JP9 - RESET# Source
JP9 is used to select the source of the RESET# signal to the S1D13700.
When the jumper is at position 1-2, the S1D13700 is reset by the on-board reset button
(SW1).
When the jumper is at position 2-3, the S1D13700 is reset by the system (connector P1, pin
The evaluation board is designed to connect to the Epson PC Card Extender
(S5UPCMCIAB00C). The extender provides an easy connection to any computer with an
available PC Card slot. The S5U13700B00C directly connects to the extender via
connectors P1 and P2 (see Section 8, “Connecting the S5U13700B00C to the PC Card
Adapter” on page 28).
When using this evaluation board with the Epson PC Card Extender, the maximum current draw of 750mA provided by the PC Card slot may be exceeded. If the combination
of module and LCD panel exceeds this limit, an external 5V power supply may be required. The 5V regulated power supply may be connected to the 5V test point (TP5V1)
and the GND test point (TPGND1) to power the on-board regulator. In this case, the 0
Ohm resistor R2 must be removed from the board.
4.1.2 Host Bus Interface Support
The S1D13700 supports several host bus interfaces. All S1D13700 host interface pins are
available on connectors P1 and P2 allowing the S5U13700B00C to be used for interfacing
to other platforms.
All host interface signals must match HIOVDD of the S1D13700. The default value for
HIOVDD on the board is +3.3V, so it will work with the Epson PC Card Extender
(S5UPCMCIAB00C). HIOVDD can be selected between +3.3V and +5V using jumper
JP7.

CPU Bus Connectors
Bottom View
Vancouver Design Center
The following diagram shows the location of the host bus connectors (P1 and P2).
Connectors P1 and P2 are 2x2mm headers, 40 pins (20x2) each.
Figure 4-1: CPU Bus Connectors (P1 and P2) Location
For the pinout of connectors P1 and P2, refer to the schematics (see Section 6, “Schematic
Diagrams” on page 23).
1. When the board is connected to a PC using the Epson PC Card Extender, the signal
AS# is not used and R12 must NOT be populated. AS# input of S1D13700 should
be connected to HIOVDD by setting the dip switch (S1) position 6 to ON.
2. When the board is connected to different platforms, the Epson PC Card Extender is
not used. If using MC68K Family Bus interface, the signal AS# is used and it can be
provided to the P2 connector by populating R12 and the dip switch (S1) position 6
must be set to OFF position to disconnect AS# input from HIOVDD.
All the LCD interface signals are available on connector H1. Connector H1 is a 8x2 header,
0.1x0.1” pitch. The following diagram shows the location of the LCD connector (H1).
4.3 Clock
Figure 4-2: LCD Connector (H1) Location
For the pinout of connector H1, refer to the schematics (see Section 6, “Schematic
Diagrams” on page 23).
The S1D13700 accepts a clock signal from an oscillator or from a crystal. If the oscillator
is used, the crystal input (XCG1) must be connected to ground and the crystal output
(XCD1) must not be connected. If the crystal is used, the clock input (CLKI) must be
connected to ground. For details on connecting CLKI or XCG1 to ground, refer to the JP5
description (see “JP6 - Crystal Enable” on page 15).
The default configuration of the S5U13700B00C uses a 32MHz crystal. Jumper JP5 is in
position 1-2 to connect the CLKI input to ground because it is not used. Jumper JP6 is in
position 1-2 to connect the XCD1 output to the crystal.
The board can use the CLKI input instead of the crystal. To use the CLKI input, JP5 must
be moved to position 2-3 to connect the XCG1 input to ground. Also, jumper JP6 must be
moved to position 2-3 to disconnect the XCD1 output from the crystal.
The CLKI signal can be provided on the host interface connector or by an on-board oscillator. Jumper JP4 is used to select the clock source. In position 1-2, the clock is provided
by populating an oscillator into the 14-pin DIP socket U2. In position 2-3, the clock must
be provided on pin 4 of the host interface connector P1.

Appendix A Epson PC Card Extender
This section describes the setup and operation of the PC Card Extender Board Rev 1.0. This
board was designed as an evaluation interface for connecting Epson S1D137xx Mobile
Graphics Engine Evaluation Boards to the PC Card Bus.
A.1 Features
The PC Card Extender Board Rev 1.0 includes the following features.
• Header Signals for connecting Epson S1D137xx Mobile Graphics Engine Evaluation
Boards
• Epson Identification EEPROM
• Current limiting, resettable fuse
• LED power indicators
• Voltage Level shifting to 3.3V
A.2 General
A.3 Power
The PC Card Extender Board is designed to be connected to a laptop supporting a PC Card
Type II or Type III slot. The extender board includes an EEPROM containing the identification to specify it as an EPSON LCD controller. The software driver supplied by Epson
will recognize this PC Card as an Epson LCD Controller.
The power supplies from the PC Card host are passed to the evaluation board headers. A
resettable PolySwitch fuse (750mA) is placed on Vcc to protect the PC Card bus from
excessive current consumption. If necessary, the evaluation board can be connected to an
external power supply.
Permanent damage to the host is possible if signals are shorted on the connector.
Care must be taken in attaching the modules.
The performance of the Mobile Graphics Engine in this environment is directly proportional to the PC Card bus speeds. The maximum data bus transfer speed is 10MHz. The
maximum transfer rate is 20M bytes/sec in 16-bit mode and 10M Bytes/sec in 8-bit mode.
Note that the PC Card bus itself is 100% asynchronous and has no clock signals.
The PC Card Extender Board requires 5V to be supplied / supported from the PC Card Slot.
The extender board will not operate in a 3.3V only PC Card slot.
Switch SW1 is used to disable the bus to the Epson Mobile Graphics Engine evaluation
board. When the bus is disabled, the red LED (D2) turns “ON”. For normal operations, the
bus should be enabled, with SW1 positioned towards the clock X1 location.
On some systems, the Bus Disable function must be “ON” when the PC Card Extender
Board/Evaluation board combination is first plugged into the PC Card host. Once the
OS has detected the PC Card, the Bus Disable function can be turned “OFF”.
A.5 16-Bit PC Card Mode
To select 16-bit PC Card mode, switch SW2 must be positioned toward the clock X1
location. The S1D13700 is a 16-bit device and the drivers for the PC Card have been
configured for 16-bit devices only. Therefore, 8-bit byte steering logic is not needed from
the PC Card and should be placed in the 16-bit position.
A.6 Generic #1 / #2 Bus
Switch SW3 selects the control signals between Generic #1 or Generic #2 bus. The
S5U13700B00C Evaluation Board does not require the setting of this switch and it should
be positioned towards the clock X1 location.
A.7 Epson Evaluation Boards
The extender card provides a header to interface to Epson Mobile Graphics Engine Evaluation Boards. The header contains all the signals necessary for interfacing to the PC Card
bus. The signals on the bus have been level shifted from 5V to 3.3V.
Vcc from the PC Card Bus is provided on the header, but considerations to the current draw
should be noted. The evaluation board needs to supply it’s own Vcc if the current draw is
greater than what the PC Card bus can provide.
A.8 Epson Evaluation Board Header Pin Mapping
The CPU interface uses two female connectors (P1 and P2) which provide all the signals
and power connections needed for direct PC Card. Generic #1 and Generic#2 bus control
signals have been decoded and are selectable using SW2.
Refer to the schematics for the pinout of P1 and P2.
