Functional Description
4.2.1
Power Supply
The main power source of the GreenPAK DIP Development Board is the USB power line. The
Development Board can deliver power from 1.7 V to 5.5 V. To provide this power range the
Development Board is equipped with a boost converter.
4.2.2
USB Communication
The board has the USB communications interface that uses the USB mini-B connector. This interface
provides communication with the software control tool and supplies power to the board, as described
in Section
4.2.3
GND Connections
There are 4 GND pins on the left side, 2 pins on the right side. These can be used for test equipment
(oscilloscope, multimeter, and others) ground reference connection or to connect external test circuitry
ground.
4.2.4
DIP Adapter Connections
The GreenPAK DIP Development Board should be used with a DIP Adapter board. Its main purpose
is to connect the GreenPAK chip to the GreenPAK DIP Development Board. Information about DIP
Adapters is available online at
