2.2 Electrostatic Warning
The PM9261 Module is shipped in protective anti-static packaging. The board must not be subjected to
high electrostatic potentials. A grounding strap or similar protective device should be worn when
handling the board. Avoid touching the component pins or any other metallic element.

2.3 Layout
The board layout diagram (Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2) shows an approximate floorplan of the board. It
was designed to provide the smallest board dimensions. The board has 4 signal layers and 2 power
planes. The mechanical drawing of the CPU module is available on the DVD or here:

2.4 Circuit Description
The schematic of the CPU module can be found on the DVD or here:
http://download.ronetix.info/boards/doc/PM9261/v1.2/bb9261_v1.2_sch.pdf
2.4.1 AT91SAM9261
The footprint is for a 217-pin BGA package.
The pull-down resistor R42 enables to choose between the standard ICE debug mode and the JTAG
boundary scan mode of operation.
The R42 is assembled by default – ICE debug mode.
2.4.2 200-pin SODIMM Connector
The 200-pin SODIMM connector makes the most CPU pins, Vcc 3.3V and Ground available to the
user.
The recommended SODIMM200 2.5V connector is:
FCI 59354-052FSLF
The description of the SODIM200 signals is available on the DVD or:
http://download.ronetix.info/boards/doc/PM9263/SODIMM200_PM9261_PM9263.xls
2.4.3 Memories
The PM9261 has on board:
•4 Mbyte, 16-bit Parallel Flash (boot capable)
•64 Mbyte, 32-bit SDRAM
•2 Gbit, 8 or 16-bit NAND Flash (boot capable)
•32 Mbit, serial SPI DataFlash (boot capable)

•32 Kbytes serial SPI Serial EEPROM AT25256A (optional)
The AT91SAM9261 CPU can boot in 2 different ways:
- If BMS = 0 (J22 closed) - direct from the parallel Flash
- If BMS = 1 (J22 open) – then the internal 32 KB ROM boot loader of AT91SAM9261 allows the
CPU to boot from the DataFlash or the NAND Flash
The JTAG Emulator and Flash Programmer PEEDI from Ronetix support the flash programming of all
these memories: FLASH, DataFlash and NAND Flash.
For more information visit http://www.ronetix.at/peedi.html
2.4.4 Serial Number Chip DS2401
The DS2401 1-Wire® Silicon Serial Number has a unique 48-bit serial number, an 8-bit CRC, and an
8-bit Family Code. It is connected to PA7 of the AT91SAM9261 and allows the module to have a
unique serial number. It can be used also for the MAC address of the Ethernet controller.
2.4.5 Crystal Quartzes
The board has three crystals: a 32.768 kHz connected to the RTC low-power oscillator of the
AT91SAM9261, an 18.4320 MHz connected to the main oscillator and a 25 MHz for the Ethernet
Controller.
The AT91SAM9261 Master Clock can be derived from the 32.768 kHz crystal quartz or the 18.4320
MHz crystal quartz depending on the programming of the APMC registers.
2.4.6 Power
PM9261 requires only 3.3V power supply. Pin 200 of the SODIMM200 connector is connected to +5V
on the base board, but for custom designs this is not necessary – pin 200 can be connected to +3.3V.
The power consumption of PM9263 with all peripherals is 110mA/3.3V.
2.4.7 Ethernet Controller
The PM9261 has on board a DM9000A Fast Ethernet Controller with 10/100M PHY and 16 Kbytes
SRAM.
2.4.8 Temperature range
PM9261 is available in two temperature ranges:
- Standard temperature range 0°+70°C
- Industrial temperature range -40°+85°C

3.1 Revisions
There are two revisions of the BB9261: v1.1 and v1.2.
The differences between both versions are:
- The CompactFlash connector on v1.1 is not soldered because of a hardware design mistake.
On v1.2 the CompactFlash connector is soldered.
- Added 3.3K pull-up to PA1 (MMC: CMD/SI)
- Added MMC Write Protect: PB5
- Added MMC Card Detect: PA21
3.2 Jumpers
