1 Introduction
Thank you for choosing Silego Technology products. The GreenPAK DIP Development Platform allows you to develop your
custom design using GreenPAK mixed signal ICs. You can design your own projects starting from a blank project or by altering
the sample projects provided at Silego website.
1.1 GreenPAK Designer
GreenPAK Designer is an easy-to-use full-featured integrated development environment (IDE) that allows you to specify exactly
how you want the device to be configured. This provides you a direct access to all GreenPAK device features and complete control
over the routing and configuration of a PAK project with just one tool.
With GreenPAK Designer, you can:
• design the configuration which corresponds to your project needs
• verify the project using software interface to GreenPAK DIP Development Platform hardware

3.2 Functional Description
3.2.1 Power Supply
The main power source of the GreenPAK DIP Development Board is the USB power line. The Development Board can deliver
power from 1.7 to 5.5 V. To provide this power range, the Development Board is equipped with a boost converter.
3.2.2 USB Communication
The board has the USB communications interface that uses the USB mini-B connector. This interface provides communication
with the software control tool and supplies power to the board, as described in Power Supply chapter.
3.2.3 GND Connections
There are 4 GND pins on the left side, 2 pins on the right side. These can be used for test equipment (oscilloscope, multimeter
etc.) ground reference connection or to connect external test circuitry ground.
3.2.4 DIP Adapter Connections
The GreenPAK DIP Development Board should be used with a DIP Adapter board. Its main purpose is to connect the GreenPAK
chip to the GreenPAK DIP Development Board. Information about DIP Adapters is available online
at http://www.silego.com/softdoc/user_guides.html.

3.2.5 Expansion Connector
This 20-pins connector is in the right and left bottom part of the Development Board. The Expansion Connector is a standard 0.1”
female connector compatible with breadboard (see Figure 3).
This port was designed to connect the GreenPAK DIP Development Board to external circuits and apply external power, signal
sources and loads. It can be used to apply the GreenPAK chip into your custom design with minimal additional tools.

Each pin except GND and NC is controlled through individual analog switch. GreenPAK Designer can enable or disable external
pins, as it is shown on the Figure 5. There is no individual control of each key: when one key is turned on, all others are also
turned on.
The Expansion Connector is enabled only in Emulation mode or Test mode. To enter either of these two modes, the target
GreenPAK device must be inside the socket the DIP Adapter Connector. When the Test mode button is pressed, the software will
first read the chip to verify if it was inserted correctly, and then configure the GreenPAK DIP Development Board as it was set in
Emulation mode. After the Emulation button is pressed, the software will automatically perform the following steps:
• check chip presence
• open all expansion port switches (allowing external signals/loads to be left connected to Expansion Connector)
• load target configuration into the target GreenPAK device using internal power
• configure Development Board as it was selected in Emulation Tool window

Development Platform
Note that the GreenPAK device has internal OTP memory which is normally loaded into RAM registers at initialization time.
“Emulation mode” will bypass this load, and write the updated version of the project directly into the RAM register inside the
GreenPAK chip many times, but after power loss all internal data will be lost. Also, when the GreenPAK chip is already pro-
grammed - user can use Emulation mode to load another project and test it on the emulation tool during the Emulation mode, in
that case emulation data will be cleared. The “Emulation” mode is not necessary for checking programmed parts: in this case the
“Test mode” will supply power to the device, which will perform the standard load of configuration data from OTP to RAM.The
difference between the “Emulation” and the “Test mode” is that in the “Test mode”, the process of loading configuration memory
is skipped, and after the chip power, the OTP memory loads into RAM registers.
The Expansion Connector has the following type of connections:
1. VDD
2. GND
3. Data
The VDD connection allows the user to both use internal power supply to power the external circuit, and use external power
source as the on-board chip power. This selection to use either internal or external power is made in the Emulator Controls
window.
The GND connection is connected directly to the GreenPAK DIP Development Board ground, and cannot be controlled or
switched.
Data connections are the easiest way to connect external signals to the GreenPAK chip. They are software controlled switches
that are controlled in the Emulator Controls window.
3.2.6 Pins Connectivity
The Socket connector has the following type of connections:
1. VDD
2. GND
3. Data
The GreenPAK DIP Development Board supports connecting five types of loads and signal sources. Each source has its own
special purpose.
For VDD pins is only available a signal generator connection.
For the Data pins the following connections are available: VDD, GND, Pull Up, Pull Down, Configurable Button.

3.2.7 Chip PIN versus Development Board Test Point (TP)
Before you start working with a chip, you need to understand the difference between such concepts as PIN (chip pin) and TP (the
Development Board test point). Figure 8 shows where PINs and TPs are.

PINs refer to the physical pins that are on the chip package (their marking can be seen in the datasheet). TPs refer to the DIP
Adapter and Expansion connector pins. TP and PIN numbers may not match since different PINs on the chip have different
functions (see Figure 9).

The next component in this design is Look-Up table. First Look-Up Table (LUT0) is used to generate logic “1” only when there
are high logic levels on both inputs (AND gate). Select AND gate from “Standard gates” drop-down menu or set table manually.
Second Look-Up Table (LUT1) is configured as NOR gate. It is used to generate reset signal for counter on PIN3 falling edge.
