1 Introduction
This product is an evaluation board for the PCAN-MicroMod FD and allows the concep-
tion and development of own circuits with CAN connection and I/O functionality. It
can also be used for training purposes for CAN and CAN FD setups. Via pick-offs,
screw terminals, switches, and potentiometers, the user can access the resources of
the attached PCAN-MicroMod FD and check configurations or test circuits.
The configuration is done with a supplied Windows software which transfers the
configuration data to the module via CAN. The optionally available Evaluation Kit
includes the CAN interface and a CAN cable required for this purpose.
This document describes the hardware and functions of the Evaluation Board. A
separate document is available for the plug-in board PCAN-MicroMod FD itself.

2 Setting Up the Evaluation Kit for
Operation
This chapter gives an overview of the required steps for setting up the Evaluation Kit
(includes PC-CAN interface PCAN-USBFD and a terminated CAN cable).
Tip: For the communication with the PCAN-MicroMod FD, you
can also use another PC-CAN interface from PEAK-System,
preferably one with CAN FD capability.
Attention! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or
destroy components on the circuit board. Take precautions to
avoid ESD when handling the circuit board.
Do the following for the setup:
1. On the PC under Windows, install the device driver for our PC-CAN interfaces
from the supplied data carrier.
2. Use the supplied CAN cable with integrated CAN bus termination to connect
the PCAN-USBFD and the Evaluation Board (connector J4 CAN).
3. Connect the PCAN-USBFD to a USB port on your PC.
4. To supply the Evaluation Board with power, use the USB cable to connect the
Evaluation Board and either a USB port on the computer or a power supply
unit.
5. Under Windows, install the configuration program PCAN-MicroMod FD Config-
uration from the supplied data carrier (Tools section).

6. Start PCAN-MicroMod FD Configuration, create a configuration, and finally
send this configuration to the PCAN-MicroMod FD (see program help).
You can now work with signals at the inputs and outputs as defined in the config-
uration and use the CAN monitor PCAN-View on the PC to monitor and send CAN
messages.

3 Components of the Evaluation
Board
This chapter describes the function units and connectors of the Evaluation Board. For
details you can also refer to the circuit diagram, Appendix B Circuit Diagram Evalu-
ation Board on page31.
3.1 Socket for PCAN-MicroModFD (J1A/J1B)
For orientation when plugging the MicroModFD onto the evaluation board, white
triangular markings are provided both on the MicroModFD (upper left corner) and on
the Evaluation Board. These markings must align.

Positioning markings on the PCAN-MicroModFD and on the Evaluation Board
Via the test points on fields J2A and J2B (arranged laterally to the socket strips for
the MicroModFD) each pin of the plugged-on MicroModFD can be accessed directly.

3.2 Power Supply (J6, J7)
The Evaluation Board requires a supply voltage of 5V DC. It can be applied either via
the Micro-USB connector or the barrel connector.

3.3 USB Connector (J7)
The Micro-USB connector is located on the left edge of the Evaluation Board, beneath
the circuit board. Primarily, it is used for voltage supply of the Evaluation Board with
5V DC.
Micro-USB socket on the bottom side of the Evaluation Board
In addition, the USB connector can also be used as a way to transfer new firmware to
the PCAN-MicroModFD.
3.4 CAN Connection (J4)
The 9-pin D-Sub male connector J4 is used for a CAN connection, positioned on the
upper left of the Evaluation Board. The pin assignment of the CAN connector corres-
ponds to the specification CiA®303-1.

CAN Bus Termination
If the Evaluation Board is connected to one end of the High-speed CAN bus and the
CAN bus is not terminated at that end, a termination can be activated on the Evalu-
ation Board. For this purpose, switch S3 (next to the CAN connector) must be set to
the On position.
For better electromagnetic compatibility, a split termination is implemented.

3.5 Analog Inputs (J8) and Potentiometers
The Evaluation Board has 8 analog inputs (Ai0 to Ai7). The corresponding connector is
J8 (screw terminals on the upper right).
Screw terminals J8 for analog inputs
The analog reference voltage is 3.0V. The input impedance is 11kΩ.
The Evaluation Board has 4 potentiometers (P0 to P3) which can be used for simu-
lating input signals. Using the switches S200 to S203, the analog inputs Ai0 to Ai3 are

disconnected from the screw terminals and connected to the respective poten-
tiometer.
Potentiometers for analog inputs Ai0 to Ai3
3.6 Digital Inputs (J9)
The Evaluation Board has 8 digital inputs with TTL levels (Di0 – Di7). The corres-
ponding connector is J9 (screw terminals on the lower right).

User Manual 1.1.0 © 2020 PEAK-System Technik GmbH
16

Screw terminals for digital inputs with associated DIP switches and LEDs
The inputs each have a pull-down resistor and are High-active. The switching
thresholds are below 2.2V to the Low state and above 3.3V to the High state. Each
input status is indicated by an LED.
For test purposes, the individual input signals can be switched via the DIP switches
S300. A DIP switch activates a pull-up resistor with 2.7kΩ to the 5-Volts supply. If it is
permanently activated, a low-active signal can be used on the input via the screw
terminal (e.g. push button connected to ground).
Signals that directly lead to the MicroModFD can be accessed on the following points
of the field J2B:

3.7 Digital and Frequency Outputs (J3)
The Evaluation Board has 8 digital outputs (Do0 to Do7) and two frequency outputs
(Fo0 and Fo1). Each output status is indicated by an LED. An illuminated LED corres-
ponds to the active state.
Screw terminals J3 for digital outputs and frequency outputs with associated LEDs
3.8 Module Number (S2)
The module number is used for the identification of an individual MicroModFD on the
CAN bus when configurations are sent and received. The rotary switch can be used to
set a module number from 0 to 15 (hexadecimal 0 to F).
3 Components of the Evaluation Board PCAN-MicroMod FD EvaluationBoard
User Manual 1.1.0 © 2020 PEAK-System Technik GmbH
18

Rotary switch for module number, position 0 on the left
Each MicroModFD connected to the CAN bus must have a unique module number for
the configuration process, else unpredictable configuration results may occur.
The module number has no influence on the CAN communication during normal oper-
ation. If you have more than one MicroModFD on the CAN bus, you have to make sure
by means of different configurations that there is no overlapping of the transmitted
CAN IDs.
3.9 RS-232 Connector (J5)
The RS-232 connector can alternatively be used for transferring firmware to the
PCAN-MicroMod FD. You need a suitable flashing tool, e.g. Flash Magic
(www.flashmagictool.com), and a firmware file in hex format.
