Universal I/O Hat for the Raspberry Pi

Board Design

This board is modeled on the Arduino Sensor Shields, also known as GVS shields. Arduino Sensor Shields bring out the pins of the Arduino to GVS (set of Ground, Voltage and Signal) pins. Unfortunately, the Raspberry Pi can't work with the same 5V GVS sensors and devices as the Arduino since the Raspberry Pi has 3.3V I/O.

The RasPi-Plus-GVS-Cfg card allows the Raspberry Pi Model B+ to communicate with the same 5V sensors by performing voltage translation from the 3.3V of the Raspberry Pi to 5V.

Features

  • All Raspberry Pi I/O lines
  • 16-bit bidirectional 3.3V to 5V level translator
  • Configuration EEPROM
  • Fuses on power
  • External 5V Terminal Block
  • Raspberry Pi I/O lines

All of the Raspberry Pi Model B+ I/O connections are brought to GVS connectors. This is:

  • (17) GPIO lines on GVS connectors
  • (2) SPI interfaces (can be used as 5 GPIO lines)
  • (1) UART interface (can be used as 2 GPIO lines)
  • (1) I2C interface (can be used as 2 GPIO lines)

Example Code/Drivers

Schematic

Level translators

The RPP-UIO-16 board uses two of 8-bit wide Texas Instrument TXS0108 voltage translator to convert up to 16 of the 3.3V I/O lines to 5V I/O levels.

Voltage Translators Features

No Direction-Control Signal Needed Max Data Rates 60 Mbps (Push Pull) 2 Mbps (Open Drain) 1.2 V to 3.6 V on A Port and 1.65 V to 5.5 V on B Port (VCCA ≤ VCCB) No Power-Supply Sequencing Required – Either VCCA or VCCB Can Be Ramped First Latch-Up Performance Exceeds 100 mA Per JESD 78, Class II ESD Protection Exceeds JESD 22 (A Port) 2000-V Human-Body Model (A114-B) 150-V Machine Model (A115-A) 1000-V Charged-Device Model (C101) IEC 61000-4-2 ESD (B Port) ±6-kV Air-Gap Discharge ±8-kV Contact Discharge Voltage Translators Architecture Datasheet

The TXS0108E can be used in level-translation applications for interfacing devices or systems operating at different interface voltages with one another. The TXS0108E is ideal for use in applications where an open-drain driver is connected to the data I/Os. The TXS0108E can also be used in applications where a push-pull driver is connected to the data I/Os, but the TXB0104 might be a better option for such push-pull applications. The TXS0108E device is a semi-buffered auto-direction-sensing voltage translator design is optimized for translation applications (e.g. MMC Card Interfaces) that require the system to start out in a low-speed open-drain mode and then switch to a higher speed push-pull mode.

TXS0108Arch.PNG

To address these application requirements, a semi-buffered architecture design is used and is illustrated above (see Figure 1). Edge-rate accelerator circuitry (for both the high-to-low and low-to-high edges), a High-Ron n-channel pass-gate transistor (on the order of 300 Ω to 500 Ω) and pull-up resistors (to provide DC-bias and drive capabilities) are included to realize this solution. A direction-control signal (to control the direction of data flow from A to B or from B to A) is not needed. The resulting implementation supports both low-speed open-drain operation as well as high-speed push-pull operation.

When transmitting data from A to B ports, during a rising edge the One-Shot (OS3) turns on the PMOS transistor (P2) for a short-duration and this speeds up the low-to-high transition. Similarly, during a falling edge, when transmitting data from A to B, the One-Shot (OS4) turns on NMOS transistor (N2) for a short-duration and this speeds up the high-to-low transition. The B-port edge-rate accelerator consists of one-shots OS3 and OS4, Transistors P2 and N2 and serves to rapidly force the B port high or low when a corresponding transition is detected on the A port.

When transmitting data from B to A ports, during a rising edge the One-Shot (OS1) turns on the PMOS transistor (P1) for a short-duration and this speeds up the low-to-high transition. Similarly, during a falling edge, when transmitting data from B to A, the One-Shot (OS2) turns on NMOS transistor (N1) for a short-duration and this speeds up the high-to-low transition. The A-port edge-rate accelerator consists of one-shots OS1 and OS2, Transistors P1 and N1 components and form the edge-rate accelerator and serves to rapidly force the A port high or low when a corresponding transition is detected on the B port.

Fuses

The board has Resettable fuses on the 3.3V and 5V from the Raspberry Pi. These fuses protect your Raspberry Pi from overloads. These fuses are 1 Amp PTC fuses - PTS12066V100 PTC fuses have certain advantages (they are self healing) and disadvantages (they are not like a wire fuse which acts like a switch). If you trust your wiring you may choose to solder a wire over the fuse. Care should be taken when doing so.

Configuration EEPROM

The card has a Raspberry Pi Model B+ configuration EEPROM.
