Problems with demoboard Demo9s08qg8

[zetorista]

Hi guys,
I tried a demo board DEMO9S08QG8 and propably I burned one part (chip) which is called U305. I cannot find board schematics which including this part. Do you have any suggesting about that?

Hello,

U305 IC-Switch-Smt (DCT8) SN74LVC2G66DCT, Analog Sw,Bilateral,Dual Digi-Key 296-13271-1-ND

The BOM for this board is included in "DOC-0363-010 REV E" from Axiom, who made the boards. It is called "DEMO9S08QG8_UG.pdf" and is part of the pdf document set on the Axiom Support CD. The problem is that the latest version, Rev F, (on their web site) calls out one revision: "Remove BOM". Apparently, REV E had a very short life, as it is dated Feb 16, 2006. REV F is dated Mar 2, 2006.

Hopefully, there is no violation in posting the part info. I would be happy to upload the REV E doc, but only if Alban sees no problem in doing so.

Hello Frank,

Good search. If it is on Axiom website, you can certainly post it here.

In the schematics, the zone is hidden under "P&E BDM" - http://www.axman.com/?q=node/89.

As the info is distributed by Axiom, I don't see any violation.

Please feel welcomed to.

(I just didn't want to be beaten up by any of the two Companies)

Cheers,

Alban.

HI ,

thanks guys, it helps me a lot.

Hi Alban,

The problem is that on Axiom's web site, the Rev E doc, which included the BOM, has been replaced with the Rev F doc, which no longer includes the BOM. With all of that said, I have attached the Rev E doc here, with the full understanding that you may find it necessary to remove it if required.

Hello,

You can use the search by part number. It gives you the product page which shows the following:

DEMO9S08QG8SCH

DEMO9S08QG8 Schematics  FREESCALE   zip   111KB    RevC  

It looks like what you want.

Cheers,

Thanks for answer,
I have check that pdf but that one is not including USB-BDM part, so is not including U305

[Alban]

Oups,

I didn't know you wanted this portion.

The USB BDM portion is protected Intellectual Property. In other words, it is confidential information...

Sorry,

Alban.

Hi,

If this is the large IC in the BDM section then it is just a microcontroller which you can buy. However the firmware inside it is the problem. It is owned by P&E Microcomputer. You probably need to buy another one or buy a USB BDM module seperately.

Peg, actually on my board U305 is small 8-pin package with the marking C6619Z.

It seems somewhat over-sensitive to me, for Freescale not to publish at least a BOM, so as to potentially allow for repair by the experienced user.  Especially since Freescale does not make spare parts available.  I would guess that most of the IP content is associated with the firmware within the MCU, rather than the identification of the components that are used on the board.

Hi Mac,

I popped open my USB BDM and it has two 8 pin devices:

a larger one:

MSC

34164

413A

and a smaller one:

C25

4AZ

perhaps this part is some of the extra circuitry to switch the Vcc to the QG to handle the lack of RST problem??? This may also be how/why it failed.

Peg,

The larger device could be a MC34164, a low voltage reset device.  This is U301 on the demo board.  The other smaller device is U305 is the mystery device.

Regards,

Mac
