Appendix C. Storage Module 9-Pin
Connector

The pins on the 9-pin sub-miniature D connector on the Storage Module are

numbered 1 to 9. A general description of the function of each pin follows:

Pin 1 (Input) 5V DC Supply provides power to the Storage Modul e.

5

±

0.3V DC @ 100mA. Processor is held in reset when external power

falls below 4V DC. Damage to SM hardware can occur if input on Pin 1

exceeds 5.5V DC. Low power standby mode current drain is less than

200

µ

A.

Pin 2 (Input) Power and signal GROUND.

Pin 3 RING LINE. Not used.

Pin 4 (Output) RECEIVE DATA (RD) line. The SM transmits its responses to

Telecommunications commands asynchronously (0 to 5V DC) on this line.

Data format is 8-bit, 1 start bit and 1 stop bit. Refer to Section 3.1 for baud

rate options. This line is held high while the SM is active in the Printer

Enable Method (data storage).

Pin 5 (Input) MODEM ENABLE line. Not used.

Pin 6 (Input) PRINTER ENABLE (PE) in Printer Enable Method or

SYNCHRONOUS DEVICE ENABLE (SDE) line in SDC Method. If the

SM is externally powered, the PE line is high (5V DC) and Pin 7

(CLK/HS) is low (0V DC), the processor is set to receive data asynchro-

nously on Pin 9 (TD). When the PE line is dropped, data remaining in the

input buffer is stored and the location pointers are saved. The processor

then enters an inactive, low power, standby state.

If the processor is still active from a previous transmission of data and the

PE line is raised again, the data from the current transmission will be

ignored. Normal operation will return with the next low to high PE

transition. Switch bounce on the PE line can cause the processor to go

inactive after the PE line stabilises in its high state.

Pin 7 (Input) CLOCK/HANDSHAKE (CLK/HS) line. For data storage, CLK/HS

must be low. For data retrieval using Telecommunications Commands (see

Appendix B) CLK/HS must be high when the processor is activated by the

PE line going high. CLK/HS must remain high during

Telecommunications. To exit the Telecommunications Command State,

lower both the PE and CLK/HS lines.

Pin 8 (Input) TAPE ENABLE /12V power line. Not used.

Pin 9 (Input) TRANSMIT DATA (TD) Data is received by the SM on this line.

Data is received asynchronously (0 to 5V DC) 8-bit, 1 start and 1 stop bit.

The idle state (stop bits) on this line is 0V DC. The first byte transmitted to

the SM should be more than 200

µ

s after the PE line has activated the

processor.
