Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide Chapter 4 General Design Recommendations A brief description of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for SOM-ETX based boards is provided in this section. From a cost- effectiveness point of view, a four-layer board is the target platform for the motherboard design. For better quality, a six-layer or 8- layer board is preferred.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 4.1.1 Four layer board stack-up Figure 4.1 illustrates an example of a four-layer stack-up with 2 signal layers and 2 power planes. The two power planes are the power layer and the ground layer. The layer sequence of component-ground-power-solder is the most common stack-up arrangement from top to bottom.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 4.1.2 Six layer board stack-up Figure 4.2 illustrates an example of a six-layer stack-up with 4 signal layers and 2 power planes. The two power planes are the power layer and the ground layer. The layer sequence of component-ground-IN1-IN2-power-solder is the most common stack-up arrangement from top to bottom.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 4.2 Alternate Stack Ups When customers choose to use different stack-ups (number of layers, thickness, trace width, etc.). However, the following key elements should be observed: 1. Final post lamination, post etching, and post plating dimensions should be used for electrical model extractions.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide Chapter 5 Carrier Board Design Guidelines 5.1 PCI-Bus SOM-ETX provides a PCI Bus interface that is compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2. The implementation is optimized for high-performance data streaming when SOM-ETX is acting as either the target or the initiator on the PCI bus.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 5.1.2 Design Guidelines 5.1.2.1 Differences among PCI Slots Most PCI signals are connected in parallel to all the slots (or devices). The exceptions are the following pins from each slot or device: IDSEL : Connected (through resistor) to a different AD line for each slot.
Vio jumper setting is correct when plug in the riser card. 2. Advantech demo carried board provides the 5V connector and 5V Vio for PCI slots. Plug in a 3.3V riser card in wrong direction will cause the carried board or riser card damage.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 5.1.4.2 PC104-Plus Connector If a PC104-Plus connector is used, the same signals are attached to the connector but the pin numbers differ because of the different connector type. See the PC/104- PlusSpecification Version 1.0, February 1997, PC/104 Consortium (www.pc104.org) for details.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 5.2.2 Design Guideline Figure 5.6 shows USB connections for SOM-ETX USB signals. All pull-up resistors are integrated on the SOM-ETX board. For ESD and EMS protection please integrate the parts on your baseboard. USB Connector SOM-ETX...
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide Figure 5-7 Common Mode Choke Note: ESD protection and common mode chokes are only needed if the design does not pass EMI or ESD testing. Footprints for common mode chokes and/or ESD suppression components should be included in the event that a problem occurs(General routing and placement guidelines should be followed).
Page 71
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide hardware and software. Note that over current protection devices typically allow relatively high currents to flow for brief periods before the current is limited or interrupted. The system power supply must be able to provide these high currents while maintaining output regulation, or else the SOM-ETX module or other system components may malfunction.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 5.2.3.4 Stubs A very common routing mistake is shown in Figure 5.11. Here the designer could have avoided creating unnecessary stubs by proper placement of the pull down resistors over the path of the data traces. Once again, if a stub is unavoidable in the design, no stub should be greater than 200 mils.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 5.3.2 Design Note Figure 5.12 shows the connections for SOM-ETX audio signal. We will talk about the design notes of AUXAL/AUXAR, SNDL/SNDR, and MIC respectively in sections below. In additional, all AC-coupling capacitor have been implement on SOM module.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 5.3.2.2 MIC (microphone input) The MIC (microphone input) is intended for a monaural microphone. 5.3.2.3 Amplifier Because SNDL/SNDR (line-out signal) are true line-out signals and cannot drive a low impedance speaker directly, it is recommended to add an extra audio power amplifier to these signals on the baseboard.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 5.3.3.3 EMI Consideration Any signals entering or leaving the analog area must cross the ground split through bead in the area where the analog ground is attached to the main motherboard ground. That is, no signal should cross the split/gap between the ground planes, which would cause a ground loop, thereby greatly increasing EMI emissions and degrading the analog and digital signal quality.

Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide inactive (high) during refresh cycles. I/O write instructs an I/O device to store the data present on the IOW# data bus. It may be driven by the CPU or by the DMA controller. IOW# is inactive (high) during refresh cycles.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide The asynchronous DMA request inputs are used by external devices to indicate when they need service from the CPU modules B20,64,9 DAM controllers. DREQ0..3 are used for transfers between 8-bit I/O DREQ[0,1 1,70,16,1 adapters and system memory. DREQ5..7 are used for transfers ,2,3,5,6,7] between 16-bit I/O adapters and system memory.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 5.4.2.2 ISA vs. Other Buses Personal computer manufacturers are eliminating the ISA bus from new products. Although this action will not have an immediate impact on embedded applications, there is a clear trend to migrate ISA bus functions to the PCI bus or to other interfaces such as USB.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 5.5 VGA SOM-ETX provides analog display signals. There are three signals -- red, green, and blue -- that send color information to a VGA monitor. These three signals each drive an electron gun that emits electrons which paint one primary color at a point on the monitor screen.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 5.5.3 Layout Guideline 5.5.3.1 RLC Components The RGB outputs are current sources and therefore require 75-ohm load resistors from each RGB line to analog ground to create the output voltage (approximately 0 to 0.7 volts). These resistors should be placed near the VGA port (a 15-pin D-SUB connector).
Figure 5-19 TTL LCD Connections Note: *All SOM-ETX TTL LCD signal level is 3.3V. For 5V signal level TTL LCD, Advantech suggests add a Buffer IC (e.g. 74AC374) to convert the signal level by power support voltage. If you need to support 3.3 and 5V level LCD, Buffer IC and 0 Ohm resistor co-layout is suggested.

Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 5.7.2 Design Guideline 5.7.2.1 Design Considerations Each IDE port can support two hard drives or other ATAPI devices. The two devices on each port are wired in parallel, which is accomplished by plugging both drives into a single flat ribbon cable equipped with two socket connectors.
Page 87
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 5.7.2.2 UDMA Support Some SOM-ETX modules support UDMA 33 data transfer mode .If the advanced IDE data transfer modes such as UDMA 66 is required . These modes require a special 80-conductor IDE cable for signal integrity.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 5.7.2.4 Compact Flash Socket Implementation Notes The Compact Flash (CF) card cannot be hot-plugged (changed while the system is powered). If hot-plug support is necessary, then a PCI-based CardBus controller chip can be integrated onto the baseboard and used to control the CF socket. The CF card can be configured as a slave device when CSEL signal be set as non- connection.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 5.8 Ethernet SOM-ETX supports the IEEE802.11b network interface and flexible dynamically loadable EEPROM algorithm.

Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 5.10.2.2 Parallel Port and Floppy Multi-function Selection SOM-ETX modules provide an LTP_FLPY# pin to select either parallel port or floppy functions. This pin has been pulled-up on SOM modules. If pull-low this pin on baseboard, it indicates to BIOS that the function of this multi-function port is now floppy.
Advantech SOM-ETX Design Guide 5.10.3 Layout Requirement 5.10.3.1 EMI Consideration I/Os like LPT ports/Floppy and COM ports should be physically isolation from digital circuitry, analog circuitry, and power and ground planes. This isolation prevents noise sources located elsewhere on the PCB from corrupting susceptible circuit. An example is power plane noise from digital circuits entering the power pins of analog devices, audio components, I/O filters and interconnects, and so on.
