Circuit Pad for External Connection 

A circuit pad is provided on the right side of each evaluation board for the development of 
additional application circuits.

The first row of the circuit pad is for connecting a 5V power supply; the second row is for 
connecting a 3.3V power supply. The last row of the circuit pad is for grounding. Serial signals are 
mapped to J3 as an extension of jumper block J9. DIO and LED signals are mapped to J4 as an 
extension of jumper block J10. This means that pin assignments for J3 on the circuit pad are the 
same as the pin assignments for jumper block J9; pin assignments for J4 on the circuit pad are the 
same as the pin assignments for jumper block J10.

Connecting the Power 

Connect the 12 VDC power line with the evaluation board’s power jack. If the power is properly 
supplied, the power LED will show a solid red color until the system is ready, at which time the 
ready LED will show a solid green color.
