8.3 Power Stage Board (Power Up Option Only)

When debugging is not necessary and the whole system needs to run independently, the MSP430F5510 daughterboard can be powered directly from the power-stage board with the following steps:

  1. Connect the right-angle male header (J4) to the corresponding female header on the Power Stage Board.
  2. Apply VIN to power-stage board to create the VBIAS voltage (approximately 10 V).
  3. Confirm approximately 10 V on Jumper J7, pin1.
  4. Populate jumper 7 to supply the VBIAS-IN to the TPS71533 3.3-V LDO. Confirm 3.3-V output on jumper 6, pin 1 and on jumper 12, pin 1.
  5. Populate jumper J6 to supply 3.3 V to daughterboard peripherals.
  6. Populate jumper J12 to supply 3.3 V to the MSP430F5510 microcontroller.

Power indicator LED D2 should light up, and the software should start up and begin execution.
