INTRODUCTION TO DEV 2766 TRAINER:
DEV-2766 carries all essential elements of circuit patching, no separate equipment is required.
The trainer board consists of many elements but the detailed description of only those
elements is given that are used mostly in logic design experiments.

Two –position Selector Switches to select a L→H or H→L momentary pulse

Soft Keys: A L→H or H→L momentary pulse becomes available when one of these keys is pressed.
Pulse Out: The momentary pulse can be extended from these sockets any input on the trainer.
-12V: -12V±10% DC fixed are available in this socket.
GND: Socket to take Ground out
+5V: Socket for +5V±10% DC fixed out.
+12V: Socket for +12V±10% DC fixed out
-5V: Socket for -5V±10% DC fixed out
Ext Capacitor: Capacitor can be added in this socket to change the frequency of Ext Clock Out.
Fix Clock Out: A fix clock output is available in this socket.

Out Put Sockets
Ext. Clock Out: A clock waveform is available in this socket.
Digital Block Outputs: Output of the trainer micro-controller can be extended from this
socket. The output can also be monitored on LCD.
RS-232C PC Serial Interface A 9-pin female jack for connecting to the serial port of a PC and an
associated socket for interfacing its input and output to connections on the
trainer.
Digital Block Inputs: Input to the trainer microcontroller can be given from this socket and
also can be monitored on the LCD.
Seven Segments Display: A display that takes BCD input and displays the decimal
value.
BCD Inputs: Binary coded decimal (BCD) input for the 7segment display.
Logic Probe: Two LED’s for indicating TTL High or Low levels picked up by the logic
Probe

 Digital Inputs: Eight sockets for output of the Logic Switches and providing logic input. When a
TTL high in provided at this Digital Input Socket, corresponding status LED glows.
Status LEDs: H/L indicators of digital inputs
Logic Switches: logic switches for providing TTL logic level high (5V) and low (0V) at the
corresponding output point of the sockets.
Digital Outputs: Eight sockets for output of the Logic Switches and providing logic input. When
a TTL high in provided at this Digital Input Socket, corresponding status LED glows.
Status LEDs: Eight LEDs for indicating presence of TTL high logic.
Graphical LCD Display: 128 x 64 dots graphic LCD. Digital Block input/output is displayed on
LCD.

ADD ON MODULES:

In order to cover complete range of digital electronics, DEV-2766 is supplemented by a number

of add-on modules. The add-on module is conveniently placed on six mounting screw as shown
in the figure.1.1 above.
The add-on module derives power from trainer through mounting screws. The screws on the
four corners derive +5V, -5V, +12V and -12V respectively. Each one of these screws has an
adjacent LED. When the cap is tightened over the screw, the corresponding DC voltage become
available and the LED glows. This feature eliminates user’s inconvenience of extending jumper
wires between trainer and add-on module for DC supplies.

RIMS DEV-2762-05 BREADBOARD MODULE:

This is the most basic module that accompanies most of the trainer boards. RIMS trainer still
includes a relay, potentiometer and all supply points.

Figure.1.3. RIMS 2762-05 Breadboard module

A standard breadboard generally consists of rows and columns of connections (female) for
patching electronic circuits. All connections in a larger column are shorted i.e. if the pin of an IC

4
is inserted in any one connection of a column; the pin is in fact connected to all other
connections of that column.

ADD-ON MODULES AND INSTRUCTIONS:

Please note that the module housing points are also power points. Insert the module slowly and
ensure it is properly locked

CAUTION!

1. Do not Short Circuit housing points don’t insulate housing points

2. Use only Modules designed to RIMS Specification (+5V, -5V, +12V, -12V & GND are
available).

INTEGRATED CIRCUITS:
An integrated circuit (IC) is a group of components which may include resistors, low value
capacitors and transistors printed on a silicon chip. The individual components of the I.C make
up a commonly used circuit. The circuits can range from simple voltage regulators to audio
chips for a head unit to a microprocessor for a computer. The chip is packaged in a plastic
holder with pins spaced on a 0.1" (2.54mm) grid which will fit the holes on breadboards. Very
fine wires inside the package link the chip to the pins.

PIN NUMBERS:
The pins are numbered anti-clockwise around the IC (chip) starting near the notch or dot. The
diagram shows the numbering for 14-pin ICs, but the principle is the same for all sizes.
Sometimes the chip manufacturer may denote the first pin by a small indented circle above the
first pin of the chip. Remember that you must connect power to the chips to get them to work.

DATASHEETS:
Datasheets are available for most ICs giving detailed information about their ratings and
functions. In some cases example circuits are shown.

LOGIC ICs (CHIPS):

Logic chips process digital signals and there are many devices, including logic gates, flipflops,
shift registers, counters and display drivers. They can be split into two groups according to their
pin arrangements: the 4000 series and the 74 series which consists of various families such as
the 74HC, 74HCT and 74LS.

The figure below shows the internal (gate level) implementation in ICs.
