Prototyping Board Features - Rabbit RabbitCore RCM4200 User Manual

B.1.1 Prototyping Board Features
Power Connection
•
Note that the 3-pin header is symmetrical, with both outer pins connected to ground and
the center pin connected to the raw V+ input. The cable of the AC adapter provided
with the North American version of the Development Kit is terminated with a header
plug that connects to the 3-pin header in either orientation. The header plug leading to
bare leads provided for overseas customers can be connected to the 3-pin header in
either orientation.
Users providing their own power supply should ensure that it delivers 8–24 V DC at
8 W. The voltage regulators will get warm while in use.
Regulated Power Supply
•
routed to a 5 V switching voltage regulator, then to a separate 3.3 V linear regulator.
The regulators provide stable power to the RCM4200 module and the Prototyping
Board.

nected to the PB4 and PB5 pins of the RCM4200 module and may be read as inputs by
sample applications.
Two LEDs are connected to the PB2 and PB3 pins of the RCM4200 module, and may
be driven as output indicators by sample applications.
Prototyping Area
•
of through-hole components. +3.3 V, +5 V, and Ground buses run around the edge of
this area. Several areas for surface-mount devices are also available. (Note that there
are SMT device pads on both top and bottom of the Prototyping Board.) Each SMT pad
is connected to a hole designed to accept a 30 AWG solid wire.
Module Extension Header
•
duplicated at header J2. Developers can solder wires directly into the appropriate holes,
or, for more flexible development, a 2 × 25 header strip with a 0.1" pitch can be sol-
dered into place. See Figure B-4 for the header pinouts.
NOTE: The same Prototyping Board can be used for several series of RabbitCore mod-
ules, and so the signals at J2 depend on the signals available on the specific RabbitCore
module.
Analog Inputs Header
•
header J3. These analog signals are connected via attenuator/filter circuits on the Proto-
typing Board to the corresponding analog inputs on the RCM4200 module. Developers
can solder wires directly into the appropriate holes, or, for more flexible development, a
2 × 7 header strip with a 0.1" pitch can be soldered into place. See Figure B-4 for the
header pinouts.
