How to build your TWR-FRAM
3
Step 1
Download and install software from www.ramtron.com/go/TWR-FRAM.
Download Quick Start Guide and supporting files.
3
Step 2
Install 3V lithium battery on the TWR-FRAM board.
The clip is rigid; please use care when installing
the battery.
3
Step 3
Locate the Elevator Modules (sold separately),
identified by the four card-edge connections.
3
Step 4
Identify each Elevator Module as either Primary
Elevator (white connections) or Secondary Elevator (black connections).
3
Step 5
Plug primary connections side of the TWR-FRAM board to the Primary
Elevator. Place the TWR-FRAM in top position of the Elevator (see inset photo).
This provides easy access to the jumper pins.

Step 6
Identify the primary and secondary card edges of the Processor Module
(TWR-K53N512 or similar device) and any additional modules you add to
your tower system.
3
Step 7
Plug the primary card edge of each module into the Primary (functional) Elevator.
