Page 5: Getting Started
UM11436 NXP Semiconductors PCA9959 Evaluation board OMPCA9959LEDEV Getting started 3.1 Assumptions Familiarity with the SPI-bus is helpful but not required. 3.2 Static handling requirements CAUTION This device is sensitive to ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). Therefore care should be taken during transport and handling. You must use a ground strap or touch the PC case or other grounded source before unpacking or handling the hardware. -
Page 6: Hardware Installation
OMPCA9959LEDEV evaluation board is connected to the OM13089 MCU board using two connectors (J1 & J2 on OMPCA9959LEDEV board and J1 & J8 on OM13089 board). The OM13089 MCU board communicates with PCA9959 demo GUI through PC USB port and uses SPI bus to communicate to PCA9959. - Page 7 UM11436 NXP Semiconductors PCA9959 Evaluation board OMPCA9959LEDEV Figure 2. OM13089 MCU board • OMPCA9959LEDEV evaluation board connecting to the OM13089 MCU board • Use J5 (USB Micro-B connector) on OM13089 for power supply and GUI communication port. • Use J7 (USB Micro-B connector) on OM13089 for additional power supply Figure 3.
