6.10.4 Disabling P-Channel and Q-Channel Safety Mechanisms
The FMU_SMEN register cannot disable the P-Channel and Q-Channel Safety Mechanisms.
However, they can be disabled during design time.
During design time, you can use one of the following methods to disable these SMs:
•
To disable specific P-Channel and Q-Channel SMs:
◦ On the P-Channel interfaces for which you want to disable protection, tie the preqn_chk
signal to the value of the !preqn signal.
◦ On the Q-Channel interfaces for which you want to disable protection, tie the qreqn_chk
signal to the value of the !qreqn signal.
•
To disable all P-Channel and Q-Channel SMs in the GIC-600AE, set
FUSA_DISABLE_PQCHAN_PROT=1. For a list of the SMs that FMU_SMEN cannot disable, see
6.2.5.1 Enabling or disabling a Safety Mechanism on page 202.
6.10.5 P-Channel
This section contains information for P-Channel protection.
6.10.5.1 P-Channel signaling
