Subsystems
This section describes the principle subsystems for the ispMACH 4256V Breakout Board in alphabetical order.
Clock Sources
All clocks for the counter demonstration design originates from an external 5 MHz oscillator connected to Pin 128
of ispMACH 4256V chip. You may use an expansion header landing to drive a CPLD input with an alternate clock
source. To drive Pin 128 from header J4, disconnect X5 from the circuit by removing R23.
Expansion Header Landings
The expansion header landings provide access to user GPIOs, primary inputs, clocks, and Bank 0/1 VCCO pins of
the ispMACH 4256V. The remaining pins serve as power supplies for external connections. Each landing is config-
ured as one 2 x 20 100 mil.
