KFLOP - Connector Pinouts

KFLOP Connectors

JR1 - +5V Power (regulated +/- 5%)

Typical current = 0.35Amps with no user I/O connected. More current may be required dependent on the amount of Digital I/O and option boards. +5V @ 2.5A should be more than sufficient under all conditions. The +12V input is not used internally by the board, but is routed to pins on the JP4, JP6, and JP7 connectors for the convenience of the user. +5V power is also routed to the same connectors. 5V power may be applied at whichever connector is more convenient. This connector is rated for 6.5Amps per connection.

This connector is a standard PC-disk drive power connector which makes it easy to drive the board with an inexpensive PC power supply.

Under some conditions USB power may be used to avoid requiring an external +5V power supply connection. USB specifies a maximum of 500ma may be drawn from the USB cable. KFLOP itself consumes 350ma. If external IO draws less than the remaining 150ma USB supplied power may be used. To utilize USB power connect Jumper J3 and do not supply +5V into any of the KFLOP connectors.

JP2 - JTAG

This connector is only used for advanced debugging using an XDS510 JTAG type in circuit emulator. A small amount of regulated 3.3V (<0.5 Amp) is available on this connector if needed for external use.

JP7 - Digital IO

18 LVTTL bi-directional digital I/O, and +5, +12V, 3.3V power supply outputs. 3.3V is generated internally from the applied +5V. +12V is available if +12V is applied by the User to JR1. +12V is not used by KFLOP but routed through KFLOP to various connectors for the convenience of the User. Many Digital I/O bits are pre-defined as encoder, home, or limit inputs (see table below) but if not required for the particular application may be used as general purpose I/O. Digital Outputs may sink/source 10 ma. Digital I/O is LVTTL (3.3V) but are 5V tolerant except for IO44_3V and IO45_3V. None of the IO including the 5V tolerant IO should be driven hard (>10ma) above 3.8V.

Caution! This connector contains 12V signals. Shorts to low voltage pins will cause permanent damage to the board!

JP4 - Aux Connector #0

Auxiliary connector which supplies power, reset, and 10 digital I/O (LVTTL 3.3V only) which is normally connected to optional expansion daughter boards (ie. SnapAmp 1000). If no expansion module is required, these digital I/O may be used for general purpose use. The first 8 IO (IO16-IO23) contain 150ohm termination resistors (pull downs).
