Freescale Semiconductor 3-11
3.3.2 IO Connectors J2 and J3
The two IO connectors J14 and J15 are standard 100 mil pin headers mounted on the back (non-component
side) of the 12311-MRB.The primary header J15 is 20-pin and the secondary header J14 is 18-pin, and
they are mounted physically in such a manner as to prevent reverse insertion of the 12311-MRB into a
motherboard receptacle (see Figure 3-2). When the TWR-RF, 1323x-RCM or 1323x-REM or custom
motherboard is plugged into these connectors, they allow access to MC12311 MCU GPIO.
• V_BRD is the connector supply voltage.
— Depending on power supply configuration, this voltage may supply the 12311-MRB from the
motherboard or the 12311-MRB may supply this voltage to the motherboard. See Section 3.3.1,
“Power Management”.
— Peripherals IO to the MC12311 and the MC12311 supply should use this same voltage
NOTE
The TWR-RF, 1323x-RCM and 1323x-REM and 12311-MRB are supplied
configured for the motherboard to supply main power.
• Some of the GPIO are shared with onboard devices. Check for the 12311-MRB schematic and
Table 3-4 and Table 3-5 for any conflict.
• BDM port signal PTA4/BKGD is NOT connected to the IO headers to prevent possible interference
with the debug port.
