Appendix A. Specifications

Appendix A provides the specifications for the BL2100 and describes the conformal coating.

A.1 Electrical and Mechanical Specifications

Figure A-1 shows the mechanical dimensions for the BL2100.

NOTE All measurements are in inches followed by millimeters enclosed in parentheses.

Table A-1 provides the pin 1 locations for the BL2100 headers used to mount the LCD/keypad module as viewed in Figure A-1.

It is recommended that you allow for an "exclusion zone" of 0.25" (6 mm) around the BL2100 in all directions when the BL2100 is incorporated into an assembly that includes other components. This "exclusion zone" that you keep free of other components and boards will allow for sufficient air flow, and will help to minimize any electrical or EMI interference between adjacent boards. An "exclusion zone" of 0.12" (3 mm) is recommended below the BL2100. Figure A-2 shows this "exclusion zone."

Table A-2 lists the electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications for the BL2100 without the optional LCD/keypad module plugged in. Appendix C provides specifications for the LCD/keypad.

A.2 Conformal Coating

The areas around the crystal oscillator and the battery backup circuit on the BL2100 module have had the Dow Corning silicone-based 1-2620 conformal coating applied. The conformally coated areas are shown in Figure A-3. The conformal coating protects these high-impedance circuits from the effects of moisture and contaminants over time.


Figure A-3. BL2100 Areas Receiving Conformal Coating

Any components in the conformally coated area may be replaced using standard soldering procedures for surface-mounted components. A new conformal coating should then be applied to offer continuing protection against the effects of moisture and contaminants.

NOTE For more information on conformal coatings, refer to Rabbit Semiconductor Technical Note 303, Conformal Coatings.

1 Although pins 1-3 and 4-6 of header JP1 are shown "jumpered" for the termination and bias resistors not connected, pins 3 and 4 are not actually connected to anything, and this configuration is a "parking" configuration for the jumpers so that they will be readily available should you need to enable the termination and bias resistors in the future.

A.5 I/O Address Assignments

Table A-5 lists the external I/O addresses for the digital inputs and outputs.

Table A-5. Digital I/O Addresses
External Address
Name
Function
0000 DIPA Digital inputs IN00-07, read only
0001 DOPA Digital outputs OUT00-OUT07, write only
0002 DIPB Digital inputs IN08-15, read only
0003 DOPB Digital outputs OUT08-OUT15, write only

PE1 serves as a system-enable control. When PE1 is high or in a high-impedance status, all BL2100 outputs are disabled (digital outputs and analog outputs are disabled, and RS-485 is at listen status).

PE0 is configured as a strobe and is used for digital inputs, digital outputs, and the control register. The control register is located at 0xx4-0xx7, write only. The function of each bit is listed in Table A-6.

Table A-6. Control Register Bit Map (External 0x0004-0x007)
Bit
Name
Function
0 485_SEND RS-485 send/receive
1 DO_CS0 Digital output 0-08, enable low active
2 DO_CS1 Digital output 09-16, enable low active
3 Not used Not used
4 AO_CS Analog output 00-04, enable low active
5 DAC_CS0 Chip select for analog ch 00 and 01
6 DAC_CS1 Chip select for analog ch 02 and 03
7 ADC_CS Chip select for A/D converter

PA0-PA7 are used with IN16-IN23, which may be reconfigured as sinking digital outputs OUT16-OUT23 by installing/removing components as reflected in the schematic.

All analog inputs and outputs are accessed by a series connection. PD3 is served as a clock line while PB0 and PB7 are used for data in and data out, respectively.

PD4 and PD5 are used for RS-485 communication. The direction of the communication is controlled by the control register. PC0, PC1, and PC2, PC3 are used for RS-232 communication. They can be used separately as two 3-wire RS-232, or they may be combined to work as a 5-wire RS-232 port.
