General Description
Multiple interface.
Communications to the client computer via Ethernet.
It is equipped with the following:
CAN0: 2-wire, (non-FD).
CAN1: 2-wire or Single Wire (software selected), (non-FD).
CAN2: 2-wire (CAN-FD).
CAN3: 2-wire (CAN-FD).
LIN0: LIN or KWP.
LIN1: LIN or KWP.

The AVT-424 LIN Expansion mezzanine board is now available.
It adds six channels of LIN communications to the AVT-423.
It can be quickly added to an AVT-423 rev. "F" board.

Flexray (hardware capability exists, but no firmware support).
Flexray will never be developed.

Hardware Configuration
The default hardware configuration of the board is rev. "DA"  or "FA".
The hardware configuration is noted in the white "Rev" block on the top of the board.
Some hardware configurations are listed below. Other configurations are available, ask us.
A unique revision level and order number will be assigned for each unique hardware configuration requested.


PC Board Revision

PC Board Revision

The revision of the PC board is noted in copper on the bottom of the board.
It only changes when the board is redesigned.

PC Board Revision A0

1 February 2016.
Original board design.
Qty. 2 built.
Never released for production. Prototypes only.
"A1" - Remove R41. Remove R44.
"A2" - Connect NB-PD2 (NB-P2-32) to NB-UART1_RX (NB-P2-21) to monitor state of LIN0 bus. Connect NB-PD3 (NB-P2-37) to NB-UART2_RX (NB-P2-31) to monitor state of LIN1 bus.

PC Board Revision B
18 February 2016.
Changes: Corrected the 3.3 vdc converter (it was upside down); added R53 to Port F0 for ISR timing measurements; Re-sized the board to fit a Hammond RM2055M enclosure.
Qty. 2 built.
Never released for production. Pre-production only (early May 2016).
"B1" - Remove R41. Remove R44.
"B2" - Remove R41. Remove R44. Connect NB-PD2 (NB-P2-32) to NB-UART1_RX (NB-P2-21) to monitor state of LIN0 bus. Connect NB-PD3 (NB-P2-37) to NB-UART2_RX (NB-P2-31) to monitor state of LIN1 bus.
"B3" - Connect NB-PD2 (NB-P2-32) to NB-UART1_RX (NB-P2-21) to monitor state of LIN0 bus. Connect NB-PD3 (NB-P2-37) to NB-UART2_RX (NB-P2-31) to monitor state of LIN1 bus. Replace U23 with a NCP7805TG fixed three-terminal voltage regulator (very little +5v supply needed, linear regulator is more than adequate).

PC Board Revision B2
Date unknown.
Changes:
Corrected the 3.3 vdc converter (again); updated footprints of both DC/DC converters.
None were built.
Pre-production only (early May 2016).

PC Board Revision C
Late May 2016.
Changes:
Added the solid state relays (switches) to the CAN termination network for all four CAN channels.
Qty. 100 built.

PC Board Revision D
January
2018.
Changes:
Corrected wiring issues with LIN bus monitor and control signals.
Qty. 300+ built.

PC Board Revision F
December 2020.

Changes:
Added P10 to accommodate the comms signals to the AVT-424 LIN Expansion mezzanine board.
Added JP1 and JP2 to allow an alternate source for the VBATT supply for LIN0 and LIN1.
Qty. 100 built (so far).

NOTES


1 - Flexray will never be available.

2 - Add LIN expansion board.
Refer to rev. "FC" modification instructions.

3 - Separate LIN0 and LIN1 supply/reference voltage sources.
Refer to rev. "FD" modification instructions.

After modification:

LIN0 supply is on P3 pin 8.
LIN1 supply is on P3 pin 9.

4 - Add a solid state relay controlled by software command.
The solid state relay is connected to P3 pins 6 and 19.
Used to control or signal off-board hardware.
Refer to rev. "FF" modification instructions.


5 - Over-voltage protection zener diode D18 has been changed to a +18 volt device.
As of 14 March 2023, this will be the standard ship configuration.
