ZXNet echo conference «hardware.zx»
From Kamil Karimov → To All 14 March 2006
Hello caro
As a result of assembling and debugging the first copies of ZX_MCard, it took a little
finalize the diagram.
The final version replaced the old one in the first post of this topic.
The improvements mainly concern the real-time clock.
1) I had to put a 6.8 pF capacitor between the connection input
quartz
and power supply to the RTC chip, otherwise the quartz worked at a higher frequency.
2) I also had to install 10 kOhm pull-up resistors on the data lines
and clock
i2c interface frequencies.
3) In order to use standard cords to connect COM ports
from IBM motherboards, it is advisable to correct the MAX232 pinout to
connector X2.
In principle, you can do without this by unsoldering the DB9M connection, as shown
on the diagram.
I'll post photos of the improvements a little later.
