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

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the PAK-IV 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-IV).
Q: Can I run the Pak IV from a different clock source?
A: Yes. But it isn't a good idea because many of the commands are clock-sensitive. You'd
need to adjust the timing of all time-sensitive commands to account for the change in
clock speed. Note that if you are upgrading from a PAK III, you might want to use a
10MHz clock to maintain compatibility.
Q: Is there a second source for the PakIV?
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 IV's or
obtain them from third parties. We can also make SOIC and high temperature versions
available as a special order item.
