\section{General Description}
The 2245 LVDS-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 sixteen digital channels each, controlled through 2 EEM connectors.
Each EEM connector controls eight channels independently.
Single EEM operation is possible.
Each RJ45 connector exposes four digital channels in the LVDS format.
The direction (input or output) of each channel can be selected using DIP switches.
Outputs are intended to drive 100\textOmega~loads, inputs are 100\textOmega~terminated.
This card can achieve higher speed and lower jitter than the isolated 2118/2128 BNC/SMA-TTL cards.
Only shielded Ethernet Cat-6 cables should be connected.

\section{Example ARTIQ code}
The sections below demonstrate simple usage scenarios of the 2245 LVDS-TTL card with the ARTIQ control system.
They do not exhaustively demonstrate all the features of the ARTIQ system.
The full documentation for the ARTIQ software and gateware is available at \url{https://m-labs.hk}.
Timing accuracy in the examples below is well under 1 nanosecond thanks to the ARTIQ RTIO system.
\subsection{One pulse per second}
The channel should be configured as output in both the gateware and hardware.
\begin{minted}{python}
@kernel
def run(self):
self.core.reset()
while True:
self.ttl0.pulse(500*ms)
delay(500*ms)
\end{minted}
\newpage
\subsection{Morse code}
This example demonstrates some basic algorithmic features of the ARTIQ-Python language.
\begin{minted}{python}
def prepare(self):
# As of ARTIQ-6, the ARTIQ compiler has limited string handling
# capabilities, so we pass a list of integers instead.
message = ".- .-. - .. --.-"
self.commands = [{".": 1, "-": 2, " ": 3}[c] for c in message]
@kernel
def run(self):
self.core.reset()
for cmd in self.commands:
if cmd == 1:
self.led.pulse(100*ms)
delay(100*ms)
if cmd == 2:
self.led.pulse(300*ms)
delay(100*ms)
if cmd == 3:
delay(700*ms)
\end{minted}
\subsection{Counting rising edges in a 1ms window}
The channel should be configured as input in both the gateware and hardware.
\begin{minted}{python}
@kernel
def run(self):
self.core.reset()
gate_end_mu = self.ttl0.gate_rising(1*ms)
counts = self.ttl0.count()
print(counts)
\end{minted}
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:
\begin{minted}{python}
@kernel
def run(self):
self.core.reset()
self.edgecounter0.gate_rising(1*ms)
counts = self.edgecounter0.fetch_count()
print(counts)
\end{minted}
\newpage
\subsection{Responding to an external trigger}
One channel needs to be configured as input, and the other as output.
\begin{minted}{python}
@kernel
def run(self):
self.core.reset()
self.ttlin.gate_rising(5*ms)
timestamp_mu = self.ttlin.timestamp_mu()
at_mu(timestamp_mu + self.core.seconds_to_mu(10*ms))
self.ttlout.pulse(1*us)
\end{minted}
