Apparatus and method for processing high-speed signals of one or more through a single high-speed input terminal of the microcontroller

摘要

A method and apparatus for processing two high speed signals through a single high speed input terminal of a microprocessor uses a multiplexing circuit connected between the signal conditioners from the wheel speed sensor and the microprocessor. The multiplexing circuit converts the square wave signal as generated by the signal conditioning circuits into a series of interrupts. The multiplexing circuit includes three hardware semaphores or flip-flops which are set by the interrupts generated from wheel speed signals. The semaphores or flip-flops are reset by the microprocessor.
