Features
- ATX Power Connector
- 16 Bit ISA bus
Required Tools
- Soldering Iron,
- Rosin core solder
- Wire cutters
- Pliers
- Multimeter (optional: if you want to check for shorts)
Assembly Steps
Start with the shorter components first. This way you can lay the board down flat on the table and be able to solder them in. The taller components go next. The recommended order is as follows.
1. IC Sockets
| component type | reference | Name | Qty |
|---|---|---|---|
| socket | U5, U6, U7 | 14 pin 300 mil DIP socket | 3 |
| socket | U1, U2 | 16 pin 300 mil DIP socket | 4 |
| socket | U3, U4 | 20 pin 300 mil DIP socket | 2 |
2. Capacitors
| component type | reference | Name | Qty |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCB | PCB | 1 | |
| Capacitor | C1 - C51 | 10 uF ceramic, 5.08 mm lead spacing | 51 |
| Capacitor | C52 | 1 uF ceramic, 5.08 mm lead spacing | 1 |
| Capacitor | C53 - C59 | 0.1 uF ceramic, 5.08 mm lead spacing | 7 |
Polarity doesn't matter unless you are using electrolytic ones.
3. ISA Slots
| component type | reference | Name | Qty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connector | BUS1 - BUS8 | Edge Connector 98 Pin | 8 |
4 LED Lights
| component type | reference | Name | Qty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diode | D1 - D5 | 5 mm LED | 5 |
5 ATX Power connector
Board connector as it would appear looking down on the board. The plastic tab will be on the left side towards the inside of the board.
Note also the power connector pins will need to be bent slightly with pliers as the pin spacing on the PCB is a little wider than the power connector spacing.
| component type | reference | Name | Qty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connector | P3 | ATX Connector | 1 |
LED Display Configuration
The ISA Backplane board supports a variety of 7-segment decoders and common anode / common cathode type LED displays. Please use the following table to determine the proper jumper pin configuration for J2 J3 and J4
7-Segment Decoders and Matching Displays
| 7-Segment Decoder Type | Hexadecimal Support | Matching Display Type | J2 | J3 | J4 | Built in current limiters 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 74LS47, 74LS247 | Limited - Displays distinct figures for codes A-F | Common anode | 2-3 | 2-3 | 2-3 | No |
| 74LS48, 74LS248 | Limited - Displays distinct figures for codes A-F | Common cathode | 1-2 | 2-3 | 2-3 | No |
| CD4511, MC14511, 74HCT4511 | No - Displays nothing (blank) for codes A-F | Common cathode | 1-2 | 2-3 | 1-2 | No |
| Mitel MD4311BE | Yes | Common cathode | 1-2 | 2-3 | 1-2 | No |
| DM9368 | Yes | Common cathode | 1-2 | 1-2 | 2-3 | Yes |
| DM9370 | Yes | Common anode | 2-3 | 1-2 | 2-3 | No |
| DM9374 | Limited - Displays distinct figures for codes A-F | Common anode | 2-3 | 1-2 | 2-3 | Yes |
| D345D | Yes | Common anode | 2-3 | 1-2 | 2-3 | No |
| D346D | Yes | Common anode | 2-3 | Trim2 | 2-3 | Yes |
| D347D | Limited - Displays distinct figures for codes A-F | Common anode | 2-3 | 1-2 | 2-3 | No |
| D348D | Limited - Displays distinct figures for codes A-F | Common anode | 2-3 | Trim2 | 2-3 | Yes |
- No need for current limiting resistor arrays (RR1, RR2), two 470 Ohm resistors should be used to limit current for the decimal point segment.These resistors should be installed between pins 8 and 9 of RR1 and RR2 or a DIP 16 isolated resistor arrays could be used.
- For decoders D346D and D348D the RV1 trimmer should be installed instead of the J3. This trimmer is used to adjust the intensity of the LED display.
ISA Bus
Power On and Test
The goal is to identify any short circuits that would cause problems. Before powering on the device check to see if there are shorts across any of the rails of the PCB.
- Turn on the backplane and use a volt meter to check voltage across the PCB including the expansion slots.
- Plug in the ATX power connector and the PCB and the standby light should go on.
- Then click the power button and the power lights should go on.
- The -5V regulator is option and if your power supply does not provide -5V then you can solder that in as well. Once the regulator is installed the -5V light should go on as well.
