QTM300CA USER'S GUIDE Cloning Adapter for the QT3xx family of QProx™ ICs The QTM300CA is a cloning adapter designed to interface between any QT3xx 8-pin sensor IC (QT300, QT310, QT320) and a PC or other host device. This adapter permits the designer to upload settings from a PC into the target chip or to read the settings inside a chip.
To begin using the board right away 1. Connect the QTM300CA to a PC using the serial cable (included). Make sure the serial port is not being used by any other application or driver. 2. Connect the QTM300CA to the target board’s 10-pin IDC cloning header; the stripe of the cable connects to the pin marked with a white square .
Figure 1 - Board Layout If a QT3xx chip has been auto-detected, this button will clone Setups data from the QTM300CA to the chip. The ‘PROG’ LED (see next section) indicates the programming result. The QTM300CA can store three sources of data, one for each part type.
Indicates the programming status of the target chip in Stand-alone mode. The PROG LED will light during the cloning process in Stand-alone mode. Afterwards the LED will flash on/off 3 times to indicate completion: Fast flashing: (0.1s between flashes) the clone process was a success.
Figure 2 - QT3View Screen Restores a config file saved by (File | Save). All three part selector configurations (tabs) will be restored by this action. Saves all three part selector configurations to disk in a single file, to a file name of your choice.
The status bar at the bottom shows the serial port and connection status. Possibilities are: Serial Port Status: - Off Line - COM1: 57600 N 8 1 - COM2: 57600 N 8 1 Connection Status: - Status: Clone c.
Cloning Directly to a Chip You can read and clone back information to a QT3xx chip directly from your PC without involving the onboard stand-alone memory of the QTM300CA. Here’s how.... Refer to the device data sheet and the QT3View help file for more information on Setup issues.
Clone the Setups to the Chip: Push the PROG button on the board. The PROG LED will light to indicate programming status. The PROG LED will flash to indicate the programming result; see page 4. Step 2 Hook everything up: Connect the QTM300CA’s cloning cable to the target PCB, or insert a QT3xx chip into the onboard socket.
If the Synchronization input is used, a 10K resistor should be used to avoid problems with the cloning process; see Figure 4 below. QT310 Place the connector as close as possible to the chip.
