mikroBUS
™
pinout explained
Easier connectivity and simple conguration are
imperative in modern electronic devices. Success
of the USB standard comes from it’s simplicity of
usage and high and reliable data transfer rates.
As we in mikroElektronika see it, Plug-and-Play
devices with minimum settings are the future in
embedded world too. This is why our engineers
have come up with a simple, but brilliant pinout
with lines that most of today’s accessory boards
require, which almost completely eliminates the
need of additional hardware settings. We called
this new standard the mikroBUS
™
. EasyPIC
™
v7
is the rst development board in the world to
support mikroBUS
™
with two on-board sockets.
As you can see, there are no additional DIP
switches, or jumper selections. Everything is
already routed to the most appropriate pins of
the microcontroller sockets.
mikroBUS
™
host connector
Each mikroBUS
™
host connector consists of
two 1x8 female headers containing pins
that are most likely to be used in the target
accessory board. There are three groups
of communication pins: SPI, UART and I
2
C
communication. There are also single pins
for PWM, Interrupt, Analog input, Reset
and Chip Select. Pinout contains two power
groups: +5V and GND on one header and
+3.3V and GND on the other 1x8 header.
AN - Analog pin
RST - Reset pin
CS - SPI Chip Select line
SCK - SPI Clock line
MISO - SPI Slave Output line
MOSI - SPI Slave Input line
+3.3V - VCC-3.3V power line
GND - Reference Ground
PWM - PWM output line
INT - Hardware Interrupt line
RX - UART Receive line
TX - UART Transmit line
SCL - I2C Clock line
SDA - I2C Data line
+5V - VCC-5V power line
GND - Reference Ground

is not made to be only a part of our development boards. You can freely
place mikroBUS
™
host connectors in your nal PCB designs, as long as you clearly
mark them with mikroBUS
