Floppy
OD This active low output is a write-precompensated
serial data to be written onto the selected disk
drive. Each falling edge causes a flux change on
the media

This signal selects whether LPT or Floppy interface
will be used with SOM-ETX-interface. The following
signals are multifunctional and depending on level
of signal LPT/FLPY# LPT-interface (LPT/FLPY#:
nc., default) or Floppy-interface (LPT/FLPY#: low)
will be used

Note
5.10.2.1 Parallel Port Implementation Notes
The pull-up resistors are not been implemented in all SOM modules, please refer to
Table 5.21 for detail. If the pull-up resistors are not been added-in, it should be
designed on baseboard for the signals that needed. In additional, it also can use a
PAC128404Q which includes pull-up, series termination, an EMI filter capacitor, and
ESD protection for the capacitors to implement parallel port design.
The diode in the pull-up power path can be add so that a powered parallel port
device (such as a printer) will not source current into the power plane of an un-
powered SOM-ETX module. Such phantom powering could interfere with the proper
operation of reset and power control circuits on the SOM-ETX module. If there is no
possibility of the parallel device being powered while the SOM-ETX module is not,
then the diode is unnecessary.
