PCAN-MicroMod Evaluation - User Manual Introduction The PCAN-MicroMod Evaluation Board facilitates the entry into work with the PCAN-MicroMod and into development of own mo- therboards for the module. With a diversity of LEDs, switches, and potentiometers the performance of a MicroMod configuration can easily be tested.
PCAN-MicroMod Evaluation - User Manual Serial RS-232 connector for firmware upload from a PC Optional insertion of a Low-speed CAN transceiver alternatively to the High-speed CAN transceiver on the MicroMod Scope of Supply PCAN-MicroMod Evaluation Board AC adaptor Configuration software for Windows 10, 8.1, 7 (32/64-bit)
Under Windows, install the configuration program PCAN- MicroMod Configuration from the supplied CD (Tools section). Start PCAN-MicroMod Configuration, create a configuration, and finally send this configuration to the MicroMod (see program help). You can now work with signals at the I/O ports as defined in the configuration.

PCAN-MicroMod Evaluation - User Manual The error condition of the Low-speed CAN transceiver is indicated by the LED LD26. Figure 11: Position of the error status LED for Low-speed CAN, and position JP21 For again operating with High-speed CAN, the equipped Low-speed CAN transceiver can be deactivated by setting a solder jumper on position JP21.
PCAN-MicroMod Evaluation - User Manual MicroMod Position When you mount the MicroMod, take notice of the white triangular marks on each the Evaluation Board and the MicroMod (upper left corner). These marks must align. Figure 12: MicroMod position Figure 13: Positioning marks on the MicroMod and the Evaluation Board Another help may be the orientation of the labeling.
PCAN-MicroMod Evaluation - User Manual Digital Inputs The Evaluation Board has 8 digital inputs with TTL levels. The corresponding connector is J3 (screw terminals on the lower left). Figure 14: Area of the digital inputs with the associated DIP switches and LEDs Each input has a pull-up resistor (10 k) and is Low-active, so the...
PCAN-MicroMod Evaluation - User Manual Frequency Inputs The Evaluation Board has 4 frequency inputs. The corresponding connector is J2 (Fin0 to Fin3, screw terminals on the mid left). Figure 15: Area of the frequency inputs with the associated DIP switches, LEDs, and the solder positions for adjustments The MicroMod can meter frequencies from 1 Hz to 10 kHz.
PCAN-MicroMod Evaluation - User Manual Digital Outputs The Evaluation Board has 8 digital outputs. The corresponding connector is J1 (screw terminals on the upper left). Figure 16: Area of the digital outputs with the associated LEDs and the solder positions for adjustments The outputs are Low-side switches with a maximum load of 350 mA.
PCAN-MicroMod Evaluation - User Manual Frequency/PWM Outputs The MicroMod can generate frequency signals and PWM signals. The corresponding connector is J2 (Fo0 to Fo3, screw terminal on the mid left). Figure 17: Area of the frequency/PWM outputs with the associated LEDs and the solder positions for adjustments The output signal is protected against short circuit with a series resistance of 82 .
