The PCM-2074 Main Board contains the following:
On-board TMC2074, configured to operate in peripheral mode
Type II PCMCIA interface using ZiLOG Z1601720ASC
One socket for GPIO connectors
TM
Note: The PCMCIA connection does not support CardBus or ExpressCard
. It also does not
support the Suspend/Resume functions.
The PCM-2074 RS485 Board contains:
An RS485 transceiver
Two RJ-11 modular jacks
TM
Note: The RJ-11 jacks are not configured to support the CircLink
Hub function.
The software driver supplied with the PCM-2074 supports Windows 2000 and Windows XP and comes
with a support library.

4 I/O Connectors
The Main Board has two connectors - CN1 and CN2 - to allow for input/output signals. CN1 comes
mounted with a 14-pin connector, which is used to attach the RS485 Board using a ribbon cable. CN2,
which has no connector attached, can be used for an optional GPIO (General Input/Output) connector.
Note: When using either connector, please adhere to the electrical limits specified in the TMC2074
datasheet.
Table 4.1 below shows the pin-out for the CN1 connector on the Main Board. It also shows the pin-out
for the CN1 connector on the RS485 Board, except that all locations noted as Inputs change to Outputs

5 Reset
The Main Board provides a power-on reset signal which is driven by an MB3771 integrated circuit.
This circuit asserts the power-on reset signal when the Main Board is inserted into a PCMCIA slot, or
when the PC it is attached to is powered on. A second reset signal is provided by the Zilog
Z1601720ASC PCMCIA interface; this signal will reset the TMC2074 when asserted; it is also provided
to the CN2 connector.
6 Monitoring the CMI Decode Signal
When the Hub Function is disable, the CMI decoded signal (an RZ-coded signal) can be monitored on
the TP4 test point connection on the RS485 Board. Note that TP4 is not mounted.

9 Connecting Twisted Pair Cables to the RJ11 Connectors
The PCM-2074 provides two modular RJ11 jacks for connection to twisted pair cables, which need to
be supplied by the user. These cables should have a characteristic impedance of 125 ohms, in order
to match the impedance built into the board. Each end of the twisted pair cable should have a 125ohm termination resistor attached.
Recommended cables and terminators:
Single wire type 125 ohm twisted pair cable (ARC-Cab/125T) from SMSC Japan
125Ω terminator (ARC-Term/125T) from SMSC Japan
SMSC PCM-2074
For recommendations on the maximum cable-length, minimum node-spacing, and maximum number
of nodes, refer to the TMC2074 data sheet.

9.3 Offset Resistors
The function of the offset resistors is to prevent the differential voltage on the twisted pair cable, which
is the voltage between the positive signal and the negative signal, from going to zero during idle
periods when nothing is driving the line. To maintain stable operation, the RS485 transceivers require
a differential voltage of generally at least 200mV.
The offset resistors, which operate as a pair, supply this differential. One Offset Resistor biases the
positive signal toward Vcc, while the other biases the negative signal toward ground. The configuration
of the offset resistors within a CircLink node depends on how that node is connected within a network.
The offset resistors should be installed on the end nodes of a network and should be removed or
disabled on the middle nodes of a network containing three or more nodes. This is shown in Figure 9.3
below. (In the PCM-2074, the offset resistors are configured using JP1 and JP2.).

In order to simplify the following discussion, assume the sink and source currents are zero (IA = IB = 0).
The voltage V
Since V

Rt x (Vcc)

t
However, we must guarantee that under worst-case conditions, the differential voltage exceeds the
required threshold voltage with some margin. These conditions, which occur when V
and Rt are at
cc
their minimum values set a maximum value for Rl. The equation for the worst-case can be written as
follows:
R
(min) x (Vcc(min)- VTH(max))
Rl (max)=
For the worst case conditions, we assume that V
and that the threshold margin is 0.05V, therefore V
Rl (max)=
Therefore, R
To summarize, R
(nominal) = (1060.2 / 1.05) = 1009.7 Ω
l
(nominal)= 1.0KΩ when Rt (nominal) = 124Ω, the threshold margin is .05V, and all
l
resistors have 5% tolerances. R
= 1.2kΩ; for a margin of 0.1V, Rl = 820Ω.
R
l
Since the actual I
and IB are not equal to 0, VAB may be less than 0.2V. Further tuning of the resistor

values may be required. To do this, measure the voltage between the receiver inputs (V

12 Care and Usage Information
12.1 Precautions for Handling and Storage
1. For proper operation, environmental and power supply limitation requirements must be adhered to.
2. Do not expose the PCM-2074 to chemicals or to liquids, such as water or oil, or to moisture or
vapor during handling or storage. Such exposure may result in electrical shock, short circuits,
damage to the PCM-2074, or fire.
3. Use and store the PCM-2074 on a stable, level surface, and avoid mechanical vibration or shock.
4. Do not subject the PCM-2074 to direct sunlight or excessive heat. Exposing the board to excessive
heat during use may damage it. Exposing the board to direct sunlight may cause damage or
warpage.
5. Do not use or store boards in dusty places.
6. Avoid using the PCM-2074 near TVs, radio receivers, cordless phones or similar devises. The
PCM-2074 may cause Electro-Magnetic Interference with these devices.
7. Do not use or store the PCM-2074 near equipment that generates strong electro-magnetic fields.
Exposure to excessive Electro-magnetic fields may damage the board.
8. Do not put heavy loads on top of the PCM-2074 as this may damage it.
9. Avoid exposing the PCM-2074 to exogenous material such as metal particles. These may cause
short circuits and fire.
12.2 PC Installation Procedure
1. Confirm that all jumpers and dip switches on both the Main Board and the RS485 Board are set
correctly.
2. Attach the RS485 Board to the Main Board using the ribbon cable, then insert the Main Board into
a PCMCIA slot, avoiding excessive force and aligning the card and slot correctly.
3. Avoid inserting or removing the RS485 Board during the power-on state.
4. Avoid excess stress on the ribbon cable connecting the Main Board to the RS485 Board.
5. Be sure not to exceed current consumption limits when providing power via CN1 or CN2.
6. Confirm correct operation of the evaluation board.
12.3 De-Installation Procedure
1. Power off the system before removing boards or connectors to prevent damage.
2. Avoid excessive force when removing cables, boards, sockets or devices to avoid damaging them.
12.4 Miscellaneous Warnings
Attaching the PCM-2074 to a non-SMSC authorized fixture or PC may cause the following failures.
The PC may not function correctly.
The board does not work or exhibits intermittent failures.
The board causes damage to either the PC or other peripherals.
SMSC PCM-2074
If there is a possibility that adjacent boards may contact each other, insert an insulator between them
to avoid electric contact which may cause a defect in the board, system or peripherals, electric shock,
or fire.
