TS-7250 MANUAL COMMON INTERFACES GENERAL INFORMATION 4 COMMON INTERFACES GENERAL INFORMATION The purpose of this section is to provide general information about the common interfaces, such as Serial Ports and Digital Input/Output, which appear in more than one header or connector of the TS-7250. For further information on these features, refer to the Connectors and Headers section of this manual.
TS-7250 MANUAL COMMON INTERFACES GENERAL INFORMATION Many of the DIO pins (DIO_0 thru DIO_8 and LCD_0 thru LCD_7) can also be programmed to cause interrupts. The interrupt properties of these pins are individually configurable. Each interrupt can be either high or low level sensitive or either rising or falling edge triggered.
TS-7250 MANUAL CONNECTORS AND HEADERS 5 CONNECTORS AND HEADERS 5.1 10/100 Base-T Ethernet Connector The EP9302 Ethernet LAN controller incorporates all the logic needed to interface directly to any MII compatible Ethernet PHY chip. A low-power Micrel KS8721 chip is used to implement the Ethernet PHY function and an integrated RJ-45 connector with built-in 10/100 transformer and LED indicators completes the Ethernet sub-system.
The base address of COM1 appears in the physical address space at 0x808C_0000. Technologic Systems provides software drivers to access this port. This full complement of RS-232 signals (all except Ring Detect) allows COM1 to interface to almost any serial RS-232 device.
The base address of COM2 appears in the physical address space at 0x808D_0000. Technologic Systems provides software drivers to access this port. COM2 has RS-232 support only for the TXD and RXD signals. This is sufficient to interface with serial devices that only require transmit and receive data lines.
1. Check that the RS-485 option is installed in the TS-7250 (required). 2. Attach the RS-485 cable to the 10-pin header. (Adapter cables to SubDB9 connector are available from Technologic Systems). 3. Set the COM2 UART serial parameters (baud rate, data, parity, and stop bits, interrupts, etc) in your source code.
COM2 in half-duplex RS-485 supports baud rates of 9600, 19.2K, 57.6K and 115.2K. If you need to operate at any other baud rate, then please contact Technologic Systems 5.5 DIO1 Header The DIO1 Header provides +3.3V, GND, and 9 digital I/O lines that may be used to interface the TS-7250 with a wide range of external devices.
TS-7250 MANUAL CONNECTORS AND HEADERS 5.6 A/D Header - Cirrus EP9302 The EP9302 A/D converter can do a maximum of 925 samples per second, and requires a settling time of 2 milliseconds between channel switches. Note that the Cirrus A/D converter is not the same as the optional, full-featured MAX197 A/D converter.
TS-7250 MANUAL CONNECTORS AND HEADERS values returned by the Cirrus A/D converter to voltage. 5.7 A/D Header - Optional MAX197 The TS-7250 supports an optional eight-channel, 12-bit A/D converter (ADC) with a conversion time of 12 uS. This will allow up to 60,000 samples per second. Each channel is independently software programmable for a variety of analog input ranges: -10V to +10V, -5V to +5V, 0V to +10V, or 0V to +5V.
LCD_3 LCD_5 LCD_7 Technologic Systems has a 2x24 LCD display available with software drivers for rapid development. DIO lines LCD_0 thru LCD_7 are a byte-wide port using Port A on the EP9302 and are accessed via the data register at physical address location 0x8084_0000. The DDR for this port is at 0x8084_0010.
The JTAG header is also utilized for jumper configuration. See the Jumpers section of this manual for more details. Technologic Systems has made the design choice to save on board real-estate and not bring out the JTAG header. If you need access to the JTAG pins, a skilled technician can solder wires to the pins.
TS-7250 MANUAL CONNECTORS AND HEADERS 5.10 Power Supply Header The TS-7250 requires regulated 5VDC at 450 mA @ 200 MHz(maximum). It is possible to lower this power significantly by lowering the CPU clock rate or by powering-down the Ethernet PHY chip. For example, by shutting down the Ethernet PHY chip and scaling down the CPU clock rate to 20 MHz, one can obtain power consumptions less than 150 mA.
