MKY43

CUnet master IC 3.3 V (5 V tolerant)

The MKY43 is a CUnet MEM mode (master/slave) IC. If it is connected to a CPU using an 8-bit or 16-bit bus, it can be accessed from the CPU. As a MEM mode IC, an MKY43 can be used as either a master or a slave terminal on a CUnet network. The MKY43 includes 512 bytes of shared memory, a buffer for its mail function, and a communication control register.

[512 bytes of shared memory]

The 512-byte shared memory consists of 64 blocks (8 bytes per block). This 512-byte shared memory is composed of a "self-owned area" to which only the CPU connected to itself (CUnet IC) can write, and an area where input data from other CUnet ICs is copied.
The number of blocks to use (self-owned area) can be specified for MKY43.
All of the data written by itself and input data from other CUnet ICs are applied to its 512-byte shared memory.
This means that the CPU easily grasps the state of the whole CUnet network simply by reading the shared memory of the CUnet IC connected thereto.

[Mail function buffer]

The mail function buffer consists of 2 receiving buffers and 1 send buffer. Each buffer is 256 bytes.
Process completion can be identified by detecting the send complete flag and the receive complete flag.

[Communication control register]

This register controls communication, including communication start, error checking, mail sending and receiving, etc. CUnet communication can be controlled easily just by accessing this register. The MKY43 also has 2 interrupt pins. It has a variety of interrupt functions including a shared memory-update interrupt, a mail-send interrupt, a mail receive-complete interrupt, a specific terminal-participation interrupt, a specific terminal-release interrupt, and a communication-error interrupt.


In addition to this wealth of interrupt function, the MKY43 also contains built-in communication protocol, allowing it to relieve the load on the CPU for communication functions.

[Differences between the MKY43 and the MKY40 (MEM mode)]

The MKY43 was developed to inherit the functions of the CUnet MKY40 (MEM mode, 5 V). The MKY43 works and functions just like the MKY40, but please observe the following practical differences in its use.
