The BCU board is equipped with several
options for powering up the board that are easily configured using the available
jumpers.
- Option 1 utilizes power from the XDS110 in the case the operator is
using an XDS110 LP for programming and control. J2 Pin 16 is the 3.3VDC power
pin coming from the XDS110 LP and GND is tied to pins 1, 7, 13, 19, and 20.
Header pins 2 and 3 of J1 must be connected with a jumper when using the XDS110
as the power supply for the EVM. Additionally pin 18 of J2 provides the 5.0VDC
supply required to power up U4.
- Option 2 allows for the board to be powered up via an external supply
with the use of TP2 (3V3_EXT) and TP3 (GND). Header pins 1 and 2 of J1 must be
connected with a jumper when using an external power supply connected to TP2 and
TP3.
- Option 3 allows the user to power up the board via J7 pin 25
(3V3_EXT) and pins 2, 5, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 26 (GND) or via J14 pin 25
(3V3_EXT) and pins 2, 5, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 26 (GND). These pins can be
utilized as an input or as an output to supply power to an external
device/board. Header pins 1 and 2 of J1 must be connected with a jumper when
using an external power supply connected to J7 or J14, 3V3_EXT and GND.
- Option 4 allows the user to power each individual wireless MCU device via their
respective JTAG header. For WM #1 U1, J5 pin 1 (WM1_VDD) and pins 3 and 5 (GND)
can be used to power up the device. When using J5 to power up U1, it is
recommended that a jumper not be installed on J6. For WM #2 U7, J12 pin 1
(WM2_VDD) and pins 3 and 5 (GND) can be used to power up the device. When using
J12 to power up U7, it is recommended that a jumper not be installed on
J13.
In addition to the jumpers for the
various power sources, the board also allows the user to connect and disconnect
power to each wireless MCU device and to each watch dog timer via header jumpers.
Installing a jumper on J6 powers up WM #1 U1 and removing the jumper disables the
device when configured for power options 1, 2, or 3 above. Installing a jumper on
J13 powers up WM #2 U12 and removing the jumper disables the device when configured
for power options 1, 2, or 3 above. Installing a jumper on J9 powers up WM #1's
watch dog timer U6 and removing the jumper disables the device. Installing a jumper
on J16 powers up WM #2's watch dog timer U9 and removing the jumper disables the
device. Jumper locations are shown in Wireless MCU and WD Power Jumpers figure.
Other manual jumper controls available
to the user are enabling/disabling of the 3 LEDs and the connecting/disconnecting of
the WDO (WM1_RST_L and WM2_RST_L) signal to each WM device. The user may want to
disconnect the LEDs from the WMs when taking power consumption measurements or if
removing the LEDs is desired. The user may want to disconnect the WDO from the
RESET_L line of a given WM when programming the WM or during
development/troubleshooting. Jumper locations are shown in LED and WDO Jumpers figure.
- Installing a jumper beween pins 1 and 2 of J3 enables the D1 LED and removing
the jumper disables the LED.
- Installing a jumper beween pins 3 and 4 of J3 enables the D2 LED and removing
the jumper disables the LED.
- Installing a jumper beween pins 5 and 6 of J3 enables the D3 LED and removing
the jumper disables the LED.
- Installing a jumper on J8 connects WDO of U6 to WM1_RST_L and removing the
jumper disconnects WDO from WM1_RST_L.
- Installing a jumper beween pins 1 and 2 of J10 enables the D4 LED and removing
the jumper disables the LED.
- Installing a jumper beween pins 3 and 4 of J10 enables the D5 LED and removing
the jumper disables the LED.
- Installing a jumper beween pins 5 and 6 of J10 enables the D6 LED and removing
the jumper disables the LED.
- Installing a jumper on J10 connects WDO of U9 to WM2_RST_L and removing the
jumper disconnects WDO from WM2_RST_L.
