5.3 Digital Circuitry

This section describes the digital circuitry around the device.

J2 and J3 are the main header pins that connect the digital and power pins to the SCB Controller or other EVMs. J3 connects to the EVM/SCB on the right, while J2 connects to more EVMs on the left. R5 and R6 are used as pullup resistors for the main digital IO pins.

SW0 and SW1 set the I2C address of the device. This can be useful when using the EVM with a custom controller (other than the SCB Controller), or when connecting multiple EVMs together. Currently the SCB Controller and GUI are set up to use four EVMs at a time.

R8 is used as a pullup resistor for the ALERT pin, which is routed to both J2 and J3. LED D2 and current limiting resistor R7 are used to indicate when the ALERT has triggered. Header J4 and jumper SH-J4 are used to disconnect the ALERT pin from the EVM ALERT bus by disconnecting from J3. This is primarily used when working with multiple EVMs, so that the individual ALERT LEDs can be seen on each EVM when the ALERT bus is not needed.
