Sharing a port

There are times when you need to split a 

port into several sections, or where signals 

on a port need to be shared between two or 

more downstream E-blocks boards. In this 

case you need to use a splitter cable. As an 

example of this: supposing that you wanted 

to develop a system that used two external 

analogue sensors. The Sensor board only 

has the capability for one external analogue 

sensor, so you need to use a splitter 

cable and the patch system to make the 

appropriate connections.  The splitter cable 

allows you to connect one upstream port to 

two downstream ports using IDC (Insulation 

Displacement Connector) connectors and 

ribbon cable. Here the link blocks on both 

boards are in the ‘patch’ position. On the top 

board the Analogue sensor is routed to bit 

1, and on the bottom board the Analogue 

sensor is routed to bit 2. This technique 

allows you share ports between several 

devices - this is particularly convenient for 

communications systems where a device’s 

serial port has to be shared.

Protecting E-blocks circuitry

Where possible leaded components have 

been used for all devices on E-blocks boards 

that can be subjected to electrical damage. 

This means that in the case where devices on 

the E-blocks boards do become damaged, 

the task of replacing them is very simple. 

Some upstream boards (ARM processor 

boards and FPGA board) make use of surface 

mounted technology components which can 

not be socketed and which are not easy to 

solder. In these cases we have used smaller 

daughter boards so that if the key device 

is broken then you can simply order a new 

daughter board. 

To protect upstream components, all 

downstream E-blocks have been developed 

with protective resistors so that it is not 

possible to damage an upstream E-block by 

improperly declaring an input as an output, 

and having two output pins with different 

output levels clash.

However there are circumstances where it 

will still be possible to electrically damage 

your E-blocks: 

 

• 

When using screw terminal connectors    

  turn power off when routing power wires. 

 

When connecting two upstream boards  

  together with a gender changer or IDC  

  cable then you are connecting one output   

  to another. It is strongly recommended that   

  you use protective resistors for the lines you  

  need to connect to prevent chip damage. 

 

Although modern chips are less prone to  

  static damage these days, you are advised  

  to make sure you are earthed before   

  handling E-blocks circuit boards. If you have 

  not got access to an antistatic wristband 

  then quickly touching a radiator or other 

  earthed device will minimise the likelihood 

  of static damage. 

 

When using a patch or prototype board you  

  have the opportunity to connect external  

  components directly to the pin of the micro 

  controller or CPLD device. This also means  

  that you have the opportunity to short  

  circuit the device to 0V or +V.
