DB-9 Pin 5, Ground between Host Computer and iPort iPort Power The I C adapter requires 50ma of REGULATED +5 volt power. This power can be supplied in one of two ways: • Via the power jack. If the I C adapter is powered via its +5VDC power jack, and the adapter is operating in power SOURCE mode, excess power is available via the +V wire in the I...
C Bus. 3 Hardware Configuration ™ Circuit Sense The iPort/AI 2 includes MCC’s Circuit Sense technology. Circuit Sense allows the C interface +V wire can operate in two modes, Power Source Mode and Voltage Sense Mode. Mode selection is controlled by the MODE slide switch on the side of the unit enclosure.
High ). In Voltage Sense Mode, the voltage of the iPort/AI 2 SCL, SDA, and /INT internal pull-ups, if enabled, is equal to the external voltage (Vcc) applied to the +V wire. (Use of the +V wire in Voltage Sense Mode is required). C Bus Pull-up Resistors C Bus systems are based on open-collector technology requiring pull-up devices on each signal wire (SCL, SDA, /INT).
Packet Error Check byte processing. The non-supported SMBus features may, or may not, permit the use of the I adapter in your SMBus application. Consult the MCC FAQ web page and SMBus Specification for details.
supply ground will float to some unknown voltage potential. Case 2 - Laptop Computers. Laptop computers present special ESD problems. Most laptop computers use an external double-insulated mains power supply which is NOT connected to the mains earth ground. This means that the laptop chassis is floating at some unknown voltage potential.
