PAK-III Datasheet, PDF (12/14 Pages) List of Unclassifed Manufacturers – Using the PAK-III I/O Coprocessor

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the PAK-III work while the host does other operations?
A: Of course! Just send your commands and proceed without waiting for the response
code. Be sure to read the response before sending another command (unless you reset the
PAK-III).
Q: Can I run the Pak III from a different clock source?
A: Yes. But it isn't a good idea because many of the commands are clock-sensitive.
Q: Is there a second source for the PakIII?
A: No. However, if you have a high-volume application and you are concerned about
availability, contact AWC about obtaining a license to produce your own Pak III's or
obtain them from third parties. We can also make SOIC and high temperature versions
available as a special order item.
Q: How can I get more I/O pins?
A: Look for our Pak IV, coming soon.
