| Power |
On-board low-dropout voltage and reset generation • Generates +3.3V (and +5V supply if external 9-15VDC power supply) • +3.3V available for external circuits, up to 300 mA • Power supply: 9-15 VDC, from 2.1 mm power connector, or directly from USB connectors. |
| Connectors |
• mini-B USB, USB-to-serial bridge interface • mini-B USB, LPC2148 device interface • MMC/SD memory card connector • JTAG • 50 pin expansion connector • 2.1 mm power supply connector |
| Other |
• 2 Kbit I2C E2PROM for storing non-volatile parameters • Simple and automatic program download (ISP) via USB-serial channel. Circuit that automatically controls the bootloader from USB-serial channel • Four layer PCB (FR-4 material) for best noise immunity • Delivered with 50 pos flat cable for explansion connector |
The 50 pos expansion connector can be used for own experiments. The following signals are available on the expansion connector:
• P0.0 - P0.23, P0.25, P0.28-P0.31
• P1.16 - P1.25
• Reset
• Vref
• Vbat
• Power; VCC (+3.3V), GND, and Vin (+5V)
The Experiment Expansion Board can be bought separately for more interesting and useful experiments. For details about the board, see the Experiment Expansion Board page.
