  • Page 5: Product Overview

    ARM920T’s compressed Thumb instruction set can be used to provide higher code density and lower Flash storage requirements. The TS-7250 CPU integer performance at 200 MHz is about twice as fast as the Technologic Systems 133MHz 586-based products, but costs half as much!

  • Page 6: Features And Benefits Summary

    3 Amps. A current limited supply is very forgiving of common errors during development. A PC power supply that may be capable of supplying 20 Amps or more is not recommended -- it is possible to do irreversible damage to the TS-7250 if the polarity on the power leads is reversed.

    LED is lit and remains on from that point forward. 1.4 Related Products Technologic Systems offers an enclosure for the TS-7250. Several daughter boards are also available that can add functionality via the PC/104 bus. Since the PC/104 bus is an industry standard, an almost unlimited number of third-party products can be added via the PC/104 expansion bus.

  • Page 8: Memory

    TS-7250 is much more reliable in high-vibration environments. The TS-7250 RAM is not contiguous in the physical memory map of the EP9302. But the MMU is programmed to remap the blocks of RAM to appear as a contiguous block of memory at the very beginning of the virtual memory map.

  • Page 9: On-Board Flash

    2.3 On-board Flash The TS-7250 uses a NAND Flash chip for its on-board Flash resource. The first 16KB is reserved for the TS-BOOTROM code. The TS-BOOTROM code initializes various internal configuration registers for proper operation for the TS-7250 design and initializes and tests the SDRAM.

    925 samples per second, and requires a settling time of 2 milliseconds between channel switches. The EP9302 A/D converter is standard on all TS-7250. Note that the Cirrus A/D converter is not the same as the optional, full-featured MAX197 A/D converter.

  • Page 21: Interpreting Cirrus A/D Converter

    The Cirrus on-chip A/D converter is a successive approximation A/D converter. Each A/ D channel is calibrated on the TS-7250 and these 16-bit values are stored in non- volatile EEPROM. These calibration values minimize the offset errors and gain errors in the EP9302 A/D.
