The uP-2 development system includes an 8051 CPU, and can support some AVR (AT90S) and PIC (PIC16F8xx) microcontrollers as well. The platform has a flexible design. Each CPU function has its own circuit block, making it easy to focus on individual tasks. You can combine the included example codes or designated topic circuit for your own project. The uP-2 is a great platform for learning about microcontrollers.
The board measures 316 × 222 × 21 mm and contains several circuit blocks ready to use (see below). It also has a 385-hole prototyping area where you can add your own circuit. The uP-2 allows you to learn common uses of an 8051 microcontroller, and features in-system programming so you don't need any extra hardware. A 9V, 500mA power supply (U.S. plug) is included, though the board supports other power supply options as well.
1. MCS-51/AVR IC socket — 20- and 40-pin DIP sockets for 8051-compatible 80, 87, 89 microcontrollers, as well as AT90S. A Nuvoton W78E052DDG 8051-compatible MCU is included. Block has a Reset button and standalone UART and SPI pins.
2. PIC socket — 20- and 40-pin DIP sockets for PIC16F8xx microcontrollers. Block has a Reset button.
3. USB-UART interface — Uses a PL2303 to create a virtual COM port.
4. EPROM, SRAM and SEEPROM circuit — Contains 93C46 and 24C02 Serial EEPROMs, plus 40-pin sockets for 27C040 EPROM/Flash and HM628128 SRAM.
5. 8 LED output x 2 — Four sets of four LEDs in alternating red/yellow/green order (6x red, 6x yellow, 4x green in total).
6. 7-segment display — Uses a 7447 device for output to six 7-segment LED digits.
7. Button and switch — Block features an 8-pin DIP switch and four pushbuttons that you can use for input testing.
8. 16×16 two-color LED matrix — Rows 1 through 8 are green LEDs; rows 9 through 16 are red LEDs. Jumpers allow you to select 16×16, 16×8 or 8×8 display mode.
9. System power supply — Besides using the included 9V supply plugged into the barrel connector, this block has a two-pin connector also for 9V input (both 9V inputs go through an IC7805 voltage regulator). You also can power the system with 5V directly through the extension pins.
10. LCD interface and prototyping area — Two different interface options. This section also includes the large prototyping area where you can build your own circuit.
11. Motor driver — This block includes a 5V+ stepper motor driver with 500mA ground current, and screw terminal blocks to connect motors.
12. 82C55+Buzzer — An 82C55 I/O extender and a piezo buzzer.
13. Decoder — A 74LS138 decoder/demultiplexer.
14. Keypad — A 4×4 matrix keypad.
17. Photocoupler — This circuit includes four inputs and four outputs through a PC817 photocoupler. Input signal can reach 30V DC. Output can use less than 0.3A load.
18. A/D — Uses an ADC0804 analog-to-digital converter. Direct referring voltage is VCC/2. Inputs are ADIN1 and ADIN2. Range is 0V to +5V.
19. D/A — Uses an A7528 dual digital-to-analog converter. Direct referring voltage is VCC/2. Outputs are OUT-A and OUT-B.
20. Relays — Four relays. Relay circuit can drive 110V AC and can provide N.C. point. Screw terminals provided for connections.
21. Op Amp — An LM324 operational amplifier. Power must be supplied from outside of V+ and V-.
22. RS232 interface — Complete RS232 signal through DB9F connector, or UART1 signal through 4-pin connector.
23. LPT interface — A 16-pin connector provides the complete signal. A 74LS244 is used for buffering and creating serial interface (SPI).
