Embodiment
See also Fig. 1, it is the circuit block diagram of the synchronizing circuit that is applied to a plurality of microprocessors proposed by the invention.In Fig. 1, synchronizing circuit 10 mainly is that wherein init state indicating circuit 11 is to be made up of resistance R 1 and lead by a plurality of microprocessors (being three microprocessors in this example) MCU1~3 and 11 formations of an init state indicating circuit.
Each microprocessor all has a frequency signal end, a reset signal end, a control end and an indication port end.With microprocessor MCU1 is example; The frequency signal termination is received a frequency signal Clk_g; The reset signal termination is received reset signal reset; Control end sends a control signal or receives a reaction signal matrix area 1, and indication port end Port S then provides a voltage whether to accomplish initialization with indication microprocessor MCU1.
The function mode of synchronizing circuit 10 is following:
When system power supply was opened, after all microprocessors waited for that reset signal reset removes, beginning was reset and initialization separately.Reset and initialization among, each microprocessor is that indication port end Port S is pulled to low-voltage, lets other microprocessor in the system know that this microprocessor do not accomplish initialization as yet and fail operate as normal by this.And after this microprocessor was accomplished replacement and initialization, it just can decontrol indication port end Port S, waited for that the voltage of indication port end Port S becomes high voltage, and all then microprocessors just begin to execute instruction according to the frequency signal Clk_g of universe.At this moment, all collaborative works synchronously with one another of all microprocessors in the system.According to the data of each microprocessor that system designer is distributed to, export control signal or receive its reaction signal for the matrix area of being responsible for.
What deserves to be mentioned is that indication port end Port S is to open drain electrode port (open-drain port), to reach above-mentioned function.Yet when same microprocessor not needing to be applied in the synchronous system, indication port end Port S can be decided to be another general input/output terminal according to a functional menu (option table); That is to say that microprocessor need not design the IO port of a synchronization dedicated.
See also Fig. 2, it is the circuit block diagram of microprocessor one preferred embodiment proposed by the invention.In Fig. 2, microprocessor 20 mainly is to be made up of AND logic gate 21 and 22, OR logic gate 23 and 24 in transistor.
Below when cooperating Fig. 2, its internal actions mode is described.
See also Fig. 3, it is the action flow chart of the microprocessor of Fig. 2.As shown in Figure 3, after system power supply starts, open the drain electrode port and be preset to startup and reduce to electronegative potential, then the download function menu.Functional menu read finish after, whether microprocessor can use and hold the drain electrode port and drive according to setting decision.
(i) be general IO port if decision is set, then continue and reset and initialization action, and after initialization was accomplished, microprocessor also can be according to each item function of normal procedure executive routine.
If (ii) decision is set to opening the drain electrode port, microprocessor will not change setting, the initialization action that continues, and after initialization was accomplished, microprocessor then can be waited for when the voltage of holding the drain electrode port is promoted to high voltage, each item function of the executive routine that just continues.
Owing to open the characteristic of drain electrode port, as long as arbitrary microprocessor of parallel connection is not decontroled out the voltage of drain electrode port, then the init state indicating circuit just can not be promoted to high voltage, and total system just can not get into mode of operation yet.Therefore, if there is arbitrary microprocessor to take place will indicate unusually and not port to decontrol in the system, total system just will be stopped.
To problems such as fault eliminating or production test, the mode that a kind of system of essential design detects.Because the indication port on all microprocessors is to be connected in parallel; Which microprocessor generation problem can't use simple electron measuring mode to learn is; Therefore propose a kind of error detection method, Fig. 4 is the process flow diagram of the error detection method of microprocessor proposed by the invention.
As shown in Figure 4, whether after system power supply starts, it is overtime then to detect error detection by counter; If, then represent mistake to produce, promptly the stop frequency signal and begin the test; If not, then whether all be in the preparation, whether carried out the synergistic function of all microprocessors with decision according to all microprocessors.
See also Fig. 5, it is the circuit block diagram in order to error detection circuit one preferred embodiment of the error detection method of execution graph 4.Can find out that by Fig. 5 error detection circuit 50 mainly is to be made up of counter 51, reverser 52 and 53 of AND logic gates.
See also Fig. 6, it is the circuit block diagram in order to test circuit one preferred embodiment of the error detection method of collocation Fig. 4.When error detection circuit 50 was reported mistake, system will utilize the lifting circuit of other one group of test, came to judge one by one whether each microprocessor takes place unusual and whether the indication port still drives.Shown in the test circuit 60 of Fig. 6, it mainly is to be made up of resistance R 2, pilot lamp 61 and 62 of reversers.After each microprocessor was all tested, as be judged to be unusually, then as long as the engineering staff is this microprocessor of replacement.Under this mode that detects one by one, the state of each microprocessor can both be to be detected, it is hereby ensured that all problematic microprocessors can be screened.
In sum; The present invention mainly proposes a kind of synchronizing circuit that is applied to a plurality of microprocessors; The electrical specification of drain electrode port is opened in utilization; Make that the init state of each microprocessor all is reflected on unique lead in the system, the lead here is meant that resistance R 1 is connected to the lead of MCU1~MCU3 simultaneously; After all microprocessor is accomplished initialization, utilize the triangular web frequency signal again, make that each microprocessor executes instruction synchronously in the system.By such design, system developer can be utilized simple command calculations, makes all microprocessors put its corresponding data of input and output at the same time, can save design cost and increase Extended Spaces.
