iv Preface

Welcome

The FT 5000 EVB is a complete Series 5000 LONWORKS device that you can use to evaluate the

ONWORKS 2.0 platform and create LONWORKS devices. The FT 5000 EVB includes a FT 5000

L Smart Transceiver with an external 10 MHz crystal (you can adjust the system’s internal clock speed from 5MHz to 80MHz), an FT-X3 communication transformer, 64KB external serial EEPROM and flash memory devices, and a 3.3V power source. The FT 5000 EVB features a compact design that includes the following I/O devices that you can use to develop prototype and production devices and test the FT 5000 EVB example applications:

• 4 x 20 character LCD

• 4-way joystick with center push button

• 2 push-button inputs

• 2 LED outputs

• Light-level sensor

• Temperature sensor

The FT 5000 EVB also includes EIA-232/TIA-232 (formerly RS-232) and USB interfaces that you can use to connect the board to your development computer and perform application-level testing and diagnostics. You can also use the EIA-232 interface for development with the ShortStack Developer’s Kit. Note that you can only use one of the EIA-232 and USB interfaces at a time.

Each FT 5000 EVB also features support for the in-circuit programming of the external serial non-volatile EEPROM and flash memory devices on the board using the serial peripheral interface bus (SPI) and Inter-Integrated Circuit (I

C) interface.
