    VNC2 and I2C

    Hi, i would like to use an RTC chip with the VNC2 using an I2C interface. There is an I2C driver supplied with the Vinculum2 toolchain, but there is no documentation nor example on how to use it. I use a vnc2-32L1B chip for my project. I decided to use for the I2C interface the pin 14 for...

    [PIC] Output impedance of PIC18F4550 pin.

    Ok, i will put an eye on this nanovna. This pin is the clock signal of an SPI interface at approximately 3 MHz directly connected to another chip on the board. For the serial resistor, i will begin with a 0 Ohm value and adjust it if needed by using an oscilloscope. Is this the way engineers...

    [PIC] Output impedance of PIC18F4550 pin.

    Thanks for the replies. But I didn't know it was so complicated. Someone tell me that it is a good idea to place a resistor (usually 22 or 33 ohms) in series with a clock line to improve the signal by reducing crosstalk and reflections and to achieve that, it was necessary to properly terminate...

    [PIC] Output impedance of PIC18F4550 pin.

    Hi, to reduce reflection and crosstalk, i want to place a serial resistor as close to the output pin of a PIC18F4550 used as a clock signal. But how to determine the output impedance of that pin ? Is it 0.7/3e-3 = 233 ohms (According to datasheet on page 380, with IOH=-3mA and VOH = VDD-0.7) ...

    Pb with VNC2 and SPI interface

    Hi, I use this protocol because i began this project with a VNC1 chip, then upgraded to VNC2 to change some things in the V2DAP firmware. As this part of the software is working fine, i didn't change it. By removing one cycle, SPI transferts work fine now, but i just want to understand why...

    Pb with VNC2 and SPI interface

    Hi, I use the VNC1L SPI legacy interface which is a FTDI protocol. As the SPI module of the PIC doesn't handle this protocole, i bit-bang its SPI interface. The PIC is the master, the VNC2 the slave. The PIC generates CS, CLOCK and SDI (MOSI). The clock signal is generated when a transfert is...

    Pb with VNC2 and SPI interface

    Hi, i am working on a little project based on a PIC18F4550 and a VNC2 chip, both connected via the SPI interface (in VNC1 compatible mode). I began this project with 2 evaluation boards, one for each chip (the V2EVAL board for the VNC2 chip). As all worked fine, i decided to go to the next...

    [PIC] pb with vinculum controler and pic 18f4450

    Hi, Yes, i used a breadboard to test my software and that was the cause of the glitches. I didn't thought this could cause problems at these frequencies. I directly soldered the vdip1 module which containt the vnc1l chip on my developpement board and the glitches disappeared. For the clock...

    [PIC] pb with vinculum controler and pic 18f4450

    Hi, The pic 18f4450 and the vinculum vnc1l controller are connected via the spi interface like this (signals are in the point a view of the pic): clk => rb1 - output cs => rb2 - output sdi => rc7 - input sdo => rb4 - output I connect my logic analyzer to these signals to see what is happening...

    About JTAG-USB cable

    Hi, except the price (difference of 140 euros !), is there a real difference between the Digilent XUP USB-JTAG Programming Cable and the Xilinx Platform Cable USB HW-USB-II (USB to JTAG) to use with a spartan-6 development board ? Thanks, Willy.

    Pb with VNC1L and Joystick

    Hi, I am working on a little project composed of a VNC1L chip connected to a 18f4550 Microchip pic via the spi interface. The goal is to handle an USB joystick. The communication with the two chips works fine: The joystick is recognized, the report descriptor is read for decoding data coming...

    [SOLVED] vias placement in Altium Designer

    Thanks for the reply. I already took an eye on this web site but didn't find the answer. It is possible to avoid vias in particular areas by using "keep out" area or pour polygon, but you avoid copper tracks to. And i don't know how to tell Altium not using vias. Does anyone know an solution...

    [SOLVED] vias placement in Altium Designer

    Hi, is it possible in Altium to avoid vias under components when auto routing ? Thanks, Willy.
