The evaluation board provides easy probe access points to all SP691A/693A pins so that the user can measure electrical characteristics and waveforms of each signal. The SP691A/693A Evaluation Board also provides solder pads for DIP or SOIC packages, as well as options for DIP or SOIC sockets for easy evaluation of multiple devices. The next two sections describe the SP691A/693A Board Layout and Using the SP691A/ 693A Evaluation Boards. A table of SP691A/693A Pin Assignments is also included with a section on Power Supply Connections. A SP691A/693A Evaluation Board List of Materials is provided with some manufacturers part numbers to use as a reference. Finally, a schematic is included of the SP691A/693A Evaluation Board. SP691AEB/03 SP691A/693A Evaluation Board Manual 1 © Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation BOARD LAYOUT Evaluating Pin Functions Pin 1 – V BATT – Backup-Battery Input. Connect to external supply, battery or capacitor and charging circuit. If this pin is not used, connect to GND. The SP691A/693A Evaluation Board has been designed to easily and conveniently provide access to all pins of the SP691A/693A device under test. Position the board with the silkscreen lettering upright (also see drawing on the front page of this manual) and you will see two vertical rows of eight pins each, which represent the 16 pins of the SP691A/693A device starting in the top left with VBATT as pin one. The pin receptacles are raised female pins which can accommodate easy-hook connection leads for power and meter connections, as well as scope probe hooks and grounds for waveform measurements. Pin 2 – VOUT – Output Supply Voltage. This function is used to provide power supply switching of either V CC or V BATT to an external device like a CMOS RAM to ensure a constant supply for the memory. To evaluate this function, vary the VCC voltage for a set VBATT voltage until you simulate the following conditions: VOUT connects to VCC when VCC is greater than VBATT and VCC is above the reset threshold. When VCC falls below VBATT and VCC is below the reset threshold, VOUT connects to VBATT. Start with VBATT voltage of about 2.8 to 4.0V and vary VCC from 0V to 5V to 0V and observe V OUT . (Note: a 0.1µF bypass capacitor (C1) is connected from VOUT to GND). Connect VOUT to VCC if no backup battery is used. The 16 pin SP691A/693A may be installed in one of 3 locations: U1 for DIP or DIP sockets, U3 for SOICs or U2 for SOIC sockets. The five input pins for the SP691A/693A are provided with extra Input Probe Points for connecting inputs to these pins. For example pin 11 WDI has nearby pins VOUT and GND to connect to for evaluation of WDI timeout. These female receptacle pins can be jumpered together with easy-hook connectors or stripped back solid wire leads. In the case of inputs OSC IN, OSC SEL or PFI, a resistor or capacitor with leads may be pushed into the female receptacle pins to make easy connections. Also, mating male pins (see List of Materials) may be soldered to the components and inserted into the receptacle pins. Pin 3 – VCC – Input Supply Voltage - +5V input. A 0.1(F bypass capacitor (C2) is connected from VCC to GND. Pin 4 – GND – Ground reference for all signals. Pin 5 – BATT ON – Battery On Output. Goes high when V OUT switches to V BATT . Goes low when V OUT switches to V CC. Connect the base of a PNP through a current-limiting resistor to BATT ON for V OUT current requirements greater than 250mA. USING THE EVALUATION BOARD Pin 6 - LOWLINE - LOWLINE Output goes low when VCC falls below the reset threshold. It returns high as soon as VCC rises above the reset threshold. The output can be used to generate a NMI (non-maskable interrupt) if the unregulated supply is inaccessible. Connect the SP691A/693A Evaluation Board to the power supplies for V CC and V BATT (see the section Power Supply Connections following the table SP691A/693A Pin Assignments). It is good practice to not switch power on until power connections are made to the evaluation board. SP691AEB/03 SP691A/693A Evaluation Board Manual 2 © Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation Pin 7 – OSC IN – External Oscillator Input. When OSC SEL is unconnected or driven high, a 10µA pull-up connects from VOUT to OSC IN, the internal oscillator sets the reset and watchdog timeout periods, and OSC IN selects between fast and slow watchdog timeout periods. When OSC SEL is driven low, the reset and watchdog timeout periods may be set either by a capacitor from OSC IN to ground or by an external clock at OSC IN. When Reset is asserted, this path is disabled. Note that CE OUT goes low (active) only when CE IN is low and VCC is above the reset threshold. If CE IN is low when reset is asserted, CE OUT will stay low for 12µs or until CE IN goes high, whichever occurs first. Pin 8 – OSC SEL – Oscillator Select. When OSC SEL is unconnected or driven high, the internal oscillator sets the reset and watchdog timeout periods. When OSC SEL is low, the external oscillator input (OSC IN) is enabled. OSC SEL has a 10µA pull-up. Pin 14 –WDO – Watchdog Output. WDO goes low and reset is asserted if WDI remains either high or low longer than the watchdog timeout period. WDO returns high on the next transition at WDI. WDO remains high if WDI is unconnected. WDO is also high when RESET is asserted. Pin 13 – CE IN – Chip-Enable Input. The Input to chip-enable gating circuit. Connect to GND or VOUT if not used. Pin 9 – PFI – Power-Fail Input. This is the non-inverting input to the power-fail comparator. When PFI is less than 1.25V, PFO_N goes low. Connect PFI to GND or VOUT when not used. Connect external divider R1 & R2 to Probe Pins and connect Unregulated Voltage to UNREG for Power Fail monitoring. Pin 15 – RESET – RESET output goes low whenever VCC falls below the reset threshold. RESET will remain low for 200ms (when internal oscillator is used) after VCC crosses the reset threshold on power-up. Pin 10 – PFO – Power-Fail Output. This is the output of the power-fail comparator. PFO, goes low when PFI is less than 1.25V. This is an uncommitted comparator, and has no effect on any other internal circuitry. Pin 16 – RESET – RESET Output goes high whenever VCC falls below the reset threshold. RESET is open drain and is the inverse of RESET. Pin 11 – WDI – Watchdog Input. WDI is a three-level input. If WDI remains either high or low for longer than the watchdog timeout period, WDO goes low and reset is asserted for the reset timeout period. WDO remains low until the next transition at WDI. Leaving WDI unconnected disables the watchdog function. WDI connects to an internal voltage divider between V OUT and GND, which sets it to mid-supply when left unconnected. For a simple check of watchdog function, connect WDI to either Probe pins GND or VOUT to cause WDO to go to a Logic Low. Note: To accurately measure the extremely small supply current in Battery Back-up mode, you need to cut split pads SP1 & SP2 (solder side of board) severing connections to C1 & C2 which would have leakage currents in the measurement range. Also, remove charging circuit components CBATT and D1 if they are installed. Pin 12 – CE OUT – Chip-Enable Output. The Chip-Enable (CE) function CE OUT provides internal gating of chip enable signals to prevent erroneous data from corrupting the CMOS RAM in the event of a power failure. During normal operation, the CE gate is enabled and all CE transitions are passed from CE IN to CE OUT.
