Cygnal C8051F016 Processing Module

Description
All hardware supporting the operation of the microprocessor as well as the microprocessor itself is contained on the processor module. The pushpin processor module consists of a Cygnal C8051F016 microprocessor, a 25-pin board-to board connector, an LED and associated resistor, a 22.118MHz crystal and two associated capacitors, a capacitor across the power supply, and a pull-up resistor on the /reset pin of the processor.

The processor module connects to the communications module below it with twelve electrical connections:

• power
• ground
• transmit
• receive
• a 12-bit digital-to-analog converter
• a 10-bit analog-to-digital channel
• six general purpose IO pins, four of which can act as external interrupts

The processor module connects to the expansion module above with 27 electrical connections:

• power
• ground
• transmit
• receive
• a 12-bit digitial-to-analog converter
• seven 10-bit analog-to-digital channels
• inverting and noninverting inputs to a comparator
• noninverting input to another comparator
• eight general purpose I/O pins
• four JTAG pins through which the processor is programmed and debugged

The DAC and one of the GPIO pins are the same as those that connect with the communication module. All connections to the expansion module are through a single 25-pin connector, except for the receive and transmit lines, which each has its own optional connector.
