Overview
The Stamp PAK V is a Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) coprocessor. It has an easy-to-use serial
interface that allows it to connect to a variety of
microcontrollers including the Parallax Basic
Stamp.
The PAK V can generate 8 channels of PWM at
one time using one of two methods, proportional
PWM and equal area PWM.
Here are some of the PAK V’s major features:
• Serial interface uses TTL level RS232 at 9600
or 2400 baud (true or inverted)
• Uses as few as 1 pin to connect to the host
• Can connect multiple devices to the same pin
with one additional pin per device
• Asynchronous operation - all 8 channels active
at one time with no overhead on host computer
• Easy to use
The PAK V is a standard 18-pin IC. In order to
operate it must have a regulated supply of 5V and
connection to a clock element. The Stamp PAK V
includes a 50MHz ceramic resonator that you can
use to clock the chip.
Other than the power and clock connections, the
Pak V requires at least one wire to connect
between your microcontroller (the host) and itself.
