HIP7020 Signal Interface
The HIP7020 is a member of the Intersil family of low cost
multiplexed wiring ICs. As a Bus Transceiver IC, it interfaces
the module and system control logic to the vehicle signal bus
wiring. The integrated functions of the Bus Transceiver serve
as an interface for a “Class B” multiplexed communications
network. The TX digital interface is designed to accept
CMOS/TTL logic levels and convert them to the appropriate
J1850 analog serial data levels. This is accomplished using
an internally generated reference waveform and voltage
driver with a controlled current source to supply an analog
signal output to the J1850 bus load of 500
(typical).
Because of the special wave shaping used to control the
J1850 bus waveform, it is regarded as an analog signal.
In the receive mode the incoming bus analog signals are input
to the receiver at the BUS IN terminal. The bus data is
converted to logic information by comparing it to an on-chip
reference voltage. The received signal is provided as digital
output from an open collector transistor driver at the
RX output.
In the transmit mode a CMOS/TTL digital signal is received
at the TX input. It is then rise and fall time controlled, wave
shaped and level adjusted. A voltage controlled current
driver circuit transmits the signal from the BUS OUT terminal
to the J1850 Bus with current limiting protection.
Functional Blocks
The Bus Transceiver IC functional blocks, as shown in the
Block Diagram, are as follows:
TX BUF (Transmit Input Buffer Interface)
The TX Buffer input function is a data interface to the wave-
shaper reference circuit. The CMOS/TTL logic levels to be
transmitted are input to the TX pin.
