Figure 4-2. Connections from Motor to MCT8316AEVM
shows where the micro-USB cable is plugged into the MCT8316AEVM to provide communication
between evaluation module and GUI. The USB data and 5 V power from the USB is converted into UART data
and 3.3 V power to power the MSP430FR2355 microcontroller. The 5 V from the USB power is limited to 500 mA
and the 3.3 V from the FTDI chip is limit to 30 mA. If the user wishes to supply more current to these rails, they
may use the 5V_SEL jumper J3 and 3V3_SEL jumper J5 to connect external power rails.
