4.1.1  Connections and peripheral switch  

The MTi Development Board has the following connections and switches: 
 

 

24-pins dual row header with a pitch of 2.54 mm: The table below shows the connections:  For information 
on the connections, refer to the pin description in section 4.2. Refer to Table 3 on how to enable the various 
interfaces on the Development Board.

Micro USB: the MTi-1 Development Board has a micro USB connection that can be used to connect directly 
to a USB port on a PC or laptop. To enable the communication via USB, make sure to have the peripheral 
selection set to UART (full duplex). 

 

Peripheral switch: This switch sets the interface configuration of the 12.1 x 12.1 mm module in the socket of 
the MTi-1 Development Board.

C to 3.0V, if VDDIO is 

not supplied to pin nr 2 of the 24-pins connector. Setting a 
VDDIO, either external or with this lever, is required to 
properly define the voltage levels of SYNC_IN.  

VDDIO_1.8V 

Sets the VDDIO of UART, SPI and I

2

C to 1.8V, if VDDIO is 

not supplied to pin nr 2 of the 24-pins connector. When 
VDDIO_3.0V is selected as well, VDDIO will be 3.0V. Setting 
a VDDIO, either external or with this lever, is required to 
properly define the voltage levels of SYNC_IN.
