1.3

System Requirements a. A host computer with one free USB port or self-powered USB hub.

b. A host computer with one of the following operating systems:

• Windows XP+

• Linux 2.6+

• Mac OSX 10.5+

2 Interconnects

The iPort/USB 2 includes two interconnections:

2.1

USB Connector

A USB 2.0 Type B Jack provides connection from the I 2 C Bus host adapter to a

USB port on the host computer or self-powered USB hub.

The iPort/USB 2 operates as a high-power (>100 mA) bus-powered USB device, with up to 100 mA of (user optional) switch-selectable 3.3v or 5v for I 2 C Bus target system power.

2.1.1 Virtual Communications Port (VCP)

The iPort/USB 2 uses a Virtual Communications Port (VCP) interface to communicate with a host computer. The VCP interface is created on the host computer via a software driver loaded on the host computer. Drivers are available for several operating systems. These drivers can be installed separately, or while installing the iPort Utility Pack.

5

The drivers and installation instructions are available online at the following web address: www.mcc-us.com/iPortUSB-2

After the driver software is installed, plug the iPort/USB 2 into a host computer

USB port. Upon detecting the device, the operating system will automatically load the driver and create a new “virtual” serial port for communicating with the iPort/USB 2. Once installed, application programs running on the host computer can communicate with the iPort/USB 2 via the operating system serial port

Application Program Interface (API).

The iPort/USB 2 VCP includes the following communication signals:

• TX - Transmit Data ( Host Computer to iPort/USB 2).

• RX - Receive Data ( iPort/USB 2 to Host Computer).

• RTS - Request to Send (Host Computer to iPort/USB 2).

• CTS - Clear to Send (iPort/USB 2 to Host Computer).

Serial communications flow-control options include X-ON/X-OFF (default) or

RTS/CTS. The flow-control method used by a host computer application should match the flow-control method selected for use by the iPort/USB 2 host adapter.

2.2

I 2 C Mini Interface Connector

The iPort/USB 2 I 2 C Bus host adapter includes a five wire (1x5) 2.54 mm (.100"), positive locking, shrouded header receptacle connector (see Appendix A) for interfacing to an external I 2 C Bus. Interface lines provided include:

• I 2 C Clock (SCL)

• I 2 C Data (SDA)

• I 2 C /INTerrupt

• Ground

• +V

Minimum wiring for I 2 C Bus communications include I 2 C Bus Clock, Data, and

Ground. Use of the /INTerrupt and +V wires in the I 2 C Interface connector are user optional.

NOTE: See the Hardware Configuration section below for additional information

6

on configuring the I 2 C Bus interface.

I 2 C Bus Mini Interface Receptacle Mini Interface Receptacle Pinout

I 2 C Bus Mini-Clip-Lead cables are available to connect the iPort/USB 2 adapter to a target system. Each clip-lead is identified (White=C=SCL, Red=V=+V,

Green=D=SDA, Black=G=Ground, Gray=(no mark)=/INTerrupt).

I 2 C Bus Mini-Interface cables with two Mini Interface plugs are also available to connect the I

2

C adapter to an external I

2

C Bus.

2.3

/INTerrupt Signal

The /INTerrupt signal is an extra pin found on some I 2 C devices. The /INT signal allows a slave-only device to attract the attention of a bus master device by lowering the /INT signal to a logical low voltage level.

The iPort/USB 2 provides an open-collector /INT signal which can be connected to a corresponding pin on a bus master or slave device. The /INT signal allows the iPort/USB 2 to participate in interrupt signaling between master or slave devices.

The iPort/USB 2 generates an I 2 C Bus interrupt assert (/INT=low) upon receiving an iNterrupt Assert command from the host computer. The interrupt signal is released (/INT = high) when the iPort/USB 2 is addressed as an I 2 C Bus slave device, or an iNterrupt Release command is received from the host computer.

Interrupt monitoring is enabled upon receiving an Enable /INT Monitor command from the host computer. Interrupt monitoring causes the iPort/USB 2 to monitor the

/INT signal level, and automatically send a notification to the host computer when the /INT signal changes state.

3 Hardware Configuration

3.1

Circuit Sense ™

The iPort/USB 2 introduces MCC’s Circuit Sense technology. Circuit Sense allow the I 2 C interface +V wire can operate in two modes, Power Source Mode and

Voltage Sense Mode. Mode selection is controlled by the MODE slide switch on the side of the unit enclosure.

• Power Source Mode - The +V wire can supply power (3.3v or 5v @ 100 mA)

Vcc to an external I 2 C Bus system. Voltage selection is controlled by the

SOURCE slide switch on the side of the unit enclosure. In Power Source Mode, the voltage of the iPort/USB 2 SCL, SDA, and /INT internal pull-ups, if enabled, and Voltage Sense circuit (0.3Vcc Low

MAX

, 0.7Vcc High

MIN

) is selected by the

SOURCE switch. (Use of the +V wire in Power Source Mode is user optional).

Power Source Mode is similar to the standard mode of operation on earlier versions of MCC I 2 C Bus host adapters.

• Voltage Sense Mode - The +V wire is connected to the external I 2 C Bus system pull-up supply voltage (0.5v to 5v) Vcc, and automatically adjusts iPort/USB 2

SCL, SDA, and /INT voltage sense circuit levels to match (0.3Vcc Low

MAX

,

0.7Vcc High

MIN

). In Voltage Sense Mode, the voltage of the iPort/USB 2 SCL,

SDA, and /INT internal pull-ups, if enabled, is equal to the external voltage

(Vcc) applied to the +V wire. (Use of the +V wire in Voltage Sense Mode is required).

3.2

Pull-up Resistors

I 2 C Bus systems are based on open-collector technology requiring pull-up devices on each signal wire (SCL, SDA, /INT). These pull-up devices usually take the form of pull-up resistors connected to bus power.

The I 2 C adapter includes a PULL-UPS slide switch used to enable or disable internal 1.8K ohm pull-up resistors attached to the SCL, SDA, and /INT lines.

Every I 2 C Bus system must have at least one pull-up on the signal lines. In some cases, the pull-ups may be present in the external I 2 C Bus circuit. Use this switch to configure the pull-up resistors for your system.

8

3.3

Connecting to an SMBus Target System

If you are connecting the I 2 C adapter to a SMBus target system, you should follow these steps BEFORE applying power:

• Shut off the iPort/USB 2 internal pull-ups (See Pull-up Resistor section).

• Use external SMBus rated (appoximately15k ohms) pull-up resistors. These pull-ups may already be present in the target system.

• Visit our I

2

C versus SMBus FAQ page (www.mcc-us.com/I2CSMBusFAQ.htm).

• See the SMBus Specification for additional details.

Special Note for SMBus Users : MCC’s I 2 C adapters are designed to be I 2 C Bus compatible, not SMBus compatible. Some features of the SMBus protocol not supported include time-outs, device reset, and Packet Error Check byte processing.

The non-supported SMBus features may, or may not, permit the use of the I 2 C adapter in your SMBus application. Consult the MCC FAQ web page and SMBus

Specification for details.

4 ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Precautions

Zap! Everyone is familiar with walking across a rug and getting zapped when touching a metal object. But how can that zap damage electronics.

Electrostatic discharge is defined as the transfer of charge between bodies at different electrical potentials. Electrostatic discharge can change the electrical characteristics of a semiconductor device, degrading or destroying it. Electrostatic discharge also may upset the normal operation of an electronic system, causing equipment malfunction or failure.

When connecting the I 2 C adapter to a host computer and a target system, extreme care must be taken to avoid electrostatic discharge. Failure to follow ESD protection procedures when using the I 2 C adapter could damage the host computer, I 2 C adapter, or the target system, and void product warranty coverage.

4.1

Host Computer Grounding

Case 1 - Desktop and Single-board Computers. The chassis on a desktop or single-board host computer must be connected to earth ground to comply with safety regulations. If the computer chassis is NOT connected to earth ground for

9

some reason (i.e., use of a two-prong power mains plug), the host computer power supply ground will float to some unknown voltage potential.

Case 2 - Laptop Computers. Laptop computers present special ESD problems. Most laptop computers use an external double-insulated mains power supply which is

NOT connected to the mains earth ground. This means that the laptop chassis is floating at some unknown voltage potential.

In either case, upon connection to the I

2

C adapter and the target system, the host computer will discharge energy through its USB or RS-232 port to the I 2 C adapter, and on to the target system. This discharge could damage the host computer, I 2 C adapter, and the target system.

4.2

Grounding Solutions

To avoid damage to the host computer, I 2 C adapter, or target system, follow these instructions:

• Wear an earth grounded wrist strap, or discharge any static charge build-up, when handling the I 2 C adapter or any target system devices.

• Ensure that both the host computer and target system are connected to a common earth ground point.

• Make sure that all interconnections are made BEFORE applying power to the host computer, I 2 C adapter, and target system.

• If you are using a laptop computer or host computer that is NOT connected to mains earth ground, make a hard-wired connection from the host computer

(i.e., port connector shell) and the target system ground connector to a common earth ground point.

• Avoid plugging and unplugging system components while the host computer or target system is powered.

• Ensure that any devices connected to the target system are properly grounded to the common earth ground point.

• If unsure how to properly ground system components, seek electrical expert help.

WARNING : Any damage caused by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) through inadequate earth grounding is NOT covered under the warranty of this product.
