ISA Backplane

Introduction

About

ISA Backplane board was designed by Sergey Kiselev (http://www.malinov.com/Home/sergeys-projects) and is designed to be used together with the Xi 8088 processor board, but it can be used with other ISA SBC boards. In addition to eight parallelly connected ISA slots this backplane includes an ATX power on/off circuit, a Port 80h POST display, a -5V regulator (most ATX power supplies don't supply -5V, but it can be required for some older ISA cards), serial port header, and a prototyping space.

Specifications

  • 8 ISA Slots
  • Micro ATX compatible form factor
  • ATX power control circuit
  • -5V regulator
  • Port 80h POST diagnostic display
  • 5 Power indicator LEDs (standby, 5V, -5V, 12V, -12V)
  • Serial DE9M header
  • Reset button and header

Build Information

Jumpers, Connectors, and Switches

FIXME Create a nice graphic of the jumpers/switches on this board! FIXME

It is recommended to solder wire bridges instead of J2 - J4 according to your 7-segment LED display and binary to 7-segment decoder type. Please refer to Bill of Materials section for displays' and decoders' selection.

7-Segment Decoders and Matching Displays

The ISA Backplane board supports a variety of 7-segment decoders and common anode / common cathode type LED displays. Please use the following table to determine the proper configuration.

7-Segment Decoder Type Hexadecimal Support Matching Display Type J2 J3 J4 Built in current limiters1
74LS47, 74LS247 Limited - Displays distinct figures for codes A-F Common anode 2-3 2-3 2-3 No
74LS48, 74LS248 Limited - Displays distinct figures for codes A-F Common cathode 1-2 2-3 2-3 No
CD4511, MC14511, 74HCT4511 No - Displays nothing (blank) for codes A-F Common cathode 1-2 2-3 1-2 No
Mitel MD4311BE Yes Common cathode 1-2 2-3 1-2 No
DM9368 Yes Common cathode 1-2 1-2 2-3 Yes
DM9370 Yes Common anode 2-3 1-2 2-3 No
DM9374 Limited - Displays distinct figures for codes A-F Common anode 2-3 1-2 2-3 Yes
D345D Yes Common anode 2-3 1-2 2-3 No
D346D Yes Common anode 2-3 Trim2 2-3 Yes
D347D Limited - Displays distinct figures for codes A-F Common anode 2-3 1-2 2-3 No
D348D Limited - Displays distinct figures for codes A-F Common anode 2-3 Trim2 2-3 Yes
  1. No need for current limiting resistor arrays (RR1, RR2), two 470 Ohm resistors should be used to limit current for the decimal point segment.These resistors should be installed between pins 8 and 9 of RR1 and RR2.
  2. For decoders D346D and D348D the RV1 trimmer should be installed instead of the J3. This trimmer is used to adjust the intensity of the LED display.

Replacement Notes

  • It is recommended to use CMOS parts (74HCT, 74AHCT) for U5 and U7
  • Other logic can be from any TTL compatible series (74AHCT, 74HCT, 74LS, 74ALS, 74F).
