1. For mass production testing, short TP9 (U5, pin 9) to GND for "no-iPod" mode before applying power. This forces the PIC to immediately power up the LDO
without waiting to communicate with an iPod.
2. The DC_DC_MODE signal is intended for communication to the PIC. It will tell the PIC whether the KLR3012 is asleep or awake. That way, the PIC will know
that the KLR3012 has gracefully gone to standby mode and it can shut down the LDO. We don't need to stay in standby anymore, now that we have fast boot in
1.9.
3. For bench testing without an iPod, a dc short is required between analog and digital GND. So, short across one of the 100 nF caps that serve as ac shorts, or
short at the iPod connector.
4. LED Blinking Requirements (specified by Alesis):
- Green LED (LED1) - All state indications should be mapped to this LED, except enrollment.
- Red LED (LED2) - Should be solid on in enrollment, off otherwise.
5. R19: This resistor is an option for future PIC code changes. Assign dc-dc mode to this GPIO pin so that it acts as a sleep/wake indicator for the PIC. When the
PIC determines the KLR3012 has reached standby mode, it can cut the power at the LDO. FastBoot will allow a quick resume. Alternatively, the PIC can
