DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The TRAC family of Field Programmable
Analog Devices offers an integrated path from
signal processing problems to working silicon
solutions - i n minutes! The Totally
Reconfigurable Analog Circuit is a highly
flexible single chip solution to the signal
processing problems found in many markets.
Introducing a Top-Down, Structured design
disci pl ine, TRAC enables rapid
implementation, prototyping and product
release. Rather than working at the component
level, TRAC champions the Computational
Approach, providing designers with benefits
formerly associated only with programmable
digital devices. TRAC brings a truly integrated
Signal Processing problem solving process,
offering a path to Custom Silicon for higher
volume users.
TRAC devices have to be loaded with program
data at power-up and run from a split 5V
supply. By integrating the loading interface
ci rcuitry, vol tage regulation, supply
monitoring and thermal protection, the TRAC
support circuit (TRAC-S2) further simplifies
circuit integration and interface with memory
devices.
An adjustable frequency oscillator clocks
program data out of a serial output memory
device and into any number of cascaded TRAC
devices. By monitoring the bit stream pattern,
TRAC-S2 can sense when loading is complete
and stop clocking automatically.
An adjustable `rail-splitter' generates the
ground supply rail, and the supply monitoring
function initiates program load on power-up,
and after power failure or serious fluctuation.
Thermal shutdown further protects the device
against overheating.

General notes for the TRAC Support Circuit
An on-chip oscillator produces the output CLK_OUT and NOT CLK_OUT. CLCR_IN must be logic high
(V
DD
) to activate CLK_OUT and NOT CLK_OUT
The CLK_OUT output frequency is divided by four to give the DATA_OUT output. Therefore CLCR_IN
must be logic high (V
DD
) to activate DATA_OUT
For AGND_OUT stability under load, a 100nF capacitor is required between AGND_OUT and V

Description of the TRAC Support Circuit
1) Rail Splitter
This section provides the analog ground rail between the 5V supply. An external potential divider
can be connected to the SETV pin which enables AGND_OUT to be set to the desired potential. The
output stage of the rail splitter has been designed to provide power capabilities for 4 TRAC devices
and accompanying circuitry. The circuit has low output resistance enabling a drive capability of +/-
20mA.
2) Supply Monitor
This section utilises the precision ZSM560 supply monitor design. The RESET_OUT provides a signal
to reset all the devices included in the programming and operation of TRAC . This ensures that all
devices are switched on and off simultaneously.
3) Programming Logic
This section provides TRAC and memory with the signals required for programming. The clock is
generated on chip, with the frequency set by an external capacitor. The DATA_OUT signal is generated
by dividing the clock frequency by 4. This provides the code to initialise an EEPROM and prompt it to
output data. The SELECT pin enables EEPROM chip select.
This section also takes an input signal from the final TRAC device, CLCR_IN. This signal is normally
`high' and goes `low' when programming is complete, and is used to terminate the CLK_OUT and
DATA_OUT signals.
