hi,
the schematic you posted, uses eight 573 + one 138. As suggestion, the same may be done with eight selectors like 251 without 138 chip involved. In this case you use each 251 for each realys` group and then trace its output to port pin (one pin for each group). Indeed, this requires some software re-arrange work but at same time safes chips` number and makes easy tracing of PCB. Think: your way requires about 64 (for data buses) + 8 (to enable) wires from MCU to registers while the way we talk about, needs only 8 (data lines) + 24 (for addressing) ones. Be sure, your hardware team says thanks for it. Regards, Oleg |
