..... ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT BOARD LEDs LEDs .................................................................................. LED DS1 LED DS2 LEDs: DS3, DS4, DS5, DS6 LED DS1 The switching regulator is adjusted to output +3.3VDC ± 5% or better. LED DS1 lights up when the regulator outputs +3.3V power. See “Power supply” on page 21 for more information. LED DS2 LED DS2 lights up when the host system supplies power over the USB bus.
ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT BOARD Switches and reset functionality Switches and reset functionality .................................................................................. Reset trigger breakout pin, pin 15 Reset switch, S1 JTAG switch, S3 Voltage monitor The development board provides a power supply voltage monitor and reset generator. When the +3.3V regulated supply voltage drops below 2.93V, the reset signal — RESET# — is asserted for a minimum of 140 msec.
..... ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT BOARD Power supply Power supply .................................................................................. The development board provides a 3.3VDC switching power supply. Either a bench power supply or an AC wall adapter supplies input power to the development board. The required input voltage range is 9–30VDC. Power supply Input power jack, J1 The input power jack, J1, is a barrel connector that accepts 9-30 VDC.
ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT BOARD JTAG JTAG .................................................................................. JTAG header, P200 Pinout 22 The development board provides a 20-pin JTAG header, P200. The pins are allocated as shown: Pin Signal Pin Signal 1 +3.3V 2 +3.
..... ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT BOARD USB peripheral interface USB peripheral interface .................................................................................. USB peripheral jack, J4 USB peripheral jack, J4 The USB Type B connector, J4, is the primary communications interface to the development board.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT BOARD U.FL and RP-SMA connectors RP-SMA connectors For more information 26 2 Attach the other end of the cable(s) to the U.FL connector(s) on the development board. 3 Attach the RP-SMA antenna to the appropriate RP-SMA connector on the development board. If you are using only one cable/connection, be sure you attach the RP-SMA antenna to the correct connector: If the cable is connected to U.FL connector P11, or WiFi antenna 1, attach the RP-SMA antenna to J11.
Using the Antenna T he Digi Connect Wi-Wave development board supports three types of antennas: 29000095 ANT, WHIP 2.4-2.5 GHz Dipole (2.0000) 29000146 ANT, WHIP 2.4 GHz Dipole 5 dBi (2.0000) Attach the U.FL-to-U.FL cables, provided in the development kit, to both the module and the development board. There are two cables included; whether you use one cable or both depends on how you set up your antenna(s). Be sure that the antenna you use complies with the regulatory requirements of your region.
USING THE ANTENNA Connect Wi-Wave antenna configurations U.FL cable and RP-SMA connection 28 The Connect Wi-Wave can transmit data or receive data, but not at the same time. Software controls the transmit/receive functionality as well as the antenna switch. You have the option of using two antennas (required for diversity receive) or one antenna to transmit and receive data.
..... USING THE ANTENNA General information General information .................................................................................. The module uses the same antennas to transmit and receive the 802.11b/g RF signal. An antenna switch is required to isolate the transmit signal from the receive signal. The antenna switch works by alternately connecting the antennas to either the transceiver PA transmit output or the transceiver receive input.
