Rules for configurable SNS-SNSK Mask Generation



  1. 1.

    The channel numbers are allocated based on enabled SNS pins starting from LSBit of port 1(SNS1) and ending with MSBit of port 2(SNS2).

  2. 2.

    The number of SNS pins in a port pair should be equal to the SNSK pins in the same port pair so it can form a pair.

  3. 3.

    The first SNS port pin should always be mapped to the first SNSK port pin in any port pair. Similarly the second SNS port pin should always be mapped to second SNSK pin and so on.

  4. 4.

    Even sensors with in a port pair should be placed in one mask and odd sensors with-in a port pair should be placed in the second mask. In case of interport, first channel should always start with odd masks and then even masks is filled .

  5. 5.

    All the three channels for ROTORS and SLIDERS should be placed within the same mask. And should be in the same port pair.

  6. 6.

    Keys on adjacent channels should be placed on different masks.

  7. 7.

    For 8 channel case when 2 ports are enabled, the pins for the 8 channels can be spread on the 2 ports. The pin configuration is done based on the rules mentioned above.

  8. 8.

    For 16 channel case when 2 ports are enabled, all the pins for the 16 channels are allocated among the pins of the 2 ports.
