30 digital channels and time resolution down to 40 ns point time per channel. For chip power usage analysis GreenPAK Pro Development Board includes a 2 channel power monitor for measuring voltage and current consumption parameters. These power monitors have two current measuring ranges: high current measurement that supports up to 60 mA and low current measurement that supports up to 1 mA. -
Page 8: Functional Description
4.2.1 Power Supply The main power source of the GreenPAK Pro Development Board is an external power supply that is supplied with the Development Board. Use only power supply that comes with the Development Board. The Development Board will not operate correctly without the external power supply. -
Page 9: Socket Connector
This 34-pin connector is in the left bottom portion of the Development Board. The Socket Connector is a standard 0.1" double row female connector. The GreenPAK Pro Development Board should be used with a detachable socket board. Its main purpose is to connect the target GreenPAK chip to the Development Board. -
