This page describes an engineering prototype used briefly during the bringup of the XO-1.75 design, in order to further software development of the Embedded controller and the XO-1.75 Host/EC communications protocol.

The breadboard is powered by any XO power supply.

Construction

The heart of the breadboard is a ZIF socket for the 0.4 mm pin pitch 128 pin QFP package used by the KB3930. This is part number PA-QFE128SD-C-Z-02W, purchased from Ironwood Electronics. It includes an adapter PCB, and a wire-wrap adapter attached to that. This was mounted on a piece of 0.1" perfboard, onto which the required connectors and switches were epoxied.

Copper tape was used to supply +3.3V and ground. A sprinkling of 0.1 uF SMD-1206 caps provides decoupling between these.
