MagTek TRIPLE-TRACK ASIC - Manual (Page 5)

1
OVERVIEW
The Triple-Track ASIC Development PCB may be used by MagTek customers to assist with the
design, development, and integration of the MagTek Triple-Track ASIC into their own reader or
terminal designs.
Typically this Development PCB will be used by electrical or firmware engineers, who need a
“test platform” for developing electronics and firmware required to control the ASIC.
The Development PCB contains the following features:
•
MagTek 3-track swipe reader chassis
•
MagTek Triple-Track ASIC, Part Number 21006536
•
J3 Header for supplying power
•
J2 Header for connecting signals to the customer’s microcontroller-based PCB
•
Test points which allow easy connection of test probes to the J2 and J3 signals
•
Vector-board area, which provides a convenient location for mounting/connecting
external electronic components (if required).
Connecting the Development PCB to customer-supplied electronics will provide a convenient
test platform that will allow the customer to develop required software interfaces and to perform
read-reliability analysis.
