Xplained Pro Power Header The power header can be used to connect external power to the SAM B11ZR Xplained Pro kit. The kit automatically detects and switches to any external power if supplied. The power header can also be used to supply power to external peripherals or extension boards.
Xplained Pro Extension Headers The SAM B11ZR Xplained Pro headers EXT1 and EXT3 offers access to the I/O of the microcontroller in order to expand the board e.g., by connecting extensions to the board. These headers are based on the...

An angled 1x2, 100mil pin-header marked with MCU current measurement is located at the upper edge of the SAM B11ZR Xplained Pro. All power to the ATSAMB11ZR is exclusively routed through this header (excluding power to headers and peripherals). To measure the power consumption of the device, remove the jumper and replace it with an ammeter.

4.2.5 Battery Header The SAM B11ZR Xplained Pro has a BATTERY HEADER for connecting the battery to power the ATSAMB11ZR-210CA module. The battery header has a VCC and GND pin and is reverse polarity protected. The battery power supply can be given to the device by placing a jumper over pin 1-2 on the 3- pin VBAT SELECT header.
I²C,EXT3 Embedded Debugger Implementation SAM B11ZR Xplained Pro contains an Embedded Debugger (EDBG) that can be used to program and debug the ATSAMB11ZR using Serial Wire Debug (SWD). The Embedded Debugger also includes a Virtual Com port interface over UART, a Data Gateway Interface (DGI) over SPI, and I C , and also includes four of the SAM B11ZR GPIOs.

SAM B11ZR Xplained Pro XAM Configuration On the SAM B11ZR Xplained Pro the MCU and the MCU peripherals (e.g. extensions) are powered by their own regulator, as shown in the following figure. All other parts of the board, mainly the embedded debugger and accompanying Xplained Pro Analog Module (XAM), are powered from a separate regulator.

ATSAMB11ZR Figure 4-2. SAMB11ZR XAM Implementation Block Diagram On the SAM B11ZR Xplained Pro the XAM can be used in four configurations: No current measurement or external MCU current measurement: The XAM is bypassed and thus the MCU and peripherals are supplied directly by the regulator. Set both jumpers in the "BYPASS"...
