GreenPAK3 Universal Board, top view Notification: All test points were designed only for observation of signals on the pins. Please do not try to connect external power/signal source to test points, this will affect GreenPAK3 Universal Board functionality and may even damage it.

  • Page 8: Functional Description

    GreenPAK Universal Development Board 3.2. Functional Description 3.2.1. Power Supply Main power source of GreenPAK3 Universal Board is USB power lines. GreenPAK3 chip power supply range is 1.8-5.5 volts. The development board can provide power from 0 to 5.5V. To provide this power range the development board is enabled with a boost converter. A Signal generator with a buffered output controls GreenPAK3 chip power rail.

    GreenPAK Universal Development Board Inverted Buffered LED (with high impedance input); This option can be enabled in GreenPAK3 Designer. 3.2.6. Socket connector The GreenPAK3 Universal Board is supplied with a detachable socket board (Figure 3-3). Its main purpose is to connect GreenPAK3 chip to the Development Board. It can be used to have an easy way to use programmed chip in external circuits, or measure current consumption of your project.

  • Page 10: Expansion Connector

    GreenPAK Universal Development Board 3.2.7. Expansion connector This port was designed to connect GreenPAK3 Universal Board to external circuits and apply external power, signal sources and loads. It can be used to apply GreenPAK3 chip into your custom design with minimum additional tools. Schematic is available on Figure 3-5.
  • Page 11 GreenPAK Universal Development Board Figure 3-7. Socket and expansion connector schematic Expansion connector is enabled only in Emulation mode or Test mode. To enter any of this two modes GreenPAK3 chip is required inside the socket. When the Test mode button is pressed the software will first read the chip to verify that it was inserted and then configure the GreenPAK3 Universal Board as it was set in Emulation Tool window.
  • Page 12 (the board and socket connectors have same pinout). The GreenPAK Universal Board provides three possible ways of using expansion connector: 1) The internal power is used to run chip, no external power output is needed, external signal sources and loads can be connected between pins and GND.
  • Page 13 GreenPAK3 chip many times, but after power loss all internal data will be lose. Also when the GreenPAK chip is already programmed - user can use Emulation mode to load some other project and test it on the emulation tool during the Emulation mode, in that case emulation data will be cleared.
