PLDS
The PLDs bring programmable logic functionality
to the uPSD. After specifying the logic for the
PLDs in PSDsoft Express, the logic is pro-
grammed into the device and available upon Pow-
er-up.

The PSD Module contains two PLDs: the Decode
PLD (DPLD), and the Complex PLD (CPLD). The
PLDs are briefly discussed in the next few para-
graphs, and in more detail in
and
shows
the configuration of the PLDs.
The DPLD performs address decoding for Select
signals for PSD Module components, such as
memory, registers, and I/O ports.
The CPLD can be used for logic functions, such as
loadable counters and shift registers, state ma-
chines, and encoding and decoding logic. These
logic functions can be constructed using the Out-
put Macrocells (OMC), Input Macrocells (IMC),
and the AND Array. The CPLD can also be used
to generate External Chip Select (ECS1-ECS2)
signals.
The AND Array is used to form product terms.
These product terms are specified using PSDsoft.
The PLD input signals consist of internal MCU sig-
nals and external inputs from the I/O ports. The in-
put signals are shown in Table
The Turbo Bit in PSD Module
The PLDs can minimize power consumption by
switching off when inputs remain unchanged for
an extended time of about 70ns. Resetting the
Turbo Bit to '0' (Bit 3 of PMMR0) automatically
places the PLDs into standby if no inputs are
changing. Turning the Turbo Mode off increases
propagation delays while reducing power con-
sumption.
See
on how
to set the Turbo Bit.
Additionally, five bits are available in PMMR2 to
block MCU control signals from entering the PLDs.
This reduces power consumption and can be used
only when these MCU control signals are not used
in PLD logic equations.
Each of the two PLDs has unique characteristics
suited for its applications. They are described in
the following sections.
