9.2.1.1 NMP128A Remote Control
General Description:
NMP128A is a FPGA proiding most of the remote control function. NMP128A is based on the
Actel ACT1020 FPGA. For electrical specifications see the ACT1020 datasheet.

Block Description:
COMMAND MIXER
This block mixes the on/off and changeover commands from the different sources (remote
control front panel or slave front panel input).
TX UART
Converts parallell data to 2-bytes serial messages. The protocol is start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit, odd parity.
RX UART
Converts serial data from remote control to parallell data (2 bytes).
