The GreenPAK DIP Development Board should be used with a DIP Adapter board. Its main purpose is to connect the GreenPAK chip GreenPAK Development Board. Information about Adapters available online at http://www.silego.com/softdoc/user_guides.html. Figure 2. DIP Adapter Connector Pinout Silego Technology Inc. Page 6 of 28 11/22/17...
This port was designed to connect the GreenPAK DIP Development Board to external circuits and apply external power, signal sources and loads. It can be used to apply the GreenPAK chip into your custom design with minimal additional tools. Silego Technology Inc. Page 7 of 28...

The GreenPAK DIP Development Board supports connecting five types of loads and signal sources. Each source has its own special purpose. For VDD pins is only available a signal generator connection. For the Data pins the following connections are available: VDD, GND, Pull Up, Pull Down, Configurable Button. Silego Technology Inc. Page 9 of 28 11/22/17...

Before you start working with a chip, you need to understand the difference between such concepts as PIN (chip pin) and TP (the Development Board test point). Figure 8 shows where PINs and TPs are. Silego Technology Inc. Page 12 of 28...
Page 14
PINs refer to the physical pins that are on the chip package (their marking can be seen in the datasheet). TPs refer to the DIP Adapter and Expansion connector pins. TP and PIN numbers may not match since different PINs on the chip have different functions (see Figure 9). Silego Technology Inc. Page 13 of 28 11/22/17...
