Ampro Corporation 5001451A manual PC/104-Plus Expansion Bus, IrDA Interface, TTL Serial Ports

Little Board P6d Module

IrDA Interface

The IrDA interface is described earlier in this chapter.

TTL Serial Ports

The TTL version of the serial ports 1,3, and 4 are brought out to the Utility connector. The TTL version of serial port 2 can be rerouted to the IrDA TX and RX lines.

Miscellaneous Power Management Signals

Table 2-42describes miscellaneous Power Management signals.

PWRBTN	Turns off all but minimum power or restores power
BATLOW	Simulates a low battery condition
RI	Ring indicator I/O: Input to wake up from power off; output from serial port 2 RI
SUSV	Low current input voltage to support power off.
SUSC	Indicates Suspend To Disk (Power Off)
SMBCLK	System Management Bus Clock
SMBDATA	System Management Bus Data I/O
SMBALRT	System Management Bus Alert
BATV	External Battery Input (Only used for special options)

PC/104-Plus Expansion Bus

The PC/104-Plus expansion bus appears on three header connectors, J1, J2, and J3. J1 is a 64-pin female dual-row header. J2 is a 40-pin female dual-row header, and J3 is a 120-pin 2mm female quad-row header (4 x 30). The PC bus subset of the PC/104-Plus expansion bus connects to J1. The AT expansion bus signals connect to J2. The layout of signals on J1 and J2 is compliant with the PC/104 bus specification, and make up the ISA bus portion of the PC/104-Plus bus. An implementation of the PCI bus appears on J3.

PC/104-compatible expansion modules can be installed on the Little Board P6d expansion bus. The buffered output signals to the expansion bus are standard TTL level signals. All inputs to the Little Board P6d system operate at TTL levels and present a typical CMOS load to the expansion bus.

On-board MiniModule Expansion Details

When installed on the PC/104 expansion bus headers, expansion modules fit within the Little Board P6d module's outline dimensions. You can install one or more Ampro MiniModule products or other PC/104 modules on the Little Board P6d expansion connectors. When installed on J1 and J2, the expansion modules fit within the Little Board P6d module’s outline dimensions.
