chipKIT Max32 Hardware Overview
The Max32 board provides the following hardware features:
1) USB Connector for USB Serial Converter
This connects to a USB port on the PC to provide the communications port used by the
MPIDE to talk to the Max32 board. This can also be used to power the Max32 board when
connected to the PC.
2) J11 – Microchip Debug Tool Connector
This connector is used to connect Microchip programmer/debugger tools, such as the
PICkit™3. This allows the Max32 board to be used as a traditional microcontroller
development board using the Microchip MPLAB
3) J2 – External Power Connector
This is used to power the Max32 board from an external power supply. This is a 5.5mm x
2.1mm barrel connector. It is wired with the center terminal as the positive supply voltage.
The power supply voltage must be in the range 7V to 15V.
