WARRANTIES LIABILITY and INDEMNITIES HUNT ENGINEERING warrants the hardware to be free from defects in the material and workmanship for 12 months from the date of purchase. Product returned under the terms of the warranty must be returned carriage paid to the main offices of HUNT ENGINEERING situated at BRENT KNOLL Somerset UK, the product will be repaired or replaced at the discretion of HUNT ENGINEERING.

Also a system can be built upon as the need arises or the budget allows. The HEP40E is a PC-AT plug in card which is a motherboard for up to 4 Texas Instruments Modules (TIMs) without providing an interface between the PC bus and the TIM-40s.
HEP40E. Gently slide the HEP40E into the relevant slot ensuring that the 'tail' of the card is in the card guide provided for it. DO NOT use excessive force on either the HEP40E or the PC.
HEP40E can also be a slave of an XDS510 type debug system. The topology chosen for the HEP40E is described in detail later but to enable the user to configure their own system topology there are also a number Comport Connectors. These allow for connections to other 'C4xs either on this board or on other boards.
The HEP40E has a socketed crystal oscillator to drive the TIM-40 clock input. This is buffered by the board, and can be fitted with whichever frequency you require your modules to run at. Please note the use of this clock by the modules is optional, as they might have their own Xtal oscillators.

This is also a TTL level signal, suitable for connecting directly to the reset input on any HUNT ENGINEERING motherboard. The TIM-40 reset is buffered and used to drive an LED labelled "RES" on the back of the board near the control connector.
JTAG output connector which is used when not the last board in the JTAG chain. Three jumpers are used to join up the scan path when this HEP40E is the last board on the JTAG chain (they should only be fitted when this is the case).
Config line. The Config is buffered and used to control an LED labelled "CONF" on the back of the board near the control connector. This LED will illuminate when the TIM's Config signal is asserted low. HUNT ENGINEERING HEP40E USER MANUAL...
The 'C4x can choose whether to poll these inputs or to set up interrupts. The inputs are pulled high on the HEP40E with 10K, and are buffered with a TTL gate that requires Iil = -1.6mA max ( Vin 0.5V) Iih = 1.0mA max (Vin 5.0V )
Care must be taken to only connect a reset_to_input comport to a reset_to_output comport. The cables available from HUNT ENGINEERING are polarised in such a way as to prevent incorrect connection. Care should be taken to ensure that any cables provided by the user are similarly polarised.

HEP40E. If you are attempting to design your own hardware to interface with the HEP40E please ask for the application note that covers this subject.
Also as the power consumption rises for each cable end fitted. These comport connections CANNOT be interconnected with earlier generations of HUNT ENGINEERING comport buffering schemes which can be identified by their different polarising schemes. HUNT ENGINEERING HEP40E USER MANUAL...
The PD jumper connects the PD signal to +5V when fitted (last board only) The TDO jumper joins "TDO from slot 4" to "TDO_RET" when fitted (last board only) The TCK jumper joins "TCK buffered" to "TCK_RET" when fitted (last board only). HUNT ENGINEERING HEP40E USER MANUAL...
Ground Ground Reset out Polarising Polarising Polarising Config Config So Standard HUNT ENGINEERING control cables can be used to connect multiple boards together as follows :- Master Board Slave board Reset Out--------------------------------------------------- Reset In GND-------------------------------------------------------- GND Config ----------------------------------------------------- Config and further slave boards can be added in the same way, as long as their reset and Config jumpers are Configured correctly.
The maximum height of the components on the back of the HEP40E is 3mm. If a "Processing module" such as the HET40SX, or HETWIN is fitted to the HEP40E, the total width of the assembly is 20mm, but if an I/O module is used, the connectors may make the total thickness more.
Power Requirements of the HEP40E The HEP40E only uses power from the 5V TIM-40 supply, but it must be remembered that +-12v is supplied to the modules on the board, so when fitted with modules it might require these supplies also.
TIM as this could stress the TIM's PCB unnecessarily. If the environment demands positive retention of the modules, use the retaining strip and nylon screws supplied with the HEP40E. Spacers will have been already been fitted, adjacent to the TIM connectors, on the HEP40E.

The retaining strip can be fitted over empty TIM slots, and held in position by screwing the fixing screws into the spacers on the board. Of course normal Static precaution procedures should be followed at all times. HUNT ENGINEERING HEP40E USER MANUAL...
The main assumptions made by HUNT ENGINEERING when CE marking the HEP40E are as follows:- 1. The PC in which the HEP40E is installed is properly assembled with EMC and LVD in mind and ideally should itself carry the CE mark.
