/KLOCK (keyboard lock)

input on CPU modules output on any other module

input to the keyboard controller input port 1 bit 7 .

POWERGOOD (reset input)

input on CPU modules

open collector output on all other module

When power good goes high, it starts the reset generator on the CPU module to pull the onboard reset line high after a valid reset period. This pin can also be used as a low active hardware reset for modules.

SPKR (speaker output)

open collector output on modules which can drive a loudspeaker. input on modules which connect a 8 Ohm loudspeaker to this pin

An 8 Ohm loudspeaker is connected between SPEAKER and GND. Only one loudspeaker should be connected to this pin. Usually only the CPU drives this pin, however other modules can also use this signal to drive the system loudspeaker.

KDATA (keyboard data)

bi-directional I/O pin on CPU modules Keyboard data signal.

KCLK (keyboard clock)

bi-directional I/O pin on CPU modules Keyboard clock signal.

VBAT (system battery connection)

This pin connects a system battery to all modules.

The battery voltage has to be higher than 3.0V and lower than 4.0V. Either a 3V or 3.6V battery is recommended.

Note, that there is no battery needed to hold the CMOS-setup data. Your configuration concerning hard disks, floppy drives etc. is automatically saved in an onboard FRAM. Nevertheless the battery is necessary to serve the CMOS date and time while power consumption is turned off.
