“key” to prevent the misalignment of the pins or reverse connection. Ensure that Vcc and 5V pins, are aligned with the BoosterPack header pins. On the CC3200 LaunchPad, a small white triangle symbol is provided near Pin-1 (see Figure 3) to orient all BoosterPacks.
Open: Isolate the on-board emulator from the CC3200. J11(TDO) For the SWD mode, only TCK and TMS need to be shorted to the CC3200. When a battery is used, be sure to disconnect all the JTAG headers to prevent any reverse leakage current.
The board can be powered by using the on-board micro USB connector. An on-board LDO provides 3.3 V for the CC3200 and the rest of the board to operate. This supply can be isolated from the LDO using the jumpers on the board.
Sense on Power The CC3200 can be set to operate in three different modes based on the state of the Sense on Power (SOP) lines. These are pins 21, 34, 35 on the CC3200 device. The state of the device is described in Table Table 6.
Reference Usage Comments RESET This is used to RESET the CC3200 device. This signal is also output on the 20-pin connector to RESET any external BoosterPack which may be stacked. GPIO_22 When pushed, the GPIO_22 will be pulled to VCC.
Measure CC3200 Current Draw To measure the current draw of the CC3200, use the 3V3 jumper on the jumper isolation block. (J12). The current measured in this mode includes only the CC3200 current and no external blocks. However, if a GPIO of the CC3200 is driving a high current load like LED, then that is also included in this measurement.
Figure 11. Measuring Low Power 1. Remove the 3V3 jumper (J12); attach an ammeter across this jumper. 2. Make sure that the CC3200 is not driving any high current loads directly like an LED as this can cause large current drawn.
All design files including firmware patches, software example projects, and documentation are made available from the SimpleLink Wi-Fi Platform page. The Software Development Kit (SDK) to use with the CC3200 LaunchPad can be obtained from http://www.ti.com/tool/cc3200sdk. SWRU372B – June 2014 – Revised January 2015 CC3200 SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi ®...
For more details on where to download the latest IDE, see Section 4.3. The CC3200 Programmer's guide (SWRU369) has detailed information on software environment setup, and examples. Please refer to this document for further details on the software sample examples. 3.1.1 CCS 6.0 or higher is required.
Floating S-Flash Lines (Rev 3.2 and Earlier) The SPI lines routed from the CC3200 to the on-board serial flash are not pulled up or down using resistors on the board. When the device enters Hibernate state, these pins can be floating and high currents can be drawn by the serial flash.
