16.2 Layout and Interfaces
16.2.1 Connectors and Jumper Posi-
tions
Figure 68 and figure 69 on page 594 show the posi-
tions of the connectors and jumpers on the front and
back side of the RTC
®
5-Express board.
Relating the connectors and jumper settings, the
RTC
®
5-Express board differs from the
RTC
®
5 PC interface board only in its interface to the
PC and in its configuration of the “SPI / I2C”
connector. These two deviations from the
RTC
®
5 PC interface board are described in the
following sections.
