NuMaker-NUC240V OVERVIEW The NuMaker-NUC240V is an evaluation board for Nuvoton NuMicro NUC230/NUC240 series microcontrollers. The NuMaker-NUC240V consists of two parts: an NUC240V target board and an on- board Nu-Link2-Me debugger and programmer. The NuMaker-NUC240V is designed for project evaluation, prototype development and validation with power consumption monitoring function. The NuMaker-NUC240V is suitable for automotive and industrial control applications developing which need reliable and robust CAN communication.

NuMaker-NUC240V Extension Connectors Table 3-1 presents the extension connectors. Connector Description JP3, JP4, JP5 and JP6 Full pins extension connectors on the NuMaker-NUC240V. NU1, NU2, NU3 and Arduino UNO compatible pins on the NuMaker-NUC240V. Table 3-1 Extension Connectors 3.3.1 Pin Assignment for Extension Connectors The NuMaker-NUC240V provides the NUC240V onboard and extension connectors (JP3, JP4, JP5 and JP6).
NuMaker-NUC240V Power Supply Configuration The NuMaker-NUC240V is able to adopt multiple power supplies. External power sources include NU1 Vin (7 V to 12 V), V (depending on the target chip operating voltage), and PC through USB connector. By using switches and voltage regulator, multiple power domains can be created on the NuMaker- NUC240V.
NuMaker-NUC240V 3.4.3 3.3 V Power Sources Table 3-6 presents the 3.3 V power sources. Voltage 5 V Source Description Regulator ICEUP1 converts USB_HS_VBUS to 3.3 V and ICEUP1 USB_HS_VBUS supplies 3.3 V to NUC240V target board or ICE chip. UP1 converts USB_VBUS to 3.3 V and supplies 3.3 V to NUC240V target board.
