The PCM-53E52 is a compact Half-EBX board with PC/104Plus, SSD, Ethernet, and four COM ports.
Unlike other compact Half-EBX boards, the PCM-53E52 has an optional Analog and Digital I/O Daughter
Board, allowing for data acquisition and greater flexibility.
The PCM-53E52 features a low power AMD® ELAN-SC520 133Mhz processor (no fan required, P120
equiv.). This compact Half-EBX board has on board, 16MB of SDRAM memory standard. A 32MB to
128MB memory upgrade option is also available as is a DiskOnChip® 2000 (DOC) solid state flash disk
(no moving parts). The PCM-53E52 can be connected onto a network using the Realtek® RTL8139C
10/100Base-T Ethernet controller and onboard RJ-45 connector. In addition, the PC/104Plus connectors
provide both ISA and PCI connectivity.
The PCM-53E52 offers three RS-232 serial ports, one RS-232/422/485 serial port, and a parallel port that
supports SPP/EPP/ECP parallel modes. This board includes a mini-DIN keyboard/mouse connector, an
onboard 34-pin FDD interface that supports two floppy disk drives, and an onboard 44-pin EIDE interface
that supports two EIDE devices. The PCM-53E52 is 5.75" in length and 4" wide, making it a great fit for
harsh environment and limited-space applications.
The optional Analog and Digital I/O Daughter Board adds micro-controller capability with the power of a
PC. The I/O daughter board includes 16, General Purpose I/O lines and eight high current sink outputs on
a standard I/O Rack compatible 50 pin header. This board also includes: 16 channels of A/D with 10
or12-bit resolution, and four channels of D/A with 12-bit resolution. In addition, the I/O daughter board
supports up to a 24-key keypad and is capable of driving up to a 40 x 4 character and graphic LCD
displays.

Determining Board Configuration
The board number can be used to determine what options are populated.
For example:
PCM-53E52-0011 is a board with 16mb of ram, Ethernet and PC/104+
This is found by decoding the last 4 numbers as follows:
0XXX is the standard 16mb of onboard memory
1XXX is the upgrade to 32mb of onboard memory
2XXX is the upgrade to 64Mb of onboard memory
X0XX is a reserved designator
XX0X is the Ethernet option designator, 1 for no Ethernet, 0 if present.
XXX0 is the designator for PC104+, 1 means the PC104+ connector has not been populated.
Determining How Much Memory is Onboard
The following information is to help assist in calculating how much ram your board has on it.
This information pertains to the onboard chips U4 and U5:
16meg system =2pcs of (8mB) 4 Meg x 16 Quad bank, 3.3V-- MT48LC4M16A2TG-75
32meg system =2pcs of (16mB) 8 Meg x 16 Quad bank, 3.3V-- MT48LC8M16A2TG-75
64meg system =2pcs of (32mB) 16 Meg x 16 Quad bank, 3.3V-- MT48LC16M16A2TG-75
These part numbers are Micron Technology parts and may be substituted with equivalent chips by
another manufacturer.
If you have any questions about the configuration of the board you have please email:
The PCM-53E52’s power connector (CN1) is a standard floppy, four-pin type connector commonly found
on most PC type power supplies. The PCM-53E52’s logic only requires 5 volts DC. The 12v pin (HDR6
pin 4) is routed to the PC/104 connectors and may be used by some PC/104 expansion cards. The pinout for the HDR6 power connector is as follows:
Pin Signal
1 +5 V
2 GND
3 GND
4 +12 V
Remember before powering-up the PCM-53E52 make sure the DOC is correctly orientated, firmly
seated and check any cables to make sure that plugged on and correctly in relation to pin 1.
Note: The PCM-53E52 requires less than 2 amps which is not enough current to load the main switcher
in some larger PC power supplies (this can be verified with a voltmeter measuring the 5-volt supply). If
this is the case you can try to load the power supply by adding 5-volt devices, or order a compatible
power supply from EMAC.
Ethernet
The PCM-53E52 utilizes the RTL 8139 10/100 BaseTX full duplex Ethernet chip and terminates to a
standard RJ-45 connector (JK1). It can be connected straight to a Hub, Switch or directly to another
computer via a crossover Ethernet cable. Link and Activity (Rx/Tx) LEDs (LD2) are provided to monitor
network activity.
Serial Ports
The PCM-53E52 is equipped with four serial ports. All four serial ports are standard X86, 16550, 16 byte
FIFO UARTS.
COM1 is set to be RS232 and is configured by default to 3F8H using IRQ 4. Availability is via the DB9
(CN1) connector on the edge of the board.
COM2 is jumper configurable to run RS232 or RS422/485 and is set by default to I/O address 2F8H using
IRQ 3. This comport is available via a DB9 connector (CN2). The mode is switched using JP4, if the
jumper is present it will run RS422/485.
COM3 and COM4 are both configured as RS232 ports. These are available to the user on connectors
HDR7 & HDR5 respectively. The default I/O address and IRQ for COM3 is 3E8H using IRQ 5 and the
default I/O address for COM4 is 2E8H using IRQ 11.
NOTE: COM4 DOES NOT OFFER HANDSHAKING AND IS LIMITED TO RXD AND TXD DUE TO PIN
FUNCTION TRADEOFFS AT THE SUPER I/O CHIP. SELECT FUNCTIONS FROM COM3 AND COM4
SHARED THRU ONE INTERFACE DRIVER CHIP.

Keyboard/Mouse
The PCM-53E52 is equipped with a keyboard and mouse interface. Both the keyboard and the mouse
utilize the same PS/2 connector (JK1) through the use of the included Y cable. Though a standard PS/2
keyboard can be plugged directly into the connector, to be able to use both a keyboard and mouse you
must use the Y adapter cable or a serial mouse.
Disk-On-Chip Flash Disk
The PCM-53E52 does not come with a DOC flash drive chip installed by default, but one can be ordered
from EMAC and installed by the user or integrated at the time the PCM-53E52 is ordered.
The DOC is a solid state flash disk and as such is extremely rugged when compared to a conventional
hard drive. The DOC is a paged memory device and is mapped at segment address D000 Hex, and by
use of the device’s firmware emulates a hard drive. Thus most operating systems will be able use the
device similar to a hard drive.
Warning: Be extremely careful when installing the DOC into its socket. Plugging
it in backwards, and turning on power, can destroy the DOC and damage the
PCM-53E52 rendering both inoperable! Any information on the DOC will be
unrecoverable at this point.
Always double-check the orientation of the DOC when it has been removed from
the board and reinserted, prior to turning the power back on.
Parallel port
The PCM-53E52 comes with a Standard Parallel port interface, This is available to the user via a 26-pin
header (HDR3) and included female DB25 cable.
IDE connector
The PCM-53E52 is equipped with a standard IDE interface available to the user via the standard 40-pin
header (HDR2) on the board. A standard hard drive cable is included.
Floppy Drive connector
The PCM-53E52 is equipped to operate a standard 3.5” 1.44Mb floppy drive via the standard 34-Pin
header (HDR5). A standard floppy drive cable is included.

Changing the CMOS without Video
When running the board (Headless) without video, to enter the CMOS configuration you will need to plug
in a keyboard, and a null modem serial cable to COM1. The CMOS configuration will then be redirected
to the COM1 comport after pressing the delete key on the keyboard. This is done by pressing delete on
the keyboard just after the keyboard lights flash (after keyboard initialization) and before the BIOS beep,
following the board being powered up or reset. The CMOS configuration will be sent out COM1 at 9600
baud, 8 bits, no parity, one stop bit (9600-8-N-1).
Changes then can be made via HyperTerminal or any other serial terminal program.
Needed commands are:
CTRL-e Move Up
CTRL-x Move Down
TAB Move Right
+ Toggle Selection Up
- Toggle Selection Down
ENTER Goto Selected Menu
ESC Return to Main Menu/ Exit Without Saving
If a video card is present, hitting the delete key will take you directly into the BIOS setup screen and no
serial port redirection will take place.
