement. 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 R18and C13. The Rcal filter circuit consists of R17, C20 and C21.
Section 16: MP-205 Service Manual; 044540A-0296
16-5
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 tooperate properly. All of the proper timing sequences are provided by the statemachine, the OXICLK signal, within the Oxichip U1 circuit. The state machinerequires 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. Analogfiltering 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 circuitgain settings is through the data bus and the control lines CS* and LE.

16.20.1 Measurement Range/AccuracyRangeSaturation: 1 - 100%Pulse Rate: 20 - 250 beats per minute (bpm)AccuracySpO2 1
Adults: 70 - 100% ±2 digits0 - 69% unspecified
Neonates: 70 - 100% ±3 digitsPulse Rate 20 - 250 bpm ±3 bpm
1 Accuracies are expressed as ± “X” digits (saturation % points) betweensaturations of 70 and 100 percent. This variation equals ± one standarddeviation (1SD), which encompasses 68 percent of the population. All accuracyspecifications are based on testing the subject monitor on healthy adultvolunteers in induced hypoxia studies across the specified range. Adult accuracyis determined with Oxisensor® II D-25 sensors. Neonatal accuracy isdetermined with Oxisensor II N-25 sensors. In addition, the neonatal accuracyspecification is adjusted to take into account the theoretical effect of fetalhemoglobin in neonatal blood on oximetry measurements.

16.20.2 Measurement Conditions
SpO2 and pulse rate accuracy specifications apply under the followingconditions:
• Electrosurgical apparatus not used• Patient free of injected intravascular dyes• Insignificant concentration of carboxyhemoglobin and
methemoglobin• Sensor at a temperature between 28º C and 42ºC• External illumination less than 5,000 lumens/square meter (typical
office lighting)• Response mode set at Mode 1
