Interrupts R5

Software User Model

The interrupt triggers the ISR_Control function (in isr.c) and the ADC conversion in the PL. The trigger can be synchronized with the PWM (two- and three-level) modules or the axi2tcm data mover. The interrupt trigger is defined in uz_global_configuration.h by assigning a value to Interrupt_ISR_source_user_choice.

//chose here which of the above interrupt trigger you want to use:
#define Interrupt_ISR_source_user_choice    0

Structure in the PL

The Interrupt module consists of:

• mux_axi: chose source of ADC conversion trigger

• delay_trigger: adds delay to the ADC conversion trigger

• vio_interrupt: manually trigger delay by Vivado hardware manager for debugging

• adc_delay: vio to set delay of delay_trigger

Fig. 56 PL module of the interrupt structure.

In Vivado, the signals connected to pl_ps_irq0 are assigned an interrupt ID starting at XPS_FPGA0_INT_ID for bit 0 and increasing with each additional signal. In our project, the Interrupt_vector is directly connected to pl_ps_irq0. With this logic, the interrupt IDs are assigned in isr.h. Note that XPS_FPGAx_INT_ID is defined in xparameters_ps.h.

Trigger of ADC Conversion

In some applications, the ADC conversion needs to be delayed relative to the trigger from the PWM module. This can be the case if you are using an IGBT, where the delay introduced by the driver and the IGBT itself are not negligible. To ensure that the ADC sampling does not occur while switching, the delay can be added in PL. At the moment this is done with a VIO (Virtual IO) in the Hardware Manager in Vivado.
