Socket Card and Routing Card
A
socket card
is a general card that does not have any device specific hardware. E.g. a TQFP-64 socket card can be used for all devices that comes
in a TQFP-64 package, regardless of pinout.
A routing card is a device specific card. It routes signals between the STK600 motherboard and the socket card. Note that several devices may use
the same routing card if they share the same pinout.
A set of spring loaded connectors make the connection between the motherboard, routing card and socket card. Clips or screws hold the stack of
cards together.
In addition to the socket and routing cards included in the kit, there are several add-on packs available to expand the part support for the STK600.
See the
Device Support
page to get an overview over the different socket and routing cards.
