Product Description and Operation
IP-CF is part of the IP Module family of modular I/O components. IP-CF is an adapter
which converts the IP bus protocol to IDE to allow a CompactFLASH module to be
installed into an IP slot. CompactFLASH is available in densities ranging up to
GigaBytes.
CompactFLASH modules can be communicated with in “true IDE” mode or with a
variant specific to CompactFLASH. IP-CF operates in IDE mode to allow other non-
CompactFLASH modules to be installed into the adapter.
The IP specification limits the height of the components above the IP to prevent
interference with the host card. IP-CF meets the type 1 [standard] height requirements
and can be used in any slot. A single socket can be placed on the IP Module and meet
the requirements. The IDE interface can be expanded to allow two CompactFLASH
units to be controlled from one IP-CF. The second unit would be installed on a
transition module.
The internal unit is set to be the master CompactFLASH device. The selection is done
with resistors installed at time of manufacture and can be altered by special request.
IP-CF has an oscillator position which is not used for the standard interface. If you have
a custom module which requires an alternate timing scheme the oscillator position can
be filled to support your requirements.
The state-machine has write-through capability to reduce the overhead on the local
CPU. The acknowledge signal is asserted when the data is captured within the Xilinx
and before the CompactFLASH device is written to. The state-machine completes the
data transfer to the CompactFLASH while the local CPU is completing the access and
potentially going on to the next set of instructions. If the CPU writes again before the
previous transfer is completed the new data is captured and held until the initial write is
completed before performing the second write. The acknowledge is held off until the
second write is protected to allow an overlapped pipeline to be established between the
host and the CompactFLASH with no loss of data.
Reads from the CompactFLASH data space are completed with the data fetched from
the CompactFLASH without hardware acceleration. We may add a pre-read feature in
the future to allow a similar no wait state access for the first read.
IP-CF supports both 8 and 32 Mhz. IP Bus operation. All configuration registers support
read and write operations for maximum software convenience. Word operations are

Embedded Solutions Pg 6 of 20
supported (please refer to the memory map). The ID, IO, and INT spaces are utilized by
the IP-CF design.
IP-CF conforms to the VITA standard. This guarantees compatibility with multiple IP
Carrier boards. Because the IP may be mounted on different form factors, while
maintaining plug and software compatibility, system prototyping may be done on one IP
Carrier board, with final system implementation on a different one. The PCI3IP or
PCIe3IP designs make a convenient development platform in many cases.
http://www.dyneng.com/pci_3_ip.html http://www.dyneng.com/PCIe3IP.html
Interrupts are supported by IP-CF. The interrupt occurs when a programmed transition
occurs. The vector is user programmable by a read/write register. The interrupt occurs
on IntReq0. The vector can be read in the IO space or automatically through an access
to the INT space.

FIGURE 1 IP-CF ADDRESS MAP
The address map provided is for the local decoding performed within the IP-CF. The
addresses are all offsets from a base address. The carrier board that the IP is installed
into provides the base address.

Embedded Solutions Pg 8 of 20
Programming
Programming IP-CF requires only the ability to read and write data in the host’s I/O
space. The base address is determined by the IP Carrier board.
Please refer to the CompactFLASH programmers manual for detailed bit-map
information and other programming details. The manual is available from the
manufacturers website. Dynamic Engineering currently uses Sandisk CompactFLASH
modules.
The IP acts as a bridge between the IP bus interface and the CompactFLASH module.
There are a few settings to insure proper operation. This manual covers the internal
registers of the IP-CF. Most of the operational interface is controlled by the
CompactFLASH module and is covered by the CompactFLASH Manual.
The engineering kit provides reference software which Dynamic Engineering uses to
test the IP-CF. The IP-CF is mounted to a PCI3IP carrier.
[ http://www.dyneng.com/pci_3_ip.html ] Windows 7 is the OS. The Identify Disk
information is read and checked. The model, serial number and firmware revision are
displayed. The IDPROM is read and checked. The vector register has a loop-back test.
The FLASH memory is programmed and read-back. The read-write test to the FLASH
finds the first non-programmed sector, programs that sector and then reads the data
back. If the test is looped the data is read many times and only programmed once. If
the software is re-launched then the next sector will be written to and then read back.
We do the sector marking to keep from doing excessive writes in test. The
CompactFLASH interrupts and control functions are tested during the identify and r/w
tests. The source code for the application is included for your reference. In addition to
the software, the engineering kit includes a reference schematic plus the IP-Debug-Bus
and the IP-Debug-IO.
Linux and VxWorks drivers will be available soon. If you need a custom version of the
card or a custom driver please contact Dynamic Engineering.
Please note that some carrier boards do not use the interrupt vector. Some carriers
require the interrupt vector. If needed, the vector register and the interrupt service
routine should be loaded and the mask set.

1. All bits are active low and are reset on power-up.
2. The state-machine which converts from IP to IDE and vice-versa can be optimized to
the 8 or 32 MHz clock. At 32 MHz more wait-states are required. If running at 8 MHz
the additional wait-states can be removed for improved performance.
3. The force interrupt bit when set can cause an interrupt to the host. The master
interrupt enable must also be set. The force interrupt bit can be used to cause an
interrupt for test or software development purposes.
4. The master interrupt enable when set allows the force interrupt or the
CompactFLASH interrupt to be passed to the host. The interrupt should be cleared at
the source.
5. The Reset IDE bit can be used to reset the CompactFLASH slots. Reset on the IDE
bus is active high.
Vector
Ip_cf_vect $02 IP-CF Interrupt Vector Port
The Interrupt vector for the IP-CF is stored in this byte wide register. This read/write
register is initialized to ‘xxFF’ upon power-on reset. The vector is stored in the odd byte
location [D7..0]. The vector should be initialized before the interrupt is enabled or the
mask is lowered. The interrupt is automatically cleared when the CPU acknowledges
the interrupt.

Bits marked ‘0’ are set to ‘0’. Bits marked undefined are used for special purposes and
will not return predicable status – should be masked off.
CD are the Card Detect bits for the two potential CompactFLASH devices. The internal
socket is device 1. The card detect bits can be used to determine if a CompactFLASH
device is installed. The bits are active low => “00” when a card is installed and “11”
when no device is present. The type of device installed can be read from the Identify
Drive table located within the CompactFLASH device.
IREQ is the interrupt request from the CompactFLASH before it is gated with the master
interrupt enable. The interrupt can be polled from the status register if non – interrupt
driven operation is preferred.
Passed Diagnostics and Device Active Slave Present are status signals created by the
CompactFLASH device(s) and read through the status register. For an exact definition
of the bits please refer to the CompactFLASH manual.

Embedded Solutions Pg 12 of 20
Interrupts
All IP Module interrupts are vectored. The vector from IP-CF comes from a vector
register loaded as part of the initialization process. The vector register can be
programmed to any 8 bit value. The default value is $FF which is sometimes not a valid
user vector. The software is responsible for choosing a valid user vector.
The CompactFLASH state machines generate an interrupt request when a programmed
condition is detected. The interrupt is mapped to interrupt request 0. The CPU may
respond by asserting INT. The hardware will automatically supply the appropriate
interrupt vector when accessed by the CPU. The source of the interrupt is obtained by
reading the CompactFLASH internal registers.
Some carrier boards pre-fetch data. If your carrier board pre-fetches the interrupt
status, then the status may be cleared when the SW goes to look at it. If this is an issue
then be careful with the order of reading the registers to prevent the pre-fetching
function from affecting operation.
The interrupt level seen by the CPU is determined by the IP Carrier board being used.
The master interrupt can be disabled or enabled through the ip_cf_cntl register. The
Interrupt acknowledge cycle fetches the vector, but does not clear the interrupt request
in this design. The interrupt acknowledge cycle is not needed for this design and is
supported to be in compliance with the IP Module standard. If your design does not
need to use the interrupt vector then the Interrupt space and vector can be bi-passed in
favor of direct access to the CompactFLASH module for interrupt status information.
If operating in a polled mode and making use of the interrupts for status then the master
interrupt should be disabled.

Embedded Solutions Pg 13 of 20
ID PROM
Every IP contains an ID PROM, whose size is at least 32 x 8 bits. The ID PROM aids in
software auto configuration and configuration management. The user’s software, or a
supplied driver, may verify that the device it expects is actually installed at the location it
expects, and is nominally functional. The ID PROM contains the manufacturing revision
level of the IP. If a driver requires that a particular revision to be present, it may check
for it directly.
The location of the ID PROM in the host’s address space is dependent on which carrier
is used.
Standard data in the ID PROM on the IP-CF is shown in the figure below. For more
information on IP ID PROMs refer to the IP Module Logic Interface Specification,
available from Dynamic Engineering.
Each of the modifications to the IP-CF board will be recorded with a new code in the
DRIVER ID and reserved fields.

Applications Guide
Interfacing
Some general interfacing guidelines are presented below. Do not hesitate to contact the
factory if you need more assistance.
Watch the system grounds. All electrically connected equipment should have a fail
safe common ground that is large enough to handle all current loads without affecting
noise immunity. Power supplies and power consuming loads should all have their own
ground wires back to a common point.
Power all system power supplies from one switch. Connecting external voltage to
the IP-CF when it is not powered can damage it, as well as the rest of the host system.
This problem may be avoided by turning all power supplies on and off at the same time.
We provide the components. You provide the system. Safety and reliability can be
achieved only by careful planning and practice. Inputs can be damaged by static
discharge, by applying voltage less than ground or more than +5 volts with the IP
powered. With the IP unpowered, driven input voltages should be kept within .7 volts of
ground potential.
Terminal Block. We offer a high quality 50 screw terminal block that directly connects
to the flat cable. The terminal block mounts on standard DIN rails.
[ http://www.dyneng.com/HDRterm50.html ]
Many flat cable interface products are available from third party vendors to assist you in
your system integration and debugging. These include connectors, cables, test points,
‘Y’s, 50 pin in-line switches, breakout boxes, etc.

Embedded Solutions Pg 17 of 20
Construction and Reliability
IP Modules were conceived and engineered for rugged industrial environments. The IP-
CF is constructed out of 0.062 inch thick high temp FR4 material.
Through hole and surface mounting of components are used. IC sockets use high
quality plated screw machine pins. High insertion and removal forces are required,
which assists in the retention of components. If the application requires unusually high
reliability or is in an environment subject to high vibration, the user may solder the
corner pins of each socketed IC into the socket, using a grounded soldering iron.
The IP Module connectors are keyed and shrouded with Gold plated pins on both plugs
and receptacles. They are rated at 1 Amp per pin, 200 insertion cycles minimum. These
connectors make consistent, correct insertion easy and reliable.
The IP is secured against the carrier with four metric M2 stainless steel screws. The
heads of the screws are countersunk into the IP. The four screws provide significant
protection against shock, vibration, and incomplete insertion. For most applications,
they are not required. Please order standard mounting kit for IPs if you want this option.
[IP-MTG-KIT]
The IP Module provides a low temperature coefficient of 0.89 W/oC for uniform heat.
This is based upon the temperature coefficient of the base FR4 material of 0.31 W/m-
oC, and taking into account the thickness and area of the IP. The coefficient means that
if 0.89 Watts are applied uniformly on the component side, then the temperature
difference between the component side and solder side is one degree Celsius.

Embedded Solutions Pg 18 of 20
Thermal Considerations
The IP-CF design consists of CMOS circuits. The power dissipation due to internal
circuitry is very low. It is possible to create a higher power dissipation with the externally
connected logic. If more than one a Watt is required to be dissipated due to external
loading then forced air cooling is recommended. With the one degree differential
temperature to the solder side of the board external cooling is easily accomplished.
