SP791 Evaluation Board Manual ® ■ Easy Evaluation for the SP791 Microprocessor Supervisory Circuit ■ Probe Points Accessible for all SP791 Pins ■ 16 Pin Narrow SOIC or DIP Sockets Available for the SP791 Circuit ■ Convenient Layout of Input Option Probe Points DESCRIPTION… The SP791 Evaluation Board is designed to help analyze the many functions of the SP791 µP Supervisory circuit. The evaluation board provides easy probe access points to all SP791 pins so that the user can measure electrical characteristics and waveforms of each signal. The SP791 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 SP791 Board Layout and Using the SP791 Evaluation Boards. A table of SP791 Pin Assignments is also included with a section on Power Supply Connections. A SP791 Evaluation Board List of Materials is provided with some manufacturers part numbers to use as a reference. Finally, a schematic is included of the SP791 Evaluation Board. SP791EB/04 SP791 Evaluation Board Manual 1 ©Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation BOARD LAYOUT The SP791 Evaluation Board has been designed to easily and conveniently provide access to all pins of the SP791 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 SP791 device starting in the top left with VBATT as pin one. The pin receptacles are raised female pins which can accommodate easyhook connection leads for power and meter connections, as well as scope probe hooks and grounds for waveform measurements. 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 4.0 V and vary VCC from 0V to 5V to 0V and observe VOUT. (Note: a 0.1µF bypass capacitor (C1) is connected from VOUT to GND). Pin 3 - VCC - Input Supply Voltage - +5V input. A 0.1µF 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 VOUT switches to VBATT. Goes low when VOUT switches to VCC. Connect the base of a PNP through a current-limiting resistor to BATT ON for VOUT current requirements greater than 250mA. The 16 pin SP791 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 SP791 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 SWT 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 6 - PFO - Power-Fail Output. This is the output of the power-fail comparator. PFO, goes low when PFI is less than1.25V. This is an uncommitted comparator, and has no effect on any other internal circuitry. Pin 7 - PFI - Power-Fail Input. This is the non-inverting input to the power-fail comparator. When PFI is less than 1.25V, PFO 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. USING THE EVALUATION BOARD Connect the SP791 Evaluation Board to the power supplies for VCC and VBATT (see the section Power Supply Connections following the table SP791 Pin Assignments). It is good practice to not switch power on until power connections are made to the evaluation board. Pin 8 - SWT - Set Watchdog-Timeout Input. Connect this input to VOUT to select the default 1.6 sec watchdog timeout period. Connect a capacitor (CSWT ) between the Probe Input Pins SWT and GND to select another watchdogtimeout period. Watchdog-timeout period = 2.1 x (capacitor value in nF) ms. Evaluating Pin Functions Pin 1 - V BATT - Backup-Battery Input. Connect to external supply, battery or capacitor and charging circuit. Pin 9 - MR - Manual-Reset Input. This input can be tied to an external momentary pushbutton switch, or to a logic gate output. RESET remains low as long as MR is held Low and for 200ms after MR returns high. Connect MR to Probe Pin GND to cause a RESET active low. 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 SP791EB/04 SP791 Evaluation Board Manual 2 ©Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation Pin 10 - LOWLINE - LOWLINE Output goes low when VCC falls to 150mV above the reset threshold. The output can be used to generate a NMI (non-maskable interrupt) if the unregulated supply is inaccessible Pin 16 - WDPO - Watchdog-Pulse Output. Upon the absence of a transition at WDI,WDPO will pulse low for 1ms. WDPO precedes WDO by 70ns. 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 11 - WDI - Watchdog Input. WDI is a threelevel input. If WDI remains either high or low for longer than the watchdog timeout period, WDO goes low. WDO remains low until the next transition at WDI. Leaving WDI unconnected disables the watchdog function. WDI connects to an internal voltage divider between VOUT and GND, which sets it to 1.8V 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 and produce pulses at WDPO every 1.6 seconds. (typically 1.6 seconds unless an external capacitor is used at the SWT pin). 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. 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 15us or until CE IN goes high, whichever occurs first. Pin 13 - CE IN - Chip-Enable Input. The Input to chip-enable gating circuit. Connect to GND or VOUT if not used. Pin 14 - WDO - Watchdog Output. WDO goes low 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 15 - RESET - RESET Output goes low whenever VCC falls below the reset threshold. RESET will remain low for 200ms after VCC crosses the reset threshold on power-up.
