and
Order Number Descriptions

Updated: 17 July 2007

Revision A0
Limited release: 21 February 2006
Low cost multiple interface supporting: CAN-C; SWC; J1850 VPW; and K-line networks.
Communication to host computer: RS-232 serial.
This board does not have JP2 jumper for the K-line signal.
Pull down resistors (24.9 K ohm) were hand installed for the ADC inputs across the TVS diodes.
This board has an incorrect crystal configuration that was corrected by hand modification.
Prototype.
Quantity built: 4.

Revision A1
Limited release: 5 April 2006
Low cost multiple interface supporting: CAN-C; SWC; J1850 VPW; and K-line networks.
Communication to host computer: RS-232 serial.
Corrected the crystal circuit and other minor changes to board layout.
Prototype.
Quantity built: none.

Revision A2
Limited release: 18 May 2006
Low cost multiple interface supporting: CAN-C; SWC; J1850 VPW; and K-line networks.
Communication to host computer: RS-232 serial.
Added jumper JP2 for the K-line signal.
Pull down resistors (24.9 K ohm) were hand installed for the ADC inputs across the TVS diodes.
Initial production layout.
Quantity built: 8.

Revision A3
Production release: June 2006
Low cost multiple interface supporting: CAN-C; SWC; J1850 VPW; and K-line networks.
Communication to host computer: RS-232 serial.
Changed the layout to add pull down resistors (24.9 K ohm) to the ADC inputs.
Production layout.

Performed on request only.

Revision A5
Limited release: 9 February 2007
(Decommissioned ~17 April 2007)
Low cost multiple interface supporting: CAN-C; SWC; J1850 VPW; and K-line networks.
Communication to host computer: RS-232 serial.
Modified a production AVT-841 as a prototype AVT-843.
Quantity built/modified: 1

Revision A6
General release: ~17 April 2007
Connect U1 pin #64 (PortA7) to U7 pin #2 (SCI1 TXD, PortS3).
This modification is only needed for KWP init functions and LIN mode.

Revision A7
General release: 14 June 2007
For revision "A" boards.
Modify the 2-wire CAN termination scheme to be Ford compliant.
Remove: R16, R17, R18. C25 can be removed or left in-place.
Install: R14, R15 (100 ohm); C20, C21 (470 pF); C22, C23 (100 pF).

Revision A8
General release: 17 July 2007
Remove R24; passive pull-up on K-line. This makes the passive pull-up on the K-line compatible for LIN operations.
