Table 21.  Miscellaneous Signals 
Signal Name   BALL  Pullup/ 
Pulldown 
Description 
nMCRST/nINCMD (O)  L12  N/A  Mode Code Reset or In-command.  
 
The function of this pin is controlled by bit 19 of “RT_GCFG” (RT Global 
Configuration) register. 
 
When RT_GCFG = ‘0’, nMCRST / nINCMD functions as nINCMD. 
nINCMD is asserted low to frame the time that a message is being processed 
by the Total-AceXtreme. 
 
When RT_GCFG = ‘1’,  - nMCRST / nINCMD functions as nMCRST. 
In RT mode, nMCRST is asserted low for two CLOCK_IN clock cycles (50 ns) 
following receipt of a Reset remote terminal mode command. 
 
In BC-only or Monitor-only modes, this signal is inoperative; i.e., in this case, it 
will always output a value of logic ‘1’.  
 
In addition, nMCRST/nINCMD will also assert low during the time that the 
Total-AceXtreme is performing its logic self-test. Therefore, nMCRST/nINCMD 
can be monitored to determine when this self-test has been completed. 
DISABLE_BIST (I)  C13  50k 
Pulldown 
If this input is set to logic ‘0’, the Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) will be enabled after 
hardware reset (for example, following the low-to-high transition of nPOR 
following power-up). A logic ‘1’ input disables both the power-up and user-
initiated automatic BIST.  
TX_INH_A (I)  P13  50k Pullup  Transmitter inhibit inputs for Channel A and Channel B, MIL-STD-1553 
transmitters. For normal operation, these inputs should be connected to logic 
‘0’. To force a shutdown of Channel A and/or Channel B, a value of logic ‘1’ 
should be applied to the respective TX_INH input.  
TX_INH_B (I)  P14  50k Pullup 
IRIG_DIG_IN (I)  N14  50k Pullup  Digital IRIG-B time code input supporting 48-bit time-tags.  
 
Digital IRIG data is read once per second.  
IRIG Time can be used as the Time-Tag instead of the local timer.  
nINT (O)  P2 
Interrupt Request output.  
 
The operation of nINT is programmable by means of the CPU Interrupt Pin 
Control R
egister. This register is only accessible via the CPU Interface, not the 
PCI interface. The user-programmable parameters for nINT include: 
 
(1)  Open-drain or TTL output  
(2)  Active high or low 
(3)  Pulse or level 
(4)  For the case of a pulse interrupt, the pulse width is programmable. The 
pulse width may be programmed for a value between 3 and 65,537 clock 
cycles. The clock used for formulating the nINT pulse width will be the 
Total-AceXtreme’s internal 160 MHz clock for the Asynchronous CPU 
interface mode, and the HOST_CLK for the Synchronous CPU interface 
CLOCK_IN (I)   A8  None  40 MHz clock input (MIL-STD-1553 bus clock)
