CC3100MOD solution provides a robust and simple security experience. The CC3100MOD integrates the serial flash, RF filter, crystal, and all required passive components. This document explains the various configurations, usage, and versatility of the CC3100MODBOOST. First, it can be connected to a TI MCU LaunchPad (provided examples for MSPEXP430F5529LP).
Hardware Description www.ti.com Block Diagram Figure 3. CC3100MODBOOST Block Diagram Hardware Features • CC3100MOD module with fully integrated solution • 2×20 pin stackable connectors • Power from on-board LDO, using USB or 3.3 V from MCU LaunchPad • Three (3) push buttons •...
Some of the LaunchPads are not capable of sourcing the peak current requirements of Wi-Fi. In this case, the USB connector on the CC3100MODBOOST can be used to aid the peak current. The use of Schottky diodes ensure that the load sharing occurs between the USB connectors on the LaunchPad and the BoosterPack without any board modifications.
CC3100MODBOOST. In this case, the on-board 3.3-V LDO can be used (see Figure 7). This LDO is sourced from the USB connector on the CC3100MODBOOST and the LaunchPad in a shared load manner. Figure 7. 3.3-V Power From LDO CC3100MOD SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® Network Processor Module BoosterPackSWRU396A – December 2014 – Revised September 2015...
Ensure that none of the header pins are bent before connecting the two boards. Jumper Settings on the CC3100MODBOOST Table 8 specifies the jumpers to be installed on the CC3100MODBOOST before pairing with the EMUBOOST board. Table 8. CC3100MODBOOST Jumper Settings...
LaunchPad Current Limitation Some of the LaunchPads, including the MSP430FRAM, do not provide enough current to power the CC3100MODBOOST. The BoosterPack can consume up to 400-mA peak from the 3.3 V, and may need power separately. For this, a USB connector is provided on the BoosterPack to provide the 3.3 V.
