QN908x DK V1.2 board’s mark information list Number Name Description The QN908x USB port provides power supply to the whole QN908x USB port board and the USB signal path to the QN908x module. The LPC4322 USB port provides power supply to the...
2.3 CMSIS-DAP debugger The CMSIS-DAP debugger provides both the SWD/JTAG and UART interfaces. You may download or update the firmware into the QN908x device using the UART or JTAG/SWD interfaces. There is a debugger connector to program and debug an...
Fig 4. QN9080 module board The QN908x module has a MIFA antenna on the front side of the board. Therefore, it can work without an external antenna. There is a RF connector that has a switch on the RF front-end. You can easily perform the RF test by connecting an RF cable to the RF connector.

GPIO when a button is pressed. Fig 9. Buttons The SW3 button is used to reset the QN908x chip. Press the button to reset the QN908x. 2.10 LED The board offers a 3-color RGB LED. The connections are shown in 10.
DK User Guide 3. DK board application function 3.1 CMSIS-DAP interface The QN908x DK V1.2 board offers the JTAG/SWD interface either to the on-board or off-board QN908x targets. It also provides the USB-to-UART interface for QN908x. 3.1.1 CMSIS-DAP to on-board QN908x...
Due to the input offset voltage variations in MAX9634, the current measurement circuit is not recommended for measuring currents below 150 A. The QN908x current can be measured by the voltage across a sense resistor in series with the supply. The voltage across a series 4.12-Ω resistor with the target QN908x VCC can be manually measured at JP12 on the PCB.
QN908x NXP Semiconductors DK User Guide 3.2.1 Current test using a digital ammeter When performing the current test using an external digital ammeter, jumpers JP12, JP13, and JP14 must be set according to Table 7. Use a jumper cap to short the pins. The schematic is shown in Fig 13.
Before the RF test, download the Controller Mode binary file to the QN908x module to put the QN908x into the DTM mode. Connect an RF cable from the QN908x module to the CBT and set the CBT RS232 baud rate to 115200 bit/s. After that, start the RF test.
