PS/2 keyboard and mouse Connector (CN25)
PCM-9562 can support PS/2 keyboard and mouse via CN25. The PS/2 connector is
used for connecting some keyboards and mouse to a PC compatible computer sys-
tem. Its name comes from the IBM Personal System/2 series of personal computers,
with which it was introduced in 1987. The PS/2 mouse connector generally replaced
the older DE-9 RS-232 "serial mouse" connector, while the keyboard connector
replaced the larger 5-pin DIN used in the IBM PC/AT design.
CF TYPE I/II Connector (CN26)
CompactFlash (CF) is a mass storage device format used in portable electronic
devices. For storage, CompactFlash typically uses flash memory in a standardized
enclosure. PCM-9562 has CF slot and it can support CompactFlash card type I/II.
Mini PCIe Connector (CN30)
PCI Express Mini Card (also known as Mini PCI Express, Mini PCIe, and Mini PCI-E)
is a replacement for the Mini PCI form factor based on PCI Express. It is developed
by the PCI-SIG. The host device supports both PCI Express and USB 2.0 connectiv-
ity, and each card uses whichever the designer feels most appropriate to the task.
PCM-9562 support a Mini PCIe slot.
SATA Connector (CN32, CN33 and CN34)
PCM-9562 comply Serial ATA 2.5 spec and data transfer rates up to 300 MB/s,
enabling very fast data and file transfer, and independent DMA operation on two
ports.
The Serial Advanced Technology Attachment computer bus has the primary function
of transferring data between the motherboard and mass storage devices (such as
hard disk drives and optical drives) inside a computer.
GPIO Connector (CN35 and CN36)
GPIO is General Purpose Input Output. PCM-9562 supports 16-bit programmable I/O
via CN35 and CN36. These GPIO pin can be programmed as data input pin or output
control signal pin to control device.
SMBus Connector (CN37)
The System Management Bus (abbreviated to SMBus or SMB) is a simple two-wire
2
bus, derived from I C and used for communication with low-bandwidth devices on a
motherboard, especially power related chips such as a laptop's rechargeable battery
subsystem (see Smart Battery Data). Other devices might include temperature, fan
or voltage sensors, lid switches and clock chips. PCI add-in cards may connect to a
SMBus segment.
The SMBus was defined by Intel in 1995. It carries clock, data, and instructions and
2
is based on Philips' I C serial bus protocol. Its clock frequency range is 10 kHz to 100
2
kHz. Its voltage levels and timings are more strictly defined than those of I C, but
devices belonging to the two systems are often successfully mixed on the same bus.
