Utility Interface
The Utility interface provides various utility and I/O signals on the module and consists of a 10-pin, 0.1"
header. The Vortex CPU drives the signals on the Utility interface, and Table 3-10 provides the signal
definitions.

Keyboard
The signal lines for a PS/2 keyboard are provided from the Vortex CPU to the Utility interface.
Mouse
The signal lines for a PS/2 mouse are provided from the Vortex CPU to the Utility interface.
Battery
An external battery input connection is provided through the Utility interface to support a battery backup for
the CMOS RAM and the RTC (Real Time Clock).
Reset Switch
An external reset switch provides the reset signal through the Utility interface to a reset circuit, which drives
the Vortex CPU.
Speaker
The speaker signal provides sufficient signal strength to drive a 1W 8

“Beep” speaker through the Utility
interface at an audible level. The speaker signal is driven from an on board amplifier and the Vortex CPU.
Table 3-10 describes the pin signals of the Utility interface, which uses a 10-pin, right-angle header with 2
rows, odd/even sequence (1, 2), and 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch.
