An alternative design is also available: SC703

This module supplies power to the RCBus. The input is from 8 to 15 volts (D.C.) at a maximum of 1 ampere. The module contains a voltage regulator to provide the RCBus with a 5 volt 1 ampere supply. This 5 volt supply can also be used to power external devices from the onboard screw terminal and pin header.

The module also provides a reset signal to the RCBus. This signal is generated from a reset button, or external reset switch connected to the onboard pin header. A voltage supervisor and reset device is also included, which provides a reliable reset at switch on.

The module has the following features:

• Voltage regulator (5-volt, 1 amp) from an 8 to 15-volt input
• 5-volt output via screw terminals and header pins
• On/Off toggle switch
• Power indicator LED
• Power input via 2.1mm power jack or screw terminals
• Front facing reset button
• Reset indicator LED
• Voltage supervisor and reset device

Compatibility

This module conforms to the RCBus specification v1.0 for RCBus-2014 standard 40-pin long modules.

The printed circuit board outline conforms to the RC2014 standard for low profile modules.

The module is compatible with all RC2014 backplanes, all RCBus-2014 backplanes (RC2014 compatible including SC100 series) and all full RCBus 80-pin backplanes (including SC700 series).

A similar design SC703 is available in the larger module form factor with a double row bus connector. It is compatible with the RCBus, including the RC2014 standard 40-pin bus, the RC2014 enhanced 60-pin bus and the extended 80-pin RCBus.

The RCBus specification includes RCBus-2014 (both RC2014 standard 40-pin bus and RC2014 enhanced 60-pin bus) and also the full 80-pin RCBus. The 80-pin RCBus provides support for advanced Z80 features, such as the interrupt daisy-chain, as well as support for other processor families.

The Kit

This kit includes all the components needed to make the module, as shown in the first picture. Other modules and backplanes shown in the pictures are not included. You will require tools, solder, and cleaning materials to assemble this kit.

Printed Circuit Board

The printed circuit board is available on its own here.
