mikroBUS
™
standard specications
The mikroBUS
™
standard denes mainboard sockets and add-on
boards used for interfacing microcontrollers or microprocessors
(mainboards) with integrated circuits and modules (add-on
boards).
The standard species the physical layout of the mikroBUS
™
pinout, the communication and power supply pins used, the
size and shape of the add-on boards, the positioning of the
mikroBUS
™
socket on the mainboard, and nally, the silkscreen
marking conventions for both the add-on boards and sockets.
The purpose of mikroBUS
™
is to enable easy hardware
expandability with a large number of standardized compact
add-on boards, each one carrying a single sensor, transceiver,
display, encoder, motor driver, connection port, or any other
electronic module or integrated circuit.
Created by MikroElektronika, mikroBUS
™
is an open standard —
anyone can implement mikroBUS
™
in their hardware design, as
long as the requirements set by this document are being met.
