Applications Board
The applications board has been designed to aid the teaching of
microprocessor interfacing from simple switch and lamp
input/output through to more complex closed-loop and open-
loop control systems.
The new board layout enables students to easily understand
each experiment section as it is worked upon. The wide array of
features incorporated into the board include digital switches,
traffic light color LED displays, temperature, light, and optical
position/speed sensors, a heater, a DC motor, an LED bargraph,
and a potentiometer. A screw terminal is also provided for
external analog input.
Motorola MC68000 microprocessor with 16-bit data bus and 24-bit address bus
10MHz generated by a CMOS oscillator
16K bytes fitted as standard, expandable to 256K bytes RAM
User RAM Address Range: 400400h-403FFFh (400400h-43FFFFh when
expanded)
Two 27256 32K EPROMs containing the 64K bytes monitor program,
expandable to 128K bytes with use of two 27512 64K EPROMs
