Utility Interfaces

The Utility interfaces consist of two headers that provide the standard interface signals for the following

devices:

•

Utility 1 (J15)

♦

Keyboard

♦

External battery connection

♦

Reset Switch

♦

Speaker

•

Utility 2 (J13)

♦

PS/2 Mouse

♦

SMBus

♦

Power button

Utility 1 Interface

The Utility 1 (J15) interface uses a 16-pin connector and provides the various interface signals to an external

I/O board with external connections for the respective connectors such as, keyboard, speaker, etc.

Table 3-7

provides the pin-outs and interface signals for Utility 1 interface and uses 16 pins, 2 rows, odd/even, (1, 2)
with 0.100" pin spacing.

•

Keyboard

•

Battery

•

Reset Switch

•

Speaker

•

External voltages (+3.3V Out to Power On LED and +5V Power Out to Keyboard)

Keyboard Interface

The signal lines for a PS/2 keyboard are provided through the Utility 1 interface, which is also fully PC/AT

compatible.

External Battery

An external battery input connection is provided through a Utility 1 interface for the Real Time Clock’s
operation in the event the on-board battery is not used.

Reset Switch

The signal lines for a reset switch are provided through the Utility 1 interface.

Speaker

The signal lines for a speaker port with 0.1-watt drive are provided through a Utility 1 interface (J15).

NOTE

To perform the equivalent of a power-on reset, the reset button must be pressed
and held for a minimum of three seconds.
