Power and Communication Interfaces

The following are the power and communication interfaces:

9 V DC power supply powers the board

Two RS-232 DB9 connectors and an RS-485 connector with two ports

Zilog IrDA transceiver is integrated onto the Z8 Encore!® evaluation board

Smart Cable

The Z8 Encore! Smart Cable enables communication with the Host computer. The Z8 Encore! Smart Cable converts a one-wire interface into a two-wire (TxD and RxD RS-232-like interface with RS-232 levels).

Expansion Module Interface

The Expansion Module Interface allows addition of any plug-in modules. The Expansion Module Interface brings out the signals from the Z8 Encore! device for debug and testing.

Two 60-pin male headers, J6 and J8, implement the Expansion Module Interface. Tables 5 and Table 6 list the signals and their direction, where applicable.
