2.2. General Operational Modes
The SAP5 provides two operational modes: Slave Mode and Master/Repeater Mode. A definition of which
operational mode becomes active is made by programming the flag Master_Mode in the Firmware Area of the
E²PROM (see also Table 9 on page 25). The E²PROM is read out at every initialization of the IC. Online mode
switching is not provided. The following configurations apply:
Table 5: Assignment of operational modes
In Slave Mode the SAP5 operates as fully featured AS-i Slave IC according to AS-i Complete Specification
v3.0.
In Master/Repeater Mode the SAP5 it acts as physical layer transceiver. It translates a digital output signal
from the master control logic (etc. PLC, µP, …) to a correctly shaped, analog AS-i pulse sequence and vice
versa. Every AS-i telegram received is checked for consistency with the AS-i communication protocol
specifications and if no errors were found, an appropriate receive strobe signal is generated.
The following figure shows the different data path configurations.
More detailed signal descriptions can be found in chapters 4.19 Master- and Repeater Mode as well as 4.14
UART.
2.3. Slave Mode
The Slave Mode is the most complex operational mode of the IC. The SAP5 does not only support all
mandatory AS-i Slave functions but also a variety of additional features that eases the design of AS-i Slave
modules.
2.3.1.
The AS-i channel is directly connected to AS-i Bus via the pins LTGP and LTGN. A receiver and a transmitter
unit are connected in parallel to the pins that allow fully bi-directional communication through LTGP and
LTGN.
2.3.2.
In the 20-pin package the SAP5 features a 4-bit wide parameter port and a related parameter strobe signal pin
PSTBn. AS-i Complete Specification V3.0 newly defines a bidirectional mode for parameter data. The SAP5
supports this feature that can be activated by special E²PROM setting (IO_Code, see chapter 4.9).
