Hardware Overview

MicroMod Processor Board

The MicroMod ATP Carrier Board includes a location for a MicroMod Processor Board. Here is where your chosen Processor Board will reside.

MicroMod M.2 Connector

Power

There are a variety of power-related nets broken out to female header pins and their corresponding through hole pads. The image below highlights those female headers and pads. The board can be powered from the VIN pin with a recommended voltage between 3.3V to 6.0V. It can also be powered with 5V from the USB C connector. The voltage is regulated down to 3.3V with the AP7361C voltage regulator to power your devices with up to 1A of current. If your voltage is clean, and regulated, you can also connect it directly to the 3.3V line.

Power Pins

Backup Battery

The board has a built-in backup battery for Processor Boards with an RTC. Depending on the processor, it may not be connected

USB Ports

You have the option of connecting the board to a computer using the USB connectors. The USB Type C connector is used to power, program the processor board, or pass serial data to a serial terminal. If your processor board has dedicated pins broken out for USB host, there is an option for USB host through the female USB Type A connector. There is a Schottky diode on the USB host's 5V pin to prevent conflicting voltages from the USB host device and USB-C connector. If necessary, you can bypass the diode to power the USB host device by adding a wire between the VHOST pin and VIN pin.

All the [GPIO] Pins

Remember our "All the Pins!" nickname? Well, we meant it. On the MicroMod ATP, we broke out all the major pins using the general MicroMod hardware pinout v1.0 from the M.2 connector to the female headers. We've also added a secondary rail of plated through-holes alongside them to give you the choice of either plug and play or soldering directly to the board. Your mileage may vary depending on the processor board that you are using.

Qwiic and I2C

There are two locations on the board for your favorite Qwiic-enabled device. In addition to the Qwiic connectors, we also have pins that are broken out on the should you need to use jumper wires or solder wire direction to both boards. If you look closely at the port labeled as I2C, there is a dedicated I2C interrupt pin available.

Qwiic Connectors and I2C

There are mounting holes to attach each standard 1.0"x1.0" Qwiic-enabled device.

Reset and Boot Buttons

The reset button will reset the processor. The boot button will put the processor into a special boot mode. Depending on the processor board, this boot pin may not be connected.

SWD Programming Pins

For advanced users, we broke out the SWD programming pins. Note that this is not populated so you will need a compatible header and compatible JTAG programmer to connect.

SWD Programming PIns

LEDs

There are two LEDs on the board.

  • VIN - The VIN LED turns on whenever there is voltage applied on the VIN pin. This can be from the USB C connector or the VIN pin on the edge of the board.
  • 3V3 - The 3V3 LED turns on whenever there is voltage on the 3.3V pin. This can be from the output of the 3.3V voltage regulator or any of the 3.3V nets located on the edge of the board.

LEDs

Jumper Pads

There are a few jumpers populated on the board:

  • Bypass (BYP) - By default, the BYP is left open. Adding a solder jumper bypasses the 2A resettable fuse on the back of the board should you decide to pull more than 2A from your USB source. Proceed with caution should you decide to bypass the jumper.
  • Enable (EN) - By default, the EN jumper is left open. This jumper is connected to a processor board's GPIO pin. The processor board can control the ATP's voltage regulator. Depending on the processor, this may not be connected.
  • Current Measurement (MEAS) - By default, the MEAs is closed. Cutting the jumper and soldering to the PTH pads will allows you to insert a current meter and precisely monitor the how much current your application is consuming.
  • 3V3 LED - By default, the 3V3 LED is closed. Cutting this jumper will disable the LED when there is 3.3V.
  • VIN LED - By default, the VIN LED is closed. Cutting this jumper will disable the LED whenever there is an input voltage.
