Programming and Control:
  • Chip programming via four addresses with control words for flashing frequencies, filtering times, interrupt control, and more.
  • Interrupt generation can be activated for each I/O stage with input function.
  • Test mode available for system testing via microprocessor interface.
Electrical Characteristics: The document outlines the electrical characteristics of a bidirectional microprocessor interface to 24V, with operating conditions specified as VCC= VCCA= VCCD= 5V ±10% and a temperature range of 0 to 125°C. Key parameters include open-circuit voltage, threshold voltages, leakage currents, saturation voltages, and clamp voltages for various inputs and outputs.
Switching Characteristics: The permissible cycle durations and pulse widths for CLK and BLFQ are specified, along with propagation delays and current source enable/disable times for IOx during write cycles.
Operating Requirements: The microprocessor interface operates under conditions of VCC= VCCA= VCCD= 5V ±10%, with input levels defined for low and high states. Timing requirements for data word read and write operations are detailed, including setup, hold, access, and recovery times.

iC-VRV BIDIRECTIONAL ìP INTERFACE TO 24V Rev A2, Page 2/12 DESCRIPTION iC-VRV is an 8-fold low-side driver with integrated control logic which is divided internally into two mutually independent blocks (nibbles). In the input mode, ports IO0 to IO7 can be used to record logical levels. In this process, a programmable pull-down current (200 ìA or 2 mA) sets a defined level and functions as the biasing current for switching contacts. The stages programmed as outputs can drive any desired loads (e. g. lamps, long cables, relays) at a continuous current of 100 mA or 500 mA in pulse operation. The...

iC-VRV BIDIRECTIONAL ìP INTERFACE TO 24V Rev A2, Page 5/12 Signal changes which would be relevant for an interrupt generation could occur in the read-out phase following an interrupt message. These signal changes are lost when the interrupt register is deleted. As an alternative, the read-out of the interrupt register is possible (functional selection: read IR inputs). The registers can then be reset separately by blocking the IR enable for each reporting stage singly and then releasing it (functional selection: IR enable). Filter periods The input comparator of each I/O stage switches the counting...
