The Application Board for the Starter Kit Series for TLCS-900 microprocessor devices (TOPAS900 series) is a hardware platform to develop and test frequently used functions.
The picture below shows the Application Board PCB:
Hardware
The PCB is composed of the following components:
- LCD-Display with 2x16 characters
- Two serial communication ports (UARTs) with RS232 drivers
- 4-key inputs
- LED output
- Analog input pins
- Analog output pins
- Potentiometer for defined analog input
- LM75 - intelligent temperature sensor with I²C interface
- ST95040 - EEPROM device with SPI interface
- three connectors for three starter kits of the TOPAS900 series PGA104 socket for TOPAS900 Flash II
- 34-pin pin header for TOPAS900 CAN
- 6 rows of 17 pins each, for TOPAS900 Standard
