Preface - Phytec phyCORE-Z500PT Hardware Bedienungsanleitung

1 Preface

This phyCORE-Z500PT Hardware Manual describes the single board computer's design and functions.
Precise specifications for the Intel® Z500PT CPU/Chipset can be found in the enclosed microcontroller
Data Sheet/User's Manual. If software is included please also refer to additional documentation for this
software.
In this hardware manual and in the attached schematics, low active signals are denoted by a "/" or "#"
preceding the signal name (i.e.: /RD or #RD). A "0" indicates a logic-zero or low-level signal, while a "1"
represents a logic-one or high-level signal.
Declaration of Electro Magnetic Conformity of the PHYTEC
phyCORE-Z500PT
PHYTEC Single Board Computers (henceforth products) are designed for installation in
electrical appliances or as dedicated Evaluation Boards (i.e.: for use as a test and prototype platform for
hardware/software development) in laboratory environments.
Caution!
PHYTEC products lacking protective enclosures are subject to damage by ESD and, hence, may only be
unpacked, handled or operated in environments in which sufficient precautionary measures have been
taken in respect to ESD-dangers. It is also necessary that only appropriately trained personnel (such as
electricians, technicians and engineers) handle and/or operate these products. Moreover, PHYTEC
products should not be operated without protection circuitry if connections to the product's pin header rows
are longer than 3 m.
PHYTEC products fulfill the norms of the European Union's Directive for Electro Magnetic Conformity only
in accordance to the descriptions and rules of usage indicated in this hardware manual (particularly in
respect to the pin header row connectors, power connector and serial interface to a host-PC).
Implementation of PHYTEC products into target devices, as well as user modifications and extensions of
PHYTEC products, is subject to renewed establishment of conformity to, and certification of, Electro
Magnetic Directives. Users should ensure conformance following any modifications to the products as well
as implementation of the products into target systems.
The phyCORE-Z500PT is one of a series of PHYTEC Single Board Computers that can be populated with
different controllers and, hence, offers various functions and configurations. PHYTEC supports a variety of
8-/16- and 32-bit controllers in two ways:
(1) as the basis for Rapid Development Kits which serve as a reference and evaluation platform
(2) as insert-ready, fully functional phyCORE OEM modules, which can be embedded directly into the
user's peripheral hardware, design.
PHYTEC's microcontroller modules allow engineers to shorten development horizons, reduce design costs
and speed project concepts from design to market. For more information go to:
