The Prototyping Board comes with the basic components necessary to demonstrate the
operation of the PowerCore module. Two user LEDs (DS5 and DS6) are connected to
PowerCore module’s pins PC2 and PD5, and may be driven as output indicators as shown
in the sample applications. Two switches (S2 and S3) are connected to PG4 and PC3 to
demonstrate the interface to the Rabbit 3000 microprocessor. Reset switch S1 is the hard-
ware reset for the PowerCore module.
The Prototyping Board provides the user with the PowerCore module’s connection points
brought out conveniently to labeled points at J4 on the Prototyping Board. Although J4 is
unstuffed, a 2 × 25 header is included in the bag of parts.
Analog signals are available at J3 on the Prototyping Board. Although J3 is unstuffed, a
2 × 4 header is included in the bag of parts.
RS-232 signals are available on header J1, and digital and triac outputs are available on
header J2.
There is a through-hole prototyping space available on the Prototyping Board. The holes in
the prototyping area are spaced at 0.1" (2.5 mm). +3.45 V, +5 V, and GND traces run along
one edges of the prototyping area. Small to medium circuits can be prototyped using point-
to-point wiring with 20 to 30 AWG wire between the prototyping area, the +3.45 V, +5 V,
and GND traces, and the surrounding area where surface-mount components may be
installed. Small holes are provided around the surface-mounted components that may be
installed around the prototyping area.
B.4.1 Adding Other Components
There are pads for 6-pin, 16-pin, and 28-pin devices that can be used for prototyping with
surface-mount devices. There are also pads that can be used for SMT resistors and capaci-
tors in an 0805 SMT package. Each component has every one of its pin pads connected to
a hole in which a 30 AWG wire can be soldered (standard wire wrap wire can be soldered
in for point-to-point wiring on the Prototyping Board). Because the traces are very thin,
carefully determine which set of holes is connected to which surface-mount pad.
