Resistor Packs Configuration
Differential or Single-Ended Encoder Selection
The differential input signal pairs to the PMAC have user-configurable pull-up/pull-down resistor
networks to permit the acceptance of either single-ended or differential signals in one setting, or the
detection of lost differential signals in another setting.
The ‘+’ inputs of each differential pair each have a hard-wired 1 kΩ pull-up resistor to +5V. This cannot
be changed.
The ‘-‘ inputs of each differential pair each have a hard-wired 2.2 kΩ resistor to +5V; each also has
another 2.2 kΩ resistor as part of a socketed resistor pack that can be configured as a pull-up resistor to
+5V, or a pull-down resistor to GND.
If this socketed resistor is configured as a pull-down resistor (the default configuration), the combination
of pull-up and pull-down resistors on this line acts as a voltage divider, holding the line at +2.5V in the
absence of an external signal. This configuration is required for single-ended inputs using the ‘+’ lines
alone; it is desirable for unconnected inputs to prevent the pick-up of spurious noise; it is permissible for
differential line-driver inputs.
If this socketed resistor is configured as a pull-up resistor (by reversing the SIP pack in the socket), the
two parallel 2.2 kΩ resistors act as a single 1.1 kΩ pull-up resistor, holding the line at +5V in the absence
of an external signal. This configuration is required if complementary open-collector drivers are used; it
is permissible for differential line-driver inputs.
If Pin 1 of the resistor pack, marked by a dot on the pack, matches Pin 1 of the socket, labeled by a white
square, then the pack is configured as a bank of pull-down resistors. If the pack is reversed in the socket,
it is configured as a bank of pull-up resistors.
The following table lists the pull-up/pull-down resistor pack for each input device:
