Frequently asked questions
1. I do not have a Type-C connector on my PC. Can I still connect and use this kit?
2. How does CY8CKIT-062-WIFI-BT handle voltage connection when multiple power sources are plugged in?
3. How can I access smart I/O and other GPIOs connected to on-board peripherals?
4. What are the three selection switches on baseboard used for?
5. What is the on-board jumper for?
6. What are the input voltage tolerances? Are there any overvoltage protection on this kit?
7. Why is the voltage of the kit restricted to 3.3 V? Can it drive external 5-V interfaces?

1. I do not have a Type-C connector on my PC. Can I still connect and use this kit?
Yes. To evaluate PSoC™ 6 MCU features, any PC with USB 2.0 connectivity is sufficient.
2. How does CY8CKIT-062-WIFI-BT handle voltage connection when multiple power sources are plugged in?
There are five options to power the baseboard: Type-C USB connector (J10), external DC supply via VIN connector
(J9/ J1), debug and trace header (J12, VTARG_IN), program and debug header (J11). Type-C and VIN take priority
over other supply options. These inputs are ORed using a diode, and the higher voltage between the two take
precedence. The output of the ORing diode is given to a buck-boost regulator (U30) that generates a constant
5.2 V. This output is ORed with the ETM supply (J12), which is typically 5 V. For most practical applications, the
output from the 5.2-V regulator takes priority and the same is given as an input to the voltage regulator (U10).
LiPo battery voltage is used when all the above sources are absent. The output of the buck regulator (U30) is ORed
with the supply voltage from the program and debug header (J11); the higher voltage takes precedence. See
Table 6
for more details on voltage input and output scenarios.
3. How can I access smart I/O and other GPIOs connected to the on-board peripherals?
The smart I/O (Port 8 and Port 9.3) and GPIO connected to the on-board peripherals are multiplexed with PSoC™
6 MCU I/O headers (J2 and J20). By default, some of these I/Os are connected to the on-board peripherals using
series resistors. These resistors can be changed to route these I/Os to headers. See
that needs to be changed.
4. What are the three selection switches on the baseboard used for?
Table 5
gives details on all two selection switches.
