Target Board S3A6 (TB-S3A6) User's Manual 3.1.2 Default Board Configuration The following table describes the default settings for each jumper on the TB-S3A6 Target Board. This includes traditional pin jumpers (Jx designation) and copper jumpers (Ex designation.) The Circuit Group for each jumper is the designation found in the board schematic. (See Section 5: Electrical Schematics.) Functional details for many of the listed jumpers may be found in Section 4.4: Connectivity and Settings and Section 4.6: Additional Features.

Target Board S3A6 (TB-S3A6) User's Manual Power Requirements TB-S3A6 is designed for 3.3 Volt operation. Note that this also means that 5V PMOD devices cannot be used together with the TB-S3A6 unless they are powered separately. The total current available from the LDO regulator for all connected circuits is 0.600A or less, depending the 5V power source used.

Target Board S3A6 (TB-S3A6) User's Manual Option 3: Test Points TP1 and TP2 The TB-S3A6 can also be powered by installing a 3.3V source across TP1 (positive input) and TP2 (negative input). Copper jumper E35 must be open to enable powering the board using these test points. Figure 4 TP1, TP2 and LED1 on Target Board These test points supply voltage directly to the S3A6 MCU, the S124 J-Link MCU, and other on-board circuitry.

Target Board S3A6 (TB-S3A6) User's Manual 4.2.4 Measuring Current Consumption Pad 1 and 3 of the Copper jumper E6, which is a dual trace-cut jumper, allow measurement of +3V3 MCU supply current. Pad 2 and 4 of E6 allow measurement of VBAT supply current. Both traces are connected by default. These traces should be cut to enable power measurement.
The actual value selected should be based on the operating conditions of the MCU for the specific user application, and the sensitivity of the measurement equipment used.

Target Board S3A6 (TB-S3A6) User's Manual Target Board Pin Headers The Target Board pin headers, J1, J2, J3, and J4, provide access to all Main MCU interface signals, and to voltages for all Main MCU power ports. Fixed Function Pin Assignments For consistency across all Synergy Target Board Kits, some pin assignments on the headers have fixed function signal assignments.
Target Board S3A6 (TB-S3A6) User's Manual Additional Features 4.6.1 Analog Reference Voltages A footprint for installation of capacitors C21 and C23 is provided on the Target Board. These two capacitors provide noise-bypass capability for ports P010/P011 and for ports P012/P013. See Figure 20 for the circuit design. Port pair P010/P011 may be assigned as GPIO, where bypass capacitor C21 would damage signal quality.
