\section{General Description}

The 2238 MCX-TTL card is a 4hp EEM module. It adds general-purpose digital I/O capabilities to carrier cards such as 1124 Kasli and 1125 Kasli-SoC.

Each card provides four banks of four digital channels each for a total of sixteen digital channels, with MCX connectors in the front panel, controlled through two EEM connectors. Each individual EEM connector controls two banks independently. Single EEM operation is possible. The direction (input or output) of each bank can be selected using DIP switches, and applies to all four channels of the bank.

Each channel supports 50\textOmega~terminations individually controllable using DIP switches. This card can achieve higher speed and lower jitter than the isolated 2118/2128 BNC/SMA-TTL cards.

All specifications are in $-40\degree C \leq T_A \leq 85\degree C$ unless otherwise noted. Information in this section is based on the datasheet of the bus transceiver IC (74LVT162245MTD\footnote{\label{transceiver}\url{https://www.onsemi.com/pdf/datasheet/74lvt162245-d.pdf}}).

\section{Configuring IO Direction \& Termination}
IO direction and termination must be configured by switches. The termination switches are found at the top and the IO direction switches at the middle of the card respectively.
\begin{multicols}{2}
Termination switches between high impedence (OFF) and 50\textOmega~(ON). Note that termination switches are by-channel but IO direction switches are by-bank.

\begin{itemize}
    \itemsep0em
    \item IO direction switch closed (\texttt{ON}) \\
          Fixes the corresponding bank to output. The IO direction cannot be changed by I\textsuperscript{2}C.
    \item IO direction switch open (OFF) \\
          The corresponding bank is set to input by default. IO direction \textit{can} be changed by I\textsuperscript{2}C.
\end{itemize}

\section{Example ARTIQ code}
\codesection{2238 MCX-TTL card}

Timing accuracy in these examples is well under 1 nanosecond thanks to ARTIQ RTIO infrastructure.

\subsection{One pulse per second}
The channel should be configured as output in both the gateware and hardware.
\inputcolorboxminted{firstline=9,lastline=14}{examples/ttl.py}

\subsection{Morse code}
This example demonstrates some basic algorithmic features of the ARTIQ-Python language.
\inputcolorboxminted{firstline=22,lastline=39}{examples/ttl.py}

\newpage
\subsection{Edge counting in an 1ms window}
The channel should be configured as input in both gateware and hardware.
\inputcolorboxminted{firstline=47,lastline=52}{examples/ttl.py}

This example code uses the software counter, which has a maximum count rate of approximately 1 million events per second.
If the gateware counter is enabled on the TTL channel, it can typically count up to 125 million events per second:
\inputcolorboxminted{firstline=60,lastline=65}{examples/ttl.py}

\subsection{Responding to an external trigger}
One channel needs to be configured as input, and the other as output.
