ABSTRACT:
A programmable control interface is for circuits using complex commands. The programmable interface includes a memory for storing sampled commands and a sequencing circuit. The sequencing circuit is programmable. Thus, a processor downloads into the programmable interface a sequencing specific to the sequence of commands. Once the programmable interface has been programmed, the processor launches the start of the sequence and the programmable interface manages and controls in a standalone manner the inputs/outputs with the slave circuit. The management and control of the slave circuit is independent of any interrupt specific to the system. The programmable interface uses a software-type upgrade to interface with new slave circuits that may appear on the market.
