Connect Daughter Board To The Sensor Board (EVKT-KNOB or TBMA)
Use the provided ribbon cable to connect the connector board to the sensor board.
EVKT-KNOB is delivered with pre-soldered female socket connector while TBMA boards are delivered
without it. TBMA boards require therefore to hand solder the female connectors in order to be used with
the EVKT-MACOM. Before soldering, make sure to place correctly the connector polarization slot next
to pin 1 (as shown below).
Figure 15: Solder connectors CN1 and CN2 to TBMA
On TBMA boards (RD and LT), CN1 connector must be connected to the TBMA-CONN CN1 connector
using one of the provided 8 conductors ribbon cable. CN2 connection is not required for SPI
communication but provides an easy access to MagAlpha output signals on the LPC-Link2 daughter
board.
