SCSI2SD Schematic Notes
Details for the circuit design of SCSI2SD.
SMT Type
- 0805 sized components will be used where applicable. These represent a good tradeoff between hand-solderability and PCB board space.
Crystal Oscillator
- LCP1751 requires a 25MHz crystal, which results in a 100MHz clock with x4 PLL
- The crystal requires 2 caps for stability. The required value is:
2 * (CL - CS)
Where CL is the crystal's load capacitance, as specified by the crystal manufacturer, and CS is the PCB's stray capacitance (around 5pF for a reasonable PCB).
TXC - 9C-25.000MEEJ-T Load capacitance 18pF. Therefore, use 2x 22pF standard ceramic capacitors.

5V supply from a hard drive molex connector should provide more than sufficient current. A regulator will be required to convert the 5v supply to 3.3V.
Preferred Option: Switching Regulator
- NCP3170
- Over 90% efficiency with 5V input.
- CHEAP $1.73
- * Max load current without a heatsink is 2.75A
Backup Option: Linear Regulator
A LMS1585A linear LDO regulator can be used to convert the 5v supply to the required 3.3v.
- 5A max current is more than enough
- Easy TO-220 mounting
- 1.3V dropout @ 3A allows for 5V supply to drop to 4.6V
- Significantly cheaper than a switching regulator
- Simpler than a switching regulator.
- At an expected peak current of 800mA, the regulator will dissipate: (5-3.3)*0.8 = 1.36W
- Thermal Resistance Junction-to-Case: 2.3C/W
- Max load current without a heatsink is insufficient at 0.7A
In-circuit programming
UART0 pins, + active low program enable power supply while programming ? Custom header ? Custom bootloader as well ? Reuse for serial debug output ?
