Block Interface Signals
•
Deliverable 2 – Individual Assignment for Block Owners
1. For Each Design Block: Define and document all of your Block-Block
Interface Signals in the spreadsheet template included within the 3 main
areas:
•
•
•
Power Signals including Power Consumed, Power Supplied
Digital Interface Signals (including busses)
Analog Interface Signals
2. Review ALL “Inter-block” signals and document Approval and “OK” in
your spreadsheets to record signal agreements.
3. See attached Block Interface Signal Table Excel Tool

Power Signal Blocks & Design Guidelines

Block Numbers Used for To-From Column
Assume ALL Blocks will consume power
Consumers block owners provide; nominal voltage, max current, & max oper voltage
range
Blocks that supply power may also consume it and must allow for their inefficiencies
Signal names should include nominal voltage (eg; 5V, 5VCC, +/-12V, etc)
For all analog signals you will need DC supplies that span wider than analog voltage
range
Power Supply Current Capacity Should be Designed to Provide Demand + 50% Min
Margin
Try to keep DC voltage supplies at standard values including 3.3, 5, 9, 12, 15 & 24
VDC
Must specify both nominal and range of voltages
Must specify maximum total current for each voltage
Frequency range for AC voltages

Block Signal Table: Digital
Digital Signal Blocks & Design Guidelines
• Block Numbers used for To-From Column
• A digital signal is one that conveys two levels of information (ie; 1/0, On/Off,
etc)
• Must specify direction from viewpoint of YOUR block: Input, Output or
Bidirection
• Must specify Block-Block Interconnect Means for each signal
• For Inputs classify as Standard or Schmitt Trigger
• Inputs must specify Vih(min), ViL(max), (or Vth), Iih(max) and IiL(max) limits
• For Outputs classify as Totem Pole, Open Collector, or Tristate
• Outputs must specify Voh(min), VoL(max), Ioh(max) and IoL(max) limits
• If unsure, start by assuming Std TTL levels, Std Input, Totem Pole Output
Std TTL: Vih => 2.0V, ViL <= 0.8V, Iih <= 40uA, IiL <= -1.6mA;
16mA
•
Voh => 2.4V, VoL <= 0.4V, Ioh <= -400uA, IoL <=
For noisy or slow transition digital signals, use a Schmitt trigger input
318-595 Project Lab 1C
Block Signal Table: Analog
Analog Signal Blocks & Design Guidelines
• Block Numbers used for To-From Column
• Analog signals may be Input, Output or BiDirectional
• Signals that are not Power nor Digital are by default Analog signals
• Must specify Block-Block Interconnect Means for each signal
• Classify the coupling of the signal as Direct, Capacitive, Xfmr or Other
• Classify the maximum voltage (amplitude), use peak values not RMS
• For input signals, classify the min-max input impedance
• For output signals, classify the min-max output impedance
• Bidirectional signals require both input and output impedance classifications
• Classify the min-max frequency range for each signal
• List the maximum leakage current allowed for the signal if applicable

Ethics & Intellectual Property
• Deliverable 3 - Team
A. Identify at least 3 “active” patents that would be worthwhile
understanding for your recommended project
•
•
•
•
Patent Number
Patent Name or Title (Page 1)
Patent Date
Mitigation Strategy: Design Around or Likely Royalty
B. From Lab 1B, Document the 2 most serious Ethical/Societal Issues that
could arise in your project and how you could mitigate
Some key questions to consider
•
•
•
•
•
•
Are there hazards the product presents to the user?
Could the product fail in some way to cause harm to the user?
How can you prevent a product failure from causing injury or harm?
What if the engineering is faulty, flawed or incorrect? Any Consequences?
What are the key areas of the engineering that need to be 100% correct?
How can you insure there is faulty or flawed engineering in those areas?

How do I find Patents? Internet Sites
- Sites offer limited key word searching
www.uspto.gov
www.us-patent-search.com
www.msoe.edu/library/patent_searching/index.htm
Try to find at least 3 patents that may be applicable to your recommended
project/product
• List the patent(s) number, title and date on 1 slide
• Include a comment regarding your ability to design around or likely royalty
