PC/104-Plus PCI Bus

The PC/104-Plus bus is essentially identical to the PCI Bus except for the physical design. A single pin and socket connector is specified for the bus signals. A 120-pin header, J3, arranged as four 30-pin rows incorporates a full 32-bit, 33MHz PCI Bus. The additional pins on the PC/104-Plus connectors are used as ground or key pins. The female sockets on the top of the board enable stacking another PC/104-Plus board on top of the Poseidon board.

On the Poseidon, all of the PCI circuitry is driven with 3.3V circuitry and is 5V tolerant. The main board can support either 3.3V or 5V-only cards. For this reason, the connector is not keyed (to prevent certain types of cards from being inserted).

ATX power button 3 4 -
Ground 5 6 Ground
Reset key 7 8 -

The following table describes the CN18 connector pinouts.

Signal Definition
Speaker The signal on the Speaker pin is referenced to +5V out. Connect a speaker between this pin and +5V out.
PW LED Switched power output to connect a panel power LED. No series resistor needed.
ATX power button The ATX power button should be tied to ground whenever the “Power Button” is used. The “Power Button” has different functionality, depending on the current system mode and software operation. In general, the following guidelines apply.

  • If the board is powered down, toggling (i.e., tie to ground briefly, then release) this button turns the system on, causing all non-standby voltages to become active.
  • NOTE: depending on the default configuration, the system usually powers-up immediately as power is applied.

  • If the system is currently powered up and active, toggling (i.e., tie to ground briefly, then release) this button causes a system power-down event to be initiated. Typically, this powers-down the monitor, hard drive, and any other non-essential functions. The system must be operating and the software executing normally for this function. Under Windows and some other OSs, this power-down event may cause the system to shut down. Typically, this is software-configurable via an option setting for the given OS.

  • If the system is currently powered-up and active, holding this button for four seconds causes a forced system shutdown. This is a hardware power-down, which can be detrimental to many OSs due to the fact that they are not given adequate time to initiate shut-down sequencing. This operation should only be used in critical circumstances, such as when the system itself is locked due to system instability or a software crash. After powering the system down in this manner, the system remains powered down until the power button is toggled (tied to ground again and released).

  • When ATX is enabled, a momentary contact between this pin and Ground causes the CPU to turn on and a contact of four seconds or longer generates a power shutdown.
    ATX power control is enabled using a jumper on jumper block JP7.
    Ground Ground
    Reset key Connection between Reset key and ground generate a reset condition. The board remains in a reset state (with non-standby power rails disabled) until Reset key is removed from ground.

    NOTE: The reference grounds are NOT decoupled from the power grounds – they are indirectly connected to the power supply input (and other on-board ground/0V references). Do not assume that these grounds are floating. Do not apply a high-voltage input (relative to the power input ground) to these ground signals or to any other board I/O pin.

    Ethernet Connector

    Power reference Microphone power reference
    Audio ground Ground

    The Poseidon sound chip is AC97-compatible. The “Line Out” is powered and used for the amplified Speaker Connector output, J13, described below. The line-level output listed above is listed as either “Headphone Out” or “Line Out 2” in most of the software and documentation for this sound interface.

    Speaker Connector

    Connector CN11 is a 2x4-pin header used to connect speakers.

    Speaker left high (+) 1 2 Speaker left low (-)
    Speaker right high (+) 3 4 Speaker right low (-)
    Volume, high 5 6 Volume, mid
    Volume, low 7 8 -

    Signal Definition
    Speaker LEFT +/- Speaker Connection Pair for LEFT speaker (4-Ohm Speaker)
    Speaker RIGHT +/- Speaker Connection Pair for RIGHT speaker (4-Ohm Speaker)
    Mono Output Line-Level mono output (for reference)
    Volume – LOW, MID, HIGH These are volume controls for the attached speakers

    The volume control is capable of 32 discrete levels, ranging from a 20dB maximum gain to -85dB (Muted). The main volume control is the “MID” line, which may be tied to the center tap of a potentiometer with “HIGH” on one side and “LOW” on the other to give a full range of power control.

  • Shorting “MID” to “LOW” mutes the speaker audio.

  • Shorting “MID” to “HIGH” provides maximum gain.

  • Default (no connection) provides 10dB of gain.

  • The maximum output power is specified to provide up to two Watts into a 4-Ohm speaker load. Note that this output power is drawn from the on-board 5V supply.

    The speakers are driven using a Bridged-Tied Load (BTL) amplifier configuration. This is a differential speaker connection. As such, each speaker should be wired directly to the appropriate pair of connections for that speaker.

  • Do not connect the speaker low sides (-) to ground

  • Do not short the speaker low connections together.

  • External Auxiliary Power Connector (Output)

    Connector CN10 provides switched power for use with external drives. If ATX is enabled, the power is switched ON and OFF with the ATX input switch. If ATX is not enabled, the power is switched ON and OFF in conjunction with the external power.

    External Battery Connector

    Connector CN8 is used to connect an external battery. The battery voltage for this input should be 3-3.5V. The current draw averages under 4µA at 3V.

    Figure 4: CN8 Connector




    1 Battery input (+)
    2 Ground

    In addition to the external battery connected to CN8, the on-board battery and an additional external battery input on Utility Connector CN18 are other possible sources for maintaining the Real-Time Clock and the CMOS settings (BIOS settings for various system configurations). The battery that has the highest voltage will see the majority of the current draw, which is minimal. Note that there must be a battery voltage input for the default power-up mode.

    LCD Panel (LVDS Interface) Connector

    Connector CN1 provides access to the internal LVDS LCD display drivers. Note that the LCD also requires the backlight to be connected (CN4, below) to function correctly.

    The control signal is used to allow the system to power-down the backlight when the system enables monitor-power-down during power management control.

    The +12V supply is removed when the system is powered down.

    Power Input Connector

    The standard Poseidon input power is supplied through the CN9 connector from an external mid-range supply.

    Figure 7: CN9 Connector

    Ground 2 6 +5V in

    Signal Definition
    +5V in +5V main input power.
    Ground 0-V (ground) power return path.
    +12V in Power supply for in-board 12V devices, including hard drives, auxiliary power, PC/104 power, and LCD backlight. Range should be 11.9V to 13.5V measured at this connector.
    +5V standby +5V standby power; powers board when in standby mode.
    PS_ON Power Supply ON. Feedback pin for external ATX supply, when needed; pulled low when on-board power is inactive.

    Poseidon in the standard, mid-range power input configuration supports a voltage range from +4.75V to +5.25V, with some restrictions.

    The “+12V” power supply input is intended for all on-board and board-controlled 12V power supplies, including the PC/104-Plus 12V supplies, the external hard drive power supply (through connector J15, described above), and the LCD backlight. If these devices are not used, the “+12V” input may be left unconnected.

    Make certain that your power supply has enough current capacity to drive your system. The Poseidon requires 12 to 20 Watts or more, depending on which external devices are connected to the board. This could require over 4A on the “+Vin” line at minimum voltage inputs. In particular, many disk drives need extra current during startup. If your system fails to boot properly or if disk accesses do not work correctly, the first thing to check is the power supply voltage level. Many boot-up problems are caused simply by insufficient voltage due to excess current draw on the “+Vin” supply during initialization.

    Multiple +5V and ground pins are provided for extra current carrying capacity, if needed. Each pin is rated at 3A max (15W). For the Poseidon CPU with a moderate I/O device complement (basic hard drive, key board, mouse, USB devices, and a network PC/104-Plus card, for example).

    ATX control enables the +5V and +12V power to be switched ON and OFF with an external momentary switch. A short press on the switch turns ON power, and holding the switch on for four seconds or longer turns OFF power (See the Utility Header description for connector CN18, above).

    USB 2.0 Connectors

    Connector CN21 is a 2x10 pin headers for connecting USB 0/1 and USB 2/3, each providing USB 2.0 480Mbps maximum transfer rates.
