And Associated Jumpers 

 

 

 

 

 

 

USART 2 

 

 

Direct   

J7, J14   

 

USART2 can be configured for any 

one

 of the 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JP5, JP10, JP11    

following : 
Direct full duplex connection at 3.3Vdc 
Direct full connection at 5Vdc 
Direct half duplex connection at 3.3Vdc 
Direct half connection at 5Vdc 
Full duplex mode I/O available at J7 
Half duplex mode available at J14 
See USART2 configuration details later in this 
document for schematic and jumper 
configurations. 

USART 3 

 

 

Direct   

J8, 

 

 

USART3 can be configured for any 

one

 of the 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JP12, JP13  

 

following : 
Direct connection at 3.3Vdc (I/O available at J8) 
Direct connection at 5Vdc (I/O available at J8) 
See USART3 configuration details later in this 
document for schematic and jumper 
configurations. 

Power supply   

 

N/A 

 

J3, JP2, JP3, JP4  

The RCAT™ board comes configured for 
operation from a regulated 5Vdc 3Amp power 
supply. It can also be configured for operation 
from an unregulated input voltage of 7.5 to 
35Vdc by installing an optional LM7805C 
regulator in position U4. Please note that 
adequate heat sinking is required if you choose 
this option and install the regulator. It is up to 
the user to provide adequate heat sink. The 
RCAT™ has an onboard 3.3Vdc regulator for 
powering the onboard chips and systems 
requiring 3.3Vdc. This voltage is also available at 
several points on the board for use by external 
systems. It is incumbent upon the user to not 
exceed current draw and to provide proper heat 
sink if external 3.3V devices are connected. 
Please see the datasheets for the LM2937-3.3 
regulator chip for details and specs. Also note 
that the 3.3Vdc provided by this chip is NOT the 
same as the 3.3Vdc output that is made 
available on the USB bridge chip U11.
