Introduction The phyCORE-P8xC51Mx2 offers the following features: • subminiature Single Board Computer (55 x 51 mm) achieved through advanced SMD technology • populated with the Philips P8xC51Mx2 microcontroller (PLCC-44 packaging) featuring extended memory addressing • instruction cycle time of 500 ns at 12 MHz clock speed (standard) •...
As Figure 3 indicates, all controller signals extend to standard-width (2.54 mm / 0.10 in.) pin rows lining two sides the board (referred to as phyCORE-connector). This allows the phyCORE-P8xC51Mx2 to be plugged into any target application like a "big chip".
Page 16
Lettering of the pin connector rows progresses alphabetically from left to right (refer to Figure 4). The numbered matrix can be aligned with the phyCORE-P8xC51Mx2 (viewed from above; phyCORE-connector header pins pointing down) or with the socket of the phyCORE Development Board LD 5V / target circuitry.
Pin Description The following figure (see Figure 4) illustrates the numbered matrix system. It shows a phyCORE-P8xC51Mx2 mounted on a phyCORE Development Board LD 5V. The shaded area of the phyCORE- connectors shown below indicates the remaining pins not used in...
Jumpers 3 Jumpers For configuration purposes, the phyCORE-P8xC51Mx2 has 20 solder jumpers, some of which have been installed prior to delivery. Figure 5 illustrates the numbering of the jumper pads, while Figure 6 and Figure 7 indicate the location of the jumpers on the board. With the exception of Jumper J18 all solder jumpers (Jxx) are located on the top side of the phyCORE-P8xC51Mx2.
VCC and GND connection. Closing both Jumpers J2 and J3 connects the controller pins to the applicable potential on the module, hence improves the EMI characteristics of the phyCORE-P8xC51Mx2. On controllers with different pin functions these jumpers must remain open.
3.4 J5, J6 RAM Selection Both standard RAM types or high-speed devices can populate the phyCORE-P8xC51Mx2 at U5 and U6. If high-speed RAMs are used, Jumpers J5 and J6 disable the delay of the /CS signal that controls the memory device. With Jumpers J5 and J6 closed no battery buffer for RAM is possible.
Memory Models 4 Memory Models The phyCORE-P8xC51Mx2 allows for flexible address decoding which can be configured by software to different memory models. A hardware reset activates a default memory configuration that is suitable for a variety of applications. However, this memory model can be changed or adjusted at the beginning of a particular application.
