Information Information for the miniMODUL-537 For the standard Version of this module with EPROM from 0000H (plain Monitor-Mode or user machine program) the diode besides JP2/JP7 at the bottom side of the circuit board should not be installed. This is only required in combination with our Monitor-Basic. To make...
The miniMODUL-537 is plugged on to the application hardware, which might be not very extensive, like a “big chip”. The favorable cost-performance ratio liberates you from development, design and test of a digital system.
For the 8051-family various assembler and compiler are available on the market. PHYTEC offers for simple programming of the module a Basic-interpreter and a monitor program. In the simplest instance only a terminal is required, since the interface drivers are already implemented.
Installation and Setting into Operation 2 Installation and Setting into Operation The miniMODUL-537 requires a stabilized supply voltage of 5 V. The current consumption is less 100 mA. Please employ only reliable voltage regulators (for example 7805), since overvoltages might be produced by bad power supplies or laboratory power supplies with adjustable voltage, and damage the module.
Your PC/AT doesn’t notify the RS-232-interface, as long as no corresponding program is started. In order to display data from the miniMODUL-537 and to enter data via the RS-232 interface, a communication program has to be started on a PC/AT. Therefore we include the program MONTERM in the software package of Monitor and Monitor-Basic.
The miniMODUL-537 is only malfunctioning, if despite correct jumper setting and with our standard EPROMs no output can be observed at TxD of the miniMODUL-537 after a RESET. In case of problems, check the signal with an oscilloscope at point A47.
3 Pin Configuration Figure 2: Pin Connection The miniMODUL-537 has two connecting strips A and B with 64 connections each. Here all connections for supply voltages, digital signals and some control-lines are found. The analog-inputs and reference voltages are positioned in the connecting stripe C. The pins with uneven number are at the outside and the pins with even number are at the inside.

Pin Configuration The listing of the module-terminals already connected In order to operate the miniMODUL-537 with a minimum of external connections, the serial interfaces of the controller are already connected with the driver-chips. The conducting-stripes are close to the edge of the circuit board and are easily cut.
This can be achieved with an external chip. Despite of the simple, module-internal address-decoding, the miniMODUL-537 doesn’t restrict the address decoding for special applications. By the possibility to turn off the module-internal decoding externally, you are absolutely free for your own address decoding.
Nevertheless other memory-configurations are possible. For this purpose few external components or a special PAL/PLD have to be connected, which can be delivered by us. The miniMODUL-537 has separate control inputs, which can be used to turn off the address decoder of the module.
The SAB80C537 separates data- and program-memory. By appropriate address decoding both memory types can be combined in one physical memory chip. The miniMODUL-537 is very flexible for the memory-configurations, memory-types and their application. For save operation we want to give the following recommendations.
Memory Configuration and Address-Decoding For the storage in RAM or EEPROM, of remote transmitted programs to the miniMODUL-537, a program-kernel and an error-recognition and error-treatment concept should be available in the EPROM. As long as the access-time to the EEPROM is not less than 200 ns, the machine-program should not be operated from the EEPROM.
Jumper Configuration 5 Jumper Description In order to be flexible with the miniMODUL-537 a series of jumpers are installed. Those determine the application of various memory chips, the memory-configuration, some controller adjustments, inter- face connections and control functions for the Power-Down-operation.
Already connected to GND. For applications which temporarily require power-consumptions, memory miniMODUL-537 can be deselected by external wiring of the M-DIS connection. If this is not required, jumper JP5 remains in its position, otherwise the connections have to be removed carefully. JP14 RS-232-Disable Already connected to GND.
16 MHz is possible. 6.5 The Connection to the Interface Driver The miniMODUL-537 has four transmission and three reception channels with RS-232 standard and can be wired arbitrarily. The driver can be used for SERIAL0, SERIAL1 or for control lines of handshake hardware.
RS-485-interface. This bi-directional interface requires besides the two symmetric data-lines, control signals, which are already connected for the miniMODUL-537 with certain controller port pins. In addition to the controller connections TxD1 (P6.2) and RxD1 (P6.1) also port bits P5.1 and P5.0 are connected. For other utilization of the port bits the connections at the edge of the circuit board have to be separated.
The transmission of data in one direction require one line (RxD, TxD). In addition to GND also control lines might be used, which influence the flow of data. All PHYTEC-controller boards use RS-232 interfaces without control lines. The mutual overflow control is achieved by software-handshaking.
In addition to the data-inputs also the inputs of the driver chips of all stations have to be controlled in a skillful way. Therefore PHYTEC has developed a software with the designation PHYNET for the communication with RS-485 interfaces. With this software all modules with RS-485 interface can be interconnected with a network.
INFINEON satisfies your expectation. An additional external conver- ter chip is easily connected to the miniMODUL-537. The external reference voltage VAREF and VAGND are close to VCC and GND. Intermediate values are not permitted. The converter does not operate without external reference voltages VAREF and VAGND.
11 The Optional Real-Time-Clock RTC72421 The optional Real-Time Clock always operates with battery voltage, independent of the function of the miniMODUL-537. The clock-crystal is already integrated, so that a tuning is not necessary. The clock has a 4-bit interface for the connection to the processor-bus.
