14.9.1

Digital DB Connector (40 Pins)

Mainly, the digital connector is meant to expand the programmer for extra needs. Address lines A0-A7

together with the Map Select Lines F8-FF allows the user direct access to an area of 2 K. Example would

be adding a simple addressed I/O register by using the selection lines. If more complexity is needed, a full

FPGA can be mounted on the DB board.

– A7

Address lines

– 16

D0

– D7

Data Lines active during Rd or Wr signals

17

Rd

Read : A negative pulse will indicate a sampling of the data on the Data Bus

18

Wr

Write : A Negative pulse will indicate when data is available on the Data Bus

20

Reset

This signal goes low by powering the PTC or by pressing the reset button.

This line can be pulled low by application.

Check firmware documentation for resetting by software.

21-22

SCL / SDA

I2c Bus

23-30

F8,F9,…,FF

CS lines when the address areas are accessed

31-38

Port E

Note: These pins are limited to 5 Volt input\output.

The full Port E of the Atmega core is mounted to these pins. This allows us to use advanced

features like PWM, UARTS, Time Measurements, etc.

By using firmware that supports these functions, really nice application specific requirements can be

fulfilled.

+5V Digital

5 Volt Digital Supply. Maximum current to get out of this supply : ….mA

Table 7: Digital daughter board connector

Note: All the pins are limited to 5 Volt input\output. However, there are protections, please take precautions in order to avoid damage

to the main board.

14.9.2

Analog DB Connector (48 Pins)

Mainly, the analog connector provides all the analog signals and measure possibilities.

Shtd_PPS1-4

Outputs that show the status of the Drivers.

Signals are meant to connect LED’s for the front panel

43,44,47,48

AnaComp0-3

See *Note.

Input (limited to 5V)

Fast Level comparators in order to remove time consuming measurement

Note: All the pins are limited to 35 Volt input\output! However, there are protections, please take precautions in order to avoid

damage of the main board.

* Note: Some pins are protected and limited to 5 Volt! However, there are protections, please take precautions in order to avoid

damage of the main board.
