Mechanics 19/108 Design guidelines for the host system 3.2.1 Footprint The layout for the footprint of the netRAPID 90 on the host system requires the following dimensions. 15 mm 1.27 mm 3.062 mm 2.4 mm 1 mm R 0.5 mm Thermal pad 9.5 mm...
90 to avoid heat dissipation of other component than netRAPID 90. The thermal pad of the netRAPID device must have GND potential. The figure shows position and size of the thermal pad for netRAPID 90. 3.2.3 VIAs and signal fan out underneath the netRAPID device Make sure that no vias and no wires are on the PCB of the host system underneath the netRAPID device.
To avoid this, the netRAPID chip carriers have to be tempered 24 h at 80°C. Hilscher tempers netRAPID devices before they are shipped. After tempered, netRAPID devices are shipped welded within a tray.
Location of pins The following figure shows the position of contacts 1, 9, 28 and 36. Pin numbering has been done counter-clockwise. Figure 6: netRAPID 90 - Pin numbering and orientation This figure applies for both NRP H90-RE and NRP H90-RE\F8D8. General signals 4.2.1...
RST_IN has a static low level. To reset the netRAPID 90, the RST_IN signal must be low (2.8 V ± 0.07 V or less) for more than approx. 10 µs. Afterwards, the netRAPID 90 starts the initialization and program execution.
The netX 90 has a separate debugging interface based on the JTAG standard. However, this debugging interface is not intended to be used by the module user. It is only used in two special cases: during the production of the netRAPID 90 module · ·...
Serial dual-port memory mode 5.3.1.1 General description The netRAPID 90 offers a serial dual-port memory interface, which is a SPI Slave interface. The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a versatile bus system for the synchronous serial communication of digital electronic circuits allowing versatile applications.
If other settings differing from the default settings are required, then these have to be specified using the tool netX Studio CDT that is included on the DVD delivered together with the netRAPID 90. 5.3.1.4 Host interface signal buffers...
Fieldbus interface 5.4.1 PROFIBUS-DP The following figure shows a proposal for implementing a PROFIBUS-DP interface ae the additional Fieldbus interface of the netRAPID 90: Figure 19: PROFIBUS-DP interface of netRAPID 90 5.4.2 DeviceNet The following figure shows a proposal for implementing a DeviceNet interface at the additional Fieldbus interface of the netRAPID 90: Figure 20: DeviceNet interface of netRAPID 90...
For the configuration of the specific pinout, use the hardware configuration tool with integrated GUI within netX Studio CDT. The following requirements apply for the MMIO signals of the netRAPID 90. The signals MMIO00, MMIO01, MMIO02 and MMIO03 may serve as ·...
In order to serve these signals, you have to provide an application running on the APP CPU of the netX 90 processor. ADCs The netRAPID 90 allows access to three of the four independently operating 12-bit ADC units of the netX 90, which are denominated as ADC0, ADC1 and ADC3.
GPIO/ COM_IO signals of the netX 90 (currently not supported). Pin 28 of the netRAPID 90 corresponds to COM IO0 and pin 29 to COM IO1.. The connector of this interface of the NRPEB H90-RE is a male single-row pin header with 4 pins.
Extension interface (X304) The extension interface (X304) of the NRPEB H90-RE is used only for connecting to external modules of type NXHX-RS232 (Hilscher part number 7923.100).. At a given time, only one of the interfaces X304 (Pin header) and X308 (DSub connector) can be used.
SYS LED (P300) The SYS LED is a Duo-LED with the colors yellow and green. It provides information on the current system status of the netRAPID 90. A solid green SYS LED indicates that the firmware of the netRAPID H90 is operational (Pin #39 RUN#).
