Power Supply
There are two power supply options for CAPTIVATE-EMC board (see
•
5 V to 20 V DC power through connectors JP1 and JP2. The color of the connectors shows the
polarity, red for positive and black for negative. A TI
+3.3-V 1.5-A LDO provides power for
all the devices on the CAPTIVATE-EMC.

The CAPTIVATE-PGMR board also can provide 3.3-V power supply to the CAPTIVATE-EMC through
connector J1.

NOTE:
Do not connect the CAPTIVATE-PGMR directly to the CAPTIVATE-EMC when a DC power
supply is enabled.

Debug Connector
The 20-pin debug connector J1 is for interfacing to the CAPTIVATE-PGMR board. This connector
provides power, Spy-Bi-Wire, and UART connectivity with the CAPTIVATE-PGMR module.
The Spy-Bi-Wire port lets the user download and debug their own code or the demo code to the
MSP430FR2676 MCU on the CAPTIVATE-EMC board.
The MSP430FR2676 MCU communicates with a dedicated USB HID Bridge MCU located on the
CAPTIVATE-PGMR module using UART to send sensor data and status to the
as part of the sensor design and tuning process.

An easy way to get started with the EVM is by using its preprogrammed out-of-box code. This code
demonstrates some key features of the EVM.
